The Federal Reserve: The Biggest Scam In History

That and the fact that the economic data was coming in relatively perky, at least in terms of the headline data, made it highly unlikely that the Fed would do any more money printing.But here’s the thing. They are what the Fed and Wall Street casino owners want you to think. The Fed wants the market to go higher, but it doesn’t want commodities to go with it, so its story line is that the economy is healthy enough to continue growing without more QE. That gives traders reason to continue buying stocks, and no reason to buy commodities, which everyone “knows” go up when the Fed prints, in spite of Bernanke’s denials. We won’t know the real story until February 2018 when the Fed will release the transcripts of this year’s FOMC meetings. The decisions the Fed wants you to make are to buy stocks, bay and hold Treasuries, and sell commodities.The Fed’s Con Appears To Be Working But The Curtain Is Rising On The Third Act | ZeroHedge.

Yet Another Assumption of Power

The British Parliament over three centuries ago knew a tyrant when they saw one. Stuart kings of the 1600s, each in their own way, worked to absorb as much political power into the throne as possible. Charles I in the 1640s proved so obnoxious that he was relieved of his head. His son Charles II worked at a much slower pace, preventing the need for rebellion. The last male Stuart king, James II, found himself fired by Parliament.They then “hired” James’ daughter Mary who brought her husband William along. Before they could assume the throne in 1689, Parliament presented a contract known ever since as the English Bill of Rights. Our own Founding Fathers borrowed heavily from some of its ideas. Violations of it were cited as reasons for independence. Some of its cherished principles became foundations of American law.

The Obama Administration’s FY2013 federal budget is inherently dishonest and is a reelection scheme that masquerades as a budget.  Take a close look, and you will see that the Obama Administration’s approach has veered far away from mere incompetence and political expediency.
