three more career government employees and/or academics with no real-world work experience, just what we fucking need
By real-world work experience, you mean picking reference CDO portfolios right?
It's either gonna be ex-Wall St. or ex-academia. Take your pick. I voted for Kodos. With all the political fallout right now, Obama isn't gonna nom-nom-nominate someone from the Street. Don't forget who two of Obama's top donors were (Wall St. + UC system).
On one hand you could have a ruthless, greedy, savy IB, or you could have a benign, keysian scholar.
Hopefully the later can at least do basic math and can envison policy that lasts past the next election cycle.
The other problem with these nominations is the singularity, homogeneity of them.
Not one Gentile in the bunch.
This looks evermore like a zionist takeover of government, particklerly the Money.
Is Yellen jewish? I'm not familiar with that surname.
Anyway, shhhhh! We're not supposed to speak out loud about this blaringly obvious fact regarding the make-up of money, academic, and political circles. What elephant in the room? There's an elephant?
Yes.
http://www.jinfo.org/Economists.html
When Yellen Opens Her Mouth
Yellen sounds like Bernank-ster's ventriloquist dummy with out the beard...
If she is circumcised... then she is technically a tranny pick...
As seen on SEC porn downloads...
The biggest drawback in the jungle is an Elephant's foreskin....except this one ain't got one!
Was thinkin the same thing...more members of the Tribe empowered to fuck shit up.
Just another financial catastrophe with the Tribe's fingerprints all over it. More Jew Confetti for us
Messiah gotta make amends to the Chosen what with his disenfranchisement of the Homeland.
Politics, anyone?
Nothin' to do with the Well Being of AmeriKa.
...........they just don't make jews like jesus anymore....................
Doesn't matter. We get cornholed by the Blankfiends either way.
Take your pick...overtly, by putting them in power directly, or subversively by giving he power to the terminally inept, who are unable to determine the direction of gravity, and think its laws don't apply to them personally. For latter of course are manipulated by the former.
Exactly. We need more appointments of business people like Blankfein who do "gods work" while working in the private sector.

Vomit
Wait until Obama, Hatoyama and Clegg are all in charge. Is that an invitation for invasion or what?
'I'm sorry to say that the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself'
Simon Phoenix, 'Demolition Man'
"And all this fascist crap makes me wanna puke."- John Spartan - The Demolition man
But it's not invasion. No boogie men in the corner ready to strike, just the banksters in the corner pretending there to be. Point with the right hand, steal with the left.
I suspect the oath for this position goes something like:
"Do you swear to destroy the dollar, destroy nothing but the dollar until the dollar exists no more, so help you Kinkos?"
"I do"
"congratulations...please take a seat at the printing press and commence the destruction you swore to partake in"
+1.5
I worked at Kinko's for years. If you tried to make a color copy of a $100 FRN (like it would fool anyone) it would lock the machine down and immeditately call tech support. It was pretty funny seeing what customers would try to get away with.
Unfortuantely, this 'anti-money printing' technology was lost at some point in the early 21st century, and has been abolished from the countryside.
Yellen the felon.
Why is the FED Board the only entity in the country that doesn't have to adhere to one iota of diversity?
What do you mean? There is diversity!
We just nominated TWO CHICKS. AT THE SAME TIME.
http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kwo071qoWY1qz7wfjo1_500.jpg
Mr Obama, have you never heard of diversity. the very same program that elevated you to POTUS?
Just appoint one non-Jew to a financial position. Please for god's sake.
goyim not allowed.
three words - BUY. GOLD. NOW.
You people are nuts. These are the same types of people that have been at the Fed since its inception. Who would they nominate? Barney Frank? Ken Lewis? Hank Paulson?
The market is going to sky --- and keep skying until it blows itself up. I have been fighting the tape for a year and with my Congresscritter for almost 2 years. Ain't nothin gonna change until we blow ourselves to smithereens. They have patched up the balloon and have begun inflating (been inflating actually) and it won't stop until the patches give way. I say the "recovery" lasts until sometime in 2011.
Tax increases will stave off a bond market implosion later this year and the sheeple won't do a dang thing except keep buying stocks.
The end will come but it is NOT imminent. I don't care how many people blog about money printing and sovereign default and trade imbalances and minimum wage jobs. They succeeded when we thought they wouldn't. Well fucking kudos to the brilliant head jobs.
Congratufuckulations! You just sealed my children and my grand children's fate.
Psquared,
"Congratufuckulations! You just sealed my children and my grand children's fate."
No, they are in the process of sealing the fate of the entire Nation.....as in it USED TO BE.
The federal reserve tells him who he can appoint to THEIR bank,They just make it look like he gets to pick someone of his choosing.
a crook, a pitchman, a chicago bagman, taking his marching orders from wall street bankers. the us is screwed big time. and so are the rest of us. gold and silver.
Lucky:
before we had your loser (a crook, a pitchman, a chicago bag man) we had:
a half-bright rich kid who was a born again coke head and a political sock puppet taking his marching orders from darth vader and wall street bankers. the us is screwed big time. and so are the rest of us. gold and silver, bitches..................
All Jewish. New Support for Ben Shalom Bernanke.. Well done Obama, perfect choice, you did what Rotschild family needs . Just like Geitner, Summers, Orzag, VP of Treasury.
Geitner isn't jewish.
Geitner is jewish. Check your facts first, before making such statements. Diversity means there are no white people. Everyone else is exempt.
No he really isn't.
Seems like you could have done a quick google search of your own before accusing someone else of not checking their facts.
He's a zionist. Now what do you say?
see below Geithers all family , father, mother grandfather all jews:

heil!
Obama nominated no one !!!!
Get real, Obama nominated those who his masters told him to nominate.
Get over it, they own the Presidency and our government, and nothing short of blood in the streets will ever change that.
Exactly.
taraxias,
Bingo.................Hannity claims on his program tonight he's got proof that Obama has no plans to vacate.
Hell, I could have told him that as soon as I saw his CZAR picks.
To see's who's da Boss..................look at the team members around Bush Jr., and now Big "O".................
Clue.................GS.
"Get real, Obama nominated those who his masters told him to nominate."
Obummer's New Hit Single:
"Puppet Man"
Puppet man burning out his fuse up here alone
And I think it's gonna be a LONG long time...
And I think it's gonna be a LONG LONG time...
Big government conservatives who want as much war in the Middle East as possible have been criticizing Obama for his overtures to Muslims. This morning’s interview with an anti-Koran author on my radio station actually went one step further, suggesting that Obama was an anti-Semite. The truth is, of course, that Obama’s appointments show him to be the most pro-Israel and pro-Zionist president in history. He is also attempting to use race as division strategy and especially in his comments about the Arizona immigration law. Let’s hope he isn’t using the same strategy in finance.
His closest advisors are Jewish and every top financial appointee is Jewish. And now we have the newest appointments. How can this administration possibly defend itself against the growing charges of pro-Israel foreign policies and of financial policies that favor world economic priorities over U.S. economic needs.
The latest appointments may be Jewish but that’s not all. Raskin, for example, is heavily political and a leftist radical. How can a Congress that would pass on these appointments claim to be representative of the American people? Think these appointments are not radical? Pick one; here’s Jamie Raskin, who demonstrates the Zionist program for America:
_________________________________________
Jamie Raskin-- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJamie Raskin… is an American law professor and politician. He teaches at American University, Washington College of Law, in Washington, D.C. He won the race for Maryland State Senate in District 20… On March 1, 2006, during a Maryland State Senate hearing regarding same-sex marriage, Raskin, speaking as a constitutional law expert, told a lawmaker, "People place their hand on the Bible and swear to uphold the Constitution; they don't put their hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."
As a lawyer, he has represented such clients as Greenpeace, the Service Employees International Union and a group of Montgomery Blair High School students fighting a ban on a television show they produced dealing with same-sex marriage.
Raskin founded the Marshall-Brennan program at the Washington College of Law. The program allows law students to teach a Constitution course in public high schools in the D.C. area.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_Raskin
Here’s the Raskin bio, unedited, from the Jamies Raskin for State Senate 06 website:
Jamie Raskin is a professor of constitutional law at American University and a public-interest attorney whose clients have included Greenpeace, the Service Employees International Union, thousands of Native Americans suing the federal government over mismanagement of Indian lands, students at Blair High School in Silver Spring, the tenants of 641 Houston Avenue in Takoma Park, and the people of Washington, D.C.
A HANDS-ON PROGRESSIVE
A lifelong progressive Democrat, Raskin has brought innovative ideas and a hands-on approach to government and politics at every level.
He has served on the Montgomery County Hate Crimes Commission, the Takoma Park Election Redistricting Task Force, and the Takoma Park Gun Policy Task Force. From 1998 to 2005, Raskin served as the chairman of Montgomery County State’s Attorney Doug Gansler’s campaign committee, where he helped develop the community-based prosecution plan now in effect in Montgomery County.
In 1999, Governor Parris Glendening tapped Raskin to become the first Chairman of the Maryland State Higher Education Labor Relations Board, which the legislature created to secure the right to organize on campus. Under Raskin’s leadership of the Board, thousands of employees at institutions of higher learning in Maryland achieved collective bargaining rights for the first time in state history.
Raskin has earned national recognition as a voice for democracy, and as a civil-rights and civil-liberties advocate. In 1992, he served on President Clinton's Justice Department Transition Team for the Civil Rights Division. He was elected as a Kerry-Edwards Delegate to the Democratic National Convention in 2004. He currently serves on the advisory board of Progressive Democrats of America.
A ‘PASSIONATE’ VOICE FOR VOTERS
A member of the board of FairVote, the nation’s leading electoral-reform group, Raskin is perhaps best known as a champion of voters’ rights. In his 2003 book, “Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court versus The American People,” Raskin documented the Rehnquist Court majority’s assault on voting rights in the 2000 election, and placed Bush v. Gore in the context of a series of Supreme Court decisions undermining the participatory rights of the people.
Focusing on the Rehnquist majority’s statement that the “individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote” for president, Raskin argued for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing the right to vote (and to get one’s vote counted) to all Americans.
He has worked closely with Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. to advance a voting rights amendment in Congress, and with Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton to advance a voting rights agenda for the people of Washington, D.C.
The D.C. City Council unanimously praised Jamie’s “passionate advocacy” for the voting rights of the disenfranchised.
A RECORD OF INNOVATION AND ACTION
Raskin has built a reputation as an innovator whose ideas gain traction. His 2000 article for Slate magazine introduced the idea of Internet “vote trading” in the 2000 election, to convince Ralph Nader supporters in swing states like Florida and Wisconsin to vote for Vice President Al Gore, and to have equal numbers of Democrats vote for Nader in Republican states such as Texas and Alabama. This tactic picked up at least 35,000 votes for Gore in swing states before Republican State Attorney Generals and Secretaries of State threatened criminal prosecution of the Web site organizers.
In 1999, Raskin founded the Marshall-Brennan Constitutional Literacy Project at the Washington College of Law. Organized with the widows of the late Justices Thurgood Marshall and William Brennan, the project sends top law students into 20 public high schools in Maryland and Washington, D.C., to teach the U.S. Constitution through cases that affect students most directly.
That same year, Raskin wrote “We the Students: Supreme Court Cases for and about America’s Students,” in which he collects and analyzes the 50 most important Supreme Court decisions about the rights and responsibilities of America’s students. The book, which serves as the text for the Marshall-Brennan Project, has sold 25,000 copies, and the project has become a national model, adopted by the law schools at Rutgers University, the University of Pennsylvania, Arizona State University, the University of Oregon, and Howard University.
BACKGROUND
Born Jamin B. Raskin at George Washington University Hospital on December 13, 1962, Raskin grew up in the area and has lived in his current home in Takoma Park for 16 years. His mother, Barbara, was a best -selling novelist and the founding president of the national writers’ union. His father, Marcus, a George Washington University professor, was an aide to President Kennedy on the National Security Council and is the founder of the Institute for Policy Studies.
A graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School, where he was editor of the law review, Raskin served as Assistant Attorney General in Massachusetts before moving to Takoma Park in the late 1980s. He then served as the general counsel of the National Rainbow Coalition, working with the Rev. Jesse Jackson to expand the base of the Democratic Party and open it up to new voices, new communities and new ideas.
In 1990, he became a law professor at American University’s Washington College of Law, and later academic dean of the law school. He currently directs the school’s Program on Law and Government.
Raskin and his wife, Sarah Bloom Raskin, live in Takoma Park with their three children, Hannah, 13, Tommy, 10, and Tabitha, 8. All three children attend public schools in Takoma Park and Silver Spring.

"Big government conservatives who want as much war in the Middle East as possible."
I probably despise them as much as you, but does the list include Cheney, Blackwater and all the other military industrial matrix mthrfkrs? They certainly have to be very pissed at Wall St for crimping their action. Or mmaybe they like the idea of the world turning sour...
But your anti-J pov discredits all the rest.
Where's the bio for the Appointee herself? You only hate the husband?
And who do you want him to nominate, Mussolini? Ahmadinejad?
Would you accept Professor Black? (denomination unknown)
There are two primary reasons for the “war on terror” and the U.S. military position in the Middle East: defense of Israeli foreign policy and the appropriation of oil and natural gas. Just which top ranking financial official of the U.S. can be depended upon to stand 100 percent for the interests of U.S. citizens if a choice is to be made between these interests and the state of Israel? All I’m saying is when the financial policy structure of our country is largely Jewish, and the Fed is at the heart of our total national policy structure, there’s a growing appearance of bias.
We very much have a singularly monoethnic narrative in this country, given the stranglehold that the Tribe has on both media and finance.
Shit doesn't get funded nor spoken about, the movies and shows don't get produced, unless groups of the Tribe agree on it. Just wiki up Ashkenazim. The entire group is genetically related enough to start having genetic diseases caused actually by inbreeding.
I recall what Bob Rubin said about Richard Cohen, something to the effect of that they'd never met, but when they did, he heard his father and saw his father in Cohen's voice and eyes and how familiar it was and how he knew implicitly because of this that they were "family." Even though they are very distant relatives. That is clan nepotism in action.
People in the US are so inculcated to hearing only jewish narratives that they don't even understand what anglosaxon norms are anymore. We think this is "the west" whereas other europeans see us completely differently. And we cannot seem to fathom how our nation creates frictions just the same as Israel does.
Minimum qualifications for any Fed position should be that the nominee be required to do the CAPTCHA answers in their head, no calculators or PC spreadsheets or pen and paper allowed.
old_turk:
i love that idea and will go even further. all pre and post nomination de-briefings should be done by marla in her leather and lace get-up with big time hooker heels and riding crop in hand. all pre and post induction mantras, as well as circumcison inspections, to be done by baghdad ben in a knee-high-eye-of-horus ceremonial robe that barely covers his lady gaga branded kosher thong.
JR,
Why would one change their Christian given name from Barry Soetero, to Barack Hussein Obama?
Ever notive Michelle never accompanies "O" on any trips to the Islamic countries, that have Sharia Law?.
Also, we have to remember there are Jews, and THEN there are the Jews..........
If you know who Barry is, then you know something that few Americans know. But we do know who controls him.
"Why would one change their Christian given name from Barry Soetero, to Barack Hussein Obama?"
Would you have been happier with JaMarcus, Laquesha or Shanaynay??
JR,
Why would one change their Christian given name from Barry Soetero, to Barack Hussein Obama?
Ever notice Michelle never accompanies "O" on any trips to the Islamic countries, that have Sharia Law?.
Also, we have to remember there are Jews, and THEN there are the Jews..........
I do not understand your connection between Michelle and Sharia Law. Would you please elaborate. Honest question, not an attack. Thanks in advance.
Oh Dear God, NO.
Of course I did predict in 2008 he would not bother to pack the courts because he couldn't.
However "packing the Fed" is something I predicted. And that is a much more dangerous course for America's future...
And one more thing. The Fabian London School of Economics is yet another close tie of these people to the IMF/World bank and its advocacy of socialism on a global scale by the draining of wealth away from the “rich” United States for redistribution to the impoverished countries of the world who will form the core of world socialism. The brain trust for implementing this Keynesian/Socialist plan is called the Council on Foreign Relations, regardless of the government media’s negative characterization of this as “conspiracy theory.”
Almost all of America’s leadership comes from this small group that constitutes the hidden government of the United States. As CFR member Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote:
“…some international cooperation has already been achieved, but further progress will require greater American sacrifices. More intensive efforts to shape a new world monetary structure will have to be undertaken, with some consequent risk to the present relatively favorable American position.”
We have traveled far down the road to serfdom since that excerpt was written by Brzezinski in 1970 in Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era. When Communist China's central bank governor in March 2009 called for a "super-sovereign reserve currency" run by the IMF as a de facto central bank for the planet by activating its power to issue Special Drawing Rights (SDRs), U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner let slip that Washington was "open" to the idea.
+100
I am not a fan of slamming Jews, as a group they add much to our society...however the CFR and others ,as represented by every US president in the last 30+ yrs (and Mr Brzezinski) are a group devoted to as you posted: "risk to the present relatively favorable American Position" explains Government Policy which on it's face is contrary to the interests of the public in our country..The rape of the wealth of our country is a policy of the very Government we have elected..a people asleep.
Are there any Hawks left? What happened to Plosser?
These doves have shotguns...and fangs
Embrace the Groupthink.
Not only is the economy like the 30's, but so is the jewbaiting. Can't we do better on ZH?
The above candidates can be better defined(along with Geithner, Ben Shazam) as Keynesians. Keynesians are Socialists in drag. And Socialism is oligarchism in Drag.
Keynsians believe in supply side, trickle-down money supply. If they make more, more trickles to the little people. that keeps the little people happy while the Alpha class(Buffet, Blankfein, Queen of fucking England-not a Jew,Rothschilds) hoard devalued money supply. It's the same as stock dilution, except you keep the same % of company value while everyone else's shares to go hell.
The people you are bitching about are moronic Ivy league, groupthink stooges. They were taught bullshit economics by academic bs artists. That's all they know. If they came from Cal Berkeley, then that's even worse.
There is no other paradigm. If you ask these morons about Austrian economics, game theory or any other model they explode.
If Geithner(went to my High School) et Al. were any good at what they did, they wouldn't work for the USG or the FED. They are little foozballs players getting used by the alpha class to secure wealth for them. Barney Frank, Dodd and Congress are part of the sub political class who just want power and a golf game with the alphas. In the case of Frank, free saunas with young boys.
You hit the nail on the head, coco.
These are neo-classical Keynesians while will do little more than nod in approvement the machinations of the Dear Chairman.
Obama couldn't have chosen a more homogenous group of economic thinkers if he tried-- which we know he didn't. He probably simply asked Bennie Mae to "send him a list" for nominatiors.
Nobody but you is 'jewbaiting'. Two questions:
1) Are they or are they not Jewish?
2) Does being Jewish tend to affect your behavior and decisions in way that is to the detriment of the country (and I don't mean Israel)?
If you answer yes to both those questions it is far from 'jewbaiting', it becomes a relevant point. Hey kid, name calling to stiffle debate isn't useful. If you don't like words like Jew, Christian, of Muslim because you don't want to talk about an elephant in the room, maybe a non-PC website isn't for you.
Yes, but fascist Trotskyism is a jewish invention. Marx's dad was jewish. Must explain the fascination with the doctrine. Trotsky was a jew as well. He was born Lev Bronstein.
Most of the most eggregious examples of what we whiteys call race baiting, reverse racism, etc., things like the NAACP, are jewish inventions, along with all the "multiculturalism" they brought with them.
The SPLC agitates constantly against anything and everything white; it's run by jews as well.
Nevermind media and finance.
Look, at what point will we call this clan nepotism for what it is? Nobody has yet suggested another Reinhard, but would we tolerate monoethnicity and control by a tiny minority were it any other minority?
This type of nepotism leads to class and ethnic friction which leads to very dark places, as has been historically shown. The group is looking out for and shepherding other members of the group; it's very clear. America has been hijacked.
trav7777:
Yes the U.S. has been hijacked by a kind of alien occupation government. Indeed, you seem well read, thoughtful, and have connected the dots.
You are in contrast to the many that seem to delight in being 'useful idiots' (a term used by the same group of jewish communists to describe goyim who seem hell bent on their own deaths and/or the destruction of their country and/or way of life). It has been brainwashed into whitey that only they are not allowed to defend themselves or their families or their way of life (e.g., just walk around the southern border and observe the benefits of diversity: death, crime, trash, etc.); if they do, immediately out come the ad hominims and they are branded a 'racist', Nazi, 'anti-semite', etc., etc. ... The rank hypocrisy is lost on most these days, let alone the chain of causation. Is it really that difficult for people not to see that obviously we are in effect beng lead by an alien occupation government of sorts (not just useful idiots and their overlords, but a full spectrum of people that want the U.S. destroyed, or used up like some Bic lighter)? That noted, the fact that a group representing about 2% of the population controls over half of U.S. finance, the media, and now the Fed doesn't seem to phase these people who seem more interested in whether one might be some 'racist' 'cracker'. Names don't change the facts, but facts only are important to those who don't freeze like a deer in the PC headlights. Man there are a great number of deer out there.
......thank you, cocoablini.....going too far down this road is not the way the ZH community wants to proceed. i agree, it's clearly an issue, but, this avenue of discussion is way too obvious..... embedded lurker type stuff. no 'spring times for hitler' here, please...........
Now that all you "Tools" have exposed your antisemitism, shall we move on to more intellectual and compelling debate?
Anyone actually care to elaborate, extrapolate and debate the economic backgrounds of said nominees? The economic schools of though these nominees hold stays the same. Mainstream, Saltwater thought coming from Harvard, Berkeley, Yale, MIT etc. No need to shake things up with someone of the Chicago school or Austrian camps, eh? Mr. Obama, thanks for the change (sarcasm).
Now, lets proceed to the tinkering of interest rates, asset bubbles and the boom bust cycles we all know are coming.
gs_
You are a typical Jew,
anybody uses the word Jew or ask a question immediately the defense comes as anti-semitism.
There is nothing wrong with jews or being jewish, we have no issue here.OK ?
But we have a big issue with jewish bankers .
So its the only way to see who is linked to the Rotshields, get it ?
here is the link and here is the connections we dont like :

Benedict Benjamin Bernanke
BY ROB KIRBY
Do any of you ever wonder who this guy is really working for, anyway? Well, in case anyone cares, here’s what he’s supposed to be doing:
Appearances Vs. Realities
Just last week, the good folks over at Barclays Bank chimed-in with this assessment of Benedict Bernake’s efforts to-date:
Perhaps Mr. Bond [James, perhaps?] should have mentioned that the Fed and the old lady of Threadneedle St. [The Bank of England] have the same ownership. Not to worry. Surely there’s room for both of them “under the bus.”
Who Owns the Federal Reserve?
The private ownership of the Fed is a closely guarded secret. However, it is generally believed that the following banks/families have at least some stake:
1. Rothschild Bank of London
2. Warburg Bank of Hamburg
3. Rothschild Bank of Berlin
4. Lehman Brothers of New York
5. Lazard Brothers of Paris
6. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
7. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
8. Goldman, Sachs of New York
9. Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
10. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York.
Now, the long answer is more complex. Have a look at these charts (click here).
According to the information presented there (assuming not much has changed since 1976) it would appear that the Bank of England actually owns the Federal Reserve and the IRS.
The Bank of England is, in turn, almost certainly owned by the Rothschild family, though if they saw fit to sell shares, they would not be required to report this since these are privately traded companies we're talking about.
Please note that to determine who controls these institutions, it's not enough to simply list the shareholders. One must also take into consideration who, in turn, owns the shareholders themselves. Furthermore, the influence and connections of the chairmen cannot be ignored, as these men are the ones making the decisions.
Then again, perhaps the good folks over at Barclays Bank are simply getting upset with recent declines in the value of their investments [data compliments of Great Red Dragon]:

The dudes at Barclays really do seem to have their fingers in quite a few jars, ehhhh?
I’m sure it’s only coincidence that their chairman, Marcus Agius, is married to Katherine (born 1949), daughter of Edmund de Rothschild of the Rothschild banking family of England, with two children, and has a close involvement with the Rothschild family estate, Exbury Gardens in Hampshire. I guess running a family business isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
It seems that Barclays [or was that Rothschild?] isn’t the only one that Sir Benedict of Bernanke has manage to rankle lately:
It is vital that everyone understands what has been done to “our” financial system. Furthermore, it is especially vital that everyone understand that, historically, ownership of precious metals has helped to insulate folks from the systemic financial difficulties we are now facing.
Are you adequately protected?
If you are still having trouble getting your head around this, just remember…
