DeMint Questions Bernanke During Renomination

[selfrealizedexile]

I was impressed with DeMint.

[healthhavencom]

Why show this clown (Bernanke) any respect? He's been WRONG WRONG WRONG for how long?

DeMint had excellent questions but his tone was much too weak.

[hittingrabbit]

And besides if they were so concerned that is the Federal Reserve for many years about Fanny Mae etc. then why did they keep loaning them money? via the Federal Reserve banks such as Chase?damn people aren't stupid and I'm in SC

[hittingrabbit]

What I didn't like was the last tidbit that Bernie mentions,going with everything that Congress wants with the exception of monetary policy,which is basically so as long as we get to control the supply of the money were ok with changes.Hello controlling monetary policies allows them to print currency and flood the market driving the value down if they wish,that's stupid on our part to allow it to continue.amounts printed should only be authorized by the Treasury.Not bankers.

[dershope]

I can only imagine the amount of money that this man has had and will have stuffed in his pockets to continually sit there and take these verbal beatings. I'm not on Bernake's side but he must really owe some personal debt in order to say the things he does with a straight face.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a newscast one day where he jumped off the top of the Fed.

[Castaldo2010]

I doubt i agree with Demint on much of anything, but i agree that the fed should be audited.

[jordonmcconnell]

Out government makes Bernie Madoff look like a crooked kid running a lemonade stand

[rguil15]

I'm not sure I buy this at all. DeMint references "personal conversations" they've had about what transparency level Ben would be "ok" with to restore the trust of the American people? So first of all DeMint must think we're all idiots, I can imagine it went something like this "Hey Ben, look I've got to ask you a few "tough" questions to keep my sheeple happy, you just answer and I'll act all impressed by your honesty, then we'll go have a beer and laugh about the little show we just put on".

[healthhavencom]

very possible

[loai050]

Who are the co-conspirators ?

[sanggkim]

barney frank and chris dodd.

repubs and demos. 2006 congress, bush and our great leader barry hussien obama.

[loai050]

Sanggkim- Yes, of course ! - I should have known immediately. Thanks.

[shsscar]

Yes, Jim Demint really does get it.

[3martijns]

Bennie Bernie Ankles is a MAIN CONSPIRATOR in the DEMISE of our country.

ANY senator who VOTES for his REnomination should be voted OUT of office!!

[Savalito1]

this clip dont work

[cew6251]

"The purchasing power of the dollar is stable." That's why China has stopped buying our national debt and begun stockpiling gold, right?

Thank you for asking the tough questions, Senator. We're proud of you in South Carolina, sir.

[justanothersheeple]

can everyone just stop spending PLEASE

[PompousFlea]

Lol @ 9:30 "Chairman Bernanski"

[Taikaru]

Thank you Sen. DeMint!

We need more senators like this! Please help Rand Paul win his race so he can champion the free market in the Senate!

Pledge to donate at randsteaparty (.) c o m for the December 16 moneybomb! Let's take our country back.

[louis12346]

wait till all business have to do paper work on Global Warming Carbon Tax & Paper Work for 10 Trillion in Carbon Derivatives Market , The trickle down cost will destroy USA.

[Dkouts57]

8:52

suck a dick!

[PompousFlea]

Seriously!

[ConservativeWatchdog]

We are watching Bernake loose his job.

[Skylark1957]

Bernanke is a snake in the grass and DeMint showed this clearly. Thank you Mr.DeMint. I wish you represented Colorado-- we are lost with the moronic dems at the helm.

[JessicaBelle81]

Whoa, Jim Demint really does get it. I was suprised when I heard him ask about capital originating in the freemarket based on supply and demand.

[Shameonfed]

Every politician who votes for bernanke's confirmation needs to be voted out of office!

[jameslrd]

Shameonfed, I agree with you completely, It is the responsibility of every American to vote out or recall any politician who doesnt represent and defend both The Constitution and his or her Constituents, there is no need to suffer a full term under some one who has lied to the voters just to get elected, they are now realizing in Congress that we are watching them, I cant wait to see what happens next year.

[maddsri]

but then dems and repubs would never get elected...c'mon bro just join the fascist train, don't get all brave and intelligent on us and vote third party! oh, almost forgot the obligatory god bless america!

[jameslrd]

:) Amen? Ha HA.

[Intervene]

Great stuff by DeMint.

[Zile77]

The last part of Ben's response was an obvious and total lie, just like his previous lies that got us into the worst monetary mess since the 30's. Since there isn't any transparency now, how could he even say that?

[ScientologyStoners]

Did anybody see that Gold went up a lot during the Bernanke testimony, especially when Bernanke was telling a lie? It's now over 1200 dollars!!!

[ScientologyStoners]

HR 1207 and S604. Rand Paul for Bunning's Senate Seat so that could create the Dynamic Duo against the FED. DeMint, you were at the Tea Parties, and Rand Paul is with the tea Party. PLEASE ENDORSE HIM, so you could finish the job!!!

[mctarmac10]

2:00 - 4:00 minutes is the most honest analysis you'll get out of the political class, well done DeMint.

[depburns]

Notice all of a sudden this video takes a long, long time to load. Maybe to keep people from viewing it?

[jamezbond78]

This guy really appreciates Ben Bernankes testimony...that he made very clear. lol

[artemizzy]

cant wait to see the vote on S604 , im sure there's going to be a list where names of senators are shown voting yes or no............ and citizens know what to do with senators who voted no

[pwnttothemax]

either bernanke is a straight up liar when asked about the economies health, or he's not intelligent enough to be in such a powerful position. he should be kicked from the chair in either instance.... or the fed should just be abolished :P

FREE BANKING!!! wewt!

[IsraeliteMilitia]

Is that toasted "jew" that I smell?

[dailycrow]

what have you eaten?

[subuey]

what you have to understand about puppets like Bernake and Geitner is that their goals and aims are fundamentally EVIL. You cannot win this battle with light hearted rehtoric Mr. Demint. I hope you will look to the history of Andrew Jackson for tactical and charismatic insight.

[Thrice13]

Well done sir!!!

[dentistsugardusty]

do i see "fed has range of ways to reduce unemployment????????

Oh I didn't know this was a magic show.

[dentistsugardusty]

???? He did say "when congress created" ????

congress created??? c-c-c-congress created.....that's sad to settle and adapt to this......LIE!

[addiktion13]

"We're an agency of government" uhhh hell no. You are a private corporation that manages monetary policy for the government and it's people. That does not make you an agency of the government. You can listen to Alan Greenspan talk about how government has no power over the federal reserve, which means, that no person in this country can investigate the fraud they have done.

Audit it the fed people! If they are innocent then there will be nothing to worry about.

[nvsyru]

Wow, at 2:13 Bernanke admits to having other co-conspirators!  What conspiracy? Anyone else catch this?

[Taikaru]

Thank you Sen. DeMint!

We need more senators like this! Please help Rand Paul win his race for U.S. Senate against the establishment opposing him.

Pledge to donate at randsteaparty (.) c o m for the December 16 moneybomb!

Let's take our liberty back.

[AquarianPublius]

Well done, sir! Keep up the PRESSURE!

[LossAngeles]

Bernanke is a central banker who has no criminal liability..... of course he's a bit worried by the threat of HR1207 but face it, he'll never hang for his treason like crimes against the USA. IMO he's a liar and theif.

[sirus10]

i say arrest bernanke paulson geitner and greenspan bring them to trial end the fed goldman sachs all rothchild rockerfeller jp morgan institutions bring back kennedys eo 11110

[198madman]

I appreciate Hon. Sen. DeMint grilling Bernake, so why does he oppose Rand Paul in the Kentucky Senate PRIMARY?

[CaliBeach0007]

198madman: Since when has DeMint opposed Rand Paul? The Senate Conservatives Fund (headed by DeMint) commissioned an online poll a few weeks ago that Rand won very handily. I haven't heard one mention of a Trey Greyson endorsement from DeMint. If so, please refer me to it.

[Amy31415]

Because for all this showboating on the Fed, he knows that nothing will change, so it's "safe" to criticize Bernanke and will win a few gullible folks to his side.

He opposes Rand Paul because Rand will just make it more obvious what a real conservative is supposed to look like and make it more obvious that DeMint is a status quo Republican who toes the neocon line.

[iiooioooi]

rate this video..

and repost some where...

and give some good comments...

[spanishaustralian]

DONT FORGET

oil was jacked up wthin 1 yr from $40 to $150 and made to crash to $32 within 2 months as warned by lindsey williams before it even happen.

oil crashed the world

the people who own the banks control oil prices too.

there are few men controlling the economy of the fucking world.

no one ever mentions the oil factor yet is one of the prime reasons why the crash was so severe.

[AngelAsmodeus]

When will people wake up ? If goverment was so worry about jobs , they would not have let everything go over sea . Who put them in power of it all , the people did . Kind of strange how the middle class and poor class sends thier sons and daughters to fight in the war . Sometimes it makes you wonder if the draft was going on , if we would even be in a war . Goverment needs to stop the dog and pony show and do whats right instead of acting all the time.

[allenepope]

Look up comparative advantage.

[sonygvf]

I really have to give credit to Bernanke for answering without getting defensive. I think he's understanding that we're "complaining", if you will, about the system. I think he's maybe becoming aware himself that the system itself is the problem...interesting.

[healthhavencom]

Question by Senator Demint: "Should we really have a Federal Reserve system or should we instead allow the free market to set interest rates, allocate capital and grow the economy?"

Answer according to Bernanke: "Most of the other countries have a central bank; so why shouldn't we make the same mistake as them?"

Conclusion:

Bernanke is unfit for any job of any importance in any country that values freedom and prosperity.

Fire Ben and then ABOLISH the FED.

[LiveFreeOrDieNow]

Great job Senator DeMint. Please keep fighting for the good people of your state and indeed this entire country. The time for this massive fraud by the Federal Reserve is over.

Bernanke said at the end that he is all for transparency. I think the follow up question is then, "So you support S. 604 to Audit the Fed?"

God Bless you for fighting the good fight, sir. There may be hope yet for our children.

[thehausmouse]

Sen DeMint! BRAVO! Keep the fire in your gut, the politeness in your speech, and the brilliant, poignant questioning of all that is government! Thomas Jefferson is my hero, you are quickly climbing the ladder on my hero scale! You will get my vote again next year, and I am glad to be on your team!

[dojochuck]

Where does this great concern for Fed independence come from? It is Congress that is tasked with regulating our money by the Constitution. No mention in there of any federal reserve.

[dchoker000]

That was weak Senator! This guy was one of the gang responsible for our mess and you let him off easy. Thank god for us that at least senator Bunning was there. We already knew the answers Bernanke would give to your questions, your job is to expose his answers as fallacious, using logic and a knowledge of free market economics (Austrian economics)! Bad job, Senator DeMint!

[continuityofliberty]

Very well done Senator DeMint.

Thank you for being so forthright and dedicated; we need more Senators like you!

[mlk8t3]

Bernake looks like he wants to cry towards the end. Love It!!!

[txliberty]

Thank you,Sen. DeMint.

Audit the Fed!

[Dannyboy8155]

Actually, it is conspiracy, but it is not false.

[Dannyboy8155]

From David Rockefeller's own Wikipedia, which you can be sure was written under his supervision

"Rockefeller has also for many years hosted annual luncheons at the family's Westchester County Pocantico estate for the world's finance ministers and central bank governors, following the annual Washington meetings of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund." It is not conspiracy.

[painet1776]

The reason why countries around the world have central banks is because they wanted to copy our system of banking and/or were lobbied into creating them by our very own Federal Reserve.

[dchoker000]

I was wondering if you could site a source for your claim? I would like to read it so I can pass it onto others. Thanks

[painet1776]

There are plenty of sources you can look up if you Google- Central banking history.

Fact remains that within 30 years of establishing the Federal Reserve, over 75% of all developed countries followed suit.

[RoseMarieRaccioppi]

The questions are lucid, the answers are clouded...  call your Senators- sponsor - Audit the Fed (S. 604) in the Senate.

[fortsmith1]

Bernanke can not defend himself. The Fed has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

END THE FED!!!!

[noiwudnttrip]

Bernanke wants to maintain independence in regards to monetary policy? That's a tough sell considering his monetary policy has been running the economy into the ground.

[dragonchampion7]

Don't audit the Fed, BURN IT TO THE GROUND! they destroyed our economy and in their "infinite wisdom" MADE IT EVEN WORSE!

[whitejellyfungus]

Thank you Senator DeMint

[wingnut4427]

So !! When are we going to file a class action against the Global warming hoaxers ?

[collapseofthedollar]

@wingnut4427 hear about those emails they caugh between a few scientist about trying cook the books to make it seem like its getting hotter rather than COLDER- which is what's actually happening. God forbid you find out then they can't push their globalist agenda on you

[wingnut4427]

Indeed ! But what they are depending on you not knowing is the fact that it's the sun that's getting hotter. And they certainly don't want you to know about the poles on other planets melting. I can't wait for the massive uprising from the public as a whole.

[MyFreedomChannel]

I can't believe this creep basically said that he would be willing to turn over the books, and yet hide the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve. I'm sorry, but if he is going to hide the policies of the FED, then he'll hide the books as well. Bernanke needs to go and the FED needs to shut down. We need to go back to the Gold standard .. like maybe the day FDR removed the Gold standard.

[vinny1010]

End to the Federal Reserve

End to the New World Order!!!!

[leecohen7]

Excellent job Senator!! :)

[fubecabr]

Bernanke achieved price stability? ROTFLMAO!!!

Oil going up 700% is stability?

How bout silver/gold going up 400%?

Or houses going up 100%?

Or the dollar collapsing against just about every currency?

Or food going up 100%?

Or health care going up 100%?

On everything people need to survive, prices have gone through the stratosphere in the last 10 years.

[vinny1010]

Look more to Gold than Oil, but I see your point.

Gold is going up even though JP Morgan and Goldman are suppressing its value

[NoBailout4Banksters]

vinny1010,

You may already know the following.

JP Morgan is shorting Gold but they are shorting Silver even more to the tune of 46% of the World's Silver Mining.

The Hunt's Brothers had Long positions on Silver that were 2 to 3 times less what JP Morgan is shorting Silver and they were fined and prosecuted.

Wonder why the CFTC is allowing the banks to get away with shorting Silver so much? They should be prosecuted and fined.

[vinny1010]

I totallly agree man!

Ted Butler said they are getting away with all those short positions bc I think they have a lot of Chinese securities. But that is besides the point bc it's illegal to manipulate markets, even when there is collateral there.

Take this as a blessing I Guess = buy more at a cheaper and just be grateful. These bastards will suffer in the end though, I am sure of it.

[NoBailout4Banksters]

vinny1010,

Yep, Ted Butler is who we are following.

You are right. Now is the time to buy Silver up by the pounds while it is still reasonable. Once this ILLEGAL shorting is stopped Silver will go through the roof.

Also, for your health, we suggest buying a Colloidal Silver Generator before the Pharmaceutical Industry financially backed greenies find a way to make it illegal to buy or create Colloidal Silver. It kills bacteria and viruses.

[vinny1010]

NoBailout4Banksters

Thanks for your comment - yeah, I hate FDA drugs and I take natural remedies often including Collidial Silver. I am so glad that many people are going away from poison based FDA drugs to natural remedies and to truths such as those discussed on this forum!

[Ralyns]

Well done, Senator DeMint!

[BeatsRoyale]

5:59.......Thats a CLASSIC Bernanke face, right there!!!!!!!

[BeatsRoyale]

LOL.....Bernanke sits there like a sad child, wanting mommy!!

[Taikaru]

Rand Paul needs your help in Kentucky! Please help elect another U.S. Senator that will challenge the Fed by taking part in the December 16 money bomb!

Pledge at randsteaparty (.) c o m and spread the word!!

[FirstLandingOnMedusa]

Berskanky didn't do all this.. he's a figurehead, and now he's a scape goat. He is a puppet, just like your president and congress. Not saying he's not scum, he most certainly is. And he does not have a shitty job. He LOVES his job. He has a shitty CHARACTER.

[gsuitter]

Where's Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson when you need them.

Why have a monetary system whose currency looses 3% - 10% value annually when sound currency can appreciate in value.

End the federal reserve bank and restore sound money. How about true dollars not promissory notes for currency?

[FirstLandingOnMedusa]

love to watch this worm squirm.. can't wait for the day that we see him (and his) BURN!

The FED only has ONE duty. The Japanese call it Seppuku!

Nice choice of words here... BERSKANKY: "um, no, but we also have lots of other, um, co-conspirators in that problem." LOL!

[NSResponder]

Major failures is right. The main one being that the Fed is unconstitutional in the first place.

-jcr

[stretch34318]

Bernanke has the shitiest job in the world, everybody hates him

[puppetjaw]

Ya I wonder why...he has continued to debase the currency to it's lowest level ever, under his watch the largest financial crisis happened and real unemployment is reaching 40 year highs. Instability of prices across the asset classes and a real estate bubble which has caused record foreclosures and bank failures...Duh I could have done a better job...fire his ass and Geithners too

[NSResponder]

Bernanke fully deserves the disgust that people have towards him. He's a liar, a thief, and a counterfeiter.

-jcr

[stretch34318]

I'm not supporting what he does, he just does what he is told by his boss and his job is to justify/legitimize to us what they do. It doesn't matter who is in the position, they are not in charge.

[BeatsRoyale]

Lets not forget about Obama, i would like to hear your thoughts on him

[NSResponder]

Obama's an empty suit. He's basically Mitt Romney with a better-sounding script in the teleprompter.

-jcr

[hinsonian]

Hey, Fed. GIVE EVERYONE THEIR MONEY BACK. Thanks.

[glpav]

That was great. At least on the economic issues confronting our nation, I am pleased to say Senator DeMint seems to recognize the key issues. I'm even more pleased to say that he is actually pursuing improvements to help shed light on the actions taken to get us into this economic collapse. I hope to see him pursue these ideas. I wish my own senators were as well-versed. Believe me, they will be hearing from me, because there is no reason ALL senators shouldn't follow in DeMint's footsteps.

[CivilRadiant]

If you want to know the truth behind all this smoke and mirrors you should watch a documentary called,

"The Power of Nightmares"

Available on Google video or torrent.

Did you know that Ron Paul's son, Rand Paul, is running for US Senate in Kentucky? He is currently -ahead- in the latest poll!
