If this wasn't so serious, it would be funny.

But it is serious.

And it's not funny.

Beyond the bald lies to the people, there's the lies to Congress,
which is commonly called "Perjury."

Four minutes.

In your face.

Confidence?

Where?

The average attention span of The United States "consumer" -
we're all out of CITIZENS and have been for fifty years - does not exceed
the run time of "Dancing With The Stars."

Better wake up America.... and soon.

Priceless. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So I
did both.

Can't someone indict Bernanke? Please?

Wow, BenBernank must be getting pretty close to under
the bus, if such a prominent organ of the left is doing this.. It would be
nice to see some Obama debating Obama though, especially Obama with
prompter vs Obama without ..

What kind of quality control department does the US
mint have that it has to destroy over a billion bills of currency? Are
they really going to burn this money, or just say they did?

YES.

They are going to Burn the Money.
This
Newly Printed Cash would be about 10% of the US Currency in existence; and
presently the plan is to pay People to spend a year going through it all
-and then Incinerate the 'defective' Bills.
Manufacture of the Bills
cost some $120M.

In the meantime the old style Bills with Henry
Paulson's Signature on them will be pressed from the old plates.

Why does it take a comedian to connect the dots? Where
is the mainstream media on this issue? Where is the Bob Woodward and Carl
Bernstien of our generation?

Disgusting. I bet Ron Paul is jumping

One does not become virginal through constant screwing,
corruption and lying. Peace is not accomplished via the sword, violence,
or manipulation. The vision only happens NOW because you are spiritually
prepared and have made the internal transformation yourself -- or never at
all. Try honesty sometime, Karl, if you really believe in a better world.
Perhaps the biggest change needs to happen with those in charge, and with
those who have been given a voice in the chaos. The first step begins with
you. Be the living example, or your vision is entirely for
nothing.

industrialized civilizations collapse?

principal organiser of Earth First!

"The common enemy of humanity is man.
In searching for a new
enemy to unite us, we came up
with the idea that pollution, the threat
of global warming,
water shortages, famine and the like would fit the
bill. All these
dangers are caused by human intervention, and it is
only through
changed attitudes and behavior that they can be
overcome.
The real enemy then, is humanity itself."

The main
stream media will not be featured in tonights show, because they still
gets a warm tingling sensation when The Obama speaks, so they will not be
participating in anything detrimental to his
administration.

Playing the part of the media for the foreseeable
future are bloggers and comedians.

It would be great if the world was
that simple.

If you're out walking through the savanna and get
attacked by a tiger the only way to obtain "peace" is to kill or drive off
the tiger with violence (or let it eat you). It's also possible to use
violence to provoke an animal into to attacking you that otherwise would
have ignored you. Pacifists only see the second case and try to pretend
the first case doesn't exist.

Your words are true.
However, people are not animals. Animals are not capable of self-awareness
that allows them to transcend their existence and live a spiritual life.
People are capable of acting like animals, but to assume all or most of
mankind falls into this category is to fail to see the abundance of love
in society, all around us.

Lasting peace will never happen through
manipulation and violence, for the law of karma applies to everything. Do
not enter the path of peace by first raising the sword.

In what way have I been
dishonest? Be specific, and be cautious - a dishonest attempt to
manipulate on your part will be responded to with a complete removal of
your ability to access the system here. I do not take to people running
lies well, especially when they attempt to claim I've been dishonest via
lies.

Virginity, once lost,
cannot be regained. Your premise is a lie.

Quote:

spiritually prepared and have made the internal transformation yourself
-- or never at all.

Oh really?

An entity, no
matter what part of the animal kingdom it is a member of, that has decided
to resort to violence or manipulation has by it's actions lost any
argument it had ever possessed for others to treat it with respect,
deference or fairness.

An example is an enraged Grizzly Bear. Your
options in dealing with such an animal are to outrun it if you can, be
killed by it, or kill it. If you are unable to outrun it, and if you're a
human without mechanical assistance you are unable, then you are reduced
to two options. If you lack weapon(s) sufficient to the task then you have
no options and death will be the result.

Entities that have taken
upon themselves the characteristics of such an animal leave one with the
above three options: withdraw if one can to where the entity cannot harm
you, submit and accept whatever is to come, including your physical death,
or kill that which seeks to do you harm before it can inflict that harm
upon you.

Philosophical sophistry and bull**** are great concepts
behind a keyboard, but for our foreign friend here who seeks to lecture us
I find your hypocrisy both outrageous and, if you continue it, I will out
you at the same time I ban you.

Tread carefully, Mr. Mendacious
Provateur.

I can
choose be self aware and not act like an animal but I can't make that
choice for anyone else. People who don't defend themselves from others who
have chosen to live like predatory animals simply encourage them to
continue their pillaging and convince others who would otherwise be too
afraid of retaliation to join in as well.

My "kids" watch The Daily Show frequently and almost
consider it a source of news. It is hard for me to stand Jon Stewart, but
he is doing a service with that little spoof of Bernanke and the Fed.
Hopefully more people will awaken.
