Ron Paul's pick for Fed chair: No one
Fortune ^ | 08/11/2013 | By Stephen Gandel

Posted on 08/11/2013 7:50:01 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The bids of Larry Summers and Janet Yellen to replace Ben Bernanke just took a hit.

Ron Paul, the famously libertarian politician and former presidential candidate, has his own choice for the next chair of the Federal Reserve, and it isn't Summers or Yellen. Paul's pick for the next Fed head: No one.

Here's what Paul had to say via a spokesperson:

"Dr. Paul would prefer we get rid of central economic planning via a central bank. All mentioned candidates believe that one person or a committee has the knowledge to dictate the correct interest rate and rate of growth of the money supply, which they do not."

The main point is that Dr. Paul doesn't believe the current failed policies of the Reserve would change if any of the mentioned candidates were to become Fed Chair.

The above statement leaves open the possibility that Paul might support someone for Fed chair. But in a follow up e-mail with his spokesperson, she confirmed that Paul's current top pick for Fed chair was, indeed, no one. If he had to pick, she said he wouldn't.

Where was Snowden supposed to go that the US couldn't drone him?

Maybe he should've sought employment elsewhere to begin with.



"I believe that Gandhi's views were the most enlightened of all the political men in our time. We should strive to do things in his spirit: not to use violence in fighting for our cause, but by non-participation in anything you believe is evil."
--Albert Einstein

Comrade's Snowden and Manning are both symptoms of the disease, and the fact that they got vetted in the first place is self-evidence of the success of this...

 

"According to my opinion, and the opinions of many defectors of my caliber, only about 15% of time, money, and manpower is spent on espionage as such. The other 85% is a slow process which we call either ideological subversion, active measures, or psychological warfare. What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country.
 
It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow and is divided into four basic stages.
 
The first stage being "demoralization".
 
It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation. Why that many years? Because this is the minimum number of years required to educate one generation of students in the country of your enemy exposed to the ideology of [their] enemy. In other words, Marxism-Leninism ideology is being pumped into the soft heads of at least 3 generation of American students without being challenged or counterbalanced by the basic values of Americanism; American patriotism.
 
Most of the activity of the department [KGB] was to compile huge amount / volume of information, on individuals who were instrumental in creating public opinion.  Publisher, editors, journalists, uh actors, educationalists, professors of political science.  Members of parliament, representatives of business circles."
--KGB Defector Yuri Bezmenov
--Soviet Subversion of the Free Press (Ideological subversion, Destabilization, CRISIS - and the KGB)

Tell us, Wiley, what effect will that have upon the ability of the McSheeple to contradict the errors of Islamic Shariahtards who’d like to enslave them? Got your daughters fitted for a burqa yet?


What business is it of YOURS what Iran does internally?..
You ignored that “MEME” like a plaque........ speaks of WHO? you are..

The Iranians MUST revolt against despotic government themselves, IF it is despotic..
The Iranians have never known freedom from despotism.. EVER.. they know no other way..
Much as Mexicans have ALWAYS been ruled by gangs, MOBS..
And they KNOW no other way either..

Currently most americans are being groomed to despotic givernment.. and have been for decades...
Democracy has ALWAYS been Mob Rule by mobsters.. still is..

Thats why the American Constitution has two important words ABSENT FROM IT...
1) democracy and 2) democratic..
** democracy is Mob Rule by mobsters completely, exactly..

It’s no mistake not an oversight IT’S ON PURPOSE..
Thats EXACTLY what Obama is doing.... changing the US from a republic INTO a democracy..
You know.... LIKE IRAN!... and most of the world..

“Since Oct. 2010, it is believed that Iran has used satellite launches as a means of conducting further research into its ballistic missile program. “
http://worldofdefense.blogspot.com/2011/05/iranian-ballistic-missile-program.html

“: in at least two earlier ballistic missile launches, the Iranians launched in ways that appear they were designed to optimize an EMP burst, according to a Pentagon source with detailed knowledge of the Iranians efforts and of space technology.”

When a country ATTACKS you 1) declare WAR... 2) Nuke them.. 3) then get on with your(plural) life..

Other than that ignore the latrine “they” have made of their own country..
Like England, France, Germany, all of Africa, most of South America and it goes without saying Mexico.. (Canada)

Russia and China have always been latrines..
You aren’t very smart are you?... Pity..

Free republic is no place to fight a global War...
I’ll bet you have never run for public office...
Maybe have never been in the military..
Your mind is on vacation BUT your mouth is working overtime..

" In 1984, Iranian president Ali-Akbar Rafsanjani said, "all Iranians from 12 to 72 should volunteer for the Holy War."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_use_of_children

That's insane.

And Paultards think such insanity should be allowed "internally" to develop nuclear weapons.

FAIL. NO SALE.

EMP is too complicated to pull off.. genius..
can be done but only a few western powers(or China, India or Isreal) can to do it..
but won’t..

Mostly likely suit case nukes will go off in New York City, Chicago and or L.A.... starting with certain cities in URP.. and maybe the Vatican..

Already the suitcase nukes are in those places.. waiting..
OR Obama will do it if he is threatened strongly.. and blame mideastern governments..

Your tactics are flawed.. Obama despises you and your little dog ToTo too Dorothy..
Is this you Ted Koppel come on out yerself.?.

Step, away, from the Bong.. Paultard.

 

 "A nuclear device built using 1940s technology would suffice. Iran’s nuclear program is already capable of building such a device.

Woolsey said, “All this discussion about whether [the Iranians] have a (nuclear) program ignores the fact that in enriching uranium up to 20 percent (purity), you have done 85-90 percent of the work you need.”

He went on to note that when Iranians say they are not interested in nuclear weapons, they are “lying through their teeth.”

With a nuclear device in hand, either produced locally or purchased from North Korea, all Iran would need is a delivery system.

As Woolsey noted, a SCUD would do the job.

Since an EMP only affects electronics within its line of sight, the higher the detonation, the larger the affected area. A device detonated 100 miles over Indianapolis would put 70 percent of the population of the United States in the dark..."

You seem like a frightened child with all this screaming about boogie men. You did manage to steer the conversation far away from the failure that is the Federal Reserve - at least for a while. But the fact remains that it has not prevented the depressions and panics as advertised.

Shut it down.
