QE4 Arrives: Mystery Drone Rains Money On People In Michigan, Cash-Grabbing Frenzy Ensues
With the Fed's Stanley Fischer yesterday reminding everyone of what Jim "QE4" Bullard said a month ago when he hinted that the Fed may be hiking rates only to slam the economy into a recession thus leading to a prompt rate cut (also known as the top Jean-Claude Trichet trade of 2011) and then launch QE4 promptly thereafter, some have wondered - what will the Fed's next quantiative easing episode looks like?
The reason for the confusion is that in recent public statements, Yellen has expressed a concern with not only market overvaluation but also complacency: which is why using even more Fed reserves to prop up the artificially inflated and ever more illiquid markets would be myopic as it would push stocks even recorder without leading to any economic benefits and certainly no benefits for 90% of the population.
We got a glimpse of just what Yellen has in mind for the next 'monetary transmission mechanism' yesterday, when a mystery drone appeared above the Rosa Parks Circle in Grand Rapids, Michigan and literally rained down money on the people below, leading to what the Mail describes as a "cash-grabbing frenzy."
The drone was recorded hovering above crowds enjoying a family event in Grand Rapids yesterday
Clearly this was merely a small trial of the upcoming monetary paradrop: "Children and adults scrambled to collect the bills as an estimated $100 was released above picnickers, amid suggestions the operators were seen on top of a nearby JW Marriot Hotel."
More:
Witness Melvin Blohm, a creative consultant, told MLive Michigan: 'It was hovering over the center of the circle and after a couple of minutes it dropped what appeared to be money.
'Once people realized the cash was real, they swarmed to pick it up.'
Needless to say, QE4 will be a hit with children... "Unsurprisingly, the stunt proved to be a hit with children who were picnicking at the park with their parents."
But not so much the police:
Sergeant Terry Dixon, from Grand Rapids Police Department, told Fox 17: 'In a situation like this, this looks fun - fun for everyone involved - especially the kids that are out there. There's money dropping from the sky and how often does that happen?
'The problem is that it could become a safety hazard for the kids or the youths that are running to get to the money - they could be crossing the roadway and inadvertently be struck by a car or something like that.'
If the police had problems with $100, they may not like when the sky is covered in drones during the daily POMO operation, when anywhere between $3 and 8 billion falls from the sky.
So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the monetary paradrop. Perhaps someone can ask a Fed official during their endless, daily public appearances on the record just when this beta test will go gold, er, paper.

Umm $100 dollars? the fuck ya gonna do with $100 dollars lol...
Lol Bill of rights is correct. Why don't they start printing 10,000 or even 100,000 bills all ready. Make it mother fucking rain!!!
Don't debt note drone me bro.
Ben is surely the drone operator, finally having his day
No, Ben only gives money to banks.
It's Obamacash, from his personal stash!
Jokes aside, there are many top economists who believe that a direct-to-consumer monetary stimulus program would do wonders for our economy. The evidence shows that when people have more disposable income, they increase their spending, thereby boosting the economy. This effect is what economists refer to as "aggregate demand". So, funny as it may be, this may actually be an excellent strategy to boost our economic growth!
They already get " direct-to-consumer monetary stimulus " its called SNAP and EBT, how much more free shit do you want?
The Nazis thought it was gonna build economic wealth as well with money drops, how that work out? Oh that's right we're different ha ha ha now that's funny.
Word.
We just need the job creators to feel comfortable in spending more of their hard earned money.
Make It Rain Biatches !
Get me BERNANKE! His fingerprints are all over this.
What good is cash? Thought they wanted to get rid of cash?
thank christ the drone did not hit the world trade center...
Nah ! It must have been just a FED test run, you know, for future "easing"...
Why would anyone run around for a few measly $1 bills? I would only pick one up if it landed right at my feet.
What? Pretty sure the NAZI era was how Germany became a world super power out of an immoral inflationary shit hole. Get your shit together ignoramous.
NAZIs are gone, but their enemy and yours is still around sticking it up your ass and you seem to love it.
Germany had 15 seconds of fleeting fame under National Socialism because they were funded by elite bankers. They never were a superpower.
Germany pillaged all the gold out of whichever country they invaded. This is also known as looting if you live in riot prone area.
Clint-bush, 8 more eons!
The Nazis had a very effective jobs program too, with free rides to work.
It pays to have a top notch Human Resources Dept to get the best from your labor personnel.
You said "top economists" and I stopped there.
Yes MDB.
I'll spend my Obamabux on hookers, blow and a snappy new iPhone, courtesy of the NSA.
Forward Soviet!
Then lets just let people keep the money they earn and suspend the individual income tax for the next three years. Much simpler that way.
Never happen. You are talking P&L vs. balance sheet. Most can grasp the concept of a P&L but the balance sheet may as well be invisible. Offset to cash (or rather just more debt) will appear as increasing goodwill. Perfect balance.
Sure, either print up some cash with FED interest thrown on top or take it from the .01%, then dole it out so everyone can buy cheap ass lawn furniture and hammocks at Walmart, manufacturers in China get half, Walmart gets the other half and ceases at that point to circulate through the US economy anyway. Seems like a great plan for economic growth. When can we start?
Its from his stripper fund, not like he wasn't going to spend it.
With Bernenke "Drone" is a verb
I don't expect a repeat of this incident since cash will soon be outlawed. This incident will be cited as one of the reasons why. Children could be struck running across the street trying to get it. And God knows, it always and forever about the safety of the children.
Plus, the kash could slice you in half as it falls from the sky - paper cuts and everything. Dangerous stuff, dat kash.
Should be a busy day @ the liquor stores...

Next step... EBT cards!
I want my 2 dollars!!
Four weeks, twenty papers, that's two dollars. Plus tip!
Or SNAP!
The cop's response is classic. Oh, for the chilluns...they can get...bruised pushing and shoving each other...
I guess the way things are going, pretty soon there will be "authorized" money drop zones, a giant cage with 12 gates and a big 18 foot high chain link fence. And a hopper style money drop with variable pitch and thrust, just like a baseball machine.
I just studied up on Panem et cicenses.....my mind is swimming.
The daily money grab, live on National TV.
No holds barred.

That's not bad, actually. "What happens when culture dies, and there's still meat left".
Meh, Rollerball is more like it.
In 1985 I was offered a blow job by a toothless eskimo man in Anchorage airport bathroom for 25 cents. I expect prices have gone up up a bit now though.
Dunno, thanks to central banking and meth, there's likely a much larger supply of toothless eskimos down on their luck.
They obviously have to learn something from this Russian guy:

After the police expressed safety concerns, in future the QE4 drones will only be dropping the cash in the gardens of TBTF bank CEOs.
"I know it's a shame," said Baron Lloyd Blankcheque, "but I can't argue with the police, they might arrest me."
Because the $999,999,999,900 went already to the .1%.
Screw Obama phones. Now Obama drones!
Some drones surveil you, some drones kill you, some drones give you free money.
Cash or Hellfire?
Got to keep the sheep guessing.
Maybe next time the denominations will be in nickels and quarters and we'll see how the gawkers like their 'money-drop' then.
Make it hail! I'm ballin on a budget, bitch
Or both. Run to the cash... get hellfire...
You got it Supernova. It's like in Brooks, Alberta, years ago. The pheasant farms would feed them by hand until they were ready to be released for the annual pheasant hunting season. The damn things would hop right up on the barrel of your shotgun; all you did was flip'em up and let'em have it. Might work for sheep too.
Slaves.
Some banker fuck with a shitty sense of humor was looking out of a nearby skyscraper with a crew of his sociopath friends, laughing with a hand over his mouth as his buddies say, "oh my god, that's horrible, that's hilarious, you're sick, you're the man, have a bonus."
Make it rain bitchez!
Finster how many times have I told you not to play with the dirty money?
Somebody said this yesterday and it's worth repeating:
Murica has become a fucking freakshow!
Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle with you bitchez ;->

George Carlin said we have the front row seats.
And I said it before, and I'll say it again: "When all human agreements, norms, traditions and bonds are broken, i.e. when the bonds of Family, Community, Nationalism and Race are broken, there is no viable resistance left to organize against the takeover by the Usurpers, the Overlords -- whose name one dares not say w/o the greatest of reverence, lest it become a career-ending move."
If you think we're seeing Global Chaos, you're absolutely right. It is exactly as intended by the Globalist Banksters and Zi'Borgs.
1. Old World Order --> 2. World Chaos --> 3. New World Order
"Unfreeze"
"Change"

Just learned something new. Thx!
Reminds me of Group Formation theories in Project Management, with its Forming, Storming, Norming, Performing (FSNP) model. The hidden Gotcha in it is when a Member joins of leaves the Team, the cycle must be repeated by the PM, to maintain Performance at desired levels.

When I was a kid this one old asshole would come out on his porch and throw candy out on his lawn and laugh his ass off while the kids scrambled around to pick up candy. I would have sworn he was dead by now but...
this is how they shall feed the slaves
This is how they train the slaves. See? Drones aren't so bad.
Just what I first thought.
It's ISIS spreading radiolgically-tainted cash.
Biological would be way worse. Ban cash due to threat of bio contamination. Seems logical if not improbable.
Now you know one of the real reasons why they outlawed silver as money. It is anti-microbial and anti-fungal by nature.
Most people seem to forget or never knew in the first place the way they teach history these days that in the days prior to pasteurization a silver dollar coin was a prized possession and not just as money. When the settlers traveled west they used to keep a silver dollar for the express purpose of extending the drinkable life of milk along with other issues of drinking raw milk by putting one in a milk jar/container.
Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord;
he is trampling out the vintage

his truth is marching on (in Michigan)!
It was Amazon testing drone delivery of toilet paper.
Get Koskinen on the freebies immediatley. Those dollars need to be taxed!!!
The Bernanke had his helicopter, the Yellen has his fleet of drones.
big fuckin deal
Sheeple
That's about right: 23 trillion for the banksters: $100 cash for the people.
I heard displaced Residents from Houston might be sent to New Orleans. I guess that makes sense too.
- UPDATE: Epic rainfall in Texas; Thousands displaced...
- Tests govt emergency response..
- DAM BREAK FEARED...
- HOUSTON: WATCHES/WARNINGS...
That HAARP ain't bein played by angels.
The good people of Houston have been waiting to get rid of their Katrina-related human crime wave since what, 2003? It takes a natural disaster to Mariel-buslift 'em back!
I'll bet you $100 that one can create a situation where people will ignore $100 bills dropping from the sky:
1. Create national/global buzz about an event such as this, that had $100 bills being dropped from a drone chopper.
2. Start dropping very authentic looking but 'fake' $100 FRNs (as opposed to the fraudulent $100 FRNs), and make sure it too gets national/global attention.
3. Keep repeating Step 2 until the Masses become desensitized to these events, and ignore them.
4. You now have a situation where the Sheeple no longer trust Cash, and opt for 'Electronic Money'.
Devious, sinister, but entirely doable. Lest you forget... The Zi'Borg elite never let an Opportunity or Crisis go to waste. If you want to front-run these Creatures, you have to think like these Creatures.
I'll do you one better. Ebola Bills.
Ebolla bolla bills.
....sounds awefully terroristic to me.
Helicopter Ben goes to Helicopter Janet.
Goal is to print down the debt so the dollar is worthless.
I knew saving this link for a rainy day would pay off.
Take on the Economic Challenge. Play the Federatorhttp://www.wsj.com/articles/BL-MBB-2036
they dropped 100 lousy one dollars bills. fucking pikers.
Kinda sad to see American children acting like this - especially when there is no shortage of food or shelter for them. Their parents are obviously tainted so I guess it stands to reason.
their parents are obviously all genetically related.
shit! i live near there and i missed it!
No way you should head down there right now!!!
Printing money is like Drugs!! You just want to keep the party going no matter what even if it kill you!!! Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
See that office tower, some Sociopath is sitting in his expansive office chair with his blow bag buddies saying " watch how I get the ants to scurry " this is all a game to them.
The funny part is the cheap prick only parted with $100 bucks.....
The Appeals court refused to go along with Obama's Amnesty program and the hold on deportations.
Just a few questions on Identity, Credit, Criminal Records, and how you spy on citizens if you can't identify them.
- If I lose my drivers license, social security card, and/or birth certificate... I have to prove who I am through various means
- But an Immigrant can lie about being here as a child, lie about criminal record, get special treatment as a child migrant,... then be found to be a murderer, child molester and other things
Judge says Obama program is Insulting to the Law.
- That sounds right.
- NSA can spy on men and know who I am, but Illegals can get special privileges and even a driver license without any identification.
How can the NSA spy on undocumented workers?? They actually have more privacy than US Citizens.
All of the Borg collective carries cellphones. You've all been assimilated and don't know it yet. I bet no one knows that every single human understands the same secondary language without being conscious of it.
Wouldn't have been as cool if that drone had dropped some kind of explosives. ISIS has infiltrated the United States as you know. Just a matter of time before they're playing remote controlled war games with the populace.
Could it be $100 zimbabwean dollar bills? Wouldn't that be a hoot. Head off to a strip club. The dancers will think there rich.
you can still buy lots of cheap plastics from China with that $100......good , healthy food.....not so much
I played that prank 20 some years ago.
Gives me an idea for the next time I'm at the strippers
I'm banned from strip clubs. Mrs Atomizer would hunt down my ass. It wasn't hard to spot a Black BMW 750iL in the parking lot. It became so humiliating when she continued dragging me out of strip club. Just exited the scene. Became a good boy, rather than being a Santa Claus. Mrs Atomizer was correct. That's why I love her.
Maybe it was China or Russia sending a message.
A crisis of faith.
100.00 in ones. Thats all the physical dollars their bank had.
MDB Dr. Bone Us is back. 1st time I gave a down arrow all year.
Leave it to zerohedge to get the story scrambled.

People at Rosa Parks Circle were scrambling to grab some of the $100 in bills that was being dropped from the sky. It posed a slight safety risk, as parents were running after their children.
The Grand Rapids Police Department called it “trickle down economics.” However, they weren’t notified of the stunt beforehand, and next time, they’d like to be.
A better prank would be to drop job applications for jobs that don't exist.
100 McDonald job applications for the little children.
Soon.
Ben's Helicopter finally arrived
Must watch. Excellent to have three smart guys tell it like it is. 58 minutes well spent. If you really want to understand where we are at monetarily and fiscally (between a rock and a hard place) watch this. And the reason nothing can or will ever be done about it is because there is no political will to get it done. The dumbest of the dumb are running the country at all levels of government and they only pander to the people keeping them in power. Imagine going out on the campaign trail with the message in this video and trying to win the bottom 70% vote. That is why there will be no real progress or solution until we crash through the problem…

Who gives you dem free fones? Who drops da money like Jigga drops albums? Vote for mo free shit!
Now this is the proof that CB`s are reading ZH.
The CB's are terrified motherfuckers. Good!
It's Christmas in May. Dem Washington paper trees really do grow. We see and is thankful that first lady shabaka waters those QE money trees in her vegetable garden.
BEN IS BACK!
Banzai is going to go whacko on this one...
Its an obama-copter
Near the J W Mariott is the perfect place. Only the rich thus continue to have access to "free" money, not the folks who could really us it in run down parts of Detroit, because such areas would be too dangerous for a drone to fly over?
"Those scooping up the cash were promptly tazered and then locked up under suspicions of being terrorists. The local police are already eying a new tank to use the seized cash on. In other news; Zion does not exist..."
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
NORAD Santa Claus sleigh was running a CIA drug deal. Some of the proceeds blew out of the sleigh.
How do you think those reindeer get that heavy sleigh into the sky? A little for Santa, a little for the reindeer, a little more for Santa . . .
"We dropped some money on some folks today...."
Sergeant Terry Dixon, from Grand Rapids Police Department, told Fox 17: 'In a situation like this, this looks fun - fun for everyone involved - especially the kids that are out there. There's money dropping from the sky and how often does that happen?
'The problem is that it could become a safety hazard for the kids or the youths that are running to get to the money - they could be crossing the roadway and inadvertently be struck by a POLICE CRUISER (also looking up to grab da cash) or something like that.'
FIXED
Terry Dixon must live under a rock. He must have missed several decades of Black Friday chaos and riots.

Filled EBT card and mass disorderly behavior. Welcome to Obamaland.
Just wait until someone fixes an AR-15 onto a drone and makes a quick drop over the local park.... or better yet at the G7 meeting....
It's on backorder:

Cannot do. Keep the grainy footage so YouTube can launch UFO stories.

WOW... I can see terrorists grabbing this idea. Fly drone over head...drop boat load of cash...create mass hysteria...open fire on unsuspecting crowd.
Sorry, I will pass on picking up that money.
I once instigated a small riot in NO by standing on the balcony of a strip club throwing cash into the crowd below. Large amounts of cocaine were involved.
it was a dollar bill
After Helicopter Ben now the Octocopter Ben...
The QE would have been more effective and more fun to watch if it was done in this way: imagine a few billions in 100 $ Bills flying above the skies of NY or Washington...
Of course the police had problems with it. They didn't get to shoot their guns.
Abbie Hoffman did it first, and did it better:

California could use some of that money rain to fill the reservoirs of equality and trust that have been drawn down over the past few years.
California resides on the Pacific Ocean. We call them Libtards for a reason. If they can't use ocean water to alleviate drought, let them die by dehydration. Fucking morons.
lol saftyhazard..
Yeah sure they could get struck by a car, or maybe obama bin laden has planted a bomb nearby and just trick ze little poor kids to get closer!
My god, maybe ze terrorists planted ze bomb in ze park even without droping dollar billz from ze sky!!
we must all obey ze police, put ze terrorist drone driver in jail!
Don't be excited. Next drone will take money out of people pockets.
What a cheap way to start a riot - only $100.
Dropping pallets of hundred dollar bills won't exactly be safe.
caligula
Next step, announce cash drop from drone in a designated ghetto, then they drop the canisters of Sarin.
