Ron Paul Speaks And Bernanke Is Forced To Listen (Truth Bomb)
It's from July 21, and I have already covered the adult exchange between Bernanke and Dr. Paul, which took place an hour later in the testimony.
This is 3 minutes of straight truth on debt. It's Ron Paul's opening statement while Bernanke sits and listens. The photo grab of Bernanke was taken a few seconds before Paul began his harangue. He is not smiling for a reason. He knows what's coming. I enjoy the interplay between these 2 actors more than any other players on the so-far 18 month bailout production from hell.
Editor's note: pay attention in the first 5 seconds when Barney Frank announces that there are only 3 minutes left for the Republican side. You can clearly hear Paul snort and make a sarcastic comment to Frank.
This one is a must see and share. Watch

That just about sums it up.
Ah but....
Modern American Capitalism relies on greed. Does Ron Paul really think that these guys are going to sit there and think about what he said.?
Then once they have thought about things, does he believe that they will say to each other "Hey, you know what. I think this Ron Paul guy is right! How should we reduce the debt levels of the people and the government? And find a way to share our (obscenely huge) profits and make the world a better place?"
These guys are not going to let go of power without a fight.
There is a fight on the way.
We've been here for six months waiting for the fight to begin. Though it's difficult to know for sure, it seems as though a greater awareness exists now than in January.
"There's a real chance that there's going to be an uprising about this, and they're going to have trouble controlling the process."
"I expect there's going to be a crashing down of Wall Street's influence. It's just amazing it hasn't happened yet. And it hasn't happened yet because for thirty years their influence has become part of the air we breathe."
