BEN BERNANKE AND ISRAEL
The name of Ben Bernanke, Jewish head of the US Federal Reserve Board, has already come up here, in its ugliest, Antisemitic context. I don't want to make a judgment here about Mr. Bernanke, about the Federal Reserve, about Judaism, about Zionism, about Israel, about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or anything else. I would, however, like to try to understand and explain what is going on.
First of all, let's look at what Mr. Bernanke has been up to. He has been doing a truly earth-shaking job in an earth-shaking institution in an earth-shaking country -- in an increasingly shaking planet earth that Mr. Bernanke, rightly or wrongly, is actually trying to keep from shaking too much:
Printing Our Way Out of Debt

The fiscal cliff is a diversion, designed by politicians to conceal their inability to come to grips with the fact that they continue to spend too much, and refuse to reform a tax structure that reduces the competitiveness of American companies in world markets. No matter what deal is cut, whether before or after the new year, it will at best nibble at the edges of the trillion-dollar annual deficits that are being piled up.

The real action has shifted from America’s inactive politicians to our hyperactive central bankers, the members of the monetary policy committee, who are making Las Vegas high rollers look like risk-averse wimps. And the highest roller of all is bewhiskered former Princeton economics professor who presides over the Federal Reserve Board’s printing presses. Ben Bernanke, the board’s chairman, has an advantage over his Vegas counterparts. He can’t run out of money because he can always print more...
Bernanke is not the only central banker expanding his balance sheet. The Fed will add $1 trillion to its balance sheet next year, and other central banks an additional $10 trillion, leaving the world awash in fiat money. Central bankers are reacting to a long period of recession and slow growth, and in Bernanke’s case to what he calls the “enormous waste of human and economic potential” reflected in the high unemployment rate and the decline in the labor force participation rate.

That's the nugget of it. The bottom line is that Jewish Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, like Jewish Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan before him, is
tasked by Congress with a job that neither he nor anyone in the universe should actually be tasked with: putting the brakes on the economy with one foot, while pressing the other foot firmly down on the gas. Eventually, the brake pads will burn up and the car will go careening off the cliff; but that's not the Fed's concern. The Fed is the chauffer, and the American public are the passengers: passengers continually urging the driver to do exactly what he is doing.
Ben Bernanke is due to retire as Fed Chairman in 2014, and be replaced, most likely, with Janet Yellen. Yes, I will now look up her bio to see if SHE is Jewish:
Janet Louise Yellen (born August 13, 1946) is an American economist and professor, who is currently the Vice Chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Previously, she was President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers under President Bill Clinton, and Professor Emerita at the University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business...
Yellen was born in Brooklyn, New York, daughter of Anna (née Blumenthal) and Julius Yellen, a doctor...
Yellen is Jewish,[9] and is married to George Akerlof, a Nobel prize-winning economist and professor emeritus at the University of California, Berkeley. Her son, Robert Akerlof [10] was a postdoctoral associate in Applied Economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management.[11] He is now an assistant professor at the University of Warwick...

Oy veh! My worst fears have been justified.
Is Janet (or Bernanke or Greenspan, for that matter) part of a "Zionist conspiriacy"? Hardly. In fact, these three HIGHLY brilliant, educated and successful people are the exact ANTITHESIS of Zionism: They are representative of the approximately half of the world's Jews who do NOT live in Israel (hence who are not, in practical terms, "Zionists") because they are so damned successful and comfortable OUTSIDE of Israel.
That's a problem in itself. If all those comfortable Jews were to move to Israel today, in fact, the Arabs would give up and write off an Arab "Palestine" as a complete loss. The big problem is for those comfortable galut (exile) Jews:
They will become suddenly and violently uncomfortable, when the world's economy collapses; and rest assured, it will collapse sooner than anyone would like to think. The exile Jewish community, as in countless centuries up until now, is being groomed for disaster
The disaster I'm talking about, is a world-wide Anti-Jewish nightmare. I pray for God-fearing Jews, that they can see this coming and get out in time. I believe the Exile, especially the United States, is "Babylon" of the Book of Revelation; and as it says,
Rev 18
[
1] And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
[
2] And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
[
3] For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
[
4] And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her,
my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
[
5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
[
6] Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.
[
7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
[
8] Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
[
9] And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,
I believe "my people" here is the Jews.
Does that surprise the Christians here? Maybe I'm wrong -- maybe God is calling the CHRISTIANS "His people". In that case, then perhaps the CHRISTIANS need to get out of America; because this place is destined for God's wrath. I don't think God intends that; especially since we have no place to go in particular. I believe that most of what the world considers "Christendom" is Babylon.
Can anyone see why I am not comfortable with any of this? The truth can be that way, sometimes.
Shalom shalom
