The Fed Launches A Facebook Page... And The Result Is Not What It Had Expected
ZeroHedge ^ | 8/21/2016 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 08/21/2016 5:12:55 PM PDT by RightGeek

While it is not exactly clear what public relations goals the privately-owned Fed (recall Bernanke's Former Advisor: "People Would Be Stunned To Know The Extent To Which The Fed Is Privately Owned") hoped to achieve by launching its first Facebook page last Thursday, the resultant outpouring of less than euphoric public reactions suggest this latest PR effort may have been waster at best, and at worst backfired at a magnitude that matches JPM's infamous #AskJPM twitter gaffe.

Here are some examples of the public responses to the Fed's original posting: they all share a certain uniformity...

One of the very few times I regret losing my FarceBook account. Trolling stuffed shirts like this was so much fun!

The Fed only exists because of our own corrupt federal government.

They gave away their constitutional responsibility to wealthy bankers.

US Constitution Article 1 Section 8

The Congress shall have power:

To coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign coin, and fix the standard of weights and measures;

some more goodies:

You really have the temerity to start a FB page? Did you think people would actually “like” you? A private, foreign owned shill bank that has usurped our right to coin our own money and actually charges us interest for the privilege? Born in the middle of the night when most of Congress was on Christmas vacation, you have given us endless bankster wars, death, destruction, monetary collapse, ruination of the Constitution, wealth concentration, and rule by the cabal of the elite. I dare you to leave this page up & see how hated you truly are. I can’t believe I actually had to give you a star to post this. I want it back.

You people should ll be arrested, charged with crimes against humanity, genocide, theft, larceny, torture etc.. you then should all be put in a big big cage, then all wheeled out into a field, where a world wide broadcast would be televised..all of the charges will be read...there will be no trial... you are guilty as sin, and next the entire cage will be doused with gasoline, and then some lucky person will be the first to shoot a flame into the cage...you need to suffer..you need to feel, even for a few minutes the pain and suffering that you have imposed on the people of the world..after that is Done, the British Monarchy will be given 48 hours to transfer all of its assets to the US treasury, or London is turned to ash...its time for your system and people to pay for 103 years of crime.

The only way to smash the political elite and take down the nanny-state is to kill the Federal Reserve

Massive debt, in a fiat-unbacked currency and manipulated interest rates are all the welfare-warfare progressive nanny state needs to grow as large as it wants.

The emperor has plenty of cloths, he uses them to wipe down his mail servers. :)

Andrew Jackson was the hero of the War of 1812. He beat back the British at New Orleans. Fk the libs who want to take him off our $20 bill and put who? Harriet Ugly Tubman on to replace him.
