Its funny when you watch this video the smirks on Bernenke's face as he is answering Ron Paul questions. Its almost like "Yeah Ron you know your right but what the hell you gonna do about it? We control this world and there aint nothing your gonna do about it" That is what I get. Interesting answers though Bernenke claims there is no talk of a new reserve currency and there is no talk of it being gold backed. He did say that they were talking about gold when it pertained to central banks selling gold. Hmm what did that mean?

Why is this man not the President for Gods sake! He at least should have been offered the VP spot by Obama. He is the smartest and one of the few who really care about the direction this country and the world is going. To me Bernankes voice quivers when answering RP questions...like hes been called out. GET EM RON!! Don't give em an inch. LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION!

Yeah, what else could he say.

Notice they didn't mention the huge purchase of gold the Saudi's just made. Wasn't it 3.5 billion?

Linsey Williams said it would happen. They are driving the price of oil down below $50 a barrel to break down the Middle East. Oil is traded on the dollar. Below $50 a barrel the Saudi's can't sustain their economy.

Saudi's have to dump the dollars, and where else, but in Gold.

It's all unfolding. Just watch, and wait, it won't be long now.

I saw $2.08 at the pump today. Honeslty, I never thought I'd see that again.

Hes not president because we live in a nation of sheep. They fight amongst themselves as Democrats and Republicans instead of fighting our government as Americans. The gold comment in the end concerned me. That is the central banks selling a ton of gold. I wonder what that meant. Maybe Im just reading to much into it.

Your YouTube link was removed. Here is a new YouTube link of that event:

It amazes me that you have a man like Ron Paul who time after time tells these people in a position of power what the problem is and how it can be remedied....and they still keep on doing the same stupid things, making the same idiotic moves and supporting the same parasitic systems and politicians who got us all in this mess to begin with. All while expecting something different to come of it!!


To do the same things over and over again and to support the same crooked systems over and over again is not simply a matter of misunderstanding or even stupidity....it is treachery at it's highest form. To refuse to do anything other than what has been done all along is insanity.

How does a man like Ben Bernanke or someone like Paulson continue to keep their jobs? What is it that keeps the average American investor and the defrauded American tax payer from grabbing one of these thieves by the throat and saying enough is enough?


Are we all hynotized? Can noone hear what Dr. Paul is saying? Is it fear? Ignorance? I am genuinely confused at this point.

Our esteemed Dr. Paul has secured a place in history as the representative who steadfastly pointed out that 'the emperor has no clothes."

The Fed is merely the 'face' of the transnational corporate financial cartel; which I contend is a nation unto itself, and as such, has an empire that spans over 90% of the planet. The actions these 'elites' have taken, or failed to take, are an act of aggression, if not economic war. there was no ignorance on their part, regarding the outcome of the fiat currency and fractional reserve lending scam.

Our political system has been so utterly compromised by their money that their existence seems to have devolved into nothing more than a facade to blind the true providers of wealth, the people, to the fact that they have blithely sold our sovereignty to those who guarantee them personal prosperity and celebrity.

Perhaps one day enough will awaken to demand an approach which does not include 'maintaining' their influence in the market. I would trust Dr. Paul to chart such a course. I think many agree. Except, of course, for the people who represent us, and do whatever they are programmed to do.

I love Ron Paul, but we aren't in a currency crisis...yet. The facts are that the dollar has skyrocketed during this crisis because it is the world reserve currency...and Bernanke is 100% correct in saying that banks have been selling their gold. The ECB especially has been selling their gold...Had you bought Gold, you would have only slightly outperformed the stock market, had you been in cash, you would have outperformed anything other than Treasuries... So, again, Ron Paul maybe right after all this blows over, but for now the CPI is negative, so we have deflation going on...and well, credit is tight, and thus there are less dollars in the overall money supply. Banks aren't lending what the Fed gives them, so it's the equivalent of the Fed doing nothing at all.

You ask why Dr. Paul is not president



No honest man stands a chance in American Politics...


This Election should have been Alan Keyes v Ron Paul...



Instead... we had Barry v Jaun...

And the market was at 14,000 while he said it was going to bomb...

If anyone had believed him, perhaps we would be looking back on his proclamations and talking about what an alarmist kook he is. Instead, we find ourselves constantly looking back to find just how right he's been about it all.

Just watched the video....The usual inquiries from Ron Paul which I like very much.

How disrespectful were those two dudes behind him? Just seemed as if they ignored Dr. Paul and were talking/laughing behind him.

Notice how Congressman Barney Frank quickly moves the on the proceedings without a thank you.

This question he posed to McCain during the debates recently popped into my mind-

www.youtube.com...

The working group on financial markets does need some more sunlight as this, along with so many other institutional policy groups, closed-door operations are clearly shady.

Anyways, Ron Paul is a true hero, patriot, and man of the (informed) people.

Go Ron Paul....I watched this live. It was awesome. Rally at the Fed Reserve on Saturday 11 am. Be there to make your voice heard.

Why on earth we are still at the mercy of this criminalistic FED is beyond me. This is a failed institution that couldn't give two-turds about ANYONE in this country except for the multi-billionaire ruling class thieves that are GUTTING the financial infrastructure of this nation with their bottomless and sinister greed.

Nauseating to no end. The fed, Paulson and Bernincompoop are at the top of the list of criminals ruining this country right now, along with all of their willing accomplices in the gov.

To me, Bernake's expression is consistently one of contempt even though he has studiously tried to hide it. The mustache is also helpful in hiding the sneer he has, but snarls include the nose area and so it can still be seen.

Oh for sure he tried hiding it but he couldnt do it completely. Also when you watch the guys behind Big Ben laughing after RP questions him...sigh.

I did notice that, and at first I thought it was a tad disrespectful, but after I saw the men behind Bernake, I was rather amused and pleased that they had been there.

While Bernake was talking those men were smug, down turned mouth, frowning men. Behind Dr. Paul were smiles.

Just a small subtle message.



Sorry... I think I am thinking of two different posts at the same time. Kinda tired.

Those behind Bernake didn't look like they were laughing; they looked dazed and disinterested.

Bernake didn't seem to sneer; he seemed to be playing the 'innocent and reasonable' answer part with quite a straight face.

And Ron Paul, for goodness sake, ranted for three and half minutes interspersing his explanations with 'my question is' three or four times. I would have appreciated him being more pointed, though I understand the political maneuvers of 'drag out the question' to avoid a rambling response that eats up time.

All that said, Ron Paul is the only member of Congress who has convinced me of possessing any integrity.

If you want your voice heard go the your local Fed and rally. November 22, 2008
