the standard-bearer of corruption: NYFed-MorganChase

Bob Dinn at balance10 - 1 day ago
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York…has amassed enormous powers for itself since the Federal Reserve was created in 1913. Three of those powers dwarf all others: the ability to create money electronically at the push of a button; the accepted right to meddle in the markets; and the supervision of some of the largest bank holding companies in America. After Wall Street blew itself up under the indulging and incompetent supervision of the New York Fed in 2008 and it was exposed that the Fed had secretly created $29 trillion in electronic money to bail out zombie banks – most of that ... more »

North Korea Plans to Borrow China's Strategies in the Next Korean War

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 1 day ago

*Ryan Bourne* *Economics, Americas* [image: Reuters] Nothing alike. *Key point:* Saying a wealth tax is like a cigarette tax is bad economics and a bad comparison. Neil Irwin of the New York Times says Elizabeth Warren’s wealth tax should be thought of as akin to a cigarette tax, rather than an ordinary revenue raiser. The point of it, he says, is not just to raise some funds for new government programs, but to deter vast wealth accumulation in the first place. This, he concludes, makes it a Pigouvian tax. As with these types of taxes on cigarettes, its aim is in part to reduce... more »

*Daniel R. DePetris* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/2980144/161109-n-wa993-048] A stupid idea. *Key point (This First Appeared in 2017):* Political assassinations are illegal and killing Kim would likely start a nuclear war. When the first images of a sarin gas attack streamed into the White House Situation Room, President Donald Trump ordered his National Security Council to come back to him the next day with some concrete options.
