PBS Frontline to air "The Power of the Fed" investigative documentary Tues 7-13 10pm et

Former Fed insiders are involved so it's probably safe to say that this is sanctioned by the Fed and imo is the start of the popping of the multitude of bubbles it has created, heading into the periodic but usual fall crash period. It doesn't sound like the show will reflect very positively on the central bank's policies of free money to member banks, which causes the bubbles that eventually result in Main St losing their shirts, while Wall St gets richer and no one ever goes to jail for breaking laws.

JPow goes in front of Congress the following two days...

The fed has clearly done more harm than good this entire calendar year . There is no other way to spin that .

Straight up pro-Fed propaganda IMHO.

Straight up pro-Fed propaganda IMHO.

It looked to me to be about 60% negative, 20% positive (Alien Kashkari's excuses, mainly) and 20% hand-washing/distancing by former Fed officials. I didn't see much that the average viewer would think reflects positively on the Fed. Wall St gets richer, millionaires become billionaires, bailing out corporations....but hey, Kaskhari says at least you still have your shitty taxed job so be happy pleb.

The Fed's dual mandate is max employment and stable prices. Max employment to facilitate income tax collection to pay the national debt interest (plus the Fed's 6% annual stock dividend to shareholders) and stable prices so the taxpayers don't complain too much about the taxes. We can toss the stable price mandate out the window lately. They've shown that taxes really aren't even needed with MMT. It's just a way to funnel your labor into the pockets of the Fed's shareholders and national debt holders and to keep the laboring plebs' ability to challenge their owners suppressed. Just work the shit job, pay the taxes, watch the idiot box and eat the GMOs. And now, add take the shots to the list.

I watched it. Kashkari was the only person who who made a forceful case for Fed policies. Two former Fed officials make a tepid case. And about ten people blamed the Federal Reserve on every single thing. Some good points about risks and moral hazard were made but the whole thing was a borderline hit piece on the Federal Reserve.

I came away with the impression that it was saying, "they did the best they could, given the circumstances, and none of it was their fault - everyone else didn't behave in the spirit of how we wanted them too."

That's is almost exactly what Kashkari said when he said regulators were the problem. He was the one person who made the case for Fed policy they included to make it seemed balanced.

Everyone else blamed the Fed for everything. Wealth inequality, stock buybacks, climate change, and whatever the outrage of the day is. I don't what the right policy is for money but I automatically know when someone mentions stock buybacks, the person is a glue sniffer.

While true (we could expect nothing else from an Establishment-funded mouthpiece), there are two important points that should not be overlooked: 1) The fact that this documentary had to be made at all (damage-control) shows that there is a tangible shift occurring in the public consciousness in respect to central banking (fueled, in part, by the emergence and growth of Bitcoin) and 2) the long-run impact of the Ron Paul movement and allied movements should not be measured in terms of congressional seats etc. but in terms of changed minds.

As a movement, we may be questioning, "What is our purpose??" since Ron Paul clearly will not be running again for President. But here it is right in front of you -- the Fed does not want to talk publicly about the Fed. And yet they are forced to. That's progress. And when you're dealing with a global behemoth like this, any sign of progress at all is momentous. I wouldn't waste time reading the script or thinking about how this damage-control piece is designed to manage and quell John Q Public's potential outrage. Rather, I look at the fact that the damage-control is required at all. Watch the behavior of the officials who are being interviewed -- defensiveness is always a good sign and shows that they themselves are losing confidence in their own "unquestionable" claims to power...

Those are the good news. Number three is bad news: They're trying to replace it with a global variant, still backed by nothing, still enriching the banks, still inflating your wages and savings away, still printed by them and them alone.

That is true. The real question is whether they can pull off a digital-1933 gold heist again. "Turn in your Bitcoins or spend 10 years in Federal prison and pay a $10M fine." Otherwise, cryptoheads will just ignore the fake digital currency and it will collapse under its own stupidity.

I dont think the avg guy thinks the fed is influencing climate or care about stock buy backs but otherwise it is going to be a hard sell that they are doing anything with the avg citizen in mind when they publicly support graft bills like this trillions in infrastructure that obviously further devalues the dollar while people are seeing real inflation for the first time in many of their lives.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Danke again.

I didn't watch it but Peter Schiff reviewed it and he said they weren't upset with the fed for creating inflation, just that they were giving the printed money to the rich. So apparently if the fed would helicopter drop money in a poor neighborhood that would be great according to pbs.
