Janet Yellen Is Confirmed As Next Fed Chair
Update: the final vote came out to 56 Yes and 26 No, after supposedly someone moved from the No to the Yes pile. It also seems that quite a few senators missed the final vote due to the weather, which means Bernanke's record of 30 No votes stands untouched for now.
With the critical 50th Yes vote just being cast, Janet Yellen has officially become the first woman to head the central bank in its 100 years of existence. The vote continues, and the only question now is whether the current tally of 27 No votes will surpass the Bernanke record of 30 objections to the central bank head.
Below is the official statement by the Vice Chair of the Joint Economic Committee on the Yellen confirmation vote:
Statement from JEC Vice Chair Klobuchar on the Confirmation of Janet Yellen as the Next Chair of the Federal Reserve
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement after the Senate voted to confirm Janet Yellen to serve as the next Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System:
“Janet Yellen’s wealth of experience directing policy at the Federal Reserve and her longstanding reputation as one of the country’s most highly esteemed economists make her well-qualified to serve as Federal Reserve Chair, and as the first woman to hold the post she will also be an inspiration to young women everywhere. I look forward to working with her as we focus on strengthening our economy.”
Yellen will succeed current Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke when his term ends on January 31st, and will be the first woman to fill the top role at the Federal Reserve in its 100 year history.

I hear lots of cheering and clapping in the front of the room where the Tribe sits and their Congress Muppets, the rest of America is watching Tribe TV, and the real people, those that read ZH are groaning and making their SHTF plans in advance.
Oh good. They did the democratic thing and voted. Glad to see we have democracy in progress and the selection wasn't fixed at all.
"We need some Nays for the blogosphere Pete. Can't have this thing go through and have all Yay's. Flip John and email and do a 2/3 to 1/3 split or so to be believable."
Why do they even vote? The Federal Reserve Bank has no oversight!

Hey, Tylers! How about a roll call so we can see who voted in favor of him, so we know who not to vote for in the next election.
Roll Call
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=2&vote=00001
WTF...what's the difference between Nay and Not...
"Why do they even vote? The Federal Reserve Bank has no oversight!"
For the same reason that James Clapper and Keith Alexander went through confirmations, to give the illusion that the NSA and CIA are accountable. We all know that isn't true. They are independent of all government oversight.
This thing has become so criminal, these Tribal rats are riding this ship down stripping the USA of all they can steal until it goes underneath the water and nobody can trace the deeds of their thefts.

Yellen is doing rearguard action for the Tribe Rat Pack
Mr. Bernanke shows Congress who's in charge.

Sen. Bernie Sanders: "Will you tell us who got the money?"
Bernanke: No!
Any questions???
If you criticize the Fed you are a SEXIST!

She is probably going to be the one in charge when the SHTF and the FED finally loses control. People only remember/blame the current person in charge, not the previous people who created the mess. My guess is Yellen will be a cuss word in a decade or two.
They usually use the entrance of the new Fed head to toss the markets into turmoil (Greenspan 1987, Bernanke 2008) That way they can say that it is uncertainty as to how the new leadership will be able to handle things. So we could see a meltdown over the next year or two
TPTB put a half-black man in charge for the shit to go down politically, so why not put a half-woman in charge for the fucked-up economic times? All works perfectly to plan.
I'm long base metals and delivery devices, food and water, arable farmland, and then the precious metals.
Half-woman -- haha! That is hilarious.
Okay as for the politically correct mind police, I say all insults, sexist or otherwise are fair game for this horrible whore of a woman. Ben and Allen were whores too and we called them that.
I Dogmete, am a 55 year old chick and I say have at it guys! Let the insults rain!
Shit has been going down since forever. It's called slow boil. I can see the avalanche of news celebrating the new chairwoman just because he is a woman. Can anybody think of a bigger distraction? What's next, illegal immigrant gay to be venerated as the president of ussa? Hold on a minute ... Oh nevermind. Maybe a horse as a vice president? Ah, or maybe for the state secretary...
Combine some memes...
Half Woman? I demand a Chromasome test. Even those East German Shot Putters put Ugly Yellen to shame.
Careful or you're going to get francis_sawyered by the hyper sensitive mind police up in this mug.
Oy vey, my balls!
That fuckin' bitch...no surprise that she got confirmed, though. Kurva.
Pica!
yeah!
Pica!
Good thing she is an old hag. Imagine un-tapering when she was on her period?
what a job to inherit! she will be remembered alongside the captain of the Titanic.
i'm smellin yellin
edit: NOT!!
Does C U Next Tuesday fit here?
Pssst...She's a MAN in a womans body .........
She is Dr. Evil's long lost sister (austin Powers)
So, follow me, it's like we get our jollies by giving her our money, and then she spends it, or gives our money back to us.
That's basically the pure fiat/ponzi right ?
And we don't see it ?
So Ben was Helicopter Ben. What can we come up for Yellen?
Yellin Screamin'
Hell in Yellin
Yellecopter!
Yellenator!
Ain't buyin' what Yellen is sellin'! Stop fuckin' Yellen!
If the economy tanks, I'm looking forward to all the "Should go back to the kitchen" jokes.
If?
When you're Yellen you should be sellin.
Why, does she need to scold the cook?
Best Ive seen so far is "Mrs DebtFire" (not my line).
I am working "American Horror Story: Coven". They get wookie, Hill, Yell, and Sebelious...all in black robes. Coven. They open the crack of hell on opening night. One of them takes the role of Whore of Babylon and they rotate which one will kick the crack wider each week. They have occasional vists by Ben, Jamie, and Hank. Its graphic goth. They might even get some cracks going in Street or City.
Ol' Yeller
I can't wait for the woodshed scene! ;)
I affectionately will refer to her as Felon Yellen. And by affectionately I mean I hate her criminal zionist guts!
I think Herr Colonel might be holding back a bit. Just a guess...
She was "chosen" by birth.
was she born in Hawai or some place outside the US?
Wow! That was a surprise
Grandma (Gramdpa?) Yellen is going to give her little Grandkids all of the cookies they can eat and then some - so of course they invited her over for dinner.
Useful idiot
I propose a Zerohedge chipin for the following gift: http://tinyurl.com/ph57n

How is everyone so sure that Yellen is a woman? You can't tell by just looking at it......waittaminnit, don't tell me how y'all know, I don't think I wanna hear it.....
.....i'm going to go take a shower.
Good thing they parted the ways to prevent a filibuster last month...they can play games on Drones and Obamacare theatrics because they will not amount to anything in relation to the continuation of the game but once they recognized that Rand could prevent confirmation and put the Fed in the MSM spotlight they showed their hand as to who is really inchage behind the scenes and the right phone calls were made to prevent that from coming to pass.
It would have been a catastrophe if only that people heard the words Federal Reserve too many times while having their meatloaf at 5pm.
Everyone celebrate. A woman in charge. Things will be different now /sarc
I can see it now; HIllary and Yellen meeting to address high interest rates and the riots in Shantytown.
Bill will NOT be at the meeting, he will be chasing a cheeseburger or a skirt, or both.
Al Gore will be at the head of the Department of Energy or the E.P.A.
Vince Foster and Ron Brown will jangle their chains in the night.
Are you talking about a XXX porn film or a Frankenstein remake?
OoooooooKay!
I formally oppose...
and
I informally state Yellen Must Immediately Retire,
or there could be grave consequences for the U.S. currency.....
Don't say you weren't warned! :(
I second that motion
Because there is a certain power to words and if it is not stated then certain universal laws and forces are held back
So, let 'er rip boys!
but i thought that was Bullish for pedicure and manicure products!!!!
You can formally oppose all you like.
TPTB formally don't give a fuck.
BEn can now tell all you ZH guys like Nixon said : You won't have me around to punch anymore...Adios, Benfrankenfiat
I can just imagine Ben going home, closing, locking and leaning back on the door behind him. Taking out his handkerchief. Wiping his forehead and saying, "Phew! That was close one! Now SHE can hang for all this!"
Brilliant move by the PTB. If you criticized Greenskank or Berskanky, you were merely an Anti-Semite. Criticize Janet Felon, and you are an Anti-Semite, a misogynist and anti-gay/transgender/asexual (not sure which she is), all at the same time!
This is Pat .
Fucking feminist. I still think it was a grand plan if the Tribe.

How copy?
The issue of anti-Semitism and the obvious domination of America’s financial and political systems by Jewish families must be dealt with in the very near future if America’s free enterprise representative government society is to survive.
Surely, anti-Semitism reached a pinnacle in Adolph Hitler’s rule. And his key points began to be made connecting Jews to an international conspiracy. Over the top as he was in his fiery denunciation of Jews, his points hit home with many Germans who had experienced the financial domination by Jewish families and the waves of Bolshevism coming into Germany from Russian-based Communists, primarily Jews.
Here is one of many depictions of Hitler’s anti-Semitism as related by John Toland, Adolph Hitler, Volume I, Part 2: In the Beginning Was the Word, 4. Birth of a Party, page 108:
“For the first time in public, Hitler charged that the Jewish conspiracy was international and that their advocacy of equality of all peoples and international solidarity was only a scheme to denationalize other races. Previously he had called the Jew despicable, immoral and parasitic; tonight the Jew was a destroyer, a robber, a pest with the power to ‘undermine entire nations.’ Hitler called for an all-out struggle to the death.”— Hitler’s quotes from a mass meeting in Munich’s famous Hofbrauhaus, Friday, the thirteenth of August 1920
The Nazi's displayed large banners on the Hofbrauhaus walls.
They yelled, "Herren unt Dammen, Der Juden sind unserer ungleuk."
Gentlemen and Ladies, the Jews are our bad luck.
imo, that's a mighty awful piece of direct propagda and sinister sublimital pursuasion.
Luck is cognate with magic, magic with mystery, mystery with mysticism, mysticism with religion.
Given that religion is inherently divisive, 'Jews are our bad luck' seems to encourage a disguised religious war.
Oddly jews have been ostracized from a large number of nations over history. I'm sure it's just people's anti-semitism getting the best of them. It could NEVER be their actions of greed and ambition to control.
THEY cause the problems, then whine about being society's pariahs.
Boy that was too close to call
Her "job" will be to ride this bitch down, turn off the lights and 'return.'
"Happiness is a warm head in a basket."
Trying to fit a short person on a guillotine is an executioner's nightmare.
Shouldn't be an issue, just butt the top of their head against the "headboard" and let'er rip!
A nikka then this!
gg'
just in case wondered if all of a sudden she was not jewish? maybe all this anisemitic talk is bare nonsense... oh, she's jewish. what a surprise..
If she gets a heart attack while shes in charge, who takes over?
Stanley Fischer, ex IMF, ex World Bank, ex head of the Bank of Isreal. You don't really think i'il ol' Miss Yellen goin' be runnin' shit now y'all? Lil Miss Yellen do wat she tol'. That's my story an' I'm stickin' to it.
Does she know how to drive and have a drivers license ? or does she just have a driver ?
The Israeli Vice Chair.
edit: mess beat me to it.
Sure won't be a Mexican American that is for sure. Why even in LA they got a Jew from Mexico to be Mayor. Under the Jew chokehold you can't have any of your own at the head of the table, only members of the Tribe allowed.
What a JEWTOCRACY we live in, they are sending in TRIBE members from ISRAEL to run the operation. I can see why Adolph called them *&@### Parasites
It's not only mein Fuhrer. Check your history! They've been a pariah throughout history.
The only thing that is confirmed is that the Congress of the United States has decided to choose the bankers over the people. Some are blackmailed, of course, for their many private sins; and some are rewarded with trips, cash and titles. But the real question: How many are honest men and why in the name of Heaven are they not standing to reveal the truth of what they know?
What planet are you living on? There are no honest people in the us congress.
The honest men are being awfully quiet. They are as duplicitous as only weak men can be.
This is awesome! I didn't even know that Benny Hill was still alive, and on top of that, he is the new fed chairman!!! Oh wait, that's a woman?
That has to be Benny Hill. See the pictures side-by-side:
http://www.choppersurplus.com/images/biker-jokes/benny%20yellen.jpg
Absolutely awesome. And runner-up: Dr.Ruth.
Haha. That is worth the click... good one.
Wow, best link of the day!
She is a staunch believer in the modern version of the Phillips curve. Which is roughly like being a staunch believer in the modern version of the Ptolemaic system.
I see negative rates....
Poisoned Chalice.
The pellet with the poison...
Atomic bombs would do less damage than the FED has done since it's inception.
Kill it before it kills us.
Bake me some cookies, bitch. Not sure why that always makes me laugh.........
Told you so. Past ZH post links today.
She'll be the first and last female fed chairman. Bernanke's mess will crash while she's in charge, they'll attribute it to her being a woman (?), and that's the end. Sort of like how Obama will be the last black president.
That's right. Bernanke's legacy will be her undoing. She will get the blame.
I bet she will be the frist female and the last. She'll be YELLEN when this economy gets sideways soon. Way to go BEN!
Jewish woman at the top - Jewish man as deputy.
I think in the aforementioned religion women are supposed to be subservient.
I wonder who will really be running the show.
Just a thought.
Jewish women subservient? That's a funny one.
According to their book.
haha who lives by their religious book? No one I ever met :)
They certainly do.
We're doomed!
Jewish and Zionist Israeli Dual Citizen.
She's just so qualified :|
Here's her job history
Today was already the "most depressing" day of the year....and now this shit!
Who cares about that old whore-bag?
She'll be the fall-woman for Bernanke and Greenspan.
Abby Joseph Cohen is another ugly woman.
Cee
Uoo
Next
Tuesday
Yellen will state we have to many puppies to redistribute all milk allocations. Interest rates will rise. Obama will chime in, everyone one needs to pay their fair share. Bill Gates & Grandpa Warren will run a campaign to encourage their humanitarian contributions will be % matched to all donors. Clap, clap, clap.. Weeeee.
More bullshit to gather money to wash into a new shell company for foundation purposes. NSA! Can you hear me now?
Primus - Too Many Puppies
Let's get the name straight.
I believe it's "Lee Harvey" Yellen.
Americans will get what they allowed.
DAT BITCH!
I'm sure she'll be just as fine an administrative assistant to Bank of Israel Fischer as she was to Bernanke.
Why are liberals ugly as sin?
I'd rather keep the Chair. It's useful. And get rid of the Fed.
I don't harbor any ill feeling toward Ben Bernanke, the academic. The world is a contest of ideas. I do dislike the institution he served.
A lot of people are quite unhappy about this. Many are very steamed up, even furious. It wouldn't surprise me one bit is someone raised a fuhrer!
Welcome aboard Mr. Yellen. May your womanly self-handed sword drop like bombs when you speak of printing more money to create zero sum math calculations.
Don’t think for one minute we’ll agree on a new government agency to manage a sovereign country under a distressed financial crisis.
Just to be clear, we will shove every signature on the derivatives stock market mess up your ass. These innocent people never signed up for this future obligation.
We’re now playing a game called, king of the mountain. We’ll see how you behave.
Dollar, gold, futures yawn
ITs a good bet Janet will NOT honor the TRI mandate of the Federal Reserve..
Maximum Employment
Stable Prices (2% inflation is NOT in the mandate)
and MODERATE interest Rates...(Zero is not Moderate)
She will continue the self expansion of the powers of the Fed....to FULL BLOWN Central Planners.

In the future, she will be known as TPCY. That's Trillion Platinum Coin Yellen.
