Tennessee Woman Arrested For Printing Money: "All These Other Bitches Get To Print Money So I Can Too"
In what is either the best example why one should never believe anything they read on the internet, or just blatant frontrunning of the last QE by a few years, earlier this week a woman from Kingsport, Tennessee was arrested for counterfeiting money. That in itself is not surprising - it was her justification why she did it: she told police that she thought she was doing nothing wrong because she had read online that President Barack Obama made a new law allowing her to print her own money.
Pamela Downs, 45
TimesNews reports that police were called to a local grocery store on Sunday night in regards to a complaint about counterfeit money. When the reporting officer arrived, he spoke with a gas station clerk who said that just prior to the officer's arrival, a white female had handed him a $5 bill, which he suspected to be counterfeit.
Since the bill had been printed on regular computer paper and each side had been glued together (but was falling apart), the officer immediately recognized the bill as a fake.
The officer spoke with the female, identified as Pamela Downs, 45. After initially responding that she had gotten the fake bill from a gas station, Downs was asked by the officer if her purse could be searched, to which she agreed. Inside her purse, the officer found a $100 which was also counterfeit, according to the report. The bill was printed in black and white and the backside of the bill was upside down.
A couple of receipts from Walmart were also found inside the purse, showing Downs had purchased copy paper and a printer.
At that point she was arrested, and she gave the best money-counterfeiting "defense" we have heard in a long time:
"I don't give a ****, all these other bitches get to print money so I can too."
It was not immediately clear which "bitches" she was referring to.
The police then searched the apartment and found several items consistent with being used to print counterfeit currency including paper, scissors, glue and a printer. Several more counterfeit bills, both cut and uncut, were located at the apartment. Officers estimated the total to be around $30,000 to $50,000.
While at the jail, Downs reportedly told the officer the receipts that were found were items she used to print money in her apartment.
And back to the rationalization: "She then told officers she read online that President Obama had made a new law that permitted her to print her own money because she is on a fixed income, the report stated."
She was charged with criminal simulation and counterfeiting.
While there are literally countless angles one can go with this story, maybe the best conclusion is that if only she had waited a few more years before printing her own money with the "president's blessing", all of this unpleasantness could have been avoided.

I stand by my accusation.
So you are still on your knees licking Neocon anus?
You must like the taste of shit.
Yes, I thought early on that some of the most prolific posters were either Left-Handers and/or CAIR rectum snooters. Of course, I don't want to leave out the Buchenwald Oven Operators Union.
How about the Dachau Auto Workers Union?
Over your head falconflight? No curiousity?
Typical.
The Dachau Concentration Camp was set up right next to a Fordwerkes Motors factory, owned and operated during World War II, by Ford Motors, in order to fabricate German Wehrmacht Armor.
Imagine the surprise when American troops landed on the beaches on Normandy and found out, at times fatally, that the prisoners interred at Dachau were fabricating weapons for the Germans, in order that they were to be used to kill Americans.
Imagine the surprise when Americans discovered that the PARTS from German Armored Vehicles were INTERCHANGABLE with American Armored Vehicles.
Yes..."The Dachau Auto Workers Union"...manufacturing machinery to slaughter those who were coming to liberate them.
Now if that is not ironic then I do not know what is.
Perhaps it is just an inconvenient fact that you want forgotten. In order to live those captive workers at Dachau would work to kill us, produce the weapons employed against us, their liberators, instead of revolt against their captors, those which they vastly outnumbered.
Those prisoners lacked any Moral Fiber and Courage. They lacked any principles whatsoever.
Eid Mubarak, fucktard!
Print money or die (get arrested) trying!
I love the $100 bill the officer found in her purse where the back was upside down. printed in black and white,,, LMFAO....
Yeah... brilliant.
I saw an episode of locked up abroad the other night where a guy was counterfeiting and passing the notes down in mexico to buy scrips.
He used recipt paper (I guess it passes the counterfeit pen test) and sprayed the notes with hairspray to make them feel right. Still no way to fake a hologram or the strip inside, but he got away with it a few times.
Not worth the risk though. Much easier to dig up silver in the backyard for $5/ounce
45? Musta forged her passport too.
Glued together? Goddamn, duplex printing isn't that crazy of a concept is it?
It is when you buy the $39 inkjet at WalMart.
who the fuck counterfeits a fiver? jebus christ lady, is that the biggest bill you had? cheap ass paper and cheap ass walmart one sided printer, lulz.
Trudat, Buzz. Nobody'd thought to quesiton $10,000 note with Bammy's pic on it. :)~
Decades back some old geezer in Pennsylvania was printing $1 bills. Pre-personal computer. Used an offset press. Nobody ever complained - who'd counterfeit $1 bills!? (though back then they were worth far more - closer to what a $5 bill is worth now).
The guy finally got caught when senility set in and he started putting his own picture on them
Buzz,
The fiver would be perfect for the strip club. Lap dance glore.
/sarc
What's the difference from the bills she printed and the bills Yellen prints?
Hers are worth more!
her's are debt free
Yellens' is better counterfeit,Neither are money.
Her's go directly to and actually stimulate the real economy
One more time:
this is your brain
this is drugs
This is your brain on drugs. (picture of two fried eggs)
"What's the difference from the bills she printed and the bills Yellen prints?" At least this woman actually did some work in making those 'bills'.
The vampire squid will accept her resume from her cell
Sure, you can print your own money, but then you are competing with Uncle Sam
And you will then need a massive army, navy, airforce and national security network and the threat of invasion to force others to accept your money.
Get that, and you'll be on the right path to having your own currency.
and don't forget atomic weapons with a history of using them
Bwwaaaahahahaha I needed a good laugh. It's been far too frustrating lately with this whole Greece nastiness
I'd love it if she was also printing Euros.
Meanwhile in Chattanooga Tennessee...
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. -- A gunman unleashed a barrage of gunfire at two military facilities Thursday in Tennessee, killing at least four Marines and wounding a soldier and a police officer, officials told CBS News.
The shooter also was killed. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News that the shooting suspect was identified as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
Standard Disclaimer: Here's some red meat to chew on...
U.S. Attorney Bill Killian said officials were treating the attacks as an "act of domestic terrorism," though FBI Special Agent in Charge Ed Reinhold said authorities were still investigating a motive.
Just a random act of workplace violence by another muslim killing non-muslims.
The gunman who shot and killed four Marines Thursday during two attacks at military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., has been identified as Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez, a law enforcement souce confirmed to Fox News.
The Associated Press reported Abdulazeez, 24, was believed to have been born in Kuwait, although it was not clear if he was a U.S. or Kuwaiti citizen. He was reported to be from Hixson, Tenn.

you mean all the churches Jewish Fundamentalists have been burning?
http://www.intifada-palestine.com/2015/06/jewish-settlers-burn-destroy-c...
My understanding is that it isn't a crime let alone 'terror' when Israelis or Jews do it, so I'll urge you to consider to avoid being anti-semantic.
I lived in Kingsport for a brief time for a job in college. Was making like $15/hr. Made me a fucking baller in that town LOL
Glued them both together i just fell off my chair.
free her, there is a job waiting at the FED for her
Unfortunately her merits show she couldn't print fast enough...
I thought all printers have software that won't print currency. (I almost said "money".)
why are local police involved in arresting people for *federal* crimes.
attempted fraud or larceny, sure.
but counterfeiting?
Like inquiring into the immigration status of a guy pulled over for speeding who lacks a license and the ability to speak English - isn't it racist to arrest this woman for something the feds are supposed to handle?
I think counterfitting really comes under the Secret Service. Seriously.
Because things haven't gotten SO bad that Obama's SS Fed Force has a quicker response time than the local PD.
Not YET...
According to what I've read most of our local forces have been fedearlized and most likely funding the budget gaps in each individual city and towns with fake grants IE printing money , so in reality they are FEDS.
If she was smart, she would start her own Bitcoin clone. Call it "HickCoin".
Or "BitchCoin"
Don’t spend your recently printed currency at the local grocery.
Spend your recently printed currency at the local Check E. Cheese like everyone else!!
Jack Lew: Ya gots ta sell the treasuries to Janet before you can get the clown bucks. Or become so big that if you fail you crash the economy. Pamela, ya gots ta give us something to work with here...not every bitch can be a banker.
Her only crime is that she is not a member of the tribe
Charged with "criminal simulation" = impersonating the Fed
Rick Masters wannabe
Good one. Willem Dafoe

LOL
You think she was a zerohedge reader...bitches?
Please madame, have some respect for Ms. Yellen!
"If you are not inside, you are outside."
- Gordon Gekko, 1987
I agree with her. Unfortunately its illegal for us crackers.
"A man must be honest to live outside the law" - Bob Dylan
what about that mass-shooting ("domestic terrorist attack") today in chattanooga?
The gunman, who has yet to be publicly identified, was killed at the scene. But multiple news outlets identified the suspected shooter as 24-year-old Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
Domestic?
maybe a deviation from jade helm.
The irony is, she will probably enjoy a higher standard of living and wealth accretion being in a prison, than she would on the outside being subjected to constant bankster assault.
Someone give her Krugmans Nobel prize, quick. She's an economic genius I tells ya.
You just can't print away ugly, can you Janet?
She might have been the inspiration for Down's syndrome
She counterfeited Federal Reserve Notes, sure, but the Federal Reserve Act was unconstitutional on its face.
let her go and give her a show on Discovery Channel!
That quote is reserved for the worlds Central Bankers. That is why the Govt. went for her.
I love the phrase "fixed income" when used by the entitlement class. It suggests that everyone else gets to manually determine how much money they make, but they are the only VICTEMS of capitalism, and thus their income is FIXED!
Considering what's obviously going on, and what's without a doubt hidden, I think that idea makes as much sense as anything, and in fact I like it a lot. I'm serious. Why not?
Is this just uncanny timing or is this the shooter at the Naval Reserve facility in Chattanooga?!!!
No worries... Cause if she isn't the shooter yet she will be for committing an act of terror more horrific than bringing town a bunch of Tower(s) with people in them!...
If she had gone to Columbia as an undergrad and majored in economics then Harvard Business school she could have kept that counterfit money and "printed" to her hearts content like Janet Yellen!
At the end of the day it's all about the finishing school!!!
We are so there , and gold is on sale.
She shoulda been smart - and first laundered it thru the Clinton Foundation.
That cheapskate b!tch Hillary would have given her no more than 10c on the $... but wtf.
Put her in charge of the Fed.
She's overqualified. She can string together a sentence in standard American English that doesn't need to be interpreted by financial shamanistic oracles.
It is not tuesday, so I am just a regular country boy. Not the guy who has to keep track of corzine and the server boys betting on greek negotiations.
But if she did chose to do this on a tuesday, I'd call ol' warburg and tell him to give her timmah's job so he could "spend more time with the family" and she could follow her passion in life.
Here's the scary part.
The kid at the gas station TOOK IT.
Poor lady.
And all of you commenting know that many unnamed others are doing things far worse and not only don't get arrested (and derided) but get big annual salaries.
I hope all of us here won't be having to do the same as Ms. Downs in a few years.
The gas station attendant grew suspicious of the $5 bill, when he noticed the Elmers glue leaking from around it's edges..
Gas station owners need to step up and just start excepting the Elmers. Just pretend you didn't know it was fake like you do with FRN's
Next time she has to splruge on Crazy Glue so it won't leak and fall apart. The more you know. The FED.
Right idea, wrong qualifications.
If she had a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago, Princeton, Harvard, MIT or Yale she would have belonged to the Federal Reserve and been doing it legally.
Her name was Pamela Downs.
Free Pamela!!!
There is only one legal way for average people to basically print money and that is buying the e-minis. It's not as good as owning the printer but it's the next best thing and it sure beats the hell out of doing actual work.
I'm here in the Smokey Mountains, so hooray for Tennessee! Made the news again! Had a raghead shootumup earlier today in Chattanooga. I read this counterfeiting story somewhere yesterday.
I can't hardly wait 'til tomorrow to see what folks gonna do next around here.
Surprised no mention of the shooting in TN on ZH.
I know, it's a big deal nationwide. More hell to pay for white folks again. Every time a raghead or black mob kills some white people we get blamed for standing in the way of the knife or bullet.
I am drinking a cold beer celebrating jarheads biting the dust. Better there than in countries never a threat .

"I'm here in the Smokey (sic) Mountains"
The most beautiful country in Eastern North America, without question- The Smoky Mountains.
And, in general, a better quality of people than you will find most anywhere else in Eastern USA.
I frequently visit the area, for many decades.
It's great. And everybody is extraordinarily nice around here. Like a different country. (I can't help spelling it like Smokey the Bear, but you are correct)
Here is how it ends for her... Slap On The wrist due to being disabled IE dumb as a tree stump. Declared disabled, put on probation, free food, free rent, free cable and internet, free phone, and cash benifits,
This a total win for her you shitting me?
She should have started her own lending institution and she would have been bailed out
Not even. If this even did happen $5 isn't enough to sustain the federal charge. I saw a second count of this pled down to no contest, misdemeanor fraud, $250 fine. No probaitin. No time. The fine was waived upon this fine adult who had only stumbled just 10 or so cm worth of performance reviews promising to never enter any the chain's stores again, for life. Just another performance review. But that perp used a 2 sided color laser copier and wasn't a white female so obviously privileged with superior opportunities, being arraigned by chickenheads in the Gores' fatherland.
A case of Downs syndrome, apparently.
Which is worse for an eonomy? Spending counterfit money or lending it for interest?
Both are bad, yes? Yet the banking cartel does essentially the latter via huge explicit and implicit government subsidies.
And no, government subsidies for gold is no solution either.
Actually the Banksters are worse! They add injury to insult. And they certainly don't needed.
"criminal simulation"... Sounds like the marriage between Washington and Wall Street
would the resulting offspring be criminal stimulation
www.teamramgold.com
You go, girl.
Her fatal flow is that she did not give the printed money to any banker, instead used it at Wal-Mart - which would actually boost GDP and (gasp) create a new job at $9 an hour now.
She should have laundered it through HSBC, then no worries.
LOL, Yellen can't allow competition. Just like the Fed couldn't allow Bitcoin to survive.
It would be nice if Russian and Chinese hackers broke into the Federal Reserve systems and started causing havoc. Another day in which the bond market would be closed down.
Now that the US has chip manufacturing in China an easy way to slip in back doors to the routers used in the Federal Reserve and other agencies.
BitCoin is designed (ridiculously) to be like gold, a good whose supply is made artificially scarce in a way that has no relevance to the supply and demand of the markets for other goods and services. As a result the velocity of money is low and the currency becomes useful for only one thing - hoarding and lending out with usury. No wonder there is no real BitCoin economy to speak of. A properly run electronic currency would be created debt-free (unlike US dollars) and would expand in line with the demand for goods and services in the real economy. The financial economy for such a currency would be minimal and the real economy would be largest. Newly granted (and continuously created) money would be granted to all persons in an equal amount in order to make the monetary velocity constant.
Russia and China, for their part, are servants of the same debt-backed money system championed by the Fed - however, they are countries where the strange fruit of exponential debt-money and interest-slavery has not ripened yet. In the US this fruit is ripe, in the EU overripe, which is why we are seeing such problems there. But make no mistake, Russia and China await the same fate as the US at the hands of the bankers and oligarchs.
I think a new electronic currency is in order
BITCHCOIN
Well,yogi, your wish may not be too far off, came across this little diddy today...
http://www.globalresearch.ca/grandmaster-putins-trap-russia-is-selling-o...
The means are different, but the medium/long term effects may be the same..
Stupid Bitch..
She got caught!
A real crook like JPM&CO, Always gets away...
the paper and ink she used is worth more than the $5 buck she copied..
www.teamramgold.com for un counterfeitable real money
How is combining ink and paper a crime?
The Constitution says the States shall accept only gold and silver as legal tender.
Note that limitiation ONLY applies to the States, not the Federal Government which has the authority to coin money and regulate the value thereof.
Her only mistake was to not be running a to big to fail bank.
there is still this kosher sausage bernankike and his relatives and friends
now can you please arrest them and give them a 5 trillion-year prison sentence each
Print Bitchez..... rofl
The fifth-column Zion and their banksters can print money. Why not her?
Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission..
What does one say about a banksters hung 'til dead from a tree? Poor tree.
She's a domestic terrorists engaging in economic terrorism by printing money which lowers the value of our savings.
So is every bank.
She is just as legit as Goldman sachs, Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, Citi, The Fed... The ECB.... in-fact she has MORE LEGITEMACY than all those institutions, because she outright tells you she is full of shit from the Get-Go.^^
Correct, but the fact remains: "All These Other Bitches Get To Print Money So I Can Too"
Picked up a few Euros today from BoA for an upcoming trip to Greece (or rather Germany as it will soon be renamed lol).... the Euros are worse than monopoly money, all these colors... and shapes and sizes and like... they smell like old shoes.... brand new bills that smell rancid.
The money quite literally stinks....
That being said, I see no difference between what this crazy bitch prints and what those crazy bitches in the Fed print.... paper is paper... ink is ink.... who gives a shit anymore... at this point all IOUS are on the verge of collapse.... why take any of them?
Why should I take Yellens word over that crazy bitches word? they both print, they both are women, they both are obviously insane... so...
Be careful. Hope you report back to us from Greece. Nothing like feedback from "on the ground" from someone who is not a reporter shill douchebag.
Canadian $100 polymer notes smell like maple syrup.
I use them about as much as old $20 cotton notes.
I surmise plastic does not have as much value as cotton.
Brave woman, more cases like this may hopefully change country for the better as government find its limits thanks to public actions.
You are more correct than you know.
Imagine if a majority (even a large minority) of the population of the USA started counterfeiting, just like the Fed.
TPTB can't arrest and prosecute everyone.
Just like boycotting, consumers do not understand the power of multitudes acting on this one thought:
I DO NOT COMPLY.
Don't bother counterfeiting US Dollars. The Federal Reserve has a monopoly on that. Instead, start counterfeiting Drachma. The Greeks might even start using it.
She obviously gets all of her ideas from ZH
she should plead
but Jack Lew probably wants her in the Big House for 20 years to prove that he actually does something.
I say we just start printing our own money. Just don't call it a dollar. If you call it a "Dollar" then the U.S. Gov't will prosecute you for counterfeiting "dollars".
Instead, call it something else and offer to exchange some good you produce for a set number of these things that you print. If my labor has to back a unit of currency it might as well be my own currency and not one issued by the Federal Reserve.
She is just doing her part helping the velocity of money. Not Guilty.
What is the difference with all these Janet counterfeits ????
She should argue the Feds action not even trying to limit counterfeit gold and silver coins coming in on Ebay means she should receive the same treatment---anyway, also interesting today from the TN shooting:
The FBI named the suspect as Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, but said it was too early to speculate on a motive for the rampage, which comes at a time when U.S. military and law enforcement authorities are increasingly concerned about the threat posed by 'lone wolves' to domestic targets.
"We are treating this as an act of domestic terrorism," Bill Killian, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, said earlier, adding that no official determination of the nature of the crime had yet been made and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has not ruled anything out.
The immigration policy not going to be changed for "assylum seekers" or "welfare seekers" from the middle east. I was born here but I want to be considered seeking assylum from the oppressive tax and regulation system and get a free ride.
domestic eh

Let me speculate on the motive. He wanted a top bunk but the bullies would only give him a bottom bunk.
Right now her half-brother is melting down aluminum cans to cast the world's first trillion dollar coin. Paul Krugman said it was Ok, right?
The trillion-dollar coin, i. e. sovereign money made debt-free, is our only way out of the rut we are in! We can no longer continue the fake money of double-entry accounting that has forced economic growth whether or not our technological progress can accomodate it, causing this growth to take on deleterious dimensions such as debt-fueled economic growth.
No longer should we be slaves to a system in which the interest payments to bankers must exponentially grow.
Jury nullification.
ha.
If she declares ZH readers to be her peers, she just might get jury nullification.
All these other bitchex get to print money....She does have a point...seriouisly. Let's make her Treasury Secretary.
I'm thinking of making my own nukes. Why not? Everyone seems to be making them now.
If you would just print your own money you can buy some nukes from Iran. I'd check on Amazon and make sure you are getting the best price.
On the same web site where Obama said americans could print their own money he also said Iran can sell Nukes on the internet. They take both Master Card and Visa.
So, this woman goes to jail, and Yellen is free?
What's up with that?
There never should have been a monopoly on "money" in the first place. This is one of the best pieces of evidence that the Constitution was a coup against the people by the new aristocrats.
She should have bought a duplex model printer, or learned to double feed the paper.
She would not had had to glue the 2 sides together and maybe the clerk would have never noticed. They don't seem to be too bright in AL Gore's home state.
I think she's a might touched.
Downs for Fed Chair! No more Yellen!
"It was not immediately clear which "bitches" she was referring to."
Let me guess: The Bernank, Ol Yeller, Kuroda, Draghi, Carney, et al.?
Want to print money ?
1) Crowdfund to raise capital and open a bank.
2) Then go 10/1 fractional reserve fake money system in perfect legality.
3) ???
4) Profit.
A women print 5 $ bills goes to prison a banks print 1 billions, the bank help the economy.
Fucking insane world.
She was arrested .... wearing a comfortable house dress .... so she probably doesn't have any of Hildebeast's cocktail of polyester, tight crotched pant suit yeast infections !
Huma, lick me!
Yes, ma'mam. What are the locations of US troops?
Here is a pintout!
Haha, it's ALL counterfeit!
Slaves R US... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fdC0-58DKfI
During the Civil War, the Confederate states were often so desperate for cash that when they busted a counterfeiter, they'd seize his stock of bills, stamp them all "VALID", and put them into circulation.
She was arrestred a second time .... when she tried to pay her bail .... with counterfeit notes ! ( kind of a lame post, I admit .... what is unique .... this is a rare "split double post" .... between my jittery double stroke on the save box .... other posts slipped in ?) (no, it wasn't a split double post after all, jeez?)
How do we know it was counterfiet?
Was the second post, in fact, a counterfeit?
Occifer, over heeer! We got another one. He does not have Downs. He does confess to stroking his keys too much though, like Ben and Janet, I think.
Why is it so fun to report on and make fun of the mentally ill??
Well, Bath House is the pResidnet....
