Federal Reserve Cartel: Legalized Plunder of We the People


While Alchemists have long dreamed of turning base metals into Gold, The owners of the Private Bank known as The Federal Reserve have achieved the ultimate magic trick of turning mere paper into gold. G. Edward Griffin, Author of The Creature from Jekyll Island exposes the fraud that is the FED, with a dire warning that the economic policies of the Federal Reserve Cartel will result in the total economic destruction of the American people who are being legally plundered by our collective illusion that the FED is a legitimate Government Agency.


Why did I name my magzaine "The Reporter from Jekyll Island"?


I do not live on Jekyll Island. I have never even visited Jekyll Island which is off the coastline of Georgia.


The name of this magazine is a play on the title of the  masterful book by G. Edward Griffin called 'The Creature from Jekyll Island'.


I read the book early on, but am re-reading the 5th edition now.  The creature in the title is the Federal Reserve.

Elizabeth Warren says U.S. economy succeeds only with government regulation

Elizabeth Warren says U.S. economy succeeds only with government regulation | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

If it wasn’t for the federal government, United States companies would produce items that could sicken, wound or even kill American consumers, according to Massachusetts Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren.

 

In prepared remarks Thursday regarding the nomination of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), which were first reported on Politico, Warren stated that the only way the U.S. has succeeded has been through government intervention and regulation.

Federal Reserve policies hurt the poor

Federal Reserve policies hurt the poor | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

If you really care about economic justice, you should be aware of one of the worst (and least discussed) corporate welfare schemes in history. Below is a simple outline of the modern-day process:

 

1. The Federal Reserve prints money.

 

2. The Federal Reserve loans out this money to the biggest banks well below all consumer interest rates (currently at 0 percent).

 

3. Savings rates drop. (Banks don't want to pay your for your money when they can get money at 0 percent interest from the Fed.)

 

The banks invest this money however they see fit. In a practically risk-free scenario, they invest the money in treasury bonds (a loan to the government), which currently pay slightly more than 3 percent per year.

At this point, the money is injected into the economy. Since the supply of money has risen, inflation occurs.

End the Fed » Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names

End the Fed » Counterpunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

The Federal Reserve is supporting and maintaining a system of finance capitalism that by the ‘rules’ of capitalism should have disappeared in 2008. Wall Street, with its outposts now circling the globe, claims its ‘due’ under the premise its system of savage capitalism—permanent displacement of labor, evisceration of restrictions on activities businesses can and cannot engage in, planet-wide shifting of business costs from capital to unaffiliated citizenries, effective takeover of governments and the systematic ‘harvesting’ of constituent value from institutions built in social contexts from social resources, now asks that the rules it has put forth not be applied to it. And the Federal Reserve is the central entity keeping this system alive and intact as a permanent ward of its victims: we, the people.

Consumer confidence plunges as inflation increases most in four years

Consumer confidence plunges as inflation increases most in four years | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

Apparently paying  higher gas prices, more for groceries, and higher taxes is not giving consumers very much confidence in the economy as the UMich Consumer Sentiment index dropped to the lowest point in February since December 2011.  Clearly Americans are worried about an economic collapse, as they should be.

 

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that consumer prices increased by the most in February in four years with gas prices being the main factor.  They say this is “temporary” inflation though.  That’s doubtful since there are no signs of the Fed letting up with its aggressive money printing.

How did Iceland recover? Report from Davos | Beyond Money | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

In this three-minute interview, Iceland’s President Olafur Ragnar Grimson explains that their recovery from the economic crisis was based on actions that went against the orthodox prescriptions–Let the banks fail, introduce currency controls, provide support for the poor, don’t push austerity measures. Why are banks the “holy churches of the economy?”

Rethinking Money: How Different Types of Money Will Stabilize the Economy - Huffington Post

Rethinking Money: How Different Types of Money Will Stabilize the Economy - Huffington Post | The Reporter from Jekyll Island | Scoop.it

Representative Bob Marshall's (R) announced recentlythat he is proposing legislation for a third time to study the creation of an "alternate" Virginia state currency of gold and silver coins as part of a growing trend in the United States. Some 16 states in the union already have passed legislation, or are in the process of doing so, that would create a state currency. This development spreads as concerns and fears grow that the Federal Reserve System may fail, either through hyperinflation, a calling in of U.S. debt by another country, or through some other failure, causing the U.S. monetary system to collapse.
