MORE PROPAGANDA FOR THE SLEEPING MASSES!
![]() Bernanke says recession 'very likely over' By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer – 1 hr 19 mins ago WASHINGTON – Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Tuesday that the worst recession since the 1930s is probably over. Bernanke said the economy likely is growing now, but it won't be sufficient to prevent the unemployment rate, now at a 26-year high of 9.7 percent, from rising. "The recession is very likely over at this point," Bernanke said in responding to questions at the Brookings Institution. The Fed boss also said he is confident that Congress will enact a revamp of the nation's financial rule book to prevent a future crisis from happening. "I feel quite confident that a comprehensive reform will be forthcoming," Bernanke said. It has been "too big a calamity" over the past year, with the near meltdown of the U.S. financial system, for Congress not to take action, he added. President Barack Obama on Monday urged Congress to enact legislation this year. Bernanke's speech to at Brookings was identical to the one he delivered last month at a Fed conference in Wyoming. Analysts predict the economy is growing in the current quarter, which ends Sept. 30, at an annual rate of 3 to 4 percent. It contracted at a 1 percent pace in the second quarter.

There was no definite 'STATEMENT' made by Bernanke, only 'virtual' verbalization
![]() 'very likely over'Sounds like one of those commercials that say 'virtually safe' or 'virtually free' ![]() Similar to our 'virtual' President. ![]() Last edited by peaceandlove; 12-02-2009 at 10:54 PM. |

Yeah... He is Right the recession has Ended...
Two weeks ago, unemployment went to double digits; That's a ' depression.' They'll do anything to make it sound like they are doing something; other than pulling their ' richard's.' The only thing that comes out of Ben's mouth is more Shif... I want them held accountable... Trooly, Tango Last edited by Tango; 09-16-2009 at 04:29 AM. |

The hard sell is now being heavily sold to attract in new sucker money into the markets while the fat cats cash in all their holdings.
All media outlets will also talk things up to promote a "thriving" economy, this will be the icing on the cake before the rug gets pulled completely. Hyper inflation is maybe a few months away, soon paper money will be used for toilet paper ............ Heres an idea. Might be a viable business proposition for Avalon marketing here, Federal Reserve Toilet Paper ... (with all the excess money being printed at plague like proportions), I think we can get pictures added to these proposed toilet bills with illuminati/Secret Society's/Fed Reserve members/Acorn/ three letter government agencies ect and all people involved with fraud/deception on each sheet .... This may provide some enjoyable sittings or perhaps some enjoyment for us when its time for us to take a dump. |

Going ![]() ![]() (meant to be a joke TtC because I had just read your Replying to Posts thread: http://projectavalon.net/forum/showthread.php?t=15717 ) PUMP FIRST...THEN DUMP!!! ![]() Here is some good advice about Pump and Dump Schemes from a commission that has no idea how to spot them. ![]() U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Pump and Dump Schemes "Pump and dump" schemes, also known as "hype and dump manipulation," involve the touting of a company's stock (typically microcap companies) through false and misleading statements to the marketplace. After pumping the stock, fraudsters make huge profits by selling their cheap stock into the market. Pump and dump schemes often occur on the Internet (LOL) where it is common to see messages posted that urge readers to buy a stock quickly or to sell before the price goes down, or a telemarketer will call using the same sort of pitch. Often the promoters (The Fed) will claim to have "inside" information about an impending development or to use an "infallible" combination of economic and stock market data to pick stocks. In reality, they may be company insiders or paid promoters (newspapers) who stand to gain by selling their shares after the stock price is "pumped" up by the buying frenzy they create. Once these fraudsters "dump" their shares and stop hyping the stock, the price typically falls, and investors lose their money. For more information about microcap fraud, please read our publication, Microcap Stock: A Guide for Investors. http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm SOURCE and DISCLAIMER: http://www.sec.gov/answers/pumpdump.htm I think I better give it up for the night, I'm having a hard time trying to replace words in the above article and make sense.

My good friend from 7th grade who day trades the stock market said that all the graphs and charts are showing everything should be tanking in the market and it is not.
I take care of repo homes, we are presently cleaning out new repos 2-6 per day, it's double what it was a year ago and I keep hearing there is a huge wave of homes yet to come in but nobody knows when it's going to hit. Just stay positive , help as many as you can and we all need to pull together to get thru all of this , eliminate fear by generating giving and hope. Eliminate fear by saying where is my next opportunity? Eliminate fear if you are at the bottom by saying "one day it's gonna get better , it's just a question of when". I know I was there at one time and things will turn around and persistance pays off. |

Call me prejudiced, but as soon as I read the name Bernanke, I knew if he spoke he was lying. To top that off, he was speaking at the Brookings Institute, which we will remember was the same idiotic group who said way back when that the masses would go hysterical if they were told that UFOs and Aliens are real. It appears to me that ole boy Bernanke only speaks to his own choir members.

Sept. 15, 2009 Gold at record high AFTER Bernanke says recession is over NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures climbed back above the $1,000-an-ounce mark to finish at a new record on Tuesday, after upbeat U.S. economic reports and as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the recession is likely over. However, he and other Fed officials reiterated views that unemployment will remain high and that the economy stay weak well into next year, fueling expectations that the central bank will continue to provide ample liquidity. The front-month September gold contract ended up $5.10, or 0.5%, at $1,005.0 an ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. This marks the highest settlement for a nearby gold contract. The more active December contract rose $5.20, or 0.5%, to finish at $1,006.30 an ounce. "Gold is continuing to knock on the $1,000-an-ounce door without making a concerted effort either way to test resistance or support," analysts at Goldcore said in a note.

Fed to Set Price of Money Today, 2:15pm ET
Posted September 23rd, 2009 by Michael Nystrom Daily Paul The commissars at the nation's monetary politburo, led by Chief Credit Czar Personage (CCCP) Ben "Helicopter" Bernanke, will announce the price of money today at 2:15 pm ET, and declare that the economy is sound. ![]() The price of money, which is set periodically by financial commissars in secret meetings such as the one being held today, determines the cost of all transactions across the nation and the world. The utmost secrecy is required at meetings in order to ensure the independence and non-politicization of the complex decision making process carried out by elite members of the cabal. Participating ring members include representatives of banks and finance companies. In order to ensure the stability and security of the global financial cartel, citizens, their representatives and members of the press are excluded from participating in, witnessing, or even hearing about proceedings. Club insiders have recently sought to assure the public by repeatedly stressing that everything is under control, and that greater transparency poses a grave threat to this otherwise sound and robust international system of control.

![]() ![]() Economy grows in 3Q, signals end of recession October 29, 2009 By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer – 15 mins ago WASHINGTON – The economy grew at a 3.5 percent pace in the third quarter, the best showing in two years, fueled by government-supported spending on cars and homes. It's the strongest signal yet that the economy has entered a new, though fragile, phase of recovery and that the worst recession since the 1930s has ended. Going forward, many analysts expect the pace of the budding recovery to be plodding due to rising unemployment and continuing difficulties by both consumers and businesses to secure loans. "This welcome milestone is just another step, and we still have a long road to travel until the economy is fully recovered," said Christina Romer, President Barack Obama's chief economist. "It will take sustained, robust ... growth to bring the unemployment rate down substantially. Such a decline in unemployment is, of course, what we are all working to achieve." The much-awaited turnaround reported Thursday by the Commerce Department ended the streak of four straight quarters of contracting economic activity, the first time that's happened on records dating to 1947.

To The Barkers: Answer This Question
Sunday, November 15. 2009 Posted by Karl Denninger "The recession ended in June": Dennis Kneale "The recession was definitely over in September": Any one of a number of people. Ok. Let's say that I accept all this at face value, even though while driving through my definitely-beach-oriented local town here this afternoon I noted even more closed-and-gone storefronts than there were a couple of weeks ago, and last night at the local open-air mall, although the evening was absolutely gorgeous, you could have fired a 155mm Howitzer down the "main drag" without killing anyone - because there was almost nobody there, and literally not one shopping bag was in evidence. I simply have to ask the pundits and the carnival barkers, of which CNBC is the worst (but certainly not the only sinner) the following - why do we need any of these programs if in fact the economy is growing again: Zero interest rates from The Fed. Isn't 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% more consistent with economic growth? If indeed the economy is expanding, why do we need "funny money"?Continues with charts: http://market-ticker.denninger.net/a...-Question.html |

Fed survey finds recovery gaining momentum
![]() By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer – 38 mins ago 12/2/2009 WASHINGTON – The economic recovery gained traction in late fall as shoppers spent a bit more and factories bumped up production. That assessment Wednesday by the Federal Reserve marked its most upbeat view since the economy tumbled into recession two years ago. The Fed's new snapshot of business barometers nationwide found that conditions have generally improved since the last report in late October. Eight of the Fed's 12 regions surveyed reported some pickup in activity or improved conditions, the Fed said. Those regions were: Boston, New York, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Dallas and San Francisco. The four other regions — Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond and Atlanta — described conditions as little changed or mixed. The new report adds to evidence that the economy is rebounding after the worst recession since the 1930s. CONTINUES: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091202/..._fi/us_economy I wonder if the Full Moon today is causing me laugh at almost everthing!!! Full Moon — December 2, 2009 in Gemini: Disturbing news about transportation and education and the possibility of strikes are to be expected. Mercury, "Lord of Communication and Transportation,” will cause serious setbacks to the possibilities of traveling or communicating. Dramatic changes are ahead in the worlds of transportation, finance, traveling, and the postal industries. Sad news involving serious accidents, terrorism and devastating weather is on its way. Many people will find themselves stranded in airports. The impact of these events will bring on a form of financial death and rebirth for some large corporations who will have to merge to survive. The year will end in a destructive Supernova window and could prove to be difficult for government decisions and actions. Lunation impact on all signs: Aries - Difficult news from the mail and a deal or a trip gets you worried. Taurus - Trouble with a contract or corporation, don’t sign anything now. Gemini - Stress coming from your past, a business or emotional partner is burdensome. Cancer - Don’t worry about your past. Stress at home is expected soon. Leo - A friend and a new endeavor will worry you. Virgo - A change of career or stress at home is a problem, be patient. Libra - The mail or telephone may bring you sad news from faraway. Scorpio - Expect a restructure of your finances and a form of death soon. Sagittarius - Don’t take any chances with your partners or traveling. Capricorn - Eliminate all guilt to bring about better work and health. Aquarius - Love and children matters won't go well for a while, just be patient. Pisces - Your home life brings stress, you may have to move soon. From Dr. Turi's 2009 Moon Power Starguide Last edited by peaceandlove; 12-07-2009 at 08:54 PM. |

Fedspeak Translation 12/7/2009
Monday, December 7. 2009 Posted by Karl Denninger Ben Bernanke spewed forth: Chairman Ben S. Bernanke At the Economic Club of Washington D.C., Washington D.C. December 7, 2009 http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsev...e20091207a.htm It is a pleasure to speak once again before the Economic Club of Washington. Having faced the most serious financial crisis and the worst recession since the Great Depression, our economy has made important progress during the past year. Although the economic stress faced by many families and businesses remains intense, with job openings scarce and credit still hard to come by, the financial system and the economy have moved back from the brink of collapse, economic growth has returned, and the signs of recovery have become more widespread.We printed up $12 trillion in "freebie" credit, manipulated the MBS market (and in doing so have fomented and created an accounting fraud for all of those entities that hold said paper) and have purchased alleged "assets" at vastly over their actual value on purpose. This has allowed financial institutions to claim to be solvent when in fact they are bankrupt several times over. Understandably, in a situation as complicated as this one, people have many questions about the current situation and the path forward. Accordingly, taking inspiration from the ubiquitous frequently-asked-questions lists, or FAQs, on Internet websites, in my remarks today I'd like to address four important FAQs about the economy and the Federal Reserve. They are: 1. Where is the economy headed? Where Is the Economy Headed?We created this mess through malfeasance and misfeasance. In combination with other central banks around the world we pumped into the economy tremendous amounts of liquidity that should not have existed. This in turn created tremendous instability and asset bubbles throughout the economy, most particularly in housing. Policymakers here and abroad had undertaken an extraordinary series of actions aimed at stabilizing the financial system and cushioning the economic impact of the crisis.We cut off our Pinocchio nose. Repeatedly. The damn thing keeps wedging in the door when I try to go take a leak! Critically, these policy interventions succeeded in averting a global financial meltdown that could have plunged the world into a second Great Depression. But although a global economic cataclysm was avoided, the crisis nevertheless had widespread and severe economic consequences, including deep recessions in most of the world's major economies. In the United States, the unemployment rate, which was as low as 4.4 percent in March 2007, currently stands at 10 percent.We created it on purpose and through willful neglect, you ate it. Aren't we special? Continues Extensively: http://market-ticker.denninger.net/a...n-1272009.html Dec. 7, 2009, 2:26 p.m. Gold falls for second day as Bernanke sees low inflation risks ![]() NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures fell Monday for a second session, pulling back from record highs, as comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that inflation will remain "subdued" reduced the metal's appeal as a hedge against rising prices. ![]() "The Fed is committed to keeping inflation low and will be able to do so," Bernanke said to a group of economists in Washington. However, inflation "appears likely to remain subdued for some time." Continues???: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/gol...als-2009-12-07 |
