Is it ironic that the current Chairman has the initials B.S.?

Did I miss something or did they leave out Benjamin Strong (1914-28) the asshole that was buddies with English Central Banker Montagu Norman who convinced Strong it would be a good idea to weaken the dollar so the pound could gain in value and return to the gold standard at 3.5-1,instead of 4.8-1.

For those who are not familiar with what happened this inflation of the currency directly lead to the real estate bubble and stock market bubble of the late 1920s.  Murray Rothbard documents it well in his book “Americas Great Depression” as well in his “History of Banking” book.

In either event - Fuck Bernanke, fuck Nixion, fuck Greenspan, and most certainly fuck FDR seven times over. Fuckity fuck fuck cunt fuck.

At the end of the day, I do applaud them being able to paper this over and have it still working. Of courfse, the paper will kill it in the end, it is still astounding it has continued this long.

Fuck FDR again.

Except Jews were the "commies" in the Jewish  "Bolshevik Revolution", where 50 million white Christians were murdered 30 years before the supposed holoHOAX.

Look it up for yourselves, and be sure to learn about Ilya Ehrenburg.   He hated goyim, especially white ones.  See if Jewish wikipedia even mentions the fact this creep was a Jew.

 I'm not anti-jew, but I believe we should hold criminal Jews and their conspirators accountable like they do the rest of us.

"Jew Haters"

Ok, let me expound. I DON'T hate all Jews.  For instance... Dr. Alan Sabrosky, former Head of Studies with the Army War College. I'm a big fan of his. Know why? He has been very vocal that Mossad was involved with 9/11.  Not that big of a revelation when you consider the FBIs own words regarding the Israelis arrested on 9/11... remember? Vans explosives, Urban Moving Systems??

Those that still tow the line... Israel greatest ally, blah, blah, blah. Are either ignorant or complicit.  Lavon Affair, USS Liberty, 9/11, enough bullshit, it's the information age and the internet is exposing the truth.

Ok.  Will you speak out against concentration camps, or will you deny they extisted?  Will you speak out against new ones?  Will you openly say that the Jews have a right to exist, and to defend themselves and thier homeland?  I apologize in advance if I hastily judged you.  Either way, God bless.

Americans concentrated Japanese Americans in "concentration camps" right here on our soil at the very same time Jews were detained in Germany, yet the Zionist controlled media never mentions this fact.  Nice bluff though, pulling out the whole camp idea and tying it into terrorist Israel's right to exist and "defend themselves and their 'homeland'".  And cut with the tears, you were never in any camp, except maybe summer camp in upstate NY.

LMAO!  Wake up goyim, you've been JEWED!

You watch too much tv, and Speilberg is not a historian.  Not only did you invoke the holohoax as if you were there, but when that didn't take you threatened that I "better watch my back." Typical Jew BS.

Strong was President of NY Fed... not officially the chairman. And the NY Fed was incredibly more powerful than the others during the period you reference (quite likely due to the Montagu connection you mentioned, in addition to his House of Morgan channels).

The evil son of a bitch was on Jekyll Island for the fateful meeting -- he was Morgan's emissary.

The Fed Chairman is an expert "word crafter"

 

Always been that way, I doubt it will ever change in our lifetime.

Same PigMen in charge.

Same Fractional Reserve Banking still intact.

Same Ponzi Pyramid, keeps getting bigger and bigger, as poor Doug Noland summarized on Saturday.

The specific passages to which my buddy Rasputin referred to this weekend, that show beyond a shadow of a doubt that NOTHING has changed and that the same Thugs/Pigs are in charge of an ever-expanding system, are as follows:

- Federal Reserve Credit surged $20.9 trillion to $2.904 trillion.

- Fed Credit was up $487 billion from a year ago, or 20.2%.

- Fed Foreign Holdings of Treasury, Agency Debt this past week...$3.392 trillion

- Custody holdings' were up $48.5 billion year-over-year, or 1.4%.

- Global central bank 'international reserve assets' up $940 billion, or 10.2% to $10.185 trillion.

- Over two years, reserves were $2.364 trillion higher, for 30% growth.

...not to mention that Uncle Thug has piled on an ADDITIONAL:

- Five-TRILLION fiatscos of debt

...on top of the already ten-trillion he had amassed, prior to 2008.

Nothing has changed, and nothing ever will.

It's not an issue of IF, but WHEN.  No, it'll never change AND continue to function/operate, it'll go from a state of operation to a state of nonexistence, that's the ONLY change that we'll see (and most cannot fathom how things will be Then).

Thoughts on the Crisis of Capitalism

Rasputin or The Great Disintegration

Well, today we're going to find out whether or not Bernanke is...
Rasputin - Wed, Jun 23, 2010 - 07:26 AM

...willing to let "Great Disintegration I" continue to accelerate, or whether he--and the other Fed Politburo goons--will finally throw in the towel.

For, anything LESS than a pronouncement from the "Money Masters" that "QuantSleaze 2.0" AND "Infinite Zero Interest Rates to Infinity and Beyond" will result in the continued collapse of:

1. The McMansion/McMortgage market

2. The stock gambling casinos

3. The commercial real estate sham

...and

4. the rest of the Ponzi Pyramid economy

...all of which are wholly dependent upon the relentles, metastatic growth of debt.

(Ras Conclusion): Clearly even the formerly-clueless Bernanke and the Boys now must be aware that pulling out of buying Fannie/Freddie MBS and debt by the Fed and Uncle Gorilla yanking the "Bribe for Homedebtors" enticement have re-scroomed the phony "recovery".

So, unless The Beard has had some religious conversion from Keynesianism/Miltyaniasm to von Miseanism, then expect the Politburo to proffer a statement confirming ZIRP forever and perhaps more mumbling about re-instituting Infinite fiatsco-flinging at the comatose McHousing sector.

So, what's it gonna be, little Benny? Are you willing to finally allow the sorely-needed liquidation to continue?

Or will you live up to all your posturing, threats, and previous actions?

We shall see today at 2:15 pm-ish, when a breathless Steve Liesman dissects every syllable of his hero's FOMC release.

What an extraordinaray video "No Jobs In Chicago", or anywhere else in the world for that matter, where the manufacturing base etc. has been exported to China or Asia. One correspondent to that clip implied that if only these dumb-asses would go to a library and study some, they could all have a job like his. He's too fucking stupid to extrapolate from his own thoughts that if everyone reached his level of education they would all be in line for his job. It would be a priceless scene to see that line outside the door to the Human Resources manager of his firm, all applying for his job. Yup, everyone can own a corner store. All would be rosy.People camped out in the cold and he claims a lack of motivation. What a prize. Jerk.

These lines make for a great opportunity for patriots to walk the lines with hot chocolate and fliers that spell out the circumstances of exactly why the are camping out and standing in line for a goddamned assembly line job. "References to the FED, Austrian Economics and sound money, Ron Paul and the constitution, Mises, Rothbard or any of the myriad quotes such as Fords famous quote

 “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company.Or this...

 “Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal – that there is no human relation between master and slave.” Leo Tolstoy, Russian writer.

Or this...

“I am afraid the ordinary citizen will not like to be told that the banks can and do create money. And they who control the credit of the nation direct the policy of Governments and hold in the hollow of their hand the destiny of the people.” Reginald McKenna, as Chairman of the Midland Bank, addressing stockholders in 1924.

 

The flier could include something like this: As you camp and stand here in the cold, begging for consideration, consider this: How do you like your destiny being controlled?  The incumbent leaders are the reason you are standing here in the cold. Do you see them standing here with you?  They destroyed your workplace through implementing their globalist policies. They planned this and keeping this in mind, they have not proposed to recind these policies thereby keeping you jobless, they deliberately took it away?

Had enough?

Investigate these links and if so inclined, register to vote for Ron Paul in your coming primary. He has promised to make changes to return to the constitution, restoring health to our nation, benifiting you and your family, returning your independence and wealth."

http://www.themoneymasters.com/the-money-masters/famous-quotations-on-ba...

That may pique their interest, remove the cataracts induced bt the MSM from their eyes and motivate them to take action. 

Any patriots out there or Ron Paul supporters, you are welcome to use this.

Why don't we add a little truth to the BS.  Less we forget:

Let me end my talk by abusing slightly my status as an official representative of the Federal Reserve. I would like to say to Milton and Anna: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.

 I suppose they won't do a Great Depression again.  Maybe a Great, Great Depression or Depression Squared.  An Über Depression.  Cataclysmic Depression?

Fell free to use any of the above Ben if it suits the situation.

Doublespeak is so cute.

OT:

I smell a trade war a brewin and can hear the tea kettle whistlin.  I for one am tired of finding store shelves full of Chinese made crap with a life cycle of nil.  Bought a water hose the other day, way overpriced.  Plugged it in and turned the water on and it blew apart at the swivel when the pressure hit it.  Our stores are full of chinese made crap with little alternative to buy and replace over and over and over again because it was designed to fail.  It is like the chinese have done with manufacturing what goldman sachs has done with financial constructs.  Designing to fail benefits the worst elements of our society. I feel like a hamster on a wheel anymore.

Free Advice to Target:  Become the store that sells quality American made products where ever possible, and advertise as such.  Make it happen, and we will beat down a path to your door.  This is your chance to put Wal Mart to shame, educated conscientious consumers want quality American (or at minimum not chinese crap) stuff as an alternative.  Our stores are full of chinese crap that has zero quality.  Make it happen and you will reap the rewards.  I for one am sick of no alternative to Junk, and will happily pay the premium if neccesary.  I think many of my fellow countrymen feel the same way.

Go shopping tomorrow.  Buy an American made telephone, an American made television and an American made axe. 

Let us know when you find this stuff anywhere at any price.

I've made this shopping trip in 1993 with the same determination you describe when I needed an axe made with decent steel.  Home Depot had one marked "Assembled in the USA".  The handle was from Canada, made from Norwegian spruce.  The head was made in China with China molded into the cast iron.  It was assembled in the USA, because the buyer had to fasten the head to the handle.  Oh - and there was an American flag decal on the handle with printing "Assembled in the USA".  Smaller print on the decal said "printed in Indonesia".

There's a ton of stuff that's American made.  But we swim in it, it's part of our culture, so we don't see it.

America is the biggest and best manufacturer of arms and weapons on the planet (though that's not necessarily something I would be proud of).  We have the best universities and the best original research, though this lead is slipping.  We produce more food than we can possibly eat, which is saying something considering just how much Americans eat.  We still have a ton of fossil fuels out there for production.  We lead the world in computing, and our culture, music, movies, etc., are exported throughout the world.  And all that stuff "made in China" by 13 year old slave girls is still conceived of and designed by American corporations.

Mind you, not that I think any of this will save us.  I'm as bearish on America as the next guy.  But just because we aren't assembling as many things as before in factories, doesn't mean we're not creating anything at all.

An impressive series of mini lessons in the art and technique of mendacity, and swindling.  Thank you for posting.  Almost 100 years of very successful class warfare conducted by .01 percent of the population to appropriate the wealth of undeserving lower quintiles.  And still almost no one out there understands what has happened.  Television has played a large role in general anesthisization (sp) of the victims so I guess all is well, they never felt or saw a thing.

"When the Federal Reserve act was passed, the people of the United States did not perceive that... the United States were to be lowered to the position of a coolie country which has nothing but raw materials and heavy goods for export; that Russia [China, India...] was destined to supply the man power and that this country was to supply financial power to an international superstate -- a superstate controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure."

I think it is too easy to blame Jews in general, because they have been the greatest victims of their brethern, the Edomites, who while are also Jews, are in reality, Jew-Mother-Fuckers.   They never experienced the stint of Jewish slavery in Egypt and fought against the Jewish community when it arrived out of the desert after wandering for 40 years.   These Edomites co-habitated with the Philistines against the children of Israel.  Upon the return of, and conquest of the Promised Land, these Edomites weasled their way back into the community, and by stealth and crook, they established for themselves those positions of Pharise and Sadduci, they became the money changers who Christ drove from the temple, they schemed and plotted against Jesus, paying finally 30 pieces of silver for his betrayal.   And now their descendants occupy positions of power in New York, Washington, Chicago, the capitals of Europe, elsewhere, and Jerusalem.  Their objective is to serve their lord, the Prince of the World, the very god Lloyd Blankenfein refers to, and they are all traitors.   And being traitors they have forfeited their rights to live amongst honest men.   And if we are to be free, they must die.

For anyone not clear on the machinations and levers of the shadow banking government the following book sets this all out in a clear and concise history - "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" by Gary Allen (1971). This book can be downloaded by searching google for the title of this book and 4shared. Keep an open mind, get educated, start learning how the world is being truly run. Once you are clear and the pieces start falling into place you will then realise what a job we have on our hands. In any case right now the best form of defence is knowledge is power.
