The Animated Federal Reserve For Dummies (Literally)

Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/28/2011 17:47 -0400

From the bears who explained Quantitative Easing, we now get a crash test dummy simplifying the Federal Reserve's current outlook on life, the universe and everything, courtesy of yesterday's press conference. All confusion abandon ye who enter.

I think WAR is the best idea. Spend our silver on cruise missiles. Blow shit up and then employ BILLIONS of the survivors to pick shit up! Instant stimulus. God, I can't wait until we are all rolling in wealth created out of destruction. And the cherry on top is that it's just so damn easy to create wealth. There hasn't been a good war since WWII - and that's why our economy is suffering. Time to kill!

Don't worry we can always raise the margin request to fight commodity surge. We've just raised the margin on silver for the ... uh... uh ... how many times is that? I lose count already. Hmmm, what's the definition of insanity again?

Well never mind. Summer of recovery 2.0 is straight ahead so cheer up.

The Four Horsemen have interlocking directorates with the international mega-banks. Exxon Mobil shares board members with JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, Royal Bank of Canada and Prudential. Chevron Texaco has interlocks with Bank of America and JP Morgan Chase. BP Amoco shares directors with JP Morgan Chase. RD/Shell has ties with Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase, N. M. Rothschild & Sons and Bank of England.

Former Citibank chairman Walter Shipley sat on Exxon Mobil’s board, as did Wayne Calloway of Citigroup and Allen Murray of JP Morgan Chase. Willard Butcher of Chase sat on the board of Chevron Texaco. Former Fed chairman Alan Greenspan came from Morgan Guaranty Trust and served on the board of Mobil. BP Amoco director Lewis Preston went on to become president of the World Bank.

Other BP Amoco directors have included Sir Eric Drake, the #2 man at the world’s largest port operator P&O Nedlloyd and a director at Hudson Bay Company and Kleinwort Benson. William Johnston Keswick, whose family controls Hong Kong powerhouse Jardine Matheson, also sat on the board of BP Amoco. Keswick’s son is a director at HSBC. The Hong Kong connection is even stronger at Royal Dutch/Shell.

Lord Armstrong of Ilminster sat on the boards of Royal Dutch/Shell, N. M. Rothschild & Sons, Rio Tinto and Inchcape. Cathay Pacific Airlines owner and HSBC insider Sir John Swire was a director at Shell, as was Sir Peter Orr, who joins Armstrong on Inchape’s board. Shell director Sir Peter Baxendell joins Armstrong on the board of Rio Tinto, while Shell’s Sir Robert Clark sits on the board of the Bank of England.

As a result of the deregulation craze in the US companies no longer have to report their top shareholders to the SEC. According to 1993 10K reports filed by the Four Horsemen, the Rothschild, Rockefeller and Warburg banking combines still control Big Oil. The Rockefellers exert control through New York mega-banks and Banker’s Trust, which in 1999 was purchased by Warburg-controlled Deutsche Bank in its bid to become the largest bank in the world.

As of 1993 Banker’s Trust was #1 shareholder in Exxon. Chemical Bank was #4 and J.P. Morgan was #5. Both are now part of JP Morgan Chase. Banker’s Trust was also leading shareholder at Mobil. BP listed Morgan Guaranty as its biggest owner in 1993, while Amoco listed Banker’s Trust as its #2 shareholder. Chevron listed Banker’s Trust as its #5 shareholder, while Texaco listed J.P. Morgan as its #4 owner and Banker’s Trust as #9.

Thus, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan Chase – the banks of Warburg and Rockefeller – have increased shares in Exxon Mobil, BP Amoco and Chevron Texaco. Rothschild-controlled Bank of America and Wells Fargo exert West Coast control over Big Oil, while Mellon Bank also remains a big player. Wells Fargo and Mellon Bank were both top 10 shareholders of Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco and BP Amoco as of 1993.

Information on Royal Dutch/Shell is even harder to obtain since they are registered in the UK and Hollandand are not required to file 10K reports. It is 60% owned by Royal Dutch Petroleum of Holland and 40% owned by Shell Trading & Transport of the UK. The company has only 14,000 stockholders and few directors. The consensus from researchers is that Royal Dutch/Shell is still controlled by the Rothschild, Oppenheimer, Nobel and Samuel families along with the British House of Windsor and the Dutch House of Orange.

Queen Beatrix of the Dutch House of Orangeand Lord Victor Rothschild are the two largest shareholders. Queen Beatix’ mother Juliana was once the richest woman in the world and a patroness of the right-wing occult movement. Prince Bernhard, who married Juliana in 1937, was a member of the Hitler Youth Movement, the Nazi SS and an employee of Nazi combine I.G. Farben. He sits on the boards of over 300 European companies and founded the Bilderbergers.

Fake money created by the few, for the few, at the push of a button as a liability for the many. The governments debts are forced usury so everyone (those unable to find a loophole) owes principle and interest on this fake money. And worst of all the Fed has the ability to destroy any currency competitors (read RE, PM's, commodities)...all seem gunned up and then whacked down as needed to maintain the primacy of the fiat, the centrality of the lender. If not the dollar then some other new fiat at the control of a few as a liability to the many.

Not enjoying my thoughts but willing to play out my hand on PM's to see if we really can create a "sound money" competitor but not overly hopeful.

Any historical precedent for a re-emergence of financial freedom, sound money, rebirth of Republic absent terrible violence?

Thu, 04/28/2011 - 22:36 | 1218989 BlackChicken

I would have to disagree with you on the more monstrous part only; the fact that people do not realize that the Constitution specifically states that only gold and silver are "money." If this was widely known, we would not be in this mess.

In short, the only monster is really ignorance (mixed with good propaganda and fear).

OT but here's a little tidbit on Obama's release of his birth certificate yesterday from Urbansurvival.com

The release of the (pick your terms here) purported, alleged, so-called, yada, yada) birth certificate by the White House has turned into a major boner. I mean, this one puts Viagra to shame kind.

Here's a hint at why: The Smoking Gun's article is a good start "Will Release of Obama's Purported Birth Certificate Give Rise to New (birth) "Certer" Movement?"

Up until now, I had blown off most of the 'birther stuff' since Obama is the nominal president and ain't no removing him, since the PTB run the country away, despite representations contrary wise. We learned that with the Big Bank Free Money Festival on the Potomac.

But that was until a reader - we'll call him "Joe" - sent me this amazing email which includes (gasp!) source documentation on some serious inconsistencies:

"As you all know, Donald Trump made a big deal about Obama's birth certificate. As of yesterday, the White House released the birth certificate.

I will tell you right now that I had never given this "birther" issue any credit. I watched the hype and the crazies come out. I completely dismissed the entire ordeal altogether. In fact, it was not until the White House released the birth certificate that it had gained my attention.

I am the studious sort of guy, and I have plenty of time on my hands. So, I took a close look at this document. While I would have thought that this issue would have been closed for good (and, got the crazies to crawl back into their holes), I found two extremely strange inconsistencies that merit some attention.

First of all, the birth certificate that the White House released lists Obama's birth as August 4, 1961. It also lists Barack Hussein Obama as his father. No big deal, right? At the time of Obama's birth, it also shows that his father is aged 25 years old, and that Obama's father was born in "Kenya, East Africa". This wouldn't seem like anything of concern, except the fact that Kenya did not even exist until 1963, two whole years after Obama's birth, and 27 years after his father's birth. How could have Obama's father have been born in a country that did not yet exist? Up and until Kenya was formed in 1963, it was known as the "British East Africa Protectorate". But, this is not the only thing that I found that just does not jive.

The other item that I looked into was the hospital that Obama was born in. On the birth certificate released by the White House, the listed place of birth is "Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital". This cannot be, because the hospital(s) in question in 1961 were called "KauiKeolani Children's Hospital" and "Kapi'olani Maternity Home", respectively. The name did not change to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital until 1978, when these two hospitals merged. How can this particular name of the hospital be on a birth certificate dated 1961 if this name had not yet been applied to it until 1978?

Go ahead, look it up. I am not talking crazy talk, these are the facts. Like I said, I thought that this was a non-issue until the actual certificate was released. Now that it has been released, of course I had to look into it. I have found these issues, now I know that something is up. If you doubt me, just look at the following resources:

Sure as hell, the hospital part is true, as you can read about the 1978 merger here.

The discussion about the East Africa Protectorate is less decisive, however. Still, Keyna didn't gain independence until 1963, be preceded in independence by Tanganyika which became Tanzania, Uganda, and then Kenya. Whether it would have been referred to in Hawaii as the Kenya Colony of Great Britain, however is an interesting discussion, for sure.

Don't mean to throw gas on the debate here, but our reader makes some disturbing points. When coupled with the report on Death by 1,000 Papercuts that "Obama Birth Certificate: Adobe Illustrator Reveals Different Layers" well, things to be not look as sold... Still, we're just offering cites which is what research if for, after all. Might try firing up Illustrator if you have it and see if it auto-generates layers, though...

But the hospital merger? That one bothers me. Be interesting to see if other birth certs from that period show the same name, huh? I know a TV engineer out in the Islands who might know some folks up in the newsroom who could pull a few to check. Make an SDX or Pulitzer, I reckon. You on this? Email me the link to the story when it airs is all I ask...

And if it doesn't prove out, I'd be pleased to put this all to bed...again."

That's . . . actually, pretty interesting stuff. Good for you for fishing that up for us.

I agree with you analysis re almost everything.

Thu, 04/28/2011 - 20:50 | 1218646 rich_wicks

Except that the East Africa Protectorate ended in 1920 and it was called Kenya during it's entire colonial period.

You know people, there is this website called Wikipedia you can make use of..

Fri, 04/29/2011 - 09:24 | 1220030 Bitch Tits

Seriously. If you don't trust Wikipedia, surely you can find another valid source which will tell you Kenya has been around since before the 8th century.

If something sparks a question in your mind, I don't understand why you wouldn't do the research to get at the truth? Just lazy or is there another agenda perhaps?

I think you bring up some interesting points here. I did a little fact checking and I see that Wikipedia claims that the Kapi'olani Hospital changed its name to Kapi'olani Maternity & Gynecological Hospital in 1931.

Hasn't anyone asked the obvious question about the birth "certificate"...Where's the f**king state/county SEAL????? Just because it's on green "official" paper means nothing.

And the next obvious question...Are any of the people who signed it still alive??? Wouldn't it be terribly convenient if they were ALL dead? Sure...very old...but ALL dead??? The doctor has definitely been reported as deceased and his family is surprised by seeing his name on the report.

Personally, I still believe he was born in Kenya. Leftists lie freely and Marxists even more so. He qualifies for both.

I agree with Chuck Walla and will add that on top of Obama being a total failure as president I add that I am not even sure he is a president so much as he is a religious cult. I do not care at this point if he releases videotape of his mother doing it with Obama senior on Diamond Head the nature and place of his birth will always be suspect in my mind because of the way he has handled this for 4 years now. By the way, he (actually his first campaign staff) had previously released the certificate of live birth which was immediately taken down from his website when it became controversial because it was then seen to be faked, that really is what fed the whole birther movement anyway. Has anyone still got a digital copy of that one to compare to this new release?

Well, I have always considered myself a liberal democrat and even donated generously to Hillary Clinton's campaign, after what the party rules committee did to her and the states of Florida and Michigan I no longer consider myself a member of that party, I have not changed my political views, but the good old Democratic Party simply moved on to become some monstrous abortion of a political mess that I want nothing to do with, I plan to remain apolitical until a party is formed which resembles the party I was a member of. I can't even support Ron Paul though I like his efforts on behalf of the nation and constitution re the Fed and deficits and sound money, financial justice and law enforcement, but socially he is a GOP knuckle dragger that I cannot vote for.

One citizen one vote, all 50 states should have a secret ballot primary on the same day no less than 60 and no more than 90 days from the general election in November, and all PAC and soft money as well as corporate slush funds and lobbying must be gotten out of our elections, until we fix those things the USA will continue to die a slow death. But the end is near if it does not get done soon.

Thu, 04/28/2011 - 20:37 | 1218587 i-dog

"until we fix those things the USA will continue to die a slow death."

Face it ... tinkering with the presidential election process will do absolutely nothing to fix the underlying root causes of America's problems. Massive (and still growing) Federal government "One-Size-Fits-All Central Planning" is an abject failure ... whether in the US, Europe, Russia, Canada or Australia.

Decentralising again back to individual state governments is the only starting point that will enable rebuilding economies that serve local citizens to suit their local needs, resources, climates, cultures, advantages and disadvantages. Such a multiplicity of states, all competing with each other, would spur innovation and help to recover from the effects of having exported low-wage jobs and never replacing them with the touted higher-wage upgrades for which the massive expenditure on higher education was purported to address. Anything else is "fiddling while Rome burns".

I think it depends on who you bought from.

I bought 10 oz of silver eagles from NWMint on Thursday, 4/21. They want five days to clear for an onliine credit card purchase, then another five days to ship. Another couple days for delivery.

As long as it gets here I'm fine with the delay. It goes into the drawer with the rest anyway.

Damn, I wish there was a "Fan" or "Good One!" button on ZH.

2 x LOL's will have to do, if that's O.K.

Bernake is a criminal no doubt but inflation does not help the stock market: the change is neutral, a nominal increase only. The recipients of the created money are helped but that is more of a transfer or a subsidy. That is a select few not the whole stock market. Get it right dummy.

Innacurate and misleading video.
At no time did the crash test dummy grab his hips and violently thrust his pelvis towards the viewer...(the universal symbol for being 'Bernanked').

I noticed that, too. Nor did it display the universal "jerk off".

When they can't feed their children. Then they'll whine for a strongman, and they will get him.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

You can fight the FED by buying Silver. We all know that. But, if you want to join them, buy some Iraqi Dinar (IRD). The Rothchilds own the Central Bank of Iraq and Dutch Oil who just happen to have a lot of contracts in, wait for it, Iraq. Serious scuttlebutt out of Iraq is the Dinar is about to "Revalue" upwards anywhere from one to four dollars per Dinar. The Rothchilds have been known to purchase weak currencies know full well it will revalue and make them Billions! They've done it before and I suspect their doing it again. They also own Reuters who sell the propaganda. Take that into account next time you read a Reuters article. You can currently pick-up a million Dinar for around $1100. If these rumors are true, your window to purchase IRD is rapidly closing. Become a millionaire with Dinars and turn around and buy Gold/Silver. It's the perfect crime!!!!! Bought mine at Gidassociates; DinarTrader is another one.
