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...

Great! Intelligent people telling federal tyrants to go to hell.
The first fraud is its name. “Federal”. Designed to make people think it’s a government entity.

Thank God people are finally waking up to the destructive nature of CENTRAL BANKING. See Andrew Jackson for the last time the Den of Vipers was banished.

Andrew Jackson is a controversial figure. It’s hard to defend his action regarding Indian resettlement. But I still like the guy — just for the fact that he killed the Second Bank. That was a great thing.

Since Trump wants to smash the status quo, I’d like to see his position on auditing the Fed. Saying he’s willing to explore the idea and a few campaign stops with Ron Paul will go a long way to getting the attention of the disillusioned millennials who can’t stand Hillary and don’t like what they’ve seen so far of DJT.

One of those posts needed the theme song from Steely Dan...”Only a Fool Would Say That”

This so funny that I am not surprised they are so arrogant that they haven’t a clue how perceive them...I attended a lecture by one of the Cleveland district PhDs...he talked like he was for Alice in wonderland.

Did not know the job of the feds was to impose stability. This goes far beyond their mandate

Yeah, just went over there and left them “my thoughts.” They are being creamed. I did not see ONE positive post. This is another area that Trump needs to “investigate” as soon as he gets to the Oval Office.

An absolute must read. If you think the Fed is some constitutionally mandated branch of government you -must- read that book.
