"In politics, the "revolving door" is the movement of personnel between roles as legislators and regulators and the industries affected by the legislation and regulation.
In some cases the roles are performed in sequence but in certain circumstances may be performed at the same time. Political analysts claim that an unhealthy relationship can develop between the private sector and government, based on the granting of reciprocated privileges to the detriment of the nation and can lead to regulatory capture."
Overview The metaphor of a revolving door has been used to describe people switching jobs, from working as lawmakers, to being lobbyists, and vice versa.
Governments hire industry professionals for their private sector experience, their influence within corporations that the government is attempting to regulate or do business with, and in order to gain political support (donations and endorsements) from private firms.
Industry, in turn, hires people out of government positions to gain personal access to government officials, seek favorable legislation/regulation and government contracts in exchange for high-paying employment offers, and get inside information on what is going on in government.
The lobbying industry is especially affected by the revolving door concept, as the main asset for a lobbyist is contacts with and influence on government officials. This industrial climate is attractive for ex-government officials. It can also mean substantial monetary rewards for the lobbying firms and government projects and contracts in the hundreds of millions for those they represent.
Timothy (Rothschild Agent) Geithner heads to CFR.
Former Treasury secretary Timothy Geithner will join the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) as a distinguished fellow , the think tank has announced.
“Both at Treasury and at the New York Federal Reserve, Tim was a tireless, creative , and responsible custodian of the public trust. His coming to CFR only strengthens our capacity to produce thoughtful analysis of issues at the intersection of economic, political, and strategic developments,” said CFR President Richard N. Haass in a statement.
Geithner stepped down from the Obama administration Jan. 25. He previously served as president and chief executive officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2003 and 2009, worked at the International Monetary Fund. He was a CFR senior fellow in 2001, and also worked for Kissinger Associates, Inc.
Geithner begins his post later this month in CFR’s New York headquarters.
Virtually ALL of the Big Banks’ Profits Come from Taxpayer Bailouts and Subsidies
The Big Banks “Would Just About Break Even In the Absence of Corporate Welfare”
The top five banks — JPMorgan, Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc., Wells Fargo & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. – – account for $64 billion of the total subsidy, an amount roughly equal to their typical annual profits...
The money hasn’t just gone to the banks shareholders … It has also gone to line the pockets of bank management...
Economist Steve Keen says: “This is the biggest transfer of wealth in history”, as the giant banks have handed their toxic debts from fraudulent activities to the countries and their people.
June 4th, 1963, President John F. Kennedy wrote and signed Executive Order 11110 which ordered the US Treasury to issue a new public currency, the United States Note. Kennedy's United States Notes were not borrowed from the Federal Reserve with interest, but were created by the US Government and backed by silver held in reserves by the government.
$4,500,000,000 went into circulation, and five months later he was assassinated. The United States Notes were withdrawn from circulation.
Kennedy was the last President you had with the courage to take on the bankers.
I don't know. I doubt it. When I rant on about Bankers I'm primarily speaking of Central Bankers, those who create the credit for the country, for the government. They are privately owned, and charge interest which is never created in the first place, so how can it ever be repaid, other than by the forfeiture of all property to those private bankers? That is what is happening.
In view of the fact that money is only supposed to be a medium of exchange for goods and services, how is it that money has become the product? How can a country pay back to the central bank more than was ever created in the first place?
If you own a share of a commercial bank, which only distributes credit, not creates it, I wouldn't consider you a banker. However, commercial banks do operate using fractional reserve banking, which is also a scam.
Exodus 22:25 “If you lend money to any of my people with you who is poor, you shall not be like a moneylender to him, and you shall not exact interest from him."
Deuteronomy 23:19 “You shall not charge interest on loans to your brother, interest on money, interest on food, interest on anything that is lent for interest."
Proverbs 22:07 "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender."
"Your commentary is not without some merit, but it is entirely biased and rife with mythology."
It is obvious I'm biased. I think that goes without saying :-). I sincerely believe the entire Western banking system sucks, and until it is reformed and removed from the pirates who have hijacked it, nothing will change for the betterment of Humanity. If you choose to profit from it, and can sleep soundly, good for you.
"...rife with mythology".
Tell me which bits of my rants, (sorry, commentary} are more mythological than the mainstream understanding of how the Western Banking System works? I will give it my attention and possibly revise my beliefs.
I will tell you though that your Wikipedia link did teach me something. I don't source Wikipedia much, but as a result of investigating after reading that link, one of my childhood beliefs was smashed. I have been a 'Kennedy Camelot' myth believer, and now I'm not. Sad day.
What I chose to believe about Kennedy is echoed by the Christian Common-Law Institute, which led me to Freedom Force International, the web site of G. Edward Griffin, an American whose opinions I have always valued for consideration.
I learnt (learned) a number of things. Rich Loomis from CCLI speaks dishonourably. That Kennedy was a Fabian and a collectivist, and if G. Edward Griffin can not find facts to substantiate things, then it is not yet fact. Lesson learned and thank you for that.

Back to work slave, you have debt to pay. Of course, you can 'fix' it at the next election by voting in the Republicans again. Then if that doesn't work you could try the Democrats, and then the Republicans, or vote one of the parties in twice in a row, or the other one twice in a row, again, and then that might fix it. Probably.
March 2013 – Open Bank Resolution finance minister, Bill English, is proposing a Cyprus style solution for potential New Zealand bank failures. The reserve bank is in the final stages of establishing a rescue scheme which will put all bank depositors on the hook for bailing out their banks. Depositors will overnight have their savings shaved by the amount needed to keep distressed banks afloat.
Wait until your petro dollar 'collapses'. The IMF are desperately playing everyone off as the fiat money days come to their inevitable end. War is on the agenda.
James P. Tucker, Jr. (12/31/1934 – 4/26/2013), famed Bilderberg Hound, author of Jim Tucker’s Bilderberg Diary, passed away yesterday due to complications he suffered following a fall.
As Tucker summarized it—all quite correctly—time and again, over the years, “If a hundred of the world’s best known sports figures or film stars were gathered at some exclusive resort behind closed doors for a private meeting, the entirety of the mass media would be on hand, clamoring for admittance and demanding to know what was going on. But when the world’s richest bankers, media barons, industrialists, members of royalty, and political leaders were meeting secretly and discussing public policy matters that impacted on the course of the world’s affairs, the establishment press never said a word.”
Matt Taibbi: Everything Is Rigged "Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world’s largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything."
"The only reason this problem has not received the attention it deserves is because the scale of it is so enormous that ordinary people simply cannot see it. It’s not just stealing by reaching a hand into your pocket and taking out money, but stealing in which banks can hit a few keystrokes and magically make whatever’s in your pocket worth less. This is corruption at the molecular level of the economy, Space Age stealing – and it’s only just coming into view."

“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
Capitalism was hijacked by Corporatism long ago, but who cares about the semantics.
Central Banks (Privately owned) flooding the financial system with money:
Media Disinformation and the Conspiracy Panic Phenomenon
"Yet to suggest that the news and information Americans accept as sound and factual on a routine basis is in fact a central means for manipulating their worldviews is not a matter for debate. Rather, it is an empirically verifiable assertion substantiated in a century of public relations and psychological warfare research and practice. Such propaganda efforts once reserved for foreign locales are now freely practiced in the US to keep the population increasingly on edge."
"Despite (or perhaps because of) the immense technological sophistication at the dawn of the twenty-first century a majority of the population remains bound and shackled in the bowels of the cave, forever doomed to watch the shadows projected before them."
So, who is paying for these programmes, which don't exist? I guess we are. Just keep those printing presses at the Fed pumping out the IOU's, and keep your nose to the grindstone.
There's a storm coming alright. Keep shining light into the bowels of the cave Scott.
Sorry, not buying the Chemtrails. The weather patterns are normal for this time of year in that place, except that some Climate Change Global Cooling is pumping the cycle harder than normal this last century. ( severe weather is not a function of heat, but of differences in heat. Warm fronts are wet and mellow, cold fronts are harsh and active. )
Most of the above video is utterly bogus. Clouds do that, and always have. Air moves. Contrails bend.
I've studied weather macro and micro ( my specialty ) for, oh, crap, 30 plus years. You aren't a very good glider pilot unless you do, and being a tech buff, I wanted to know HOW the wings, controls and air movements worked.
I'm an aerodynamicist of the Tony Fokker School, who urged his engineers to "see the spray" and visualize the air flows. If you look at early pre & WW1 airplanes you can tell that not all designers were very good at it. Compare a Fokker Triplane ( Curse you Red Baron! ) to a modern Cessna, or the last commuter plane you rode on.
My high school wind tunnel has long since been recycled, and I haven't carved a propeller in a long time, but the text books are still on the shelf, and I'm seriously considering building a Trike Ultralight capable of flying out of my back yard. ( I just have to give up food for a few months to afford it, and that helps with wing design, since I'll be lighter.... )
The structure science of the 1900-20 era was pretty thin too, which is why you have biplanes, which use a truss type 3 dimensional structure that was well understood from bridge & building engineering while cantilever monoplanes without bracing wires, were slower and harder to develop. You might notice Boeing no longer makes Biplane Passenger, Bomber or Fighter planes.
The "chemtrails" look just the same to me as the contrails I've seen all my life, viewed in WW2 documentaries, and produced myself in the right conditions. ( Insert fart joke here, see fart thread )
I have a hard time believing that you have Tesla level geniuses in weather control, with Mann level con men in "climate science" with consistent wrong predictions, unless you want me to believe that the Global Climate Fraud people getting massively rich on and speeding the Totalitarian uber-state control of all our lives....... are actually a distraction from an even more sinister, secret plot to use Super Science to rule from behind the scenes like Dr. Evil. That's so crazy it might be true. Still crazy though.
On the New World Order....
You've pretty much, almost, got me buying into a vast global money rip off, but I suspect the obvious players are a distraction from the real bad guys, like George Soros and Goldman Sachs.
Don't buy the Zionist line either. Those involved that are of "jewish ethnicity" mostly seem to be tuned to leftist/neo-fascist/crony capitalism tactics.
It'd be a lot easier to buy if you told me Putin was in charge.
Thanks for the vids, some interesting stuff there. Some utterly paranoid ditz, too, but there sure "seem to be" a bunch of people smart & ruthless enough to make & stay rich on all our backs. And it looks like our current "leadership" are wholly owned minions.
"The "chemtrails" look just the same to me as the contrails I've seen all my life,..."
I became interested in "chemtrails" around 1997'ish. Perhaps you have too much time and study invested in your passion/s to be receptive to the idea of their existence. Nothing wrong with that.
They do, or they don't. What you or I believe will not change the fact or otherwise.
The taboo American Z word, and Putin. If you watch all of the Gladio B, 4 or 5 of them, with Corbett and Sibel Edmonds, you may well find that this is also a religious war, only let's not say so. Interesting connection also between high ranking US politicians and the territories of Dagestan and Chechnya on Russia's doorstep.
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Voltaire.
"And it looks like our current "leadership" are wholly owned minions."
I've seem persistent contrails, both in person, and in ww2 documentaries. Skeptical. That's me.
While I enjoy speculation about HARP, I just sat through a long winded rant from some lady going on about "sonic sculpting" of chem clouds, while the video was a repeating weather map. The pretty cloud formations she claimed were "sculpted" by a Russian Super Science Secret Facility looked like typical vortex shedding turbulence to me. Didn't catch a hint of Vrill energy.
The $5.7 Trillion heist, otoh, is Absolutely real.
Since, unlike Some things discussed here, the NSA really, actually, admittedly, does track every phone call. ( and, presumably, track every keystroke on the Web. Or at least knows every web page you open. )
