Best left to one of the founders — Thomas Jefferson: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation …will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their father’s conquered.”

From the NY Times coverage

“Like Mr. Bernanke, Mr. Bush’s Treasury secretary, Henry M. Paulson Jr., predicted in 2007 — wrongly, it turned out — that the subprime collapse would be contained, the report notes.”

That sums it up in one short sentence. Social engineering gone array…

In the photo above of Bernie and Greenie…is that a hanky in Greenies hand to wipe his tears or is it evidence crinkled up to destroy?
And there stands Bernie looking ‘ mummy-fied ‘ frozen in thought.

The New York Times is largely a degenerative mouthpiece for power in this country. Gretchen Morgensen, a hack who has cut and past some insightful reporting on the whole mortgage affair, will only go so far, like the rest of the paper, to crticize the financial terrorists.

Just as I thought…this whole mess started during Clinton’s last year in office. My…that reminds me of his last year or so…he must have had ‘ something ‘ on his mind. And both his thoughts came true……..???
Sooo, after reading the article, I look forward to Thursday’s final report. But reading that the committee panel was devided along partisan lines which could blunt the impact of the findings. Party should not have been an issue. All were on that panel to investigate the issue of the crisis, the whole greedy mess caused by all involved in the financial industry and the government. We the people know this. Now… why be on a panel to give an opinion if you judge by what party you hang out with. If that is the case…how is one to judge their opinion or findings to be honest or swayed? Could they have not left their party outside the door before entering to sit at the panel table? Geeeeeze.
I know more names will be given in the final report….such as regulators who got paid a very high salary/with full bebefits.. and never did their job. And the banksters who filled their deep pockets and laughed about what they pulled on everybody in America and around the world. And the government plugging their ears when the citizens were screaming for help. Oh ya, let’s read what the panel has to say…..what they found. We found alot of wrong doing’s, see if they can beat that. If so..we may see some action……

The Masters of the Universe. Great picture. The Ben Bernank’s suit, depending on the pixelation of the picture, looks to a sharskin blend of 95% wool and 5% silk. The fabric is truly breathtaking. Custom made, that suit is about 2 to 3 thousand bucks perhaps.

Of course they have to leave extra room in the crotch area for the massive set of gonads that The Ben Bernank must carry around.
