Global Banking System Doomed to Repeat History By Damon Geller As the axiom goes, “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.” And since our politicians, bankers and citizens have ignored the horrifying events of just 6 years ago, the United States and the rest of the world are about to repeat history in record time. Greece is only the beginning! Recent data now confirms our worst fears: the factors that led to the 2008 collapse of the banking system are back with a vengeance. Only this time, it’s much worse than anyone imagined. With the insidious help of politicians and The Fed, banks have secretly built up over $30 TRILLION worth of the same toxic assets that ...

Impeachment of the Federal Reserve Throughout history, holding public officials accountable for wrongdoing has been elusive even under the most moral regimes. As an ordinary practice, crime pays, especially in public office. Personal gain is an obvious offense. However, misdemeanors against specific persons, entire classes of people or even crimes against humanity are routinely committed in the normal course of administrating governments. Woefully, a universal remedy to prevent such a chronicle of depravity has never been applied to the body politik.When such violations of the public trust are perpetrated by non elected authoritarians, especially from a protected segment of the financial ...

Since the end of World War II, credit has been expanding in the U.S. At first it was a healthy expansion. Young, middle-class families took out mortgages and ran up bills on “charge cards,” such as Diners Club and American Express. Then in the late 1950s came the first credit cards. This was accompanied by large increases in consumer credit. Until the 1970s, all was well because wages were rising, too. And with so much new technology coming online, people believed their wages could only increase. Debt was no problem—neither for the nation nor for households. We’d “grow our way out of it.” But a strange—and not fully understood—new trend began in ...

Fed Fueled Financial Engineering in the Corporate C-Suites

Fed Fueled Financial Engineering in the Corporate C-Suites By David Stockman All of private U.S. debt growth since the financial crisis and the inception of “extraordinary” monetary measures in the fall of 2008 has been in the business sector. On a net basis, the modest growth of business debt during the last seven years has been entirely recycled back into the speculative pools of Wall Street. This modest growth of business debt did not fuel added output growth. Instead of spending for plant and equipment, thereby spurring measured GDP growth today and economic productivity and efficiency over the longer run, it all went into financial engineering. In so doing, it caused the ...

This past May, The Motley Fool sent 8 of its best stock analysts to Omaha, Nebraska to attend the Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholder meeting. CEO Warren Buffett and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger fielded questions for nearly 6 hours. The catch was: Attendees weren't allowed to record any of it. No audio. No video.

Submitted by Mike Krieger via Liberty Blitzkrieg blog, Perhaps the most famous, and prescient, financial cartoon in American history is the depiction of the Federal Reserve Bank as a giant octopus that would come to parasitically suck the life out of all U.S. institutions as well as free markets. The image is taken from Alfred Owen Crozier’s US Money Vs Corporation Currency, “Aldrich Plan,” Wall Street Confessions! Great Bank Combine, published in 1912, just a year before the creation of the Federal Reserve. Here it is in all its glory: Our ancestors were wiser and far more educated than modern Americans about the dangers posed ...

Why does the IRS need cellphone snooping devices? Posted on October 30, 2015 by Ben Bulardl Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee want to know what business the Internal Revenue Service has using snooping devices that can secretly trick cellphones into diverting data to the spying eyes of law enforcement — or, in this case, the tax man.

Grassley and ranking committee member Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Treasury Secretary Jack Lew “to ...

The Swedish government abetted by its fractional-reserve banking system is moving relentlessly toward a completely cashless economy. Swedish banks have begun removing ATMs even in remote rural areas, and according to Credit Suisse the rule of thumb in Scandinavia is “If you have to pay in cash, something is wrong.” Since 2009 the average annual value of notes and coins in circulation in Sweden has fallen more than 20 percent from over 100 billion to 80 billion kronor. What is driving this movement to destroy cash is the desire to unleash the Swedish central bank to drive the interest rate down even further into negative territory. Currently, it stands at -0.35 percent, but the ...
