Pundits everywhere, but where's the through line?

Tired of receiving links to analysis that is quickly outdated?

If you follow a number of news sites that analyze ongoing political and economic events and are disappointed to see the various prognoses fail to hold up over time, then it’s likely that the pundits don’t understand the underlying power structure and the objectives of those who are running the show.

The remedy is not complicated; in fact, the data outlining the power structure that dominates nations which have privately owned central banks (US, UK, most of the EU, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia, et al.) is publicly available, if you know where to look.

Let’s begin with a peer-reviewed study, found on the Cornell University arxiv.org website, posted by three complex systems analysts from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. Using an algorithm that parsed the connections between directors of the 43,060 largest transnational corporations on the planet, the study found that no more than 147 publicly held holding companies control the core of the global corporate system, and that it is likely that less than a half dozen privately held holding companies control these 147 public entities. This consolidation has also been verified by a Princeton/Northwestern study (and here), as well as the New York Times bestseller, Thomas Piketty's Capital in the Twenty-First Century (and here).

The next logical question would be, “How did such a consolidation occur?” The answer is private control over the world’s key central banks, beginning with the Federal Reserve System. A lot of propaganda has been written which claims that the Federal Reserve System is a government entity, based on the law which created the system, wherein the President appoints the governing board, but this is nothing other than a smokescreen, designed by the representatives of a few key banking families, who wrote the legislation.

In addition to a former chief counsel and a former chairman of the Fed being on record as saying that the Fed is privately owned, and the Supreme Court ruling the same, in 1976 the United States House of Representatives Committee on Banking commissioned a study to determine if the private parties who designed and controlled the Fed in 1913 still ruled over it. The findings of that study not only indicated that the same families still controlled it, but actually revealed the details of how they control it through the interlocking directorates of the various banks involved.

What this government study tells us is that the Fed is the source employed by a few families to gain control over the key global corporate and government assets on the planet. Unlike other private central banks of past empires, the Federal Reserve System not only controls the money supply for the world’s largest economy, but it also became the world reserve currency in the early ‘50’s. As a result, those who own the Fed may literally print money into circulation and distribute it to themselves without ever having to be audited—with one minor exception in 2010, which details how the Fed replenished foreign and domestic banks with $16 trillion at near zero interest (see below for page 131 of the General Accounting Office report on the Fed data). At the time, this was greater than the so-called U.S. debt, which shows you how quickly the world could change, if the central bank truly belonged to the people of the U.S.A.

Of course, buying up the world can be expensive, which means printing a lot of Federal Reserve Notes (FRNs). So, to avoid hyperinflation, the group that creates this false value (that is, capital created from nothing, backed by zero labor) must destroy massive amounts of money (that is, real value created by labor), to avoid hyperinflating the currency (see Step 1—Exposing the Story of Money and Usury). This is why the financiers have, on the average, crashed the economy every 5 plus years since the Fed was created. (This is why those for whom Trump is fronting don’t care about wrecking the US and global economy.)

Next, looking at the political, economic, social, and military powers exercised by the U.S. government, it is easy to see that current policies serve what the foregoing studies reveal as the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel and its corporations, not the people of these United States of America.

For example, every nation destroyed since 9-11 (Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria etc.) controlled its own central bank and currency, and the five sovereign nations left (Iran, Yemen, North Korea, Cuba, and Sudan) comprise the official enemies list and find themselves in the crosshairs of the cartel’s military and intelligence forces.

Here’s a good example of how this works: The cartel transfers money and arms to Israel, and sells arms to Saudi Arabia. The public sees that as an outrageous transfer of their tax dollars or objectionable foreign policy decisions, but the cartel sees these actions as interdepartmental transfers between subsidiaries.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg, because equally vast sums, trillions of dollars, have been transferred from the Pentagon into black ops for the development of technology that is hidden from the public for decades. By this we don’t mean just the Space Program, but a range of weapons programs as well as PSYOPS apps, such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon, and hardware and software that provides back doors to various operating platforms, such as Windows and iOS.

It is often difficult for moral people to get their heads around the behavior of amoral sociopaths and psychopaths, who define themselves by their crimes against humanity which they perpetrate around the globe.

We need look no further than the 80 or so legal proceedings that are listed in a post we updated for five years (2013-18) to see that the business model of private banking is fraud. Basically, the pattern is: steal hundreds of billions, or a few trillion, dollars; gather the so-called regulators in one room; get fined mills on the dollar, which becomes a minor expense of doing business; and repeat. Now, after a period of meaningless fines and hand-slapping, the cartel no longer pretends there is any regulation; thus the lawsuits have abated and the crimes continue 24/7.

All of this is summed up in one quote from David Rockefeller. We were once challenged on the veracity of this quote, so I found the sources in the Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris. Here’s what Rockefeller said:

"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. We would have found it quite impossible to develop our global project if we had been subject to the public spotlight during these years. But, the world has grown more sophisticated and willing to move towards a global government that no longer knows war, but only peace and prosperity for all of humanity. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national self-determination practiced in past centuries." ¹

There’s the bottom line: David Rockefeller admitting in 1991 to a conspiracy, which means what I have outlined is not a theory, but based on fact, and that the application of the term "conspiracy theory" to this analysis is nothing but ad hominem, that is, a logical fallacy.

Going back to our initial question at the top, the through line in analyzing the global political economy is the objectives of a small group of financiers who control money creation in their public-sector subsidiaries (the US, UK, most of the EU, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia, et al.).

Of course, if it were obvious that these folks “behind the curtain” were running the show, then the illusion that they have created—of democratic republics, verifiable voting, factual media, educational inquiry, etc.—would collapse.

This is why so many pundits get it wrong, or only half right—because they do not understand the agenda of the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel; for example, tariffs. The questions being asked go no deeper than the effectiveness of tariffs: Do they work?; Will they cause a recession?; etc. But such speculation misses the key shifts in the global economy and the balance of power.

In our recent post, “Carving the world into three blocs,” we reference an article that discusses whether there is a a grand bargain in the works between US, China, and Russia. If so, this would bring an end to the financiers dream of global hegemony and require the US to move much of its manufacturing from China back to the states. Tariffs are needed in order to accomplish this, since price protection of domestic products is the only way to make these goods competitive with what is produced by cheaper foreign labor.

Trump’s gobbledygook-filled explanations for tariffs and other policies are just smokescreens for the actual objectives of the cartel.
