Afternoon Fun: Remixing The Fed

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A few days ago the Cleveland Fed released one of the most pathetic attempts at pandering public support in the form of a video clip that apparently was created by a special ed detention brigade. Today, we present a remix of the very same clip, whose message we believe is much more relevant to our current economic situation.

Like a sack of potato's, the poor bastard hits the ground again and again and again. At least he isn't alone in his servitude to the masters of the universe. There's great comfort in knowing you aren't the only patsy out there. See them waving to each other? Misery loves company.

It's all part of "Noopolitik":

This report builds on what we have accomplished so far in a set of studies,
since 1991, about future military affairs (cyberwar), societal-level conflict and
crime (netwar), and information strategy (see the Bibliography for relevant
citations). Here we advance the idea of “noopolitik” (nli-oh-poh-li-teek), a
new approach to statecraft based principally on the primacy of ideas, values,
laws, and ethics, as enabled by the emergence of the noosphere (an all-
encompassing realm of the mind
), to extend our research agenda in a new
direction.

 

Primarily of interest to U.S. policymakers and strategists, this report will also
interest those in academia and think tanks concerned with how the
information revolution is altering the conditions for and conduct of strategy
.

“…it is unscientific to accept the concept of a biosphere and to reject the concept of a noosphere. The noosphere is as much a part of earth as any other sphere, such as the hydrosphere. Indeed, by virtue of its being the cause of most ecological woes and the seat of all ecological action, the noosphere should, from the ecologist’s standpoint, be the most crucial layer. Its health and its protection from man’s own perversity should be one of his concerns. For obviously noosphericpollution is the source of all pollution.”

Sorry, lame, They should have used the video yet overlaid a new audio track that honestly explains what is going on. Now THAT would have been funny!

I was thinking more techno remix, much more accurate.

Eh, ok. Still lame imho. The original video deserve a GREAT remix, this falls far short of that. Heck, even the Slap Chop guy got a great remix.

Robbers and Murders should post tube videos to attempt to clean their name too.

Like in Sicily, you can tell the society is Corrupted beyond repair when CRIMINALS like the FED chairmans. Are considered NORMAL or GOOD people. Just like the MAFIA in SiCily.

BEYOND REPAIR.

I would have put black ants on Real Mahogany, but otherwise almost as surreal as Un Chein Andalou, if I do say so myself.

That was subtle, but great. I love the slowing/speeding up the voice.

Come on!

I was just getting into it, but the "remix" made it difficult to understand.

I expected more from Zero Hedge.

I just love when the balloon is beating the tar out of him before it starts picking him up and dropping him.

I actually spit my dinner out onto the keyboard.  Unfortunately, they see no problem.  Thanks TD yet again!

Suggestions on removing broccoli from tight spaces is greatly appreciated.

Reward yourself and replace the keyboard. And stop eating at the computer. The Internet Gods (aka Big Brother) don't wish to watch you eat with your mouth open.

hahhahahahhh, that was a little bit of genius, truly brought tears to my eyes - tho' if asked what "kind" of tears, that might fluctuate - laughter/despair/absurdity/realisation, et al. . .

as a postscript, I stream a socal radio station, kcrw, and the tunes that came up during watching this vid were: jamie cullen "the wheels have fallen off the world" & fink "sort of revolution"

I do love randomness, hehe - take care guys.
