| Banker Gold Price Suppression Currency Manipulations Have Persisted for 50 years |
| This 1967 meeting of the FOMC nearly 46 years ago is clear and indisputable evidence of gold price suppression and currency manipulation of the world's "free" and "open" market exchanges.
This criminal cabal has certainly built up their mechanisms since this time to conceal their sinister scheme from issuing dishonest money. It's blatant now and all of "in your face" is their behavioral response to inquiry. Damn the torpedoes, full steam ahead.

 Fielding my grandson’s questions about gold and banking |
| My grandson had quite a day at school.He had learned that the economy had been suffering from things called Panics, capital P, during the 19th century and had another big one in the early 20th century.He had been told that responsible, public-spirited men like J. P. Morgan had organized a central bank to prevent those Panics.He and other bankers finally got the government to go along with their idea and pass it into law in late 1913.And wouldn’t you know it — we’ve had no more Panics since then.Thursday, December 24, 2020 |

The full guide to Nazi gold and currency war  |
| This morning’s papers and news-shows are full of the story that in 1939 the Bank of England facilitated the sale of Nazi looted gold, not just once but at least twice during that year. Both times without approval of the British government, despite an attempt to freeze Czech assets.
The story of Nazi gold is both fascinating and tragic. We take a look at ‘the greatest robbery of all time’ and draw parallels with the modern day gold migration.

| A new study has found a jump in New York City taxi cab activity between the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and major Wall Street banks around the time of central bank policy meetings, and the study's author says the findings suggest an increase in informal communications between Fed employees and individuals in the private sector could be occurring.
The New York Fed strenuously disputed the study's assertions.

| Currency exchange value dynamics |
| In a recent article[i] I postulated that the dollar could lose all its purchasing power with a rapidity that will come as an unpleasant bombshell, even to those who already see inflation as society’s greatest problem in the future. The key to understanding why this may be so lies in human reactions to the monetary consequences of the next credit crisis. The undermining of the dollar as a currency affects all other fiat currencies, because it is the reserve currency and all financial markets use Thursday, March 1, 2018 |

| US Gold Reserves, Of Immense Interest to Russia and China |
| Recently, Russian television network RT extensively quoted me in a series of articles about the US Government’s gold reserves. The RT articles, published on the RT.com website, were based on a series of questions RT put to me about various aspects of the official US gold reserves. These gold reserves are held by the US Treasury, mostly in the custody of the US Mint. The US Mint is a branch of the US Treasury.
The first of these articles, published by RT on 30 December 2017, is titled “US gold ofFriday, January 19, 2018 |

exist for a single reason - to inflate the supply of paper currency.
They are a currency-creating and currency-inflating institution.
This serves two interest groups in the main. One is the fractional-reserve
banks that they regulate. The other is the government that created
them.

the alternative to a central bank is to be subject to the forces

| FLASH: Wall Street Journal acknowledges gold leasing and swaps question ... |
| * * *
In the report appended here the newspaper gets a Fed official to say that the Fed does not lease the gold of other nations. Well, of course not. But do those other nations lease or swap gold, or did they? And does the U.S. government lease or swap gold, or did it? If so, why?
The president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, William Dudley, was asked that question in public last year and ran away from it as fast as he could. It's on video:
