Topic: BREAKING NEWS: American Patriots Militia Groups taking down the Federal Reserve - page 12. (Read 65031 times)

That's a great article, and the Senator is an idiot!

The best part is the comments - people are no longer afraid to bash the shills and the trolls!

Are anti-Fed articles appearing in mainstream publications part of an extended program of tearing down the Fed in order to remake it as part of a global central bank?

Recently published anti-Fed arguments and their nearer-term motives  have been commented on with considerable accuracy by various alternative-media entities. These arguments are compellingly presented. But step back, please.

It is difficult to avoid concluding – if one examines events from the requisite altitude – that the current system will eventually give way to something more homogenized. Perhaps the IMF will take the lead, or perhaps the Fed and other powerful central banks will be more fully integrated under the supervision of the International Monetary Fund.

No matter the disasters of ever-larger bureaucratic, price-fixing entities, the solution is always seen to be even more centralization. The bigger the better: As if somehow technocratic corporatism and its affiliated bureaucracy are going to succeed when they finally accumulate enough power.

 Ordo ab chao …

And thus the tearing down proceeds apace. Does anyone really believe, for instance, that at the topmost level, people were not aware that posting an unmonitored Fed Facebook page would attract serious opposition (here)?

Is it some sort of secret that many are generally are disgusted with central banking and the Fed in particular? We are supposed to believe that an organization that can send $16 trillion around the world as it chooses (here) is incompetent about even the rudiments of public relations?

Before the big meeting at Jackson Hole that ends this weekend, (here)  prominent negative news has been featured regarding the Fed. The article regarding the Fed's Facebook trolls was posted at US News and World Report. But other anti-Fed articles have attracted attention.

John Hilsenrath recently posted an anti-Fed article at the Wall Street Journal (here). An excerpt:

Years of Fed Missteps Fueled Disillusion With the Economy and Washington … Once-revered, [the] central bank failed to foresee the crisis and has struggled in its aftermath, fostering the rise of populism and distrust of institutions.

And then there is the just-published – and biting – article by former Fed member Kevin Warsh ("The Federal Reserve Needs New Thinking"), also posted at The Wall Street Journal (here).

An excerpt from the conclusion:

As the dispenser of fault and favor, the Fed is contributing to the public perception of an unfair, inequitable economic system. Real reform this is not … If, as is more likely, the economy is closer to recession than resurgence, the Fed is poorly positioned to respond with force, efficacy and credibility.

The Fed is vulnerable. Its recent centennial as our nation's central bank should not be confused with its permanent acceptance in the American political system.

This is not normal rhetoric. It is provided by a senior member of the monetary establishment and presented in the nation's most prestigious business journal.

Perhaps in order to ensure our comprehension, a previously established-group is suddenly rising to prominence, "Fed Up."

Where is Fed Up being featured? Why in the Financial Times (here).

An excerpt:

'Fed Up' activists give message to Jackson Hole Central bank officials …

Federal Reserve officials on Thursday found their plans to tighten policy under assault from community activists, who accused them of compromising the interests of poorer citizens in a fight against an illusory threat of inflation.

In a meeting with the Fed Up coalition attended by 11 top US Fed officials on the eve of the Jackson Hole symposium, central bankers insisted they had no desire to halt the recovery but that they needed to act to prevent risky imbalances from emerging down the road.

Oh boy, this is a wild ride from the first post to the last one now

Why are so many bankers committing suicide?
