Was Treasury Secretary Arrested, Questioned & Released??

These stories have been  circulating  for  the  last 2  weeks.  I discounted the  information  as just  disinfo at  first.  However  it  has  gotten a  bit  more  interesting  With  emails  being  sent  to the Treasury Press Office.  The  secretary seems  to  have  asked  for links  to the  articles stating that  Geithner had  been  arrested.  According to the  source  at  the “Sinclair News”, they promptly  dispatched  the  links  to the  articles in  question.  It  seems  the  Secretary  was  very  quick  to  ask  for  substantiation , however  failed  to  be  forthcoming  with  a  statement  of her  own.  Now , how  hard  is  it  to  say ,  “this is  false”.  Now  it  stands  to  reason that   they  are  busy.  What  with the  economy in the condition  it is  in.  The  meetings  and  conferencing  over  QE3 and who  to loan  all that  freshly  printed  money at  a  ridiculously  low interest rate, must  be  exhausting.  However,  if  she  was  available  to  immediately  request proof  then I  believe  she   should have  also  been  able  to  provide  and  answer  to a  very  simple and  forthright  question.  It  seems  I  am  wrong  , however, in light of the  fact that she  did  not and so, now  we  wait.  Logic  would  dictate that  the  response  would  have  been  forthcoming.  Do  we  give  the  benefit  of  the  doubt?  Or do  we  simply  take  for  granted  all the  clandestine occurrences  that  have  been  the  norm and  assume that  the  reports  are indeed  true.  We  shall wait  and  see  In the  meantime enjoy the  videos.  🙂

This afternoon we received a phone call informing us that their were reports Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was arrested, questioned and released by New York Police February 24, 2012. The caller informed us that they were unable to find a single mention of the “reported” arrest on any of the mainstream media outlets websites. After performing a simple Google search we came across a number of “blog” reports claiming Secretary Geithner was arrested in New York, was questioned and then released. Rather than attempt to contact the individual blogs which made the claims, we contacted the Department of the Treasury Press Office.

http://www.lsnewsgroup.com/2012/02/27/was-treasury-secretary-arrested-questioned-released/

Breaking News: I was duped! I just discovered that the video that I watched watch?v=q5j6Yk0qAgQ was dated February 29, 2012, but it was actually made in January of 2010 and here it is watch?v=7EDQoY7snaU It is not my intention to spread rumors. I thought I had proof of the recent arrest and went with it. Everyone has to be careful in accepting anything as truth. With a news blackout by all the media and the ownership of the media in very few hands, all of us have to regard all news as propaganda, if it comes from major media sources and rumor, if it comes from alternate sources. I don’t want to be part of propaganda and so I don’t repeat the major media mind-control news and I don’t want to be part of any rumor mill, either. What I had in mind, was truth, the whole truth and nothing but truth. So, everything after this in this description, was written, before I was tipped off about the error. I will leave the video, for its comical value, to entertain those who find humor in satire…………………..
His arrest had nothing to do with the crimes he has committed as Treasury Secretary, but rather the crimes he may have committed, as New York Federal Reserve Bank President

Weekly Geopolitical News and Analysis20120305: The hunt is on, cabal arrests accelerating

The ongoing financial war is accelerating with arrests and assassinations being seen on both sides. George Bush Senior and Bill Gates were arrested last week for sabotaging the new financial system after being fingered by Timothy Geithner, pentagon sources say. The Federal Reserve Board crime syndicate cabalists for their part murdered Lord James Blackheath on February 29th, after he denounced their theft of $15 trillion in the British House of Lords. The White Dragon Society, meanwhile has put out an all points bulletin seeking the immediate arrest for questioning of former Hong Kong Police Chief Peter Stevens.

0
Stevens is wanted on charges of smuggling into Japan the nuclear weapon that was used for the 311, 2011 nuclear and tsunami attack against Japan. Stevens is currently located at the Puerto Galera yacht club in the Philippines.

The gnostic illuminati family and the hacker group anonymous have also agreed to join forces with the White Dragon Society with a program of attacks on Monsanto and other cabal strongholds. The Rockefellers, Krugers, Openheimers, Mellons, Warburgs, Rothschilds, Bushes, Morgans and other cabal families will be systematically hunted down and rounded up if they do not surrender within the month of March.

Where are all the CEO’s and Top Global Finance and Corporate Execs Going? So Many being Arrested, Fired, Retired and Resigning, Perhaps a coincidence , Perhaps not. Time will tell.

This is  for those  of  you  following  more than  just the  financial  trends and the  state  of the  economy.  Those  of  you   who  believe  there is  more  to it  all than  meets  the  eye.  For  those of  you  who  still  don’t  get it  , perhaps  seeing   the numbers  in   black  and  white will  make  you  wonder  and peak  your interest  enough  to  make  you  want  to  delve  deeper.  To try to understand  what is  not  made  readily  available unless  you  seek it out.  The truth of  Reality is not only  what you  make of it is what  you  do with it as  well ……….

Bank feud: Chairman Giles quits VNB with other directors
A feud over corporate governance compounded an already painful December for a major Central Virginia financial institution. Virginia National Bank has experienced a leadership shake-up that has seen nearly one third of the board of trustees quit including the chairman, Mark Giles.
“My resignation is effective immediately,” Giles tells President Glenn Rust in a December 19 letter that followed an apparently contentious meeting earlier that day. Neither Rust nor Giles, who spent nearly a decade as the Bank’s first president and who chaired the board since 2005, returned repeated telephone messages.
Two other board members, Ms. Claire Gargalli and Mr. Leslie Disharoon, also quit that same Monday in what the bank concedes was a disagreement over the composition of its board of directors. A fourth director on the 13-person board, Neal Kassell, resigned two days later for unstated reasons.”

Two Top Morgan Stanley Bankers Resign
http://www.stockbroker-fraud.com/lawyer-attorney-1133774.html
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Morgan Stanley’s (NYSE:MWD – news) two top investment bankers resigned on Wednesday, increasing the pressure on Chief Executive Philip Purcell and raising questions about whether the securities firm can remain independent.
The resignations are the biggest blow yet in a battle raging between Purcell and a group of eight former Morgan Stanley executives seeking to oust him.
Joseph Perella, Morgan’s investment banking chairman and company vice chairman and one of the best-known bankers on Wall Street, resigned after 12 years at the firm. Tarek “Terry” Abdel-Meguid, a long-time Perella deputy and the head of investment banking, also quit.
The firm quickly named new co-heads of its Investment Banking Division and said Perella and Meguid had agreed to stay on for an unspecified transition period.
“Morgan Stanley simply cannot be managed if this much turmoil exists within,” Punk, Ziegel & Co. analyst Dick Bove said. “And if it cannot be effectively managed, I don’t see how Purcell can stay at the top.”
Morgan Stanley’s board responded directly to the dissidents on Wednesday, criticizing their campaign and reaffirming its support for Purcell.
At least 10 traders and bankers have left the firm since Purcell shook up management in the securities business late last month. The departure of Perella is especially painful because of his stature on Wall Street and his recent support for Purcell.

Key Chavez Minister Resigns Amid Banking Corruption Fallout
http://www.laht.com/article.asp?CategoryId=10717&ArticleId=348565
CARACAS — President Hugo Chavez lost one of his closest and oldest collaborators as Science and Technology Minister Jesse Chacon submitted his resignation after his brother was arrested in connection with the crisis in which state control has been imposed on six banks.
Arne Chacon was arrested by the state security service, DISIP, after three more banks, Banco Real, Baninvest and Central, were “intervened” by the government, in addition to the four banks — Canarias, Banpro, Bolívar and Confederado — that were first taken over on November 20 on orders from Finance Minister Ali Rodriguez Araque. Two stockbroking houses have been raided by Disip and prosecutors since then, one of which is said also to have been put under direct state control.
Brought before a court, Chacon was ordered to be held in custody pending further investigation of his possible involvement in three banks, reports said. Chacon’s brother, the minister, said that when he’d heard the news “I called the president and told him that in these conditions I would prefer to resign so that there would be no doubt about our transparency in this investigation.”
