The Stench of Truth 232 I want an investigation into Goldman Sachs and a renewed call to remove Geithner and prevention of Storch from taking the position at the SEC, in enforcement no less! Text of letter to congressman/senator follows:
October 16, 2009

Dear Senator Specter:

I was dumbfounded to see in the news today that a Goldman Sachs executive, Adam Storch (VP of Goldman Sachs Business Intelligence Group) was named by the SEC as the Chief Operating Officer for enforcement.
This is a complete TRAVESTY. Is it not bad enough that former Goldman Sachs employees have been so firmly entrenched in the Obama administration that there is no difference between government economic policy and Goldman Sachs policy?
Here is a list of people with ties to Goldman Sachs:

Stephen Friedman

Tim Geithner
Current Treasury Secretary

I demand a Senate investigation into Goldman Sachs and the penetration of the Treasury department and the Federal Reserve by this private entity. Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs number one competitor was allowed to collapse in the banking failures even when GS reaped a government bailout at my and other taxpayers expense.
I demand that action be taken to prevent Adam Storch from taking the position as COO of enforcement at the SEC, and to systematically remove Goldman Sachs connected people from positions in the government that compromise the integrity of the job as well as give unfair advantage to a private company.
It has been shown that Timothy Geithners spent more time in communication with the head of Goldman Sachs than he did any other person including Congresspersons while ostensibly doing his job of managing the economy of the US. During this same period it has been shown that Goldman Sachs and officials affiliated with the firm have profited handsomely in markets which have not been as good to other banks and financial institutions.
It is time to pry Goldman Sachs influence out of US economic policy. Investigate Goldman Sachs. Prevent Adam Storch from taking the post as COO of enforcement at the SEC and take action to REMOVE Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary because his actions in that position have the appearance of corruption and conflict of interest.

  • Did you know that George Soros is a partner in Goldman Sachs and owns 40 percent of the stock.

  • @CalifSunshine2008 Didn't know but I am not surprised he is a king of the capitalists.

  • Props from Toronto, dude!...while we're at it let's get these GS alumni out of the Bank of Canada too!

  • I'm all for it. Take some action and get your friends involved.

  • oh, dude i had to subscribe. Zerohedge reader here. The linked you. Am grateful. Now what do we do? Cause the law is not on our side. Good ending. The squid has tentacles all over. They run the country! Which is why i say ? Now what? Armed rebellion will be countered by better arms.

    Ignore the beast, do not trade with the beast

    take your money out the bank and wait...

    for the beast to die within.6-12 months?

  • Well those are starters. It would also be helpful to agitate for the removal of all the "former" Goldman and Wall Street bankers from positions of authority in the administration.

  • Adam Storch is a scumbag, I know from personal experience. This little worm is sure working his way up the ladder of the inside asshole of american rich and influential. Does it ever end?

  • I want to get every phone number of every single Fuckman Ballsacks executive so I can call them multiple times every day and remind them how I feel about their business practices.

  • Let's pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and pester them and when they block us, let's use other profiles to keep pestering them.

  • I'd be willing to bet that this Storch guy and many others as well have their own personal Facebook profiles. I'm on cell phone internet right now, but later today I am going to search for them and I am going to be having a fucking word with them. And then some.

  • End the federal reserve.

  • I hear the CEO of BP worked for Goldman Sachs too. Some say there is a media blackout on what happened in the gulf.

  • amen brother! i'm on board!

  • Soros owns 40 percent of Goldman Sachs and is a partner in it.
