In my article \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.alt-market.com\/articles\/3379-new-fed-chairman-will-trigger-a-historic-stock-market-crash-in-2018\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Fed Chairman Will Trigger A Historic Stock Market Crash In 2018<\/a>\u2018, published in February, I predicted that the Fed would continue interest rate increases and balance sheet cuts throughout the year and they would knowingly initiate a crash in equities.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, this was not a very popular sentiment at the time, just as it wasn\u2019t popular when I predicted in 2015 that the Fed would launch\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/alt-market.com\/articles\/2695-the-real-reasons-why-the-fed-will-hike-interest-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interest rate hikes<\/a>\u00a0instead of going to negative rates in order to start a catalyst for economic crisis. The problem some people have with this concept is that they just can\u2019t fathom that the central bank would deliberately crash the system. They desperately cling to the notion that the Fed and other central banks want to keep the machine rolling forward at any cost. This is simply not true.<\/p>\n<p>The claim is that the banking elites are \u201crequired\u201d to keep the system propped up in a state of reanimation because they are reliant on the system to provide capital and thus \u201cinfluence.\u201d The people that assert this argument don\u2019t seem to understand how central banks operate.<\/p>\n<p>As most liberty activists should know by now, central banks are essentially a legally protected counterfeiting scheme. Using fractional reserve banking at a ratio that is secret, central banks create their own capital from thin air, and they can infuse capital into international banks at will when it suits their purposes. There is no \u201cprofit motive\u201d for the banking syndicate.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t Get Distracted By The Trump\/Fed Soap Opera &#8211; The Crash Will Continue At the beginning of 2018 I wrote extensively on what was likely to happen under the administration of Jerome Powell, the new Federal Reserve Chairman.
