Federal Reserve Initiates End Game As Trump Heads To White House
Zero Hedge ^ | 12-22-2016 | Tyler Durden

For years, alternative economic analysts have been warning that the “miraculous” rise in U.S. stock markets has been the symptom of wider central bank intervention and that this will result in dire future consequences. We have heard endless lies and rationalizations as to why this could not be so, and why the U.S. “recovery” is real. At the beginning of 2016, the former head of the Dallas branch of the Federal Reserve crushed all the skeptics and vindicated our position in an interview with CNBC where he stated

It is a false economy, or pie in the sky as you put it. It's created and run by the central banks of the world that are able to create money out of thin air. A good book to read if you want to get up to date on how their pie-in-the-sky economy works is The Creature From Jekyll Island

Here is the issue — stocks are a mostly meaningless factor when considering the economic health of a nation. Equities are a casino based on nothing but the luck of the draw when it comes to news headlines, central banker statements and algorithmic computers. Today, as Fischer openly admitted, stocks are a purely manipulated indicator representing nothing but the amount of stimulus central banks are willing to pour into them through various channels.<\i>

And the most frightening and amazing thing is that 401(k)s, IRAs, and millions of people's retirements are hinged on this casino called the stock market.

And what is the reason retirements are hinged on this casino called the stock market?

Government coercion based on tax "incentives." If it weren't for the Gestapo, I mean IRS, 90% of the people would never have a 401k, and all those poor bankers and brokers would be out of jobs.

I got 25 % percent return over time, less 30% capital gains, less 20+% of gross in fees, and a net loss of 30-50% for inflation over the period. Awesome, dude!

It’s complicated.

Fed chairmen should be seen and not heard.

I opined to my son yesterday that we have been living under oppression an a near continuous state of war for three decades.

The game has been set in favor of the oligarchs.

There is not one banana that is not rotten...Trump came at just the right time.

I hope he has. I have re-learned the lesson many times, sometimes the bad guys get the treasure, get the girl and ride off into the sunset.

Very true.

The banks not only have a powerful lobby, they basically operate as a "Shadow Government" today - not only in the US but all over the world.

And they have used every law, scheme, and coercion they could dream up to get people to contribute Trillions into the markets.

And now that millions of baby boomers are cashing in - it might just be time to crash the markets. And it is all manipulated, no matter what anyone tells you.

The Plunge Protection Teams (PPTs) are not conspiracy, they are a reality. In the same way, there are plans to crash the markets.....at the right time.

Obama had an unlimited credit card with zero interest. He did what most ghetto types do, he went shopping with no concern for paying his bills. Now that he has been evicted he expects others to clean up his mess. And of course, has nothing to show for his foolish spending spree.

Well said.

My wife and I skipped it in the theaters because we thought it would be a liberal perspective. When we finally decided to catch it, we were amazed at how well everything was described. It is a sort of “farce” movie, but the truth is that the situation was a farce.

Same with that movie about ADM, “The Informant.” I can't stand Matt Damon, but the movie was a spot-on farce, for a reason.

“The banks not only have a powerful lobby, they basically operate as a “Shadow Government” today - not only in the US but all over the world.”

I have frequently used the term “Shadow Government” too, but I’m starting to think that something along the lines of “The Hidden REAL Government” may be more appropriate and informative since so many (most?) of our Uniparty ‘elected government’ bends over and takes their orders from them.

“Obama had an unlimited credit card with zero interest...”

The God hating, drug addicted, sodomite creation known as “Obama” was definitely responsible for all his and Mooch’s lavish vacations and such, which comes to a sizeable chunk of change when all added up, but he was, still is, and never will be anything more than a puppet to forces far greater than himself. He’s nothing more than a trained lackey, created to keep an ignorant populace’s attention focused on a destructive, emotional, diversionary path (squirrel!) while the “Hidden REAL Government” patiently and meticulously implements their long term agenda of a global power structure by forcing the nation into unsustainable debt.

Each President or Member of Congress that has tried to take on the Federal Reserve has either been assassinated, disappeared or suddenly, inexplicably retired.

SIX Presidents were assassinated or died under mysterious circumstances. Those SIX tried to get us out from under the thumb of the FED RES and back to a GOLD STANDARD.

The Federal Reserve gave obama 8 years of zero interest rates and $5 Trillion in debt monetization.

And that was because Obama used the military and CIA to invade countries and assassinate their leaders in order to force them to use the Consortium of International Bankers (what we call the Federal Reserve Bank), while the 'coalition' nations (US, Germany, France, etc) stole the GOLD they were previously using as the basis of their economy.

They did it to Ghaddafi and were trying to do it to Assad.
