Political independence? Really?
Within 2 months following this tweet the Fed has cut rates for a total of 75 basis points, introduced repo, $60B a month in treasury bills buying & now expanded their balance sheet by $280B in 2.5 months
I submit the Fed did exactly what was asked. https://t.co/ZQneBqfj0h— Sven Henrich (@NorthmanTrader) November 27, 2019
QE creates artificial numbers for short term market gains. https://t.co/ISHw2Seey8

The Fed’s actions are just theater.
Unless the Fed board is full of morons, which I doubt, they know they don’t have the tools to make the impossible possible. The decades long term trend is hyper inflation and they are just going to quicken the pace towards that ultimate end.
They’ll try this or that ‘policy’ and at base it’s just more currency printing that is having an ever diminished positive effect.
Somewhere a cabal of banksters and political swine are trying to come up with a replacement system for fiat ‘money’ that still leaves them in control. Given the ignorance of the general population concerning how central banking guarantees their slavery, the voting public will go along with the replacement system that must appear after the reset.
The only thing that could upset their plans would be for some major country or countries to declare commodity (gold, silver, etc) based currency. Then the race would be on for which currency could claim to be the strongest as opposed to today’s push to see who can win the race to the bottom.
With unprecedented debt and deficits and defaults, why not deflation?
Deflation will definitely happen. As buyers disappear from the market due to uncertainty, those needing to sell will start reducing prices to find a buyer. That’s a given. This will start a downward spiral for all things that are routinely traded.
The precious metals will be an exception. Some high priced goods sought after by the rich will also retain value as large quantities of green pieces of paper go searching for tangible goods to purchase. Sitting on a few million and don’t have a yacht, get one. Anything will be better than holding on to green paper.
For the bulk of the population, deflation will be a killer. Houses will lose value like a falling rock. Many will be ‘underwater’ and won’t be able to sell because they’ll owe the bank more than the sale price provides. Loan defaults will skyrocket. Average cars, houses, boats, planes, etc will lose value for lack of qualified buyers.
It’s all a timing thing. As deflation rips up the marketplace, the value of the currency will come into question and sellers won’t want the green pieces of paper knowing that prices for survival goods are rising. The price for a house goes down as the price of food goes up.
When it hits, if you can’t ride out the realignment of market force, you’re road kill. Dump green pieces of paper now for precious metals and tangible goods that you can use to survive the crisis. Get out of the cities where the riots are sure to start as the entitled realize that their free ride is being curtailed. Get weaponry and ammo as insurance.
Thank you for your reply and explanation. I try and keep myself limber and hedged at all times.
SeeBee.
We are in deflation right now. It’s being called inflation to avoid telling the public they are being robbed. The value of the dollar is being deflated not inflated. Prices are going up because the dollar is deflated in value. Debased in value is more truthful because it’s deliberate. We are essentially getting pay cuts and or hidden taxation by way of some of the value of the dollar you have has been lopped off .
I try to wrap my head around it. Some things just seem counter intuitive. Like negative interest rates. As much as I try….it’s not easy for me to grasp the concept.
We are in the midst of a stealth dollar default and reset to gold at real market prices.
This is not inflation, it’s deflation of the value of each dollar. “They” call it inflation to avoid having to call it dollar debasement or an additional Federal Tax. A world Tax in fact. As long as the Petro Dollar is the world reserve currency, the entire world is being taxed by the FED by way of devaluing each dollar already in existence. They are not going to give up that tax without a full spectrum war. II, III, IV, and fifth generation warfare. We are in the midst of it right now.
CC Rider posted an excellent 47 minute video explaining how we are no longer allowed to know where all this money is going. It ain’t going to us.
Roughly the same time the Trump admin said Israeli West Bank settlements are legal, but probably just a coincidence. Wonder what else has been exchanged by the master negotiator for the fed to step back on the go pedal?
The best part of Trump’s non-stop whining about the Fed and their acquiescence is that it finally IS exposing the complete and total lack of “independence” of the worthless and criminal Federal Reserve.
The bullshit moves by the Fed are going to happen anyway. The more they outwardly look like they are tied to the demands of the president, Wall Street, or whomever, the better.
