Hillary Clinton Seeks To Run World Bank
Update 2: State Department official says Clinton would not even take World Bank job if it was offered - CBS News
Update: NBC WIRE: From Philippe Reines, a Clinton spokeman: "It's 100% untrue, Reuters is wrong. That's on the record."
Phew, that was scary...
We are surprised that the "recidivist rapist" post-DSK PR backlash took so long. Yet it is now here. From Reuters:
- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been in discussions with the
White House about leaving her job next year to become head of the World
Bank, sources familiar with the discussions said Thursday.
Far more importantly, another rat leaves Obama's sinking ship. In the meantime, feminists everywhere rejoice, because, you know, Hillary, extremely experienced in economic, bankruptcy, and other financial issues is a woman. Next up: Oprah seeks to run the Bilderberg group, in order to give it a more "streamlined", humane appearance and Rachel Maddow in rumored to run the Trilateral Commission. Obviously, Erin Burnett is a shoo in for the CFR. And yes, the world has now officially gone crazy.
From Reuters:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been in discussions with the White House about leaving her job next year to become head of the World Bank, sources familiar with the discussions said Thursday.
The former first lady and onetime political rival to President Barack Obama quickly became one of the most influential members of his cabinet after she began her tenure at State in early 2009.
She has said publicly she did not plan to stay on at the State Department for more than four years. Associates say Clinton has expressed interest in having the World Bank job should the Bank's current president, Robert Zoellick, leave at the end of his term, in the middle of 2012.
"Hillary Clinton wants the job," said one source who knows the secretary well.
A second source also said Clinton wants the position.
A third source said Obama has already expressed support for the change in her role. It is unclear whether Obama has formally agreed to nominate her for the post, which would require approval by the 187 member countries of the World Bank.
The White House declined to comment.
A spokesman for Clinton, Philippe Reines, denied she wanted the job or had conversations with the White House about it.
Revelations of these discussions could hurt Clinton's efforts as America's top diplomat if she is seen as a lame duck in the job at a time of great foreign policy challenges for the Obama administration.
However, the timing of the discussions is not unusual given that the United States is considering whether to support another European as head of the World Bank's sister organization, the IMF.
The head of the IMF has always been a European and the World Bank presidency has always been held by an American.
That unwritten gentleman's agreement between

publicly supported the European candidate for the IMF, French Finance
Minister Christine Lagarde, although Washington's support is expected.
Clinton were to leave State, John Kerry, a close Obama ally who is
chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is among those who
could be considered as a possible replacement for her.

What are you a retard?
No he actually speaks rationally.
Enough of this wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Some people are more aware than others.
Bring it, bitch.
Thank God that was false! Saved me from a bout of rage, which is becoming more frequent unfortunately.
Points to another disturbing trends of the wires sending out false statements-- are they hacked? Feelers? Psyops? Or just plain getting sloppy because the news distorts rather than provide truth?
There are other ways rape the world for these ill-fated policymakers and it's about where they can do it with the most anonymity.
The wires only send what they are sent.
Psyops.
And really, world bank? I didn't ever want or ask for a world bank. Did you? Who the hell asked for selling our country out? This country is no different from any other piece of history in which a bunch of stupid fucks get too much power and money and ruin everything in the name of greed. My biggest hope is that it all implodes before we have to endure years upon years of insane bullshit.
Perhaps as a followup Bill will be named head of that Ministry of Truth he was promoting http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0511/54951.html
Update 3: Clinton staff says Hillary doesn't even know what the fuck the World Bank is. So she'll have to look into this directly. More later.
she will recall it as one of the places she wasn't shot at, at.
Hillary's star might be hitched to Jerome Corsi.
A general election with a cannoneer like “Where’s-the-Birth-Certificate” Corsi who is still hot on Obama’s trail - those certificate type face comparisons are popping up everywhere - is one the Obama forces thought they would avoid.
If that certificate is a forgery, this will be big - maybe big enough for the fat cats to find a GOP puppet who will carry their water this time.
Anybody who watched Hillary’s animal hunger and that of her supporters in the primary fight against Obama knows there’s only one job she and the other shes really want…Obama’s! But there isn’t enough time for a developing forgery scandal to force this switch, IMO.
A more likely scenario if the forgery issue grows is for the financial oligarchs to force Biden to Secretary of State to allow Hillary on the ticket as VP to give the banksters a little more hope for the future. So, if Obama has to bail out of his term early, they’ll have Hillary.
Jerome Corsi is a fucking neocon, war-hawk son-of-a-bitch.
I rank him right up there with Bill Kristol, Richard Perl, and Rush Limbaugh.

That depends on what the definition of "is"...is
flashback "deficits don't matter"
flashforward "we must cut spending! weiner! weiner! weiner!"
Now that's almost as funny as no QE3. Bill Gross, your mother should wash your mouth out with a bar of soap. Your surname is most fitting.
You forgot about Martha Stewart! She knows all about banking, finance and how to put some lipstick on the PIIGS!
Why be president, when you can run the world bank....I bet in the near future this story has more bite than bark. you know it is not like they have good track record of the truth, Little billy doing the thinking and Big H campain finance coruption. Only time will tell, for certian, I will never trust this family, the Clinton's.
Remember in '08 when Barama and Hillary were missing from the heated campaign scene for a whole day? hmmm Well, they were at the annual Bilderberg meeting where it was decided that Billary would step aside and let Barama have it.
Gee, they're holding annual Bilderburg meet now in St. Moritz (infowars) and Billary is somewhere in europe now. Wonder if Barama shows up on Saturday?
Another act of treason if Osama, I mean Obama shows up at St. Moritz per "The Logan Act".

Large US banks using QE2 money to short stocks. Only in America. God Bless America!!!
And using the proceeds to buy CDS against US sovereign.
What a waste....they shoulda spent it all on a weekend orgiastic blow out in Vegas.
double post
It’s become clear that more than 90 percent of all political and financial manipulation is to force taxpayer support of government…a government the manipulators use for their private purposes. At every turn the citizens need to provide more money to support the investment bankers, Wall Street, trans-national corporations, and socialism - or all their machinations would disappear. The media are all aboard for whatever it will take.
And Hillary Clinton is on board with the financial insiders from Goldman on down like no one has been on board before.
It’s important to recognize that of those 90 percent of financial and political manipulators 90 percent are incompetent and are vastly ignorant on economics. IOW, this economic ship is going down on ignorance and greed and there isn’t anyone – a president, a congress, or a financial class – that knows what to do to steer clear of disaster.
Will there be a disaster? Oh yes…to Michael Hudson in fact it will be nothing short of financial war - by those who have commandeered the ship.
His recent piece, Europe’s New Road to Serfdom: Trichet Threatens Greece with Iron Heel, lays bare the ECB’s plans to establish a dictatorship of Europe. Here’s an excerpt :
“At issue is whether Greece, Ireland, Spain, Portugal and the rest of Europe will roll back democratic reform and move toward financial oligarchy.
“The financial objective is to bypass parliament by demanding a 'consensus' to put foreign creditors first, above the economy at large. Parliaments are being asked to relinquish their policy-making power. The very definition of a 'free market' has now become centralized planning – in the hands of central bankers. This is the new road to serfdom that financialized 'free markets' are leading to: markets free for privatizers to charge monopoly prices for basic services 'free' of price regulation and anti-trust regulation, 'free' of limits on credit to protect debtors, and above all free of interference from elected parliaments. Prising natural monopolies in transportation, communications, lotteries and the land itself away from the public domain is called the alternative to serfdom, not the road to debt peonage and a financialized neofeudalism that looms as the new future reality. Such is the upside-down economic philosophy of our age…
“Finance is a form of warfare. Like military conquest, its aim is to gain control of land, public infrastructure, and to impose tribute. This involves dictating laws to its subjects, and concentrating social as well as economic planning in centralized hands. This is what now is being done by financial means, without the cost to the aggressor of fielding an army. But the economies under attack may be devastated as deeply by financial stringency as by military attack when it comes to demographic shrinkage, shortened life spans, emigration and capital flight.
“This attack is being mounted not by nation states as such, but by a cosmopolitan financial class…Like any monopoly or vested interest, the financial strategy seeks to block government power to regulate or tax it…”

TY for the "counterpunch" link. Very informative Hudson article on the Oligarchy.
“OMG, what next? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is aggressively pushing to become head of the World Bank! With predecessors such as war criminals Eugene Meyer, John J. McCloy, Robert McNamara, and Paul Wolfowitz, she will be in good company when the roll is called down yonder.” –Charles Burns, Hillary Clinton, World Bankster?, The LRC Blog
Hell, her bubby didn't need any experience in foreign affairs before becoming president. As Pat Buchanan said during the primaries, "The only foreign experience that Bill Clinton has is that one morning he ate breakfast at The International House of Pancakes!"
Besides that, Hillary became a huge success in cattle futures by just reading an article in the Wall Street Journal. Hell, if she has an ATM card she has experience enough to head the World Bank. Go thunder thighs!

Didn't his guy's wife work for Hillary?

I'm confident my countrymen will wake up!
Yeah, I couldn't believe that one either -- Hillary?? Bill is really taking it on the chin from this bitch for him to get her this gig. She must still have the goods on him from Vince Foster's safe.
Clinton's are well known to be deep into Chi-knees pockets (ok, everybody's pockets), so they could get even richer trying to make them whole on US holdings.
I thought Monica Lewinsky was going to earn her "Presidential Kneepads" with Fig Leaf Cluster ? Not with that sloppy blow job ! Maybe Bill farted from nervous excitement and they both started to laugh ? Monedas 2011 A fly on the walls of history !
Did Weiner do Hillary?
If her job is to schedule blowjobs for globalist misogynists, she's a perfect fit.
She can put phallic symbols on her WB Xmas tree. This is so Hilary. Running for POTUS is too small for her lust, she wants world president.
and bill wants to be first black dude of the world bank president.
Given her sexual inclinations, I doubt if the maids at hotels she stays at aren't any more safe with her than the last world bank president!
Strap-on attack? Forcing the maid to eat box? Or putting her mouth on said maid's box?
So, she's a shoe-in - fait accompli.
She does have a history of making some great insider, trades, I mean investments, and did a hell of job at that Rose law firm, so why not?
It takes a special type of scumbag to go through life wearing your hate for an entire race of people on your sleeve.
And nice to hide behind a screen name while calling others cowards.
Sorry "the jews" are responsible for ruining your pathetic life
and, BTW, congratulations dipshit, you take the loser of the day award!
Reuters is reporting that Anthony Weiner is expected to resign his post in exchange for being nominated as head of the Sperm Bank.
Hey Tyler.....where do you think I got sourced my user name from?
HRC just wants to be a "maid-man" like DSK.
This can only mean that the OGRE (Oligarchy of Global RulE) must now have such absolute control over everything, it doesn't matter who TITular Head of World Bank is.
Seriously though, Dear Leader H-RodHam-C is a genius (just ask her) and the most intelligent woman who ever lived (just ask Willy-Jeff). She should be nominated for the Nobel War-is-Peace Prize and retroactive it to her birth. Up with Dear Leader H-RodHam-C!
Is this the same HRC that has the standing record for repeating '...i mis-remembered' to a grand jury for a 1st lady. Now that is something to be proud of, just one of many laughable to-stupid-to-be-true the Clintons pulled while making a complete mockery of the White House and the entire political / legal process. One good thing...once she's in the world bank job, we can start hearing all the stories about her crazy family scurrying around the edges trying to scam money from people, God I miss all that shit.
About as believable as Tony Blair being president of Europe.
