LinkedInOn Friday's News and Views from the Nefarium (May 3, 2013), and again yesterday, I presented the thesis that the vast hidden system of finance developed after World War Two must be viewed in the larger context of what it was used for, namely, a vast political covert operations slush fund and the creation of a black research projects empire, a technocracy having access to almost unimaginable technology. As such, it constitutes a key pillar of post-war Western, and American, power. To raise doubts about the financial element is to imperil all the other elements, and hence, the western … [Read more...]
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS ON THAT GOLD THING
April 25, 2013 By
Former advisor to President Ronald Reagan, Paul Craig Roberts has weighed in on the big sell-off in paper-gold and paper-silver last Monday that occurred suspiciously prior to the Boston Marathon Bombing, and this one is worth p0ndering folks: Update to the Update: The Attack on Gold — Paul Craig Roberts Now, I have to doff my hat to Roberts for calling it like it really is: "Now, to protect its bank rescue policy, the Fed is attempting to drive down the price of bullion, thus depriving Americans of any way of protecting their life savings from the inflation that the Fed’s money … [Read more...]
EVEN ALAN GREENSPAN IS CHALLENGING THE RATIONALE FOR THE FED
April 2, 2013 By
This article at The Daily Bell is worth pondering closely and carefully, for it might be indicative of further fissures and faultlines within the international banksters' globaloney "community", or it might be indicative of what they're really up to (we'll get to that after the article), or it might be indicative, in that quintessential Hegelian way, of both. There are, in fact, two sentences in particular in this article, that incline me to think it is both. First, the article: Greenspan Discusses the End of the Fed ... What Comes Next? I have to admit, there are a number of … [Read more...]
MONEY MISCELLANIES, OR, SIGNS THAT NOT ALL IS WELL IN BANKSTERDOM
April 1, 2013 By
What has been very interesting to me in recent months is how the dynamic of this site has changed, and the give-and-take and feedback that occurs here, as so many of you are sending me articles that, in the group dynamic of things, I never could possibly have found on my own. One of the areas that many of you are tracking and sending me articles on is the financial sector, and in some cases it makes blogging difficult, because in reviewing what you send me, it is forcing me to see threads and connections. This day's blog is a case in point. As I was reviewing all the articles, thinking … [Read more...]
TIDBIT: THOUGHTS ON THE KENNEDY BEARER BONDS FROM A READER
February 11, 2013 By
This email came to me from Mr. M.W., and with his permission, I am sharing it here with all of you, because I thought the ideas and thoughts in it were very much in line with the thinking I've been developing in the Bearer Bonds story. Here's Mr. W.'s email: Hello Joseph Farrell: I am enjoying your book! I have an idea about the Kennedy Bond. 1) The Space Shuttle is out of time sequence done on purpose. There was no shuttle at the time of Kennedy. This is a juxtaposition designed to i) render the bond questionable ii) serve as a warning If one … [Read more...]
GOLD AND THE FUTURE OF THE DOLLAR
January 21, 2013 By
This is a very interesting paper from the "Official Monetary and Financial Institutions forum", if you have the time to read it, because it provides a very different perspective on what may be going on: Gold, the renminbi and the multi-currency reserve system I want to direct your attention, however, to some of the conclusions it reaches on page 32, which may be summarized as follows: "Gold will play a greater role in the future than today – but not a dominant one." With this, I tend to agree, but for very different reasons than given in the report, namely, that as the readers of … [Read more...]
TRILLION DOLLAR COINS?
January 11, 2013 By
In case you haven't heard, and you may not have if you've been watching the bloviators on CNN or Faux News, there is a move afoot to mint one trillion dollar coins. You heard me, that's right, one trillion dollars. (But hey, a trillion dollars is chump change compared to the quadrillions of dollars in toxic derivatives right? And by the way, whathappened to all those derivatives anyway? They dropped off the radar faster than a lead 747). Anyway, RT is reporting on this trillion dollar coin: Obama to pay US debt with trillion-dollar coins? Now, if you're like me, you may have smelled … [Read more...]
THEY’RE BAAACK: OF BEARER BONDS, HURRICANES, AND SHADOW BANKING: PART TWO
November 25, 2012 By
Yesterday, you'll recall, I pointed out the inconvenient resemblance of the New York Post's picture of a one hundred million dollar Federal Reserve bearer bond, and that associated with the Filipino Bearer Bond Scandal, and the inconvenient questions it raised (and let's be honest here... you all thought of these questions too): Were the soggified hurricanized $70,000,000,000 bearer bonds on Wall Street any portion of the bonds from the Japanese, Spanish, Italian, or Filipino Bearer Bonds scandals? If so, how the heck did they get into the vault of the Depository Trust and Clearing … [Read more...]
THEY’RE BAAACK: OF BEARER BONDS, HURRICANES, AND SHADOW BANKING: PART ONE
November 24, 2012 By
Last Thursday night (that would be the evening of Thanksgiving, Nov 22, 2012), I did a brief News and Views from the Nefarium on the most recent chapter of the Bearer Bonds saga, you know, those mysterious bearer bonds that seem to keep cropping up at the most inopportune times, raising all sorts of inconvenient questions. First we had the Japanese Bearer Bond scandal, where two allegedly Japanese men were apprehended by the Italian Guadia di Finanza, Italy's elite financial police, at the border town of Ponte di Chiasso. They were (if you'll recall the story), aboard a commuter train into … [Read more...]
