| 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.

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.Template:Cn

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".[1] 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.

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"[2], 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.[3]
- 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.
