The Council Of Foreign Relations Apologizes For The "Greenspan Glitch"
Last week, we brought to the public's attention a controversial 'missing' section from the official transcript of Alan Greenspan's interview last with the Council of Foreign Relations where he dared utter his honest opinion that, "Gold is a currency. It is still, by all evidence, a premier currency. No fiat currency, including the dollar, can match it." Well, it turns out the reason for the practically heterical section's omission was "a glitch in the live stream" and CFR has apologized and posted the full transcript. Interesting coincidence that this gold-loving, Bernanke-denying section was the only one to be hit by the 'glitch'; we are confident it's mere coincidence...
CFR has apologized...
To Whom It May Concern
Thank you for pointing out the gap in the video and transcript of our October 29 meeting with Alan Greenspan.
The error was the result of a glitch in our live stream. Full-length CFR event video, audio, and transcripts are posted unedited.
We have reposted the video and transcript of the event.
The audio, which was posted without gaps on October 29, can be found here.
Please excuse the inconvenience.
Regards,
Jake

Thanks Jake. And we most certainly understand: transcript "glitches", especially when the former Fed Chairman is praising gold over the US Dollar, happen all the time. You are excused.

Banksters always lie, this is who they are.
+0.5 for truthiness, +0.5 for avatar.
You guys and gals ain't gonna believe this, but a communications guy by the name of Jake Meth, who signed that letter, is a real person, not a joke. In the event you might want to contact him directly to verify his existence, his email, as shown on the CFR website is: E-mail: jmeth@cfr.org
PS I had nothing to do with this.
Jake Meth, huh?
Yeah...from Heisenberg U.
No, no, no...it's Jake...from State Farm.
Of the Methanyahoo tribe.
Jake Meth. Now they're really just fuckin' with us all.
If you listen carefully, it sounds like Greenspan is actually saying gold is THE premier currency, not A premier currency. And if you consider the rest of his sentence - that no other currency can match it - that makes more sense than saying it's just a premier currency.
That's his porn name.
An American, not US subject.
My porn name is "Where Is It." I don't get much work.
GOOD ONE!
MY 'porn name' is "Too Fucking Big".
Lots of work, but hard to complete the scene when the bitches run in fear. I keep promising that I'll only put the tip in, but even THAT scares them...
That's methed up.
Don´t meth with my friend meth.
I am always willing to believe in innocent co-incidences. Well, sometimes. well, once in awhile. Maybe not this time tho.
I have it on good authority his wife's name is Crystal.
"Krystal".
'Crystal' is like a name that just hangs around, like a chandelier.
Sure you're not referring to "Kristel", as in Sylvia?
Just checkin since most your drunken drivel almost always includes your preoccupation with sex.
"So you fired him?"
"No, we just fixed the glitch."

If there was a glitch in the live stream then how come it was available on certain sites to hear?

The CFA is apologizing purely because it got caught out.

I was busy producing pre-paid Internet cards for when net neutrality hits.
But will they offer prepaid troll cards?
IIRC Greenspan said gold is THE premier currency, not A premier currency.
That's not the most famous 'Greenspan Glitch' in recent times. I believe it was October 23, 2008 while Greenspan and Waxman were going at it when all the lights went out during the House Oversight Committee.
Anyone else remember it? It was an extremely weird moment...

sorry for double post
misquote by Tyler:
Alan Greenspan said "...the premier curency", not ... a premier currrency" per both the audio and corrected transcript.
Words matter! "the" distinctly means, as he explains, "no fiat currency , including the dollar, can match it ".
Whole paragraph quote:
" Economists are usually perfect in equivocating. In this case I didn't equivocate. Look, remember what we're looking at. Gold is a currency. It is still by all evidences the premier currency where no fiat currency, including the dollar, can match it. And so that the issue is, if you're looking at a question of turmoil, you will find, as we always have in the past, it moves into the gold price."
Truth is treason in a fascist, police state.
Speaking of treason, lets start with the CFR membership itself.
No biggie, they'll just erase fromt he records afterwards.
Australian parliament does it all the time.
You might be interested in an Australian take on Greenspan's comments:

I wonder how many people know much about the CFR and its influence. I'm sure many ZeroHedge regulars are familiar with them but for those who aren't yet as clued up on the CFR, the following is a decent primer:

It is Remembrance Day today. So lest we forget that Governments are criminals that, if left unchecked, will take the people to war to enrich themselves and preserve their entitlements.
Let me know when it's the Queen's Birthday. I'll be down on Manly Beach, shooting off homemade bottle rockets like I used to do in the 1960's. DAMN, that was fun when I was a child!
They used to have these two hydrofoil crafts, named the 'Fairlight' and the 'Manly', that made the run into Sydney in about 15 minutes.. the six regular ferries took almost an hour. They hawked 'Ginger beer' at the quays.
Jake Meth? Well, there you go.
Jake Meth? What are you people? On Dope?
Well Wilcox, I'll tell you, gold's not a sport, it's a way of life, it's no hobby. It's a way of looking at that shiny brick and saying, "Hey bud, let's party!"
Well now it makes sense, i.e. Jake as the "Communications Coordinator" for the CFR...direct quote..
"I enjoy making complex international issues understandable and accessible to a wide audience. The world outside our borders is often presented as frightening and unpredictable, and through my work I strive to encourage critical thinking about pressing global developments and the impact of U.S. foreign policy on other cultures."

That, no doubt, 100 fucking percent, was a quote written by a communications, sales and marketing expert type.
Who you talkin' to?

No fucking kidding, Jake?
Yeah, Jake
What's Jake wearing?
He looks like me might be on meth

He could have at least gone with Jake Heisenberg.

Back to the kim k game app. I need some milk with my coffee.
Jake Meth?
Seriously?
Meth face is too common for the public. They had to change it up. Next will be Bob Crack.
They were pretty fucked up at the last Bohemian Grove meeting when they decided to give him that public persona. It seemed funny at the time.
It must be short for Jacob Methstein
Looks like I'm closer to the mark than first thought. Check the nose on that fucker. Self-chosenite for sure.

It ain't fraud/cheating unless they catch you.
Even then you can usually spin yourself out of trouble because the general public doesn't actually want to hear the truth.
Well that was sure nice of them. I guess I will start trusting them now. </sarc>
When I clicked this article I thought it would be someone apologizing for Alan Greenspan.
A disturbance in the farce.
These are not the portions of the missing transcript you are looking for.
They probably couldn't stand looking at Greedspittle so they deleted the video of his puckered old ass. Not even sure how they can stand listening to him.
Old Greenspank really slapped the wood to Benjamin ' gold isn't money ' Shalom Bernanke, circa 2011. They're tripping over each other now. A good sign.
"So, in summary, students, the Great Depression of 2014-2022 was caused largely by a handful of rogue traders, and various glitches in an overly complex system. Luckily, lessons have been learned as a result, and there is good reason to believe that the economic system is now very robust."
"Turn the page, and you see there a picture of various human heads on poles. This was a very effective approach."
Let me put it this way, if Greenspan or anyone affiliated with a Bank of any kind is pushing gold and telling you to buy gold.
The last thing you should do is buy gold (right now).
Wait till after they finish fucking everyone over, THEN buy the gold ;P....
These guys are criminals after-all . . .
He is not telling you, he's telegraphing the insiders that they are getting ready to kill the Dollar.
Look up Christine Lagarde's speech on the number 7.
Un-fucking "real"!
Especially when one of it's most important minions can admit he was involved in making this happen which led to this!
Guess some truths are more sacred in terms of cover up then others!!!
How these fuck wads can say such a thing with a straight face is amazing...must be a natural-born talent.
Meanwhile, Kingworldnews.com and Jim Sinclair are still pumping gold...from ca. $1900 to all the way below $1200. Just like the South, it'll rise again!
Meanwhile, Kingworldnews.com and Jim Sinclair are still pumping gold...
No inflating mechanisms required. It sells itself and that's why the Western CB establishment is so worried!
Since 2007 investors in Citi have lost 95%......and you can slag Gold with a straight face?

Now someone explain to me again how printing more paper devalues the price of something that comes from the ground in finite quantity that costs money and time to produce that has been recognized as "money" for 5,000 years?...
It's funny. The bullion bank posts yellow and black signs on a major thoroughfare in my town and they advertise that they will pay a premium for GLD at $1,300 a troy ounce and SLV at $25.00 an ounce in the last two days alone?!!! Now what did the price for gold and silver finish at today and all of last week???!!!!
Yeah my thoughts exactly!...
Must have been a misprint with the "asking price" on those signs?!!! But it's kinda funny how they always post a 12% difference in price for anything other than scrap!!!!
Beware the anti-Capitalist Central Bankers.
The creative destruction of Capitalism has been stopped from working since 1999.
This creative destruction happens mainly in recessions when bad debt and bad companies are wiped out, cleansing the system for new growth and new companies.
With no bad debt being wiped out since 1999, we are drowning in a sea of debt.
We have a financial sector full of the incompetents that caused the crash of 2008.
We have zombie banks and zombie companies kept alive by cheap money from Central Banks with no room for fresh new companies to thrive.
If we cared to remember how Capitalism works, the current situation is entirely predictable.
Central banks have stopped the creative destruction that is Capitalism.
The joos are on damage control. This gold/silver smackdown is getting old. I am running out of dry powder. I may have to start using gun powder.
Peak oil getting old, too.
Yep. Still a Keynesian like he's always been. I don't know where people think he's gotten in touch with his inner "austrian". No fucking way an Austrian speaks or writes like that.
I will have all you ZH'ers know that I personally went to the CFR website, looked up their editors email address, and sent her an email to the effect that they missed it.
No doubt I am on the terminate with extreme prejudice list.
And no, I received no reply.
Don't be using any nail guns in your hot tub.
Nothing says trust/faith in information distribution, like exchanges and networks spontaneously shutting down.
How much faith you can place in market platforms, and news distribution networks that seem to be HIGHLY lacking redundancy?
Obviously that's not the problem in most cases. This broken system has resorted to these tactics, in order to keep control.
At some point the " Little Boy Who Cried Wolf" one too many times will come home to roost.
What is the CFR anyway? One big NWO propaganda operation.
Quite right, WB7.
Although Jake Meth, the "Communications Coordinator", sounds like an amateur when it comes to communicating propaganda.
I wonder if he really exists, or if he is another Linda Green, the TBTF banks' foreclosure robot. If he does, then somebody ought to tell him that it's a bad idea to insult your audience by telling them obvious lies.
That ain't the way to get ahead at the CFR, Jake. Tell us lies that we can believe in, man!
It was a glitch revealing the future. Welcome to fascism.
So in this case of obvious damage control the errand boy for the Phoenician grocery clerks is an Egyptian former freelance journalist with a last name that is "German and Jewish (Ashkenazic)" - ancestry.com?
Wasn't James Foley also a freelance journalist until he starred in a fake extremist beheading video?
If Jake Meth is out of the office contact his boss Johnny Heroin
"Please excuse the inconvenience."
Would that be the inconvenient truth or the inconvenient lie?
James Foley, freelance journalist = Inteligence asset.
First Greenspan saying Gold is money and now Carney is saying no more bank bailouts,
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/11220192/Mark-Carney-No-more-bank-bail-outs.html
I never thought I would agree with central bankers like this.
The rush amongst high-profile assholes to get on record in an effort look less awful after the impending crash is palpable. Tick-tock.
I wonder what Yellet is going to say .... Inflation is your friend.
The glitch GREENSPAN engineered,,,,,,
Dear Americans, We are destroying your economy in many fashions but we did not want you to realize it until we were finished. Please do not buy gold. Please carry on as if nothing is wrong. Our Ponzi scheme is about to be "PULLED" and we need your cooperation so we can extract the remaining wealth of your nation and reinvest it in China - Our new BFF
Fuck you very much, The Cult of Foreign Degenerates
Nixon had a few of those Glitches also, blamed it on his poor secretary, till people found out they were overlapping.
for humor i went to my coin dealer and asked if he had any Silver dollars for sale and what was he asking, he said he wasn't selling.
on my way out i said No Problem Man, I wouldn't sell either
The local coin shop here in NoDak told me he almost felt sorry for the people he was buying from and advised all of them to avoid it if at all possible. I think many CS owners feel that way. He wasn't selling silver. Of course he has another business to rely on and that isn't often the case for CS owners. This current paper price is clearly not reality.
If the banks don't want me to know about it then that's reason enough for me to stock up on gold.
Fuck You CFR, your terminated.
Nobody listens to that old crackpot anyway.
J.Meth was in a crack Interpol narcotics sniffer unit and went deep deep undercover, until now! How's it hanging Jake , you fucking snake?
I'd like to thank the folks pounding down the price of silver. I just replenished my sweetheart's supply of 20 gauge silver sheet for her silversmithing work. It will bring great pleasure to both of us.
Oh, so the letting out of the "truth" by Greenspam was a "glitch" which needed to be put into context? Go fuck yourselves CFR!! Lying fidouchebags.
Hey Jake, It's OK. We have the propaganda down to a 24 hr news cycle. And it's now, what, over a week since the broadcast?
Go ahead with the apology. No-one will notice, much less care!
whatever is Gold will be traded above 1400 by February 2015
Guy's last name is "Meth"?
So I guess his subordinates are Bonghit, Speedball, and Mainline?
