"They want to Ruin You!"
Sean Penn as LA gov. candidate Willie Stark, stumping to Lousiana's rural poor. - "Hicks" economically subjugated and politically disenfranchised by New Orleans 1930s powerbrokers. Based on the populist rise and fall of Huey Long, derided as a "dictator" by his opponents, but the politician who may well have driven FDR to sponsor Social Security and other programs that saved America from the Depression.
Truly "all good things must come to an end" and it is with appreciation and respect that we salute Mr. Keith Olbermann for departing his self named "Keith Olbermann Show" and the NBC owned MSNBC network that ran the show.
We hope Mr. Olbermann decided to leave out of FRUSTRATION that the NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC cable 'news' networks were ABJECTLY REFUSING to CONFRONT the criminal larceny and financial crimes being perpetrated, and/or covered up, by BOTH the Obama-Pelosi "Democrats" (what with Obama's entire "economics team" being stuffed with Robert Rubin toady Goddamn-Sachsers, people including Larry Summers, Gary Gensler, Mary Schapiro, Eileen Rominger, Jacob Lew, recently departed Peter Orszag, etc.) and the Republican Party, whether under Bush, Cheney, John Snow, Hank Paulson, and Ben Bernanke economic sabotage team 2 years ago, or under the current crop of Republican "leaders" including John Boehner, Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor... and the same Ben Bernanke!
We hope that Mr. Olbermann will in the future devote himself to exposing the financial crimes of the Obama's Larry Summers run Rubinite "economics" crew, the gang that currently bears the most responsibility for the CONTINUED SABOTAGE DESTRUCTION "outsourcing" of American jobs and industry, the CONTINUING SABOTAGE DESTRUCTION of giving billions upon TRILLIONS of dollars of "back door bailouts") (like "liquidity injections" and "Quantitative Easings") to the member/owner banks of the American economy killing, very privately owned 'Federal Reserve' banking cartel, which allows those predatory and parasitic financers to engage in "pump and dump" hostile takeover attacks, not only on individual American companies, but on entire currencies (that is, the entire economies of countries like Iceland, Ireland, Greece, etc.) and especially on American pension funds, which are the life's blood of American families' fast fading retirement hopes
(which are, under the blows of the treasonous Neo-Con bankers and their hired "economist" and "journalist" hacks, fast becoming nothing but distant dreams and fading memories.)
Indeed, we have been attempting to do a piece on Mr. Olbermann's MSNBC colleague, Rachel Maddow, who is now running her show according to the New York Neo-Con Times and Washington "Pravda on the Potomac" Post template: endlessly talk about Washington's inside political PROCESS... and thereby never have to really discuss the underlying issues, especially in regards to the looting and financial sabotage of America's working families. In short, Ms. Maddow loves nothing better than to talk about Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, RNC Chairman Michael Steele, or other Republican buffoons, which allows Ms. Maddow to IGNORE that fact that it is OBAMA's Rubinite/Larry Summers "economics team" that is pushing RADICAL RIGHT-WING REPUBLICAN financial deregulation, economic larceny, uncounted bailouts and looted pensions economic sabotage.
IF Ms. Rachel Maddow were being paid by Rupert Murdoch and Fox 'news' (or other Neo-Con GoddamnSachs/Israel war lobby affiliated paymasters) to WHITEWASH Obama's "of, by, and for Goddamn-Sachs" crews' relentless corruption and serial financial larceny, she could hardly do a better job than she is already doing on her "Rachel Maddow" show at MSNBC !!
=============================
Keith Olbermann Gives Abrupt Good-Bye to MSNBC by David Bauder, AP 'news',21 Jan. 2011 AP - Keith Olbermann was MSNBC's most popular personality and single-handedly led its transformation to an outspoken, left-leaning cable news network in prime time. Despite that, he often seemed to be walking on a tightrope with his job. Friday night, it snapped. Olbermann returned from one last commercial break on "Countdown" to tell viewers it was his last broadcast, and read a James Thurber short story in a three-minute exit statement. Simultaneously, MSNBC e-mailed a statement that "MSNBC and Keith Olbermann have ended their contract." The network thanked him and said, "we wish him well in his future endeavors." ...MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines insisted Olbermann's exit had nothing to do with the acquisition of parent company NBC Universal by Comcast, which received regulatory approval last week. That deal marked the exit of NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker, who saw Olbermann's value in turning around a once-unprofitable network, despite headaches the mercurial personality could sometimes cause his bosses. "There were many occasions, particularly in the last 2½ years, where all that surrounded the show - but never the show itself - was just too much for me," Olbermann said in his exit statement. "But your support and loyalty and, if I may use the word, insistence, ultimately required that I keep going. My gratitude to you is boundless."
We hope that we will see and hear from the courageous, outspoken, and insightful Mr. Olbermann in the near future!
What is ironic is that the VIRULENT hatred of those policies and programs scorned as "liberal" (or "progressive" or "Democratic") only rise to the actionable level, by Right-Wing gunmen, during times of economic crisis (which is to say, high and pervasive unemployment) - they have been PROPAGANDIZED to believe that High Unemployment ONLY occurs because of "liberal interference" in so called 'free markets.'
(Actually, prior to the century of liberal and progressive reforms, 1900-1999, recessions, economic contractions, and "PANICS" as they were called then, happened frequently, and often resulted in near famine, starvation conditions for settlers on the frontier who had poor crop harvests, not to mention the urban thousands crammed into dismal, filthy, crowded tenament slums, who no sanitation or clean water, much less social safety nets.)
Timmy McVeigh had been unable to find a job during the Bush-1 Recession... (brought about by the twin economic hammers of Right-Wing DEREGULATION of the Savings & Loan banks - an open invitation to fraud by connected inside bankers - and the subsequent BAILOUTS of those fraudulent bankers who drove their banks into bankruptcy, which sucked even more money "discretionary income" OUT of the pockets of working Americans forced to pay higher taxes to pay for both those S&K "bailouts"... AND INTEREST on the "bailouts" government DEBT - the now 'NORMAL' means by which "elite" bankers first defraud consumers, then EXTORT taxpayers),
...and the straw that drove the MERITORIOUS COMBAT soldier, involuntarily discharged Gulf War 1 VETERAN to a criminal lifestyle was when Army paymaster bureaucrats sent the discharged and chronically unemployed (which is to say, destitute) McVeigh a letter saying they had accidentally "overpaid" him $1,000; , and that he now owed Uncle sam's Army $1,000 in overpay - a sum of money McVeigh found daunting and impossible to find in RECESSION riddled America of the early 1990s.
In both cases, loner and unemployed White males have been DEMAGOGUED to HATE the very social safety net programs, which could have made their unemployment more bearable!
This IS the TREASONOUS agenda of the Sulzberger New York Times, and Meyer/Graham/ Weymouth Washington Post: imply that the GREAT WEALTH of America should NOT "trickle down" to the needy and unemployed (or even working poor and middle-class) (including their slow-burn relentless assault on Social Security and affordable public access to health care), in order that the wealthy elites may AMASS EVER MORE wealth and power, as INEQUALITY in America soars to the levels of European feudal and "divine right of king" monarchy eras.
(As in, the era before the American Revolution when kings and nobles with totalitarian, dictatorial powers could shout "off with their heads!" and have their opponents arrested and executed, with no opposition party tolerated whatsoever.)
And, don't forget: It was SO-CALLED "liberal" CNN cable 'news' network - owned by Time/WARNER company (the Polish Jewish immigrant Wonskolaser brothers established Warner Studios in 1918 after several earlier businesses dating to 1903 on the East Coast) - which found Glenn Beck's APPEAL to HATRED, PARANOIA, and RESENTMENT so appealing in the first place, it was "liberal" (NOT!) CNN which snatched Glenn Beck from the relative obscurity of his regional AM radio shock-jock show, and GAVE HIM a NATIONAL AUDIENCE, before the "heat" of hosting Glen Beck became too hot for the pretentiously "respectable" CNN (i.e., high-brow NY/DC Neo-Con demagogue warmongers, & hatemongers), and Beck was next snatched up by the more blatantly low-brow, Rupert Murdoch owned "we incite murder" Fox 'News' Corp.
With Roger Ailes at Fox News telling his gang of angry hate mongers to cool it or else. It now seems possible that Glenn Beck, after having lost more than 100 advertisers, could receive that "or else." And more importantly, after you are fired from FOX for being too much of a Right-wing nutcake, where do you go? He is already losing radio syndication in major markets. And boy is the mainstream media staying away from this one! Wooooooo E
===================================
postscript: In an America filled with insidious ('mainstream media' oh-so-respectable) Right-Wing calls to hate - and ever larger WAR and BAILOUTS "off balance sheet" budgets - we will try to return to this post, and try to highlight or list several of the other RIGHT-WING HATE WHIPPED gunmen of the past decade, including Timmy McVeigh, thegunman who killed Dr. George Tiller, the bomber who murdered and attempted mass murder at the Atlanta Olympics (Eric Rudolph), the gunman who shot and killed Arkansas Dem. Party Chairman Bill Gwatney,the Tennessee church shooter, etc.
Because, you know, BY THEIR SILENCE, and their cutsey refusal to pin the real blame for financial sabotage and economic destruction where it belongs (among their own elite multi-millionare & billionaire "private fortunes" financial class) the Neo-Con Sulzberger New York Slimes, the Meyer/Graham/Weymouth "Pravda on the Potomac" Washington Post, and CNN/Time/Warner bros. media empires TOLERATE, IF NOT APPROVE of, American's current reign of Brown-Shirt hate, resentment, simmering violence, political intimidation, looted treasuries, larcenous finance, & social program gutting demagogues.
Good ol' mk hits a monster, Grand-Slam, out-of-the-park home run today, with a headline link from Max's site catching young Neo-Con media whore-in-trainingJOE WEISENTHALdoing what all Neo-Con media whores must do; the necessary Neo-Con dirty work of BLAMING someone, ANYONE but GODDAMN-SACHS, JP MORGAN, BEN BERNANKE, and The Fed (and other bought-off officials or politicians in Congress, in the White House, in America's criminal 'justice' agencies, and in America's derelict (in their duties) financial regulatory agencies) for the OCEAN of "free" FIAT MONEY that Bernanke is printing, that lands in GS & JPM bank vaults (and senior executive banksters' "bounus" checks)that allow GS, JPM and other closely downstream banksters to GO ON A BUYING SPREE of all real, producitve assets worldwide... ...the very "MONEY PRINTING"that is"Causing Commodity Spikes And Riots Worldwide" that Joe Weisenthal blames on... CHINA !!
below, 2 screen clips from K. Denninger's www.RemoveBernanke.org video, explaining how Bernanke's QE-2 (much less other forms of Fed money printing, "liquidity injections" and back-door bailouts) are effectively a back-door INFLATIONARY TAX on American consumers, the full 1:37 video embedded later (below) in this blog post. Many of these items - e.g. corn, oil, wheat, needless to say, would be LESS expensive IF the Chinese were devaluing their currency more, making their exports cheaper - refuting Joe Weisenthal's notion that CHINA currency manipulation is to blame for American consumers' economic contraction and commodity inflation nightmare. Many of these commodity necessities are not even produced, in significant export quantities, in China - a weak China currency would make it both cheaper to sell to, and more difficult for China to purchase from, world markets vs American consumers.)
Thanks for the TEXT BOOK EXAMPLE of NAZI-esque PROPAGANDA, Joe!
In "Animal Farm" bleating sheep fashion, you and the vast majority your fellow over-paid professional Neo-Con Media Whore liars REFUSE to give us (American and worldwide readers) an ACCURATE ACCOUNTING of all the TRILLIONS of dollars of "bailouts," "Liquidity Injections," "backstops," "loan quarantees," "toxic asset buy-backs," AIG pass-throughs, and now "QUANTITATIVE EASINGS"(I and II) that Bernanke, Dudley, Geithner, Freidman and other appartchiks at the Fed keep dishing out to the member/owner banks of the Federal Reserve very private banking cartel over the past 2+ years... but you will, like the Nazis, BLAME ANYONE you can think of to divert attention away from the crime!
MK reports:BusinessInsider’s currency war PROPAGANDA here is STUNNING (AGAIN!) MK: America has the world’s reserve currency (but not for long). The fault of the food riots and starvation driven by cheap credit – demanded by the top 1% as a way to enrich themselves while bankrupting the bottom 99% falls squarely on the doorstep of the Federal Reserve Bank and Ban Bernanke. Nice try though, Joe.[Weisenthal, of BusinessInsider.com, for trying to divert blame from Bernanke & The Fed in Weisenthal's below BusinessInsider comment]
Joe, you cheap piece of NY/DC American infotainment Goebbels "journo" trash propaganda-meister: HERE is ONEnearly THREE QUARTER-TRILLION chunk of fiat dollars "FREE MONEY" that Timmy Geithner & Ben Bernanke handed over to the GS, JPM, Citi (et al) corrupt member/owner banks of the Fed Reserve banking cabal.... in ONE MONTH, ALONE!-
"Fed Pumps Further $630 Billion Into Financial System" http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=a9MTZEgukPLY Sept. 29, 2008 (Bloomberg) -- The Federal Reserve will pump an additional $630 billion into the global financial system, flooding banks with cash to alleviate the worst banking crisis since the Great Depression..... The Fed's expansion of liquidity, the biggest since credit markets seized up last year, came hours before the U.S. House of Representatives rejected a $700 billion bailout for the financial industry. The crisis is reverberating through the global economy, causing stocks to plunge and forcing European governments to rescue four banks over the past two days alone...(cont'd)
That is, nearly DOUBLING the REAL "bailouts" that the CHEATING, LYING THIEVING, INCOMPETENT, entitled propaganda meister treacherous media/press whores actually have told the American people about - in one week, alone!!
YOU GOING TO BLAME that chunk of INFLATIONARY "free money" direct from the Fed balance sheets to corrupt bankers' vaults on CHINA, TOO, Joe?
Here's another "HOT TIP" for ya, Joe.. another BLOOMBERG article, this one from a year and a half ago, reporting that the TOTAL BAILOUTS from Congress and from the Fed, to the member/owner banks of the Fed Reserve banking cartel, could run OVER $23 TRILLION dollars:
U.S. Rescue May Reach $23.7 Trillion, [TARP Inspector General] Barofsky Says By Dawn Kopecki and Catherine Dodge, Bloomberg/U.S. Treasury in Washington July 20, 2009 http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=newsarchive&sid=aY0tX8UysIaM
Inspector General's Report July 20 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. taxpayers may be on the hook for as much as $23.7 trillion to bolster the economy and bail out financial companies, said Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Treasury’s Troubled Asset Relief Program. (cont'd)
Needless to say, NOT having been called to account for all that "free money" they dished out back in 2008, 2009, and 2010, Bernanke, Geithner, Friedman, Dudley and other execs at the Fed. JUST KEEP PRINTING MORE fait money in nearly quarter-trillion dollars chunks to their pals at GS & JPM - now going on "Quantitative Easing II",
QE-TWO, because "the Goddamn-Sachs" & JPM want ANOTHER FOUR TRILLION more Bernanke trash dollars $$ to land in their very private, treacherous, NATION GUTTING, ECONOMY KILLING, world trashing larcenist bank vaults!
Economists at Goldman Sachs estimate the Federal Reserve may need to buy a staggering $4 trillion worth of assets such as Treasury securities to get the economy rolling again... (cont'd)
(our) note 1: "ASSET PURCHASES" is now STANDARDIZED Neo-Con Fed speak, for GIVING AWAY TRILLIONS of dollars of TAXPAYER OBLIGATED fiat "free money" to the member/OWNER banks of the treacherous Federal Reserve VERY PRIVATE banking cartel.
note 2: "to get the economy rolling again" is now the STANDARDIZED Neo-Con BOILERPLATE PROPAGANDA LIE, to JUSTIFY the continued LOOTING, RAPING, pillage, and DESTRUCTION of the American economy (and, worldwide, the economies of smaller nations dependent on exports to America).
When we serf Americans GAVE the TREASONOUS Rubin, Paulson, Blankfein (all 3 current or former Golddamn Sachs CHAIRMEN) or Dimon & Bernanke (Chairmen of JPM-Chase Bank & the Fed Reserve, respectively) crew OVER A TRILLION DOLLARSin "bailouts" in September 2008, it was with the expectation that they would "improve the economy."
HERE IT IS TWO YEARS LATER, and they - the treasonous GS, JPM, Citi, (et al) Fed Banksters, now ROUTINELY print themselves trillion dollars chunks of Bernanke's garbage US fiat dollars, that land in THEIR PRIVATE BANK VAULTS, allowing them to JACK UP vital commodity prices worldwide... with NO increase in real demand, with the ACTUAL productive economies in America and western world CONTRACTING as Goddamn-Sachs & JPM banksters suck the "discretionary spending" cash that powers civilian consumer purchasing OUT of the U.S. and world economies.
THIS IS PURE COMMISSAR SOCIALISM, TRILLIONS of "free" Fed fiat dollars for CONNECTED gs/jpm APPARTCHIKS,while everyone else gets to experience the horrific "HOLODOMOR" famine treatment! In this excellent 1:37 minute video,www.RemoveBernanke.org demonstrates that it is "Helicopter Ben" Bernanke who is robbing America via back-door "bailouts" give-aways to the Big Banksters; that itisBen Bernanke who is creating worldwide commodity price inflation (that far outstrips actual increase in demand) by giving the banksters trillions of dollars of fiat "free" (or very, very low interest) money to jack up consumer prices with monopoly commodity control - ----------------------------------------------- post-script:
Speaking of "commissar socialism" and draconian famine and created genocidal economic destruction, wasn't Lazar Kaganovich appointed Commissar of the Red Army for Propaganda in 1918, before becoming Stalin's hand-picked commander of the Organizational Department (appointments director and de facto vote counter) of the Communist Party... before becoming no less than the First Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party in 1925? From which position Stalin entrusted Kaganovich with nothing less than the SUPPRESSION and economic strangulation of the Ukraine? -
Communist functionary
"He [Lazar Kaganovich, "The wolf of the Kremlin"] was given the task of "korenizatsiya", the task of creating Ukrainian communist popular cadres. He was also given the task of implementation of collectivizationand the policy of economic suppression of the kulaks (wealthier peasants)."
Responsibility for 1932-33 famine Kaganovich (together with Vyacheslav Molotov) participated with the All-Ukrainian Party Conference of 1930 and actively encouraged the policy of collectivization that caused a catastrophic 1932-33 famine known to many Ukrainians (who especially suffered) as the Holodomor. He also personally oversaw grain confiscations during the same time periods. Similar policies also inflicted enormous suffering on the Soviet Central Asian republic of Kazakhstan, the Kuban region, Crimea, the lower Volga region, and other parts of the Soviet Union. As an emissary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party, Kaganovich traveled to Ukrainia, the central region of the USSR, the Northern Caucasus, and Siberia demanding the acceleration of collectivization and repressions against the kulaks, who were generally blamed falsely for the slow progress of collectivization. Attorney Rafael Lemkin in his work The Soviet genocide in Ukraine tried to bring the fact of Holodomor to the Nuremberg trials as a genocide of a totalitarian regime[2].
2010 post-Soviet Genocide Trial
On January 13, 2010 Kiev Court of Appeals posthumously found Kaganovich along with several other Soviet politicians guilty of genocide against Ukrainians during the catastrophic Holodomor famine.[3] Kaganovich and several other Soviet officials were recognized guilty as criminals, however the case was ended immediately by paragraph 8 of Article 6 of the Criminal Procedural Code of Ukrainia.[4]
Keep it up, Joe! At this rate, you could well be in position to become a successor to Michael Chertoff, a future Czar (oops! "Director") of DHS and America's looming GWOT Lieberman-Wolfowitz Guantanamo Torture Gulag!
By then the Bernanke/Rubin/Summers/Blankfein/Dimon strangulation of America's middle-class, could look just like Stalin & Kaganovich's STRANGULATION of the Ukrainian middle-class (landed "kulack" property owning farmers) - outright famine and genocidal, mass-murder ethnic cleansing by state functionary apparatchiks.
Kaganovich, center, at 1957 Soviet May Day Parade with Kruschev, Zhukov, and other senior politburo leaders. According to wiki, Kaganovich had been a propagandist for the Red Army, before becoming one of Stalin's main commissars overseeing the economic strangulation/starvation/famine/genocide of the Ukraine in the 1920s, the dread "holomodor" terror-famine, which claimed somewhere between 1 to 10 million victims, the genocide which followed the 1918 Armenian genocide, and preceeded the 1940s Nazi genocides.
We here at MediaWhoresUSA extend our condolences to the shooting victims and their families in the tragedy where a gunman burst into a political event featuring Arizona Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and Federal Judge John Roll;
wounding Representative Giffords and killing Judge Roll and five other victims at the public poltical event when the young gunman started shooting with a semi-automatic pistol
We will remind that we here at MediaWhoresUSA have repeatedly pointed out the "mainstream media's" tendency to IGNORE Right-Wing(anti- "liberal" or anti-democratic)violence in America(including this list of just the past few years)
NOTE the treacherous Huffington Post headlines from a day where a United States Congresswoman was attacked by one of her deranged constituents: CAN YOU SAY"NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG, MOVE ALONG" in any better Washington Post establishment journalese, better than these Huffington Post-NY "elite" Neo-Con "lite" headlines we screen-captured below?
Clearly, Huffington Post's editors can't wait to splatter their web pages with the next meaningless infotainment celebrities, sex, and scandal DISTRACTION issues - the attempted assassination of a Congresswoman is nothing but a momentary blip on the web-site's headline links, just as HuffPost joins the Washington Post and New York Times in REFUSING to keep an ongoing tally of the Rubin-Summers-Geithner-Bernanke (Obama co.)TRILLIONS of dollars of "bailouts" tallies, or true extent of the Lieberman-Wolfowitz American torture gulag - with low-level Congress men & women bearing the blame for the elites' selling out of the American economy and America's democracy.
"Live Update: Democratic Congresswoman shot by gunman"
"More in Politics: Gabrielle Giffords bio... Obama Giffords Statement... John Roll killed."
OH WELL! THERE goes American democracy - as the NY HuffPost neo-cons, the Sulzberger New York Times Neo-Cons, and Washington Post Washington Neo-Cons celebrate YET ANOTHER EXCUSE for the NY & DC elites to RULE over the disenfranchised American peons, serfs, and indentured servants.
The "Democratic" Party of NANCY PELOSI, Bill and Hillary CLINTON, John Kerry, Jay Rockefeller, and Barack Obama are as IN BED with the FINANCIAL CRIMINALS of Wall Street, and the war profiteering warmongers of the Likud Party, as the most right-wing of anti-democracy Republicans are. Right-Wing Republicans Phil Gramm, Jim Leach, and Thomas Bliley would never have gotten their 1999 "Gramm Leach Bliley Act" (and equally despicable"Commodity Futures 'Modernization' Act") passed and signed into law, if Clinton Treasury Secretary (and current Obama "economics guru" larcenist) LARRY SUMMERS and a host of other corporate Democrats had not urged Bill Clinton to sign those bills into law... and since the economic crisis, BARACK OBAMA has done NOTHING to reverse the damage of those frightful "license to loot, pillage, plunder, and rape homeowners" "DEREGULATION" atrocities, despite the overwhelming tide of blatant fraud in America's mortgage and financial markets.
Indeed, the very fact that most Americans have NO IDEA that MARY SCHAPIRO is the S.E.C. Chairwoman, indicates that her FIRST LOYALTY is to her fellow Rubinites and their rampage of economic larceny on Wall Street, the American people be damned.
The Neo-Con Huffington Post, along with the Sulzberger New York Times and "Pravda on the Potomac" Washington Post (among other treacherous neo-con press-media outlets) LOVE keeping Mary Schapiro's name, and the SEC, OUT of the news... the better to enable CONTINUED Wall Street FINANCIAL CRIMES and ongoing economic larceny in America, their ASSAULT on the American economy, and American democracy, rolls on unabated, after this shooting, American peons will have even less contact with, and influence on, their Neo-Con overlords dominated Congress.
What most Americans can not quite wrap their heads around is the notion that the FEDERAL RESERVE BANK has NO interest in the "We the people" "COMMON WELFARE" to which the United States Constitution was dedicated, and our constitutional, representative, consent-of-the-governed government was ostensibly established, because the Fed is a private banking corporation, dedicated foremost and solely to the continued "profits" - amassing wealth and power - of its members and owners.
Indeed, not only can most Americans not quite grasp that the Fed could, potentially, want to ROB Americans of their wealth and savings (if the member/owners of the Fed deemed it in their own best interest to do so), but most Americans - due to the relentless radical Right-Wing PROPAGANDA they hear spouted from "traditional" elite media outlets such as the Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and other 'news' papers and TV networks, can't quite understand that the Federal Reserve bank is a PRIVATE CORPORATION!
Here, some "silver vigilantes" make an effort of love (dedicated to crushing the Fed's relentless lies and sabotage of America's productive, working economy) CATCHING Ben Bernanke in his "BIG BROTHER" most evil lies -
Bernanke caught red-handed saying that the Fed is "NOT printing money," that the economy is stabilizing (when it keeps getting worse), and that, indeed, Bernanke's "QUANTITATIVE EASING" is even dedicated to "restoring" the economy in the first place.... NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
** from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)#Food_exports_to_England Food EXPORTS TO England, from Ireland, DURING the WORST YEARS of Famine Records show Irish lands exported food even during the worst years of the Famine. When Ireland had experienced a famine in 1782–83, ports were closed to keep Irish-grown food in Ireland to feed the Irish. Local food prices promptly dropped. Merchants lobbied against the export ban, but government in the 1780s overrode their protests. No such export ban happened in the 1840s.[60] Cecil Woodham-Smith, an authority on the Irish Famine, wrote in The Great Hunger; Ireland 1845–1849 that no issue has provoked so much anger and embittered relations between England and Ireland as "the indisputable fact that huge quantities of food were exported from Ireland to England throughout the period when the people of Ireland were dying of starvation." Ireland remained a net exporter of food throughout most of the five-year famine.[fn 4]
