With One Word, Bernanke Reveals Who Actually Runs the Country
Yesterday, in his appearance before Congress, Bernanke revealed with a single word who really runs the United States:
Senator Sanders: "Will you tell the American people to whom you lent $2.2 trillion of their dollars?"No?
Bernanke: "No"
Indeed, Bernanke and Treasury refuse to provide this information even confidentially and off-the-record to Congress. And the official overseer of the TARP bailout program can't even get the information of where all the bailout money is going. See also this.
With his single word "no", Bernanke revealed that Congress is impotent and out of the loop. In other words, Congress doesn't really run the country in the core area of business, finance and the economy. The financial giants and their servants at the Fed and Treasury do.
Indeed, Bernanke's testimony is related to - and as important as - the fact that the warmongers gave themselves dictatorial powers.
The warmongers and the financial elite run the country. The people and their elected representatives do not, except to the extent that those representatives play ball with the real powers-that-be behind the scenes.
This has actually been going on for some time, as the following quotes show.
"The real rulers in Washington are invisible, and exercise power from behind the scenes."
- Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, 1952
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
- Woodrow Wilson, The New Freedom (1913)
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To destroy this invisible government, to befoul the unholy alliance between corrupt business and corrupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship of the day."
- Theodore Roosevelt
"A power has risen up in the government greater than the people themselves, consisting of many and various powerful interests, combined in one mass, and held together by the cohesive power of the vast surplus in banks."
- John C. Calhoun, Vice President of the United States
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies...The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the Government, to whom it properly belongs."
- Thomas Jefferson
"If the people only understood the rank injustice of our Money and Banking system, there would be a revolution before morning."
- Andrew Jackson
"There is an evil which ought to be guarded against in the indefinite accumulation of property from the capacity of holding it in perpetuity by…corporations. The power of all corporations ought to be limited in this respect. The growing wealth acquired by them never fails to be a source of abuses."
- James Madison
"In this point of the case the question is distinctly presented whether the people of the United States are to govern through representatives chosen by their unbiased suffrages or whether the money and power of a great corporation are to be secretly exerted to influence their judgment and control their decisions."
- Andrew Jackson
"I am more than ever convinced of the dangers to which the free and unbiased exercise of political opinion -- the only sure foundation and safeguard of republican government -- would be exposed by any further increase of the already overgrown influence of corporate authorities."
- Martin Van Buren, Eighth President of the United States
"As we view the achievements of aggregated capital, we discover the existence of trusts, combinations, and monopolies, while the citizen is struggling far in the rear or is trampled to death beneath an iron heel. Corporations, which should be the carefully restrained creatures of the law and the servants of the people, are fast becoming the people's masters."
- Grover Cleveland, 22nd and 24th President of the United States
"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes. We should take nothing for granted."
- Dwight D. Eisenhower
"There exists a shadowy Government with its own Air Force, its own Navy, its own fundraising mechanism, and the ability to pursue its own ideas of national interest, free from all checks and balances, and free from the law itself."
- Senator Daniel K. Inouye
"You don’t have a clue of what’s going on in the government, and neither do the American people. If they did, there would be a revolution in this country.”
- Texas governor and quintessential political insider John Connally

ReplyDeleteHistory is clear....just a matter of time, unless they tie us up in WWW III first (after all, military positions are jobs, right?)

We should recognize that the lack-of-accountability clause was an integral part of GWB's bail-out plan, one he refused to compromise on. Was this promulgated by GW or by members of the Bush cartel? We will never know, but we should have fought the battle then.
ReplyDeleteпиздец вам всем )))
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to be rude, but the quotes are pretty inflammatory. If I use them anywhere, I'm going to face challenges to their veracity.
ReplyDeleteLinks, please? Or someway I can show folks the quotes are legit?
I don't want Inoye's press secretary camping on my lawn or anything.
It really should be a no-brainer to understand why bernanke cannot say where 2.2 trillion has gone. It has gone into a real black hole, a black-ops hole. The Fed is manipulating the markets and it was all it could do today to keep it at least even with the last surge they initiated. Ever heard of PAM, see the CIA's on workup on it - https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol50no4/using-prediction-markets-to-enhance-us-intelligence-capabilities.html.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the paragraph headed with the title, "Market Manipulation and Bias".
It is a matter of national security, that will be their alibi when revealed.
There is a very old adage for stock market traders which says "Don't fight the Fed." That says it all.

ReplyDeleteIf the extortionists had to control 50 seperate republics they would find it extremely difficult. They made it easy on themselves by centralizing power, bankrupting the states individually, and usurping power from them. This country was never a free, constitutional republic. It has always been the servant of European elites, as is all of europe. People, throughout all of history, just can't seem to break their egos away from having a middle man control their lives. When this comes to a head all will be revealed, but by then things will have changed to make it impossible to go back to whatever materialistic hayday we seem to scratch and claw to keep.
ReplyDeleteThere is no value in any of the fiat currencies emanating from Baron Rothschild. If there were they would be backed by tangible collateral. Instead, they hand out paper printed from thin air and give it a value greater than human life.
A monumental, yet subtle shift in human consciousness is all it will take to end all of this. It will require the ability of people to detect deception as it is happening, maybe from a change in aura or vibration. I know that sounds kooky but it is the ability of one man to deceive another that keeps the pyramid standing.
As long as one man can deceive another there will never be peace. When no man can deceive another, there can be nothing but peace.
If enough people manifest this, it will happen.
You can tell that there just has to be a shadow government in place. You have to check this out on best 9/11 conspiracy theory ever! It will blow your mind!!!
ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! Is anyone out there educated or over the age of 16? Any educated person who is over the age of 16 who pays any attention at all to the little pieces, understands that people in politics or has a political position will not and cannot be honest and truthful. There is an old saying that you can always tell when a lawyer or politician is lying by looking to see if his lips are moving. So, let us act like educated adults and have the wisdom to accept what we cannot change.(Dahlin & Kaufman 1982) Tony Dahlin Venice
ReplyDeletePS Remember, if citizens print money it's called counterfeiting when the government prints money it's called inflation. (Dahlin & Kaufman 1982)
