  • 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.

  • Meet the New Boss, Same As the Old Boss (Part II)
    Samuel Miller CFA, CAIA Senior Analyst Deron T. McCoy CFA, CFP®, CAIA, AIF® Chief Investment Officer Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss (Part II) Four years ago in our December 2013 SEIA Report titled, “The Federal Reserve: Meet the New Boss, Same as the Old Boss”, we offered reasons why analyzing the human makeup of the Board is so important (hint: they more or less set monetary policy for the world, affecting global capital markets everywhere). We opined that the new incoming Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was very much in line with her predecessor and that her appointment was a “signal to all investors that easy monetary policy will be the policy of choice for the foreseeable future” and “short-term interest rates might be low for another three years extending through 2016.” We concluded by stating “Yellen’s policies should support ‘risk assets’ (Equities, High Yield Bonds, etc.) in the near term with her hopeful goal of higher inflation and economic overheating (not a typo) four years out which will in turn convolute her reappointment process (in 2017).” Four years have now passed and while we can claim victory on our assessment of the stock market, our view of an overheated economy came up a bit short. As such, the reappointment process caused nary a ripple in global markets as the new-new boss is the same as the old-old boss. Who is Jerome Powell? On November 2, 2017, President Trump nominated Jerome “Jay” Powell to be the next Fed chair, providing clarification for the market and lessening monetary policy uncertainty in the near and intermediate term.

  • The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve During the 1960S
    The Transformation of Economic Analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s by Juan Acosta and Beatrice Cherrier CHOPE Working Paper No. 2019-04 January 2019 The transformation of economic analysis at the Federal Reserve during the 1960s Juan Acosta (Université de Lille) and Beatrice Cherrier (CNRS-THEMA, University of Cergy Pontoise) November 2018 Abstract: In this paper, we build on data on Fed officials, oral history repositories, and hitherto under-researched archival sources to unpack the torturous path toward crafting an institutional and intellectual space for postwar economic analysis within the Federal Reserve. We show that growing attention to new macroeconomic research was a reaction to both mounting external criticisms against the Fed’s decision- making process and a process internal to the discipline whereby institutionalism was displaced by neoclassical theory and econometrics. We argue that the rise of the number of PhD economists working at the Fed is a symptom rather than a cause of this transformation. Key to our story are a handful of economists from the Board of Governors’ Division of Research and Statistics (DRS) who paradoxically did not always held a PhD but envisioned their role as going beyond mere data accumulation and got involved in large-scale macroeconometric model building. We conclude that the divide between PhD and non-PhD economists may not be fully relevant to understand both the shift in the type of economics practiced at the Fed and the uses of this knowledge in the decision making-process. Equally important was the rift between different styles of economic analysis. 1 I.

  • Chapter Two. the Origin of the World Bank
    CHAPTER TWO. THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD BANK. CHAPTER TWO THE ORIGIN OF THE WORLD BANK 2.1 AN INTRODUCTION TO THE WORLD BANK The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) is an institution, which was formed after the devastation of the economies of Europe, According to Harry Dexter White “No matter how long the war lasts nor how it is won, we shall be faced with three inescapable problems: to prevent the disruption of foreign exchange and the collapse of monetary and credit system to assure the restoration of foreign trade and to supply the huge volume of capital that will be needed virtually throughout the world for reconstruction, for relief and for economic recovery” 1. The idea of reconstruction was the first to be conceived, focusing only the involved allies in the war and not the rest of less developed countries. Together with its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), they were established 2. By December 31, 1945, 29 countries had approved the bank’s Articles of Agreement. In March 1946, the board of governors of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund were inaugurated in Savannah, where they adopted the institutions’ statute and elected the bank's executive directors. The board first met on May 7, 1946. The bank’s first president, Eugene Meyer, took office on June 18, and the bank opened its world headquarters at 1818 H Street, NW, Washington, DC, on June 25 1 946. They are what have come to be known as Bretton Woods institutions. But, later there was a greater need for the 73 IBRD to widen its goal by thinking beyond reconstruction.

After the United Kingdom suspended convertibility of sterling into gold (the bedrock of orthodox financial principles) in September 1931, American economic policymakers, including President Hoover and Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal Reserve Board, became , increasingly unorthodox in their prescriptions. Although central planning measures of the corporate state variety had manifested k themselves vigorously but briefly in policymaking circles during and immediately after World War I, the Harding, Coolidge, and early Hoover years were supposed to be a return to prewar anormalcy,m as the slogan associated with Barding's campaign had it.

  • Eugene I. Meyer, Jr. 1875–1959 Financier and Chinese Art Collector
    Eugene I. Meyer, Jr. 1875–1959 Financier and Chinese Art Collector Eugene Meyer, Jr., was descended from a distinguished Jewish family in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France. His father left France and established himself in California before settling in New York, where he became a partner in the distinguished financial firm of Lazard-Frères. Meyer attended the University of California, Berkeley, for one year and finished his undergraduate studies at Yale University in 1895. He traveled in Europe and worked at several banks before he founded his own highly successful equities firm in 1904. Meyer began collecting Asian art following his 1910 marriage to Agnes Ernst (1887–1970) and their honeymoon travels to Japan, Korea, and Russia. This interest grew when he and renowned collector Charles Lang Freer (1854–1919) served on a committee, jointly sponsored by the Archaeological Institute of America and the Smithsonian Institution, to establish the American School of Architecture in Peking and thus ensure the removal of Chinese art was handled by trained archaeologists. Although this effort proved unsuccessful, Meyer and Freer remained lifelong friends and mutual collectors of Asian art. Through most of their collecting career, Eugene and Agnes Meyer relied on Freer as a connoisseur of early Chinese art. They sometimes collaborated with Freer on purchases by negotiating the price and dividing the objects between their respective collections. In 1915, for example, dealer Marcel Bing in Paris owned an outstanding group of bronzes that were to be sold through C. T. Loo’s gallery. Freer led the negotiations with Bing, and Meyer advised on the transaction.
