By David DeGraw, AmpedStatus Report
The fact that millions of Americans aren’t demanding Ben Bernanke’s immediate resignation proves how horrifically propagandized and unaware the American public is.
As someone who spends 60 hours a week analyzing the news, chronicling every step down in America’s decline, it has become incredibly depressing to see Bernanke maintain his position of power and continue his reign of terror. I can’t even sleep through the night anymore. Colleagues say that they try not to let it get to them too much by telling themselves that there is only so much you can do, and ultimately people get what they deserve. I have always refused to buy into that line of thinking. I know how effective the mainstream media is in propagandizing people, and unless you have significant time to research these issues, there is no way for the average working American to truly grasp the information that they need to.
All that being said, I’m quickly losing faith in the people who do know what is going on. There are millions of people who read independent news reporting daily and know exactly what is happening. There are millions of people who understand that we now live in a banana republic that is systematically looting the country to enrich one-tenth of one percent of the population. There are also millions of people who understand that Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve banking system is the central planning force behind this looting.
Almost every day there is more evidence of the outright corrupt actions of the Federal Reserve and their primary dealers on Wall Street. Their campaign of economic shock and awe is so overwhelming, there have been so many corrupt actions that it is hard to list them all, or even pick out which ones to highlight as the most egregious. Here are just a few off the top of my head; the audacity of it all, and knowing the obvious consequences that these actions entail, is enough to make your head explode from complete frustration:
Trillions of American taxpayer dollars were given, in secrecy, to the banks/people who were most responsible for causing the crisis in the first place. After causing the crisis, they took our tax dollars and gave themselves all-time record-breaking bonuses. They gave American taxpayer money to foreign banks and corporations, with billions going to places like Libya. They funneled hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars into to the Cayman Islands, robbing us some more by directly subsidizing tax evasion. They also added to the deficit by lending American tax dollars to their primary dealer banks, so the banks could then lend that same money back to the government at higher interest rates, leading to significant profits for the banks, at the further expense of the American public. Through bailout programs they gave sweetheart deals to their friends, which socialized any loses and privatized all the profits. They aid and abet trillions of dollars in accounting fraud. They routinely manipulate the stock market. And now, to top it all off, they are deliberately causing inflation in food, gas and basic necessities, while devaluing the dollar.
As I said, the list goes on, and you are probably grinding your teeth thinking of other egregious examples that I haven’t mentioned.
All of this can be summed up by the fact that we now have the most severe inequality of wealth in American history. The Fed’s policies have strategically and deliberately impoverished tens of millions of people to enrich what amounts to a small group of global bankers. They have aided and abetted trillions of dollars in fraudulent activity. This is not a conspiracy theory! This is the unfortunate reality of our crisis.
It is not hyperbole to call Ben Bernanke a financial terrorist who is committing crimes against humanity. This is a bold and blatant fact. At this point, no one can seriously debate against this anymore.
Watching Bernanke stride to the podium, smiling for his scripted press conference on Wednesday, was yet another depressing moment in our downfall. People keep debating why it was that Bernanke gave the press conference. Some say that it was a defensive tactic, an acknowledgement of the need to increase the propaganda campaign and cast the “illusion of transparency.” Perhaps, but I feel he also gave the press conference for the same reason that terrorists release video statements. He wants to show the world that he is still a free man who can terrorize tens of millions of people in broad daylight and get away with it. He wants to show us that he can shove our face into the dirt while smiling for the cameras. The main message of the press conference wasn’t anything that Bernanke had to say, it was to show the people of America that he can rob us, set our future on fire and still be walking the red carpet with fawning reporters and cameras flashing in his imperial presence – a way of demonstrating that the financial terrorists are still in charge, running the show.
We’ve been trying to bring people together to call for Bernanke’s removal and to break up the Federal Reserve banking system. With all the evidence that is now a matter of public record, you would think it would be easy to get people down to Wall Street on June 14th to demand this. Yet, sadly, it is still incredibly difficult to unite people on even this common sense common ground.
What does that tell you about our future prospects?
If we can’t even unite to topple Bernanke, our complete collapse into neo-feudalism is assured.

David,
I share your bewilderment at why even Americans in the know do nothing to hold the criminal bankers accountable. In the usual course of events, people rely on the government and court systems to pursue justice. This paralysis in the face of an utterly corrupt government and court system to hold corporate criminals accountable is understandable for people who have come up through they system, been educated in the system, and still rely on this system for a semblance of normality in their lives. If U.S. citizens were to face the real facts of how every comfort and privilege they enjoy in their lives as Americans depend on the killing fields in other countries and the widespread suffering of children and poor people throughout the world caused by the corporate criminals based in the U.S., could they face the dark shadow the U.S. casts in other countries of the world today? I agree, Ben Bernanke hands drip with blood. And he’s gloating, riding high on the sense of power and wealth that he enjoys.
Pride goeth before the fall. This is an important lesson for Ben Bernanke and his ilk, as well as for the American people.

David,
Your feelings of frustration are palpable and thoroughly understandable, yet possibly premature. Many of us who are aware of what’s happening, who Bernanke is and what he’s done, are also aware that removing him from his position without destroying the fed itself would simply leave a vacancy which they’d fill with another psychopathic tyrant. What do we accomplish by getting someone to step down from a position that shouldn’t exist in the first place?
Stop using the currency.
Make him meaningless, powerless, foolish. He becomes laughable when he’s king of nothing. Severely shrinking the use of dollars and establishing, normalizing the use of local currencies and barter is obviously a severe blow or the controllers wouldn’t kill/remove their puppet dictators when same try moving away from the dollar.
There are ways to get him down now, before the pitchforks appear in the streets, without expending the effort to remove him and watching a clone pop up in his place.
We’re with you, David. We do get it.

David, I admire your persistence and feel your frustration. I watch what is going on and I cannot believe the American people are just sitting watching. But at the same time, I can have an intense debate with some who will argue that everything is fine. Then talk to someone else who expresses the same frustrating aggravation of watching our country be taken by the greedy, power hungry wealthy. As much as I hate to say this, the time and conditions are not severe enough to spur the public into action. Americans have been trained to wait for the government to solve the big problems. Our ancestors were strong independent people who stood up for their rights. Today we have been trained to wait and deal with the inconveniences that government or society chooses to place upon us. Until large masses of people are starving, and blame the government for their problems, people will continue to be passive. You have to seek out the aggressive people who are already steaming if you want action now. Canvas the environmental groups who are mad about the Gulf spill, and the fracking for natural gas. Seek out those who are fuming about 911. Find the people who lost their homes to foreclosures. Seek out the groups who are already trying to fight for a cause against the government for some injustice. Find the people who feel the Constitution is no longer being followed and the Conspiracy theory believers. My point is that someone has to do the research to find the people out there who are willing to take action. It only takes a small percentage of the population, but someone needs to bring all these small groups together and get them to understand that the power of the people over government, banks and corporations resides with one primary thing. Their numbers! There needs to be a way to bring large numbers of People who are already mad and have the means to dedicate the time to fight, campaign, picket, rally, and most of all, BOYCOTT! People need to start taking a look at how little their money is making in banks. People need to take ALL their money OUT of banks. If we could figure out how to unite and stop paying taxes, that would do the trick pretty fast, but that is a difficult thing to do these days. So long as 90% of the people are working to survive, they will not have the time or inclination to protest. If the remainder are on food stamps and some in temporary housing they are being calmed by the welfare system and less incline to fight. It takes a LOT to stir up Americans, and they forget quickly. It was the shock and awe of 911 that got them fired up to support going to war against terror, and to allow the Patriot Act and other governmental proceedings that took back Constitutional rights. But how much work did the people have to do with that. None! They just watched it all on the TV. Then, in a very short time they lost their fury and wanted out of the phony war and wanted their rights back. But they do not want it enough yet to fight for it. So here we are now with less rights and soldiers at war supporting the wealthy and their war money making machine. If you choose to try to rally the small groups, I would also suggest a concerted effort be pointed toward law enforcement and soldiers and their families. If the people do rise up, the people will desperately need for the people in law enforcement and the military to know and understand that they are part of the American people too. Those who are suppose to protect and serve the people need to remember that when corrupt leaders give them orders to suppress, and aim their weapons at their own family, friends, neighbors and fellow middle class Americans. The people who are suppose to protect and serve need to be reminded that they took an oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. They did not take an oath to support corrupt politicians, Banksters and corporate tyrants. This country is suppose to have a government that runs to support the people, but we have shifted to a government that supports the super rich and their huge organizations over the majority of the population. So keep up the good work in trying to teach people of the injustices in our government. I hope you can teach them how to unite as well so we can use the power of the people(our numbers) to overcome the strength and organization of the wealthy. Good Luck!

I agree with you David DeGraw. The People need a live flesh-and-bone enemy target. Bernanke is the perfect human target as he is the head of the Federal Reserve System and the FED must be abolished in its present form if the Republic is to survive. Humans operate on an emotional level. The intellect, the abstractions and the explanations follow. The Money system must be changed.
The Constitution was purposely vague on the question of Money (“bills of credit”). Alexander Hamilton’s duplicity was key to creating that vagueness. He was George Washington’s senior military aide-de-camp and positioned himself strategically to be Washington’s first Secretary of the Treasury after the adoption of the Constitution where and when he and his banking associates maneuvered successfully to establish a privately-owned nationally-chartered bank, the First Bank of the United States. There is today an unholy movement to charter a Third Bank of the United States under Hamiltonian principles.
Hamilton was one of the few Framers of the Constitution who fully understood Money and the Money power. He was less a patriot in opposing the British then he was a self-serving scoundrel who planned with his banking associates to replace the private Bank of England with a private Bank of the United States with themselves in charge of the creation and control of the national Currency.
Two hundred and thirty years of bickering and worse, much, much worse has followed leading to the apparently intractable situation that we find ourselves in today as a people and as a nation on the verge of a new enslavement, a new serfdom.
Author and former Wall Street trader Stephen Zarlenga (www.monetary.org) has written about the morally, ethically and ideologically corrupt London and Wall Street-centered national and international Money cabal and their criminal monetary system. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has caught the spirit of Karlenga’s brilliant monetary thesis (The American Monetary Act) in his House resolution introduced in December of 2010 (http://www.monetary.org/hr6550bill.pdf).
Ellen Brown (http://www.webofdebt.com/) is waging a valiant and brilliant financial guerilla war on the Money elite at the local and State levels. See her video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn6mlgrG51I&feature=related for a short history of Money in the English-American colonies.
How do we light the spark that catches the brush and the forest on fire and destroys this alien monster that is devouring our children, our families and our elderly? Yes, there are secret and semi-secret cabals pulling the strings behind the scenes but the visible enemy struts arrogantly in front of us smearing our faces with animal feces and human blood.
FED Chairman Bernanke is the weak link in this satanic structure that is devouring the American people. He is the perfect target. Benjamin Shalom Bernanke must go! Now!

The fact that nothing is done about the abuses of the Fed is a symptom of a political system run by two parties that are on the take from the wealthy, through their corporations.
The Green Party doesn’t accept corporate money and represents CITIZENS’ interests, like ending the wars, single-payer health care, and economic justice.
People are brainwashed by the corporate media to believe a third party can’t make any progress unless it gets 51% of the vote in the next election. From this fallacy, they conclude for us, that it’s impossible to change our political system by voting for a non-corporate party. How convenient!
IN REALITY, building a new political party is a PROCESS that spans several elections while the new party grows. A mere 5% of the vote will get the Green Party matching Federal funding, which is a good first goal.
Losing votes to the Green Party is something the Democrats can’t ignore, like they ignore our emails and petitions. So even getting single digits of the vote is a warning shot that if the Democrats continue selling us out to corporate interests, they’ll lose a lot more votes.
This will have a positive effect, even before the Green Party starts winning elections at the state and Federal levels. The Green Party already has over 200 members in office that have won their elections at the local level.
If you support one of the corporate parties, IT MAKES YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM.
Be part of the solution. Vote Green!

Bancor is being mooted by the #IMF #banksters so they can continue with their #nwo agenda and they might just get it but with the oncoming bout of widespread poverty coming America’s way I don’t see how they keep power.

David,
When I read the follow up comments to your article, I see that you have solid supporters. People who are fed up with the corruption in government and the phony monetary system we are all entangled in. I read comments about how we should stop paying taxes, but how? We are tied into systems that automatically takes our taxes. We should boycott banks, but we cannot get our paychecks cashed without banks. We are frustrated individuals who are barking out while we are on our breaks from working for money to survive. How do we break away from the work long enough to revolt. How do we bring together the brains that can work as a team to fight the organizations that pay teams to work to keep us enslaved. I am frustrated, I read of the others who are frustrated. I would like to start going to an office each day to work with a team that focuses it’s efforts to stop government corruption, to stop banking and corporate corruption, to prevent the destruction of our planet, to save and improve our Constitution so the freedom and Liberty of this country continues and is willingly adopted across the globe because it improves the standards of living for all that it touches. Can anyone tell me where I can work for an organization like that???
Thanks to David for his article. Thanks to Thomas for his links related to Money(excellent links!) Good Luck to Dominic. I hope his invention crushes the grid! Lots of good points by ectoendomezo and Alan8.
If any of you are people who are not influenced by the temptation of wealth and power, then you just might want to consider running for an office in government. We need to completely clear our government of the greedy power mongers and get real good patriots into office to clean things up, shut down the Federal Reserve, bring all troops, munitions and military equipment home and stop policing the world. There is a LOT to be done and it will take people with LOTS of backbone to do it! Do YOU have the back bone?

Soon many of us will be making so little money that we won’t be required to pay income tax anyway. I I haven’t for many years. Some years I manage to get make enough to get repairs done to the car and dental work for my teeth, however usually most all I pay is self employment tax, F.I.C.A. stuff. I decided years ago to live simply and have a small income. I also do work under the table. And I trade. I live like this for several reasons; less complications, less stress, a feeling of independence because I know how to live on less money, few debts, more time, an act of protest of our consumerist society, and as a way not to support a system I don’t agree with. The careers or trades (the arts) that my husband and I pursue don’t pay all that well but we love doing it and are proud of our work. And our supplies and equipment, which we would buy anyway, are deducted from our profit!
My point is this. Could we possibly begin building a parallel economy of sorts that can slowly replace the one that is not working for most of us. Can we just stop “playing” with them? What can we do on an individual, neighborhood, community, city, state level to side-step taking part in a system we don’t agree with. Use less stuff. Stop buying their junk. Become self employed or work for a small local business, most of us do anyway. Start a worker owned business. Can we group together to make and get micro-loans for each other? Can we make our own bank? Can we teach each other and learn from one another? Grow some of our own food and trade with others who do too. Learn how to reuse goods and materials. Learn how to do as many things for yourself as you can, or find friends and neighbors who will trade with you. Develop relationships with others in your neighborhood and community. Talk with them about how you feel and what you think is wrong with our country. Learn about people and how everything works locally. Volunteer, which is a good way to find others like yourself. GET CONNECTED.
I know this sounds like a solution that will take way too long. BUT chances are, we are going to end up needing to do this anyway what with Peak Oil, climate change and the “bad guys” in power. The less you need those “bad guys” the better. It could be fun, challenging and interesting. Something to do when we can’t drive places to go shopping for entertainment. The knowledge we accumulate can be passed on to the next generation. We are the ones who do all the work anyway…..

To Chris Rodgers,
I like your ideas and I agree it is the way to go. Not only better for every individual in what we learn(to be naturally independent) but far better for the planet(which is the only one we have!) I am trying to learn the things you talk about, but I have a LONG way to go! I do think it will take a while to accomplish what you are saying, because most Americans have been conditioned to a soft life and they do NOT want to do the work. I think they need to see the freedom, peace and back to nature beauty, but many cannot see that. But I still think that all who are willing should make every effort. The Amish and Quakers are a good example, but I do not think we have to all be as extreme.
Now for a bit of the sour side… I do agree we should try to take all business away from the corrupt banks, corporations and try to rid ourselves of the crooked politicians. But you have to keep one thing in mind. These people are VERY much like our images of the mafia. They are evil aggressive people. As soon as they realize they are being squeezed out, they WILL NOT sit idle. They will aggressively come after our money and attempt to push their slavery upon us. They are doing it now in 3rd world countries where people are innocent and unknowing. Sooner or later it will come down to slavery or battle. We are already actually in the slavery of their choice, it will only get worse. Battle will come when we finally get the backbone and mad enough to demand our freedom back!

I agree with everything being said here, but would like to shift the focus a bit. Our enemies are not Bernanke, Obama, Geithner. These guys are the water carriers for the real controllers, which include perhaps the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and other banking families. Our congress, judicial system, all state governments, schools, have been taken over by these thoroughly evil and spiteful families. Getting rid of Bernanke will accomplish nothing. Our task is much more complicated: Overhauling the system through a superbly-strategized, revolution. Lamentably, all other options have been foreclosed. The question we face is this: Have we the courage to really fight back against these families, who are behind so much needless suffering and deprivation in this world, and who appear determined to destroy the biosphere, and, consequently, our species itself? There was never, in the entire history of our species, a more urgent need for a revolution. Any action to undermine their vicious, self-destructive, matrix is justified, by any standard of morality.

The sad fact is, we do have an elite that has put themselves above the law. And, it’s their their self serving interest, driven by a complicit government, that’s responsible for most of our wows. These are not hero businessmen who build enterprise’s enriching our society and communities. These are parasitic looters with no interest in creating anything. They have captured our ‘representative’ government and regulatory bodies and bend them to their will. Lawmakers and regulators are minions, with benefits.
“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.” – Thomas Jefferson
Our nation was founded on the principles of a democratic republic and free market capitalism that no longer exist. The choices presented on election day amounts to no more than peanuts or plain; no choice at all. “The illusion of democracy is an insult to our intelligence.”- Zeitgeiest II
Both parties are of the same spinning coin, serving corporate masters in a system of predatory capitalism where profits are private and losses are socialized. Such a system, controlled by a small group of oligarchs and governmental officials, who stand above the law and direct economic outcomes, is not democratic or capitalist. It is by definition, fascist. Yet, the majority of “we the people” stand on the sidelines as if we have no stake in the game.
“You assist an evil system most effectively by obeying its orders and decrees. An evil system never deserves such allegiance. Allegiance to it means partaking of the evil. A good person will resist an evil system with his or her whole soul. – Mahatma Gandhi
As a percentage of our economy, the financial industry has never been so heavily weighted. This weight has nearly ceased to create wealth, except that which is spun off into the pockets of a very few. From a Logical standpoint the Banks no longer serve their purpose of capitalizing a vibrant business community but generate bonuses by extracting rents. Further, they fabricate the illusion of viability covering up losses or not realizing them. According to Christopher Whalen of Institutional Risk Analytics, “The fraud and obfuscation now underway in Washington to protect the TBTF banks and GSEs totals into the trillions of dollars and rises to the level of treason.”
In spite of $Trillions in government backstops and $Trillions more in bailouts the biggest banks still sit atop $Trillions in non performing debt and highly speculative derivatives, (toxic assets). Instead of cleaning up their mess, funds have been used to further consolidate (to bigger to fail) and in speculation; creating bubbles. Financial reform and FASB accounting gimmicks aside, the money center banks are worse off than two years ago. Forced to Mark assets honestly many, are insolvent….
Below is a comment to an article by Bill Black. It is profane and the number of like reactions are growing by the day.
“if the king and his princes aren’t going to punish the people’s tormentors, isn’t it the right of the people to unseat the king? Didn’t a document some rubes signed back in 1776 say just that? To be perfectly clear, this unwillingness of current leadership to “shake up the tree” while the fruit of that tree is poisoning us, gives us the right to defy that leadership.
We the People accept that Justice is not divine and have thus acquiesced that justice must be guided by process to minimize error and the persecution of the innocent. However, the king’s abandoning the pursuit of justice is not a legitimate use of process, it is an unjust act favoring one group of citizens beyond all others, to which the People have every right to respond, including decorating lampposts with tyrants and banksters….”

I find only on errror.
“1% own 70% of financial wealth”
1%-43% 10% =70% 20% =93%
120,000,000 workers own 7%—- Banana Republic?
I study my butt off and you come up and cover thousands of my pages in 17 pages. Look shamed!PHANTOM HISTORIAN
Clarence Swinney is unknown in Burlington as a Political Historian.
He does not discuss politics with family or friends.
In 1991 he was apolitical until he read Haynes Johnson book on Reagan “Sleepwalking Through History”. He voted twice for Reagan and was astonished at all the criminal activities and Reagan policies promoted to cut government but did the opposite. Reagan budgets increased Spending by 80% and Debt by 183%. In the prior fifty years, we had spent 6066B and Reagan eight budgets totaled over 7000B. Reagan had 137 members of his administration investigated,charged with crimes, and many convicted usually about money fraud.
He had never heard the name Bill Clinton until he heard two of three speeches by Clinton at Georgetown University in 1991. He was impressed by the ability to express his views in detail without notes. He was very impressed by the Clinton book “Putting People First” at putting campaign promises in great detail with all the negative effects. He copied 58 promises in the book and after two years a check found he had made an effort to enact 56 of 58.
He started buying books on politics and has purchased over 500 for his library.
He can verify having read the equivalent of 1,000(200 page) books in 19 years.
The Google has him listed on March 20, 2011,with over 250,000 articles. He warns that many are duplication or irrelevant to his writings. Bring up his name in your address bar and you get 2700 articles all his. He has had articles printed in Business Week, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times and many other publications.
His library contains over 500 books, 300 note books filled with data on budgets, debt, deficit,
plus 45,000 pages of articles in his computer file. He has each annual Global Almanac since 1980.
He once had over 200,000 pages stored on pallets in his garage.
He tried to get two books published in 1998. Publishers wanted a huge fee since he was an unknown writer. His two books were : “Clintonomics vs Reaganomics” and “Scumbag Xpress — how to waste 100 million in a failed effort to destroy a presidency”.
He had frequent communication with Gene Lyons of Arkansas Democrat Gazette
and Gene co-authored the Book “The Hunting Of The President” which contained information similar to his. It was a nyt best seller.
He has been writing many articles on INEQUALITY IN AMERICA and how Wall Street, Since 1980, gained control of most of our Wealth, Major Corporations, Banks, Media,Congress and White House.
He writes that today Top 1% own 43% of Total Financial Wealth and get 24% of our total income. In our Financial Wealth top 10% own 70% ; 20% own 93% ; and 80% or 120,000,000 workers own a measly 7%. From 2002-2006 the top 1% got two thirds of Total Income Growth and 90% got 12%. He calls it a Banana Republic Distribution.
He concludes that this redistribution since 1980 occurred due, partly, to government policies deliberately designed favoring Wall Street and permitted it to become world’s largest gambling Casino instead of adding Value to the nations Standard Of Living.
He writes that most Americans are unaware of this redistribution of wealth and income that threatens our democracy. Many economists, including former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan and current Chair Bernanke, have expressed concern over it. He feels this extreme Inequality is the most dangerous threat to our democracy.
Mr. Swinney welcomes comments and lecture requests at cswinney2@triad.rr.com but asks one thing present facts and numbers not opinions.
