Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen on the Economy

By Friday September 25, 2015

Analyze this. Keep in mind the pressure on her concerning the Fed’s decision whether or not to raise interest rates last week.

    Looks the Chinese or ISIS or someone has finally hacked into one of the U.S.’s fiscal ROBOTS! (The Alan Greenspan model got complete gender makeover, including an upgrade to Windows 10 and now it looks a little like Rosanne Barr!)

    I’m telling you. The end of the modern age is close at hand and this bitch knows something that she’s not saying — probably due to bad programming. Either that or she had a bad speech writer.

      “Two Christian preachers with huge followings in the US claim the date of the last of four ‘blood moons’ over the past 18 months, due to occur on September 28, and following a papal visit to the US, will signal the second coming of Jesus Christ.

      At the same time, the world as we know it will be destroyed by major earthquakes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East and the possibility of a third world war.

      The two evangelists have been accused of peddling the false warnings in order to cash in on books they have penned about their predictions – one of which was turned into a movie.”

      The the future’s uncertain and the end is always near. Jesus is going to come back in the Blue Ridge Mountains and bring Eternal Shine!

      The Twilight Zone has existed in many lands in many times. It has its roots in history, in something that happened long, long ago and got told about and handed down from one generation of folk to the other. In the telling the story gets added to and embroidered on, so that what might have happened in the time of the Druids is told as if it took place yesterday in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Such stories are best told by an elderly grandfather on a cold winter’s night by the fireside in the southern hills of the Twilight Zone.

    she knows what she is saying is a crock of shit and is trying to stifle the laughter.

    to quote Governor William J. Le Petomane:

    “Holy underwear! Sheriff murdered! Innocent women and children blown to bits! We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately! Harrumph! Harrumph! Harrumph!”

    What’s the big deal? All she said was a gradual increase in inflation as the economy improves. This is normal and expected.

    The only worrying part is the cheap interest rates have boosted the stock market with banks borrowing money from the Fed discount window at zero or near zero interest and flash trading to make a tidy profit.

    Once this no longer becomes profitable, watch for a *hopefully* gradual adjustment in the daily trading.

      The big deal is the truth is too boring for people to believe. So hop on the sky is falling train. I admit, the theories are crazy.. but it is fun to live in an alternate universe of secret tunnels and Muslim President take overs.

    The bloody moon only knows…

    “If George Washington were alive today, what a shining mark he would be for the whole camorra of uplifters, forward-lookers and professional patriots! He was the Rockefeller of his time, the richest man in the United States, a promoter of stock companies, a land-grabber, an exploiter of mines and timber. He was a bitter opponent of foreign alliances, and denounced their evils in harsh, specific terms. He had a liking for all forthright and pugnacious men, and a contempt for lawyers, schoolmasters and all other such obscurantists. He was not pious. He drank whisky whenever he felt chilly, and kept a jug of it handy. He knew far more profanity than Scripture, and used and enjoyed it more. He had no belief in the infallible wisdom of the common people, but regarded them as inflammatory dolts, and tried to save the republic from them. He advocated no sure cure for all the sorrows of the world, and doubted that such a panacea existed. He took no interest in the private morals of his neighbors.

    Inhabiting These States today, George would be ineligible for any office of honor or profit. The Senate would never dare confirm him; the President would not think of nominating him. He would be on trial in all the yellow journals for belonging to the Invisible Government, the Hell Hounds of Plutocracy, the Money Power, the Interests. The Sherman Act would have him in its toils; he would be under indictment by every grand jury south of the Potomac; the triumphant prohibitionists of his native state would be denouncing him (he had a still at Mount Vernon) as a debaucher of youth, a recruiting officer for insane asylums, a poisoner of the home. The suffragettes would be on his trail, with sentinels posted all along the Accotink road. The initiators and referendors would be bawling for his blood. The young college men of the Nation and the New Republic would be lecturing him weekly. He would be used to scare children in Kansas and Arkansas. The chautauquas would shiver whenever his name was mentioned….

    And what a chance there would be for that ambitious young district attorney who thought to shadow him on his peregrinations—and grab him under the Mann Act!”
    Damn!, A book of Calumny by H. L. Mencken

    ‘To each his own’ – so goes another old phrase to which Mr. Woodrow Mulligan would heartily subscribe, for he has learned – definitely the hard way – that there’s much wisdom in a third old phrase, which goes as follows: ‘Stay in your own backyard.’ To which it might be added, ‘and, if possible, assist others to stay in theirs’ – via, of course, The Twilight Zone.

    “NASA experts say anything from 150-metres in length upwards would have the potential to cause global devastation should it land in the sea, by causing tsunamis, or on dry land.

    Scientists last week moved to quell growing fears that a monster asteroid will crash into our planet destroying humanity in late September, after conspiracy theorists’ claims went viral online.

    But they have monitored asteroids the size of a bus, tower block and jumbo jets pass by near to our planet in the last 10 days.

    An asteroid of around 46 metres size hitting the earth would not lead to the end of world, but if it struck in a populated area it could cause horrific local destruction, death and injury.

    The last similar sized asteroid to enter earth’s atmosphere was the 1908 Tunguska Event which saw a 50-metre lump of extraterrestrial explode above Siberia.

    It flattened around 80 million trees and sent a shock wave across Russia measuring five on the Richter scale.”

    I hope they have Bruce Willis on speed dial. Nuke it! The bank isn’t going to make it and it doesn’t look good for the landscape!

    The best laid plans of mice and men…and Henry Bemis…the small man in the glasses who wanted nothing but time. Henry Bemis, now just a part of a smashed landscape, just a piece of the rubble, just a fragment of what man has deeded to himself. Mr. Henry Bemis…in the Twilight Zone.

    ‘US military secretly preparing for asteroid that will wipe out mankind in September’
    A GIGANTIC asteroid will smash into the earth this September, causing mankind to die out in a dinosaur-style mass extinction, conspiracy theorists are warning.

    No man “knew” the cave. That was the impossible thing. Tom Sawyer knew as much of the cave as any one. Get to the cave if you’ve got a cave to get to. I save the old pennies made with copper instead if the new cheap ones made with the pot metal. The end’s near if the cave ain’t! You can stock your cave with moonshine and use that for trade once the banks get blasted by the impact.
    “No moral, no message, no prophetic tract, just a simple statement of fact: for civilization to survive, the human race has to remain civilized. Tonight’s very small exercise in logic from the Twilight Zone.”

      Dude …

      “A GIGANTIC asteroid will smash into the earth this September”

      It’s already October in some parts of the world now with the very most forward-oriented time zones at high elevations who are flying in Concorde against the jet stream whiile reading a book written in 25th grade literature (like Tolstoy) while no one is looking directly at them gaining the benefit of the Schrödinger’s cat effect of maybe he did or maybe didn’t.

      Easy now TZ! Please take heart in knowing that some dinosaurs have survived extinction, e.g. gators and birds. Be assured that reptilian politicians and the immortal illuminati will survive an asteroid impact and repopulate the earth.

    That is a very puzzling / troubling video segment of her speech. Is she in need of medical assistance?
