Their Way or the Highway

Ya ever heard that old saying, “Ya catch more flies with honey than with vinegar”?

Ah good, because DC and “the City” sure haven’t!

As many here know, the East has been trying to formulate its banking alternatives for its member states these past several years. This is of monumental importance to Eurasian alliances, because without a network of lending institutions of their own, they’ve often been at the (lack of) mercy of the Western banking powers. For several years now, Eastern alliances such as the BRICS, have made a great deal of progress on this front.

That progress has been met with fear and loathing from DC and London, as previously, they’ve enjoyed the perks from being the world’s predatory lender through institutions like the World Bank and IMF.

During the last week however, while many of us weren’t looking, some very interesting developments have been taking place on the “grand chessboard”!

In times past, especially since the previous “Cold-War”, DC’s full-spectrum control of the geopolitical arena has been almost absolute. Since they and London had owned “all the gold”(on paper, at least), and had the lending institutions(the IMF, World Bank) to pile debt atop it, as well as the largest, deep-state apparatus, and military-industrial industries to depend on, they’ve basically used a very short list of “strategies” to bring other peoples and nations “to heel”.

In fact, previously if any national leader told DC “no!” to things like “opening up trade” or dealing with the IMF, they were usually all told:

DC: “Heeeey, that’s ok! You don’t have to say yes or anything like that!”

Anyone else: “We don’t?”

DC: “Noo sirree, but just know, between us, you’ll have to pick from a litany of other options!”

Anyone Else:” Other options, like what?”

DC: “Oh, swell things! Like”:

Internet Spying and Sabotage!

Obliteration of your Currency!

Or violent overthrow!

DC: “The last one’s our personal favorite! So, which will it be?”

Anyone Else: “Uh, where do we sign?”

Banking Monopoly is Over

That’s all changing, and changing quickly, as the Eastern Alliance has been fast-tracking several financial and lending competitors to DC’s money mafia. Things like the BRICS Bank, which now carries over $100 billion in assets to help shield its members from financial/currency crisis(which they’ll likely have to use soon), have made enormous headway. Now though, you can add to the list of worries for the ruling order, the fledgling Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank(AIIB).

The AIIB is the newest kid on the block, having only been established in October of 2013. Yet remarkably, within the first year, it has basically sewn up most of the far East in its roster already. By the end of 2014, over 2 dozen Asian nations had signed onto its establishment, including:

India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Thailand, etc! We’re talking some big names here!

At first, DC and London responded to the AIIB, as it did the BRICS Bank: with smarmy scorn. As time passed, however, and the powers that be began to see that the bank has gained serious traction, they switched tactics, from ridicule to threats. Obama and Cameron started applying tremendous pressure on their strongest “allies” to remain uninvolved with China’s alternative lending facility to the US’s Asian Development Bank.

Why wouldn’t they? After all, the real power of the US and UK has always been a money power. Without that banking and fiscal dominance and monopoly, and the ability to pyramid new debts upon the backs of humanity, their empire would come crashing down, double quick.

That’s precisely why this newest show-stopping announcement by UK officials must’ve come as complete shocker to the buzzards on the Potomac!
“Britain applies to join China-backed Asia bank, US is furious (http://shanghaiist.com/2015/03/13/britain-applies-join-china-backed-asia-bank-us-furious.php)“

http://thewealthwatchman.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/AIIB-7.jpg

Yeeeep! So much for the “special relationship” between the Rothschild and Rockefeller dynasties! It just goes to show that when it’s all on the line, and it’s down to survival(and any semblance of any relevance whatsoever), they’re all just scorpions in a bottle, waiting to turn on one another.

Just listen to George Osborn explain the rational behind the decision:

“I am delighted to announce today that the UK will be the first major Western country to become a prospective founder member of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, which has already received significant support in the region…

This government has actively promoted closer political and economic engagement with the Asia-Pacific region and forging links between the UK and Asian economies to give our companies the best opportunity to work and invest in the world’s fastest growing markets is a key part of our long term economic plan.”

Sooooo, the UK was the first non-regional country to become a founding member in the AIIB? Comical!

Banksters in London, staring down the barrel of their own irrelevance, have decided to jump in, and save what little influence they still can. They know this process is forging ahead, with or without them, and thusly, they’ve scrambled to jump on board to become a “founder” before the deadline at the end of March 2015.

As you can imagine, this is not a very popular decision on Capitol Hill, with the Obama administration accusing Britain of “constant accommodation to China.” This is certainly a riot coming from the original nation who gave China “most favored nation” status in the first place! As with everything else, the “exceptional nation”, claims to be the only one who can do such things.

That’s not all though! DC says they can’t support the AIIB, because they’re “concerned” that the AIIB wouldn’t have “high standards of governance”, and that it would lack “social or environmental safeguards”!

Classic!

This, of course, is coming from one of the world’s premiere violators of every imaginable human right you could think of! The only reason DC hates the AIIB is that they don’t control it! Period!

If their “special partner”, the UK, joining the AIIB wasn’t enough though, they were in for another shocker! As just yesterday France, Germany and Italy have all jumped in headfirst as well! That’s right, in one day half the G-7 confirmed their intent to “switch sides”, without consulting their DC overlords first!

But wait! Just when you thought DC couldn’t possibly look any more embarrassed and jaded….

Australia decides that it, too, would simply love to be a “founding member” of the AIIB!

With the re-positioning of the geopolitical board happening at literal lightning speed(we’re talking days, not weeks or months), DC has come out swinging:


“U.S. urges allies to think twice before joining China-led bank“



Headlines like that show just how deluded the leadership in DC has grown. With literally 2/3 of Europe’s economy having signed on in a week, things are looking dire for the US hegemon. It has gotten so bad, that DC decided to bring out “the big guns”….

Yes, “tough guy” Secretary of Treasury Jack Lew has now publicly come out, and has cautioned DC lawmakers(read, the world at large), stating:


“I hope before the final commitments are made anyone who lends their name to this organization will make sure that the governance is appropriate!”

Oooooooh, scary, right?

Apparently not! Because now even tiny Luxembourg is jumping ship!

“Luxembourg, are you serious Watchman?”

You betcha! Oh, and don’t forget South Korea and Switzerland! Ya know, just for kicks!

I’ve honestly never seen such a rapid re-positioning of the “chess board” concerning something this serious. I mean, geez, at this rate, your grandmother and local dog-catcher should also be founding members of the AIIB within a fortnight!

Conclusion

For far too long, the banksters in DC abused their privilege of being the world’s lender and superpower. They’ve treated the international community as just an extension of itself, just a 2nd-rate satrap of its imperium. Many nations, including China, who came to the IMF years ago, asking to be part of it(and were told no), are now turning the table, by creating their own mechanisms and institutions. Now the world is begging them to join their banks instead.

In the past 10 years, the BRICS, led by Presidents Putin and Chinese Premieres, have moved to edge out the Western banks in the many areas in which they had leverage. From putting the kibosh on the petro-dollar arrangement, to sucking out as much gold tonnage as possible from the Banking Dragon in the City, to securing their own lines of credit and finance, to establishing their own credit rating agencies, to even building their own alternate, worldwide internet cables…..Russia and China’s “full speed ahead” approach continues to cause serious fits for neo-cons and banksters in the West.


Plutocrats who were counting on Putin being “their man” in Russia, when he was first elected, have been bitten seriously in the tail end. The efforts and preparations being made to replace the loathed system of the Anglo-American banks, are in the advanced stages. The old days of DC & London having all the leverage and all the power(by having all the gold) are gone. London has only now started to realize it, but DC, stuck in the ‘glory days’ of being the world’s unipolar, busybody, still believes it is the only game in town.

It is not!

Remember back in 2014, when the G-7 kicked Russia out of the G-8, and thought themselves mighty clever? Now, just one year later, 4 out of of those 7 countries are tripping over themselves to join this Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank! Brilliant! You sure showed them, G-7!

From the backfire of trying to use the SWIFT system as a political and economic weapon against Russia, to the failure to stop the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and now Australia from joining the China-led AIIB, the “old guard” in DC isn’t having a good year!

There’s a new era coming, a new and better day coming on the other side of all this US Dollar-sponsored terror, and now that even hardcore, G-7 countries are desperate to get on board with the East, and “hedge their bets”, expect this trickle to become a cascade, and then a veritable waterfall, pouring into a river of nations: all running from the nightmare of worldwide, US-Dollar-sponsored terror!

Lastly, I wanna ask our community this:

If this soaring US dollar is a current sign of unbeatable strength, and evidence that the US is truly the strongest and best nation to lead the world in the years ahead….

Why has half the Western world literally abandoned them in the last 72 hours?

I think we all know why…

For decades, DC and London’s favorite, effective tactic was “divide and conquer”, and they used it most ruthlessly.

Ya know what the funny thing is though, about “divide and conquer”, DC?

It works both ways!

Central Bank Autonomy Is Under Attack ... Current events in Cyprus and Turkey hammer home a point that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan made in the memoirs he published in September 2007. Central bank independence, Greenspan said, is "not set in stone." Left unsaid was the fact that it should be. Against an ever-shifting political backdrop, monetary policy can provide a bedrock of economic certainty -- but only if central bankers can discharge their duties without fear of government interference. – Bloomberg
Dominant Social Theme: It's a kind of sacrilege to let a politician near a central bank.
Free-Market Analysis: Several news items on the central banking front. As we can see from the above news excerpt, Cyprus is making threatening noises regarding its monetary nexus.
President Nicos Anastasiades is, in fact, in the process of removing Governor Chrystalla Georghadji. Her husband is entangled in a lawsuit with Laiki Bank and Georghadji failed to disclose it. This makes her vulnerable to removal – and Anastasiades wants to do just that.
Meanwhile, US Fed head Janet Yellen rendered the bank's latest momentous decision on interest rates on Wednesday after a Federal Open Market Committee meeting, and the verdict was remarkably ... mixed.
Or as the Drudge Report put it in a lead headline ... "Confusion."
Yellen and the others chose to remove the word "patience" from a rhetorical summation of the state of the economy. By removing the word, Yellen was indicating that an interest rate hike was closer than ever.
Yet, Yellen's language regarding the economy itself was remarkably subdued. She said growth had slowed and the employment picture was dimming a bit.
On the one hand, the Fed (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/1855/) is not prepared to be "patient" regarding rate hikes. On the other, the Fed is not going to raise rates in the near future because economic growth didn't warrant it. Yellen giveth and taketh away ...
Here's Bloomberg's take:
While the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee dropped a commitment to be "patient" when raising rates, a key shift was policy makers' lowering of their median estimate for benchmark borrowing costs during the next two years, according to Brian Smedley, an interest-rate strategist at Bank of America Corp. in New York. The fresh set of estimates reduced the median for the federal funds rate at the end of 2015 to 0.625 percent, compared with a December forecast of 1.125 percent.
"The Fed wants to communicate that a normalization process will be slow and the Fed wants to continue to provide support to the recovery," Smedley said.
Why didn't Yellen just leave the word "patient" alone? Probably because Fed watchers and commentators were expecting her to make some rhetorical progress regarding the US's continued economic "recovery."
Yellen has been consistently touting that recovery, yet the Fed's timid stance regarding even the tiniest rate increase has belied the Fed's soothing rhetoric. Removing "patient" keeps the critics at bay at least for another month.
Which brings us back to the Cyprus article – and the Bloomberg editorial (see initial excerpt) that is strongly making the point that central banks (http://www.thedailybell.com/definitions/params/id/2958/) need autonomy.
Of course, this argument doesn't take into account the central banks of the two most populous countries in the world – India and China. In both cases, the central bank is a political entity and cannot be said to be independent at all.
And it doesn't take into account Yellen's dithering, either. The Fed verdict shows she is remarkably attuned to both media commentary and Wall Street mutterings regarding her tenure.
One could say, in fact, that the Fed was an entirely political animal, no matter its "independence." Fedbank politics are simply different than Fedgov politics. But politics they are and will remain ...
Which makes this recent Bloomberg editorial regarding Cyprus even more questionable. The rap on Cyprus – recently bankrupt if you recall – is that it won't leave its central bankers alone.
Bloomberg, in fact, is using Cyprus's fate as a warning to US politicians to let the Fed be. This is because there are several bills pending that would either subject the Fed to a potentially damaging audit or remove certain authorities from the Fed altogether.
But back to Cyprus:
This wouldn't mark the first time the government has gotten rid of an interest-rate chief it didn't like. One year ago, it engineered the resignation of Panicos Demetriades who was also accused of mishandling his involvement in Laiki Bank's collapse. Demetriades had been appointed by the previous administration; once in office, Anastatasiades made no secret of his desire to oust the central banker. Now he wants to dispense with the services of Georghadji, a former attorney general who's being investigated by her successor.
The idea here is that Anastasiades is using intimidating tactics to create de facto control of the Cyprus central bank. And not only does the article disapprove of these tactics, it cites Turkey as an example of what can happen when politicians try to "steal" central bank autonomy.
The article points out that the Turkish government has been "leaning" on the central bank to cut rates. In turn, we learn, investors have punished Turkey by driving down the price of the national currency.
Cyprus needs to take care or investors will begin to flee the island, taking their cash with them. Such is the fate of regions that do not respect central bank "autonomy."
Yet how seriously can we take such arguments when the US central bank – notoriously independent – has seen the markets focus manically on a single word – "patient."
This is the end-result of independent monetary policy: An academic sounding woman droning on at length about the "news" that the Fed has decided to be less patient about interest rates while at the same time doing nothing to raise them.
Central banks are surely questionable appendages of monetary science. They posit that a tiny group of people can use backwards-looking data to reach forward-looking decisions about the price and volume of money.
Not only that, but such pronouncements have the force of law, which qualifies them as price-fixing. Price-fixing inevitably distorts economies and creates bad results. In the 20th century, central banks have created enough ruin to generate a 21st century world bereft of jobs and solvency for vast swaths of helpless people.
The system doesn't work. More and more people know that. It's not a system that can be fixed, reconfigured or revamped. None of it will make a difference. Perhaps future historians will be able to explain how it managed to take over the world. .
In the meantime, we can say one thing regarding central bank efficacy and dysfunction ...
Conclusion: Autonomy has nothing to do with it.
