  • Greenspan, Bernanke, Yellen and other past officials say Trump using ‘prosecutorial attacks’ to undermine Fed

    From cnbc.com

    A chorus of previous Federal Reserve chairs, Treasury secretaries and prominent economists came together Monday to support Jerome Powell as the central bank leader faces potential perjury allegations from the Justice Department. “The reported criminal inquiry into Federal Reserve Chair Jay Powell is an unprecedented attempt to use prosecutorial attacks to undermine that independence,” a statement backed by more than a dozen signatories said. “This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of their economies more ...

I wonder if there is any similarity between the 'rate' the Fed decides to charges banks and the Trump administration imposing tariffs on other countries?

US is the gang!!

This idea of a small colony in the med sea occupying a giant like US or some old bankers with glasses are forcing themselves upon the poor little human savage settlers who killed 100 mil native murikans, is just deflection.

rothchilds' kids are not enlisting to the military, heck even orange man was a draft dodger during the time he got experience in running bankruptcy schemes.

Big satan(US) and little satan(izrahell) they dance to the same melody, part of the same symphony.

The yiddish banksters have taken an ancient, extinct religion as a cover, while big satan and its minions are crying wolf, claiming to be victim of little satan... "They forced us to travel cross the ocean, pick our guns and kill natives, establishing military bases and protect oil giants"

Poor big satan and its minions, who have no agency over its choices.

Video games, Netflix, sugary drinks and fake patriotism, this is what murikans are good at.
- Why do you think most murikans are fat as fuck? We keep our cattle fat too, so they have no reason to revolt or escape.

If any change gonna happen, it will be from Europeans, IF!!!

Nevermind why it's taking $2,500,000,000.00 and eight years to renovate a building. We're the Fed. We can do whatever we want, whenever we want, and anyone raising concerns about us mismanaging large sums of currency while making false statements underoath in Congress is threatening our independence.

I think the people want to know.
