Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke from November 2002:

"U.S. dollars have value only to the extent that they are strictly limited in supply. But the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press (or, today, its electronic equivalent), that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost.

"By increasing the number of U.S. dollars in circulation, or even by credibly threatening to do so, the U.S. government can also reduce the value of a dollar in terms of goods and services, which is equivalent to raising the prices in dollars of those goods and services.

"We conclude that, under a paper-money system, a determined government can always generate higher spending and hence positive inflation."

Problem is , Bernanke's theoretical strategies are not working well in the real world.

Sure , there's inflation , which the Fed likes to keep in the range of 1.7 to 2.0 percent per annum , to continually keep the wage-slaves running faster on the treadmill , and paying their 'dues' to the Fed and its evil twin , the IRS.

But , lack of confidence in the US 'dollar' Federal Reserve 'Note' is causing central bankers all over the world to stategize in keeping their own currencies cheap against it...

The race to the bottom is causing big inflation in the prices of critical commodities...

Stay awake , and stay tuned...

I think that Bernanke's plan is working quite well, but in the long run, the numbers don't really matter, it's the perception of what those numbers are that matters.

They're moving to a new all international derivatives economy, where we, the little guys, will only own a decreasing share of a secondary currency. Meanwhile, Bernanke's statements seem to indicate that he wants to use the debt and the fiscal policy to pull strings to dictate policy in Washington. Since Obama has just handed the fed complete control over derivatives and the ability to create their own cash, I'd say it seems to be working out well for them.

And yes, of course the smarter nations of the world will not accept it, there will be more massive rejections than this, but they want to make it so that they can create cash and levy taxes outside of any official system, and do it internationally.

'...Of course, many liberal Europeans are still alive and well. But first in Denmark, then in the Netherlands, and now in Sweden, illiberal, populist parties stirring up fear of immigrants – specifically Muslim immigrants – have managed to gain enough power to set, or at least influence, their countries’ political agendas.

These parties are not confined to Scandinavia and the Low Countries, but are part of a global wave of anger against political elites, who are blamed for all of the insecurities that come with global economics, the financial crisis, and living in more ethnically mixed societies. The psychology behind the Tea Party in the United States and the anti-immigrant parties in Europe is similar, even if their policies vary.'

Aside from the movement of Muslims, I agree with everything you've said, DT.

The idea that it is "leftist, populist" forces which are doing this is incomprehensible to me, especially given that it is CONSERVATIVE parties who are the ones gaining power, and ultra-CONSERVATIVE positions which are ruling more and more. How "leftist" can even be put in the same sentence is "populist" is a dichotomy, for the same reason...it is right-wing politics which is becoming more and more 'populist' in many countries, including our own.

Oops, I just reread and realized I got it wrong. It's "illiberal, populist parties stirring up fear of immigrants..."

I retract what I wrote regarding that point; it's an accurate statement after all. My bad.

However, also note that what you underlined says supposed elites "are blamed for", not that they are actually guilty of...popular perception, and as the author said, "The psychology behind the Tea Party in the United States and the anti-immigrant parties in Europe is similar, even if their policies vary."

That I agree with as well; the idiotic politispeak about "elites" is so ridiculous, especially given that many on the right went to the same universities as those they categorize as "elites", are just as rich and powerful, and only play to being "regular folk" to manipulate the public's perception.

In other words, thank you O2B, for posting the valid truth of the matter. You seem to have misunderstood the author's points, which is strange given he starts right out with "Whatever happened to the good Europeans, those nice folks in small northern countries who liked to think of themselves as the world champions of liberty and tolerance?" and "They talk about Western liberties, including freedom of speech, but Wilders wants to ban the Koran and the burqa, and a Danish member of parliament has called Islam “a plague upon Europe", as well as "the illiberal populist parties pledge their support without actually governing, thereby gaining power without responsibility".

The entire article DECRIES the swing to the right in Europe; is that what you were trying to point out?

He writes: "The influence of these slick new populists, waging their war on Islam, goes well beyond their countries’ borders. Nativism is on the rise all over the Western world, and Wilders, in particular, is a popular speaker at right-wing anti-Muslim gatherings in the US, Britain, and Germany" and "The idea of a Tea Party candidate becoming US president is alarming, to be sure, but European populists could only be part of coalition governments."

His suggestion is to include these so-called "populists", thus "They would then not only have to prove their competence, but also moderate their attitudes" because "That is why the Danish model is probably the worst solution, for it requires no governing ability from the populists. As long as Wilders and his European counterparts stay out of government, they have no incentive to temper their illiberal rhetoric and stop stoking up hostility towards ethnic and religious minorities."

His conclusion is that "people must be convinced that without controlled immigration – and not just asylum for refugees – Europeans will be worse off. With falling birthrates, immigrants are needed to maintain European prosperity. At the same time, Europe’s economies should be less enmeshed in protective regulations, so that immigrants can find work more easily", and warns that "Europe will not be safer under politicians who claim that we are at war with Islam. On the contrary, their influence will make life not only less civilized, but a great deal more dangerous."

Were you just picking and choosing a quote for your own purposes, did you misunderstand the article, or are you agreeing with the author's negativity toward the "illiberal" right wing gaining power? Doesn't seem to me as if you would agree with that, so I'm confused.

Two years ago, most Americans knew little - to absolutely nothing - about the Federal Reserve, and that's the way the Fed liked it. However, times are changing.

For over 30 years, Congressman Ron Paul has attempted to open up the Federal Reserve and shed sunlight on its books. Never before had his bill made it out of committee, let alone received a roll call vote in both houses of Congress.

The Fed and its enablers are becoming frightened of citizen outrage.

The Federal Reserve is now a household name and most people now recognize its actions as a cause of the recession rather than a solution, and its actions are frequently scrutinized in the media. No longer can the Federal Reserve go about its daily business without people asking questions.

...80% of Americans are now in favor of a full audit of the Federal Reserve.

It wasn't easy for the Fed to water down the audit. It took everything they had, including hiring a powerful and well connected ex-Enron lobbyist and circulating letters signed by so-called “renowned economists” who made it sound as if we would bring on the apocalypse itself if the Fed were subjected to an audit.

Even the Obama administration was forced to come out in opposition to the audit to help the Fed save face.
Ben Bernanke was reconfirmed with the lowest vote of any Fed Chairman.

Senators and representatives are now on the record as being either for or against transparency at the Fed.

Sad statement on you. Another example of your ilk being unable to converse, and I guess thinking that whatever you write affects me in some way?

No response to whether you thought this article backed up some anti-liberal stance of yours or whether you used it or misunderstood it. Or if you agree with it. Not important, but I'm pretty sure one of the former.

You obviously don't see this O2B, but you get yourself no where with being so blatantly, obviously wrong. All you do is convince anyone reading these threads that not only are you a dick, but you're a hypocrite.

The goal of the Fed isn't inflation, it's the monetization of the US dept. They are printing dollars and using them to by our own Treasuries. Later when they sell the Treasuries they bought with phony money they will be fooling those buying these Treasuries into paying off the US dept. Unfortunately the most important buyers of treasuries are on to the scam and US tresuries will just drop in value to reflect the monetization. Any private businessman doing something similar would be thrown in jail, but if the plan works it might save the US economy.

Niki,

This is not where we disagree. The difference between the thinking left and the thinking right is the nature of their solutions, not who they choose to blame for the various things that go wrong.

For instance, my opposition to socialism is that I don't accept it as a viable solution based on its track record as a system, and its centralized design which I think assumes leadership to have a moral and mental superiority over the people. I don't blame it for the mess we're in, I blame war, I blame war on the size of the govt, etc. But what I blame is not important. It's what solutions I think would work, or wouldn't. I don't believe the individual consumer would buy war, or bailouts, or the new world order. I suspect that they might buy moronic stuff like a fence in between the US and Mexico, so it's not a solution by itself.

As for Muslims in Europe, I don't have a problem with them being there, but it's fairly obvious to me that they were put there through manipulation. If I were to guess, I would say neocons, since they created both the wars and the changes to European immigration laws necessary to create the situation. If I were to guess at why, I'd say they probably assumed this would create conflict, and they wanted to rally Europe up against the Islamic world. Maybe a world war is in the mix, I don't know. It's a dangerous game someone's playing. Outcomes are far harder to predict than human reactions themselves. I don't think the Islamic Republic of Europe is in the neocon plans, but it could happen. Already I see the war losing support in Europe because muslims vote. The only thing you can truly expect is chaos.

You and Dreamtrove are seeing both sides of the Federal Reserve Accounting Unit 'Dollar'.

It IS a Fraud , and it really should land the perps in prison.

They've fooled folk into imagining it to be 'money' for nearly 100 years. The scheme has worked so completely that the eventual result may be irreversible.

The inflation induced during this timeframe has extracted nearly all the real value out of the people's medium of exchange.

Every one of the Fed 'notes' created induces more chronic , un-retireable debt.

The goal is both inflation , and monetization.

Both methodologies enable firmer control.

The monetization enables the privatization of wealth , while facilitating the democratization of debt. In other words , the peons are made to pay the debt , and can never get off the treadmill to serfdom , and are kept busy with the wage-slave attention-diversion systems.

Meanwhile , the wealthy get richer by gaming the system. They get to 'make money' on the upside or the down. A 'recession' is just a fire sale for the rich. Take note of how commodity prices are soaring , while a significant portion of potential foodstuffs are being diverted to ethanol production. The wealthiest do not run businesses , or even groups of businesses , they run entire economies...

Adding more energy to that system just enables a bigger , badder system.

'...Bernanke also indicated that Fed policymakers are trying to craft a plan to lift inflation from super-low levels. He made his remarks in a speech at a Fed conference in Boston.

Bernanke said the Fed must both weigh the risks of a Treasury-buying program and determine how the debt purchases should be paced. The Fed's bond purchases would be intended to lower long-term interest rates to stimulate buying and spending and help lower unemployment.

Those Treasury purchases would inject many more dollars into the financial system. And that poses a longer-term risk: High inflation...'

'...Finance has become the new mode of warfare – without the expense of military overhead and an occupation against unwilling hosts. It is a competition in credit creation to buy global real estate and natural resources, infrastructure, bonds and corporate stock ownership. Who needs an army when you can obtain monetary wealth and asset appropriation simply by financial means? Victory promises to go to the economy whose banking system can create the most credit, using an army of computer keyboards to appropriate the world’s resources.



The main hurdle confronting this financial Lebensraum drive is that it requires the central banks of targeted economies to accept electronic dollar credit of depreciating international worth in payment for national assets. U.S. officials demonize countries suffering these dollar inflows as aggressive “currency manipulators” for what Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner calls “‘competitive nonappreciation,’ in which countries block their currencies from rising in value.” Oscar Wilde would have struggled to find a more convoluted term for other countries protecting themselves from raiders trying to force up their currencies to make enormous predatory fortunes. “Competitive nonappreciation” sounds like “conspiratorial non-suicide.” These countries simply are trying to protect their currencies from arbitrageurs and speculators flooding their financial markets with dollars, sweeping their currencies up and down to extract billions of dollars from their central banks.



Their central banks are being forced to choose between passively letting these inflows push up their exchange rates – thereby pricing their exports out of foreign markets – or recycling these inflows into U.S. Treasury bills yielding only 1% with declining exchange value. (Longer-term bonds risk a price decline if U.S interest rates should rise.)



The euphemism for flooding economies with credit is “quantitative easing.” The Federal Reserve is pumping a tidal wave of liquidity and reserves into the financial system to reduce interest rates, ostensibly to enable banks to “earn their way” out of negative equity resulting from the bad loans made during the real estate bubble. This liquidity is spilling over to foreign economies, increasing their exchange rates.
