Helicopter Ben: Fall Guy

Coming soon! Sweet Revenge in the form of an IMF led investigation of the Federal Reserve Bank.

If you’re not reading international newspapers in addition to your more mainstream local fare, I guarantee you have NO idea what’s going on in America. The United States doesn’t have reporters; it has court stenographers. We haven’t had a free press since World War II. To find out what’s really happening, you need to see what foreigners are saying about us, and then take heed.

Humiliation for Mr. Dollar: Ben Bernanke, the chairman of the United States Federal Reserve Bank, faces a general investigation by the International Monetary Fund. Just one more example of the Fed losing its power . . .

If I were Ben Bernake I’d just step down now and let some other douchebag take the fall. Bernake didn’t start this quiet war on the American public. He joined late in the game and was given his orders, and he’s been a good soldier for the Reich. Unfortunately for him, however, he’ll be the one left holding the bag when the whole mess is documented and finally presented to the world.
