September 26, 2008 (LPAC)--British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, visiting New York and Washington to push the U.S. bailout of British and other financiers, was due to meet Friday with President George W. Bush at the White House.

Brown met at breakfast Thursday n New York with Foreign Office agent George Soros and other financiers. He spoke at the United Nations, calling on world leaders to support the U.S. legislation proposed by Bush.

Brown, accompanied by Australian P.M. Kevin Rudd, also met with Tim Geithner, head of the New York branch of the Federal Reserve --shades of the 1920s-30s axis between the Bank of England's Hitlerite governor Montagu Norman and his man, Benjamin Strong, then president of the New York Fed.

The London Telegraph warned Friday that "London shares could lose a fifth of their value and the money market faces collapse unless U.S. politicians succeed with their financial bail-out plan." The Telegraph quoted the Prime Minister, lecturing Americans: "Mr. Brown acknowledged U.S. taxpayers' concerns about the cost to them of the financial rescue package put forward by Mr Paulson. But he added: `We [!] have a duty also to keep the financial system moving forward.'"
