Recently The WinePress noted how the Federal Reserve – a banking institution that is neither a reserve nor federal (as it is a collection of private bankers that print money and make investments, and loan money) – raised the federal interest rates an infinitesimal amount again.
Along with the media cheerleading for them, both they and the Federal Reserve habitually continue to gaslight Americans, by claiming they feel the pain of Americans; how they acknowledge inflation is getting out of control, and are committed to wrangling in inflation.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Moreover, recently citing the observations and wisdom from longtime stock market investor and analyst, Gregory Mannarino succinctly explained that the real economy – the one you and I live in – is already dead and is just on life support, though the corpse cannot be resuscitated; while the stock market will only go up higher and higher. This is what occurred as well under the Trump administration, where interests rates remained suppressed, and corporations recouped tons of their wealth and stocks, per Trump’s 2017 tax cut; resulting in the stock market ripping higher, and Trump pointing at that as the centerpiece to prove that America was booming and flourishing under him, when in reality the real economy, the real day-to-day world that we are in, not numbers on a screen, were plummeting day by day.
Whilst we continue to hear how the Fed is committed to fighting inflation, the data and their own metrics that are free and easily accessible to the public, disclose a different reality.
Mannarino, in a piece published by the Trends Journal, dives deeper into what the Feds are really up to, and how their actions are only guaranteeing that the cost of everything will continue to rise higher.
The Federal Reserve Is Hyper-Ballooning The Money Supply, Guaranteeing More Inflation
Have a look at the chart below.
This chart was taken directly from the Federal Reserve’s Own Website.
In looking at the chart above, focus your attention on the shaded area and the dramatic increase in money issuance which continues to go on unabated.
What this chart above demonstrates is mass debt issuance, the dollar being a unit of debt. Not only is the Federal Reserve issuing debt at a staggering pace, but the Federal Reserve is also continuing to buy assets with this newly created money.
This mechanism of the Federal Reserve issuing debt, and then using that debt to buy assets, is tremendously inflationary—something I have covered in my YouTube blog for YEARS.
This vicious cycle of debt issuance and asset purchases by the Federal Reserve WILL CONTINUE.
The Federal Funds Rate, FFR.
The federal funds rate refers to the interest rate that banks charge other institutions for lending excess cash to them from their reserve balances on an overnight basis.
The Federal Reserve has kept the FFR at near zero for over a decade, and only recently has begun to incrementally raise this rate.
The LIE being sold across the spectrum of mainstream propaganda ministry outlets is that by the Federal Reserve raising the FFR, this will somehow combat inflation—this is a complete falsehood.
In fact, without the Federal Reserve raising its benchmark rate ABOVE the current rate of inflation—by their numbers 8.5 percent—they are guaranteeing more and higher inflation.
This issue is compounded with THE FACT that, as demonstrated by the money supply chart above, the Fed continues to inflate the money supply.
The current Federal Reserve DELIBERATELY CREATED INFLATIONARY ENVIRONMENT will continue.
Moreover, it is being set up to create yet another crisis—a cost of living crisis.
What we have today is a “crisis driven economy,” and this is also by no accident. A crisis driven economy DEMANDS that even more debt be created—it’s a vicious cycle.
Every engineered crisis demands more funding, which is simply a mechanism to pull cash out of the future to fund the now.
What we can expect moving forward is yet more crises, one after the other, and each in turn or simultaneously will allow the Fed to BALLOON the money supply even more.
Why does the Fed want to balloon the money supply?
Because debt is the one and only product of any central bank, and the more debt they create, the stronger they become.
As Mannarino has demonstrated, this will guarantee inflation goes higher. And yet, this metric – free and accessible to all Americans and those abroad – is never once discussed and shown in the masses’ field of view.
And to only add onto Mannarino’s points, there is another metric to look at directly is the money velocity, or the velocity of money. In short, this metric measures the rate at which cash moves, flows, transacts, throughout an economy: how many times and how often does the dollar exchanges hands.
The WinePress pointed towards this very important and very ignored factor in a report last year, simply telling it the way it is: “The Economy Is Broken Beyond Repair.” This data point is critical, and it is very quick measure to see how the [real] overall economy is performing. As explained and detailed in that report – which I do encourage you to read it if you have not, or reread it again for a refresher – the money velocity is at historic lows, and continues to plummet. This trend really picked up during the Obama’ eight year slump, and continued even further under four years of Trump’s mirage and duplicity of prosperity; passing the torch to senile Biden and company.
All of this, combined with a money supply and Federal Reserve balance sheet that continues to soar to heights each day: the economy is fundamentally, structurally, financially; irreparable and broken. All the Fed is doing is creating a revolving door, a spin-cycle, that involves the Fed issues debt out of one hand, and buying back everyone else’s with the hand.
The Federal Reserve also talked about lowering its balance sheet and tapering more of their purchasing of bonds and mortgage backed securities. This could happen, sure, but the Feds said this last year, and yet tapered nothing.
They told everyone that they would taper assets purchases in November of last year. Again, here’s their own metrics and numbers that document their spending that they allow us to see:
Does that look like a taper to you? Exactly.
The bottom-line is quite simple: ignore the media and media pressitutes, paid to put out to their corporate pimp masters. They are lying always, and will not stop. Inflation will persist, the markets will continue to stay propped up, while the real economy dies violently. Ignore the calls for a boom, reformation, restoration, peace, prosperity, recovery, growth, improvement, stabilization; and on and on.
[16] Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. [17] They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you.Jeremiah 23:16-17
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

The masses simply do not care at this point. To lazy to read. Too lazy to look up the definitions of economic terms. Ironic, since large amounts of information are available online. No need to saddle a horse, pack victuals, ride miles to an ancient library, light a candle and pick up heavy tomes. But I guess typing with your fingers might make you break a sweat and kill you these days.
*Too lazy (to proofread) hah!
Agreed. It’s funny because the Bible said knowledge would increase, but the people have gotten even MORE illiterate!
No doubt. (…ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth).
Welcome back Jacob. Glad you had concluded your personal family affairs without any troubles.
‘Preciate it. It was certainly drama-filled. I have no relatability to my family so I spent about 90% of the visit just sitting around doing nothing. I was just glad to help give my grandmother closure.
And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Daniel 8:25
“By peace [the Antichrist] shall destroy many”
And
By peace “the Fed and the little world puppets” shall destroy many.
They’re very very alike.
