( 2000s: )     2009
The largest financial institutions effectively awarded themselves billions of dollars of "bailouts", after putting out the story that they were "too big to fail".
In 2009, the audacious daylight robbery of the 2008 TARP was repeated as financiers worldwide repeated the move, looting trillions of dollars from the general public.

In 2009 the dogma of the "too big to fail" financial institutions was widely promulgated by the commercially-controlled media, as top executives were rewarded at taxpayers' expense for their losing speculations. This increased the size of the those financial institutions in proportion to their leverage over national governments. Smaller institutions, the productive sector of the economy and ordinary citizens fond themselves under increasing financial pressure as the windfall profits given to the largest banks decreased the effective value of their assets.

"Global Financial Crisis"

Full article: Global Financial Crisis

In 2008 the US government passed the Troubled Asset Relief Program. In 2009, this was repeatedly amended. In other countries, the largest financial institutions carried out similar thinly veiled thefts from the public purse. In UK, the Bank of England carried out "Quantitative easing". These measures were taken in spite of over 99% of the calls from the public being against them.

Bilderberg Exposure

Full article: Bilderberg/Exposure

In 2009, the Guardian published an article by Charlie Skelton entitled Our man at Bilderberg: in pursuit of the world's most powerful cabal in which he wrote that "a handful of people are saying, this weekend is Bilderberg". This was the beginning of the end for Bilderberg's secrecy since this was to be the first of annual articles for the Guardian, and other UK commercially-controlled media outlets sent reporters to 2010 Bilderberg.

9-11 related suspicious deaths

Full article: 9-11/Premature death

2009 saw (at least) three suspicious deaths related to 9-11:

• Beverly Eckert, widowed by the 9/11 attack, was a campaigner for a real investigation of the events of that day. Stating "My silence cannot be bought", she refused to accept the 9-11/Compensation fund. On February 12, six days after meeting Barack Obama to demand a real investigation, she was killed aboard Colgan Air Flight 3407.
• Michael Doran was a US lawyer who volunteered his services to help 9-11 victims' family members who refused the US government's 9-11/Compensation fund - with the associated legal gag. On April 28 he was killed in a small plane crash outside of Cleveland.
• David Wherley was a US Air Force Major General who ordered the fighter pilots under his command to shoot at will after the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11. He and his wife were killed in the June 2009 Washington Metro train collision.

Joe Biden	“It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here if you don't remember anything else I said. Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. I can give you at least four or five scenarios from where it might originate," Biden said to Emerald City supporters, mentioning the Middle East and Russia as possibilities. And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you - not financially to help him - we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right.”	Joe Biden Time Magazine	2008
