Newt Gingrich: "I'm a Wilsonian" (Relates himself to Woodrow Wilson)

"Wilson's speeches still work. I'm frankly a realpolitik Wilsonian." -- Newt Gingrich (source)

Woodrow Wilson created the Federal Reserve System and enslaved our currency. Not to mention that he rounded up 100,000 dissenters during World War 1 and locked them in prison camps, for speaking out against the war. Wilson was among the top 3 worst presidents. Absolute tyrant.

Here's the Mexico Myth... Gingrich & company Bailed Out Mexico, which was a backdoor bailout of Goldman Sachs and Wall st creditors. It was a failure, Mexico continued it's decline. Please read the entire article at the link.

http://www.cooperativeindividualism.org/mexico_naftaimpact.html

The peso crisis which began in December 1994 left Mexico in dire financial condition in which she held almost no hard currency reserves and had over $30 billion of foreign held debt coming due in 1995. Some $23 Billion of this was in the form of short term Tesobonos A major portion of this debt was held by U.S. investors and banks which had preferred the higher interest rates available in Mexican bonds. As the crisis started the Clinton Administration began a campaign to get congressional approval of a bailout package of $40 Billion which would cover the short term loan repayments and provide a needed hard currency reserve to help stabilize the imploding domestic Mexican economy. This effort stalled in Congress due to the perception that the U.S. taxpayer was being asked to bail out the money center banks which would nice profits from the bailout.

The U.S. financial establishment's bailout efforts were led by the new Treasury Secretary Bob Rubin and the Federal reserve chief Alan Greenspan. Both testified that if the package was not forthcoming, the fallout would devastate world financial markets. A later study by the World Bank concluded that the fallout would have had little effect on other world markets. The study also concluded that the December crisis had been .forced by wealthy Mexican businessmen who rushed to convert pesos to dollars after a late night private briefing on December 19 by Zedillo and the financial chiefs that revealed that the Mexico's currency reserves had nearly vanished. It is interesting to note that many of the big banks that were at risk in the repayment of the Tesobonos were the banks that owned the Federal Reserve In January the Federal Reserve Bank entered the foreign exchange markets to buy pesos in an effort to slow the continuing peso collapse. When Congress balked, the US reached for allies in the IMF and elsewhere. The Bank of International Settlements is an association of the central banks of the countries less affluent than the G7 and has generally been ignored by the US. Early in the Bailout discussions, Alan Greenspan and the Chairman McDonough of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York quietly joined the Board of Directors of the B.I.S. As Congressional sentiment hardened against the bailout, the Clinton Administration announced a bailout package which did not require the concurrence of Congress. It may also be noted that Secretary Rubin had headed the Wall street investment firm of Goldman, Sachs where he personally handled the accounts of many of the top Mexican business and political leaders. When Rubin was appointed head of the President's Economic Council he announced that he would recuse himself from decisions involving Mexico due to his extensive Mexican associations. Apparently, when he became Secretary of Treasury these restrictions no longer applied.

The bailout package, which was signed on February 21, 1995 after approval by Clinton and letters signed by Dole, Gingrich, Daschle, and Gephardt, provided a $52 Billion credit to Mexico which consisted of $17.8 Billion from the International Monetary Fund, $20 Billion from the U.S. Treasury exchange stabilization fund, $10 Billion from the Bank of International Settlements and the remainder from various U.S. banks. . As a condition of the loan the income from Mexico's oil exports was to be deposited in an account at the Federal Reserve bank as collateral against the U.S. Treasury loan. One can only imagine the behind the scenes arm twisting and promises the U.S. must have made to put this package together. The IMF had already lent Mexico the maximum amount that its rules allowed so that the additional $18 Billion was quite an exception. Also the B.I.S. had never made such a major loan to a non-member nation, but these impediment's soon gave way under the U.S. pressure. By using these International bank funds, Mexico was able to limit the amount of the $20 billion U.S. credit line that was actually used to only $12.5 Billion.

We know, Newt Gingrich has been married three times. He has had two affairs during those marriages which is how he's had two divorces. Newt is the guy who was having an affair with an office staffer while persecuting Bill Clinton for having an affair with an office staffer. Newt Gingrich is the candidate of the conservative value's party? Newt the biggest hypocrite of any candidate running for the Republican nomination.

Joe Scarborough Destroys Newt Gingrich’s ‘Conservative Principles’
video
by Tommy Christopher | 12:09 pm, November 28th, 2011


The news that Newt Gingrich has secured the endorsement of New Hampshire’s Manchester Union Leader seems to have prompted something of a feeding frenzy over at Morning Joe, which spent a large portion of this morning’s episode alternately chomping on the candidacies of endorsee Newt Gingrich and snub-ee Mitt Romney. While tough to narrow down, host Joe Scarborough‘s litany of Gingrich’s “conservative principles” probably cut deepest.


The Union Leader endorsement is the big political news of the day, and not just because it comes after a dead holiday weekend. The conservative paper’s stamp of approval is being portrayed as a game-changer for Gingrich, much as it seems to have been for John McCain during the 2008 race for the GOP nod.
As game-changers go, though, the endorsement itself was some weak, tepid tea, citing Gingrich accomplishments that have the nostalgia quotient of a Roxette concert, and noted that while Gingrich is “by no means the perfect candidate,” he is “worthy of your support on January 10.”

Co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough basically took turns basting Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich in their own juices all morning, but it was Scarborough who effectively composed the Romney campaign’s next attack ad for them by rattling off a litany of Gingrich heresy.


“The Manchester Union Leader must have gone on and said that the principle, the conservative principle he stood on was calling Paul Ryan’s budget plan radical right-wing social engineering,” Scarborough began, but he wasn’t done by a damn sight.


Scarborough went on to list Gingrich’s support for the unfunded $7 trillion Medicare D program, “amnesty for illegals,” and mandatory health insurance (with an assist from Mark Halperin). He ticked off Gingrich’s ties to Freddie Mac, his anti-global warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi, and finished with a two-fer, saying that Gingrich “flip-flops more than Mitt Romney. Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney should have a contest. I’m so dizzy.”


There are probably a lot of conservatives who will dismiss Scarborough as a RINO, as they often do when they want to protect whatever delusion they’re nursing, but they’re not really the key audience for this, anyway. Joe Scarborough wields considerable influence in Washington, DC, both with the media and within the political bubble. He may be telling conservatives things that they don’t want to hear, but you can bet the other candidates are listening, and taking notes.
Here’s the clip, from MSNBC’s Morning Joe:

Gingrich Promises War on Syria

As part of Newt Gingrich's WWIII initiative strategy, he announced this morning that he wants to kill the President of Syria.

Gingrich says he would "replace" Assad

Taking a hard line on a U.S. foe in the Middle East, Republican presidential front-runner Newt Gingrich indicated Wednesday that he would unilaterally "replace" Syrian President Bashar al-Assad because he is running a "bad dictatorship."

Gingrich wants a pre-emptive strike on North Korea (2009)

In 2009 he said he'd execute preemptive strikes against North Korea, militarily if necessary.

Gingrich: Obama Has Pulled a 'Bait and Switch'

GINGRICH: I would use whatever methods were necessary for the missile never to be launched. And I think you could do it probably with unconventional methods. VAN SUSTEREN: So that's military. Are you saying military?
GINGRICH: If necessary. If I can't find a way to bribe somebody to blow it up, I'd find a way to have either a small team go in, or a way to deliver either a laser or another kind of device.
This is a missile that is sitting there on that launch pad, and I think you could take it out with very, very minimal risk to anybody.
But I think the idea of allowing the North Koreans to launch missiles is an enormously dangerous threat in the long run. And it will never be true, until the morning it is, and then it will be just like 9/11, and people will say "Gosh, why didn't we think of this?"

Gingrich wants to expand Foreign Service Officer (FSO) program by 40%

This will help him "globalize" the country faster.


Rogue State Department | Newt Gingrich
Foreign Policy magazine, July/August 2003

At the same time, a new Foreign Service officer (FSO) education program must dramatically expand the requirements for learning new doctrines and new capabilities. The Foreign Service of the future must have a clear vision of understanding the world and of how to best report back to the United States, while effectively and aggressively representing American values to the world. An appropriate training program would highlight the strategies the U.S. government is following both to make the United States safer and to increase security, health, prosperity, and freedom worldwide. This emphasis would help FSOs strengthen U.S. ties with populations around the globe.

Such an effort will require a Foreign Service that is at least 40 percent larger so that its personnel can take on career-enriching assignments outside of their traditional duties. It also requires the development of continuing education so FSOs can absorb new lessons about diplomacy and communication, learn new strategies and new skills, and continue to develop throughout their careers.

Gingrich excited about "geoengineering" the earth to fight global warming

Newt wants to do all sorts of strange tax-funded experiments over our heads in order to try and fight the earth from changing temperatures.

One of these ideas includes the ongoing effort to disperse aluminum particles over our heads, supposedly to block sunlight. He wants to save us from the sun... Nevermind the health effects of making people breathe these particles.


Geo-engineering: green versus greed in the race to cool the planet

"Geo-engineering holds forth the promise of addressing global warming concerns for just a few billion dollars a year," said Newt Gingrich, former speaker of the US House of Representatives, in 2008. "We would have an option to address global warming by rewarding scientific innovation. Bring on American ingenuity. Stop the green pig."

Excellent work, again, rambone. Thanks in part to your info, I've assembled a page on Newt Gingrich over at Gather.com:

Record and Rhetoric Report: Newt Gingrich

I can't believe he is soaring in the polls this much, hopefully he will melt in the spotlight like the others.

Newt's Campaign promise breaks federal election law:

He's promising positions away prior to the election. A no-no under Federal law.


Gingrich Promise Breaks the Law

Newt Gingrich promised he would ask former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton "to be his secretary of state if he's elected president next year," the Washington Times reports.

Unfortunately, naming individuals you would appoint to office before the election is apparently illegal. Here's Title 18, Part I, Chapter 29, Section 599 of the U.S. Code:

"Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

Newt Gingrich recommended a "Homeland Security" Agency led by FEMA in March 2001

He says on Sept. 16, 2001, (5 days after 9/11 attacks) that he'd been planning for a "Homeland Security" agency back in March 2011.

He has wanted this bureaucratic Security Theater since before 9/11 ever happened. All he needed was an event to justify the Police State agenda.
