The Golden Parachute Keeps Opening…

Nobody Knows

—That this was an email that I found very disturbing, so I’m not waiting till the weekend to post it. Besides, not too many people know exactly what happened to the men who ran Freddie and Fannie.

 ********

Where are they now? The three who bought down Wall Street– Here’s a quick look into the three former Fannie Mae executives who brought down Wall Street.

Franklin Raines was a Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at Fannie Mae. Raines was forced to retire from his position with Fannie Mae when auditing discovered severe irregularities in Fannie Mae’s accounting activities. Raines left with a “golden parachute” valued at $240 million in benefits. The Government filed suit against Raines when the depth of the accounting scandal became clear.

Tim Howardwas the Chief Financial Officer of Fannie Mae. Howard was a strong internal proponent of using accounting strategies that would ensure a “stable pattern of earnings” at Fannie. Investigations by federal regulators and the company’s board of directors since concluded that management did manipulate 1998 earnings to trigger bonuses.

Raines and Howard resigned under pressure in late 2004. Howard’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $20 Million!

Jim Johnson, was a former executive at Lehman Brothers and who was later forced from his position as Fannie Mae CEO. Investigators found that Fannie Mae had hidden a substantial amount of Johnson’s 1998 compensation from the public, reporting that it was between $6 million and $7 million, when it fact it was $21 million.” Johnson is currently under investigation for taking illegal loans from Countrywide while serving as CEO of Fannie Mae. Johnson’s Golden Parachute was estimated at $28 Million.

Where Are They Now?

Franklin Raines?

Raines works for the Obama Campaign as his Chief Economic Advisor.

Tim Howard?

Howard is a Chief Economic Advisor to Obama under Franklin Raines.  

Jim Johnson?

Johnson was hired as a Senior Obama Finance Advisor and was selected to run Obama’s Vice Presidential Committee.

Kinda makes ou feel sick to your stomach. Our government seems to be rotten to the core: or as the great general would say: “I small a RAT!” Vote in 2012. It is the most important election of our time.

Nobody Notes: The black man’s golden parachute was a LOT bigger than the white men’s.

Manipulating the Masses

Nobody Flashes

If you watch this video, you will learn all you need to know about how the masses are manipulated to pick the very candidate that the Democrats want to run against Obama. OR…you will learn how the masses are manipulated into picking the man who the “elites” who run the networks, and the banks, and our politicians, WANT you to pick.

John McCain in 2008, was the big bogeyman, because it was said, he would get some moderate votes. It didn’t happen.

Mitt Romney, who everyone has said, will win tonight’s New Hampshire contest…is the new bogeyman that Obama is scared of. The psychology being that a conservative will vote for whomever he thinks the liberals are scared of.

Either way, more video’s like this should be made and shown to the public, to help teach them just how often they are manipulated.
