The tell, a bit of poker jargon, is that the DOJ issued the criminal referral.
When one cannot audit a private institution, which the Fed most certainly is, the only way one can crystallize elucidation is to utilize the discovery process in a criminal or civil proceeding.
What the DOJ has very cleverly done here is to bypass the OWNED AND OPERATED CONGRESS, which I may add, has refused to audit the Fed every single time the subject is brought up.
What Trump has done, is to force the audit using the criminal & civil process of discovery. Any refutation of compliance with compelled discovery then holds the obfuscatory party in contempt of court and subject to criminal and / or civil sanction. The secondary benefit is the use of the age old wisdom, "Me thinks thou doth protest too much" if and when the defendant(s) / respondent(s) feign persecution by the line of discovery questioning and try to gaslight their way out of an ever shrinking toolbox of options to escape accountability. It's simply bad optics by that time and each new utterance of privilege is met by an increasingly cacophonous public that has and IS being strip mined for taxes to pay for grift at every level of government as well as the chicanery of the Fed.
And this is the key phrase: " Let currencies compete"...if that is done, the only "money" left standing is gold, seconded by silver...the only two forms of trade authorized by Congress and recognized universally. The US is bankrupt with zero possibility of repaying debts. The only options are default or inflation. Simple logic and math.
Great historic reference. Jackson, a flawed soul and controversial figure, made America great again in that respect. Now we might hear history echo, if not repeat. 🤞
The Founding Fathers knew they could not trust posterity to men who issued paper currency and could use manipulation and false accounting to enslave the people to eternal debt so they required money to be gold and silver. The consequences of allowing the Federal Reserve to continue to exist are now becoming evident to anyone with eyes to see. Ron Paul is right, end the Fed!
Brilliant commentary and historical perspective, interpretation of history and the present 100%. I haven't read a better explanation of Fed policy, political favors, and abuse. The Fed is calling for Napoleonic period fabric designs, with $1200 per yard fabric, huge patterns, overall cost > $8,000 per chair. Only 20% Silk. For 1980's crappy GSA reproduction chairs. Powell is stupid, careless, and a crook.
JFK had realized the scheme. The Constitution specifically grants the power to create and print money to Congress, We gave that up in the election of Wilson, Now the Fed inserts the private banking cartel into that process, generating INTEREST, which would not exist if the Fed did not exist. JFK issued a EO to Congress to start printing money again, The two dollar bill that resulted represented an existential threat to the Fed. We all know what happened next....
I really hate to sound like I'm defending Powel or the Fed, but:
"March 2020. COVID hits. The Fed drops rates to zero"
Trump was still president then.
"June 2022. Inflation hits nine point one percent. Powell pivots. Zero to five point five in sixteen months."
All during Biden's term.
"Zero during Biden despite high inflation. Five point five during Trump despite falling inflation."
Not really.
What bothers me most about the Fed is that one of the charter purposes of the Fed is stable prices. They have clearly failed at this. Today, everything except "tech" products costs roughly 10 times as much in nominal terms than it did when I was a young man. Is this the fault of the Fed? No, not really. It's the fault of our Congress, which consistently spends more than it takes it. Yes, that's enabled by the Fed, but sometimes I wonder this wouldn't be even worse if we gave the power to print money back to Congress.
Another Home Run....the FED is the Machine that the Elites use to control our plebeian manners! Your range of knowledge, and perceptiveness is phenomenal. ANDY JACKSON was our only real PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT! He cut off the head of the serpent...but regenerated itself with greater powers over WE THE PEOPLE! THANK YOU!
The FEDERAL RESERVE BANK is a PRIVATE BUSINESS and as such, its officers and employees are subject to lawful investigations upon suspicions of illegal actions.
The FEDERAL GRAND JURY process is a search for evidence of such wrongdoing.
We are all subject to it…and it is a “brain-breaking” process, unlike the made for TV productions which we are exposed to.
The Process is undertaken under strictly enforced secrecy. No judge to moderate, no attorney as advocate...no limits on what can be asked. The prosecutorial team attacks in shifts...no break for the 'witness', FBI agents paying attention for inconsistancies...perjury is the normal outcome, even they if don't find what they're looking for. After 9 hours over 3 sessions...I beat them...but they broke my mind! Will they ever force elite FED officers through this real procedure...I firmly doubt it! At 75, I couldn't withstand it again like I did at 33!
Powell's Fed independence is now questioned. Half of America believes institutions are captured. Half believes they're independent. Foreign powers don't need to attack the Fed—they just need Americans to stop trusting it. Broken institutions = broken empire. I mapped out how this exact fracture becomes a geopolitical weapon. If you're feeling the system is rigged, this explains why:
Good summary EKO.

The key is forcing the Fed into the "discovery" process. When what has been hidden becomes revealed, there will be no unseeing the obvious.

And the current man in the Oval Office hangs a portrait of Andrew Jackson in it. Times are indeed getting curiouser and curiouser.

Gold and silver are God's honest money.

Missing the point.
March 2020 = COVID “emergency”. Bipartisan.
The pattern is what came after.
Zero rates DURING 9% inflation (2021-2022, Biden term).
Then 5.5% rates DURING 3% inflation (2023-2024, into Trump).
Reversal happened with the political shift.

“Jackson’s zero proved self-governance was possible.”
no way! a southerner? a slave owner? an indian remover?
