Ask Courageous Ben Bernanke Anything, Courtesy Of The WSJ
As Ben Bernanke's grand revisionist book tour continues, this morning he speaks to his favorite former mouthpiece, the WSJ Jon Hilsenrath as part of the WSJ in turn promoting its own version of Medley Global, WSJ Pro. The Bernanke webcast can be seen below:
More importantly, as the WSJ has kindly offered, anyone who wishes to, can ask Ben Bernanke questions about his "courage" to print $3 trillion and make the rich richer. Just make sure to tag your tweet with #FedWSJPro

Popcorn! STAT!
Q to the Bernank: Is it sometimes difficult to think clearly when you're strapped to a printing press?
Enslaving a Free people to debt, and capturing all assets through boom and bust you create, IS the/your system. 101 years of the fed and the enslavement is complete, they have stolen a nation. the "system" is working perfectly. nothing more than counterfeiters.
^^this.
Do not tweet any questions to him. He is a liar and was the head thief. Why legitimize him with giving a shit about what he thinks?

Sometimes it's just plain fun to ridicule the guy.
Mr Bernanke,
Where does the Federal Reserve get its operating money?
Why do taxpayers pay the members a 6% divy?
"Are you worried about what they are going to do to you when they get ahold of you?"

Mr. Bernanke,
What did the banking establishment offer you in exchange for scuttling the quasi nationalization plan you first advanced in response to the financial crisis? Was it an offer you couldn't refuse?

Ben...what is your favorite color?
If you had a puppy....what would you name it?
That's all I have....the rest of my questions are for Hillary.
"Should those bankers which Mr. Bernanke wanted to send to jail have gone there before or after he gave them trillions of dollars?"
Fantastic.
ZH Special Ops Strike Team, your presence is requested on Twitter RIGHT FREAKING NOW. Go! Go! GO! Dammit, guys, shake off that hangover and go tear this guy a new one. (Would do it myself, but I don't have and will NEVER have a Twitter account)
Moar' cake and popcorn for the masses as they bail out their buddies.
I would like to ask the Bernanke how he fucks himself every evening after destroying the countries finances.
What a schmuck.
We're nauseated by you phony piles of shit........
Now you know why the media doesn't get Donald Trump.
Why is gold a CB "tradition" ?
What economic events would make you believe your monetary ideology, held for your entire professional career, was wrong?
Religious debate
Q To Bill Nye What would make you believe in god.
A Evidence
Q To Ken Ham What would make you not believe in god.
A Nothing
There is no point in having any further discussion.
Sorry, I don't use twatter ... or snapperchat or faceboob for that matter.
Is that discrimination against Luddites?
I want to protest for Luddite rights!! Where do I complain?
What I would like to ask is: "What gives him and the Fed the moral right to pick winners and losers and to enslave the planet in debt?"
(I am not talking about the falsely claimed legal right ceded by congress through the Federal Reserve Act that was never legally ratified)
Seriously? Bread and Circuses for the intellectually impaired
Why are you such a egotistical dick?
ZWO mouthpieces - who gives a fuck. I'm sure it's all congresses fault, he is big hero......at least to the top 1%'ers that got wildly wealthier during his reaign.
Dear Mr. Retired Chairman Bozo.
Is it true that the Basel Accord 2015, 2016, is a failure since Central Banks are Running QE and the Hyper Financialization of Good Collateral paper makes it impossible for Banks to secure these higher Paper Reserves?
Also Dear Mr. Bozo; is it true that we are forever Doomed to have dumb assholes running our central banks and banking system.
Thanks in advance for your kind reply.
This will go as well as the Ask JPM thing a few years ago
When will you turn yourself in to the authority and go to jail forever!? Thank you Benny!
Bernanke: what authority? Hahahahah!
Why bother, it's all bullshit anyway.
Dear Bernank: WHat is the neck size on your shirts?
Trying to make a buck off 'Main St' America... that's what pisses me off. What a Creep. $crew them again.
Can you sing The Bankers Song Ben? Oh go on...

Anyone see his interview on Charlie Rose? He looked absolutely terrified.
Charlie Rose didn't seem to 'get it', yet any frequent ZH reader would. Bernank knows his actions have failed. He knows we're headed for disaster. He knows he is responsible for it. He knows it's going to seriously affect the world economy.
Bernank looked as Janet did when she delivered her most recent stammering speech.
Sure he is scared. He has had to write a book to sell the actions of the worst CB leader since Greenspan debacle.. And he has to sell it.
Fortunately, anyone with an IQ above their pulse ain't buying it. That's a pretty low bar, btw.
Their Fatal Conceit? They had to do what they did to save us.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Problem with the Bernank's book ,- anyone dumb enough to care what the smoke blowing idiot has to say for himself is too dumb to read.
Dear Bernank: Does it make you sad that no one will ever name their kid BEN again, once the SHTF?
Q : Ben , so how many nail guns are in the FED's vault?
Hi Ben!
Do you do jaw exercises before blowing investment bankers? Is it true that Lord Jacob Rothschild has a tiny johnson?
Ask him if he reads Zero Hedge!
Mr Bernanke, can you tell us all how you equate the word 'courageous' with slashing interest rates?
I have a question - why did you screw millions of people who worked hard all their lives and saved just to rescue the bankers who gambled with their and other people's money????
Are Jamie Dimon's throat and Wankstain's lymph nodes the only growth industries left in America?
Ok so it's old but apropos: Ben, if we threw you, Janet, Greenspan, Dimon and Blankfein off the roof of the Fed building at the same time, which one would hit the ground first?
Appropriate answer: Who cares?
Appropriate answer: Let's try it and find out.
1. If all debt-money brought into existence bears interest to the Fed's owners, the interest must also be brought into existence as interest-bearing debt. So, Mr. Counterfeiter-in-Chief, just how, exactly, can this exponential system not ultimately end in a hyperinflationary disaster?
2. Pray tell . . . how was your increasing the interest rate paid to banks on their excess reserves, in an era of ZIRP, intended to stimulate the real economy, which I think is part of your do-gooder sounding "dual mandate"? Was this a trick you learned from your vaunted study of the Great Depression?
Please just answer those two questions honestly.
Just what I thought . . . you can't.
Ben, is it true that Carmen Segarra is locked in Janet Yellen's basement?
Ben, which is most effective against tyranny and sophistry: tar and feathers, noose, or guillotine?
Ben, did you strain your finger when you courageously pushed the print button?
Ben - Can any proceeds from your fucked up, self serving piece of trash book be applied to the Federal Reserve's balance sheet? Do you think you'll be disappointed when you "meet your maker" and learn that he is not a banker?
Target acquired...
Ben - if gold is not important why is so much effort spent in suppressing its price?
Not defending Bernanke at all. What he did/headed up was a disgrace and the bigegst theft in the histrory of mankind. But, bankers were not the only ones bailed out:
Will the Real Bail-Out Recipients Please Stand?
That article is nothing but a bunch of garbage. If the fed had left the system correct itself bad investments would have been washed out of the system and prices would have reset. Instead, by artificially propping up prices we find ourselves still dealing with a mess seven years later that will only get worse the further we kick the can down the road.
"If the fed had left the system correct itself bad investments would have been washed out of the system and prices would have reset.

Of course, I totally agree. As I said, the bail-out was a massive theft. A theft of future generations and the have-nots, not current stakeholders. My only point is that many of the people that were bailed out, do not to this day realize it. They are trying to hang Bernanke and the bankers while checking their own portfolios and patting themselves on the back for being "smart" enough ride it out. As I conclude, they may not be so lucky next time.
Alan Greenspan has been washed up. Bernanke is the next poster child in Federal Reserve Common Core Math skill set.
Then Bernanke blames Congress, who has the ablity to Audit the Federal Reserve and re-coin a new United States currency. It smells like shit on a bullshit meter. The more lies flying around will bring this shit to a end.
Keep at it, watch your world burst into a dead broke status.
Shalom Bernanke!

Just curious Ben, do you spit or swallow???????
