Geithner Out Before End Of January
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 great loss.
He wants to get out now because he knows what's coming. Maybe he's not at stupid as I think he is and I really do think he is very stupid.
MF global Corzine should step in, he knows how to run ponzies.
Whats better then a turbo tax cheat? A Ponzi schemer, duh
I await news of his arrest
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.
Hank Paulson II, next clown.
Shit, why not ust bring in Draghi and get this whole shitstorm over with in one great big beautiful financial nuclear holocaust
instead it's just death by a thousand cuts
hey! every people gets the politicians and central bankers it deserves
you keep Bernanke and we keep Draghi
you keep the FED, we keep the ECB
you keep King Dollar, we keep Princess Euro
you keep one prez and two houses
we keep our half dozen kings, dozen presidents, 27 prime ministers, some 45 houses, one eu commissioner per country and Gollum
don't be greedy, America
next you'll be asking for our DSK and Berlusconi to liven up your love life
I know you actually want some Royals, too. well, we can't spare them, ok?
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.
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.
JANUARY 2009: "Bring out the gimp!"
JANUARY 2013: "Put the gimp in its box."
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.
You lucky dog.
Actually that was a joke about our fearless leader, but my wood stove is getting warmed up as we speak. :)
I would suggest " War and Peace "while you await his arrest .
Free Madoff!
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!
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.
FGB
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
THE RAT IS DEATH!!!
LONG LIVE THE NEW RAT!!!
Wondering which Goldmanite will take his spot.
It's Jacob Lew, and has been for over a year now.
Jacob Jew?
I think he means Jacob Lew.
asshater I’d kick his ass.
He's always reminds me of a grown up Eddie Haskell.
Geithner's dad and Obama's supposed mom worked at the Ford Foundation aka a more liberal front for CIA operatives.
New orders are up for Fudge Stripes and he is desperately needed back at the tree.
pods
Now that is freaking hilarious. :)
Plus 100 if possible.
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.
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.
next stop, goldman payroll (officially)
But Lew that scumbag is the likely replacement. :(
Jacob "Jack" Lew. The consumate Washington bureaucrat. Did a stint at Citi as a payoff for all of his years of "public service".
Sometimes the whore you know is better than the whore you don't know.
Public service..right. I have their honorary public service award right here..
Fucking vultures.
One man's departure from the Titanic is another man's voting with their feet.
I find it interesting how many indicators there are that something really big is supposed to hit in March.
It's those damn ides!
Et tu, Timmy?
Hmmm ... The Ides of March eh ?
the real sad news is the next guy will be worse......
Probably only an order of magnitude worse, give or take.
Right. 2nd term is typically "2nd string". If Geithner was the best they had to run, I can't even imagine how bad the next guy will be.
Yeah, needs extra time to work on his taxes.....
Another will just float to the top.
<please not Krugman, please not Krugman>
I want Krugman. Let's burn this mother down, I can't stand the waiting.
http://youtu.be/A_sY2rjxq6M
Krugman would help the whole thing to collapse faster. Why linger?
See if Bill Clinton will take up the mantle. Happy times can be here again.
I'l go page him...
turds don't float
Please let the door flatten your ass on the way out..
time to put another goldman in there..
Throw him, Bernanke, and Obama in jail for letting our country come to this sad reality.
Excellent William!
DavidC
Hahahahahaha!!
IT'S A CLASSIC TURNED BETTER!!
Great work man!
http://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/adbe
I'm not sure this fair to Butthead
Did POTUS donate his ears to the goldman charity, or what?
Captain Edward Smith he ain't!
more like Capt Schettino !
Lets not get too excited. Geithner is a regular at the CFR so he will still be pulling strings, or getting his strings pulled.
He needs time to learn the new Turbo Tax program.
Damn, you beat me to it.
LOL
Great minds think alike. Some (however) are faster than others. :>)
thank you for pointing it out ... it put me in my place.
i did not think it, but when i read it, i thought i could have thought it as well :-)
now my question is at what scale shuld my mind be ... of course it is a guess, but under normal circumstances... all things considered...
CD - Happy new year 2013!
I plan on staying drunk the entire time.
Wake me (or exhume me) in 2014. :>)
As per his MOU with Blackrock, he must depart the Treasury b/f March 1, 2013.......duh.
The "RAT" isn't leaving the Titanic... He's just moving to the "wheelhouse" of the S.S. Titanic, with his bankster boat captain pals.
He will re-appear. They always do. Maybe he will come back as “The Anti-Christ”.
He's not nearly smart enough.
So sayeth the shephard, so sayeth the flock!
The tax code is the anti-christ. It has to be everything Christ was not. Timmay is not smart enough to run with the "elite" so they put him where he belongs. Haphazzard, in your face, incompetent adminitration of their rusty spoon. He also moon lights on southpark with his band "lords of the underworld"
Good Riddance
Only thing that would make me happy is his obituary. Hopefully a painful terrible death after being ass raped by 6'5" guy with a 12 inch schlong
Sorry, Michelle is very busy at the moment ...
Bust a deal, face the wheel GULAG!
and now it is 8 against Boner 17 needed
GUY just voteD for David WALKER
Farewell Ode to Tiny Timmah (Tiny Dancer)
Blue skies, Bennay
Debt pimp, Timmay
Schem-sters for the man.
Prices high,
Debt to the sky,
To print is the ponzi plan.
Larry Summers,
massage the numbers,
marking market to a sham.
Now it hits me,
the fraud economy,
toilet paper in my hand...
Barry freaks, out in the streets,
Another ticket sent by God,
No turning back, we just laugh
The price for Ipad's not that bad.
Awoken man, he makes a stand
In an internet forum
Speaking on, right and wrong
The story's old news for some
But oh how I feel so blue
Lying here, in IOU's
Cursing you, but you can't hear me
When I say slowly, but LOUDLY
F' me harder, tiny Tim-mah
Countless hedge-funds hit the highway
Wash the world in worthless pap-ah
Another busy day, today...
Bravo my friend
LOL! It is a shame Krugman is not in this tune. He is another evil f***tard.
>>>>Corzine
>>>>Krugman
Glad to be rid of this lying useless crook.
Too bad that's not what's happening.
The ship's not sinking, I'm just going for a swim.
The first time this guys absentmindedly speaks a truth in a private setting is going to be an utter catharsis.
Can you imagine the emotional wreckage?
That, my dear ZHers, was a trick question. Psychopaths have no emotions!!
Countdown to Geithner's consulting contract with Goldman Sachs, 4, 3, 2, 1...
Too obvious. Besides, he's one of the biggest financial WMDs in the world today. I'm thinking he's gonna get to blow up the whole world now.
It will be interesting to see where he lands.
Kim Jong Il gone, and now soon to be Tim.
The great funny people of our time are vanishing.
Where have all the flowers gone?
Need another tax cheat treasurer.
I am sitting here in the dark with a bottle of vodka... sobbing softly.
Oh Timmy! You little tax cheating Fed enabling gnome! What shall we become without your infinite wisdom in our times of distress?
Why Timmy? Why?
Time for more Quotes For Times of Financial Instability:
“Bankers: Pillars of society who are going to hell if there is a God and He has been accurately quoted.” - John Ralston Saul
“The tendency to occultism is a symptom of regression in consciousness. The veiled tendency of society towards disaster lulls its victims in a false revelation, with a hallucinated phenomenon. In vain they hope in its fragmented blatancy to look their total doom in the eye and withstand it. The offal of the phenomenal world becomes, to sick consciousness, the mundus intelligibilis.” - Theodor Adorno, Minima Moralia: Reflections From Damaged Life
“Tribe follows tribe, and nation follows nation, like the waves of the sea. It is the order of nature, and regret is useless. Your time of decay may be distant, but it will surely come, for even the White Man whose God walked and talked with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We will see.” – Chief Seattle
"If you have to go to jail, go ahead and go, for you will not be alone." -Reverend Bernice King
“The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.”— Cicero
"It's wise to be a nonperson, as far as the State is concerned, as far as possible" ~ Doug Casey
“People in a hurry cannot feel.” – Alan Watts
"Our era has become one of spectacular polarization, with folly multiplying on every hand. That is the way empires crumble: they are taken over by looter elites, who sooner or later cause collapse. But then new games become possible… There is beauty in weathered and unpainted wood, in orchards overgrown, even in abandoned cars being incorporated into the earth. Let us learn, like the Forest Service sometimes does, to put unwise or unneeded roads 'to bed,' help a little in the healing of the natural contours, the re-vegetation by native plants. Let us embrace decay, for it is the source of all new life and growth." - Ernest Callenbach
“We talk of the Turks and abhor the cannibals; but may not some of them go to heaven before some of us? We may have civilized bodies and yet barbarous souls. We are blind to the real sights of this world; deaf to its voices; and dead to its death.” - Herman Melville
"Hell is truth seen too late." – Thomas Hobbes
“The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed… If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government. - Alexander Hamilton
"The cost of maintaining the pretense is straightforward: continued deterioration in the moribund status quo; more and more people, young and old, left behind; entire communities in distress; places destroyed by natural disasters abandoned rather than rebuilt; more and more people going after fewer and fewer resources that are still being made available to those in need. It is a rolling collapse affecting one person, one family, one community at a time. It’s what we have been seeing since 2008, and there is no reason to think that this will not continue for a while yet." – Dimitry Orlov

Just posting this here because it's the latest.
Midday Fast Ninnies SCREAMING "Gold Versus Stocks" propaganda today, even though everyone knows it's the silliest of canards and 100 percent INaccurate.
When they do this very loudly, it means one thing and one thing only: One of Their Own - let's hope Princess Dennis - is in horrible trouble with a Gold Short position again.
The miserable little curs are completely transparent, to the point they'd be much better off just keeping quiet. Heavy-handed propaganda like this has the opposite effect from what one would like it to have.
.... GLD and SPY have moved in tandem more or less in the new normal post crash rigged market. Put up a four or five year weekly of the two....even the Princess can't deny that.
Meh. Gold and stocks are rising for the same reason. Money printing. I think they are getting upset at the fact that stocks never rise unless gold lets them rise with it. They want the economy to be doing great. But it sucks. Deep down inside they know, as I know, stocks only rise because of the easy money. And secretly they fear every whack on gold is going to nuke them again.

Surely the gate is wide open for a US debt downgrade.
Someone needs to load this thing with a couple "Hellfire Missiles", and fly it over the N.Y. Fed.

Even if they didn't replace him it would be no big loss. Plenty of tax cheats to act as a placeholder.

The dump I took at lunch just notified me that it will be regaining the crown of "Total piece of shit" now that Geither is stepping down.
What happened to our civilization? I feel like I am living in medieval times in a kingdom with a retarded king who is managed by evil money-lenders and the populace is illiterate and timid.

Anyone who replaces "Turbo Timmah" is sure to be even more a titsucker at the breast of the Fed Res.

Good riddance to an incompetent, corrupt queer. Obunga seems to seek out the worst of the worst... here comes Jamie (Douchebag) Dimon, crime syndicate boss. the smell still has not cleared from the Kerry nomination... Obama loves traitors and cowards.

Jamie Dimon will take care of everything.
Apparently, Tim needs to be gone when blame time comes. Question is, blame for what?
What's going to happen between now and bye bye Tim time...
There has to be an economic collapse so they can confiscate our "assault weapons."
Timmah will be in Tahiti with a sack of gold.
He and Berskank will be depitced in history as the worst thing that ever happened to the American people. They both should be put on trial for treason!
