‘National Security’ Jibber Jabber

Stacy Summary:  All the laws passed during the national pandemic of fear are being used to protect the select few and to abuse the many.   SEC was asked to treat AIG / NY Fed as matter of national security.

  1. Gutten morgen!

    If warfare is now fought in the financial system that makes some sense..

    I always wonder whether it will someday be revealed european banks are behind fed behavior and the wholesale demolition of the US..That would not bode well for world peace.

  2. First!

    Where are the JFK autopsy results? National Security. Why won’t congress tell us who didn’t cash out on the put/call options on airlines on 911? National Security. Why aren’t the full details of Pat Tillmans death publicised? National Security.

    Why doesn’t Max Keiser live in the US? National Security. :D

    National Security can bite the back of my ball sack.

    Isn’t it better to fight a war in the Forex markets than on the battle field?

  6. In the US, nepotism and favouritism are a matter of national security.

    The press never speaks of it, and you don’t see it on the US web.

    The end product is this:

    America’s private net worth was $53.4 trillion as of September, 2009. But at the same time, America’s debt and unfunded liabilities totaled at least $120,000,000,000,000.00 ($120 trillion), or 225% of the citizens’ net worth.

    Even if the government expropriated every dollar of private wealth in the nation, it would still have a deficit of $66,600,000,000,000.00 ($66.6 trillion), equal to $214,286.00 for every man, woman and child in America and roughly 500% of GDP.

    If the government does not directly seize the nation’s private wealth, then it will require $389,610 from each and every citizen to balance the country’s books.

    State, county and municipal debts and deficits are additional, already elephantine in many states (e.g., California, Illinois, New Jersey and New York) and growing at an alarming rate nationwide.

    In addition to the federal government, dozens of states are already bankrupt and sinking deeper into the morass every day.

  7. It’s all your fault. As I recall they all have a part in the drama; China, Japan, Europe and the USA. The main culprit are the people from Wall Street and the City. As for the rest of Europe they followed like sheep even though they knew better. Very funny this National Security argument. When you want to screw and gang rape the taxpayer you just have to say:”Sorry National Security!” And voilà ! No questions asked ! AIG is a lot like the War on Terrorism. As long as you can put a patriotic spin on your stealing, politicians will stang down. Not difficult considering they are bought by these same banksters.

  8. Why are Americans never my customers?
    National security.

    Why can’t I accept USD payments?
    National security.

    Why would I prefer to avoid contacts with Americans the world over, including living in an Ocean that does not even border the US in any way? National security.

    Why has the Leviathan of the US state ceased to exist, lo these many years? National security.

    Why has practically no good come to Australia or NZ from their ties to the US since the late 1990s? National security.

  9. @Max Power
    The same can be said of Russia too. When you hear these words “National Security”, You know that you will have to deal with crazy or corrupt people. So true.

  11. off topic; blue gold world water wars: http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/S7WmfhQpsk4/ Although we can extract enough from oceans, just takes will power (stop spending trillions on banksters/indict banksters, stop wasteful wars etc.) It’s just like food, we can grow more than enough healthy/nutritious food which can feed the world many times over yet in some parts of the world there’s no food production (anymore, imf/worldbank/bis policies/corporate plundering/new age colonialism etc) while in other parts there’s an abundance of unhealthy, modified, addicting products (for example 50% of all vegetables here in Holland is thrown away before even reaching stores/restaurants due to “wrong proportions/looks” nothing wrong with nutritious value). Tip for stacy; instead of collecting free sugar bags start collecting water? peak water, peak oil, peak credit let’s hope peak ignorance and idiocy too. BTW this is not a doomsday theory, everything can be (easily) solved just requires people/will/consumer power that leads to a new technological revolution; not calling for taxes/depopulation etc. http://www.worldwatercouncil.org/index.php?id=25 From water to wars to copyright cartel to oil and climate change: everything leads back to banksters, but as long the people don’t know about the problems they can’t see the need for solutions

    On AIG/NY fed back room deals to kept secret as national security; obama himself signed the executive order for the bonuses and the money went to a lot of politicians/insiders themselves. If SEC says the banks/institutions are too big to fail then prosecute, the FED is not auditable nor are any of the imaginary bets/insurance/balance sheets of banks, Need some reason to keep people distracted/inject useless talking points. It’s obvious the biggest robbery by fraud took place where the banks/governments/supervisors/rating agencies/media all colluded for their own interest/benefit/profit, maybe if it was mentioned in avatar the sheople would know/realise but even this show keeps dreaming about how obama is working for the people’s interest and is just misguided or how great volcker is. At least better than the braindead people who still defend bush without any arguments.

The money games will swirl themselves at varying rates down the proverbial toilet. The real assets remain. Along with the ability to defend them.

    1. At least 99% of private pensions, and 96% of public pensions will collapse.

    2. Social Security and all forms of Medicare will collapse.

    3. US governmental defaults at all levels, from dog catching districts to the federal state.

    4. At least a 99% devaluation of the USD, with this happening maybe more than once.

    5. A good dose of hyperinflation that will endure far longer than the Weimar hyperinflation.

    6. US military funding to go to nil, as there is no money to pay for it.

  27. Got some propoganda in my email………

    Saturday evening on his Geraldo At Large program anchored from Haiti and aired on FNS, Geraldo Rivera and his brother Craig reported on an Israeli Defense Forces ( IDF) field hospital operating in Haiti. Within 24 hours of the earthquake the IDF had arrived in Haiti and built their field hospital (16 hours flying and 8 hours building). They have a full operating theater, a pediatric ICU, an Obstetrics facility and about 100 beds, all set up in a tent. The unit is staffed by about 40 IDF doctors. They are saving lives by preventing infection in neglected wounds and by operating when necessary. The IDF unit is complemented by a ZAKA unit, the folks who clean up human remains after bombings and provide for compassionate burial. It is worth noting that ZAKA are primarily orthodox Jews who violated the Sabbath in order to get to Haiti quickly. Jewish law says saving lives takes precedence over the Sabbath.

    There has been a general lack of publicity for this effort

    Please view this video from CNN. The reporter discovers, to her amazement, that Israel responded to the earthquake devastation in Haiti from “the other side of the world” with the most advanced field hospital installation possible. She marvels that the U.S., so much closer to Haiti, hasn’t done the same. Viewing this video will make you very proud of Israel’s accomplishments.

    “Be Careful What You Wish

    Everyone is railing about banks not lending and the bonus pools at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Morgan Stanley. Well guess what?
    Reduced leverage means reduced lending and reduced profit potential.
    Marking loans to market would reduce lending and reported earnings.
    Goldman Sachs going private would reduce S&P 500 earnings.
    Bringing assets on to the balance sheets of banks would reduce S&P 500 earnings.
    Reduced earnings (in the long run) means lower share prices
    Everyone wants more small business lending and less risk. Sorry folks, that is physically and logically impossible. Reducing reckless risk, especially risk born by others (taxpayers) is a good idea, but it’s important to understand exactly what that will mean to earnings going forward.

    Think of the affect lower share prices and reduced risk taking will have on pension plans and 401Ks. In the long run, less risk is a good thing, and I am in favor of it. I just doubt people are prepared for what it means.

    The stock market is already insanely overvalued, and the regulatory actions everyone is clamoring for will make it even more so. Good luck with that.”

    http://www.irinnews.org/Report.aspx?ReportId=74738

    “Civil society organisations in Niger and academics in the USA and UK agree that the people of Niger have not benefited from the 100,000 tonnes of uranium extracted over the past 36 years.

    Niger is the world’s third to fifth-ranking producer of uranium, producing over 3,000 tonnes of uranium a year. However, the UN Development Programme’s 2006 Human Development Index considers Niger the poorest country in the world, where life expectancy is 45 years old, 71 percent of adults cannot read, and 60 percent of the population lives on less than $1 a day.

    “The Nigerien people aren’t benefiting from the revenues,” said Ali Idrissa, coordinator of the Niger branch of Publish What You Pay, a worldwide coalition of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) calling on oil, gas and mining companies to disclose their payments to governments for the extraction of natural resources.

    The government of Niger’s share of the uranium revenue is small: foreign companies have a majority stake in the two uranium production companies, SOMAÏR and COMINAK, which are operated and mostly owned by Areva, a French multinational company and global mining giant.

    An expert records radiation readings at Shinkolobwe uranium mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The mine collapsed in July 2004 killing 9 people
    In July, the government renegotiated the price of its uranium, increasing the per kilogramme royalty to 40,000 CFA francs (US$86) for 2007. Still, under the terms of a decades-old agreement, the two production companies are only required to pay 5.5 percent of revenues to the government. In 2006, that totalled just 10 billion CFA francs (US$22 million), according to the Ministry of Mining and Energy.”

    @Guiseppi:
    Is this the John Kaiser you wanted Max to interview? He doesn’t seem to be ‘behind the curve’, you are right: he’s sharp. Here’s his investment strategy:

    ” I’ve actually created an index of about 14 companies in that space. One in which I have a personal investment is Quest Uranium Corporation (TSX-V:QUC). They’ve done sufficient drilling at their Strange Lake deposit in northern Quebec this past summer to outline a very significant deposit. It’s world-class in size, reasonable grade, and has a full distribution of all the rare earths metals, from lights to heavies. I suspect perhaps even a consortium of end users will end up acquiring this project and developing it almost like a private rare earths warehouse.
    TER: Any others?
    JK: Rare Element Resources Ltd. (TSX.V:RES) has the Bear Lodge deposit in Wyoming and Ucore Uranium (UCU:TSX.V) has the Bokan deposit near Ketchikan in Alaska. They’re not huge in the sense that the Strange Lake deposit is. Bear Lodge is a fairly good grade light rare earths deposit and the Bokan project is more dominated by the heavy rare earths. The USGS actually spent a bunch of money documenting the nature of the Bokan deposit in the late ’80s when we were still concerned about where the Soviet Union was going with its policies.
    Both Bear Lodge and Bokan are very interesting because the U.S. government is now investigating its own security of supply for the rare earths through the RESTART bill. The military in particular—which spends a good portion of its $600 billion annual budget on hardware—has awakened to the fact that some functionality of its critical hardware depends on rare earths inputs that now come only from China. Some consortium of defense contractors could end up taking over these projects and developing them as small-scale mines. They’d use government funded R&D to figure out process technology for getting these elements out of the mineral assemblages within which they are embedded, and probably share that technology with the private sector so other deposits can be developed to ensure the commercial market also has a supply as well from other rare earth deposits outside of China.
    TER: Except for Rare Element Resources, the companies you mentioned are obviously involved in uranium as well as rare earths. What’s your outlook for uranium?
    JK: Quest and Ucore both started as uranium exploration juniors. Because rare earth deposits can occur in geological settings conducive for uranium deposits, it is natural for open-minded geologists to recognize the rare earth potential of certain projects. Both companies have now shifted their focus to rare earths. I think the uranium sector will make a comeback in 2010. Uranium prices went way up in the past five years because it is very difficult to get new uranium supply on stream and we had a temporary spot market shortage. We now see uranium in the $40 to $50 range and it might increase $10 to $20 or so longer-term.
    The hope is that the Obama administration warms up to the idea that nuclear energy is an excellent carbon-free source of electricity. The Chinese have lots of uranium-based nuclear power reactors on the drawing board, but they are also looking at thorium, another candidate for nuclear energy but without the weapons-making capability. I don’t see demand for uranium going through the roof the way it can for the rare earths. The difference between uranium and the rare earths sectors is uranium essentially has two uses. One is to make nuclear weapons, and we really don’t want demand to go up there. The other is for nuclear power, and that demand can be quantified quite well in advance.”

    @Mother … France & Uranium / Nuclear Enegry

    I watched an excellent French Documentary a few days ago ( German dubbing ) which showed that there are WW currently 450 Nuclear waste dumps, mainly in the US, France , UK , Russia & India.
    These “dumps” are holding the waste in “water tanks” … as a temporary measure until they decide what to do with it.

    In France, they are experimenting with tunnels ca. 500 meters deep, on the basis that the waste will become harmless after ca. 200,000 years.

    In Russia, some of the waste is simply in drums standing in open-air silos which will be covered when full .

    They mentioned how easy it would be for terrorists to cause a new Chernobyl, but at least 4x larger !

    -At no point in the thorium cycle – from mining to waste – can fuel or waste products be used as bomb material in any way;
    -The thorium fuel cycle is inherently incapable of causing a meltdown according to the laws of physics; in nuclear reactor parlance, the fuel is said to contain passive safety features;
    -Thorium-based fuels do not require conversion or enrichment – two essential phases of the uranium fuel cycle that are exceedingly expensive, and create proliferation risk;
    -Thorium fuel cycle waste material consists mostly of 233-uranium, which can be recycled as fuel (with minor actinide content decreased 90-100%, and with plutonium content eliminated entirely);
    -Thorium-based fuels are significantly energy efficient;
    -Thorium fuel cycle waste material is radiotoxic for tens of years, as opposed to the thousands of years with today’s standard radioactive waste;
    -Thorium fuel designs exist today that can be used in all existing nuclear reactors;
    -Thorium exists in greater abundance and higher concentrations than uranium making it much less expensive and environmentally-unobtrusive to mine;

    May I make a few observations about this discussion of energy sources?

    It seems rather delusional to have a discussion of energy sources when the underlying issue is the population size being supported.

    When electrical energy is created, it is transmitted via wires from the source to the destination facility.

    Does it really make sense to transmit massive amounts of electrical energy via wires strung out over hundreds of miles?

    The entire electrical energy distribution system is really a real estate issue. You have to get right of way set aside for the high voltage transmission lines across multiple jurisdictions. Those rights of way include many “payments” to local politicians, groups, and others.

    In California a “Sempra Angel” was selling herself to Assemblyman Mike Duvall. The hapless Republican Assemblyman was caught on microphone bragging about how he was sleeping around on his wife with the blonde “Sempra Angel” lobbyist. His graphic description was broadcast via the internet to his district in the “conservative” county of Orange.

    If executives at Sempra Energy are willing to pay the “Sempra Angel” lobbyists for time with the politicians, who protects the people from these executives at Sempra when they decide to BLOCK renewable and sustainable energy from being used or purchased by the homeowner.

    Why should we be paying the gas and electric companies money every month and be subjected to continuing inflation of their pricing structure?

    Then, I did a calculation on what my daily use of energy was.

    Do you know your power use per day?

    I bet you don’t.

    It was easy, but a tedious process to calculate my energy consumption per day.

    My belief is that the energy numbers are likely to be similar to many other consumers in California. Do you know your daily use of electricity, natural gas, and gasoline?

    If not, you have no business telling me what sources of fuel are most efficient for me.

    So, I challenge you all to post your numbers.

  73. @CalDoc. now that you have these numbers what will you do with them. my numbers are in my face monthly. what is the fucking point you are making. hello snoot.

  74. @heh,ronron

    I thought it was interesting that the NPT is being used to monopolize resource control (imho) and not as a transcript for peace: and I wonder if thorium development as nuclear fuel is being depressed.

    I’m not trying to tell anyone what energy to use. It would seem that agenda has been cornered by the nuclear five.

  75. Its good someone is writing about the very misuse of power created by the ones benefiting from thier corrupt laws.

  78. The US Defense Department is going to look at American owned and operated rare earth resources first. At the moment this would be Molycorp and US Rare Earths, which are both private. There is a very real debate going on in Washington over whether RESTART shoud be made applicable to non-American owned resources. The issue isn’t so much national security as political common sense. If taxpayer money is to be used to create jobs and profits the legislators have learned, the hard way, that this is best done with domestic investments.
    My parents were raised in Canada, and I am a supporter of both Great Western Minerals Group and Avalon Rare Metals, both of which are listed and well along towards development. But national governments don’t like to invest in foreign resource development.

    “So, I challenge you all to post your numbers.”

    I assumed that my numbers were being called, CaliDoc, due to your rather endearing sentence. I didn’t think it was ‘about me’: I was curious why we haven’t heard about thorium seeing as it seems to be the most plausible answer to the Copenhagen question.

  83. California Doctor

    The distribution of electrical power to your home or business is ONLY due to your dependence on the local power utility company GENERATING the electricity.

    If you had purchased a framework to GENERATE the electricity yourself, you would not need to BUY THEIR power.

    You should be able to GENERATE YOUR own power and SELL your excess to others if you do not need it.

    The development of thorium reactors would make the NPT treaty obsolete for uranium, right? It would release Iran and other nations from the hegemony of the nuclear five.

  93. calif. doc, it is interesting seeing how the authorities are trying to yet again weasel out of lies they’ve told. Such as the geitner half truths about aig.

    When the authorities run out of excuses they use the national securtiy bull craap.

    i love this new angle they’re using with trying to keep the henchman bernake in charge by saying they’ll make the markets crash if the congress doesn’t keep bernake. Another threat to us. I think these banksters need some court dates.

  94. @CalDoc;
    The first person that went off topic was Gonzomarx, then DanValley, etc.

    What you call a red herring is an item of extreme interest to experts:

    “Anil Kakodkar, former chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, on Thursday said the development of thorium-based energy would be the next challenge before the country to meet its growing power requirement”

    You should not single out people for personal attack based on your own ill-informed ideas: it is not becoming for a medical professional to act is such a crass manner.

    @jon – I have ZERO confidence in the court system to carry out justice. The courts are so bought out that its really another political body. When local jurisdictions converted to elected bench positions, it permits certain corporations to fund certain judges.

    You can figure out the rest.

    Therefore, my view is that the “move your money’ group is right.

    We need to cash out and say adios to the banks we hate the most. Just don’t do business with Goldman Sachs at all. If the company you day trade goes through Goldman, you are fueling Goldman.

    If the insurance company goes through Goldman or AIG, then you’re fueling them with your premium.

    Decoupling is hard.

    Tired talking about geithner, he is toast, finished, history …

    Green energy sure sounds wonderful, I priced out 2 windmills and an array of solar panels with conversion assembly. the payback is greater than 8 hears. Not a good investment from my end. Green is not gonna fly for the masses, unless some new silicon conversion technology cuts the cash outlay by 50 to 60% imo.

  103. California Doctor

    @Jon-
    The bailout of AIG does look to have been required because AIG had their fingers in so many pies.

    The real question is why there is not a more formal indictment process being brought to bear by the Obama Administration on the individuals who abuse administrative privilege in these fashions.

    These same administrative abuses were present in Nazi Germany prior to the holocaust. Individuals who are long-winded in claiming “never again” should really be concerned.

    All Americans should be keeping a closer look on these issues because it is imperative that the US Constitution’s Bill of Rights be applied.

    The sitting supreme court is choosing to ignore habeas corpus in some instances right now.

    @JGIR -

    Thank you for posting your numbers.

    I had also priced out similar systems and noticed the same thing.

    I’d appreciate your thoughts on this analysis.

    When I looked at operational costs, the upfront cost of the system was the problem. The PV systems are too costly per KWH generated.

    The end result is that to break even the lifetime of the system must perform for 5-7 years without repair. This is achievable for solar thermal on water, but PV systems are subject to decay on performance based upon degradation of the panel efficiency.

    I reached the conclusion that the wind turbines were good to balance out the PV panel under performance during cloudy conditions. However, I could not locate a charge controller system which integrates PV and wind turbine variable direct current supply with grid AC.

    I am still searching and therefore post this comment in order to see if you can comment.

  110. Justget Itright

    Caldoc–i do recall that the turbines had the conversion designed within the assembly which could adapt straight into the electrical meter pan in a piggyback fashion via conduit run point to point. There are voltage drop considerations with the length of the run for turbines. The solar array conversion would have been installed adjacent to the electrical panel. I would have done 50% of the labor, but just to costly.

    Jan 1st we were handcuffed with a 30 to 40% electrical rate increase based on usage.

    @ jon –

    My guess is that that the board of the Fed Reserve has something up its sleeve.

    The question is what is up their sleeve and why are they so hell bent on this “pro-Bernanke” blitz in the last 48 hours.

    The banks clearly have major derivatives exposure on their ledgers. There are likely to be personal exposures through hedge fund “investment” dark pools that these Board members throw their money into.

    My guess is that a currency devaluation is feared by these people and hyperinflation also is feared.

    In the hyperinflationary situation, the currency is printed so fast that everyone gets out of debt quickly (as long as they are employed and their wages are allowed to escalate with the hyperinflation). When I reviewed Martin Armstrong’s discussion about Weimar Germany, Armstrong points out that people began bartering clothes, small bottles of alcohol, candy and other similar goods as currency.

    The Federal Reserve Board is making a threat about the valuation of the bank and the US Treasury is being held hostage.

    I think they’re saying to the Congress that if the Fed chair is not renewed, then the banks may not go along with the purchase of T-bills and T-bonds.

    The push back comes from the banks comprising the Board.

    In looking at the numbers, Wells Fargo is the least exposed of the big 5 banks. Therefore, it follows that it is the New York Federal Reserve Bank that is pushing Bernanke the most because JPMChase is the MOST exposed.

    If Bernanke is not put for vote and confirmed, Donald Kohn ends up the chairman.

    Does anyone know if Kohn has made any comments on QE as a policy?

    Those manuals used to be locatable using Google or yahoo. About ten years ago during the election of 2000 I was quite active on discussion boards and noted that teams of people were posting to certain discussion boards in early attempts to influence the election.

    When my friends and I began investigating the IP addresses of the parties involved through a technique which I will not post, we discovered that some of the messaging and monitoring were coming from locations which were where anonymous internet access could be obtained. Others were coming from inside technology firms which had a cause in the fight.

    Some of the guys identified that the postings were following well known propaganda techniques.

    Google “propaganda techniques” and you’ll see it.

    @JGIR-
    The upfront cost of installation and equipment for wind turbine and PV electrical generation will inflate higher as the dollars buys less.
    With energy costs moving higher over the next 20 years, finding a way to generate power with cost effective charge controllers is important.
    DC current to Li-Po battery systems seems like a potential solution. Li-Po costs are declining due to increased production for cars and computers.
    The issue is how do you load balance between the DC in and the need for 110 V AC in the house.
    I’m finding that the cost to retrofit the house might reach $20,000 in equipment and labor, but that cost might be smaller than the total costs of electricity for the next 20 years.

  119. California Doctor

    @jon-
    My prediction is that the US Senate does not have the guts to renominate Bernanke. The Senators will not bring it to vote because Harry Reid is in a shakey seat (he’s a democrat from Nevada) and Barbara Boxer has already said no to Bernanke (shakey seat in California).

    So, the political epitaphs are being written for the Democrat control in the house. A flip of 5 seats is enough to change the majority. Brown is a +1 for the GOP, but also a -1 for the Democrats. Boxer and Reid are similarly close. So, the Senate is up for grabs based upon Bernanke.

    1/3rd of the US Senate is up for election. My guess is that the GOP Senators are too partisan (i.e. won’t think for themselves) and will blindly support Bernanke because he was Bush’s appointee. The GOP Senators will argue that it was better under Bush. Bush is the bastard that started this financial calamity.

    Bernanke is politically fried. He should pack his bags for New York, because I’m sure he has a job lined up at some university or bank.

    The question to me is who is the replacement.

  120. cal doc, yep, you can go way back and see the bushes fingers in the pie. I still remember when the elder bush got to be reagans vice president. Right then and there I knew Reagan was just gonna be a front for the bush people.

    I don’t think it really matters who they get to replace bernake. They just need someone to not spill the beans and keep their mouth shut on all the corruption the fed has been doing the last century. My guess is the next person won’t talk alot.

    - The ugly dozen investment banks kept entirely whole on their empty CDS bets – akin to reimbursing the losers on the roulette table. Keep them happy at all cost?
    - Lame and tame political, media reaction to paying foreign banks in full for such pure casino gambling, eventually at the expense of the US taxpayer!
    - Only most trusted members of the most inner circle of the US Treasury-Fed-Financial complex involved in the rescue effort.
    - around the world, and specifically in Zurich, sizable office buildings, housing AIG related entities and nobody knows exactly what they are doing.

    Unusual coincidences? Not so, if this is the reason:

    AIG is/was the world wide offshore paymaster for the US intelligence agencies, the clandestine banker to the CIA & Co, to handle the myriads of financial transactions. AIG the secret G & A backbone of these US services. Without it, they cannot function. Hence the scramble to keep AIG from filing for ch 11 or similar open process… and at least some explanation for the relative resilience of the stock…

    Hey the whole wide world has been highjacked by these multinational globalists neo-con bastards. It’s not just the USA. It’s the hole freakin place. Rotten nazi globalists from the UN. Yeah all the shit is emanating from the UN, that criminal organization.

    In reality the UN is used as a front for multinationals to plunder and pillage. They want a world government based on the same model as China. You are warned. It has nothing to do with the American Dream of the 50′s, more with the chineese syndrome. They all dream of China in Europe and the USA.

    Financial TV (CNBC) in the USA is broadcasting the House hearing on AIG. Tim Geithner is giving his opening testimony. The vice-chair, California congressman Darrell Issa, gave a stinging opening statement which nearly, though not quite, accused Secretary Geithner of being party to the cover-up of the counterparty payoffs (buck for buck).

    The GOP’s Congressman Dan Burton cross examines Geithner. Burton is really doing more grandstanding than anything.
