CTRL+SPIN: Ben Bernanke And The Fed Propaganda Tour Live

A few days ago we noted that the Fed's propagnda is slowly encroaching into the 8-12 classroom with "Fed To Take Propaganda To The Schoolroom: Will Teach Grade 8-12 Students About Constitutionality Of... The Fed" in which the Fed's appointed class agenda would allow "students to use their knowledge of McCulloch v. Maryland and the necessary and proper clause to consider the constitutionality of the Federal Reserve System." You know - just in case kids get ideas early on. And now that Grades 8-12 are covered, it is time to take the propaganda tour to college. From the Fed: "In March 2012, Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will deliver a four-part lecture series about the Federal Reserve and the financial crisis that emerged in 2007. The series begins with a lecture on the origins and missions of central banks, followed by a lecture that will discuss the role and actions of the Federal Reserve in the period after World War II. In the final two lectures, the Chairman will review some of the causes of, and policy responses to, the recent financial crisis, focusing specifically on the actions of the Federal Reserve. The lectures are being offered as part of an undergraduate course Leaving the Board at the George Washington University School of Business." Watch Bernanke as he shifts from the default CTRL+P mode to CTRL+SPIN. Also, we are taking bets on how many times the Chairsatan will use the words "Andrew" and "Jackson" in the same sentence: making a market at zero and under.

Zionist propaganda.  More people were killed during slavery & more Russians were killed in the WWs & by their "leaders".  

Why do people think Jews have a monopoly on suffering?  African-Americans & Native Americans don't whine as much & more of them were killed.

Now, Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians, but that's OK because they're "the chosen people".  By who? By some guy in the sky in some fairy tales.

The fact that Bernanke tries to sell central banking by stating that Sweden started it in the 1600s is perplexing because it is factually wrong. Sveriges Riksbank was formed in the 1600s when the state took over a failed bank that was issuing notes backed without collateral. (!) It was not until 1897 that it became the central bank of Sweden with monopoly in issuing bank notes.

The key issue is not the gold standard per se but having free banking versus central banking. If you have free banking the system will tend toward the gold standard because people will demand collateral, c.f. Sveriges Riksbank's predecessor in the 1600s.
