Fed's Yellen says 'makes sense' to gradually raise interest rates

What a puppet show is this Fed pantomime. The head puppeteer has spoke...look out world!! The banal arrogance of this unelected "ruling class" mob is as absurd as it is breathtaking; for this collective to think that they control interest rates...or anything for that matter...is a supreme illusion. Central banks don't set interest rates; the MARKET sets interest rates; the CB's have no choice but to follow...look at the IR charts. They are masters of disruption to the natural cycles of life and business: But it is hard to say whether it has been a deliberate ploy since 1913 or just an unfortunate accident perpetrated by misguided incompetents (that's plural). The world can only hope that legislative decision makers continue to be disillusioned to the point of abandoning this disastrous experiment in social manipulation.

MANIPULATION!!!

I like your comments!

"With the U.S. economy close to full employment and inflation headed toward the Federal Reserve's 2 percent goal, it "makes sense" for the U.S. central bank to gradually lift interest rates, Fed Chair Janet Yellen said on Wednesday."

- first of all, the FED is a private banking cartel working for profit with their own currency;

- "close to full employment" is so misleading, and no shame when destroying US economy.

- Saying so many times that it "makes sense" to gradually lift interest rates is just to attract and keep investors buying her fake currency.

Please refer to my many post on how these news events DO NOT MOVE MARKETS
And everyone with a brain has been saying raise rates for a decade, how is this news?

The Private for profit shadowy audit exempt reserve raised short-term rates (should have done a decade ago) last month for only the second time since the 2007-2009 financial crisis, when it slashed rates to near zero and began printing billions, spending it with their cronies weapons and equipment companies and sapped the life out of public spending. They stole 60% of the budget for a decade and had an illegal war orgy and turned America into a fema camp, in case enough people wake up. All the money they print every month owed back at interest by current and future debt slaves. Instead of raising rates to begin with for a healthy recovery, they've just sold out the world even further down the river. And ten years later they say "Raising rates is a good idea." Yeah about ten years ago before your group sold the world down the river. So the private foreign for profit pretty paper manufacturer set the interest rates that our banks are ruled by aye. This company sells paper, that we are paid with for our hard work. They take pieces of your time, that you will never be paid enough for. They turn it into paper and then rob the value of it with inflation and printing. All the value of our effort gets robbed and given to private interest groups at the top.

Her master democate had lost..

So she can raise rate without worrying that it will affect stock market melt down..

Scheming indeed..

Gimmick!!
