Ok so I'm reading this book called "The Greatest Lies Throughout History" by Alexander Canducci and it talks about when Rome burned and Nero blamed the Christians...
This happened in 64 A.D.
The New Testament was written in 50 A.D.
We know the earlier Christians were the equivalent to hippies
Christianity before Jesus
is it possible that Rome wrote the New Testament and used the Burning of Rome to get rid of the older Christianity groups, to make way for the newer, stricter religion?
Stricter = easier to control
Nero was told he could do whatever he wanted as long as he pointed the finger at the Christians when the time came
Am I crazy or does this make sense? The timelines match up perfectly, as do the stories

I don't think they put a lot of effort into 'hiding' many documents, because they really don't believe anyone outside of government or attorneys is likely to ever read them.
Jester seems to have had his finger in every pie: the rescue of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, the A.I.G. calamity, the decisions to bailout Citigroup, G.M. and Chrysler, and the creation of the Troubled Asset Relief Program. For Fannie and Freddie, Paulson credits Jester with the “inspired idea” of creating a “keepwell” agreement that allowed the Treasury to continually provide financing to those companies “no matter how much they lost long into the future.”
As Representative Marcy Kaptur, an Ohio Democrat, pointed out at the Congressional hearing about American International Group on January 27, between Sept. 14, 2008 and Nov. 26, 2008 — the darkest days of the financial crisis — Tim Geithner, then head of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and now Treasury Secretary, spoke on the phone with Jester 103 times. Paulson — not Ben Bernanke, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, or Christopher Cox, the Chairman of the Security and Exchange Commission — was the only person to whom Geithner spoke more often.
One former A.I.G. executive told me that Jester was calling many of the shots at the insurer between mid-September, when the New York Fed decided to go ahead with the bailout
