Dollar Moves Shake The World: "Federal Reserve Could Start A Currency War"
Submitted by Mac Slavo via SHTFPlan.com,
There is a war, a currency war, and the war is, ultimately, on us.
In many respects, Americans have fallen far, and hard, from the liberty they once had.
Rather than living under a sound currency, modern Americans live under an economic despotism. There are monopoly men who tightly control the money, and are all the more insidious in their subtlety, and quietness in the shadows.
Today, things are so bad that they face economic enslavement and a rapid theft of their wealth through the debasement of the dollar’s value. Not only is the destruction of the dollar systematic and planned, but it is designed to leave Americans holding the bag. The money passes round and round, but it trickles down from the big banks, who are loaned the money free at zero percent interest by the Federal Reserve under its QE program, created to “fix” the 2008 economic crisis that nearly brought the world to its knees.
Now, literally any action at all – especially including no action – by the Federal Reserve has a direct impact on the value of the U.S. dollar, and greatly determines the course of world events, and especially whether or not average people can pay the bills.
According to The Street, it is an all out currency war that will have direct impact on budgets large and small:
The stock market stays high because the Fed is not going to raise short-term interest rates. The Fed is not going to raise short-term interest rates because the U.S. inflation rate remains low. The inflation rate remains low because the value of the U.S. dollar is high. The dollar is strong because world commodity prices have fallen and have “driven up the dollar and held down U.S. import prices.”
According to the Financial Times, the last three items mentioned are interrelated. Furthermore, it now seems as if momentum is picking up within the Federal Reserve to postpone any increases in it policy rate for an extended period of time. That inaction may not be the best decision in terms of the relative strength of currencies.
[…]
According to this argument, the stock market should begin to fall because the Fed is raising interest rates
The key connector here seems to be the relationship between the value of the U.S. dollar and any action that the Federal Reserve might take on raising short-term interest rates.
The Fed is the only thing propping the stock market up – when, or if, it moves, there will be a crash, that will call bad debtors and impoverish entire social security systems. But things aren’t much better if they stay still, either. According to The Street:
[I]f the Fed does not raise its target policy rate, other countries will have to take further action to ease up further on their economic policies. The European Central Bank will extend its quantitative easing. The Bank of England will not raise its policy rates.
The Peoples Bank of China will attempt to achieve further ease so that the renminbi will fall against the U.S. dollar.
In effect, this looks like a currency war, and the world cannot afford a currency war at this time.
The Federal Reserve needs to take these things into consideration in making their policy decisions. They are, after all, the global reserve currency and they cannot avoid the responsibilities that go along with this position.
[…]
If the Federal Reserve does not raise interest rates, the value of the US dollar will fall and this will have an impact on the commodity prices of emerging nations, causing import prices and U.S. inflation to rise.
How did the Federal Reserve get so much power over the American economy – and that of the world’s? There have been many stages of the theft which are too numerous to list, but which are generally well known to those familiar with its odious origins as a design by the banking cartel.
Started under conspiratorial circumstances back in 1913, the Federal Reserve has established itself as a private central bank for the country, though it is not part of the U.S. government. Since its inception, the Fed has driven the dollar down to just a fraction of its original value.
Since the U.S. went off the gold standard under the shadow presidency of Henry Kissinger in 1971, the dollar has plummeted in status to a worthless piece of paper. Meanwhile, however, the dollar was the world reserve currency, and was the currency that traded for oil during a time of supply crisis, it has retained an accepted – and therefore valued – status so long as America dominated foreign policy (in part by managing more and more wars) and maintained its status.
The banksters operated the monetary and financial system that led the world by trading in petrodollars, and in turn, forced oil rich nations like Saudi Arabia to invest on Wall Street, as well as reluctant powers like Japan, who were forced to open up their markets to foreign investment during the oil crisis.
But now world power is shifting. The dollar is dying, and the Federal Reserve has become a leviathon that is too big to die, and too bloated to be effective. In its enormous capacity, it is facilitating the theft of TRILLIONS and TRILLIONS of dollars from the American people:
Americans face a further decline in their standard of living in all cases, market-wide conditions that the Fed alone can determine. Their wealth is rapidly evaporating.
If the Fed raises rates, the market will crash. On the otherhand, if it doesn’t raise rates, and continues indefinitely on its course of quantative easing, investors, middle class and working families, businesses, as well as pensions, benefit programs and insurance policies will also die a slow painful economic death.
Already things are hovering dangerously on edge, and squeezing in tightly.

While the FED may be complicit.... It is our debt that is driving the bus.
I learned nothing at all from that article.
I guess you know everything ..
Maybe not everything, but 4 years here helps.
It was a bit of a yawn...
Let's be honest. The FED is in a box. Even a magician couldn't figure this one out. Low interest rates equal an endless recession. Higher interest rates equal a complete economic collapse. Pick your poison.
To the guy at the top of the thread - It is the Fed's printed up legal tender that is driving the bus, because thst buys the politicians that accumulate the debt. You missed a step.
Yes, let's be honest pretty bird. Do you think the Fed with all their Ivy League PhDs couldn't see that they were painting themselves into a corner? I'm not much on tin foil hats, but it's beginning to smell like they have a plan and are sticking to it.
Pretty much everybody knows we are rapidly falling into a "behavioral sink" and the ramifications of such an event. The loss of life will be immense, and that is what they are really going after...a significant reduction in the population of useless eaters. All of their efforts will be to insure their survival during this catharsis.
It's coming and you should all prepare,,,
;-D

I thought the currency war started years ago
True but sometimes articles like this are good to pass on to those less informed.
currency war....yeah right. is that you rickards, selling more claptrap?
ALL of the major central banks are under one tent
the one world currency is here, been here. frn is it
see frbny bailouts of foreign banks/currencies for PROOF
same fools buy peak oil (oildrum.com collapsed and went dark), peak water...more scams
You are deluded. California is so dry and so much ground water being pumped from aquifers that the ground is dropping 2 inches a year in parts of the Central Valley for the past several. Ain't no El Niño gonna bring it back up. Most of the rain will flow directly into the sea. We rely on the snow pack to refill the resivoirs but the snow don't stick cuz winters are too hot for the past 5 years. So shut up about shit you know nothing about.
look up 'closed loop' system. yes water moves around...but volume is constant
damn the iq is low tonight. do i need to post a list of the foreign banks bailed out by frbny? there is no currency war.
there is collusion....and cooridinated devaluations. and certainly no war amongst the majors
yes, yes it is. do we need to post a list of countries with negative interest rates on their short-term debt?
Indeed and what matters for the Fed is the sdr, and the dollar is just a tool.
All central banks have employees that work/ed for Gs or JPM.
And this article shows us how easy it looks to where the dollar is going but that's like shorting Japan since the 90's.
I believe more in coinued deflation where those who get the credit for free buy the world and will end up being filthy rich.
And when that is over, they'll inflate, making sure all the rest becomes poor while they hold all assets.
And for those who prepare, they should look to greece. Their crisis is already going for 6 years, now most people are poor and it will take at least another 10 years.
So if you prep, do you have enough to cover 16 years?
Or do you have enouh to put in a bag, leave the country and start over?
And that's why most preppers will fail also.
But in the end, central banks want total control want you to have just enough to not rebel. That means enouh for food without getting obese and enough to have a plate over your head when it rains.
I had no idea Henry Kissinger was president in 1971
Yes, he was. Now he's Putin's handler. We learn something new everyday.
The words used were "shadow presidency" - the guy in the shadows BEHIND the king on the throne.
Kissinger, another war criminal who won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Kissenger... the OG of criminal Secretaries of State.
It's hard to see his arm up Nixon's ass while they're seated.
I think the article is geared towards the uninitiated, it does a good job of summarizing the situation in plain terms.
The FED is complicit? Come on dude! The FED is the problem. And if you paid any attention to the astute Eustace Mullins (wrote about the FED before anyone) the FED was largely built on stolen Romanov gold ..
What is going on in the ME and western Asia is payback! Call it -- poetic justice ..
Wow, that is interesting! More facts to trow in face of commies!
what is the name of the documeny? BTW
Stolen Romanov gold!! Wow--that's a good one, has such a conspiratorial ring to it...
now STFU
Stolen Romanov gold??? Just how did the Romanovs acquire their gold? By going to the gold mine everyday? If it was the Romanov's gold, it was only because they stole it. Czar Nicholas was one of the richest individulals that ever walked the face of the earth, and he and his family ended up dead at the hand of a bunch of pissed off peasants..... There is a lesson in that somewhere.
"Don't fuck with Ruskis who's last names end in -putiin"
our debt is the result of the existence of
the federal reserve bank and the laws that
elevate that shit house to central bank status.
it is one scam that presents itself as two
entities; debt and money. they are not the same
in reality, they are different.
.
in the real world frugality, savings, represent
and justifies credit. the fed does not respect the real world.
it eats and wastes it as a matter of policy. the grand malinvestment
of sponsoring death technology to rape and steal people and resources
for further technological destructive capacity. the doom meme
in full bloom, man.
.
it is the current money system stupid.
It is not my debt. I signed nothing. In fact, I pay more taxes than 90% of Americans. So no, it is not "our debt - leave me out of it I did more than my part to keep this country out of debt.
"If the Federal Reserve does not raise interest rates, the value of the US dollar will fall and this will have an impact on the commodity prices of emerging nations, causing import prices and U.S. inflation to rise." ummmm.......isn't that what they're after?
Yes, the Fed has no choice but to ultimately monetize Debt through inflation,it's that simple. inflation is the mother of all taxes,soon coming to your town...keep stacking Kids
War will play it out.
War will do the job as well (door #2) All major wars created massive inflation. problem solved,RE SET and REPEAT. it's so easy even a ......
Thats more war.
we've always been at war with terror or thats what they will say in a generation or so.
Orwellian times.
that's why the US is trying so hard to make a big war to reset it's financial failure
Bitcoins are the answer to a world without war.
'sarc'
Fiat = slavery
Some things really are simple after you dig thru the layer of BS covering up the simple truth.
i don't entirely agree. fiat = contract. that
is what i adhere to, there is a distinction with
a difference. the problem is in the terms of the contract
and whether the participants are free, informed and
willing participants with representation capacity
in the case of dispute. some call it free government?
.
the banksters have violated and perverted
all of that.
it is what they do and what need be
undone and removed, imho.
I never willingly agreed to it. It was forced upon me before I was even born. So the contract argument is false. imo
when i was born, there were conditions.
.
i have my dna ,too, and try to understand it,
that was forced upon me or mystically chosen;
i can't say which.
.
did we agree to be here, now, isn't that the
most simple agreement or contract, to be
here now.
but, here, in the interweb, where is here
and when is now?
i wonder what it looks like out in the
real world?
There is force and on the other end there is love. You are free to stand where you will.
thank you sir,
i'm a lover s/b.
yet , there is this.

Put it this way. debt = slavery. Yes, people usually sign the docs willingly, not realizing what they are doing to limit their future, but debt = a more perfect form of slavery compared to prior forms. As soon as someone figured out they could use a human being and keep some of their labor results for themselves we had chattel slavery for 1000's of years. The debt based monetary system is a more perfected system with no one having to report directly to a master in person.
“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.”
-Leo Tolstoy
"Banking was conceived in iniquity, and was born in sin. The Bankers own the Earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money (deposits), and with the flick of the pen, they will create enough money, to buy it back again. However, take it away from them, and the great fortunes like mine will disappear, and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But if you wish to remain slaves of Bankers, and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money."
- Sir Josiah Stamp, (President of the Bank of England in the 1920´s, the second richest man in Britain
“While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.”
-Horace Greely -1872, in writing his opinion of the National Banking Act. Greely served a short term in the US House of Representatives (NY 1848-1849). He was editor of the New York Tribune, and ran for president in the new liberal Republican party in 1872.
If you believe this chart that says the dollar since 1979 has fell from about 10 cents to 4 cents. then I have a bridge to sell you.
Good catch.
Well...
1979 - Snickers bar at college vending machine = 35 cents. Today in the break room at work - 75 cents. Pretty close.
How much smaller is the snicker bar now than in 1971?
Now they are fun sized!
Then show us your chart genius ..
3% per year for 100 years. Thats the chart.
Ah, from a guy who has left us a veritable plethora of his pearls of wisdom since he appeared here. Genius indeed.

0''So long as we have a debt based currency, where $1 of gov't debt = $1 currency issuance, the debt growth is impossible to control BY DESIGN. Each auction must retire the old debt plus interest, meaning the new debt must always be larger than the old debt so there is enough currency to retire the old debt plus interest.
For that reason, the deb ceiling is theater. MEANINGLESS THEATER.
The day they created the Federal Reserve the Congress lost the authority to decide HOW LITTLE to spend. The minimum spending to keep the monetary system afloat is not discretionary.
Congress only gets to decide HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL to spend, and whom to spend it on.
Since 2008 the government's compound debt growth went parabolic.
Congress only choice is to spend the new money... or to design a new monetary system''.
PERIOD.

Hello, this is 2009, we'd like to have our headline back, thanks.
The FR can cause an actual war and it will not be the first time.
You don't think we are at war right now? What really constitutes a REAL war?
Really?
Okay, let's create a scenario, where the Fed. is so desperate, that they need to nationalize the $USD.
The citizenry of the world has been financially RAPED for almost EIGHT years by the $usd and ponzi euro.
I mean, we're worried about destroying{ed} pensions, and endless spending. Then out of no~where comes this financial prudence?
Those fuckers are desperate/ The petro$ reinvestment trade is toast on a shit sandwich, smothered in Saudi blood.
That giant sucking sound you hear is the mother of all capital flight out of the United States. It's right in front of your eyes... and when it happens you'll say it was "unpredictable". Dare to think the unthinkable.
If NIRP is deployed it'll speed the procees immensely, although the flight may be internal as well as external.
What conditions trigger capital flight?
Our wizards at the Fed could Google it. From Wikipedia:
Capital flight, in economics, occurs when assets or money rapidly flow out of a country, due to an event of economic consequence. Such events could be an increase in taxeson capital or capital holders or the government of the country defaulting on its debt that disturbs investors and causes them to lower their valuation of the assets in that country, or otherwise to lose confidence in its economic strength.
This leads to a disappearance of wealth, and is usually accompanied by a sharp drop in the exchange rate of the affected country - depreciation in a variable exchange rate regime, or a forced devaluation in a fixed exchange rate regime.
Let's see. How many of those things apply to the United States?
Maybe I should get my hearing checked since the giant sucking sound I hear is the mother of all capital flight out of China and into the United States and other western destinations.
Oh yea Tarabel,,, the wealth effect of that is just, well, underwhelming.
You are referring to the ones who bought an investor visa and are pricing normal people out of desirable real estate markets with their stolen money? China is glad to be rid of them. And if the value of their investment is cut in half as well as their home value, they won't mind because it's pure profit.
Money chases growth. It's not here. In our arrogance we thought the global financial network could only benefit us. Our government is insufficiently nimble. That's the nice way of saying other governments are willing to let their people suffer more than we are. There will be growth in the places that make growth possible.
More interesting stuff from Koos Jansen:
Year to date withdrawals from the vaults of the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) came in at a staggering 1,958 tonnes on 25 September 2015 – a record high – according to data released by the SGE on Friday.
****
On Thursday the PBOC published a press release on its website that states the weight of the new Panda bullion coins will no longer be denominated in troy ounces but in a grams. The global standard for bullion coins is troy ounces, the Chinese are now going solo by changing their base weight. Internationally gold is quoted in US dollars per troy ounce, while the Chinese price gold in yuan per gram. The decision to mint the new Panda’s in grams can be seen as Chinese gold policy is becoming more independent, breaking away from the US dominated sphere.
The new Panda coins will be launched 28 October 2015. Gold Panda coins will be available in 1 gram, 3 gram, 8 gram, 15 gram, 30 gram, 50 gram, 100 gram, 150 gram and 1 kilogram, and silver Panda coins in 30 gram, 150 gram and 1 kilogram.
Good catch Tinky. If they get those billions of Chinese to buy some physical Gold (especially after the shock of the dropping stock market) they can make the kill shot on the Dollar. What's the U.S. going to do, show fake pictures from Fort Knox?
And you know...they are making the unit of measurement something the Grandma's and Cab Drivers can deduce value from; they probably have the same reaction to the Troy Ounce as I do when someone tells me my weight in Kilograms - "What's that in the King's English?".
I'm sensing that this is a game-changing move on Chinas part. Almost like a divorce. Will price be next?
There it is, proof that Carter was correct. If Jimmy Carter had been able to switch the US to Kilograms and Kilometers, the US dollar would be able to be the Reserve Currency for another 100 years from then.....
///s
The Panda and others Kilogram bar has already been the norm for international investment.
Expect option #2, slow agonizing death, to be the preferred choice of criminal banksters everywhere. Nice and easy let down, position themselves and fuck us every step of the way.
Pray it gets out of hand and goes to hell fast.
You know,,, we all want the FED gone. ( at least most of us ) but we still bicker over insignificant stuff like what, why and where. Who cares?
Bring back the silver/gold Certificates, silver coin and most of all
End the damn FED before it Ends us!
The US prepared for WWII by devaluing it's currency compared to gold, thus triggering inflation, job growth, and a stronger industrial sector. So if the FEd is preparing for war, then Gold should be going up in dollars. Deflation, unemployment, and a falling industrial sector is the worst way to prepare for war so in that case gold would be going down in dollars. Right now, gold is whipsawing around the 200 day moving average so maybe the FEd (ruling bankers) haven't made up their mind. Russia is now an adversay but if they can turn China, then Russia loses, the war is over, and gold falls in dollar terms. But if China cannot be turned and challenges the US navy, then a real hot war is on and gold goes up in dollar.
Also although it is true that Kissinger backed the dollar by oil in the 1970's, oil is now becoming as plentiful geographically as coal is thanks to the technology of fracking, and oil is thus losing it's value as the most important tradable commodity between countries (as gold was before oil). So the dollar is being backed by less and less. Eventually the most important currencies will be those that yield a positive rate of return; but if the US stays in a deflationary scenario, then it would retain it's value (trhe value of US bonds, though the same goes for Japanese or Eurobonds) even thought the interest rates are zero.
So the conclusion is that the dollar/yen/euro are no longer backed by gold or oil, but by deflation; designed on purpose by the ruling banks to keep the value of their currencies to world trade. Only if inflation hits, say due to a war, then all hell breaks loose.
Three powers in the game and think the bluff has already been called.
USA tries to turn China against Russia but if China turns and follows the USA then it is ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE USA TURNS ON CHINA AFTER DEFEATING RUSSIA. Make no mistake no other nation can be allowed to threaten the current solitary superpower especially if "you have to lie, thieve, steal and wage war in all forms" to get what you want.
From that perspective I am going to suggest Chinan and Russia now realise divided they cannot stand against the banking cartel because actions will be taken to keep you in your place. This is the reality of what happened to the USSR and any other nation that becomes a threat in some form or just for plain old greed, got the firepower, we can take that.
So will Russia be the next one to be attacked and will China be suckers to let it happen then find themselves in Russia's position. There is an equivalent scenario going on right now, bad boys on the block Greece and the EU no matter what Greece does or not do it will be kept in its place forever or until the EU falls.
It's not the Economy, Stupid - It's the Economists!
The "Drone" papers, which have become viral - that have been leaked and published by the Intercept are really telling in the organization of the US Military operations and by extrapolation, US Government operations:
SNAFU nails it perfectly.
In the ME nobody knows who their allies are, nor who to arm; so they are all allies and all get armed except the civilians who get killed. It is policy to KILL first so that this situation does not become Public Domain. Cannot have the competencies of the US War Machine being questioned.
But the competence of the US WAR Machine now has no clothes.
https://theintercept.com/drone-papers/the-assassination-complex/
So, why would the "markets" cum "Casinos" be any different"
Does anybody really believe that the markets are today about "Investment"?
Does anybody really believe that these so called "Economists" with their Economic Theory have anything to do with reality? If you believe this, then you are in full Uncertainty mode and nothing can save you. (Risk being computable Uncertainty)
"Fear"? Volativity indicates fear and desperation, indeed, just look at thermodynamics; water-pipe shudder. The markets are being destroyed now by their own "turbulence" aka "water-pipe shudder". And soon this turbulence will be fully developed.
As Minsky said, and I paraphrase: 'Stability leads to instability'. But we are Human Beings and can transcend these physical limitations; but we don't, so are we just mere proto-humans, under-developed, cognitively lazy, dishonest and prefer to wallow in an ignorance of self agenda, rather than to evolve? Answer: Yes.
But working hard at remaining Stupid for your whole life, is the preferred option.
This Global "leadership" Collapse has been brought about by the elite Global Economists that direct and influence Monetary and Fiscal Policy (and "Economic Theory: -sic). Bankers are morally and ethically out-of-control due to the actions of these same "Economists", their Corporate Mercenaries, and the looming collapse accelerated by the FedRes's premeditated and intentional cutting off the unwashed masses from access to the network flows and sources of wealth generated as fiat currency: IOW, irresponsible ignorance; led and fortified by unadulterated ego, arrogance and bias in favour of their own social class.
These so-called Economists" know nothing of any importance to Society nor Humanity but have created the climate /environment / milieu (again) for vast class criminality against Humanity itself, by their ken. Yes, it is the Economists and their blind stupidity that have led the World to the edge.
Anybody that listens to any of these Economists and or the FedRes and or any Central Banker deserves what they get, that is, Death by 1,000 cuts, and, there is now total certainty of this outcome, mileage will vary.
Economics and Economic Theory(s) are crass nonsense; rubbish; garbage and witch-doctory; barbaric relics left over from the Paleolithic Age and its knuckle-dragger fundamentalist and irrational faith based, politicalized Cultism which divine false dogma in order to rule the masses and extract continuous streams of profits -therefrom .
The Global Banking System is an un-natural and captured Parasitical drip feed that is targeted not to fully benefit Humanity as the innate Rights of free-born, nor civilization as an objective undertaking, but, merely to the enriched fulfillment of a few Banker families and their vassal servants. But, its global network is now broken; shattered in fact, their own hand; by courtesy of the FedRes itself and its owner TBTF Bankers, by the valued assets of Humanity and its wealth productivity being manipulated directly into the coffers of this elite select few. There is now, no wealth per se being created; the FedRes's actions have closed employment, entrepreneurial creation, Capitalism itself.The system of Western Civilization is now defunct; you can now hear the screams. It has collpased for the West.
Get over it, because it is over.
If you want to blame some group, place it where it belongs: on Economic Theory(s) as it is pure and utter Bullshit and can and has been proven so. Who supports this crap but Economists (sic) and who do these Economists (sic) owe their loyalty and servitude? Answer: To the Banking system; in turn, the Bankers control the Banking system and the political structures and organization of all nations.
If an analogy were to be drawn here imagine the grape vine (the motif of Sir Francis Bacon aka William Shakespeare). See all the bunches of grapes as nations and all the grapes as states and all within those grapes, that is, the structure and organizations, as humanity. From where does the vines get its vitality? Answer: from its roots deep within the fertile soils.
Where do the grapes get their nourishment? From the vine (read: circulation network / infrastructures) which funnel / channel/ feed /'deliver the necessary nutrients from the roots; and the environment (milieu). It is the same in the human body and all life systems -excepting the Banking System of the proto-human.
Where is the vine's Banking system as we have today, so miserable and arrogant - as well as so ignorant? It is attached to the vine itself; a parasite called 'die-back' that kills its host. And this parasite has its agents called Economists, as well as servants, called Politicians.
As to the emerging nations (EM), the enemy is within and rules ------>> You. It is called rot and begins at the head.
Expect a complete collapse of the West led by the USA.

No, the world is not ending; just the dominance of the decadent West and the United States of America.
The vine serves the grapes; the fruits of its creation.
The Banks serve themselves.
If you receive a shekel from the Establishment, it is for you to shut down your Humanity and human potential so as to benefit: 'they that would be king'.
You can be free or enslaved; the choice is entirely yours. Yes, stupidity is a choice.
And the Day it begins to be obvious to everybody; even the Stupid.

This is an Universal Event.
Enjoy.
Ho hum
Not Bad. ;-) Feels good to get it out... Doesn't it?
I find it odd that ZH has basically ignored "The Drone Papers", it is absolutely first rate journalism. Perhaps too much competition for the same eyeballs?
Not to bothered if the economic world collapses because ...
Trade that universal process occurs naturally and even in the darkets depresssion / recession work and trade will occur although you might find it is a (not evolved) major population extinction event like the dinosaurs.
Corporations even are dinosaurs, very often without the protection of governments you can undercut and compete against them. Seen that in one company, couple of outlets became a national chain in a very short span of time because they offered good value and what the customer wanted and that principle operates even in a depression.
Those corporations like Microsoft, Apple, GM and so many others are not even forced to compete being able to run a monopoly through bribing (call it economic support if you want it still a bribe) politicians.

To Those True Believers in the Omnipotence of the Federal Reserve, repeat after me:
Oh Divine one, we beseech thee - save us from eternal damnation and impoverishment
Protect our Portfolios with heavenly intervention from the Plunge Protection Team
Support our Values and lead us into further Temptation - shorting the VIX
Deliver us from the Iniquity of the Gold Whoremongers
For Thine is the Power of Might and Right, forever and ever
In the Name of the Kingdom of Eccles
Amen

Randy Newman - I Think It's Going To Rain Today

Ghey
the street is full of beans:
[I]f the Fed does not raise its target policy rate, other countries will have to take further action to ease up further on their economic policies. The European Central Bank will extend its quantitative easing. The Bank of England will not raise its policy rates...
that's the most fucktarded logic i have ever read. I suppose they missed the barrage of propaganda from the eu, the imf, china, japan, and everywhere else BEGGING THE FED NOT TO RAISE RATES? if the usa stock market or usa demand for consumer goods (or both) goes down the toilet THEY ARE ALL FUCKED. they will all devalue in any event. there is nothing they would like better than the fed to do MOAR BITCHEZ. methinks something stinks at the street. maybe someone is paying them to help crash the market? maybe they own vix calls? hell i think it would be funny to watch the fed hike even thirteen bps but i doubt it will happen.
The FED walked itself into a corner it should never have done the bailout in 2008 but let the carnage start and a proper recovery occur.
Would have been brutual but from where I am sitting internationally now most nations are going to be hammered whatever the FED does that doing nothing in the beginning would have been better.
Heads I win, tails you lose is now applied to the FED.
The stage is set, The west(US/UK/House of Saud/Israel) verses The east (Russia/China/Iran). Victory = UN world dominance, the only question becomes what each side agrees must be destroyed tit for tat with the west losing more ie: The West losing New York and a few other large Metro's, Taiwan, London, Golan Heights, Mecca, 3/4 of the US fleets. The East a few "ghost" cities, Vladivostok, Tehran? Once the dust settles "Blue" helmets become the world norm carrying baskets of "SDR's".
Through the global reserve dollar the rest of the population lost their liberty, that is how far this spreads.
Some litle backwater town in the USA with a few residents is nothing compared to a nation forced to trade in dollars for so many things but not able to make those in the FED accountable.
Wait till the FED does a rate hike, implements NIRP or uses QE again and see how it affects you because everything is measured in dollars.
If I'm not mistaken Mac Slavo is another economic refugee washed ashore and waking up to the fact his adopted USA is not quite the land of milk and honey he had pictured in all his sweet adolescent dreams about fawning young buxom SoCal blondes, Mustang convertibles and the Governator pumping us all up.
Welcome to the party sweetheart.
looks like a currency war, and the world cannot afford a currency war at this time.
We have a probloem though and it is how the USA manipulates the dollar for its own ends that should not be the global reserve currency. This is the problem with global domination if you are manipulating values to position yourself better all the time.
e.g.So Brazil trades in dollars, awesome now the USA manipulates the dollar to enure it remains comepetative to Brazil but Brazil is not allowed to print dollars to rebalance the FED action. Even better old Abe's in Japans CTRL-P has serious ramifications for the Pacific rim under the same argument.
If you dig deep enough, you can never have free trade BECAUSE IT IS VIOLATED BY ALL AT THE CURRENCY LEVEL THAT YOU MAY AS WELL IMPOSE TRADE BARRIERS / SUBSIDIES.
So does that not suggest for Obama to chase down free trade east and west is rubbish and more to freeing up coporate / banker activities east / west and no it is not to better popuolations. Who is in fact eatng who here?

There is no alternative. It has to be a long slow painful death. The decision has been made to kick the can further down the road. At this stage Mr Janet is only concerned with preserving her own legacy as the current Chairman of the Fed.
The sky is falling, really... I'm sure it's falling.
The sky already fell...guess you missed it.
Currency wars since… 30-36 AD.
Add it up. Potter’s Field was purchased for 30 pieces of silver. Even in Detroit a lot is more than $480. (20 silver eagles X $16.00 each.)
"Already things are hovering dangerously on edge, and squeezing in tightly..."
Basically what "the doomer" crowd have been saying for years, that "on the edge of a precipice" mantra, is just about to tumble right now and........nothing!
Currency wars supposedly help you export more products as you devalue your money. Since we don't make large volume things anymore, the concept of currency wars is near pointless. The devaluation of currency is a debt issue- paying off past debts with cheaper future money. Actually, not even paying it off, but pretending to cover it. Just a little more stretching of the bubble.
One thing worth noting is that the Great Depression from 1932-1942 was basically an inflationary period. Deflation and inflation often develop concomitantly. Economic statistics like GDP and CPI are far too crude to describe the economic environment. Such simplistic statistics hide far more than they reveal, which is presumably intentional.
Economic statistics are conflated with so-called data all the time. The economics dished out to the public is grossly misleading and most of what passes for reasoned analysis is based upon nothing but fallacies. Liberal progressivism is often contrasted with Randian objectivism, but both derive from logical positivism spiffed up to look like empirical/theoretical science. Fascism is what I call all of it...fascism funded by financial fraud, aided and abetted by economic propaganda.
"If the Federal Reserve does not raise interest rates, the value of the US dollar will fall"
That's their hope, but the reality is that the US dollar hasn't fallen. Instead, it keeps getting stronger relative to other currencies. Moreover, deflation has taken firm hold in the commodity sector and you can expect that to move up the value-added chain. Thus, we can expect our dollars to buy more, no matter what the Fed does.
"How did the Federal Reserve get so much power over the American economy – and that of the world’s? There have been many stages of the theft which are too numerous to list..."
No. Just one stage: Bretton Woods. The US was the only functional industrial economy following WWII, so everyone decided that it should be the reserve currency. That's how we got power over the world economy.
There's nothing complicated about this.
The DOW cannot maintain its current level with a rising US$.
And since the 1% is ALL that matters, the DOW MUST NOT FALL!
Therefore, the US$ must fall ( first by not raising rates, then
by QE, and then by NIRP ( after everyone else has gone NIRP )).
Hard asets must therefore necessarily rise...
I keep ordering the Coke and popcorn, sitiing back waiting for it to happen. But the $ just keeps getting stronger. I feel cheated.
"The Street.com" is not an authority worth paying attention to. This item is mostly uninformed and useless. The Chinese have been selling hundreds of billions of dollars worth of US Treasury securities to PREVENT the yuan from falling further. They are aware of the dangers of an all-out currency war are are determined to prevent it. This is in line with its long-term goal of reserve status for its currency along with the dollar, pound, euro and yen.
