Is it by coincidence that both fed chairmen Greenspan and Bernake are from jewish-origin families?

You know, you have a lot of balls asking this question, unless you are a girl, then you have a lot of something else.\n\nIt is by no means a coincidence that these men are of Jewish decent, and what you heard IS right, not only is the US political economy controlled by the Jewish community, so is our foreign policy.\n\nNow, before everybody explodes and starts calling me a fascist Jew basher, I am absolutely NOT. Read my previous posts and you will see that I prefer to bash Christians.\n\nAnyway, in our political system it (unfortunately) has become normal for those in charge of the financial market (meaning those with hugely big bucks) to control policy by financing politicians' campaigns in return for favorable votes on certain issues. The money just happens to be in the hands of the Jews. If it were, say, the Mormons who had all the Big Money, then THEY would be getting their way.\n\nBut the past few generations have been conditioned to feel so much pity for the Jews because of Hitler's regime, (and for the most part, rightly so), it has become horribly politically IN-correct to even slightly criticize anything Jewish.\n\nOne good example of what I am talking about is Israel. WHY in the WORLD is our government so insanely preoccupied with a dry, barren country that has absolutely nothing to add to our economy? It can't be "because it is the right thing to do." In that case we should be doing the "right thing" in Africa and stopping the genocide there. I personally believe that our politicians are being put under pressure to maintain a pro-Israel foreign policy just to please the Jews who bought their office for them.\n\nP.S. They do breed some REALLY COOL Koi's in Israel. For those of you who dont know what Koi are, look it up, they are beautiful fish.\n\nP.P.S. I KNOW that Koi originate from Japan. But they are also bred in Israel.

Ben Shalom Bernanke - Alan Greenspan's successor.  If he so much as sneezes the entire country will stop to listen.  After all, money talks and who else controls all the money in the country other than the Chairman of the Federal Reserve?

Probably no other sane person.\nAIPAC controls the USA's money. Thats a fact.\n\n "The Israelis control the policy in the congress and the senate."\n\n-- Senator Fullbright, Chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee:  10/07/1973 on CBS' "Face the Nation". \n\n\n\n "I am aware how almost impossible it is in this country to carry out a foreign policy [in the Middle East] not approved by the Jews..... terrific control the Jews have over the news media and the barrage the Jews have built up on congressmen .... I am very much concerned over the fact that the Jewish influence here is completely dominating the scene and making it almost impossible to get congress to do anything they don't approve of. The Israeli embassy is practically dictating to the congress through influential Jewish people in the country"  \n\n-----Sec. of State John Foster Dulles  quoted on p.99 of Fallen Pillars by Donald Neff \n\n\n\nPeres  warned Sharon that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us.  "Sharon reportedly yelled at Peres, saying "don't worry about American pressure, we the Jewish people control America."

He will be 80 this March:\n\nThe Honorable Alan C. Greenspan, PhD, KBE (b. March 6, 1926) is an American economist and former Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United States. Following his retirement as Fed chairman, he accepted an honorary (unpaid) position at the U.K. Treasury.\n\nFirst appointed Fed chairman by President Ronald Reagan in 1987, he has been reappointed at successive four-year intervals ever since, and retired on January 31, 2006, relinquishing the chairmanship to Ben Bernanke at that time. Greenspan was lauded for his handling of the Black Monday stock market crash that occurred very shortly after he first became chairman, as well as for his stewardship of the Internet-driven, "dot-com" economic boom of the 1990s (although it culminated in a stock market bubble burst in March 2000). He has been increasingly criticized since 2001 for some statements seen as overstepping the Fed's traditional purview of monetary policy, and others viewed as overly supportive of the policies of President George W. Bush. Greenspan is nonetheless still considered by many to be the leading authority on American domestic economic and monetary policy.\n\nDr. Greenspan was born to a Jewish family in New York City. He studied clarinet at Juilliard from 1943 to 1944 and is known as an accomplished saxophone player. He then attended New York University (NYU), and received a B.S in Economics (summa cum laude) in 1948, and an M.A in Economics in 1950. Much later, in 1977, NYU also awarded him a Ph.D. in Economics. He did not complete a dissertation, normally required for that degree. On December 14, 2005 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Commercial Science from NYU, his fourth degree from that institution.

Becker is actually of German descent. It is a very common last name among both Jews and non Jews alike. However, you are right. Boris Becker is Jewish

thats funny. but the truth of the matter is that jews are decended of the Isralites that lived in biblical israel over 2000 years ago and the father of both jews and most arabs is the Abraham of the bible. Both are refered to as semitic peoples. they are from the area but they are two compleatly different peoples.

Bernard M. Baruch (1870–1965) \n\n  Bernard M. Baruch, the "Park Bench Statesman," made his fortune on Wall Street, but his greatest challenge and his greatest satisfaction were his service to his country as an economic adviser during both World Wars I and II and as a confidante to six presidents.    \n  \n  Bernard Mannes Baruch was born August 19, 1870, in Camden, the son of Simon and Isabelle Wolfe Baruch. His father was a German immigrant who came to America in 1855 to avoid Prussian conscription. He was 15 years old and knew only one person in America, Mannes Baum, the owner of a general store in Camden, who was married to an aunt of Baruch's mother.    \n  \n  Young Simon Baruch worked for Baum as a bookkeeper and, with Baum's help, taught himself English. Mrs. Baum persuaded her husband to send Simon to South Carolina Medical College and the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond.  \nHe became a renowned surgeon chief on Robert E. Lee's staff during the Civil War. It was Mannes Baum who gave Simon the uniform and sword he wore when he joined the Third Battalion, South Carolina Infantry, in 1862. \n     \n  Bernard's mother, Isabelle, was the daughter of Sailing Wolfe, a young merchant and planter of Winnsboro, and Sara Cohen, daughter of Rabbi Hartwig Cohen of Charleston. Baruch's family moved to New York when he was about 10 years old. While his remarkable accomplishments came in New York, Washington, and abroad, his roots were always in South Carolina. Seventy years after he went to New York, he still had not relinquished a trace of his Southern accent.    \n  \n  Baruch graduated from City College of New York in 1889, and his first job was as an office boy earning $3 a week. He ran errands in the banking and financial district and became enamored of the potential Wall Street held.    \n  \n  He became a runner for a brokerage house and invested all his effort and time in learning the business, eventually becoming a broker and then a partner in the firm of A. A. Housman and Company. His earnings and commissions afforded him the opportunity to buy a seat on the New York Stock Exchange, and by the time he was 30 years old, he had become a millionaire.    \n  \n  Baruch left Housman to open Baruch Brothers, in partnership with one of his brothers, Hartwig "Harty" Baruch. In succeeding years he lost his fortune and made it back several times. \nIn 1907, he and Harty bought H. Hentz and Company, an international commodity firm with offices on Wall Street and in Paris, London, Berlin, and other cities. By 1910, Bernard Baruch had become one of Wall Street's financial leaders. \n    \n  When Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president and war was looming, he called on Baruch for advice because of the latter's understanding of the nation's economy and industrial resources.  \nBaruch was chairman of the War Industries Board, which controlled the industrial establishment of the country for three years. With the end of the war imminent, he helped President Wilson negotiate the peace agreements in Paris.  \n\nWhen Baruch joined Woodrow Wilson's War Industries Board, he had left H. Hentz and Company to speculate on his own. His two other brothers, Sailing and Herman, joined H. Hentz and Company as managing partners. Herman Baruch, a doctor and banker, later became ambassador to Portugal and Holland.  \n\nAfter World War I, Baruch continued as an adviser to Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, Roosevelt, and Truman. \n     \n  He often conferred with officials on a bench in Washington's Lafayette Park because of the privacy and relaxed atmosphere. Thus, he became known as the "Park Bench Statesman."  \nIn 1905, he had bought Hobcaw Barony, a 17,000-acre plantation about three miles by water from Georgetown in South Carolina. It originally was part of the barony granted Lord Carteret by King George II. Baruch would permit no telephone lines to be strung to Hobcaw.

I don't think so, but they do have the "advantage" of all being of one common heritage.  There is an intrinsic common bond that transcends place of birth.  They are all Jewish and they have the commonality of having suffered for their religion, but they can disagree with each other just like any other group.  But again, in the end, they are all Jews.  Makes it a lot easier to convince everyone when you have that common bond.
