  • DIRECTING the Disorder the CFR Is the Deep State Powerhouse Undoing and Remaking Our World
    DEEP STATE DIRECTING THE Disorder The CFR is the Deep State powerhouse undoing and remaking our world. 2 by William F. Jasper The nationalist vs. globalist conflict is not merely an he whole world has gone insane ideological struggle between shadowy, unidentifiable and the lunatics are in charge of T the asylum. At least it looks that forces; it is a struggle with organized globalists who have way to any rational person surveying the very real, identifiable, powerful organizations and networks escalating revolutions that have engulfed the planet in the year 2020. The revolu- operating incessantly to undermine and subvert our tions to which we refer are the COVID- constitutional Republic and our Christian-style civilization. 19 revolution and the Black Lives Matter revolution, which, combined, are wreak- ing unprecedented havoc and destruction — political, social, economic, moral, and spiritual — worldwide. As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design. Through all the fire and smoke we perceive the evidence of calculating organization.

  • Marriner S. Eccles and the 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord: Lessons for Central Bank Independence
    Working Paper No. 747 Marriner S. Eccles and the 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord: Lessons for Central Bank Independence by Thorvald Grung Moe* Levy Economics Institute of Bard College January 2013 * Thorvald Grung Moe is a senior adviser at Norges Bank, the central bank of Norway, and a research associate at the Levy Economics Institute. The views expressed in this paper are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the position of Norges Bank. The Levy Economics Institute Working Paper Collection presents research in progress by Levy Institute scholars and conference participants. The purpose of the series is to disseminate ideas to and elicit comments from academics and professionals. Levy Economics Institute of Bard College, founded in 1986, is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, independently funded research organization devoted to public service. Through scholarship and economic research it generates viable, effective public policy responses to important economic problems that profoundly affect the quality of life in the United States and abroad. Levy Economics Institute P.O. Box 5000 Annandale-on-Hudson, NY 12504-5000 http://www.levyinstitute.org Copyright © Levy Economics Institute 2013 All rights reserved ISSN 1547-366X ABSTRACT The 1951 Treasury – Federal Reserve Accord is an important milestone in central bank history. It led to a lasting separation between monetary policy and the Treasury’s debt-management powers, and established an independent central bank focused on price stability and macroeconomic stability. This paper revisits the history of the Accord and elaborates on the role played by Marriner Eccles in the events that led up to its signing. As chairman of the Fed Board of Governors since 1934, Eccles was also instrumental in drafting key banking legislation that enabled the Federal Reserve System to take on a more independent role after the Accord.

  • What Does Jerome Powell Know That William Mcchesney Martin Didn’T—And What Role Did Academic Research Play in That?
    What does Jerome Powell know that William McChesney Martin didn’t—and what role did academic research play in that? by Alan S. Blinder, Princeton University Griswold Center for Economic Policy Studies Working Paper No. 259, September 2019 Keynote lecture at the Money Macro and Finance Research Group’s 50th Anniversary Conference, London School of Economics, September 4-6, 2019. Forthcoming in The Manchester School. I thank Roger Ferguson, Chris Sims, and Janet Yellen for helpful conversations, but none of them is implicated in the opinions expressed here. It is indeed a pleasure for an old LSE alumnus like me (M.Sc., 1968) to return to help mark the 50th anniversary of the Money Macro and Finance Research Group. I actually have on my bookshelf a copy of Harry Johnson’s 1972 book, Macroeconomics and Monetary Theory (Johnson, 1972), which was based on his lectures at LSE during the 1969-1970 academic year. I presumably heard some of these lectures as a student two years earlier. But fifty years is a long time and memory fails. The world changes in 50 years. In 1969, the New York Jets won the Superbowl of American football and the New York Mets won the World Series of baseball—two huge upsets in the same year! The former has never reoccurred; the latter has been repeated only once. The year 1969 is perhaps most famous for astronaut Neil Armstrong’s walk on the moon—a remarkable feat that was accomplished five more times, but not since 1972. However, some aspects of the world don’t change much in a half-century.

And, there is no evidence that any of the administrations objected to this neglect. —Allan H. Meltzer (1991, 55) 4.1 Introduction The Bretton Woods Wxed- exchange- rate system attempted to maintain par values and promoted free cross- border Wnancial Xows while still allow- ing countries to promote domestic macroeconomic objectives, notably full employment. It hoped to do so by allowing countries to alter parities in the face of fundamental disequilibria and to temporarily impose restraints on Wnancial Xows. Whether such a system ever oVered a long- term, viable solu- tion to the fundamental trilemma of international Wnance seems unlikely, but more immediate Xaws shortened whatever longevity Bretton Woods may have had.

  • Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve
    P1: SBT 9780521881326pre CUNY1202/Hetzel 978 0 521 88132 6 February 25, 2008 16:9 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: SBT 9780521881326pre CUNY1202/Hetzel 978 0 521 88132 6 February 25, 2008 16:9 THE MONETARY POLICY OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve details the evolution of the monetary standard from the start of the Federal Reserve through the end of the Greenspan era. The book places that evolution in the context of the intellectual and political environment of the time. By understanding the fitful process of replacing a gold standard with a paper money standard, the conduct of monetary policy becomes a series of experiments useful for understanding the fundamental issues concerning money and prices. How did the recurrent monetary instability of the twentieth century relate to the economic instability and to the associated political and social turbulence? After the detour in policy represented by FOMC chairmen Arthur Burns and G. William Miller, Paul Volcker and Alan Greenspan established the monetary standard originally foreshadowed by William McChesney Martin, who became chairman in 1951. The Monetary Policy of the Federal Reserve explains in a straightforward way the emergence and nature of the modern, inflation-targeting central bank. Robert L. Hetzel is Senior Economist and Policy Adviser in the Research Depart- ment of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, where he has served for more than 30 years. Dr. Hetzel’s research has appeared in publications such as the Journal of Money, Credit, and Banking; the Journal of Monetary Economics; the Monetary and Economics Studies series of the Bank of Japan; and the Carnegie-Rochester Confer- ence Series.His writings provided one of the catalysts for the congressional hearings and treasury studies leading to the issuance of Treasury Inflation Protected Secu- rities, or TIPS.

    Who Controls The Gold Stealing New York Fed Bank? Presented January 2014 by Charles Savoie “WE HAVE THE QUESTION OF GOLD UNDER CONSTANT SURVEILLANCE. WE HAVE BEEN UNDER ATTACK BECAUSE OF OUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS GOLD. A FREE GOLD MARKET IS HERESY. THERE IS NO SENSE IN A MAKE BELIEVE FREE GOLD MARKET. GOLD HAS NO USEFUL PURPOSE TO SERVE IN THE POCKETS OF THE PEOPLE. THERE IS NO HIDDEN AGENDA.” ---Pilgrims Society member Allan Sproul, president of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 1941-1956. “ANY ATTEMPT TO WRITE UP THE PRICE OF GOLD WOULD ASSUREDLY BE MATCHED, WITHIN HOURS, BY COMPARABLE AND OFFSETTING ACTION.” ---Robert V.

Roosa was with the New York Federal Reserve Bank, 1946-1960 when he moved to Treasury to fight silver coinage! “The most powerful international society on earth, the “Pilgrims,” is so wrapped in silence that few Americans know even of its existence since 1903.” ---E.C.
