OK, Time to Stop Messing Around and Get to That G.E. Post

The latest news is a nugget that slipped out as President Barack Obama surrendered to Vladimir Putin. President Obama aided in getting General Electric to the table with the Russian Prime Minister who is a de facto dictator. This is just the latest in a pattern of highly disturbing and clearly unethical entanglement by the Obama administration with General Electric (and Goldman Sachs, which is running most of the Fed through former employees). I've been meaning to lay out the relationship for some time now, so here goes. Please keep in mind this is not a timeline, so the events mentioned aren't sequential.

It goes without citation that MSNBC has been in the tank for Obama from the beginning, sacrificing any sense of journalistic integrity or balance (though it goes without citation, here is a citation though I don't think it can be quantified just how biased they have been). MSNBC is, of course, owned by NBC whose parent company is General Electric. When confronted by GE shareholders at a meeting about the obvious bias, GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt shut down questioning. Jeff Immelt and NBC CEO Jeff Zucker have both been directly involved in the left-leaning slant of MSNBC and it's rabid support of President Obama's agenda.

Not that media bias is anything new, but it gets a bit deeper. President Obama after the election appointed Jeff Immelt to his Economic Recovery Advisory Board. So we have the head of a corporation with a major news outlet subsidiary that is working directly with the administration and appears to be using the news outlets to support the President's agenda. This is not to mention that Jeff Immelt has presided over GE while it has been driven into the ground and is on the Economic Recovery Advisory Board.

In the meantime, GE has also positioned itself to lobby for and directly benefit from administration proposals (I strongly recommend reading this entire article), which Immelt clearly has influence on as an advisor to the President. GE has positioned itself to take advantage of wind power, "smart grid" technology, CO2 scrubbers, electronic health care records (which are already in limited use and, I'm told by doctors I deal with, useless and confusing to the physicians who have to use them), as well as having legislation written which is going to give GE the money to continue operating despite its financial crisis (these are all covered in the article I recommended above though I was aware of them before I found the article).

To make a moderately sized story short, GE and President Barack Obama have become intertwined in a hugely concerning and highly unethical manner, and this is just the stuff I can find working on this part-time. I would encourage anyone reading this to keep an eye out for more things like this. This is the most transparently corrupt administration in history.
