Economist Mag Defends Fed With an Ode to the Dead

"Today, powerful people situated strategically around the Fed are protecting that institution and its members. But times are not what they were. There is the Internet to contend with and a mood of informed populism in the US that does not bode well for a continued Fed coverup. Thus, the Fed faces an institutional conundrum. The public pressure on the Fed in the long run will surely not let up. In fact, it may subside a little as the Fed tends to this latest stock market bubble, what we have called a 'Wall Street Party.' But when the party is ending and insiders (and hopefully you, dear reader) have drunk their fill of the bubbly and retired, there will be Hell to pay." Continue reading →

When We Will Celebrate the End of QE, and Why

"Central bank money is disseminated through the banking system. And the banking system over years funnels it into investable facilities like the stock market. It is a criminal system, predicated on rigorous control of money stock. If bankers really wanted to benefit the middle class, they'd pump it directly into bank accounts.

G. Edward Griffin on Globalism, Collectivism and the ‘Right Principles’

"I think the most important thing we can do today is to recognize that our opponents are not evil because of their political party affiliation. They're not our opponents because they're evil or because they have this, that or the other thing. It's because they have an ideal, a philosophy that they're following. People mistakenly often just attack them because of the party labels – 'Get rid of him. He's a Democrat!' or 'He's a Republican. Get rid of him!' Who's going to replace him? Somebody just exactly the same, with the same mindset. So it does no good to focus on personalities and names. We have to rise above that and focus on the ideas these individuals are pursuing."

Seymour Hersh on bin Laden death: ‘One big lie, not one word of it is true’

"Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider. Holding court to a packed audience at City University in London’s summer school on investigative journalism, 76-year-old Hersh is on full throttle, a whirlwind of amazing stories of how journalism used to be; how he exposed the My Lai massacre in Vietnam, how he got the Abu Ghraib pictures of American soldiers brutalising Iraqi prisoners, and what he thinks of Edward Snowden."
