Here's What Real Americans Think Of "Our Hero" Bernanke
Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
There’s nothing like the comment section when it comes to Federal Reserve propaganda in the editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal. Liberty Blitzkrieg readers will remember the last time the WSJ published a disconnected piece of Central Bank stroking garbage from Fed propagandist John Hilsenrath, and the riotous anger which ensued in the comment section. If you missed it, I strongly suggest taking a read: “Revolution is Coming” – The Top 20 Responses to Jon Hilsenrath’s Idiotic WSJ Article.
Fast forward a few months, and here we have Ben “the courage to bail out billionaires” Bernanke writing an almost unreadable piece of propaganda in the WSJ titled “How the Fed Saved the Economy.”
At this point in a post I’d typically highlight the more egregious parts of an Op-Ed, but this one is so bad, so poorly written and completely uninteresting, there’s really no point. If you feel like wasting two minutes of your life go ahead and read it yourself, but it appears to me that it was put together in a couple of seconds by an intern instructed to boost book sales.
What’s far more interesting, is the comment section. Apparently there are 591 comments as of this writing, and if the first page is any indication, WSJ readers are not on the same page as Bernanke. And that’s putting it lightly.
So what do Americans think of our hero? Here are a few examples from the first page alone:
Thank you for your service Dr. Bernanke.

There is a special hell waiting for you.
I hope Ben's book tour comes to my town!!!
He saved the Jewish accounts.
Coin Act of 1792, Section 19 - Penalty on Debasing the Coins [Counterfeiting]
"And be it further enacted, that if any of the gold or silver coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint shall be debased or made worse as to the proportion of the fine gold or fine silver therein contained, or shall be of less weight or value than the same out to be pursuant to the directions of this act, through the default or with the connivance of any of the officers or persons who shall be employed at the said mint, for the purpose of profit or gain, or otherwise with a fraudulent intent, and if any of the said officers or persons shall embezzle any of the metals which shall at any time be committed to their charge for the purpose of being coined, or any of the coins which shall be struck or coined at the said mint, every such officer or person who shall commit any or either of the said offenses, shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall suffer death."
...somewhere, something went terribly wrong.
It was a bit hidden but I did see some foreshadowing of helicopter money from the Bernanke piece.
If you mean people should be put to death for this . . .

. . . then shouldn't we get to torture them first?
No, it's not constituional, but that's never stopped them.
I don't advocate the killing of anything, ever; just this, justice.
It goes to show that once upon a time the difference between corruption and virtue was taken seriously.
It's all about me!
You're all my bitchez now!
Accent on "once upon a time." OC.
And by the way, since you are opposed to "the killing of anything, ever," I'd be interested in your diet plan.
Lol. Yep. The word is advocate and I chose it.
Please translate.
Torture is wrong. Just give them enhanced interrogations (like in Abu Ghraib, since "we don't torture", whatever happened there should be fair game for the banksters)
A simple "Fuck Ben Bernanke" would have sufficed.
Same goes for the cookie lady currently occupying that position.
The whole damn system is corrupt to the core. Time for it to collapse.
Fucking debt money, what is it good for?

I had the opportunity to go to a Greenspan book signing. I regret passing on it. If Bernanke comes to my town for a book signing I'm there. I will have a mouth full of phlegm ready for him. Or maybe I'll just get super drunk the night before so I can bazooka barf on him. Decisions, decisions...
Wipe the crack of your ass with your finger, then wipe it across his mustache....
I like it. Hedley summarizes it best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2ce-zC_n8E
But he might move. I'm going with spit or vomit.
OK then, if you must vomit, eat a lot of some really smelly stuff. Kimchi, rice with nouc mam, beans, whatever. Then take some ipecac. You'll have to establish the timing on your own. The projectile vomiting should give Linda Blair a run for her money.
Hey, it worked for Brian Bosworth in college football......then he got hurt in the pros, then had a wonderful acting career.....then I lost track. Nah, don't do it.
Just punch him in the face, kick over the table, light his books on fire and if there is time, escort all central plan fans to the appropriate exit.
Jews don't believe in Hell, so it's gonna have to be a here and now kinds thing.
I think we can make that happen.
I think we are making that happen. When do the ground forces start? When do we start lobbing nukes into caves and all that?
Their main belief is like Ichan and the rest, "If I can't take it with me I ain't gonna go".
That special Hell is standing up to his whiskered chin in shit for the ages. Hel'll say to the Bankster standing next to him, "Well this isn't as bad as I expected". To which his neighbor will reply, "Wait tell the Devil goes by in his cigarette boat!"
The best way to get kicked out of hell is to steal Lucifer's matches.
This is my plan.
But, which ring of hell, Unca Fester?
Sure, level 7 includes usurers, but falsifiers "whose corrupting influence--on metals (alchemists), money (counterfeiters), identity (imposters), and truth (liars)--is reflected in their diseased bodies and minds" are relegated to the tenth and final pit of circle 8, the realm of fraud.
Of course, the traditional favorites are the lake of fire and river of $#!+...
If we did not infact have a "just us" system, then yes Bernanke and Greenspan would have been tried as the treasonous traitors that they are and shortly executed along with all the Federal Reserve board members for the last 30+ years and every single one of their political puppets that has facilitate and perpetuated the theft/fraud.
Tell us something we didn't know (like where all the money went during the bailouts).
The drug dealers naturally, this is why reform is needed, and reform won't be allowed so a destruction of the current system is the only option left before true reform can begin. Now the only question remaining is will you be in the proper place at the proper time with the proper resources to avoid being swept up in the rubble? All except a few will not. Same as it's always been.
No things will ever change until people like the Bernank are actually removed from existence for betraying their species in objectively immoral ways.
That requires a level of collective cohesion in thought and action that is unlikely to manifest. Therefore we're fucked. The end.
The Sheeple always get flocked.

Most Americans made money on the real estate scam.
Nobody complained and everybody loved it.
Then the dream popped and everybody with a house needed rescue or almost everybody would have lost his house.
Now the market is rising again and nobody is complaining abouth that unless they're left out.
That dream will pop again but the current "wealth" if because of Bernanke.
The smart people are selling now and getting the hell out of dodge with their money but... greed... just a little bit more...
and poof.
Bernanke did what almost every American needed.
Sure the debt is crazy high. But what was the alternative?
Nobody is complaining about Regean. And that guy started most of the crap.
It's easy to point to one guy at the end of the line but the real problems are the "real" Americans themselves who keep on speculating and playing the game.
He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

And like you are not #1 on the denial list.
I don't call it the denial list at all!
I want to make money to! Remember, I'm not a communist and I don't want to on the sidelines yelling BOHOOHOO being broke.
But I've taken money of the table quite a few times and there's a plan B and C.
Also, it's not because you own silver and gold that you'll be rich when the world implodes!!!
You'll meet guys like me who will rip you off bigtime!
Sure, just like a predator wants to do business with their last victim, it don't end until it does.
The difference will be that guys like you will be much easier to hunt down so as justice can be properly applied. Remember cardio is very important for survival.
Greenspam legitimized it and all the successive presidents and FED (WS representatives) have each thrown more gasoline on the fire..
To say everyone benefited is to say that everyone has the same financial and living situation. IE too stupid to even comprehend. Therefore, I am assuming your piece was sarcastic, and as such was very good.
thanks
Agreed. I made money on it, bailed on it in 2005 knowing it was coming down hard. Back in and can pay it off today if needed but have other things to deal with if possible. BUT:
What is a "real american"? I see the so called real american is as bad or worse than the so called jew, except stupiderrer, and brainwashed by footzballz and buxxin in a cage fight event. And they cry that the jew took advantage of them when they are just a plain idiot that wanted more than they could pay for... keep on speculating and playing the game(as you say)...then cry when they lose their home so their neighbor has to pay their way.
It can't last forever, and they WILL drag you down like the guy drowning in the ocean rip tide if you don't ensure you can stand on the beach and watch with sadness but not remorse.
You are a sad little man. All of this has been forced upon the population and you know this. People have been propagandized and brainwashed into believing this is the American way their entire lives. If you trick someone into doing something then you are foremost responsible. The fact you are making money on the scam and not doing anything to help your fellow man is all one needs to know about you and the value you represent to society.
This is what Zero Hedgers think of Bernanke:

Economists think they are scientists and engineers, but don't have a clue. If your data is not checkable with data derived from controlled experiment, you are not a scientist.

The absolute heights of chutzpah. He gives us the GREAT RECESSION followed by 7 years of economic stagnation and he thinks of himself as a hero?
Forgot everything else George Bush (43) did. His appointments of John Roberts, Hank Paulson and Bernacke were black marks on his Presidency.
much like my business partners ..a jew is never wrong. ever. he sees a different reality and you and i ain't in it.
He should be prosecuted for those illegal loans he made to foreign banks.
Right, even assuming that he was trying to do good, which one of his mandates includes foriegn banks and the chinese economy?
How about another round of FUCK YOU Bernanke?
Simple, to the point and never gets old.
AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
Fuck you Bernanke!
Too funny, but America is still in the either if they elect Billery
Sorry American society
You want to be lied to..so suck it up.
When asked by (usually asshole egotist) Kernen (don't you think it's time to stop the asset bubbles ) BWERNANKE HAD THE GALL TO SAY RATES WOULD " NEED TO GO MUCH HIGHER..."( to stop animal spirits)
So, this is a reason to not raise, they need to go "much higher"
I WANT A GOLD-GILDED LAMPOST FOR THIS MUTHERFUCKER !
Just a note: it is NOT the 1% crowd. One out of every one hundred Americans are the small business owners who work hard, take risks, blah blah blah. The butcher, the baker, the candle stick maker.
It's the .001% that need hanging. You get rid of the 1% and America is done for. Come to think of it, that is exactly what is happening.
Look at it another way. The idiot in the White House wants social justice on an international level.
- 1/3 of the world goes to bed without supper
- 1/3 of the world lives in a home with dirt floors
- 1/2 of the world makes under 10,000 dollars (equivalent) a year
And these are the very good statistics. What, exactly, does that mean for America's relentless decline in living standards over the next 50 years. Go Team USA...weebee Number 73! A race to the bottom, that is what America has to look forward to. Taxed and Inflated out of existence (and Regulated, Manipulated, and all that nice alphabet soup stuff) It isn't the evil jew, it is the stupid american. He who fails to prepare and all that crap. 1 in about 1000 (being kind) knows anything about banking, taxation, business, payroll, investments (and about 1/3 can't balance a checkbook!!!!) but expect to be wealthy and bitch about those that are.
Welcome to the REAL, REAL WORLD, AMERICA, brought to you by REALITY...not MTV. You are gonna...cry.
If I was Bennie I would likewise be trying to protect or create a "legacy" that is favorable.
The last thing he wants is to be blamed for the next 5 years as that may lead to the guillotine. The seeds of our demise have been already sown by this pointy headed college professor with crazy Keynesian ideas beholden to the big money interests.
Maybe the guillotine is a bit too good for him.
sschu
Bernanke is just following the script laid out for him previously by Alan Greenspan.
Greenspan once claimed that financial bubbles were not predictable. This, after his low-interest rate policies set the stage for 2 of the biggest bubbles of all time - stock market bubble (2000) / housing bubble (2006).
And then, after he got replaced by Bernanke, all of a sudden Greenspan is talking about bubbles, and how dangerous they are, and how only gold is true money. Right around the same time he was promoting his book.
These guys are raging egomaniacs, and they care about their "legacy."
NO, these kikes are all on the same page. They just parro differing opinions etc. to keep the goy fighting and confused amongst themselves so we do not know what they are going to do next.
They are kniving, manipulatuve liars that "think" they are the master race.
No, they are NOT smarter, just more connected, more dishonest and more manipulative.
Fuck the kikes!
What, exactly can the so called goy complain about when 1/3 of americans can't balance a checkbook? It isn't about being smarter. It is about the desire to learn and be a better more rounded person. The jew happens to pursue these and other things and tend to be wealthier because they have a larger vocabulary and better math skills BY CHOICE. This... American so called goy are interested in football and cheezpuffies, and literally get depressed if their chosen team doesn't win.
The world has ALWAYS been about being connected, and ALWAYS will. And that field is a group of very evil and very dark (white skinned, well mostly, at least the middle management is) people who value world domination. You either choose to join those paths or you don't.
Yes; the guillotine is so pase--I think the Joan of Arc image is much more---oh, ya know, closer to the crimes committed. LA chant---Burn Baby!!! Milestones
This proves beyond any shadow of doubt how completely disconnected the media is from the truth
It's not really surprising, since many of the comments in Western financial and news sites (including ZH) are made by Russian givernment trolls:
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/02/putin-kremlin-inside-russia...
In the end you need to finish glory of Ukraine.
Be proud of Ukrainian economy now anyway, so proud of shitting toilet.
Kinda surprising that i'm ex-military and all american with german and irish ancestry...
I just happen to be very aware of unREVISED history and facts that have been covered up about the kikes and their world agenda concerning the goyim.
Putin just so happens to remember how the kikes and Bolsheviks turned Russia into a human disaster and recognizes the zio-nazi plan for what it is and taking steps to stop it.
I applaud him fervently.
Does that fervent applause include his position on climate change?
youmutti, you're right ! Real Merican patriots support Bernanke ! / / / / / /
Most Real Merican patriots don't know who he is, or don't care. Besides, if these Real Merican patriots keep shoping at Dollar-Wal-Lots it no real change will ever occur anyway. Bring on the DIRT floors!!! Social Justice style!
You mean, kind like this.....

Where are all of these newbies coming from? Anyone else notice how many off the wall dumb shits have shown up here over the 2 months? They mostly seem to be defenders of the status quo, spewing disinformation, trying to defend the indefensible. They also sound very immature, and have trouble with writing styles. Most of the comments are vapid, with rarely any meaningful support for the statements they make. No real depth and no real contribution, but often try to re-direct the subject matter.
The ability to post comments here with no moderation, editing or censorship, has attracted the huffpo yahooers like unwanted swarms of locusts...
OK WHO HAS THE I-FON? WHO GOT LIKED AND ALLOWED THEM TO FIND THE SITE? STAY OFF THE FONZ!!! AND FOR GODSAKE DON'T ASSOCIATE ID'S OR ANY NAMES TO THIS PLACE! IT IS THE LAST OF TWO SITES LEFT ON THE WHOLE WUBBZ THING...
I am soon to exit all tech except work requirements...it is useless shit for useless eaters/americans and those trying to emulate E-ROPE. This site goes down and i am done with it, seriously. Maybe that is good for me and good for all of you too.
We saved some folks.
The Gruber Principle.
I like it.
Pity only only six hundred WSJ readers cared enough to wish Mr B a jolly , seasonal FUCK YOU.
Most websites require you to have a facebook, Google + or some other account so your comment can be properly archived for when the time comes.
It isn't apathy keeping the worst commenters from posting.

Have you noticed the insideous consolidation of comment sections and editorial pages taking place under the banner of "Disqus"? My first encounter with this "service" was when the local paper, a McClatchey outfit, added it to their comments section. Then, it started popping up other places. I will not comment anywhere you have to register with them, and I am sure it is squelching public dissent and contrarian thinking from others as well.
Is ZH monitored? Maybe, probably, but I have been on here too long to hide, and hiding really isn't the issue anyway. I simply tune out and turn off any web site that disrespects my privacy so much as to demand I register with a 3rd party to take part in their discussions. Hopefully, more and more people will do the same until site operators realize it is hurting their traffic.

introduce him to mussolini.
Yes, hang him high, or make him walk a plank off the roof of Goldman Sachs headquarters!
No, introduce him to xyklon-B!
Too simple. Then again there are too many of them and therefore it could be cost effective. Forget what i said, you method stands! Where did i leave my chemistry set?
- reminds me of my childhood chemistry set. I made HCL and burned my eyes and nose. The so called "safety" of toys these days has made our country useless to the world. All they can do is stare into an i-box and numb their spirit and soul for the sake of the parents having an i-nanny to shut their child up. Good Lord I am an negative, glass completely empty individual. The endless corruption has made me care nothing for this world, at least my faith allows me to not mind that choice. Why do you give so much time of your life for things that don't matter? It makes life more peaceful and enjoyable, oddly enough.
I sound stoned in all of my comments today. What was in that lunch?
When it all goes, I would not want to be anywhere near this guy...

Not only is Bernanke shameless, but he writes an "I am the Hero" book just like Hank Paulson did. These fuckers are truly unconscious. I wonder, do people actually believe these charlatans?
They are called sociopathic for a reason. What you or I think matters little to them.
The worse part of it is the rapid growth of the sociopath in America over the last decade. Research use of i-gadgets and what it does to children's mindset. Look at all the "texting while driving" people, the texting while eating out with family people, and all others using the i-shit.
Did I beat AlfredNeumann here....did I?....well did I?
Lol jk
WSJ is Bankster Cabal profligate and wanton sediment dogshit. Why on Earth would any intelligent human read that aggregation of financial excrement?
Fuckin' kike.
@ Falling Down. we are all worse off for having read your pointless, idiotic and anti-semetic comment.
UndercoverBrother,
What's wrong with anti-semitism?
I agree. He should have said fucking ZIONIST.
I actually clicked on the WSJ article, figuring I could put up with 3 minutes of WS appologizm.
No luck, I will not subscribe to that rag.
Lying fucking KIKE!
He was on CNBS with the Lies Man this morning saying that "productivity is down and we need 2% + inflation and more worker productivity for the economy to improve."
Hey Ben! You bald headed prick, how about I hitch you to pull a wagon, and see how much more productive you get with every lash of my whip...
Judging from the comments in the post, you might get your clothes ripped off like the two Air France bozo's this morning, the next time you stick your smarmy, goateed face out in public you paper hanging SOB...FUCK YOU BEN!!!
I never got why inflation was a target, and personally can't believe they talk about it openly.
Why the fuck would I want the value of my money to drop as a requirement of a "healthy" economy?
What crap.
There are not enough pikes for the heads of these kikes.
Mr. Bernanke, if you are reading this, I want you to review this video and feel free to comment on it, or, even schedule an interview to clarify your position.
Ben Bernanke's Sovereign Deceptionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmPUKy-3OfY
The popular explanation--originating with then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke and promoted relentlessly by the media--for why the $700 billion TARP bailout had to be passed is destroyed with an 8-minute film.
Relying solely on documents from the Federal Reserve together with congressional testimony, BestEvidence exposes Bernanke's TARP story to congress as a willful fraud intended to benefit global megabanks.
The episode further reveals that Bernanke lied to congress about TARP saving Main Street at precisely the same time he was planning the Fed's own megabank bailout that specifically excluded Main Street.
In addition, Bernanke's craven efforts following his epic deception to conceal the Fed's nefarious abuses of power on behalf of parties that included foreign banks were ultimately thwarted, albeit too late, thanks to Article III of the constitution, a tireless reporter (who apparently took the last crumbs of journalistic gumption with him to the grave), and a federal district court judge who smelled the rank cumulus clouds of b.s. billowing from B.S. Bernanke a mile away.
The media's slavish Fed worship generally and its TARP propaganda campaign in particular are condemned in no uncertain terms, never to be forgiven.
Bernanke sees guillotines, torches and pitchforks in America's future and is, now, in CYA mode.
a truly fascinating look into the mind of a delusional banker with a god complex.
If the American citizenry ever grow the testicles necessary to actually stand up for themselves against their tyrannical rulers... Bernanke's throat will be among the first to be slit. I hope.
Slit slowly. I hope.
And do it with a 'dull' soup spool so he can enjoy the experience for longer.

Head down to any sports bar or WMT in America and ask anyone you run into who is Bernanke and the "Real American" response will be "no idea." WSJ readers are generally clued in on what's happening, so the comment section isn't quite the "Real American" demo Mike is making it out to be.
Bernanke should be in prison
A TRUE MALE CUNT
Bernanke is a fucking lying prick. It's fucking insane that the captured MSM fawns over his "heroism". And even more insane that anyone believes it.
bernanke did what he was hired to do. he saved the banks. he did it at your expense and all of us let the fed and .gov steal 30 trillion dollars of wealth from the middle class with a grateful thank you.
Bernanke : "My eternally poor cabals , who in ancient past were poor brick making laborers, need an eternal supply of unlimited money"
I subscribe to the WSJ, and when the Hilsinrath piece came out I loved the comments. Now, however, their site won't let me see the comments or add one or even see the whole article; I keep signing in (and my name is on the screen; they have me signed in actually), but it just won't "take." I wonder what's up.
