The Federal Reserve is Running on Empty. ‘What passes for central banking today is really a perverse form of Wall Street-pleasing monetary manipulation. It employs the vocabulary of central banking, but in practice it fundamentally undermines main street prosperity, even as it showers the 1% (the top wealthiest people) with unspeakable financial windfalls. Stated differently, virtually everything the Fed does for the alleged benefit of the American economy is both unnecessary and a ruse. The Fed has actually become a captive of the Wall Street traders, gamblers and high rollers, and functions mainly at their behest. The proof of this...

When our world believes and KNOWS we stand at the precipice of turning off the engine fueling global chaos, endless wars, societal destruction, financial slavery, family division and the grotesque centralization of power & riches into the hands of the “elite” 1%, our world changes for the better. The LYNCH PIN to ending centralized tyranny is our understanding of how they constructed and continue to operate their slavery monetary system. Knowing the truth always set us free. Lack of knowledge always destroys us. Global control can end far sooner than most allow ourselves to believe. Thank you, Todd Wood, for...

The lifelong passions, promises and policies of a self-avowed, America-hating, multi-billionaire who describes himself a god, are unfolding before the eyes of America and the world. George Soros, is a Hungarian born political activist & investor who has long proclaimed the very existence of America (as it exists today), and more specifically, our United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, are the greatest obstacles to achieving his preferred one world system of global governance. And George Soros is a megalomaniacal radical who puts his money where his mouth is. According to Wikipedia, his personal net worth ismore than nine billion...

Federal Reserve vice chair Stanley Fischer is resigning from his post at the central bank effective in mid-October, the Fed announced Wednesday. Fischer cited “personal reasons” in his resignation letter to President Donald Trump. Fischer’s term as vice chair was slated to end on June 12, 2018. “It has been a great privilege to serve on the Federal Reserve Board and, most especially, to work alongside Chair [Janet] Yellen as well as many other dedicated and talented men and women throughout the Federal Reserve System,” Fischer wrote.

In March 2011, Reuters announced a secret order signed by Barack Obama to provide covert support for Libyan rebel forces. The operation became known as Zero Footprint, but after Obama finished with it, Big Foot was identified. For about 18 months before the attacks on our Benghazi Special Mission, intelligence had successfully identified terrorist factions inside the rebel factions. Those terrorists included the Muslim Brotherhood as well as al-Qaeda. Nevertheless, Senator John McCain said the rebels were his heroes. Qadhafi made a fatal mistake, literally, by working toward one currency for Africa, which threatened the West. The idea of a...

First they purloin the savings and bank deposits in Laiki and the Bank of Cyprus, including the working funds of the University of Cyprus, and thousands of small firms hanging on by their fingertips. Then they seize three quarters of the country’s gold reserves, making it ever harder for Cyprus to extricate itself from EMU at a later date. The people of Cyprus first learned about this from a Reuters leak of the working documents for the Eurogroup meeting on Friday. It is tucked away in clause 29. "Sale of excess gold reserves: The Cypriot authorities have committed to sell...

Several writers have noted the odd fact that the Libyan rebels took time out from their rebellion in March to create their own central bank - this before they even had a government. Robert Wenzel wrote in the Economic Policy Journal: I have never before heard of a central bank being created in just a matter of weeks out of a popular uprising. This suggests we have a bit more than a rag tag bunch of rebels running around and that there are some pretty sophisticated influences. Alex Newman wrote in the New American: In a statement released last week,...

Did we not fight a war for independence? Gainor will be our guest on Gulag Night, this Monday 3/28, 10pm ET. Don't miss the beginning, because he only has 30 minutes to spare.

Soros on Europe’s Worsening Banking...

The US Constitution is being intentionally destroyed along with the United States’ currency, economy, and the liberty of its people. This is generally being accomplished through the manipulations of our own national leadership elite along with an elite international cartel. You may very well recognize the Players. The New World Order Plot Here is the Helicopter View of 6 forces pushing for World Government (WG). The US, the US Constitution, and the American People are all that prevent the implementation of a WG and therefore all three must be destroyed. The WG will be under the control of the United...

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave a speech in Rhode Island on Monday. Bernanke warned the audience of the Annual Meeting of the Rhode Island Public Expenditure Council that the state of American finances is "unsustainable." Bernanke is quoted as saying: "Let me return to the issue of longer-term fiscal sustainability. As I have discussed, projections by the CBO and others show future budget deficits and debts rising indefinitely, and at increasing rates. To be sure, projections are to some degree only hypothetical exercises. Almost by definition, unsustainable trajectories of deficits and debts will never actually transpire, because creditors would...

There are also reports that the man who was at the crash site and made the video has been murdered. This is a developing story and I will post more later…….. Pay attention to the last part of the video Bear in mind that Poland is the only country in Europe to to have refused the swine flu vaccine, due to the courageous action of the Polish Health Minister, Ewa Kopacz and Poland was the only country which had a central bank goveror that postponed or was unwilling to allow the zloty currency to strengthen in respect to the Euro...

THIS IS A LONG READ, BUT VERY INFORMATIVE. Let me issue and control a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws." (Mayer Amschel Rothschild, Founder of Rothschild Banking Dynasty) Many prominent Americans such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Andrew Jackson have argued and fought against the central banking polices used throughout Europe.

What happens when fiscal irresponsibility gets rewarded with bailouts? You get more fiscal irresponsibility. Let's stop rescuing greedy financiers and investors.As regular readers know, I have been a longtime critic of the Federal Reserve. Not too far back, that view was a decidedly minority one. But as our credit bubble undergoes an ugly unwinding, it's dawning on folks that central banks lie at the epicenter of the problem. Andy Xie nailed it in Tuesday's Financial Times, which is why I've chosen to begin my column with quotes from his article "It's time for central banks to stop bailing out markets."...

The European Central Bank has raised interest rates a quarter point to 3.75pc despite an unprecedented attack on the "reliablity" of its strategy by the Bank of France and a barrage of attacks by French leaders. Jean-Claude Trichet said the ECB acted in part to curb the 9.8pc rise in the M3 money supply, the highest since the creation of the euro. Jean-Claude Trichet, the ECB's president, said monetary policy for the 13 countries of the euro-zone was still "accommodative", a coded warning that further tightening is on the way after seven rate rises since December 2005. "Liquidity is ample...

It seems like no one wants to leave the Chinese alone when it comes to revaluing the yuan. Here is some news that I am sure the Chinese would like to see spread all over the pages. The Russians say their economy is not ready to introduce the idea of a 'floating ruble' yet because it involves: 1. Economic risks 2. Reevaluation (sounds like revaluation) of the state's participation in the economy. Russia's Federal Financial Markets Service Head, Oleg Vyugin, said, "we're not ready." "People think the ruble rate is undervalued," he said. That statement could be put in any...

State Cons The State continually fails and destroys, yet it persists. You say, “Of course it persists – it has the guns.” True, but it’s not like we’re standing around with our hands up, nor is that what the State wants us to do. Its destructive interventions notwithstanding, it wants us to create as much wealth as possible so it will have an ample source of plunder. How it goes about the plundering process is critical to its success. The golden rule is: the victims must approve of it. Let’s look at how this works with its two greatest sources...

What is the Federal Reserve System? The Federal Reserve System, also known as the Fed, is the central bank of the United States. It was created by the Congress with the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. The Federal Reserve System is composed of a central, governmental agency--the Board of Governors--in Washington, D.C., and twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks located in major cities throughout the nation. What are the Federal Reserve's responsibilities? The Federal Reserve System was chartered in 1913 to provide the nation with a safer, more flexible, and more stable monetary and financial system.
