Video: Tim Geithner Ambushed By Anti-Bailout Activists

Take a few minutes to watch all of these.  They run 30 seconds each.  The Geithner clip is at the bottom.

All are winning submissions for a national anti-bailout video contest conducted in late 2009.  They are either really, really funny or just sickly depressing, depending where you find yourself on the moral hazard insanity spectrum.

This 8 year-old girl knows the various bailout programs better than Bernanke.

This is the original that started the contest.  These guys attempt to deliver hundred-billion-dollar checks to AIG and Citi corporate offices on behalf of taxpayers.  Well played.  They sneak into Senator Olympia Snowe's offices and request her signature on a billion-dollar check.  Hilarious bastards.  And that's just the start, then they deliver invoices for $26k to unsuspecting taxpayers, Publisher's Clearinghouse style.

• Watch this one all the way to the end when they ambush Geithner and throw cash at him as he walks by with Treasury bodyguards.

Update:  I just noticed something I hadn't seen before when I first posted this in 2009, because no one had heard of him at that point...look at the last video...The taller guy with the beige overcoat has to be early james o'keefe, who later became famous for the acorn videos...maybe i'm wrong but it looks an awful lot like him...if so, my opinion just changed of the clip...granted, acorn is useless and even harmful to a certain degree, but o'keefe is a potentially racist, trollish malcontent who gives the now-defunct Right.Org a bad name.

In the early 1960s, America's top military leaders reportedly drafted plans to kill innocent people and commit acts of terrorism in U.S. cities to create public support for a war against Cuba.

Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities.

If you wonder why Congress voted for the very unpopular bankster bailout right before the 2008 election and then were re-elected anyway, see Why Does the Government Ignore Our Wishes? at http://ning.it/arAjdo and don’t miss my short speech at http://markadams.blip.tv/file/2636803/

If you take a look, you’ll learn why those in government and those who can illegally influence them get away with violating our rights, abusing their power, and committing horrible crimes. My article on torture includes a link to the U.S. Supreme Court case which explains how one of our stolen rights makes the difference between justice and injustice, between freedom and slavery.
