Zero Hedge: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell made several bizarre, if not shocking, admissions during a prank call with two Russians posing as Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, where they discussed topics ranging from inflation, to the Russian central bank, to joking about having a ‘printing press’ in the basement and possibly setting up a federal reserve bank in Kiev.
More interesting was Powell’s admission, thinking he was speaking with Zelensky, during the call (which reportedly took place in January) that the Fed would hike rates two more times – a topic on which he has been far more circumspect even when giving testimony before Congress.
“The market is already pricing in two more quarter percentage point rate hikes. We’ll look around after we make those two and we’ll say should we do any more, and then the question will be how long do we keep rates at this level – and I think we’ll keep them there for quite some time,” said Powell, roughly two minutes into the clip below.

Put him in front of congress and he clams up like Al Capone. If he thinks he’s talking to an international corrupticrat theres nothing that can’t be said. TRAITOROUS BASTARDS need to hang from lampposts!

It’s almost as if these pucking foliticians say, “Get me Vladimir and Alexei on Line 1… I need to do a deniable limited hangout.” Makes you wonder sometimes who’s fooling whom.
Yeah, I’m a bit of a paranoiac these days, but they made me that way.
