What would YOU ask Chairman Bernanke if you could have a private conversation?

0 votes

My nephew (nephew-in-law? he married my niece) is the "Director -
Division of International Finance" for the the Federal Reserve.
You won't see him interviewed, but he is always right there next to Bernanke whenever they go to Congress.

I haven't seen him in ages although we do exchange the occasional email or Christmas newsletter.

But one of these days I know I'll run into Nathan at a family reunion or maybe even stay at his home if we take a family vacation to Washington DC.

I know he is a good guy. By that I mean, he sincerely believes he is doing the right thing. He's honest, hard working, and a great father. For my Mormon brothers and sisters, he is also the bishop of his LDS ward. (That means something to US, believe me.)

I've often wondered what he thinks about all of this stuff we talk about here on the DP. I've sent Kim and Nathan emails about Ron Paul without any response. I don't even want to TRY to talk politics with them over the telephone.

But someday my wife and I (she's a district coordinator for the C4L) are going to talk about this with him face-to-face. Maybe some of what is happening has caused even him to have second thoughts about his current job.

So what should I say? Where should I start?

Any ideas?

How does that make you feel?

After telling him that everyone knows that the economic crisis was ushered in on purpose. That it is painfully obvious that all has been done intentionally. No one is so dumb to reduce interest rates and bailout corporations in a time like this unless they are ushering in chaos on purpose. Their scheme has exposed them. It will backfire.

Let the Bad Debt

Flush! Bailouts only stall the inevitable. From the ashes, fresh new strong growth will begin. Dammit man you can't be that Stupid!

"If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!"

My question to Bernanke?

"How does it feel to be one of the most hated men in America?"

(LOL to the HEAD or GUT comment!)

Head or Gut?

Where do you want it.

How Many Lights?

You know, like in that Star Trek episode when Picard was being tortured.

I would be gentle with him.

I would be gentle with him. Over the long haul, you will get more information and have a better chance of being heard if you take a softer approach. Look perplexed and tell you know you are just a dummo, but you really can't see how problems caused by extreme debt can be solved by more extreme debt. Try to elicit sincere responses then respond with sharp logic but the soft "I am a dummy, I don't get it demeanor".

BOHICA!!

BOHICA!!

I second that

Especially since he knows you're a Paulite. I'd ask unopened questions too like what Bernanke is like in person and stuff.

Thanks.

I think you're right.
I have reason to believe (from VERY indirect sources) that he might be waking up to the true nature of the problem.

Is there a population problem?

It might seem antithetical to his economist background, but I've found out that those brainwashed by the New World Order tripe have a problem with too many people living on this world.

If he says yes, then you could say "I bet you didn't know everyone living today, man, woman and child, could have 1/4 of an acre in australia and there'd still be the rest of the world and 200 million acres of land in Austrailia to grow crops"
That might get him started in the direction that the whole depopulation agenda is BS.

I wouldn't try to dissuade him from his job. I'd want to know why Bernake didn't call the depression months before it was going to happen, like Peter Schiff saw the handwriting on the wall.

If you're going to go for an economy question I'd ask him how is printing money with no reserve going to preserve the value of the dollar. Also I'd ask him if they actually print the money or just enter a few more zeroes in the treasury fund from the Federal Reserve.

Lots of questions, but I also know that some might think they know other people, however sometimes they don't and never will. I hope your nephew can understand the economy is hurt by Bernake's plan. My sister is a brilliant PhD engineer from MIT and I know she is throughly brainwashed by the depopulation, collectivist mindset. I think they revel in corrupting the best of the bunch.

I know Bernake is intentionally destroying the economy because he thinks that whatever hardships people endure are necessary to bring about the New World Order (think Madeline albright's testimony here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHsokG8_DHQ&feature=related.) Some people know the NWO's plan and would never let on that they know as a matter of life and death. You'll only know by the fruits of their labor.

Start getting freedom today by dumping Federal Reserve Notes, Stocks, Banks and anything made outside the USA. Buy precious metals, real estate, businesses, food and guns and get your business community to use local or sound currenc

Thanks, very insightful.

By the way, I think one advantage that Nathan has is his LDS religion.
In general, Mormons have never bought into the Zero Population Growth moral imperative. Hence the jokes about our large families.
The population vs. finite resources problem is a complex one. But there is no doubt that the NWO has used ZPG propaganda to undermine the reproductive rate of certain racial/ethnic/socioeconomic groups that They consider to be "problems".

If you think I am referring to the "minorities" or the impoverished Third World you need to recheck your census figures.

Hint: Alex Jones has his "genocide" conspiracy in "Endgame" absolutely backwards.

I would ask how come he hasn't committed a murder suicide with all of his cronies and himself...

I would ask: "What can we do

I would ask: "What can we do to help you shut down the FED and the IRS and give all the money back as also compensate those who've been damaged in the past?"

If I were Commander in Chief I'd gleefully violate the Posse Comitatus (just this once) and send in the 82nd Airborne to shut 'em all down and recover all the loot.

Where is our military?

i'd be interested to see who he thinks benefits the most

from his institution.

If I answered that...

I'd get thrown off the forum.

Yeah, and Bernanke would deserve that or worse.

But Nathan had the disadvantage of getting a degree in economics at Stanford. I bet YOU couldn't do that and come out thinking straight.
I'm sure he really believes this Keynesian horse dung.

But I doubt if anyone he hangs out with ever really talks about Austrian economics.
And I bet it wasn't required reading at Stanford.

I would't give him the benefit of the doubt...

he knows EXACTLY what he's doing.

How about a joke?

Peter Schiff tells about 3 asians and 1 american stranded on a desert island. Everyone has a job to do. One asian collects firewood. One asian hunts the food. The third asian cooks the food. The American's job is to eat the food.

The american leaves just enough food that the asians can survive to do their jobs.

Now you might think that the asians would be plotting how to feed the american to the sharks, so they can improve their own outlooks a little better, but instead, they take turns making sure he doesn't float out to sea when he falls asleep sunbathing.

You see, they are afraid if they lost the american, they would all lose their jobs.

Ok, so it's not really a joke, but a good ice breaker story:-)

Barring that, you could always ask him what the *real* relationship between paulson and kashkari is ;-)

Just remember this when talking, unless he is already thoroughly steeped in austrian/libertarian ideology, he is very unlikely to be warm to any intimation that policies should change in a manner that would result in the loss of his job. So talk about the little guy, and how hard it is for you before attacking the existence of the Fed.

I would ask him

how he plans on getting away from me without being tarred and feathered.

"Tyrants fear nothing more than insubordination"

"It's just one big club... and WE ain't in it!"

Now, now...

We have to keep peace in the family.
Besides, I really do think he is basically a nice guy.
Some of our best friends are tools of the Conspiracy.
Although I would like to ask him if he ever notices his boss going off to meetings with the Bilderbergers without him.

"It's just one big club... and WE ain't in it!"

I would ask him

How can he fly a helicopter without a licence?

You've got the wrong guy.

He's the director of International Finance.
Dropping bales of money is the job of his domestic counterpart.;)
