Treasury Officials Received Millions from Goldman Sachs

Disclosure forms, according to Bloomberg, reveal that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's closest aides received millions of dollars from Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other Wall Street firms.

The henchmen include Gene Sperling, who last year took in $887,727 from Goldman Sachs and $158,000 for speeches mostly to financial companies, including the firm run by accused Ponzi scheme mastermind R. Allen Stanford. Another top aide, Lee Sachs, reported more than $3 million in salary and partnership income from Mariner Investment Group, a New York hedge fund, reports Bloomberg.

In addition to working for Goldman Sachs, Sperling is on the staff of the Council on Foreign Relations, where he serves as Senior Fellow for Economic Policy and Director of the Center on Universal Education. He is also an economic adviser for Hillary Clinton.

Sperling worked in the Clinton administration as the President's National Economic Adviser and Director of the National Economic Council. He was tutored by bankster master criminals Larry Summers and Robert Rubin. Clinton called him "the MVP" of his Wall Street economic team.

Lee Sachs is described as Geithner’s “right-hand man handling the financial crisis.” He was on the board of directors of Bear Stearns. In 1998, he joined the Clinton administration in Rubin's Treasury as deputy assistant secretary for government financial policy. Less than a year after getting the post, Lawrence Summers replaced Rubin as secretary and Sachs got a promotion to assistant secretary for financial markets.

“As part of Geithner's kitchen cabinet, Sperling and Sachs wield influence behind the scenes at the Treasury Department, where they help oversee the $700 billion banking rescue and craft executive pay rules and the revamp of financial regulations,” Bloomberg continues. “Yet they haven't faced the public scrutiny given to Senate-confirmed appointees, nor are they compelled to testify in Congress to defend or explain the Treasury's policies.”

Goldman Sachs is at the very epicenter of the international bankster cartel on Wall Street along with Brown Brothers, Harriman, Lehman Brothers, Kuhn Loeb, Inc. J.P. Morgan, Chase and a handful of others. It is one of around a dozen or so global institutions that are allowed to purchase Bills, Bonds and Notes directly from the Treasury. It is among the top five investment banks in the world.

Goldman Sachs received billions of dollars -- to be paid off by future generations of Americans -- for its highly speculative credit default swaps. It was the largest single recipient of tax payer money in AIG bailout. The government had forked over $180 billion to AIG as of April of this year. The New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announced in March that he was investigating whether AIG’s trading counterparties improperly received government money.

The presence of Gene Sperling and Lee Sachs in the Treasury is to say the least a conflict of interest. But then Timothy Geithner is a former chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York and his predecessor, Hank Paulson, was the head of Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs, the Federal Reserve, and the Treasury are basically one in the same. In July, former Reagan Treasury official Paul Craig Roberts asked: “Does the US Secretary of the Treasury work for the people or does he work for the banking system on Wall Street?” to which he replied, “He works for Goldman Sachs.”

“This bankster firm controls the economic policy of the United States,” Roberts said elsewhere.

Matt Taibbi, in his article in Rolling Stone, described Goldman Sachs as “a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money.”

Goldman Sachs the vampire squid is not finished with the American people. It will soon profit from the emerging cap and trade scam cooked up by the globalists and banksters. Dianne Feinstein and Olympia Snow have introduced a bill to make the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) the sole regulator of the carbon market created by cap-and-trade legislation.

The current chairman of the CFTC is Gary Gensler, formerly of Goldman Sachs. Gensler had worked diligently with master criminal Alan Greenspan to protect credit default swaps from regulation. He also worked hard to deregulate electronic energy trading, allowing Enron to rip-off billions.

The mega-bankster crime syndicate is a part owner of the exchanges where carbon allowances would be traded. It has spent millions of dollars lobbying for cap-and-trade legislation in anticipation of making billions of dollars at the expense taxpayers and consumers.

The CFTC and the cap and trade scam will be the next derivatives bubble.

Goldman Sachs and its operatives in the Obama administration, the Treasury, and the Federal Reserve will be there to profit obscenely.

You’re here to pay them tribute on the road to the New Serfdom.

Please note: InformationLiberation is neither liberal or conservative. When one takes the time to research the "liberal elite," whom the conservatives oppose, and the "conservative elite," whom the liberals oppose, one finds both "elite" are one and the same. "Liberal" or "Conservative" is not a substantive choice, it is only the carefully crafted illusion of a choice, for both parties come together when they are instructed to.

"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson."
A letter written by FDR to Colonel House, November 21st, 1933

"Fifty men have run America, and that's a high figure."
Joseph Kennedy, father of JFK, in the July 26th, 1936 issue of The New York Times.

If you care to know who runs the world you live in, view these films. If you care not then I leave you with this quote to ponder:

"There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution."
