Central Bankers Race Toward Global Currency Solution

By Staff Report
20

Central bankers are racing to shield their economies from fiscal tightening and lopsided currency swings that threaten a new global recession. In the 72 hours after a Group of Seven conference call on Aug. 7, the Federal Reserve pledged to keep interest rates near zero through at least mid-2013, the European Central Bank intervened in bond markets and the Bank of England indicated it's ready to add more stimulus if needed. Japan signaled renewed concern about the yen and Switzerland yesterday stepped up its fight to curb an "overvalued" franc. ... While the actions aren't as directly coordinated, the push is one of the broadest since the Fed, ECB and four other central banks cut interest rates together in October 2008 to limit fallout from Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.'s collapse. – Bloomberg

Dominant Social Theme: The experts at the world's central banks are on the job.

Free-Market Analysis: This Bloomberg article is just another in a long line of disappointing mainstream financial reports that does nothing to address the real issues causing the crisis and, in fact, does everything to try to misinform the public into believing that the "experts" have all under control.

Well, we do not think more jaw-jaw is what people want to hear right now, or that the money magicians are capable of doing anything to stop the rapid erosion of public confidence. And based on the recent upward move in Honest Money, it is quite obvious the markets don't want to hear it either.

Regardless of what Bloomberg wants people to believe, the world's central banks are NOT independent banks led by teams of "experts" dedicated to establishing prudent national monetary policy. No, they are nothing of the sort and never were intended to be. They are simply a cartel-like crime syndicate that operates under the direction of the Swiss-based "super central bank," the Bank for International Settlements. And the BIS is just one more tool in the arsenal of elite monetary control of the world.

The BIS sits like a great spider at the heart of the corrupt and ruinous central banking mechanism that the Anglo-American elite has successfully foisted upon the world. It coordinates the policies of these ruinous entities – not to any great effect – but to ensure that the Anglosphere maintains control of what it has built.

The Western elite's banking scheme is a central part of how the Anglosphere has managed to dominate the world behind the scenes. Through central banking and the BIS, the Anglo elites have a stranglehold over economies worldwide. Even though most of the world was aligned against a presumed to be corrupt BIS after World War II, it somehow managed to escape dissolution. This is because it is a prime asset of the City of London, that mysterious one-square mile patch of real estate at the heart of London where the Bank of England itself is located.

However, today all of the elite's poisonous machinations face an unprecedented decline in public confidence. And nowhere is the threat of total collapse more intense than on that most important elite edifice of all – the central banking system itself.

It is only the confidence of the public that enables the continuous printing of unrestrained fiat currencies – which combine to provide the base of an international Ponzi scheme. But something's happening around the world that the money masters didn't plan on. People are waking up.

But you wouldn't know it by reading articles like this one, excerpted above. No, Bloomberg, a mainstream media outlet to be sure, would rather you believe that there are sweaty-browed experts working around the clock to fix the situation. So what magic tools do they have? What are the experts doing about this financial mess? Here's more from the article:

Finance ministers and central bankers from the G-7 nations, which include the U.S., U.K. and Germany, said in a statement Aug. 7 that they will "take all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth in a spirit of close cooperation and confidence." ...

The next day, the Frankfurt-based ECB, which last week restarted its bond-purchase program after an 18-week hiatus, extended its focus to include debt of Italy and Spain, the region's third- and fourth-largest economies.

The Fed's decision Aug. 9 to hold its key interest rate at a record low through mid-2013 and signal it's ready to use additional tools comes as U.S. politicians are tightening the nation's fiscal belt and the economic stimulus enacted by President Barack Obama in 2009 comes to an end.

Bank of England Governor Mervyn King told reporters in London yesterday that headwinds buffeting the nation's economy are intensifying "by the day" and officials can expand stimulus if the outlook for growth deteriorates further.

Bank of Japan Governor Masaaki Shirakawa said Aug. 9 that volatile exchange rates could have a "negative impact" on the economy, after the central bank last week added 10 trillion yen ($130 billion) of stimulus and the country unilaterally intervened in the currency market to weaken the yen.

Switzerland's central bank said yesterday it will increase the supply of francs to fight the currency's "massive overvaluation."

That's it? The central banksters have decided to do MORE OF THE SAME. They're all going to work to make sure they "print-in sync" as much new money as "necessary" so that none of them face total collapse and threaten to take down the entire game? That's the plan? And they will directly intervene in the market to create the illusion of demand/strength by buying the garbage debt from countries like Spain and Italy? This is the plan? Isn't that called market manipulation?

Wow. Well, here's a better plan. Stop the insanity! You cannot fix a dysfunctional monetary system that is built on a fraudulent premise by simply increasing the degree of the crime. The impossibly wealthy families who desire one-world governance will stop at nothing – including the use of force – to complete their centuries-long mission. But arrogantly, they will refuse to cease their devious efforts and instead will try to use these crises to bind the masses into accepting a fear-based international monetary solution. Out of chaos… order.

In fact, just the other day one of China's faceless mouthpieces, the Xinhua News Agency, came out in an editorial to the world and stated, "International supervision over the issue of U.S. dollars should be introduced and a new, stable and secured global reserve currency may also be an option to avert a catastrophe caused by any single country."

And then there is this statement from Fed Chair Ben Bernanke, "Policy makers must respond forcefully, creatively and decisively ... crises that are international in scope require an international response."

Can't you just see the smile on Christine Lagarde's face as she gleefully embraces her new position as Head of the International Monetary Fund? For surely there is an IMF logo engraved on the international boot readying itself to slam down on the faces of current and future generations. But hold on a minute... will the puppets/experts running the world's central banks – and Money Power standing behind them – be able to pull off this global manipulation?

We're not so sure they will. And we certainly don't wish them luck.

All across the world, the modern Internet Reformation is beginning to reshape the way people relate to power in the modern age. While it is not as obvious as during the era of the Gutenberg Press, there is formal doctrine accepted by Western societies that is beginning to shatter. That formal doctrine may be termed regulatory democracy and it has been leavened with numerous assumptions that on closer inspection turn out not to be true. Like what money is and what it is not. And it is the Internet itself that allows for information to spread that undermines the various precepts of regulatory democracy.

It is this hierarchy that promulgates regulatory democracy and its various dominant social themes – the fear-based promotions that the Western power elite uses to control the conversation and to further centralize power and authority worldwide.

And one of those fear-based promotions that the masses have been bombarded with is the "expert" theme. The public is constantly being promoted into accepting a passive position with respect to how the financial world operates. They are meant to be overwhelmed with facts and complicated economic formulas so they feel helpless, confused and generally incapable of mastering their own financial destinies. After all, how could anyone understand such a complex subject as money?

Well, all around the world people are starting to understand that the system is rigged and money really isn't complicated at all. The Internet Reformation reveals the cartel's synchronized efforts to manipulate public confidence so they can continue their fraudulent and manipulative wealth redistribution game.

Conclusion: The reality of the situation is this: there are no magic monetary tools that can fix the global monetary crises hidden in the basement of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, or any of the others. The fiat money instruments themselves – dollars, euros, yen, etc. – ARE THE PROBLEM.

And in this alternative media-led 'Net era, the old men hiding behind the central banking curtains are starting to look rather pathetic. The illusion is fading and people are waking up. In fact, the European Union is failing, various serial wars of conquest are not going well, and the fear-based memes of the elite are continually being debunked by an Internet that adds more to humankind's real knowledge base every day. It will take decades if not centuries to control the damage that has already been done (from an elite standpoint), and what has been done cannot be undone.

Will the international power elite lose their destructive ability to create money out of nothing and their control over legislative power that currently prohibits private money competition? Will the elite be forced to take a step back in the face of a massive public awakening? Or will an Orwellian-style society be forcibly foisted upon us all with the UN, IMF, World Bank, BIS, NATO, WHO, ICC and all the other edifices of world government eventually in control of every aspect of our lives? Only time will tell, but the Internet Reformation gives one great hope that the "best laid plans will be laid to rest."

Do you have any links to source information about the Swiss Central Bank printing money?

Reply from The Daily Bell

Although the Swiss Central Bank sometimes represents what is best for Switzerland just as often it works closely with other central banks to further the interests of the central bank cartel.

Don't use their product anymore. Close all bank accounts. Buy gold and silver coins. Buy food, water, medicine, guns, and ammo. Use cash and money orders for bill paying. Cut the banks off. Stand back and watch the bankers fall.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Please be advised that Great Internet Gamers are XXXXStreamly busy at Work, REST* and Play. And would boldly go into Alternate Fields of Truthful Reality trailing and trialing Beta Virtually Advanced IntelAIgent Operating Systems for Future Reality Presentations.

Although posted slightly earlier elsewhere on a not entirely unrelated matter, the following is equally appropriate ringing bells here, methinks.

[quote]amanfromMars,

There are whole nations starting to realise that their administrations are probably, all too easily, quite criminal and in league with fantasy money markets, to artificially inflate their bank balances beyond that which the public purse and ponzi credit scams and permanent debt schemes are designed to deliver and maintain/sustain.

Westminster, the Mother of all Parliaments has lost the plot and runs with crooked intelligence, and the world knows, and sees right through such twits and toffs as are so full of themselves in their plays to the gallery and stalls and media with heroically empty rhetoric?

Plan B please, Dave, or forever be realised as the complete wally who never saw the Great IntelAIgent Game Waves coming.

The Arab Spring turns into a Naked Short Sell of an Anglo Saxon Autumn .... and that requires more of a SMARTer IntelAIgent Service response than pontificating media puppets, stripped and/or bereft of virtual intelligence services supply, can ever hope to present and deliver of the future.

PS ..... It would be both negligent and naive, to the point of a criminal dereliction of duty and provision of care, to not imagine that the twin problems of studious ignorance and crass class arrogance endemic in present Western capitalist society models, will not very quickly explode and cause catastrophic mayhem and colossal financial losses, right at the top of the pyramid tree, should new intelligence not be embraced and used to boot up a New Global Operating System with Novel Virtual Drivers ..... which should be recognised for the APT Offer that it is and IT can deliver, rather than imagined as anything else at all sinister and/or something completely different.

Please share and wire this APT Offer widely, for it is not a secret to be squirreled away from the light of day and human knowledge...... IT is paid for and free.

This from BBC News.

France,Italy,Spain,Belgium have banned short selling on the shares of
banks and other financial stock.
It follows sharp gains and looses in bank stocks in recent days,
especially in France, on fears about their exposure to Euro zone government
Debt.

This is how I would of written the above.

The Eurocrats at the behest of their banking uber bosses have instructed the
financial Gestapo to outlaw betting against our cr** fraudulent fiat.
This will be strictly enforced.We will not tolerate any impediment to short honest money. Gold and Silver. Further more as a defence against honest money terrorists we will increase margin calls as we see fit.

Yet through it all the conspiracy of fraud is unravelling.

If ever the above is realised by enough, quick enough.
We can break this bondage.PMs are the key.
A little in many hands is still possible, I urge you all to grab as much as you can. The PE are determined to enslave you in their debt.
Their Achilles heel PMs.
PMs some say are not perfect, that may be true.
Lets debate that once we have flushed out these parasites. If the market
"YOU" decide PMs are far better than we have ,they are toast.

What would haunt me for the rest of my enslaved life is if I never tried .
When there is a way out. Yes it will be one hell of a fight.

"take all necessary measures to support financial stability and growth in a spirit of close cooperation and confidence." ...
Yes, I like that one. The Irish guaranteed deposits to draw capital from the rest of the EU. The A.A. elites attacked the Euro to save the dollar. There are numerous other examples.
Possibly, there IS cooperation at the CB level. At the banker level, it's every man for himself. Soros squeezed $ 1 billion out of GB. Someone else just made a $ billion or so shorting U.S. debt just before the credit downgrade.
The CBs cooperated in trying to abolish the veneration of gold. It worked for a while. After Brown's bottom, they threw in the towel.

Look at it from a different perspective. The bankers looked down on all that dirty-work; productivity,,, bricks and mortar. The real money was in financial dealings. The blockheads knew finance but didn't have a clue as to history;
Click to view link
Financialization is a bust.
They belatedly discovered that productivity is a distasteful but, NECESSARY endeavor.
Ah, but it was TOO late. To take advantage of global-wage-arbitrage, they had shipped out all the jobs. Market-share in manufacturing was gone. China has over 800 million in the workforce. In a deluded attempt to regain market-share, they trashed the dollar.

The Swiss trashed the franc,, the Japanese trashed the Yen, ETC, ETC. Showing once again that they didn't have a clue, the CBs printed to hold or regain market share in manufacturing. Did they actually believe that they could undercut the labor market of China? Did they think that they could get around the Chinese dollar peg?

Did the CBs not understand that runaway currency inflation would bring price inflation?
Did history not teach them that wage suppression and price inflation destroys consumption? Suppose that the West drives it's producers down to a wage that is par with the BRICs? Who will they sell to?

Not to worry, GOV is on the job. The consumer has no buying power,,, no problem. GOV will do all the buying. The banks were OK with this. Keynes, et al believed that GOV has UNLIMITED good credit. This belief is starting to erode.

Furthermore, the banks are not looking solvent.

The experts from GOV are hard at work,,, trying to solve a demand-side problem with supply-side solutions. There are 2 billion people in the world who are willing to work for survival wages. They were thrown into the global labor market by the perfection of containerized shipping. Western capitalists welcomed them with trade agreements. That "giant sucking sound" is all the money being sucked out of the pockets of the Western consumer.
But wait, that Western [no longer] consumer is the person who has to pay for interest and principle on all those bonds and investments held by the uber-capitalists. The mesmerizing attraction of global wage arbitrage blinded the bankers to the fact that slave-laborers don't consume very much or pay taxes.

GOV currently pays $ 10 billion a week for debt service and borrows $ 4 billion a day. The $ 400 billion rise in the debt ceiling will last about 100 days. Obummer needs a lot more than 100 days to get re-elected.
America is working diligently to destroy the Euro and be the beneficiary of any flight-to-safety. At the moment, it's working quite well.
I don't see a lot of cooperation on a global currency. It may eventually get down to a BIS--IMF war.

Bloomberg's pretty much the laugh riot as indicated by one of today's headlines:

"Gold Falls Most in 7 Weeks on Stocks, Margins"

"Gold falls after CME margin hike" ranks as a popular meme to pitch the notion that the CME can control the price of gold.

An apparent bias that favors the proletariat over the plutocracy offers one plausible reason for the Anglo-American PE to crush Germany in two separate world wars.

"Globalization and Unemployment - The Downside of Integrating Markets - Michael Spence

... Germany, for one, has managed to retain its advanced manufacturing activities in industrial machinery by removing rigidities in the labor market and making a conscious effort to privilege employment over rapid rises in incomes. Wages may have increased only modestly in Germany over the past decade, but income inequality is markedly flatter there than in the United States, where it is higher than in most other industrial countries and rising steadily. ...

The inevitable "Global problem needs a global solution" comes floating by. No one bats an eye. Making the case that the solution is smaller more responsive government will never gain traction in time to stop this train. Unfortunatly, insurection is the only way to reset the system and the outcome from that would most likely be devistating and totalitarian.
Oh well, back to the garden.

Can someone tell me why the American Federal Reserve Bank offers interest on the deposits from its member banks? The American government has flooded the market with $2.7 trillion in fiat dollars and velocity of money has tanked as has the money multiplier. US bankers have stashed $1.7 trillion of this "stimulus" money with the Fed for the interest payments rather than circulate through the economies lending channels. Member banks borrow from the Fed at zero interest rates and park the loan back at the Fed for a 2 risk-free loan. That's one incentive. But there was a time when the Fed did not offer interest on its loans to its member banks. Why doesn't America go back to not offering interest on its loans so that the member banks start circulating the money?

@ Radioflyer: "Don't you realize that it was the world's misplaced faith in the commodities of gold and silver that gave these international bankers control of the money supply in the first place? ...Don't forget, it was the banker's original fraud which was eventually legitimized under the banner of "Fractional Reserve Lending" that started it all. Don't you realize that they still have most of the gold and are making all the rules? They would like nothing more than a new gold standard..."

Yes, to some extent you are correct about a simple gold standard not being the right solution... because the central bankers could corner it & manipulate it. But our Founding Fathers, I think, wisely chose a dual gold/silver standard. The central bankers can't "corner" BOTH gold & silver! But rather than a dual gold/silver standard, perhaps we would be best to just let "The People" decide what they want to use as money & only have the government make sure that "weights & measurement" uniform standards are enforced. I simply don't trust paper money backed by nothing, whose supply is to be controlled by politicians or bankers.

  Posted by Radioflyer on 08/11/11 11:48 AM

DB is accurately calling this move to a BIS driven global currency (the BIScuit?) to replace the US dollar. But I can't quite seem to grasp the logic behind your continued love affair with a gold or silver backed currency.

Don't you realize that it was the world's misplaced faith in the commodities of gold and silver that gave these international bankers control of the money supply in the first place? I encourage you to revisit the history of money again (I recommend Zarlenga's "The Lost Science of Money). Don't forget, it was the banker's original fraud which was eventually legitimized under the banner of "Fractional Reserve Lending" that started it all. Don't you realize that they still have most of the gold and are making all the rules? They would like nothing more than a new gold standard with gold driven to 5K an ounce (I will never be able to afford another gold cap for my old teeth at that rate).

No, I firmly believe the "Brownians" have it right - State issued fiat currency as opposed to the present system of unlimited private bank credit/debt. Sure, like Mr. Greenspan says, there is no limit to the US credit limit (we can always print more), but remember, bank issued credit comes with a corresponding debt that can never be paid.

We need more real scientist/economists of the likes of Alais and Soddy. Money isn't wealth - its just a means of keeping score.

Central bankers serve to cover up countries in debt traps and the politicians behind it. The only way out I see in a return to a form of gold standard, or the big trade surplus countries of the world (OPEC, China and Asia in general) to create a new reserve currency

"The fiat money instruments themselves - dollars, euros, yen, etc. - ARE THE PROBLEM."

Yes, and all the corrupt central banking cartels that print them up out of thin air & manipulate them! For a while, the Central Banking cartels maintain an illusion of paper currency having some value, but as things deteriorate, there is, in fact, a "race to zero" value as declining values in one currency gives an export pricing advantage to one country, which the other countries don't like, so they in turn also implement more policies to also forcibly lower the values of all other currencies so the ratio of currency values relative to each other stays, more or less, the same. Yes, the relative values of the currencies might stay the same, but their purchasing power all approach zero fast: 1 loaf of bread is first $1, then $2, then $5, then $10, then $25, etc. Everyone who has worked hard to save money or is on a fixed income rapidly becomes poor. That wealth is shifted to the bankers & power elite who are the first ones to spend the newly printed dollars before inflation hits everyone else. This is "legalized theft", which most middle class workers don't see and so they don't protest... after all, aren't the Central Bankers looking out for the best interests of the country & taxpayers? NO!! ONLY THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST!!

This system is bound to collapse, but what to replace it with? "The Daily Bell" is warning us of what kind of "order" might emerge out of the "chaos" from a system collapse: more of the same but on a bigger scale with a One World Order & One World Currency? Or something else?

We are most likely living in the days to witness the system's collapse. For those with purchasing power left, buying silver & gold is probably the safest bet to keep up your purchasing power as the system collapses.

But the question remains: What will the majority of voters want to replace the collapsed system with? More of the same on a grander scale, or something else?

I'm hoping for a return to small, limited, Constitutional government, with no central bank, sound money (gold/silver), balanced budget, low taxes & self reliance/free enterprise rather than socialism. That might be too much to hope for with todays's government educated voters.

Maybe there are "no magic monetary tools hidden in the basement of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, or any of the others that can fix the global monetary crises" but the Bank of England totally repudiated its obligations on September 20, 1931. The Pound lost some 30% of its value in a single day & riots & looting soon followed...

Yet last I looked, 80 years later, the Pound is still 'money'. It is nothing if not tenacious.

Devaluing all those coupons simply means we will work longer and harder for the things we need, like food and energy. Not exactly a sign of weakness of the masters.

When we stop chasing after their coupons, then they will get real worried.
