The Worst Part Is Central Bankers Know Exactly What They Are Doing

Submitted by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.com,

The best position for a tyrant or tyrants to be in, at least while consolidating power, is tyranny by proxy. That is to say, the most dangerous tyrants are those the people do not recognize: the tyrants who hide behind scarecrows and puppets and faceless organizations. The worst position for the common citizen to be in is a false sense of security and understanding, operating on the assumption that tyrants do not exist or that potential tyrants are really just greedy fools acting independently from one another.

Sadly, there are a great many people today who hold naïve notions that our sociopolitical dynamic is driven by random chaos, greed and fear. I’m sorry to say that this is simply not so, and anyone who believes such nonsense is doomed to be victimized by the tides of history over and over again.

There is nothing random or coincidental about our political systems or economic structures. There are no isolated tyrants and high-level criminals functioning solely on greed and ignorance. And while there is certainly chaos, this chaos is invariably engineered, not accidental. These crisis events are created by people who often refer to themselves as “globalists” or “internationalists,” and their goals are rather obvious and sometimes openly admitted: at the top of their list is the complete centralization of government and economic power that is then ACCEPTED by the people as preferable. They hope to attain this goal primarily through the exploitation of puppet politicians around the world as well as the use of pervasive banking institutions as weapons of mass fiscal destruction.

Their strategic history is awash in wars and financial disasters, and not because they are incompetent. They are evil, not stupid.

By extension, perhaps the most dangerous lie circulating today is that central banks are chaotic operations run by intellectual idiots who have no clue what they are doing. This is nonsense. While the ideological cultism of elitism and globalism is ignorant and monstrous at its core, these people function rather successfully through highly organized collusion. Their principles are subhuman, but their strategies are invasive and intelligent.

That’s right; there is a conspiracy afoot, and this conspiracy requires created destruction as cover and concealment. Central banks and the private bankers who run them work together regardless of national affiliations to achieve certain objectives, and they all serve a greater agenda. If you would like to learn more about the details behind what motivates globalists, at least in the financial sense, read my article 'The Economic Endgame Explained.'

Many people, including insiders, have written extensively about central banks and their true intentions to centralize and rule the masses through manipulation, if not direct political domination. I think Carroll Quigley, Council on Foreign Relations insider and mentor to Bill Clinton, presents the reality of our situation quite clearly in his book “Tragedy And Hope”:

"The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank … sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world."

This "world system of financial control" that Quigley speaks of has not yet been achieved, but the globalists have been working tirelessly towards such a goal.  The plan for a single global currency system and a single global economic authority is outlined rather blatantly in an article published in the Rothschild owned 'The Economist' entitled 'Get Ready For A Global Currency By 2018' This article was written in 1988, and much of the process of globalization it describes is already well underway.  It is a plan that is at least decades in the making.  Again, it is foolhardy to assume central banks and international bankers are a bunch of clumsy Mr. Magoos unwittingly driving our economy off a cliff; they know EXACTLY what they are doing.

Being the clever tyrants that they are, the members of the central banking cult hope you are too stupid or too biased to grasp the concept of conspiracy. They prefer that you see them as bumbling idiots, as children who found their father’s shotgun or who like to play with matches because in your assumptions and underestimations they find safety. If you cannot identify the agenda, you can do nothing to interfere with the agenda.

I have found that the false notion of central bank impotence is growing in popularity lately, certainly in light of the recent Fed decision to delay an interest rate hike in September. With that particular event in mind, let’s explore what is really going on and why the central banks are far more dangerous and deliberate than people are giving them credit for.

The argument that the Federal Reserve is now “between a rock and a hard place” keeps popping up in alternative media circles lately, but I find this depiction to be inaccurate. It presumes that the Federal Reserve "wants"  to save the U.S. economy or at least wants to maintain our status quo as the “golden goose.” This is not the case.  America is not the golden goose.  In truth, the Fed is exactly where it wants to be; and it is the American people who are trapped economically rather than the bankers.

Take, for instance, the original Fed push for the taper of quantitative easing; why did the Fed pursue this in the first place? QE and zero interest rate policy (ZIRP) are the two pillars holding up U.S. equities markets and U.S. bonds. No one in the mainstream was demanding that the Fed enact taper measures. And when the Fed more publicly introduced the potential for such measures in the fall of 2013, no one believed it would actually follow through. Why? Because removing a primary support pillar from under the “golden goose” seemed incomprehensible to them.

In September of that year, I argued that the Fed would indeed taper QE. And, in my article “Is The Fed Ready To cut America’s Fiat Life Support?” I gave my reasons why. In short, I felt the Fed was preparing for the final collapse of our economic system and the taper acted as a kind of control valve, making a path for the next leg down without immediate destabilization. I also argued that all stimulus measures have a shelf life, and the shelf life for all QE and ZIRP is quickly coming to an end. They no longer serve a purpose except to marginally slow the collapse of certain sectors, so the Fed is systematically dismantling them.

I received numerous emails, some civil and some hostile, as to why I was crazy to think the Fed would ever end QE. I knew the taper would be instituted because I was willing to accept the real motivation of central banks, which is to undermine and destroy economies within a particular time frame, not secure economies or kick the can indefinitely. In light of this, the taper made sense. One great pillar is gone, and now only ZIRP remains.

After a couple of meetings and preplanned delays, the Fed did indeed follow through with the taper in December of that year. In response, energy markets essentially imploded and stocks became steadily more volatile over the course of 2014, leading to a near 10% drop in early fall followed by foreign QE efforts and false hints of QE4 by Fed officials as central banks slowed the crisis to an easier to manage pace while easing the investment world into the idea of reduced stimulus policies and reduced living standards; what some call the "new normal".

I have held that the Fed is likely following the same exact model with ZIRP, delaying through the fall only to remove the final pillar in December.

For now, the Fed is being portrayed as incompetent with markets behaving erratically as investors lose faith in their high priests. This is exactly what the bankers that control the Fed prefer. Better to be seen as incompetent than to be seen as deliberately insidious. And who knows, maybe a convenient disaster event in the meantime such as a terrorist attack or war (Syria) could be used to draw attention away from the bankers completely.

Strangely, Bloomberg seems to agree (at least in part) with my view that the taper model is being copied for use in the rate hike theater and that a hike is coming in December.

Meanwhile, some Federal Reserve officials once again insinuate that a hike will be implemented by the end of the year while others hint at the opposite.

Other mainstream sources are stating the contrary, with Pimco arguing that there will be no Fed rate hike until 2016.  Of course, Pimco made a similar claim back in 2013 against any chance of a QE taper.  They were wrong, or, they were deliberately misleading investors.

Goldman Sachs is also redrafting their predictions and indicating that a Fed rate hike will not come until mid-2016. With evidence indicating that Goldman Sachs holds considerable influence over Fed policy (such as exposed private meetings on policy between Fed officials and banking CEO's), one might argue that whatever they “predict” for the rate hike will ultimately happen. However, I would point out that if Goldman Sachs is indeed on the inside of Fed policy making, then they are often prone to lying about it or hiding it.

During the taper fiasco in 2013, Goldman Sachs first claimed that the Fed would taper in September. They lost billions of dollars on bad currency bets as the Fed delayed.

Then, Goldman Sachs argued that there would be no taper in December of that year; and they were proven to be wrong (or disingenuous) once again.

Today, with the interest rate fiasco, Goldman Sachs claimed a Fed rate hike would likely take place in September. They were wrong. Now, once again, they are claiming no rate hike until next year.

Are we beginning to see a pattern here?

How could an elitist-run bank with proven inside connections to the Federal Reserve be so wrong so often about Fed policy changes? Well, losing a billion dollars here and there is not a very big deal to Goldman Sachs. I believe they are far more interested in misleading investors and keeping the public off guard, and are willing to sacrifice some nominal profits in the process. Remember, these are the same guys who conned nations like Greece into buying toxic derivatives that Goldman was simultaneously betting against!

The relationship between international banks like Goldman Sachs and central banks like the Federal Reserve is best summed up in yet another Carroll Quigley quote from “Tragedy And Hope”:

"It must not be felt that these heads of the world’s chief central banks were themselves substantive powers in world finance. They were not. Rather, they were the technicians and agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries, who had raised them up and were perfectly capable of throwing them down. The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers (also called “international” or “merchant” bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks."

Goldman Sachs and other major banks act in concert with the Fed (or even dictate Fed actions) in conditioning public psychology as much as they manipulate finance. First and foremost, globalists require confusion. Confusion is power.  What better way to confuse and mislead the investment world than to place bad bets on Fed policy changes?

Heading into the end of 2015, we are only going to be faced with ever mounting mixed messages and confusion from the mainstream media, international banks and central banks. It is important to always remember, though, that this is by design. A common motto of the elite is “order out of chaos,” or “never let a good crisis go to waste.” Think critically about why the Fed has chosen to push forward with earth-shaking policy changes this year that no one asked for. What does it have to gain? And realize that if the real goal of the Fed is instability, then it has much to gain through its recent and seemingly insane actions.

Some are, and some aren't.  But unlike Brandan Smith, they are rational and profit driven market participants within their cubicles and silos.

Crack is whack.  Apparently some of the nut-job members of the prepper community didn't get the memo... since Goldman Sachs is deliberately losing millions of dollars as part of a vast banker conspiracy of trick the gullible impotent masses into believing that they are actually bumbling idiots.  

The only bumbling idiots are the fools that were conned into thinking Brandon Smith has any idea what he talking about.

How is it in one breath its "they (central banks) know exactly what they are doing" like with this article, but a few minutes down the home page timeline it's "central banks have lost control"?

My theory is "they" are the Asshats running this world market into the ground as shorts, all as a de facto tax increase in a world that doesn't want tax increases.

The paradox

was because:

Final failure from too much successs.

Systems based upon governments ENFORCING FRAUDS by privately controlled banks never stop those frauds from still being false. Therefore, the excessive successfulness of those systems drive the civilization they control to become criminally insane. The ruling classes, the banksters, as the best organized gangsters, were able to persistently apply the methods of organized crime, through the political processes. However, that excessive successfulness of organized crime results in civilization overall becoming criminally insane.

For elaboration, see my recent comments under:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-21/end-magical-thinking-money-cannot-manufacture-resources

The End Of Magical Thinking: Money Cannot Manufacture Resources

Sociopolitical structures based upon some people being able to back up their lies with violence in order to control other people become excessively successful, which manifests as almost everyone who is socially successful INSIDE ENFORCED FRAUDS becoming professional liars and immaculate hypocrites. That goes on for generation after generation, until the whole culture based upon the long history of being able to back up lies with violence becomes more and more psychotically out of touch with relatively objective realities.

Don't mistake true incompetence (what else would you call Keynsianism?) for evil.  You can create the illusion of controlling the tornado for a while, but the end is predictable and inevitable.

 

True evil is using false flag events that harm your citizens to further a political and war agenda. *cough* Benghazi *cough*. 

 

The thing is that time and again, history has shown that the muppets reach the end of their tether, break it, and bite HARD. Just remember that not all of the 1% will make it to their planes headed to New Zealand.

It isn't incompetence when you MANUFACTURE the false-flag events to further your agenda while simultaneously distracting the masses from your very own involvement in those events and what led up to them. Remember: these bastards create order from chaos. Don't be thrown off by the chaos; it's all part of the plan. Keep your eyes on the prize: THE BANKSTERS and their minions have created all of this. Hopefully, your last couple sentences will come to pass...and these bastards get theirs, in the end.

Good article and I agree but interests are diverging behind the scenes. This new global empire will not last past 2021. 

As for CERN reactor the "God" particle (Higgs/Boson) was discovered in July 2012. That was known news. What was not know news was a singularity was created in December of 2012, a wormhole or gateway to 4D.

Things can come OUT from there. Eventually man will understand consciessness and stream it as electrons into 4D. This will happen by 2052.

CERN will create black hole weapons. Plug in the coordinates for any person with a GPS cell phone and soon RFID chip and BLINK! What you Christians thought you were going to gently float up into the sky? 

Apollos in Greek, Abbadadon in Hebrew and Shiva are all the same entity, both a destroyer and a creator. Best to think of it as an alien of energy from 4D. It comes to destroy those that ruin the earth and we all know who they are. 

 Those that rule and ruin this earth get to be in there own pit in 4D with there god Lucifer. 

 The Hindu's first postulated the Many Worlds theory which now modern quantum physics has proven in more than theory but just very recently. That is why Shiva is there at CERN. Thats the tie-in. 

 it doesnt matter how I understand some things, just trying to look after people the best I can. It will have to do.

Atomic - There are nine families that run the banking empire. They have beliefs that they are nine dieties of Roman mythology. So they literally deem themselves 'gods'. I can assure you, if one is in the flesh on earth your are a man and that is all. However, there beliefs are very dangerous and they have been misled.

We truly are not alone in existence. There are malevolent beings and benevolent ones. The experimentation on earth by Lucifer comes down to an experiment of evolving our species at a very past clip. Fast or slow, relativity is about all that can be tempered with in existence. The experiment has been tried many, many cycles of recreation. Cyclical theory in quantum physics is correct.

So it isnt my beliefs that are dangerous. It is the nine banking families, your Rothchilds and Warburgs that very much are. 

The CERN reactor can now punch a hole into 4D. This is a financial forum so I do not think it appropriate to go into more detail.

They also understand metaphysics of the Hindus and Many Worlds theory has now recently been proven as fact. There is a being called Apollos which is generally benevolent. But he has allowed some really bad entities to come through the portal CERN created and drive these men into false , dangerous beliefs into outright madness. This will cause WW3 and not just a manipulated one as some here suggest.. That is only the plan. 

 To put it more simply just think of the game King of the Hill with three major players. 

 What I am talking about sounds like gibberish or mysticism, but I assure you this is just science. Science fiction is art imitating reality. 

 As for references to Apollos, I speak to Christians so they do not confuse mysticism with science or evolutionary patterns which are nearing our species conclusion. 

Christ said he was not of this world. In other words, an alien. He also transformed himself into a being of light to show his apostles what he really was. Up until 100 years ago, all of this seemed like magic to non-believers and believers. 

Now, in 2052 our species enters 4d. Google up on Ai, Quantum Physics and Biomedicine and from a straight analytic viewpoint the date I stated is sery well supported by scientific minds. 

As for me, I am simply a man trying to help intepret what I see and connect some dots. But I have my own sources for some information and frankly, it is best to not speak openly about some things.

I think this article is dead on in a lot of ways.  I have no idea what they will do with rates but I do know that they have a plan and that they have always had a plan.  As this piece points out the council on foreign relations etc, have already spelled that out for us repeatedly. 

That is not to say that these people are omnipotent and they may have to turn to contingency plans (of which certainly they have many) if unforseen issues arise.   The belief that thes Fed as well as our politicians are "intellectual idiots" as opposed to "successful organized collusion" is going to crush a lot of people because it is dead wrong.  It's hard to imagine that they are intentionally conspiring to destroy our economy and others yet that is exactly what they have been doing.  The plan seems to be collapse and then of course they will offer a solution.

They don't have control of everything but they are damn close, scoff and call it a silly conspiracy at your own risk.

Where they may end up looking like bumbling idiots is if they think they can orchestrate an organized collapse of this magnitude.  This isn't their first orchestrated collapse but it will be their biggest.  Siezing absolute power globally has never been done before so their psychopathic arrogance may turn out to be their downfall.   They need human suffering so that people will give in to their demands but if the human suffering goes too far they will end up on lamp posts.

They know exactly where the revolving door is. They know how much they want for their retirement. They know who their bosses really are. They know they are spineless greed pigs. They don't give a shit about any economics, but their own.

Brilliant schemers and bumbling fools are merely the ends of  a continuum. There is a lot of distance between them. To suggest that bankers can deftly and accurately plan and manage a collapse is to assume that economics can manage markets. 

Somewhere between the ends lies the truth.

This is why I read ZH.

(and the comments)

Thanks Tylers

Rothchilds, Warburgs, Rockefellers, et al

They own the shares of the things that own things,  that own things.

So far removed that they are never exposed.  People wildly punch at Obama, Trump, Hillary, the IRS, the CIA, Goldman Sachs JPM,  CNNCBCFAUX  etc . 

Nobody knows who owns/calls the shots for the big con.

I do not agree!

The Banksters read Machiavelli but ...

Forgot the French Revolution and 1917 in Russia.

Guillotine, gallows, some firing squads in China etc ..

Not to mention what Hitler did with argentários ...

You have sweet illusion that this will end well.

It will not.

They can write.

Unfortunately.

Snowwhite, the banksters were the force behind the French and Russian revolutions. Stalin rebelled against the rootless cosmopolitans (Trotsky, Zinoviev, Kamenev etc), almost to the degree Hitler had, but got, like Hitler, dispatched in the end. The modern world is a bankster's sandbox.

Around the time of the taper there was very briefly talk of the gov buying homes to rent out. The fed was spending $40 Billion/month buying up 90% of mortgage issuance. Probably doesn't sound too good for the gov to be buying massive numbers of homes to rent out in order to prop up the economy.  Well wouldn't you just know it that hedge funds would just happen to come along with the same buy-to-rent plan just in the nick of time and save the day for the fed and to the point it inflated home prices...like they were trying to blow a bubble or something.

It is not a contradiction to know that central banking is both an organized conspiracy and that they are bumbling fools who have crashed the global economy and have no clue what to do next.

There is no country in the world that has successfully managed its economy in any detail for even 2 generations.  That is conceptually not possible, as the economy is an open complex evolving system.  There is no control system technology to mange one of those.  As a game it is far too difficult for human minds to play

Crashing the world's economy doesn't leave them many places to run to.  I think our status quo is going to end up hanging from lampposts.  The only futures that make sense are rope futures.

Indeed the complexity of appearances (effects) have become so bewildering that many people are forming wrong concepts of reality and unreality...

but this is nothing new, more like just the same boring story.

Let's not forget about control of media, educational systems, the judiciary, probably the military...the CIA.  The extent and perservation have been extraordinary.  And not just for some silly biblical prophecy, but for pure power and greed and hate.

Seychelles - Prophecy is statistical probability at the quantum level. Bible authors were not the only ancients to point out time frames relating to our day. I love data and analytics. After so many correlations between certain individual forecasts thousands of years in advance in some cases to a specific time like (2012) of a few cultures being the year of the Dragon (China's ascent) and modern physics, chemistry, biology, Ai, architecture and mathematics, then metaphysics like numerology, religion and astrology, it points out specific patterns.

Doesn't mean it is magic but seriously, I have a feeling and correct me if I am wrong, you haven't read much of any metaphysics (which include religions) have you? Such are a base of how we got here scientifically. And almost all of them point to our evolution from human to energy, the ending of classic death which science now more than supports and also theory of life beyond our planet. From Supernovae we came from and as a cosmic gag reel looks like back to that form we go.

It's Ok to still call many things beliefs or theories in many cases, I just choose to not insult other beliefs or potential understandings. It is better to keep exploring and finding answers, comparing information than becoming intellectually lazy holding a religious book up (that does have a lot of value) and saying it is the end all be all of learning or your statement that metaphysics was all just silly. Evolve please.

Central Bankers Know Exactly What They Are Doing

 

Do they know exactly what they are doing, to the extent that they are about to be taken down? To the extent that at some point in time, between 300 TRILLION and up to 5 QUADRILLON will be clawed back, even if it does take the next 100 years?

...history is awash in wars and financial disasters, and not because they are incompetent. They are evil, not stupid.

 

They certainly are evil. In fact, they're evil for evil sake. At the same, they are neither monolithic in purpose and certainly not infallible. They may think themselves gods. Above mere humans and rule of law. But they cannot trump natural law, and "nature's God." It may well have taken nearly 500 years to expose them once again (Zinskauf and Zinsen). But, alas they have been exposed, and they will be deposed in short order ..

*sigh*...  ...They own the SYSTEM, they ARE the "markets"... The title is really a pleonasm, at least for the CBs that are in charge, e.i. the ones that are "more equal", at least for the time being.

Hahaha. How about a recursive summary then for ya Huh Really ? In any event repetition of details is necessary for some folk that don't always think conceptually for a variety of reasons. Plus new readers every month. People in general get it now. But they want to deny some reality so they can still feel like they aren't living in Animal Farm.

The criminals pulling the purse strings behind the scenes extends all the way down to the big city law firms, the accountants that falsify the numbers and the appraisers that fabricate the values that falsely justify the bottom lines. False revenues, higher stock prices. False emissions, sell more cars. False real estate prices, higher sales prices. False company outlooks and projections, more loans and unsupportable  debt. The list goes on and on. But the house of cards is a swaying and when the fit hits the shan make sure you are out of the room.

Pretty obviously all part of the CB/BIS plan, but hopefully our Canadian white knight in the form of COMER - Committee on Monetary and Economic Reform http://www.comer.org/index.htm - will be successful in restoring control of the Bank of Canada to the government and people of Canada.

A bit long but worth a read, the government has lost it's case all the way through the lower courts and is now before the Supreme Court, our highest federal court. In a nutshell:

One of the functions mandated to the
Bank is the making of loans to the federal
and provincial governments (and indirectly,
to the municipal) at no or very low simple
interest, interest which is returned to the
people of Canada through the Treasury.
Another function is to issue and regulate the
national currency on behalf of Government,
fulfilling one of the latter’s constitutional
responsibilities. The Bank carried out these
tasks for 40 years, Canada’s “golden years.”
However, in 1974 at the Bank for International
Settlements (BIS), Canada joined
the Group of Ten charged with “maintaining
financial stability” on a global scale.
Since then, the government has borrowed,
instead, from private banks at compound
interest, with resulting deficits and debts.
When people are held hostage financially.......

....Most significantly, COMER says that
Government, by handing over its monetary,
currency and financial policies to be determined
by international private entities, has
abdicated its constitutional duties to govern,
and that it is unconstitutional and against
the Act for the Governor of the Bank of
Canada to keep secret from Parliament the
minutes of his meetings with central bank governors of other states.

We can always hope and dream. /s

Comer is one of the best efforts I've seen to correct this mess albit only one country. 

Unfortunatly like US vote rigging cases and LaRouchePACs'  Glass-Steagal reform, it won't succeed until just after it is too late. Even so, these efforts do awaken more sheeple than ever.

"It presumes that the Federal Reserve "wants"  to save the U.S. economy or at least wants to maintain our status quo as the “golden goose.” This is not the case."

 

Bingo.  These evil beasts are not incompetent, scared, backed into a corner, or even remotely out of options.  They have plenty of evil, Evil, and EVIL in store.
