Comment on Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, by B9K9 on Zero Hedge

I disagree; I think Bernancke is a true believer, which is why he was selected for the position. The real players, who are descendants of those who first created the BoE, then the Fed, and many over CBs, know the true score.
After all, from their earliest ages, they are schooled in the simple mathematics of usury & compound interest. Their heritage is one of ultimate predation - to lie in wait until thriving societies (republics) reach the point of exhaustion so that their corrupting influences can have greatest effect.
But that observation is repetitive and well known by any who wish to understand. My interest lies in why people want to believe Bernancke can have any effect. I think the best way to explain this phenomena is to consider the witch doctor: why did/do primitive cultures revere witch doctors?
I think the simple explanation is that people are afraid. In days of yore, a crop failure was a death sentence for the entire country. Since people had nothing to lose, why not put their faith in the rantings of some hocus-pocus spewing mumbo-jumbo? After all, if he was wrong, they were dead anyway.
That's where we're at today - what do we have to lose by letting Ben dick around with monetary policy? After all, once the Fed was created nearly 100 years ago, the American Empire was put on death watch. I mean, it was fait accompli; the only variable was time.
Like a python, once a society relinquishes itself to the soft embrace of the chosen, it's a goner. The tribe never lets go until the victim is dead, then moves on to search for other living, thriving victims. It's been this way for 5-6 thousand years, and I dare say it will continue for at least that long into the future.
After all, how many people read/know of the Founders' warnings regarding foreign banking interests consipriing against the young Republic? 200+ years from now, no one will care to understand what happened when the American Empire finally expired. It will be lost in the annals of time, allowing the vipers to once again spin their webs.
