I wasn't sure should I make a own thread so I say it here... Anyone interested in blacking out their avatars here? And Americans, to participate to the Black This Out-moneybomb? I covered my avatars eyes with Paint but forums didn't allow me to change it for some reason. Hope it starts to work on some other time.

Oh, almost forgot, this is Ron Paul stuff.

Yeah, I think they added Krugman like that to make sure everyone caught it. If you took out Bernanke's physics and Krugman's wetdream, I would have thought it was real.

it actually had me until they quoted "economic growth faster than the speed of light".

Heck, I was wetting my pants until I read "a tingle in my balls"

. Can't blame you. This funny Keynesian formula is not too far from the real one being used in practice today.

I don't know if this says more about me or those mentioned in the article, but it actually had me until they quoted "economic growth faster than the speed of light".

Startling Unpublished Keynes Equations Discovered

“...

It’s pure Keynesian genius” said former Fed Governor Fred Mishkin. “There is a strong consensus among economists, at least within the Federal Reserve, that liquidity is the answer to the age-old question ‘what is the meaning of life?’” So, it makes perfect sense that someone as brilliant as Keynes would adapt these equations to a framework for fiscal and monetary policy.”

Although very technical in original form, Moody’s Chief Economist Mark Zandi said the final derivation of the equations can be simplified to the following:

“Unless you’re a PhD economist, I think it’s impossible to appreciate the elegance of the final derivation: by raising every stimulus factor to the power of infinity, you immediately move the probability of future recessions to zero. It’s brilliant. The notion that ‘risk’ is a necessary component of free market capitalism will finally be discredited.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke was equally sanguine. “I’ve asked some of my fellow academics at CERN to begin modeling the equations with an array of neutrinos, mixed with a small amount of unconventional policy. Even without the helicopter, it should be theoretically possible to achieve an economic growth rate faster than the speed of light. Einstein was a monetarist, so I’ve always been skeptical of his Special Theory. It is now painfully obvious that he should have raised ‘c’ to the power of infinity, not 2.”

“I’m still trying to catch my breath!” exclaimed Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman. “Literally, when I read the equations, I felt a chill down my spine and a tingle in my balls. We can finally end the partisan bickering and get the global economy back on track.”

Not trolling, just politics-as-usual. They must be focus-grouping 2012 and realized that the public will not react well to the "blame it all on Bush" message that they've been milking since 2008. People usually hate blame-shifters and the 2008 election was really "anything but Bush" not "Obama has a free pass to blame his failures on Bush." It is an understatement to say that the state of American politics is dismal. So, this is just a shift in messaging to "we take responsibility for the state of the economy because we're in charge ... but before you blame us for how bad things are, think about how much worse they would have been without us in charge." This is a message that the public is well-conditioned to accept and there is no reason they won't eat it up. This has been the Esablishment's primary argument through all the messes they've created (World War I, Great Depression, World War II, etc. etc.)

Looks like the Dinosaur CIA thing is actually the name of a song, so it's a little less absurd, ha.

Anyway, here's some rap news video featuring Ron Paul and some of our favorite proponents of the Resource Based Economy:

Not entirely favorable to free markets, but humorous none-the-less. I was going to turn if off about halfway through but I'm glad I watched till the end.

Clayton:

I agree that the video FascistSoup posted is a stunningly concise, direct and absolutely accurate description of the money-creation process. Unfortunately, I looked up this "Four Horsemen" film and it looks like another Zeitgeist disinfo piece. It prominently features...

I did (and found) the exact same thing you did, C. I literally posted that and then looked up the movie and saw that trailer, but got distracted before I could edit my post with essentially exactly what you just said there. Thanks for saving me some typing. ;)
