  1. Hi John and Catherine,

    Would either of you recommend The Creature from Jekyll by G. Edward Griffin as a book worth reading to understand some of the history of the Fed?

    Thank you!

  2. Am I the only one who is moved nearly to tears at the end when the music starts and the they sign off?

  3. When I read Whitney Webb’s article about the New Asset Class, I interpreted it as creating a way to own the air, water and carbon without actually owning the land. If they can separate ownership into parts like that, the owner of air, water, and carbon can sue the land owner claiming their “use” of the land impacts them. It may be a sneaky way to acquire the land.

    It reminds me of the Canadian farmer who was sued by Monsanto for patent infringement when their pollen escaped to his farm and cross pollinated his corn. As I recall, the expensive legal battle with them cost him his farm and he lost the lawsuit.

    Lawyers, in the US, are taught that the original grant of title to land must originate from the US government. Without the original grant, title is defective. If they separate air, water, carbon from the land itself, the original grant would come from the US government.

  4. “Every year the Social Security Administration adjusts the amount that it pays beneficiaries based on the year-on-year increase of the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) from the third quarter. Wednesday morning the US Bureau of Labor Statistics released the data from September showing an increase of 5.9 percent.“

    1. I am wondering why Mr Weidmann, Head of Bundesbank, resigned a few days ago. Ideas?

        1. which makes sense since Mr Weidmann has always been an advocate for a stable currency with stable prices.

      1. You are welcome! Rather, thank you for all the fantastic information you provide. I’ll drop you a note down the line if I can write more on this. My impression is Central Banks have been captured by a CB-bodysnatcher — some outside entity completely runs the show now without even trying to maintain the public appearance of academic research guiding policy. This sets the stage for another 1930s sleight of hand–this time with digital taking the place of paper notes, I am afraid.
