Full video and more at Zerohedge: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made several bizarre, if not shocking, admissions during a prank call with two Russians posing as Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, where they discussed topics ranging from inflation, to the Russian central bank, to joking about having a ‘printing press’ in the basement and possibly setting up a federal reserve bank in Kiev.
The world’s in the very best of hands.
How EVER do they get those private phone numbers?

I don’t know what’s scarier, the federal reserve, or people able to make deep fakes during a Zoom meeting.
Ten words worth remembering.
“You’re not smart enough to tell me how to live.”

Yup…….
Boy, do I miss Kathy!
We are just two wild and crazy guys!

Life imitates art. I think you have to be somewhere around retirement age to get that reference.
Conservative comedy at its finest. Canadian health care ideology always reminds me of their useless Soviet vacuum cleaner.
Your beeeeg American interest rates are like Lea Thomas … too ugly to touch. They make my bulge shrink up like a stack of dimes.
Reminds me of that old joke, the punch line of which is, “No, Sergei, the potato goes in the front of the Speedo!”.
The call is coming from inside the house…
There’s more than a few instances of these pranks happening on Zoom calls. The pranksters have some sort of engine that mimics not only the person’s voice but their face as well. Truly scary stuff.
Clown world! The real joke is not on Powell. It’s harder & longer for small businesses and farmers.
Fed raises rates to take heat off the job market as Biden spends another $3 trillion on green scams and ramps up weapons production to a new high. “Investors” can’t see thru the Ponzi that passes for sacred mysteries practised by those initiated in the arts of high finance.
