Do You See The Recession Pattern?
Today a friend asked me:
“Who do you follow for economic info that is TRUSTWORTHY??”
I think the question is very important, therefor I decided to reply with this post, so as to assist many more who may have similar questions and interests.
Who do I Trust for economic information?
Short answer: I trust no one for economic info.
- I search for source documents.
- I never trust the corporate news, until I can verify it.
- I search for documents and facts before reaching conclusions based on my efforts to collect and consider the evidence.
Before you choose to follow anyone, make sure you distrust the mainstream News media – because the corporate news is there to entertain, distract, influence and deceive citizens
– This is the Age Of Deception. –
See the two Federal Reserve’s official LIBOR graphs below.
What I want everyone to notice is the effect of rates peaking before a recession.
Look at the above graph covering the years 1999 – present 2018.
I would argue, the Central Bank intentionally hike Interbank Offered Rates to trigger the market crashes (so-called “recessions”).
But also note the bottom graph covering the years from 2009 to the present, where the rates are being hiked again in preparation for the next recession?
Many financial and economic professionals claim a recession is overdue…
Over the decades of reading the documentary evidence, the malevolent entities have become blatantly obvious, yet they cunningly state deceptive policy language (Orwellian ‘Newspeak’) in public to obfuscate the truth.
For example:
The IMF, G20, World Bank Group (WBG), UNITED NATIONS, et al. have set an ambitious strategy to support the globalists’ 2030 development multilateral agenda. They are committed to implementing the necessary operational and cultural changes for the purpose to follow the required strategies and policies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreement.
Remember the G20 Agreement:
They “Vowed All Citizens Be Digitally Connected By 2025“!
I would suggest, for those who do not research the IMS (International Monetary System Hegemony) to at least read the banking reports here on this blog, and other blogs who do research about the IMS’ and share documentary evidence.
I don’t get paid to write weekly or monthly about the IMS and may miss some current events.
Fortunately, there are others who do at least report about the money masters’ activities more frequently than I. Below are several of them; perhaps if you search the internet you can find more.

There is no substitute for your self teaching efforts to seek the truth and unlearn the lies you were taught to believe.
There are archives documenting centuries of exploiting international (slave) trade that was always backed by the power of the economically and militarily strong nations.
With methods ranging from direct military backing to more nuanced forms of coercion and manufactured consent, economic theory is always proven wrong.International trade has always been a subject of State Power policy seeking institutional advantages. But, markets have rarely been (if ever) free in the economic textbook sense.
Crime and coercion is rarely part of a economic model in textbooks. ~Ron

Russia Is Preparing for a “Perfect Storm” in the Global
By Aleksandr Rodgers – Translated by Ollie Richardson and Angelina Siard –
July 30, 2018 “Information Clearing House” – In recent months Russia, as some claim, “strenuously prepared for Putin’s meeting with Trump”. What does this mean?
Firstly, in April the Central Bank of the Russian Federation dumped nearly a half of US Treasuries that it had on its balance, having reduced their stock from $96.2 billion to $48.7 billion.
In May the Central Bank continued to do this, having reduced the quantity of treasuries on its balance even more.
Certain news agencies only emphasized that Russia dropped out of the list of the largest holders of treasuries, having noted that this “is less than $30 billion”. They use students in these news agencies, and as a result such “news” appears.
Having read the full report of US Department of the Treasury, it is easy to see that the size of the Russian investments in treasuries was reduced to $14.9 billion.
I.e., more than sixfold in two months. But there still isn’t any data for June…
Secondly, some observers noticed that against this background the Central Bank of the Russian Federation continued to increase its gold reserves.
Since the Central Bank shows in its report the amount of gold in the dollar equivalent, we will have to convert it at the rate of the corresponding number.
As we see, the amount of gold indeed steadily grows.
Some were stupid enough to be indignant because the Central Bank buys gold while it goes down in price. On the one hand, if it bought it at the top peak of the price, then it would be worse. On the other hand, it is possible to assume that in the near future certain events are expected that can significantly raise the price of gold.
If we work like system analysts, then we need to coordinate at least two more facts with the aforementioned.
Thirdly, the majority of Russian state corporations and a number of banks and companies with State capital switched (or are in the process of switching) to the Russian System for the transfer of financial messages of the Bank of Russia (SPFS), which actually means abandoning SWIFT.
Very recently, in June, “Gazprom Neft” also tested a transition to SPFS.
As was stated in the press release: “The use of a sole system that all Russian credit organisations are connected to instead of many local bank clients allows to considerably increase the speed, reliability, and security of carrying out financial operations and to optimise expenses”.
And fourthly, the head of “VTB” Andrey Kostin met with Putin the other day and presented to him a report on the activity of the bank. During the meeting Kostin, in particular, said two things:
“1. Since the beginning of this year, people seem to be less interested in making dollar deposits or taking out dollar loans, compared to ruble-denominated deposits and loans. We believe this to be an important step towards the de-dollarisation of the Russian finance sector.
2. VTB experts have drafted a package of proposals designed to further promote the ruble in international settlements and thus develop the Russian market for floating Eurobonds, shares and creating other derivatives that are now used only in the West. I think that we need to create our own financial tools. This would serve as an additional safeguard for the Russian financial sector against external shocks, and would give a new impetus to its development”.
As we can see, both State corporations, and State banks are actively preparing for the de-dollarisation of economy (or, if to be more exact, carrying it out with confidence) and possible problems from SWIFT, and also increase the self-sufficiency of all systems (communication, payment, and so on).
I think that if there is the desire, then it is possible to significantly add to the provided list of measures. Russia consistently and surely dumps the dollar (and, quite possibly, prepares for the “perfect storm” in the global economy that was predicted long ago), and today none of Trump’s words or actions can change these aspirations.
Because no Trump is able to stop the impending storm.

WHY and How is Half of The FED’s Board of Governors Vacant?
The Federal Reserve Board of Governors is the governing body that guides the U.S. central bank.
The board consists of seven members who each serve fourteen-year terms. Board members serve staggered terms. The president appoints them, and the U.S. Senate confirms them. If the staggered schedule is followed, then no president or Congressional party majority can control the board. This safeguards the Fed’s independence from politics. It allows the Fed to focus on long-term economic goals. They can’t be pressured to either raise or lower interest rates.
That means a new one is appointed every two years. Elected officials and members of the current administration are prohibited from serving on the Fed board.
So, Did 3 members resign unexpectedly?
Why haven’t they been replaced?
What is ‘Really’ Happening at the Federal Reserve?
[thebalance.com]
The Fed Board is led by a Chair and Vice Chair. They each serve four-year terms. They serve in those positions while they are serving their Board terms.
The Fed Chair is Jerome Powell. He was already a Fed board member, serving from May 25, 2012 to January 31, 2028. He was a visiting scholar at the Bipartisan Policy Center, a partner at the Carlyle Group (1997 – 2005), and a Treasury official under President George H.W. Bush.
Each board member leans in a “dovish” or “hawkish” direction. Dovish members are more concerned about lowering unemployment than reducing inflation. They favor expansionary monetary policy and low interest rates. Board members that are hawkish prefer contractionary policy. They would rather raise rates because they are more worried about inflation. Powell is dovish.
President Trump appointed Powell as the Fed Chair even though he is not in favor of deregulation, one of Trump’s priorities. The Senate approved his nomination on January 23, 2018. Powell replaces Janet Yellen. He would continue Yellen’s successful policies. Yellen didn’t serve out the remainder of her regular board term. The only Fed chair who did was Marriner Eccles (1934 – 1948) who stayed on the board for three years after his chairmanship ended.
Chairman Powell also chairs the FOMC. He meets with the president, the Secretary of the Treasury, and Congress. The Chair is a member of the International Monetary Fund, the Bank for International Settlements, and the G-7 and G-20 as finance minister.
Another Trump appointee is board member Randy Quarles. His board term is October 13, 2017 – January 31, 2032. He is also the Vice Chairman for Supervision until October 13, 2021. That position was created by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act. He supports bank deregulation. He was a managing director at Cynosure Group and the Carlyle Group, and a Treasury official under President George W. Bush. Neither dovish nor hawkish, he favors using strict guidelines that determine when the Fed changes rates.
The third board member is Lael Brainard. Her term is June 16, 2014 – January 31, 2026. She is the only Ph.D. economist on the Board.. She was a senior Treasury official (2010 – 2013), a senior member of the Brookings Institution (2001- 2008), and Deputy National Economic Advisor to President Clinton. She was a professor of economics at the MIT Sloan School of Management (1990 – 1996). She is dovish.
Trump inherited a rare opportunity to stack the Fed board in his favor. The chair position came up for reappointment during his term. Also, three board positions were vacant, including the Vice-Chair position. Two of them have been vacant since the financial crisis.
Trump has nominated Richard Clarida to serve as Vice-Chairman of the board. He was assistant secretary for economic policy at the U.S. Treasury from 2002-2003. He was a professor of economics at Columbia University. Clarida supports a “balanced approach” to the Fed’s dual mandate. That makes him a hybrid hawk and dove.
He nominated Michelle Bowman to fill a vacant board spot. She has the community banking experience Trump was looking for. She was the Kansas bank commissioner. Trump needed someone willing to divest their holdings in all banks. Congress made that a requirement two years ago. It’s unclear whether she is hawkish or dovish.
Trump also nominated Marvin Goodfriend for a vacant board spot. He is a Carnegie Mellon professor and former Fed economist. Clarida, Bowman, and Goodfriend are all waiting for Senate confirmation. Meanwhile, the Fed board is operating with only three members.
That leaves one remaining vacant position with no nominee.
What the Board Does
The board has four primary functions. First, it guides monetary policy. All board members sit on the FOMC. The board has the majority of seats on the FOMC, so it effectively controls all decisions. It does listen to the input from the other members since they are presidents of the member banks. The FOMC meets eight times a year to set the target for the fed funds rate and to implement open market operations. The board alone sets the discount rate and the reserve requirement for member banks. Find out more about the Federal Reserve’s tools.
Second, it analyzes economic developments. It releases the Beige Book monthly. It provides the monetary policy report twice a year (around February 20 and July 20). It reports its findings on the state of the economy to Congress. Specifically, the Chair presents separately to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and the House Committee on Financial Services.
Third, the board issues regulations for the general banking industry, and for Federal Reserve member banks. It enforces those rules for the Federal Reserve member banks only. These include 900 state banks, that are members of the Federal Reserve System, and 5,000 bank holding companies. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency supervises national banks. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation supervises state banks that aren’t Federal Reserve members. This fragmentation allows banks to choose their supervisor by determining what kind of bank they want to be.
That’s one of the complexities that created the financial crisis.
Fourth, it manages the U.S. payments system. The banks it supervises clear checks, process electronic payments and distribute cash.
Meetings
The board meets twice a month. It addresses all regulatory and monetary policy. You may attend any open session. Find out more at the board’s meeting website.
