Geithner Out Before End Of January

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/03/2013 13:43 -0400

We are sad to bring you the tragic news that Tim "TuboTax" Geithner, who has long made clear his plans to leave some time in early 2012, will be out before March, and in fact before the end of January as it turns out. From Bloomberg:

GEITHNER SAID TO PLAN DEPARTURE BEFORE DEBT CEILING RECKONING

We are also confident readers will somehow be able to overcome the unprecedented sadness at this particular rat's departure from the Titanic, metaphorically speaking of course.

And while Timmy's replacement (assuming it is of the Homo Sapiens genus and species) is still unknown, we know what some of the prospects think about serving the public:

American Express Kenneth Chenault had been approached for job, has indicated he isn’t interested

Administration officials had approached American Express Co. Chief Executive Officer Kenneth Chenault about joining Obama’s second-term cabinet, possibly as Treasury secretary. Chenault isn’t interested in leaving his private sector job, according to a spokesman.

A raise would really piss off this citizen

I'm guessing you're not going to be very happy, because he's in line for a serious promotion. The only question... public (IMF) or private (Kissinger).

I'd like to see him as the new head of the Libyan Central Bank. You know, where the action is.

At least he got his last important task accomplished..

Most of the derivatives market (fx) is exempted from pesky regulation now.

Greenspan and Geithner, the two US citizens who hold Special Privileges within the sovereign state of the Bank For International Settlements, Basel, Switzerland. They are protected from ALL prosecution in the discharge of their duties, save flagrant criminal activity, both for during and after holding position of CPSS Chairman (for Geithner) and Fed Chairman (for Greenspan) at/for the behest of the BIS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0r3-MNonZ64

I bet less than 1 in 100,000 Americans know that [vital] snippet of information.

Exactly who did Greenspan, and who does Geithner work for….no-no, their REAL boss, not who pays them their pocket money. I bet only a few of you really know!

Question: why would Greenspan be given Special Privileges in being protected from ALL prosecution in the discharge of their duties if he was Fed Chairman, not BIS Chairman?

Answer: because the Fed answers to the BIS, all the Central Banks answer to the BIS...it's the Global Central banking hub. The BIS is the financial arm, just like the UN is the physical arm and the IMF are the debt collecting arm of the multi-banking dynasties. The US is actually the War arm (seriously, the US does all the dirty work when and where it is needed. America lost its sovereignty years ago, they’re just going to war on the US citizen now simply because the US citizen is sick of America being at war all the time…it’s taken 60 years tho, not bad!).

The BIS was put together after WWI with the charter to coordinate war reparations, but its real purpose was to connect and control all the globally fragmented banking centres...like the internet has a physical backbone, the BIS became the physical backbone of banking and finance. This is why war reparations became a money shuffling exercise, as there was no need for war reparations is the one system effectively spans all (like if a company buys out a dealer it effectively rights-off any debts outstanding).

Now Geithner is jumping ship. He is no longer useful because the Chinese will not speak to him so he has served his purpose but will resurface elsewhere where they need his pulling power.

I think it pays to question exactly why do these people linger-on long after leaving office...why do they?

Simple, it's because when they leave they add another onion layer between the sheeple and the core elite. A trusted layer which is both experienced and proven trustworthy.

So, if you look at Agenda 21 (Sustainable Development) for what it really is, it's merely a Post War plan for what/who remains......"Post War" you're thinking?! Yes, a war on the US lower, middle AND upper class.

Timmy ain't jumpin ship. He's moving over to take Bernanke's chair.

Thu, 01/03/2013 - 17:58 | 3120147 TwoShortPlanks

Well it makes sense since the Fed now centrally controls markets, finances US debt, bails out banks.....controls standards of living!

Financial slime ball. They're a dime a dozen, these days. Pun intended.

Not sure where everyone is getting their information. I heard TG was throwing himself into Charitable Causes as next CEO of JPM.
God bless him!

Gerard goes russkie and the crypto-jew resigns from the Fed, only to be replaced by Jacob Lew, who is not very crypto. I'm going golfing in hawaii for the 5th time in a week, see ya.

Nah, Bernuie Maddoff would be much better.

Will Timmy be going directly to hell,or a pitstop for filthy lure first ?

Well, look at what Hillary is going through, all to avoid testifying under oath.

Gotta survive to thrive!

Thu, 01/03/2013 - 21:04 | 3120680 Fish Gone Bad

A long time ago, I did not like Hillary. I think it was about that crap she did with healthcare and did not involve any medical professionals. But then she stood by Bill with all his problems (I think they even portrayed her as a lesbian to explain why Bill was fucking the help). Then she became a senator, and then she took the nastiest, hardest, most thankless job in the world, secretary of state. Peoples' deeds speak louder than words. She has certainly taken "one for the team" a few times. I honestly doubt she could fake a subdural hematoma. I honestly do not like many people (other than Dick Cheney), but she has earned my respect.

just such a pathetic excuse for a human being this Geithner. Stupid, ugly and a smart ass. Would love to see him get the shit beat out of him

It's Jacob Lew, and has been for over a year now.

Geithner's dad and Obama's supposed mom worked at the Ford Foundation aka a more liberal front for CIA operatives.

Geithner and his British counterpart have completed their work. They can now go and retire to a life of luxury while the rest of the world burns.

Thu, 01/03/2013 - 20:42 | 3120595 Buck Johnson

Exactly, he knows what is coming and wants out. Even the people they are approaching don't want the job, because the numbers don't work. You can't keep printing money and monetizing your debt forever, it doesn't work. Sooner or later the US will have to have severe austerity and it will be very bad and last a very long time.
