Influence laundering 101. Most of these hacks go on the lecture circuit. Some go to “think tanks.” Some become lobbyists. A few become overpaid college professors. But every.single.fucking one of them gets a big multi-million $ bonus to write a book which nobody will read. It’s just part of the highly lucrative payoff for being loyal to the machine.
What the fuck could he have to say that even I can tell you. I’ll bet the last sentence in every speech goes something like ‘………and in conclusion, yes – we’ll print, monetize, lie, deceive, and monetize….but not exactly in that order’.
Did the subscription service to the fed – there have been so many scandals and amazingly illegal and fraudulent activities I can’t keep ’em straight anymore – ever end? Wasn’t it $75,000/annual for a ‘heads-up’ on fed decisions or did that business model die when Op Twist came on and the only choice was CTRL-P?

Unless Ben knows he has a terminal illness and is a short-timer on Planet Earth, I have a feeling this level of hubris is going to make him
First, a lightning rod.
Second, a punching bag.
Last, a LAUGHING STOCK.
I’ve been shocked, surprised and frankly awed by the tenacity of the current false paradigm, and so nothing is impossible——-however——-I simply don’t see how the wheels stay on this cart long enough for Ben B to avoid ultimately retiring in ignominy.

Perhaps Martin Armstrong’s forecast will turn out to be prescient (I withhold judgement) and Ben’s book will hit news stands at exactly the same time the entire Bond Mania goes Mushroom Cloud.
History is written by the victors, came to mind first, but I think the one by Hermann Goring fits better:
“We will go down in history either as the world’s greatest statesmen or its worst villains.”
Right now Ben-thebuttfucker and the rest of his fucknut friends believe he’s a savior, we all know what he is…..

“Courage” is certainly not on the list of any attributes this academia-fuck might possess. Let me say it one more time “Fuck you Bernanke”!

The title is the message.
John Tower’s ill titled Consequences proves that. Larry King had to drop LBJ from his book…And Other Dirty Stories when LBJ’s abdication made his title irrelevant.
The Courage to Print forecasts more of the same.
Perfect!

Ben gets $300,000 for a lunch time speech at Wall Street bank functions. He made just over $200,000 annually as the Fed Chairman.

Now that’s a coincidence I’d pay to see.
