Blogger Ben’s Basically Full Of It
Blogger Ben’s Basically Full Of It Ben Bernanke’s skin is as thin, apparently, as is his comprehension of honest economics.

US Economic Output – “Ugly, but Fleeting”?
US Economic Output – “Ugly, but Fleeting”? On the Uselessness of Aggregate Economic Statistics We actually hate talking about GDP.

When Exactly Will the Fed Launch QE4? Money From Nowhere On Friday, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq closed at record highs. It’s the first time both indexes have done so since December 31, 1999.

The Global Liquidity Squeeze Has Begun
The Global Liquidity Squeeze Has Begun Get ready for another major worldwide credit crunch. Today, the entire global financial system resembles a colossal spiral of debt.

‘It’s our money’ podcast: be educated on monetary/credit reform or continue looting by oligarchs Human beings are looted by asset-hole oligarchs literally by the trillions every year.

Human beings will either continue being looted and lied-to, or earn voices for justice from basic education that […]

We emphasize “identical” here because […]

“There Are Big, Big Problems” – The Shocker Crushing The Economy Revealed We are grateful to Alexander Giryavets at Dynamika Capital for pointing us to something which is far more troubling than even the Atlanta Fed’s collapse in Q1 GDP tracking: namely the latest Credit Managers Index for the month of March which “deteriorated significantly over the last two months […]
The Tyranny of Convenience
The Tyranny of Convenience Our lives are ridiculously convenient in this day and age, and much of the consumer economy seems to be directed at making life ‘easier’ still. It seems that the more convenient life becomes, the more need there is for more convenience. Anything is possible in this technological age and if it can’t be […]

The Fed Has Failed the Nation, in One Chart
The Fed Has Failed the Nation, in One Chart There is only one way to end the financial tyranny of the Federal Reserve–abolish it, and put an end to the predatory pathologies of its policies. The Federal Reserve has failed not just the nation and the U.S. economy, but more importantly, the American people that […]
The American Dream – Moonshine and Scam
The American Dream – Moonshine and Scam Infection When we left you yesterday, we were trying to connect the bloated, cankerous ankles of the US economy to the sugar rush of its post-1971 credit-based money system.
