The Great Immoderation: How The Fed Is Sowing The Next Recession
The Great Immoderation: How The Fed Is Sowing The Next Recession In February 2004 Ben Bernanke famously declared the business cycle had been tamed and took a bow in behalf of enlightened monetary management, claiming it was the principal source of this beneficent development.

The Fed Blew It
The Fed Blew It The Fed had multiple opportunities to let the air out of unsustainable asset bubbles by notching interest rates higher and tapering its asset purchases (QE).

Happy 6th Birthday: The Day FASB Folded & “Mark-To-Fantasy” Was Born The captured corporate MSM is celebrating the six year anniversary of when the stock market bottomed in March 2009. They will spin a false narrative of Bernanke, Obama and Geithner saving the world with TARP, QE, and the $800 billion Porkulus bill. What great heroes. […]

Don’t Be Fooled by the Federal Reserve’s Anti-Audit Propaganda
Don’t Be Fooled by the Federal Reserve’s Anti-Audit Propaganda In recent weeks, the Federal Reserve and its apologists in Congress and the media have launched numerous attacks on the Audit the Fed legislation.

At the Fed in 2009, Rolling Dice in a Crisis Ben Bernanke and his colleagues at the Federal Reserve Board have earned accolades from all corners for the extraordinary actions they took to rescue the financial system in 2009.

Ukraine, Neocons and Neonazis
Ukraine, Neocons and Neonazis See, by now you would think that anyone who reads that all 31 US banks that were tested have passed the Fed stress test, knows this says absolutely nothing about the banks, but all the more about the test. You would think. But the media try – and succeed – to […]
