For those watching Janet Yellen's speech this evening, the fact that she seemed to struggle towards the end of her speech was a surprise. Now we know why...

**FED'S YELLEN GETTING MEDICAL ATTENTION AFTER SPEECH -REUTERS It is hardly surprising given that she now carries the weight of the world's economic and market strength on her shoulders.

As MarketWatch's Greg Robb noted, Yellen faltered at end of her speech. Last page was agonizing. I don't think she felt well but she seemed better when she left the stage.

Bloomberg reports, Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is resuming her planned schedule after feeling unwell toward the end of a speech she was giving Thursday at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, Fed spokeswoman Michelle Smith said in an e-mailed statement.

She was almost coughing up body parts. Apparently no one in the audience was slick enough to figure out the woman was having issues.


Those ruthless bankster bastards don’t give a tinker’s dam.

Only if Ted Cruz, or anyone else for that matter, can wave a magic wand and make it happen. It’s too far gone. No man alive can fix this.


Ted does not HAVE to FIX IT ALL..... silly..
He merely has to give the Executive Branch an ENEMA...
Start cutting it down with Bush HOG..

Will send slivers of cold harbingers up all democrats and most RINOS legs to their shorts.

Send beautiful vibes to the States and local authorities.. for path to intelligent governing..

AND the cherry on top will be Justice Department that actually WORKS with a revitalized FBI and CIA and NSA.. ) providing cases of (sedition and outright treason) and the very real threat of the FAIR TAX.. will have IRS agents whistling by the graveyard.. trying to busy.. for fear of indictment of them..

Washington D.C. will be all a dither.. and thats only the first few weeks..
AND CONGRESS CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT IT..

I certainly like your thinking.

I’d do any thing I could to help get it done.

LOL.

Like all Keynesians, she hasn't got the slightest idea what she's doing.

Unlike most Keynesians, her position has allowed her to discern that she and her "economic philosophy" are frauds.

Uh oh.

THEN: Cruz gets sown to real work.. investigating Congress..
for the outright treason THAT THEY will get away with...

Boehner, McConnell, Obama and the Obamanoids.. even a few Supremes can get “OUTTED”.. These people THINK they are passed Indictment.. and they would be IF the liberals continued..

Cruz don’t “play that”... JUSTICE STARTs at the Top of the House of Cards.. once they have been gone over THEN on down the line.. WITH the treasonous bastards giving each other UP.. could years to clean up this mess.. With BIG NAMES going to the SLAMMER.. political careers wrecked..

I have good running up my leg just thinking about it..
OH!.. then the “journalists” in league with the vipers..
Journalists would falling all over themselves to appear “conservative”.. The laughter at Free Republic would pleasant and jokes, the jokes.. feelings of well being... had by all..

[There is now nothing the Fed can do to avoid an economic catastrophe... I’m sure she knows this and is wringing her hands over it.]

I agree - they cannot move with raising rates. And they know it.

[I agree that the Rats don’t want the White House in 2017.]

I don’t think the GOPe does either. Evidence: Jebby “traitor” Bush.

[she didn’t want to read what THEY are telling her to read...]

That’s what I thought, too. She was about to collapse from the “positive job growth” nonsense (paraphrased) in the discourse. With the standard “if we get surprised” at the end.

It was obvious that she was in trouble. That none of them came to her aid is telling. The only concern that was shown was at the very end.

Well, they are both basically the same.

I’ve said for some time that the Rats don’t want to win in 2016.

The collapse may well come before Bammy leaves office. It certainly will no later than the next Presidency.

I fear the nation’s fate is sealed, economically. That usually means war of some sort. Worrisome, to say the least.

Nonetheless, I try to help friends prep before then and for me. But with no finances there is little I can do myself. Should have a little cash coming but not a big amount.

I would never have believed it in the 1990’s. Many are still under the normalcy bias (oh, sure things are a little tougher) but they haven’t felt the full impact of this thing. I know there are other FReepers who took the hard hit, because they’ve told me so, over the years, usually in FReepmail.

That was truly disturbing. She vomited and then swallowed it! And no one stepped in to help her? Do none of these people have souls?
