Fed's Twitter Arrival uZIRPed By Hecklers, And Real Time Fed Twitter Tracker
If the Fed thought it could boldly go where hundreds of millions have gone before (in a vain attempt to be cool, hip and relevant - Twitter of course - with the @FederalReserve handle naturally), all in a quest for faux transparency and openness, which nobody who is even remotely familiar with the Fed's actions is buying, without getting a few heckles in the process, it was wrong. Unfortunately, as the currency debasement race has simply taken a short breather ahead of a presidential election and a possible regional war with wide-ranging commodity price implications, before it resumes into the frantic final lap, the below sample is merely a modest appetizer of what is yet to come.

And here is a real time tracker of all @FederalReserve tweets:
»
- 19869 reads
- Printer-friendly version
- Send to friend
- advertisements -
Chalk me up in the "none of the above" category as well.
nada.
I pay enough attention to this farce already as it is.
but at least reading ZH has its moments of hilarity.
Nope. Don't text on my damn phone either - it's just a phone.
Spend enough time when I should be doing something constructive hanging around this place - few Muppets.
Since they call supporters of Ron Paul Paulbots, Will they call these tweeters "Truthbots" because they seem to be tweeting to ask the 99 year old criminal conspiracy [ R.I.C.O. eligibilityTM ] to confess. Can a conspiracy plead the 5th? Just wondering.
Fed Facebook next...???
Undoubtedly.
Same shit, different pile.
You didn't notice the "Thank you for using BookFace, signed C.I.A." when you log in?

Will they "friend" us?
Will they "follow" us?
I can haz bailoutz too plez?

Watching the central banking twits get heckled on Twitter: Priceless
This is what we built the internet for FiSHeS!
Let 'em have it with full qwerty!
The poor dears. Someone should have told them they were less popular than salmonella a long time ago.
How long before Twitter starts cancelling accounts that are mean to ol'e Benny Boy?
Wow, you really missed the point of the exercise.
How so? Do you think there is any point in allowing people to continue to tweet after the Fed gets the name/IP of the twitterer?
Or is there some other diabolical plan involved here that I'm not seeing?
If I were them, I'd let people just keep digging.
Many here have pointed out that there is only so much room in the camps. Ultimately, you can't argue with that, limits being what they are.
So if you have to prioritize, keep giving them rope.
That assumes the Gov needs any rope from you to begin with.
When the camps open, there will be no need for justification or reason, only addresses.
I think there will be plenty of room, the universe of people who even know what the Federal Reserve is is relatively small, never mind the number of active twitter accounts.
Fear not, there will be plenty of room for all of those that are willing to live in captivity for the crime of independant thought, I dont suspect that percentage will be to high.
I will look forward to meeting you there.
Perhaps we could play some chess.
The Fed needs a new motto.
Oh, I don't know, something like...
The Federal Reserve System, making 99 weekers out of the 99 percenters.
What was their old motto?
" You haven't been fucked like this since grade school"
Plus 100 for the Tyler Durden fight club reference.
The Federal Reserve, raping America since 1913.
uZIRPed = genius
Benny has a facebook account.
search for; b.s.bernanke (Shalom is his middle name, fyi...)
One of the definitions of shalom; it can refer to the well-being, welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals.
Obviously the group in question is the ulra-wealthy.........
Now's my chance to personally say to the Fed to f*** off and stop squeezing our cash with your money-printing, inflation inducing, dollar-devaluing ways!
Someone register @FRBElevator
N O W
the fed is way behind usps....the usps allows patrons to print postage stamps from home.....why can't the fed supply frn printing software to the public??
"possible regional war ..."
regional my ass....when iran is invaded by the indonesian war president, it will become global.....but just as the bush crime syndicates are murderers, so too is baby bush's twin...
What's a "Twitter"?
Tall tree's and short rope's time is here !
They might run out of data storage capacity by midnight.
Oh, well.
I'm as certain as I can be that my information has been collected since about March 20, 2003, the night after the beginning of Iraq War II.
Here is my pointless contribution:
Todd Bryner @pointpark04
@federalreserve Central Bankers from Jekyll Island: Devaluing the US$ since 1913. What's in your wallet...is worth a lot less than before.
Yeah, I assume ZERO privacy.
BTW, no contribution is pointless. That's just an idea someone placed in your mind long ago. ;)
+10
They'll print more.
Absolutely priceless!!! I hope this is just the beginning.
Awesome! The FED are a bunch of f*cking idiots.
I don't have a twatter account.
Someone should paste the free pdf of The Creature From Jekyll Island.
http://www.archive.org/details/Creature_From_Jekyl_Island
This post delivers!
Them Fed bitchez just called out the internet. Really - how fucking dumb can they get?
They must have believed the Sabu #FUD, so they think they can yell "Come at me, bro" to the whole.fucking.twitterverse.
I ca't decide if it's stupid, or really really stupid. They have no idea what they expose just by posting to Twitter (unless they're doing it from within a Tails instance).
They live in a bubble, and will be retreating back into it in the face of the new 'input' they find technology offers them.
i think someone is jumping the tweet
It has been fairly clear to me for some time that those people didn't have much of a clue. It is now quite clear. Lordy. Save the last bullet...
Is there a tweet war going on with the Fed and ZeroHedge.
this will be good to watch
"unemployment is dropping" ???
Thousands of professional shills just got hired to TWEET.
Job creation, the dual mandate is alive and well!
Alas one must be a SEIU member to apply
Brings a new meaning to Service..
It's like a complaint box at a concentration camp.
Epicness ensues!
ZH=EPIC WIN
FED=EPIC FAIL.....on so many levels!
Final Fed tweet -
shred everything..bust up all the hard drives .... loan me a couple of trillion to get out of town
What hard drives? There are no records or balance sheets. They are printing the Trillions already, have been since 1913.
Just remember the part of indefinitely imprisoning US citizens when you decide to tweet on there. Your name will be making it to a list when you openingly defy the Chinese, I mean US government institutions.
shit, wrong slot:
Its time to place your bets. When does the FEDTweet end? I give them one week. They will pull the plug on this because the FED will not stand being made a fool of.
I'll give it 48 hours. They don't like being made fun of but it takes them a while to catch up.
Thats right. They'll do it just fine sitting at their computers CTRL P'ing all over us instead and as per usual.
why not? Jamie Dimon whacked his nads yesterday. Can u sing soprano?

Tyler,
For the benefit of all of us non-tweeters, please consider keeping this "real time tracker of all @FederalReserve tweets" going for a while. The live stream is quite amusing, and provides me an excuse to not go outside to shovel the snow off my roof.
Here's the real time URL for all the funny comments
Will anyone ever see a PRO-Fed tweet?
http://twitter.com/#!/search/realtime/%40federalreserve
Who knew?
This interweb stuff is pretty fancy.
Now THAT is funny, right there (comments).
Out of the cesspool of idiots - which idiot at the Fed thought Twitter would be a good idea?
I love it. THEY STEPPED RIGHT INTO IT.
Hm, looks like the only people that are aware of the Fed are not in suport of it. interesting indeed.
To know it is to loathe it.
LOL @ the Thomas Crown tweet. I was freaking crying over that one.
OMFG:
FederalMichael @federalreserve cheaper loans for small entrepeneurs too. Overall the federal reserve policy creates well being for all.
I am Elmer J Fudd, Millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.
Again!
I am Federal Reserve Board, Zillionaire. I own your mansions and your yachts.
I am Federal Reserve Board, Zillionaire. I own the pensions and the stocks.
I am Federal Reserve Board, Zillionaire. I'll rape your women and your dogs.
BANZAI!!!!!!!!

TeleTubbies? "again! again!"
This is probably a trap...Homeland Security is tracking everyone's comments (as they've said multiple times recently) with certain keywords.
So, buy more ammo and watch out for the black SUVs / helicopters.
Wait a sec...there's too many of us...
"So, buy more mammo and watch out for the slack SUBs / belicopters." It won't kick out that way.
This looks like it is building into one of the Fed's biggest mistakes. hahahahaha Watching these live tweets is fucking delicious!! What the hell were they thinking? Could they possibly not know how many people have caught on to them? Holy shit!
Damn, synchronicity.
Did they really not know how mad the wakened public is at them? Seriously: this will go over as well as NEW COKE.
Wait.
Or are they just making us more pliable into accepting a cheaper less healthy sweetener?
Distraction?
Oh horse pussy. It's gone from a banana republic to a circus...really, really sad
Bernank: If we cannot jerry rig market rumors though basic media utilities. Our new twitter account will ripen new trading prospects by the means of emotional trading decisions…. Bwahahahaha.
Just to memorialize..
camfinley RT @zerohedge: Thanks to the @FederalReserve arrival, the value of all tweets will collapse by 98% in a few years
Caught that one too. I had a hearty chuckle!
haha this is entertainment! twitter posts "inflating" lol
great stuff.
Hello Ben. Did you know Disney Fantasy ship has been launched. You & your minions from the City of London can helicopter in, while dropping your free money along the way.

Any bird brain who tweets about the Fed(not federal) will be on the potential terrorist list of big brother..
Ps Fuck You's Bankers.
Good, a bigger list means safety in numbers.
Exactly. I'm tired of the gutless chicken shits who are too scared to comment on ZH, or tweet to the twats at Mafia headquarters on Constitution Ave (LOL ... what an ironic address). They're too cowardly and lazy to even help others to help them.
Shit, Ben.
'Unintended consequences' have a more visceral meaning for you now?
I've been waiting a long time for this glorious day.

I think the Fed twittered up so they could get a better feel for the anger level amongst the rabble and adjust their plug-pulling timetable accordingly. A heat check on the frogpot, so to speak.
Thanks for posting this @FederalReserve twitter feed. It's genuinely fascinating stuff. Sure seems like there is a lot of anger out there about the Fed.
The question is how does this anger translate into change in the real world? Seems like the only answer is buying physical. Otherwise this twittering is just going to go down in the dustbin of Twitter history like "#Blackmomscatchphrase" and "#ThingsSweeterThanARiceCake".
So what's it going to be, @ Twitter Monkeys? LOL
It's going to be impossible for the FED to limit its creation of worthless digits to just 140 characters.

This is the height of hubris, blind arrogance and conceit, that the FED would try Twitter. Another prime, perfect example of management so out of touch with reality, with nothing but psychophantic toadies, "Yes Boss!" ing them, that they are to become fools. Weren't they bright enough to run some focus groups or something? They couldn't see this coming?
Nope.
They look like old men running around with little trollops, baseball cap on backwards, looking hip and young, pissing away money on them, who think they're in love, but deep down, they know the gold-diggers are just doing them for their money, and they are doing them for them. You know, like George Soros.
Pathetic.
What did they expect to happen with Twitter?
No man over 24 has any business "Tweeting!" let alone most organizations. Who follows the crap, really? And now they've become a laughing stock.
But I assure you, their insufferable arrogance and sanctimony will allow them to lean into the wind, double-down and continue on this path.
End it FED.

@federalreserve I guess only speculators are allowed here? how are the savers doing. How about pensioners on fixed income
I don't want to follow the federalreserve, I want to follow the tweets directed at the federal reserve. Twitter get on that.
Would someone who has a twitter account please ask the Benank this question for me?
Everyone knows that only God can create something from nothing.
Ben, what does it feel like to be God?
Eustace Mullins made that point and speculated it was tied into their kabbalah beliefs.
Twitter. Between twat and shitter.

Ben Bernanke tries his hand at Twitter:

OH, I see. Following that twitter feed & one of the documents I found this:
http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/press/enforcement/20091216a.htm
I'm shocked.
No, really. Honest. Pinky-swear. Tells you how long SWIFT was under pressure and of all things...
In the settlements with the Department of Justice and the District Attorney, Credit Suisse has agreed to pay $268 million, each, to the United States and to New York, for a total of $536 million.
ya, that's right.
Bet they didn't expect this (in 1913)
