Let me issue and control a nation’s money and I care not who writes the laws.” —Mayer Amschel Rothschild[40]
The 1893 and 1907 downturns in the economy were used as an excuse for the first major American venture into corporatism since Andrew Jackson had smashed the 2nd Bank of the US in 1836.[14] In a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, GA, in 1910, Senator Nelson Aldrich, Senate Republican whip; Abraham Andrew, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury; Frank Vanderlip, President of the National City Bank and representative of John D. Rockefeller; Henry Davison, senior partner of the J. P. Morgan Company; Charles Norton, President of the First National Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong, head of J. P. Morgan's Banker's Trust Company; and finally Paul Warburg, partner in Kuhn, Loeb & Company and representative of the Rothschild banking dynasty in England and France met to discuss a new central bank for the US.[15] This secret meeting was the germ from which the Federal Reserve was spawned. It was nothing less than a coupe by the elite bankers, taking control over the US money supply since the Federal Reserve is not federal at all, it is a collection of 12 privately held banks, nor is it a reserve since they literally create money out of thin air.[16]
The original mandate of the Federal Reserve was to maintain the value of the dollar while keeping the economy healthy and stable. In both cases the Fed has failed miserably as the value of the dollar has plummeted 95% since 1913[17]while there have been major recessions and the “Great Depression” along with the “Great Recession” under the guidance of the Fed. Of course when the real reason for creating the Fed was not to preserve the dollar or maintain a solid economy. But rather a way to pay for the ever increasing federal government,[18] funnel the wealth of the United States into the hands of a few well connected people, and ultimately as the way to control the population. In these tasks, the Fed has been masterful.
While the mainstream media has been busy distracting the American population[19] for decades away from the massive theft of their wealth through fractional banking and the Fed, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep the scale of the corruption under wraps anymore as the endgame of a cashless society is quickly approaching.
On 05/27/2016, Rootstrikers released a series of emails obtained by the group through a Freedom of Information Act[20] request that showed massive collusion between U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman and Wall Street executives Faryar Shirzad, Matt Niemeyer (both Goldman Sachs) and Tom Nides (Morgan Stanley) among others to strategize over the “Investor-State Dispute Settlement” (ISDS) provision contained in the TPP “trade” agreement. ISDS, would, in the words of one critic, Public Citizen’s Lori Wallach, “elevate individual investors to the status of a nation-state” in trade disputes. Not content with emails only, Froman assigned an aid to “pick the director’s brain” on the equally vile Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
The emails show in dramatic fashion that the US trade policy is being set by a collaborative team of corporate and government leaders who periodically swap positions for their mutual benefit. “They’re written as if they are being sent between colleagues,” says Dennis Kelleher of the watchdog group Better Markets. “That’s because the writers all have been, currently are or will be colleagues at major Wall Street firms.”[21] They should be a bombshell but just like Hillary’s “Servergate” problem, the main stream media is almost silent on it.
Froman has also actively recruited Wall Street bankers while deliberately not enforcing the trade violations laws. Froman was also still employed by Citibank when President Obama had him select his “economic” team.
Little mention has been made about how instrumental Froman was in the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act which separated investment and commercial banking sectors in 1999. Fewer still mention that he was paid over $4million when he left Citigroup to rejoin government employment as a US Trade Representative.[22]
Froman however, is a very small speck in the cesspool of US Government – Wall Street Bankster connection. Former US Attorney General Eric Holder, while working as deputy attorney general, wrote in 1999, what has become the defacto guide to how the government handled the reckless and illegal activities by bankers leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.[23] In the so-called Holder Doctrine, he warned of the dangers of prosecuting big banks—the precursor of the infamous “too big to fail” motto Obama has embraced. Holder’s memo asserted that “collateral consequences” from prosecutions—including corporate instability or collapse—should be taken into account when deciding whether to prosecute a big financial institution. Since leaving the office of Attorney General, Holder has reportedly returned to his old office at Covington & Burling, a huge law firm that represents most of the large US banks including Bank of America, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo.[24]
