Senate Banking Committee Approves All Three New Fed Governors

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The Senate (Bought By) Banking Committee has spoken (the bribes finally cleared): say hello to your three brand new permadovish Keynesian kritters: Yellen, Raskin and Diamond. All three now have direct access to the Goldman Sachs emergency red telephone, the suitcase carrying the printer launch codes, and a lifetime supply of How to Lie With Impunity and to Fuck With The American People for Dummies. All three will also be shortly sworn to defraud, steal and rob the US middle class blind until the failed economic experiment is over and done with.

Not only stuff the Fed with a bunch of non-bankers.... you know, might make a difference if they'd of been a loan officer somewhere in the deep dark distant past (that experience thing) but get this on the SEC...

"Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act."

And not one non-semite in the bunch.

 

Anymore, the admenstruations alternate between jewish monopoly and not too much jewish domination.

Are there no Italians, germans, Poles, irish, or dutch remotely qualified to take a financial appointment?

The blatant takeover by semites has become too overwhelming to be ignored any longer.

Oh, conjunctivitis, are you saying that Jews have only been chosen as "slaves" throughout history?  You may be right, please add my wife to that list.  Also, your name implies that you may have a myopic viewpoint.

 

EDIT:  "Clouded" viewpoint is probably a better fit, pink eye and all.

wow, even more Jews in charge of the FED, that has just been working out beautifully for US citizenry so far!

What are the odds that out of a population of 300 million where just 2% of the population is jewish that 3 out of 3 new positions at the FED would be given to Jews? less than 1 in a billion i would think. Or let's rephrase the question: In a FED owned and opperated by jewish interests what are the chances that 3 out of 3 new positions at the FED would be given to Jews? 100% is the answer so these appointments should come as no suprise to anyone.

how many good non jewish economists that could have made a real positive difference to the the lives of the people they are meant to serve have deliberately been excluded from FED positions because of their gentile background? 

The stupidy of the American people to let this blatant, in your face usury continue is just amazing. These people are even qualified to hold these positions!

bring on the "Junks" you losers, the more this post gets, the more you validate it as the truth.

Mr. Idiot you are doing a very good job trolling this site today.

firstly i noticed one of your replys earlier about "bringing out the haters". It has nothing to do with hate it is about the truth. But everytime someone questions the truth they are labelled "haters" or "anti semites" by people like you. A clear and pathetic sign of your attempt to stiffle debate about the truth.

your reply to me about "what you get when you hand down rage to the next generation" is another examplof this. My parents never handed down any rage, quite the opposite. But make no mistake about it, people are enraged about what they see being done to their economy and their way of life becuase of what they see and more and more people are waking up to it. Instead of trying to continue to pull the wool of their eyes why dont try to counter their arguments with facts and figures instead of insults? The answer is because you cant. you would very quickly prove to be defending the indefensible.

Back to the nomination of these 3 stooges to the FED and i would like you to be honest here. Since you are on ZH i assume you have at least a basic understanding of economics and financial markets. Do you think these 3 appointees to the FED are the best and brightest, most brilliant econonomic minds the US has to offer? Or do you think they are simply being appointed to tow the FED line, the same line that has driven the US economy to the brink of collapse?

No insults or name calling please just answer the question.

If we ( Jews) would be a chosen people we would get the damn Saudi land with all the oil.. and what did we get for being chosen? Some piece of crap territory.

And since the dawn of time, Jews were into finance more than others because according to some guy by nickname  of Jesus were against the wealth ( tough not in all bible interpretations), so the finance always were attributed to Jews due the assumptions that dealing with money was a bad for uneducated Christians.

In either case, it does not matter who at the top, Jews, Christians, Muslims… we are getting screwed one way or another by our own Jesus the Obama and his 12 gaypostoles like Big Ben and little dick G…..

As much as it is there was one.

So other than being in an already inbread process of determining discount rates why is this an important piece of information. I mean a spreadsheet could do thier jobs, and likely does.

It was the most moronic choice I have ever made, It mattered very little to my bottom line and left me a social retard. But at least I do have a basic understanding of finance, something which most engineers are left without. I do travel a lot as a consultant to shipping companies, as such posting here is not always a wise decision. But being in the USA right now I feel free to do so.  So three new cb's I do not see the import of this. The FRB is an automiton with very little in the way thought. They go by the book of milton and look no further than one quarter ahead no matter what they say. If Obama had a clue he would draft reggie middleton to solve this problem.

Can anybody refute the FACTS? Doubt it! Sure there are others along for the ride....but really now, who IS in control?        Time's up!  BTW Just as Catholics can't be blamed for the Mafia...so too jews can't be blamed for the neo-con zionists. Though in both cases they are sometimes indistiguishable!

Read this about the early 'fed'.  Great read, I bet you will like it!  They use forgotten words like "Shylockery". It's awesome!

Sure there are others along for the ride....but really now, who IS in control?        Time's up!  BTW Just as Catholics can't be blamed for the Mafia...so too jews can't be blamed for the neo-con zionists. Though in both cases they are sometimes indistiguishable!

Pretty thinly veiled, Johnny.  On one hand, you sympothize with the idea of people/groups being all lumped in together (admirable), but you start out your post with -

 

"Maybe they need all those people because fed meetings are conducted in Yiddish?" 

 

What are you really trying to say, Johnny?  We've seen all of the "reference" material before.  What are YOU really trying to communicate here?

"I must say I am a Historian."

Let me explain some history. 2000 years ago The Chief Lawyer made a decision to destroy the people of Jews - all of them. From His point of view that was an adequate verdict for all their sins. According to the contract (vow, an oath) between God and jews people, this could be done via an open public COURT.

The Son of The Chief Lawyer was strongly AGAINST that decision and proposed to be himself an ADVOCATE ("parakletos" in greek), not a prosecutor on that Court. The Son has found 11+1 men, who have listened to Him during the Court, and therefore (in a view of a history of Sodom and Homorra), the Chief Lawyer decided to punish (kill by the hands of Rome' pagans) only HALF of the jews people (it was more than 1 million dead from 2+ million of total jews in Judea), and to DELAY the Main Decision for 2000 years. All those 2000 years from Pontius Pilate's times - the jews people lived in a "galut" (diaspora) mostly (90%) in christianic countries, within the followers of those 11+1, under the protection of The Son of the Chief Lawyer and His Teaching.

Now the time is over.

Aa a result of a 5-years court (if you know russian language you can read it on the main russian-speaking forum board of Israel: http://forum.souz.co.il , no censorship there at all) the Jews people of modern Israel got Capital punishment (death penalty). Years before the end of this Court the jews people were warned numerous times and then additionally got a deepest drought in history of modern Israel. Amazingly, they did not listen to God, but ... established .. a new TAX ON WATER (!). Please note that in a strong concordance with the Contract, established 3000 years ago, the jews people of modern Israel were warned - about the coming deepest world financial crisis as early as in 2007, were warned - about drought as early as a year before it, were warned as early as in 2007 - about up-coming anti-semitism all over the world and the roles of Goldman Sachs, jewish financial elite of USA in a world crisis. All warnings are still there, with dates - on forum board SOUZ, you can read them.

They rejected all warnings. They did not listen (or pretended of not-listening, figuring out how to make profits from the predictions).

And as the "country USA" is a strong supporter of modern Israel, God decided to punish the USA as well - for the USA' own sins, including computer idolatry, an oil idolatry, other idolatries, other sins.

The punishment started on 15-Sept-2008, when Israel' Highest court BAGAZ found "guilty" the innocent 70-year woman Isabella Belfer.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabella_Belfer

Short list of USA' sins was published in comments on well-known site: Smartmoney.com on 28-Sept-2008:

http://www.smartmoney.com/investing/stocks/ultimate-cost-of-bailout-coul...

As a part of His punishment, God made a withdrawal of all wisdom from the heads of US' leaders, including jewish financial elite, made them almost brainless, made them mentally blind.

Do You now understand what is going on?

I wonder if the safartic(SP?) friends of mine are invited. Maybe I will regret calling my friend a 'fucking jew' when she told me that there are arabs in the 'jewish army'. Or maybe you are too ignorant to see that the accountant does not own the building. Get a grip man, yes there is some stupidity involving isreal on the part of american jews. Religion is stupid. But compared to what the Queen of England has all the wealth of every jew on the planet is put to shame. Personally I do not blame a lot of them for being paraniod. After all it is not paranoid if they are out to get you. Hell four years ago I was hanging out with some guys from Ingersol Rand in Dalian China, took them two weeks to figure out I was an outsider. Guess what thier great jewish conspiracy was?  to make drill bits. You know what they were scared of? Idiots that wanted to kill them. Sounds perfectly rational to me. As far as the reserve bank goes it is as always a servant to the body politic, congress and the president in this country. They do what they are told. The USA embarked over the last 30 years on a project of missdevelopement on the scale of the old soviet union. We built cities and towns where none should ever have been built. Phoinix Arizona beening a prime example. This was not done by jews, it was done by idiots. The most prominent being Jonson, Nixion, Ford, Carter. Followed by the true fools that set it off Regan, Bush, Clinton, Bush. Obama ranks as the latest bridge seller in this hustle, No worse or better than the last one. But definately not jewish.

"Don't pay him any mind... more than likely an AIPAC plant here to disrupt the comments and call people haters.

It is what "they" do, whether he is officially affiliated or not.

Maybe I am wrong, but I have been reading, but not posting comments on ZH for a very long time and have not noticed posts of his. But now the "J" word is used, half of the posts are his, bashing people and calling names.

Would love it if there was no discrimination and a complete blending of people in this world ... that is not the case."

 

 

Just in case there is anyone out there who hasn't figured out what VI is doing when VI does a number like this, please take a close look at this thread. Listen to what is being said - top to bottom.

 

Ignorance, blind misplaced hatred, bigotry, anti-semitism, etc., tends to run like a viral strain through the words of Zero Hedge on occasion.  Many ignore it.  Some are reviled by it and leave the site.  Some choose to read but not contribute.  Some just take one look and have had enough.

Normally, I am just a wisecracking student of ZH. But when the conversation turns viral and I see that it's the same people, or worse, new additions who are espousing their usual blather, it becomes a game for me. A game of "draw out the hater." You know who you are.  You spend most of your time presenting interesting thought - and then you go and piss away credibility. 

Is it my job? No. Conscience? No.  It just happens that I can't stand liars, cheaters, and dog shit eaters. 

BTW - For those who haven't heard me say this before, I am Jewish.  No religion, No affiliations, no agenda.  Just another VI who cares about their fellow man and woman.  Game on.

Strongest anti-semit (whatever this word means) is God now. You can not win a court versus Him.

Just as i thought Idiot, you didn't (couldnt honestly) answer the question about the FED appointees and instead returned to your truth hating ways and start insulting people again calling them things like  liars, cheaters, and dog shit eaters. I notice a nasty trait of yours where you descend into even more vile insults as your pathetic argument gets more and more unwinnable.

Game on you say! Well we just played one and guess what? You lost!

better luck next time!

There are bad people in the world, HJ.  Jews, Christians, Muslims, et. al.  And then there are the people who hate simply because of color or sexual orientation.  You could call them "bad" too. I consider "Liars, cheaters, and dog shit eaters" as a term of endearment for "bad," "hateful" people.  This is all a very simple explanation for you because it's early and I'm still waking up over here.

So you win buddy.  What, I have no idea. 

 

EDIT: No one is reading this as it has moved to page three, but HJ has made a point that needs to be clarified.  I don't hate the misguided (and sometimes right) on this site. And words like "bad" don't even apply. To the contrary, I am amused.  That's not to say that there are some people in this world who don't deserve to be hated, but on ZH, it would be hard identify the truly repugnant.  largely because most of the more egregious posts are hidden behind anonymity, and tend to be exaggerated.  For those who carry anger over, whatever, I sympathizewith you - I carry anger too.  But I do not carry anger for those who are haters of race, religion, color, or sexual orientation - you carry enough on your own.

 

VI out.

"Paradegoyim", or "Parade Gentiles" was the name given to non-Jewish figurehead CEOs of banks and insurers in antebellum Austria and Germany. No need for that in the US, it seems.
