Fed Chief Pranked Into Truth

In a stunning turn of events, a Russian radio-show host pulled a fast one on Fed Chair Jerome Powell, pranking him into admitting that rate hikes will continue into the future.

The prankster, who was impersonating Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky in a phone interview, obtained the revelation from Powell that had not been made public, even in response at a Congressional hearing. The Russian impersonator had previously pranked such high-ranking officials as former French President Francois Hollande and European Central Bank head Christine Lagarde.

Josh Sigurdson welcomes The Liberty Advisor’s Tim Picciott to discuss the admission, plus other financial matters.

Power Players Behind Epstein

Whitney Webb, one of the foremost investigative journalists exploring the world of Jeffrey Epstein, joins the Kim Iversen Show to take a closer look at Epstein’s involvement with Jamie Dimon, the CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase. Dimon, for all intents and purposes, is the most powerful contemporary banking figure in the United States.

He exerts much control over the New York Fed, the cornerstone branch of the Federal Reserve. He also is charting the course for Central Bank Digital Currency, or CBDC.

Webb gives us an overview on how the intelligence agencies, multinational corporations and organized crime work in cahoots with each other. These unholy allies dictate so much in the world — not only orchestrating finances, but also government policies as well as criminal activity, including sex trafficking.

Now, we’re seeing their illicit system come crashing down — its rough edges exposed and left festering. It’s time, says Webb, to “build parallel systems” and attempt to decentralize the power.

Operation Choke Point 2.0

The specter of Operation Choke Point 2.0 has just been raised in a recent House Financial Services Committee meeting. But what was Operation Choke Point 1.0? And why should we be concerned about this latest attempt to debank “disfavored individuals,” anyway? Find out all the details in this week’s edition of The Corbett Report podcast.

The Dollar Is Doomed!

World Alternative Media’s Jason Sigurdson reports that the dollars is being devastated in light of yet another interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.

Sigurdson says the 0.75 percent hike pushes the rate to its highest level since 2008 in what he calls the controlled collapse  of the global economy, the world reserve currency and the move into a new world reserve currency. Here’s his report.

Fed’s Biggest Lie Yet

Financial guru Mark Moss says  the Federal Reserve has been lying to us for as long as he can remember, including the recent fairy tales about a looming recession.

Moss says former Fed chiefs Ben Bernanke and Janice Yellen promised the country’s financial future was on solid ground before subsequent collapses. And now Fed chair Jerome Powell is doubling down, claiming the economy remains in good standing. Is this the biggest lie from the Federal Reserve yet, or are these alleged leaders just plain incompetent? More from Moss.

Stock Market Crisis

On Friday, February 2nd, 2018, Janet Yellen served her last day as Chair of the United States Federal Reserve, with Jerome Powell set to be sworn in as her replacement on Monday, February 5th, 2017. Under Yellen’s leadership, the Federal Reserve had planned three interest rate hikes in 2018 – decisions that would have a major impact on the world economy and the immediate future of the United States.

It didn’t take long for now-former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to speak publicly, and on Sunday February 4th, 2018, she commented on the current value of the stock market: “Well, I don’t want to say too high. But I do want to say high. Price-earnings ratios are near the high end of their historical ranges. If you look at commercial real estate prices, they are quite high relative to rents. Now, is that a bubble or is too high? And there it’s very hard to tell. But it is a source of some concern that asset valuations are so high.”

As new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was sworn in on Monday February 5th, 2018, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by almost 1,600 – about 6% – before recovering with a total decline of 1,179 points by the end of the day. All major indexes felt losses with the Nasdaq Composite falling by 3.8%, the S&P 500 decreased by 4% and the broad Russell 2000 dropped by 2.9%.

The uncertainly over future monetary policy decisions by incoming Federal Reserve decision makers (three vacancies at the Fed have yet to be filled by President Trump’s administration) and Yellen’s outgoing commentary unquestionably influenced the recent market drop – but the full story is far more complicated. Stefan Molyneux has more.
