One bank. Controlled by 17 bankers. Has just taken down the US stock markets with one statement.

I agree with the insanity part of what you're saying, but what are you talking about in the bolded part of your post? I don't read the news and don't follow what the fed is doing. Did they announce a new round of QE? All of the stocks I own are actually up quite a bit today, and the stock market is up, marginally.

A lot of people are indeed sheep, and I probably qualify as one of those. As long as disaster hasn't hit yet, most of the population will feel comfortable--but yeah....all this money printing is absolutely ridiculous, and I'm not sure our leaders have an exit strategy for this, or if they do it's probably something very sinister.

The minute I posted that the US markets had gone from over 1% green to deep red with just one statement from the FED.

The FED controls the markets. There is no real capitalism, it's a FEuDal system.
