This thread is dedicated to the discussion of central banking, fiat currency, the Federal Reserve, the families and actors involved, and economic factors including inflation, and the history and implications of the same.
I have been made aware (largely due to this website and others like it) that there exists a small rootless international clique that has gained control of very nearly every national bank on this earth. This is evident for reasons that I will not touch on here, although posters are welcomed to expand on that below. It is also worrisome! After all, how can we expect such a group to represent the best interests of the people when they are not held accountable, and operate at a level above that of even our own governments?
I have attached an image that I would like to use as the starting point of this discussion. Here we can see the consumer price index (CPI) of the United States and how it has changed over time. From what I can gather, the consumer price index is meant to measure inflation, and is derived from a total of the prices of common goods and services, or a "basket". So we can clearly see that from 1775 to 1913, the CPI generally remained the same, with peaks during wartime. But from 1913 to present day, the inflation has gone through the roof. This is obviously not a good thing, because with inflation comes devaluation of currency, and inflation can be used as a kind of hidden tax. You might notice that around 1970 the inflation really picked up, I have been told that it is because of economic changes made during the Nixon administration.
As you can see, and may well already know, the Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States and it was created in 1913, under the administration of Woodrow Wilson, with the Federal Reserve Act. I have heard that the very same families already had control over the central banks of France and England and their power was somehow spread to the United States. My knowledge in this area is limited to say the least, if an user could shed some light on that, it would be greatly appreciated.
If anyone has information or resources relating to these subjects they are encouraged to dump them here. Thank you in advance for your replies.
