BTW, there’sa a very good chance that the 10 spies were hustled out of the country so fast in order to keep people from searching the CV of the high level contact that the spies admitted to, one Leon Fuerth.

Also on the CFR and iirc the Trilateral commish: Richard Fuld (along with many others, of course). Fuld led LEH into the “surprise” bankruptcy that almost to an analyst is pinpointed as the unneccesary and set-up shock that set off the global panic –which led to TARP under Bush’s waning days. So Obama nevber had to ‘do it first’ on the TBTF bailouts –which i believe, of course, were meant to destroy the free market (and may yet).

Note that CNBC, a GE unit (GE is heavily invested in cap and trade passing and making a market thru regulations for GE’s green machine inventory) and part of the media syndicate operating to pass Obama’s agenda, felt the need to produce and air one of the singularly dullest hours of TV ever, “The Last Days of Lehman Brothers” (or somesuch), a few weeks ago.

The show (i watched it) seemed to break some basic drama rules by keeping the actor playing Fuld in close-up about half the film, showing him sweating and grieving and looking desperate, showing how ‘surprised’ and ‘shocked’ he was that he wasn’t going to get the bailout that the previous several big houses had. It looked to me, for all the world, like somebody had told CNBC to produce the show, and that it was important that Fuld be presented as ‘extra extra’ upset and surprised that LEH was going belly up, and as a result of Hank Paulsen’s sober protection of the American taxpayer, and that this presentation of Fuld needed to be dramatized for the CNBC audience. take a look at it, if it’s available and you’re interested in this comedy of murderous genius clowns.

and, sweet memories –especially John M Deutch and Marc Rich, also close to Fuerth at least insofar as Gore’s staff and Clinton’s knew what each other were doing.
