Hey...guess who is on the Board of the BIS? ( who is running the world)
And if you do not know who/what the BIS is, you need to.
It sits up there in Basel Switzerland, kinda quiet like, hiding behind the more publicized IMF and World Bank.

Suddenly in the last couple years it has taken front and center in "managing the global crisis".

And one of the things it did was to oversee the European Bank stress tests.
Which were rigged.
Just like the USA stress tests.

So, back to who is on the board on the BIS, the banking consortium which is essentially running the world's economy
and creating the world's debt, not to mention the depression.

Why, it's Ben Bernanke.
NOW do you see why the Bush WH and the Obama WH have not fired him?
and notice the other board members....and the countries they represent.

Board of Directors

Christian Noyer, Paris (Chairman of the Board of Directors)

Hans Tietmeyer, Frankfurt am Main (Vice-Chairman)

Ben S Bernanke, Washington, DC;
Mark Carney, Ottawa; Mario Draghi, Rome; William C Dudley, New York; Philipp Hildebrand, Zürich; Stefan Ingves, Stockholm; Mervyn King, London; Jean-Pierre Landau, Paris; Henrique de Campos Meirelles, Brasilia; Guy Quaden, Brussels; Fabrizio Saccomanni, Rome; Masaaki Shirakawa, Tokyo; Jean-Claude Trichet, Frankfurt am Main; Paul Tucker, London; Axel Weber, Frankfurt am Main; Nout H E M Wellink, Amsterdam; Zhou Xiaochuan, Beijing

1. Bernanke sits on the board by statute.
From the board's statutes:

The Board shall be composed as follows:
(1) The Governors for the time being of the central banks of
Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and the United
States of America (hereinafter referred to as ex-officio
Directors).
Any ex-officio Director may appoint one person as his
alternate who shall be entitled to attend and exercise the
powers of a Director at meetings of the Board if the Governor
himself is unable to be present.
