NOTICE especially Geithner, chief of NY Fed, JUST ABOVE: the #1 banker for day-to-day bank operations in the US; this guy used to head IBM and he made deals with Beijing then. Geithner naturally attended Bilderberg June 2008 near D.C. along with many central bankers of the world, but as you can see from the article above, THE financial reordering/"bailout" plan began first in NY in May 2007!!."What Power Looks Like"
2008-04-14, Newsweek magazine article by Rothkopf Posted: 2008-05-08 [url=http://www.newsweek.com/id/130637]http://www.newsweek.com/id/130637[/url] excerpt: [In] speaking [with New York Federal Reserve Bank president [Timothy] Geithner while I was doing the research for my recently published book Superclass, he sketched in fascinating detail how the world's power elite rallies when the markets quake. Recalling an earlier crisis in global securities markets that he helped to manage, Geithner said the Fed brought together the leaders of the world's 14 major financial firms, from five countries, representing 95 percent of all the activity in global markets. The Swiss were there, the Germans were there, the British were there. Goldman Sachs chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfein "jokingly called them 'the 14 families,' like in 'The Godfather'," says Geithner. "And we said to them, 'You guys have got to fix this problem. Tell us how you are going to fix it and we will work out some basic regime.' You ... need a critical mass of the right players. It is a much more concentrated world." Geithner's description of the financial elite in crisis mode came many months before the recent meltdown of Bear Stearns, yet foreshadowed [it] in an uncanny way. The people ... described by Geithner, plus a few thousand more like them, not only in business and finance, but also politics, the arts, the nonprofit world and other realms, are part of a new global elite that has emerged over the past several decades. I call it the "superclass." They have vastly more power than any other group on the planet. Each of the members is set apart by his ability to regularly influence the lives of millions of people in multiple countries worldwide. Each actively exercises this power, and often amplifies it through the development of relationships with other superclass members. .............................................
