I watched this video late at night, when watching videos like this seems to hit more directly to my brain. Almost every time I hear Dr. Paul speak on almost every issue there are two things that go through my mind 1) Man is he right. 2) Man he must sound nuts to the majority.
This is a real dilemma for us that we should not underestimate in our effort to restore Constitutional government. We can win. Well past the election of 2008 we have MUCH to do. I was privileged to visit with Dr. Paul in my office (you can see the wonderful pics at my website) and discuss the work ahead.
2008 is a catalyst year, but let's not be fooled. Dr. Paul is like a sniper in this video, but it will take an army to bring about change. It is because of Dr. Paul that I re-wrote what I called "A Call to Action." Some have suggested that I lack faith in Dr. Paul or his efforts, or that I am too critical of this movement. The arguments they use are the same arguments that would keep Dr. Paul from speaking this candidly with Chairman Bernanke.

y is there even the slightest bit of doubt about this? does no one else realize that the presentation of EVERY pixel on camera on the MSM is carefully thought out and planned? he is NOT an aide. he is NOT just some guy. the producer/director/cameraman/securityguard is NOT gonna let a random person walk in and sit behind Dr. Paul LIVE on camera. he is OBVIOUSLY a plant meant to distract the viewer from Dr. Paul's message. and a damn good one too. still, truth > bobblehead.
also, pretty girls are pretty distracting, dont u think?

Simply the things I want to know !
Even if Bernanke does not answer to the "philosophical" questions of Ron Paul, I'm glad he did ask him. That's so important !
Again Dr Paul did a great job here.

I think people are missing the point here. Paul got him. He got Bernanke. What do I mean?
First off, Bernanke is more forthcoming than people are willing to give here. I mean he is constantly at least acknowledging the insight of Paul and often does say he agrees with him. Others could have just tossed him to the side and did some double talk and not even answer. Bernanke answers him.
Second, what I loved about this was that even with in Bernanke's attempt to answer Paul incompletely, Bernanke, in his search to appease Paul to a degree while also not be completely forthright, inadvertently found himself actually where Paul was going. In other words, Paul was, as always, trying to show that Bernanke, or any Chairman or authority, is not as good as the raw mobility and interactions of the us as a market. Bernanke unintentionally fell into that at the end about the interest rate and regulating it.
Bernanke was trying to answer Paul. He wanted to give him something but Paul was good enough in his argument and Bernanke forthcoming enough that Bernanke got trapped. That moment showed Bernanke and the whole system's failing. Paul got him. He was smiling at the end cause he knew he got him and Bernanke knew too. That is why Bernanke was stumbling at the end cause he realized what Paul was finally saying. He used words like neutral and other euphemisms for the market. I mean if Bernanke said the word market than that would have been the end of the game. But Paul got him and it was great. And just to ram it home at the end Paul said, "And someday we may try the market..." so to equate Bernanke and his co-workers making the decision to some other people making the same decision, which also nullified any real specialty about the fed.
Anyway, I thought it was great if for nothing else but the end.

even know himself that our currency is not backed by gold? Hey Benny, we are big boys and girls! Let the citizens learn about the markets, economy, and monetary policy! And for those citizens that choose to remain ignorant, may they suffer their own consequences!
What's the big deal? If you observe closely, you will see that this is just a woman with a very full and long dark hair exiting the room.
Why is it that there are always those who like to imagine and excite the senses when there is always a simple explaination?

Obviously we all know that THE Grim Reaper did not make an appearance in Congress. Obviously we ALL KNOW that it was a person dressed in black, with long black hair. Obviously she was bending, stooping, so as not to be seen on camera. Obviously. But that doesn't mean we can't share in a little levity from time to time. Laugh sometime, Holbrook. It feels good to laugh. You should try it.
although not convinced it was hair, it looked more like a covering of some kind, if not, it's waaaaay too much hair, LOL. Anyway, it we didn't laugh every now and then it would be easy to get depressed with all of this stuff coming down.
our monetary system. If banks fail, they fail. If their own lending practices cause failures, so be it. We don't come to the rescue of other businesses. Why should we rescue banks.
It has been nice to "take a break" from all the mad pace prior to Super Tuesday. I hope everyone else is resting as well.
control the interest rates ignores the mandate of the Full Employment Act of 1946 which requires the Fed to regulate the money supply so as to bring unemployment down to 3% or less.
While there is no formula for how to do that, it does give Bernanke all the cover he needs to avoid letting the market adjust the interest rate.

I would be really surprised if they ever successfully brought the unemployment rate down to 3%. There is a natural unemployment rate in this country of about 6% (but it comes in cycles). If they try to bring it down any more, an eyebrow should be raised over who is getting hurt by that or if the number is even real to begin with.

I thought it was a good speech. the fed are slippery people, Bernanke is a very fast talker and was able to do damage control, you dont get to that level and not be smooth. I thought Ron as always did great.
have watched this video 2 times, and just now saw what you are referring to as the "grim reaper", but you are right. Now why would any normal person be dressed like that, what is the logical explanation. Was it a nun, someone in a berka, I mean who was that person leaving this session midstream through a side door dressed like that? The only thing missing is the sickle, and it is not Halloween.
