Cheney Subpoenaed - US Treasury Secretary Arrested 4.5 Trillion money laundering

Wow....

A caller on C-SPAN this morning was asking about Cheney being Subpoenaed in Germany in connection with the US Secretary of the Treasury (Paulson) who was arrested on charges of money laundering, in the amounts of 4.5 Trillion?!?!?!

No one on C-SPAN knew what they were talking about, the guy said it was reported in foreign press, and not the US.

So I did a Google on Cheney subpoenaed Germany, and look at all the articles:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rls=GGGL,GGGL:2006-17,GGGL:en&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=cheney+subpoenaed+germany&spell=1

Notice that one of the links is to Huffington Post, but the Heading is of a different matter. If you click on it, you get the 3000 dead story, even if you click on the 'cached' version.

Weird. This just happened last week. There must be some kind of news blackout.

1. news blackout or fiction?
I vote for fiction. Particularly since Paulson was at the Ford funeral service.

3. Well that is why I asked here
...to hopefully clear up the matter, since there do seem to be some reports on it.

5. Jeeze, I was just trying to get more info on it
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 11:39 AM by Nictuku
who knew I'd end up being attacked for it.

This is why since 2004, I have made so few posts.

11. I was not referring to you
I was referring to the c-span caller.

But then maybe you shouldn't put so much faith in c-span callers.

Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 11:50 AM by Nictuku
I didn't just take the word of a caller, I found some info on it on the internet. My next step was to ask here. Seemed like too big a story to have not made the news.

But DU has set me straight, yes siree bob. I won't make that mistake again.

16. Article from Google hit:
http://www.worldreports.org/news/38_paulson_and_cheney_s

Rather long article talking about his arrest and that he was flown out of the country on a British plane. I know nothing about this source, so don't flame me. Just thought it was worth looking into.

18. That Site, Ma'am, Is A Very Poor Exercise In Un-Intended Comedy
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 12:02 PM by The Magistrate
Here is their description of one of their flagship publications:

"Soviet Analyst is the only publication in the world specialising in the monitoring of ongoing covert Soviet strategic deception operations and the Soviet dimension of the World Revolution. Because the whole world fell for the classic Leninist strategic deception of ‘collapsible Communism’ and the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Soviet Analyst fulfils a necessary function in explaining ongoing Leninist deception strategy, an understanding of which is a prerequisite for being able to make any sense of contemporary global developments. There are no excuses any longer for the hoodwinked political and policymaking classes in the West continuing to substitute dangerous wishful-thinking about the ‘former’ USSR, for realistic analysis. Because the West believed all its Bolshevik lies, the Leninist revolutionary enemy has been enabled maintain its elaborate disguise, with prospectively fateful consequences for Western civilisation. It doesn't matter which false Soviet political faction, covertly controlled by the continuing Communist Party of the Soviet Union, wins a staged election in Moscow: the Communists will always win, given that ‘Post’-Soviet controlled ‘democratism’ is a Leninist deception. Soviet Analyst applies Leninist methodology to unravel the mysteries of covert ongoing Soviet strategy, which become easier to decipher once the Leninist mindset is mastered."

23. Apart from those here who try and stop legitimate investigations into
information received, I couldn't agree more. That is the only way the facts are ever found.

20. Tell us Crispini since apparently you are an authority on what is legitimate
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 12:10 PM by shance
Please tell us what media outlet are legitimate when it comes to covering the truth about the War on Iraq, September 11th, the Kennedy Assassination, all the assassinations in the sixties for that matter and so many other events that have transpired.

Please tell us which "legitimate" media outlet you are talking about because I sure would love to watch it, but it JUST DOESNT EXIST.

The internet provides people with factual and honest research and access to invaluable documentation, certainly light years more than the manufactured "legitimate" news you seem to be enamored with.

25. Look, leaving the rabbit hole aside for one moment,
if the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States were arrested, it would be IN THE NY TIMES, the WAPO, etctera. I'm sorry, but that would be Major. Hard. News.

I'm not seeing those headlines.

Therefore, any source reporting it is bogus.

Also contains a great many dotty uncles, cranks, faddists, and outright lunatics and bald-faced liars. The proportion of swill to fact runs distressingly high....
