OffTheGridNews Roasts Turkeys for 2010, George W. Bush and Ben Bernanke Honorary Meal

     

Former President George W. Bush and current Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke were designated as the 2010 turkeys most worth of being roasted.

In an interview podcast hosted by OffTheGridRadio and posted on OffTheGridNews.com former President George W. Bush and current Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Ben Bernanke were designated as the 2010 turkeys most worth of being roasted.

Handing out the honors was Gerald Celente of TrendsResearch.com, illustrating the deception and incompetence practiced by Bush and Bernanke that earned them their spot in the roaster.

It didn’t take long for Celente to support his choices, dedicating the first eight minutes of the interview with Bill Heid to the man he calls the “deceiver in chief,” George W. Bush. Celente shows nothing but disdain for the former president, attacking his recent book tour as nothing more than a reminder of how bad things had become.

Still on the plate for Celente is Bush’s reasoning behind the war in Iraq, more specifically the claim by the president that Saddam Hussein was hiding weapons of mass destruction. It Bush now acknowledging that the WMDs didn’t exist Celente has called for justice, demanding to know why there are no hearings, commissions or something resembling the famed Nuremberg trials.

The willful deception on the part of Bush triggered Celente’s wrath as he pounced on a track record of lies and a “political propaganda campaign” that has led to the deaths of more than 5,000 American troops in Iraq.

Celente said that after eight years of Bush a man like Mussolini could have won office. Of course Celente then stated that in fact the country has a different fascist in the White House now, a man he called “Bush 2,” Barack Obama. The current President earned that title for his surge in Afghanistan and the 50,000 “advisors” that are still stationed in Iraq.

While Bush was being basted and seasoned for his deception turkey number two, Ben Bernanke, was being deep fried for his incompetence and according to Celente it was his incompetence that has kept him in his position.

Recalling events that dated back to 2005 in which Bernanke, affectionately called “Uncle Ben” by Celente, scoffed at the prospect the country would ever face a national real estate crisis only to see two years later a monumental collapse that we are still trying to dig our way out of. Celente even recalls a comment Bernanke made to Congress just months before that 2007 collapse in which he stated “there’s not much indication at this point that sub-prime mortgage issues have spread into the broader mortgage market which still seems to be healthy.”

Celente insists that these comments are made due to incompetence and because Bernanke is part of the “white shoe club,” an elitist group that consists of individuals who have never worked a day on their life, there is absolutely no consequence to the mind-numbingly bad decisions that he makes. As a matter of fact, Bernanke is actually rewarded for his “calm and wisdom, bold action, and out of the box thinking” that, Obama says, has steered us through the financial collapse.

The full interview is now available on OffTheGridNews.com and while the two men roasted are worthy of Celente’s contempt the interview is light-hearted enough to bring a smile to your face as the turkeys are being cooked.
