saying that metadata info is stored for only a limited time. He does allude to a slippery slope and I agree. Good interview though.

Obama Nominates Carlyle Group Partner to The Federal Reserve Board of Governors

While on vacation in Hawaii, Obama tapped Jerome Powell to serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Powel served as the undersecretary for finance under the president George H. W. Bush and was a partner of The Carlyle Group. The Carlyle Group is a massive private equity firm and one of the largest defense contractors in the world.

They’re made up of some of the most influential policymakers over the last five administrations including both Bush presidents, former Secretary of State James Baker III, former Secretary of Defense Frank Carlucci, former Clinton Chief of Staff Mack McLarty, and former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt to name a few.

Other notable investors in The Carlyle Group include the bin Laden family and the Saudi Royal Family. Coincidentally, George H. W. Bush was meeting at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Washington on the morning of September 11th with one of Osama Bin Laden’s brothers.

His words are poison! They will deceive you! Listen instead to the way he is portrayed by others! Judge him by his measly political contribution, judge him by his employer! Anything, but

DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM SPEAK!!!

The house of cards is crumbling, one at a time, thanks to brave souls. I hope for hundreds more. We need real transparency, not propaganda.
