While admitting that consumer spending had dropped; and while admitting that production of goods and services had “slowed significantly”; and while admitting that consumers have “lower real disposable incomes and tighter financial conditions; and while stating that “activity in the housing sector had weakened”, housing purchases have fallen; and while accepting that “business fixed investment seems to have declined in the second quarter,” Fed Chairman Powell announces his intention to continue targeting excessive demand.
If we accept that monetary policy can only impact the demand side of the economy (regulatory policy impacting the supply side); and if we accept all off the currently existing realities of a declining demand side, as outlined by Powell; then you might wonder what excessive demand is it that he’s targeting? The answer to that question is the secret sauce. They want less energy demand. WATCH (2 mins):
The federal reserve, just like all the central banks around the collective western alliance, is trying to reduce the economy in order to reduce energy use. This is the monetary policy side supporting the Build Back Better, Climate Change, regulatory policy side. {Go Deep}
They cannot admit openly what they are doing, but the bankers are trying to help the globalist politicians by shrinking their economy. Raising interest rates into preexisting economic contraction is against their legislative mandate, because it only leads to unemployment and a smaller economy.
Powell is using the pretense of demand side inflation as a justification to raise interest rates. It’s not demand driving inflation, it’s the energy policy.
Powell is managing the monetary side of the transition to a New Green Deal economy.
Powell is managing the economy into a recession to support the “energy transition”.
This is all being done on purpose.
[…] Mr. Powell said in his news conference following the Fed’s decision to raise rates by by 75 basis points that future rate decisions will be made on a meeting-by-meeting basis now that the federal funds rate target range is between 2.25% and 2.5%, which he deemed roughly neutral in terms of its impact on economic activity.
Mr. Powell said the 75-basis-point moves in June and July were unusually large and something similar at the September FOMC “could be appropriate.” But he said that the Fed can no longer provide “clear guidance” and will let the data determine what happens next. He said he still believes monetary policy will need to move to a restrictive stance and will likely be between 3% and 3.5% by year end. (LINK)


Well if they want me to eat bugs???????
I guess I will have to order more lobster!
Florida mini season is just around the corner.
Mini season started today. My son went down with friends
Saw lots of boats/divers today!!
Come to Maine, eat real lobster 🙂
I went allergic to shellfish at age 60. Enjoy it! IT sucks but then again, I ate WAY more than my share. I had shellfish for dinner twice a week for more than 35 years.
That said, and this is just a theory, I became allergic to penicillin in my 40’s. Do not eat farm raised shellfish. And they sell it a lot more than you think. Especially shrimp, which is where my allergy started.
In order to make more profit, offshore shellfish farms put antibiotics in the water to maximize yield.
My sister went allergic to red meat around age 60 — beef for sure, probably pork too, and cow’s milk I think — also has to watch ingredients contents carefully
There’s a virus (I think) that’s transmitted by tick bite and triggers this alpha-gal syndrome. I think alpha-gal refers to a carbohydrate that’s contained in red meat
She goes into an anaphylactic reaction – rash, throat starts closing – and has to self-inject with an Epi-pen (epinephrine)
But then – she has to go to the emergency room to safely bring her down off of the epinephrine, it jacks all your vitals way up (heart rate, breathing, etc). Happened once when she was visiting me, we were at brunch and had to divert to the emergency room.
Much sympathy to anyone prone to anaphylaxis
Thank you! I carry 2 EpiPens wherever I go 24/7.
Slob researchers frigged around with tickborne diseases on Plum Island decades ago, spilled Lyme out to damage the lives of countless dogs and people.

The private auto is the target. Has always been the target.

The elite will travel by limo.
The plan for many decades. The plan..
Lowering energy usage. They want it to cost a lot.
Less fossil fuel used they save the world. Well that’s their narrative.
Dems would let people freeze to death to push their New Green Deal Crusade.
Already have- See Texas freeze last year
They are not lowering energy cost, they are lowering energy use.
Since energy use is proportional to standard of living, they are impoverishing us.
Also, they are impoverishing us with inflation.
Soon they will be starving us with high food costs and no food.
The outcomes of their plans are blindingly obvious.
But they are allowed to bullshit and gaslight and lie to their hearts content.
And any who call them on it are censured and ostracized, turned into a public enemy.
It’s not supposed to make sense.
Power.
Control.
Serfdom.
when electric demand is reduced, the electric utilities petition the government regulatory bodies for a rate increase. since most if not all regulated industries are in bed with their regulators, rates are almost always increased with little to no impact to the utilty’s bottom line. (thats why they can run virtue signaling commercials asking you to use less of their product).
when people pay more for utilities they have less to spend on food and other necessities. disposable income becomes a fond memory.
unlike food, utilities are not fungible. when people cant afford steak, they buy hamburger. they still eat, though. but when they must use less of one utility because it costs too much, they cant compensate by using more of another utility. they cant power their homes on water or natural gas. they cant drink, bathe or irrigate their gardens with gas or electric. they cant cook with natural gas unless the infrastructure to do so is in place. in many places there are no NG lines. they have no choice but to reduce their usage even more, or pay more by using funds that would otherwise have gone to necessities like food. rinse and repeat.
they can also get a second or third job to bring in more income. but an unanticipated expense can be disastrous. a major car repair is needed. someone gets sick. the family dog needs surgery. government assistance AKA government dependence looks better and better.
sundance has been prescient about this issue. everything that is happening is being done on purpose.
the days of hoping for the best are long gone.
it’s time to prepare for the worst.
It makes the green new deal seem to be more realistic when there is less usage to replace.
Congress has NEVER VOTED ON THIS, THEY HAVE NEVER GIVEN A PUBLIC PRESENTATION ON THIS, WITH PROS AND CONS.
We have not had a chance to CHOOSE if we want this or not, nor choose the consequences, and then , the politicians lie about everything, and do it on our dime.
Lowering energy demand. Nobody driving to work, nobody building things, nobody running their a/c below 78….
Until energy demand is low enough for the windmills to keep up with it, their green new deal won’t be successful.
They have no interest in lowering energy costs… Energy demand is what they want to cut.
Purple tie and all
Good catch. It’s all production values audience impact to these scum.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is the significance of a purple tie?
DC Uniparty (or Deep State)…Look at the purple tent worn by HR Clinton when she finally had to admit she didn’t win in 2016(And slick willie had his purple tie on as well…Trey Goudy on Sunday Nights on Fox(usually in a purple tie). I believe it is supposed to signify not right(red) or left(blue) and red and blue together is purple….
So not ignorance, just an inside joke…he could have worn, red yellow blue or any other color, but chose Purple….
think it means ties to CCP–here is Blackstone CEO school in Beijing–https://www.schwarzmanscholars.org
they sure love purple
A purple post at the entry of any property in Texas serves as notice trespassing is not allowed. It is as legit as an actual “No Trespassing” sign.
It’s supposed to repel “demons.” Kinda strange to see a purple house, yet they’re there! But that is basically hazard a guess kinda thing.
It is the color of hubris!
Not sure what to to think about Pubs who wear purple ties. See them on rightish new channels.
“A recession is two consecutive quarters with negative growth in GDP while a Republican is President.”
Or one quarter of negative growth in the case of W.
He’s one of them…I don’t count him.
More BS from central planning.

That does it, I will commit to driving an extra 1000 miles this week to increase the energy demand……..

Growing up I was repeatedly told we live in a “Free Market” society. But wouldn’t it be truly a Free Market if we didn’t have the powerful ‘Feds’? It does not seem like a free market to me when so many people are on the edge of their seats waiting to see what this government entity will do to us.
“wouldn’t it be truly a Free Market if we didn’t have the powerful ‘Feds’?”
Who founded the Federal Reserve? Wilson, this nation’s second full blown Fabian Socialist President.
It’s not a government entity, but part of a private banking cabal.
Yup!!!
Nothing Biden does ever helps Americans. Who is he really working for?
Jackwagons – all of them.
The only way an average American can interpret this (today I paid $50 for 1/2 a tank of gas in my super economical small car)… is that the Fed is a corrupt entity causing them unnecessary pain.
I’m not going to eat the bugs.
Sundance makes a great point. I’d add that the Fed is also quick to raise rates whenever wages start rising. Wages are up significantly though not close to the rate of inflation.
I watched Powell today and was struck that he did not even mention the politicians’ role in restricting supply and how they could open things up and lower inflation. Money supply figures indicate that the rate of money growth has slowed to about where it averaged in years prior to the pandemic. If that continues, and it should, inflation would come down without the Fed raising rates (assuming politicians don’t further restrict supply). It would take about 10-12 months, so it wouldn’t be visible right away, but the Fed knows all this. It wants to lower energy use and wages so it’s raising rates anyway.
You will walk, own nothing and eat bugs. They don’t care about happy just that you keep your mouth shut.
THAT’S NOT going to happen!!!
We are coming up the hill saying:
“BADGES, we don’t need no stinkin’ BADGES!!!!”
Rising wages are their only inflation concern. As they shifted many trillions of dollars worth of financial fraud onto their books, bailing out Ponzi after Ponzi, there was never a whiff of inflation…but our costs skyrocketed as a direct result. The Fed is a garbage dump. Who gets bailed this time?

Just another gas bag, this guy. Probably has gum recession.
What sane being is still buying a new gasoline-powered auto?
You’re willing to pay “a little more” for gas. Fine, and soon, the gas station will be right next to the Blockbuster Video store. There will be no gas available.
The scarcity of imagination in the human animal is an endless marvel. What people have not experienced, they cannot envision. The return to feudalism, to the world of kings and queens, still drives most people’s ideal. Two and a half centuries of American liberal democracy and they still ain’t sold. Too new..
It was Thomas Jefferson’s greatest fear, a population too mindless to preserve freedom.
NAILED IT!!! WELL SAID!!!
I find that humans have great difficulty recognizing when something has changed, even permanently changed. We tend to keep on plugging forward even though it no longer works. Habits are strong. I guess the root is a difficulty recognizing that reality actually exists outside our own little world that we made.
Our goal should be to improve, not just change especially not when change is actually regressive.
Not sure what you’re saying, but it sounds like what they’re banking on, people fleeing from oil when we have more than we need.
Farmers live in the country, and farming is heavily dependent on gasoline and diesel. Red states are rural states where the grocery store is 10 miles away.
Are you saying you’re going to live in the city and walk everywhere or pay through the nose for an electric vehicle that they can shut down by flipping a switch at the power station? No. Either we defeat them or learn to live like the Amish. That or live in one of their CCP style hives. There’s no middle road at the moment.
Not my plan, Chief. Their plan.
That’s been their plan for quite a while. The end of suburbia. Everyone moves back into the city and uses public transprtation. Cities connected by high speed rail. Only the Club Members will be flying. The countryside will be state run farms, mines, forrestry etc … and the rest will return to wilderness. A few places like Jackson Hole and Vale will remain so the Club can recreate away from the masses.
Obama craved the end of suburbia during his Presidency, because the suburbs vote Republican.
And the dopes said “I’ll pay slightly more for my gas, in exchange for the privilege of a green lawn”.
The price of gas will go up, until the suburbs become untenable. Of course.
It is not about gas cars or electric cars, you dopes. It is about a one-party State.
The suburban vote is up for grabs, and goes Democrat in good economic times because soccer moms love to vote for people who “care.” It’s been like this for generations.
And Obama’s dream of driving us all back into the cities is DOA. Cities are dying, which is why his crew switched gears and are trying to overwhelm the suburbs with refugees from the inner cities.
I read a story about a week ago of gpa teenager whose parents bought him a used electric ford. Cost about $11,000. Had it about six months and it died. The battery needed to be replaced so they were going to get a new battery, $14,000. The kicker was when they were told that ford doesn’t make that type of battery any longer. No the kid has and $11,000 paper weight. That is why people are still buying cars that run on gasoline.
And if no gas is available? At any price?
Try harder..
“Thunderdome!” Put Tina Turner in Charge!
Or wait until we get to the “Fury Road” version! Minimal Gas, no Water!
Gassify wood. It was done in WW2.
“buying a new gasoline powered auto” Need to stop you right there….they want you to rent your mobility and freedom to travel…you would be insane to “Buy” an electric car(no residual value). Make your existing IC car/truck last…, or acquire a new to you high quality late model gasoline or diesel version. That way you will have something to live in prior to the “madMax” dystopia…comming soon to a desert near you!
NWO says “You will own nothing and be happy…” Neofeudalism is indeed on the horizon.
Their evil knows no bounds. I think we need a divorce – let the people who believe in the plandemic, baby murder, and eating bugs have their country and the rest of us can have ours with a big wall and armed guards between us.
Nope. If there is a divorce WE get the “communal property” because we are the only ones that appreciate it, love it, and will care for it. They can pick a country. Maybe Ukraine. We’ve sent them billions, they can take a hundred million or so idiots. Fair exchange.
Also they have 30 days to leave, never to return. Those that don’t leave, lets just say there will be motivating incentives.
You would think they would do the exact thing Trump was doing and everyone would be happy? How in the World do they think what they are doing is going to work?
When I went into business and whatever it was, I was told to always copy what the #1 was doing and adapt it to what I was getting ready to do. I mean it is not rocket science. For those who are anal I apologize in advance “I mean”.

This is a taste of what they would like to have for the unwashed masses. Until they can kill them off of course. They will always need the masses to pick from for the work, but they don’t want us to be anything but a worker.
“How in the World do they think what they are doing is going to work?” In the minds of the left – if what’s in their skulls can be called that – the definition of “working” is “the destruction of the West”, followed by The Great Reset, a world in which they are kings and we – those who are still alive – are serfs.
Incompetent, evil, or both?
Just evil.
Evil, using incompetence as an excuse!
Useful Idiots are mostly incompetent while the Oligarchs, their minions in the government and media, are mostly evil. Some have a dual diagnosis.
Hmmm . . . looks like someone needs to tell Warren and Summers that Powell is on their team. Neither seems to have got the message.
We will crash the economy and you will enjoy it.
This lasts only as long as the American public allows. Americans are not going to give up the prosperity that comes from energy.
In 2020 the majority of the country voted for Trump, however from the beginning they told us they were going to rig and steal the 2020 election and they did. They are accountable to no one! What make you think they really care about what you think or want? The republicans don’t even care what you think or want. They have all the money and all the power, unearned of course, but they do, so exactly what do you think the American people can do to change things when our voices are silenced, our representatives only represent themselves and they are tanking our economy on purpose? And if you think a civil war will makes thing better they are counting on it so they can shoot us dead in the street. in fact that is exactly what they want, us dead. So what is the answer?
My gosh Biden told us in advance they were going to rig the election. There are situations and times to believe Biden.
Counting lower employees and unelected, there are only about 600,000 t0 1,000,000 people that decide what happens to our country. A country of 330,000,000.
They must be nuts if they think they stand a chance in hell of winning this.
We all need to start at the state level, as we did in FL. Each state with 2 senators. And we have more red states than blue.
FL is the model for our future. Go Federalist or go home and never bitch about it again! States have all the power, not DC.
Getting rid of unelected bureaucrats at all levels by whatever means necessary is the primary job; in short, castrating Branch 4. Doing it peacefully will take IMO two to three generations at least. I doubt the country will exist that long, at least in a form those of us alive today would recognize. Happy to be wrong about that.
That isn’t done by living and let live; it’s done by constant pressure, politics, ugly tactics, just use the Communist playbook as a guide. That’s how it got to this point and that’s what, short of open war, it’ll take to reverse it. If you or anyone has a better idea that history has shown to work, I’m all ears.
I’ve no idea where these #s come from..
Leftists will vote Democrat, no matter what.
Blacks will vote Democrat, no matter what. Especially black women. If Republicans were serious about a change of power (hmm..) they would target young black men.
Bureaucrats are now unofficially Democrats. Trump’s downfall, and a huge obstacle now and going forward. A huge voting bloc, and a huge reliable source of election fraud.
Young, single women vote Democrat because Democrats care. Again, a most fickle crowd, but still a huge obstacle. So where is the Republican woman who can sway these children?
We talk about the Uniparty, and the Republicans offer up Mitch McConnell. I’ll count on my fingers the Democrats who might actually vote for China Mitch..
A vote for a demoncrat is a vote for China. Joe’s master is running the show.
Treason goes unpunished in the US………………………….#0bamagate
Actually, I believe it’s the Ukraine. I strongly believe all those billions sent there are dimm AND RINOS hush money so that they don’t get exposed about all the laundering that went through there.
Oh you are so right. The republicans didn’t even put up a fight not to send that money there and to boot little lizard Zelenski demands more, not asks for more, demands more. Anyone who thinks there isn’t some kind a blackmail going on in Ukraine with Zelenski their heads up their tails.
Tonight, Tucker is on topic on his second segment – not the opening monologue – which was excellent as well.
I hope SD posts that segment here tomorrow. It basically confirms everything I wrote on my post above…
And everything I believed from the start of this war. Graham is one of the stars in the clip.
Big time blackmailing calls for Big Time executions for treason. Standard penalty since 1776.
Sundance, you have addressed the interest rate hikes, but what about the reduction of the Fed’s balance sheet (QT)? How does this facilitate the Great Reset?
Running the money printer full tilt for the last 2 years is the root cause of inflation, energy policy is just exacerbating it.
Printing huge money prints has caused inflation every time it is tried. Germany tried to do the same thing to pay punishing Versaille Treaty payments, and wound up with run away inflation.
The Fed rate needs to be 9 or 10 percent. That has nothing to do with reducing oil demand.
BIG but. Wall Street doesn’t want that. Wall Street’s goal is not having to compete with T-bills as an investment.
finally someone sees the truth here, thank you, Joe.
It would bankrupt the country attempting to service the debt alone. The government would have only two choices and it would likely need the both of them. 1 confiscate all investment accounts 2. print the money and cause runaway inflation.
Otherwise I agree
Focusing on the economy and energy is the stressful distraction used to rob us all blind. Truly this evil cannot last.
I hope hell is real just so that Joe Biden and his soulless cabinet can all burn in it. The word “evil” doesn’t even begin to describe those people.
*ahem* Sundance, it’s the Green Nude Eel. Just ask the climate genius AOC.
Wait… she wouldn’t know the difference.
Adjust your prose accordingly. 😉😉

(Okay. I know you can’t do that because you need clarity for a serious matter, but Green Nude Eel is fun, innit?)
This transition is fake. They are not actually transitioning to anything, they are simply trying to get us to have less energy. The Fed and all Dem. Politicians maintain absolute Silence about this. Because if they even mention that “gee if we had a little bit cheaper gas and Diesel everything would be a quite a bit cheaper cheaper, and the economy would be better”. But, if they do that, then the dam would break and their own constituents would demand that the oil industry be restored.
The number of people who really believe that we must abandon oil and gas, or even coal is not great. The purpose of this action is to weaken the United States at a time when Russia China and perhaps others are preparing to take advantage of our weakness.
I suspect those in Washington behind all of this, expect to end up being the stars of a totalitarian oligarchy masquerading as socialist. The worst of two worlds. It is the fact that in order to do that in the United States, they would need foreign help, is what persuades me of the foreign part of this formulation.
It’s a purposeful transition intended to result in catastrophic economic and societal and human suffering with unimaginable consequences the likes of which we have not seen since the worst of WWII.
If there was ever a reason to instantly disband the federal reserve then they just handed it to us. I mean instantly. If we ever claw back this country from the lunatics then they are gone. No pensions, no two weeks, just get out of the building and leave us the hell alone gone.
This reminds me of a story my brother told me about working at a Ford dealership during Cash for Clunkers. The Service Manager would take each vehicle behind the building, pour an unknown substance into the gas tank, and rev the engine until it seized up before being hauled away to the crusher. All before being shipped to the ChiComs. It seems like joetato & Co. are seizing our engines, ready to hand off the scraps to Poohbear.
those greedy progs in the House will tank the deal with their non-negotiable demands………..
As Bill Burr said in 2014, they can’t come out and say 85% of you have to go.
That picture looks more like HOME in the USA every day!!!
Sundance, by focusing on the micro you are missing the massive shift taking place on the macro, all being put in place by the Fed’s rate shifts:
Please read some of Tom Luongo for the bigger picture:
https://tomluongo.me/2022/07/15/media-fed-world-have-declared-independence/
here is a quote:
“…Today we are watching the Fed run the global economy into an iceberg long thought that we could avoid.
WE CAN’T.
We have to hit it and take out lumps.
This is what will set the stage for a REVERSAL of “The World That Davos Built”, which is the legacy this [OUR GENERATION READING THIS] generation must leave the next, or humanity enters a multi-century dark age of technocratic control or worse, complete societal collapse.
So, look around you. Russia is winning in Ukraine.
The Global South refused to be intimidated and stood by Putin.
Sanctions are destroying the EU.
The dollar is still king ( for now) and GUTTING Davos’ power base: the EU and the European banking system.
The Fed is gleefully raising rates to destroy the Biden Administration and set the US on a more sustainable path, the one thing the world desperately wants to see. Draghi is out in Italy, Eastern Europe is falling while Viktor Orban rises in Hungary. The BRICS are expanding and NATO is fracturing.
Let’s make 2022 the year that DAVOS LOST. ”
You are cursing J Powell but raising rates is destroying both the globalists in the WH and in the EU.
And they are spitting blood because he has refused to do their bidding.
How is raising rates destroying Davos? Sure the dollar is rising against the euro, but we’re still printing and getting destroyed with a supply side, not demand side, inflation.
If Davos was upset, they’d tell the Biden crowd to cut it out and/or fire Powell.
Warren and Summers, two die hard Leftists, are out for Powell’s scalp. They know that rising interest rates lead to higher unemployment, which translates into a blood bath at the polls. Powell is not on the Biden team– and note that quantitative tightening (QT) started in November of last year. How much of the assets on the Fed’s balance sheet will Powell retire, and with what impact on the markets?
Yes, Tom has a different take on the Fed’s involvement…definitely worth checking out his content.
https://tomluongo.me/
What a perfect headline that will go over the heads of the “intellectual” left retards.
I think it causes more damage if they DO NOT raise it at or above the rate of inflation. (8 – 9% range)
2.5% is still way below 9% where it should be.
This raising of rates above the inflation rate was what they had to do in the 80’s to break the back of inflation (Volker)
Inflation is a tax really. A theft, to siphon currency from the middle class to the elite. But since the Fed is a banking cartel what can be expected, they sure do not have the interests of “Joe on the Street” in mind when making their decisions.
Also wasn’t 40% of all the dollars ever created by the USA (in its entire existence), created only over the last 24 month period?
There’s your source of inflation.
“They cannot admit openly what they are doing, but the bankers are trying to help the globalist politicians by shrinking their economy. Raising interest rates into preexisting economic contraction is against their legislative mandate, because it only leads to unemployment and a smaller economy. Powell is using the pretense of demand side inflation as a justification to raise interest rates. It’s not demand driving inflation, it’s the energy policy.”
But it’s not really an Energy Policy.
It’s a Eugenics Policy. Depopulation. They’re trying to shrink the economy to shrink energy use to shrink the People.
“Soylent People is Green!”
#OrangeTruckBad!
If only they would don that at the next BLM-Antifa riot.
The 70’s version of 2022 wasn’t far off.
I rewatched the movie last night; TBH hadn’t seen it since watching it in the theater. I could’ve sworn the line was soylent green is people but perhaps they’re doing a word play to make a point.
Between that, the Planet of the Apes movies and Omega Man, Heston had some quite interesting roles during that period. Very un Ben Hur like.
I quote from memory.
The wordplay was mine.
Today they would film “bin Her”.
Sundance
Come on man! You’re so close! Tell everybody!
It’s not “…the bankers are trying to help the globalists
politicians…”
It’s the ‘BANKERS’ are who are telling the globalist politicians what to do!
Been that way most of human history.
Go way back! Ezra Pound, et al.
LOL
“It’s the ‘BANKERS’ are who are telling the globalist politicians what to do!”
Exactly!! International bankers took over America in 1913 with the Federal Reserve Act.
History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance. – James Madison
If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. – Thomas Jefferson
This Act [Federal Reserve Act of 1913] establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this bill, the invisible government by the Monetary Power will be legalized. The people may not know it immediately, but the day of reckoning is only a few years removed… The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking bill. – Representative Charles Lindberg (R-MN)
To cause high prices, all the Federal Reserve Board will do will be to lower the rediscount rate, producing an expansion of credit and a rising stock market; then when business men are adjusted to these conditions, it can check prosperity in mid-career by arbitrarily raising the rate of interest. It can cause the pendulum of a rising and falling market to swing gently back and forth by slight changes in the discount rate, or cause violent fluctuations by a greater rate variation, and in either case it will possess inside information as to financial conditions and advance knowledge of the coming change, either up or down.This is the strangest, most dangerous advantage ever placed in the hands of a special privilege class by any Government that ever existed. The system is private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible profits from the use of other people’s money. They know in advance when to create panics to their advantage. They also know when to stop panic. Inflation and deflation work equally well for them when they control finance. – Representative Charles Lindberg (R-MN)

Representative Louis McFadden (D-PA), chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee from 1920-31 – said that the Federal Reserve Act that established a private central bank in the United States with a monopoly over the country’s currency [The stockholders of the Federal Reserve are] a super-state controlled by international bankers and international industrialists acting together to enslave the world for their own pleasure.
Representative Wright Patman (D-TX) in the 1960s – In the United States today we have in effect two government. We have the duly constituted Government. Then we have an independent, uncontrolled and uncoordinated government in the Federal Reserve System, operating the money powers which are reserved to Congress by the Constitution.
Theodore Roosevelt, New York Times, March 27, 1922 – These International bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and the columns of these papers to club into submission or rive out of public office officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government.
John Hylan, Mayor of New York – New York Times, March 26, 1922 –The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over city, state, and nation … It seizes in is long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the pubic protection… … at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interest and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties … and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business… These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of newspapers and magazines n this country.
Ma’am
You have really done your homework! There’s more but what you posted is one helluva good foundation for anyone and everyone. See Mullins also.
Reconcile 16th and 17th amendments and the timing of their passage with the Federal Reserve Act and the start of the FED.
That’s when we became tax slaves and the ability of the individual States to direct our Senators to protect us gave way to ‘lobbied’ interests. CONTROL of our politicians and disenfranchisement of private citizens and the confiscation of their wealth and freedom.
It is that simple!
The European Globalist movement is much more dangerous and will have greater negative impact upon our nation than a recession will. If Powell’s interest hikes drive the Europeans into bankruptcy, the Davos crowd will lose not only much of their fortunes but also their influence and power.
For me, a recession is preferred over communism.
I think Soros and BlackRockMecca are poised to swoop down like vultures. Others are willing to take the hit. A few are resisting, but unless I miss my guess, many are being paid off with the Biden Monopoly Money, which is being stolen as fast as its printed.
Powell’s interest hikes aren’t doing much of anything but causing misery in the US. What’s causing misery in euro land are the energy cuts.
Powell hiked rates a month ago and the euro hardly budged. Putin cuts more gas from Europe and the euro plummets against the dollar. And what did the euro do today? Didn’t budge, still at 1.02.
So no, he’s wrong.
Europe has been living on negative interest rates for some time now. As the Fed increases rates Europe has to follow suit or all investment money flows to the USA.
Moreover, the US rates are tied to SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) while Europe’s is tied to LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate). SOFR rates are influenced by bank stresses while LIBOR is pick by about a dozen people.
When Fed raises rates, LIBOR tends to blow the top off of rates trying to keep investment money in Europe. However, Europe finances are already a basket case and high rates will turn over the apple cart. If nothing else, invest funds will migrate to the US.
They intend to stair step these economics of cruelty. Double the price of fuel, then hold it—viola inflation has stopped. Wait a year, than do it again. Repeat endlessly. Only those in on the graft of 370B spending bills keep up. The rest of folks wages will not-poverty ensues.
They want less Energy demand. Energy holds the G7 together like glue. The shortage of energy, will create an uprising throughout the areas currently controlled by the G7 prior to the midterms.
Watch the U.S. military to see how they respond to the suffering of their extended families.
“IF” we are going to defeat these, whatever they are, it is absolutely going to have to happen at the local/state level. A group of “concerned citizens” simply will not be successful.
I read today that Powell will not forecast rates anymore. If this is true then he can shock the markets and main street by unannounced rate hikes or rate cuts.
Everything is going according to 0bama’s plan–wonderful! /sarc
Working as fast as I can right now to get as far down river as I can from the fence line.
God Bless all of you and keep you safe.
I don’t think these jack-leg ijits have any idea what they’re doing. They may have grandiose dreams, but the connection between the dreams and concrete action is tenuous at best.
Dear God
With virtually all indicators pointed towards recession, and Powell’s remarks acknowledging this, raising interest rates is foolish by historical standards. The only argument made is a strong labor market. In lay terms: employees are doing well so we have to kneecap them. Funny though, folks still haven’t been coaxed off the couch because at the lower end, with hammock benefits and now inflation, it costs more to work than work returns. On the upper end, boomers are checking out and vax mandates caused turnover. So employment is strong, but only for those the government cares to note-professional class. Oh, the professional class is least impacted by rate increases. This monetary policy is cruel. Those who can least afford rate increases are impacted the most.
It’s still 400 points to low… Free money isn’t free and those addicted will pay for it.
The main thing is that interest rates have to be raised. Understanding that this prohibits the Government from any future borrowing (they can’t even pay the interest on the existing [legal] debt) and understanding that the last legal debt incurred by the Federal Government was the $900B ‘relief’ bill President Trump signed in Dec2020, can help to keep the ‘big’ picture more in focus. Approximately 8 billion people (equity) vs a handful of junk bond holders(IMF,Fed Reserve, etc.) Simple debt and equity, globally.
Trust God. Fear not.
Per can’t pay interest,
When the Union
Of States
can’t pay interest
And
The FED can’t pay IMF
Then both are in Receivership
And
IMF can run a
PRIVATE SIDE
Chapter 11 of
the FED
and
the Union
It’s an intentional RESET
Let’s join BRICS. We need their vision.
