As always, whenever someone of elite political status, in this case the Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, finds themselves in hot water, a
convenient cover story comes along to shadow them. Immediately following this front page story, just as it was getting some legs under it, is the
breaking news of pop star Michael Jackson's untimely death. Virtually guarantying the Bernanke story an immediate backseat in the headlines is more
than convenient to the Fed chairs cause.
Michael Jackson Dies

We've just learned Michael Jackson has died. He was 50. Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and
paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.
A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived. A cardiologist at UCLA tells TMZ Jackson died of cardiac arrest.
Once at the hospital, the staff tried to resuscitate him but he was completely unresponsive.
A source inside the hospital told us there was "absolute chaos" after Jackson arrrived. People who were with the singer were screaming, "You've
got to save him! You've got to save him!"
As headlines rushed in lately concerning Bernanke's role in the Bank of America purchase of troubled giant Merrill Lynch. The Fed chairman is facing
accusations that he may have pressured BofA into this deal that ultimately cost taxpayers $20 billion.
Bernanke: I didn’t bully BofA to buy Merrill Fed chief disputes bank CEO Lewis' claim that he was pressured into deal

WASHINGTON - Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke faced an unusual political trial Thursday and disputed accusations that he pressured Bank of
America to acquire Merrill Lynch in a deal that cost taxpayers $20 billion.
Bernanke denied to a House committee investigating the matter that he threatened action against Bank of America’s CEO Kenneth Lewis or the bank’s
board members if they abandoned the takeover.
It marked Bernanke’s first public comments since the House committee launched an investigation this year into whether he or other government
officials bullied Bank of America to stick with its plan to combine the two financial powers after Lewis learned of Merrill’s financial
woes.
An example to evidence my statement is this similar theory relating it to SC Governor Mark Sanford.
Michael Jackson's Death Lets Mark Sanford Off The Hook

Pop star Michael Jackson has died today, effectively letting embattled South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford "off the hook."
Because Jackson's shocking death has pushed Sanford off the front page, and Americans only remember the "last thing that happened," Sanford is free
to resume his 2012 bid for the White House, and continue to f**k his Argentinian girlfriend.
The Sanford story above is, in my opinion, far less important in relation to the Bernanke scandal. However, it makes no difference seeing as they both
will receive far less attention now that Jackson's death will reign for days, if not weeks.
Whenever there is growing concern of wrongdoing involving one of these elite players, you can be assured that a bigger event is coming along to shadow
it. In the weeks preceding 911, multiple stories of corruption and murder were eventually pushed aside after this event. Namely the $ trillions
unaccounted for by the Department of Defense, and the suspected involvement of congressman Gary Condit in the disappearance of Chandra Levy. These
were front page stories that virtually disappeared from the headlines in post 911 media coverage.
This is something that should be carefully monitored? Breaking news overshadowing previous events may be more than convenient, it may be manufactured?
Either way there is, at the very least, an obvious problem. Losing interest in stories such as the DOD and Chandra Levy is unacceptable! This was once
the media's protocol, but lately their oversight is non existent? Until there is public demand for real journalism, this oversight is left to us. It
is in our best interest to do so!
Peace.
