This was my second guest appearance on the Anarchast Podcast. Jeff does an excellent job with his questions. There were lots of comments criticizing my statements about the Federal Reserve. I have addressed them but will also do the same here bellow the video.
My views on the Fed have changed over the last few years. This is mostly due to reading Martin Armstrong who is a true Economic Historian. I now see the Fed in a slightly different light. There is so much on his website that there is no way to link it all here, but these are just a few of the articles he has made in 2015 to help people understand the current financial system and how we got here:
The Federal Reserve: Part I “The Creature from Jekyll Island”
Understanding Jackson’s Bank War
The Federal Reserve: Part III – The Takeover
The Federal Reserve: Part IV – The Bankers Strike Bank
Martin also address the famous Rothschild’s quote: “Let me control a nation’s currency, and I care not who makes its laws“:
Rothschild’s Famous Quote Likely Made-Up
Rothschilds – Fact or Disinformation to Protect the Guilty
Here are more links about the Fed and many other things finance that i strongly recommend (again from the same source). There is more useful info on his site (info that will actually help you understand and PROFIT from the market)
