it's called rhetoric, it's all meaningless babble to distract the sheeple from what is actually happening. it's called rhetoric. ..................................... Rhetoric is the art of using language to persuade. It normally follows three methods of logos, pathos, and ethos, as well as the five canons of memory, invention, delivery, style, and arrangement. Along with grammar and logic or dialectic, rhetoric is one of the three ancient arts of discourse. From ancient Greece to the late 19th Century, it was a central part of Western education, filling the need to train public speakers and writers to move audiences to action with arguments.[1] The very act of defining has itself been a central part of rhetoric, appearing among Aristotle's Topics.[2] The word is derived from the Greek ??t?????? (rhetorikós), "oratorical",[3] from ??t?? (rh?tor), "public speaker",[4] related to ??µa (rhêma), "that which is said or spoken, word, saying",[5] and ultimately derived from the verb ??? (erô), "to speak, say".[6] In its broadest sense, rhetoric concerns human discourse.[7][8] Contemporary studies of rhetoric address a more diverse range of domains than was the case in ancient times. While classical rhetoric trained speakers to be effective persuaders in public forums and institutions like courtrooms and assemblies, contemporary rhetoric investigates human discourse writ large. Rhetoricians have studied the discourses of a wide variety of domains, including the natural and social sciences, fine art, religion, journalism, fiction, history, cartography, and architecture, along with the more traditional domains of politics and the law.[9] Public relations, lobbying, law, marketing, professional and technical writing, and advertising are modern professions that employ rhetorical practitioners.

>>On the other hand....he's a banker buddy and money printer who only knows bubbles and busts, and can't see anything coming.<< i don't believe this to be true! i can't emphasize this enough. an average 5th grader could tell this wasn't sustainable... market-ticker.denninger.net this is the fed's own data! the only conclusion is that greenspan and bernanke lied to cover up what THEY INTENTIONALLY DID - set up the a debt based WMD on the american people. these people aren't stupid - THEY ARE CRIMINAL! we need to wake the efff up and treat these people as they are. >>WTF is he up to?<< he's benefitting his employers at the grave expense of everyone else. ON PURPOSE. >>Mr. "I will never allow deflation" Has he all of a sudden gained a conscience?<< no, he lies to manipulate markets. a market that has no fear of deflation will inflate all the more. that means the debt based WMD will be all the more dangerous when it blows. >>Is peak oil stopping him from doing what he wants? Like in 2007 and 08?<< why would he want to print when his employers own a TON OF FRESHLY MINTED DOLLARS? if i was pure evil and flush with cash and wanted maximize my wealth, I'D CRASH THE ECONOMY AS HARD AS I POSSIBLY COULD so i could asset strip americans at literal pennies on the dollar. when i own almost everything, i become dictator. >>It's not what they say....it's what they do.<< yes, they lie a lot. while bernanke is saying what i expected him to eventually say, now that he's said it i have to re-evaluate as he lies about almost everything. i have to consider this could be a trap. if nothing else, interest rates dropped and he bought more time time to borrow at lower interest rates. >>If he was serious....he would raise rates immediately. IMHO.<< how does that benefit his banker employers? remember, that's all he really considers in that sociopathic head of his.
