Janet Yellen Falters During Speech, Receives Medical Attention, All-Clear Given

For those watching Janet Yellen's speech this evening, the fact that she seemed to struggle towards the end of her speech was a surprise. Now we know why...

  • **FED'S YELLEN GETTING MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER SPEECH -REUTERS

It is hardly surprising given that she now carries the weight of the world's economic and market strength on her shoulders.

As MarketWatch's Greg Robb noted, Yellen faltered at end of her speech. Last page was agonizing. I don't think she felt well but she seemed better when she left the stage.

Bloomberg reports, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is resuming her planned schedule after feeling unwell toward the end of a speech she was giving Thursday at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fed spokeswoman Michelle Smith said in an e-mailed statement.

“Chair Yellen felt dehydrated at the end of a long speech under bright lights,” Smith wrote. “As a precaution, she was seen by EMT staff on-site at U-Mass Amherst. She felt fine afterward and has continued with her schedule Thursday evening.”

But as you can see below, she really did not look well at all...

The initial reaction was a dive in stocks...

 

Fed Chair Janet Yellen is receiving medical attention after her speech at UMass, Reuters reports, citing an unidentified University of Massachusetts official.

Then this...

  • *YELLEN IS DEPARTING SPEECH EVENT, RESUMING SCHEDULE: U. MASS
  • *YELLEN IS HEADING TO A SCHEDULED DINNER - U. MASS SPOKESMAN

Some Twitterati suggested that perhaps she was just sick of her speech...

*  *  *

All-Clear given... Buy!

First thing that came to my mind as well, although it still could be somebody else trying to replace her - by any means necessary.

That was NOT exactly a TED talk....she was hurting BIG time and needs to be put out to pasture...I mean, I wouldn't hire her to take tickets at a movie theatre and rip them in half....

This is how someone reacts when the tide has turned and they realize that they are the first one on the beach left naked.

Those sounds that she made... That's the sound of a Reptile losing control of it's disguise.

Looked like a physical manifestation. Possibly nausea induced from the deceitful portrayal of the belief and intent to raise the fed fund rate by the end of the year. News of fresh layoffs are abound. The labor market is getting slacker not tighter.

700 Mooslims crushed to death yesterday and it's followed up by this?

 

Pinch me so I know I'm not dreaming.

the only thing missing from all this is a bald bernank lying on the floor whispering "the horror. the horror."

Been a while since last post; no (intent) poli-comments, just personal-spec re: Yellerz "condition". Having had some xp with neuro-degenerative fuck-alls, maybe some of this(?)

<--rare, probably not-knots. I posted link 'cause my father was DX'd 1-2-3. Yellens' hesitation(z)+clunky delivery reminded me of -things-.

I abhor Phead /w "teh" perfunctory ZH-ness. Yellen, a spout of bile, no more/less IMHO, methinks, as many here Uh-Say: she's some *get-smart* "plastic lips". Prolly has famz, paying the price and all that. Not that I'd love it, if no ruse, would muster a modicum of nil if (true) a genuine stoke-on-scene ->befall an L-Blankfein, Paulson or Dim-putz/Bersnankity.

Dehydration has been a silent killer for years.  Maybe we can wear light blue in November to bring awareness.  Also please sponsor your neighbors for walks, runs, and bicycle rides to raise money for a cure.  Together we can....drink water.

The important part.... GIVE MONEY.  Drinking water is OK too, as long as you give money to the cause.

I'm getting that some Men in Black whispered something in her ear moments before she took the stage.

Final official public utterance?:

"If the economy surprises us, our judgments about appropriate monetary policy will change," she said. "Let me stop there. Thank you."

She had a panic attack reading a last minute memo on live tv.

Who wrote that speech,.. wassup??

She had a panic attack . . .

 

Absolutely!!!! Even if you are "sick" you don't pause for 20+ seconds at key points in a very short speech. It was pretty obvious that she was lying through her teeth and basically freaked out about what she was being forced to say.  The game is afoot and it's now only a short matter of time.

Interesting.

Hypothesis:  She's controlled, rather than just influenced.

Hypothesis:  There is discord amongst her controllers, and the content of the speech did not jive with what she'd been told to expect.

Hypothesis:  The Rothschilds are positioned to accept a deflationary depression.  While the Warburgs are not.

Despite what the propaganda organs of the State proclaim, she is definitely *not* fine.

Interesting that the people around her were afraid to help her during what could have been a stroke episode, choosing to wait until she either finished or dropped to the floor.
