The United States Federal Reserve was formed in 1913 and its first Board of Governors was appointed in 1914. This at a time when Great Britain and its Bank of England were still the holders of the World Reserve Currency.
There had been an ongoing saga in the US in 1913, many couldn’t see the justification for allowing a private third party to create and control the country’s currency. The shenanigans that were part of the formation of the Federal Reserve are fascinating but there isn’t enough room here to discuss this.
One interesting point that is rarely mentioned is that of the original seven of the bank’s board of governors, not all were bankers, others came from the worlds of business and law. The reasoning was to limit the control of the bankers and to ensure fair representation for all.
While the members of bank’s original board seem to represent a logical juxtaposition, was it really so or was it the formation of an exclusive club?
I thought perhaps we could look at a case study, that ardent member of the World Economic Forum: Bill Gates.
Here is a quote that I remember from Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, he said this of Bill Gates and his company Microsoft:
“I don’t begrudge Microsoft their success but what I do begrudge is that they achieved it with such third rate products.” – Steve Jobs.
The battles between Apple and Microsoft over the rights to the Graphical User Interface are now legendary. I don’t think that Apple invented the GUI but they certainly spent a huge amount of time and money developing it, only to have their work taken over by Microsoft.
Information Technology is sort of my thing and I certainly agree that the Windows operating system is third rate, very resource hungry and bloated and in desperate need of a ground up rebuild. Microsoft formed a strategic partnership with Intel on who’s chips their system was originally designed to run, a partnership which locks their users into a never ending and expensive update cycle.
Why then do you think that a company like Microsoft can achieve such a market hegemony, often against far better products from other companies? Such hegemony requires a vast, expensive and ruthless marketing campaign, in short, massive amounts of money, money that Microsoft’s competitors just would not have access to.
Bill Gates is considered a nerd that dropped out of college to form what would become the world’s biggest software company. I would suggest that without the right banking contacts, Microsoft would long ago have joined the long line of failed IT start ups and now be forgotten.
At business schools worldwide, they talk about the Great Men, whether they be politicians or businessmen. We should ask if these Great Men were brilliant and deserved their position or whether they were placed there as front men? Puppets in other words.
The World Economic Forum is a place that our politicians love to go to rub shoulders with wealthy businessmen and bankers. Boris Johnson seems to be trying to distance himself from the WEF at the moment as it’s becoming increasingly unpopular with the hoi palloi; he has been very involved in the past though.
The World Economic Forum Young Leaders Program is claimed by the forum to be shaping the future; all couched in noble, altruistic, philanthropic and humanitarian terms. Graduates include: Jacinda Ardern prime minister of New Zealand, Justin Trudeau prime minister of Canada and another technologist that seems to be following in the footsteps of Bill Gates: Mark Zuckerberg. How wealthy do many of these politicians mysteriously become when they leave office.
So, we see politicians, businessmen and bankers alike, all swarming around the World Economic Forum like bees around a honeypot. The WEF it seems is an interface between the banks, the political and business world. Just think what a massive amount of money it would take to rig an election in a country the size of the United States for instance.
What this means for we the people is that if we allow organisations like the World Economic Forum, and that ultimately means bankers, to choose our business leaders but in particular our political leaders, we do not have a democracy at all. We the people in a democracy get to choose at least our political leaders and they are meant to represent us, not the bankers.
What we have instead of democracy is Tyranny disguised as philanthropy, tyranny disguised as humanitarianism, tyranny disguised as charity, tyranny disguised as public safety and I’m sure you can all think of many more examples.
Here’s something to consider, the same information can be found from many sources but here is one: “Karl Marx – The Godfather of Central Banking?”
The idea of central banking probably did start with the Marxists during the 19th century and may well account for the wide spread of Marxist doctrines today. It seems that the central banking system is a Marxist organisation.
One thing is for sure, if we don’t find a way to establish true democracy in our countries, at least in the west, our lives, our way of life will continue on a downward trajectory.
The system that we have in place now is probably the most efficient wealth transfer mechanism ever devised. It is tyranny. We will continue to be treated like cattle; when we cease to be productive or useful, we will be slaughtered. It is useless to expect that our politicians or political leaders will come to our rescue; they do not represent we the people as they would be required to do in a true democracy, they represent ultimately the banking system.
The only real loyalty that our career politicians have is to their offshore bank accounts. And if you doubt this, see this article, starring our very own Tony Blair: “Explainer: What are the Pandora Papers? Leaked files from 14 offshore service providers tie more than 330 public officials, including 35 world leaders, to offshore fortunes.”
Spot on Flyer, Kim and Fred Bloggs. We’ve all identified the problem. Now, what’s the solution? Perhaps a public Trial by Jury. I mean under Common Law, not a skewed imitation with a pre-screened jury. THAT might be a good start.
Apparently this is being considered:-

A further level is to make it “programmable” ie they can dictate what you spend it on.
The idea is already being trialed in China.
Thanks for the link. Personally I think a digital currency is toxic not so much for it’s concept after all we already use debit and credit cards but because it is too vulnerable to manipulation and further loss of privacy and freedoms. Discrimination is becoming the big issue. All well thought out already no doubt.
Great article flyer; hopefully you might get it published where it might reach the unseeing masses.
Sort of related: would be interested on your views on them too Flyer :

I would not trust the US if my life depended on it with Dopey Joe now president it’s time to part company completely if the UK wants true independence from not just the EU but the US also

flyer. One thing I can 100% agree with – Microsoft Windows was rubbish from the start. That’s what I decided when I first came across it.
Also, it constantly requires expensive updating by it’s users – yes, I found that to be true also.
I’m not knowledgeable enough to comment on the rest of what you say except that it certainly looks as though you are right.
Still is rubbish Pauline, but not much more than my iPad/phone which now just won’t open many of the links posted on here, or keeps refreshing them until you give up.
However yesterday was “Thr END”
There was a link to Breitbart exposing the story of the real Bill Gates under the Corbettreport.com/meet-bill-gates/.
Which as Fred Bloggs said was “well worth watching”, by golly it was
(Looking at the response no one on ID yesterday agreed with him, not one comment was made)
I say not one comment was made, mine wasn’t there, I had typed it in the reply column, filled in my name rank and number, clicked the button to send, it disappeared and a notice was displayed there had been a fault and I would be restarted as soon as possible.
I knew my effort was lost forever, it took them all day and till 11pm last night when they told me they had finally “up dated me”
Mary says “call me cynical”
Could it possibly be that I was being monitored by Microsoft and criticism of their founder must not be allowed to appear in print hosted by their own system.
If so Microsoft is still Rubbish, even more so DANGEROUS rubbish
And oh I would like to see some of youse on here going back, reading Mr Corbett and commenting, unfortunately we don’t run a system of likes or upticks on here
In my opinion it is a very powerful exposure of Gate’s evil, based on genetics in tandem with the Rockafellows (?) and requires a wide distribution
Only saying!
While we all agree all or some of this. We will soon come to the big problem. That we are not interested in the long term. No attempt has been made to prepare .
Strangely enough I think Boris has been aware of the different howls from diferent strata of the country, and how he maybe could counter and improve.at the same time. He will get opposition from the turged twit sector. But Heigh Ho.
What he has to do is cement in his brain is that he has a population to save and protect in the long term as well as immediate, from top to bottom, and immediate,.and tiny and micro bits.. I am sorry , biut that has to happen ! I actually heard on the news some person of self importance saying we must not experiment or innovate we must go back to precovid normal
We are only now in some circles realising that all the distancing, masking an vaccinating was all just frightened politicians goaded on by the caring medical profession, and too many too clever twits.
So what is going to happen. Well obviously as i have pointed out many times we wll now have serious inflation. It cannot now be stopped . So put in place a CURE not issueing sticking plasters,
Next :- Our economy is a joke because it is measured by GDP.. It should instantly NOW be replaced as a partial cure by GDP/CIt is a joke because it’s a last ditch Economy of Cafes, hotels Tourism and so fourth. And others which require nil investment.or as in the case of cafes last ditch any money at all last ditch.. So experimentation is need . So , maybe Investment is needed, in possible tax regimes?.So who has all the money ? The elite ? ( Do not close your minds ). Why should or would or can they ?
You ( Politics ), are faced with a shrinking Value of Tax Take What are you going to do.
And above all. Ignore the Stupidity of ” My canstituent Jimmy smith has this or that. ? Of course he has , I’m sorry for him Etc. But thegood of the whole MUST come top.
I Hadbetter stop , but you know what I mean I hope. Maybe that was Cummings?
Covid could however be a warning shot. Start now. A la Gates maybe.
A carpenters son can produce wardrobes and chests of drawers . No problem . Samefor a Judges son or a stockbrokers son, and a wealthy mans son. They start half way up the tree and with investment cash. They have recieved a better education, mix with equals. All they need is possibilities and a useable landscape and rewards. Do not stop them.
Similar wth everyone in a balanced state wherethe only way is idiotic buying Houses or crowd funded corner shops or importing cheap tops, or Trusting the internet, or carrying or distributing and selling drugs and promoting them in nightclubs etc.
You have to allow rewards.
There are other strands to consider. Consider them.
You have an open mind. Taking stock of what has worked, hasn’t worked and why. Also those things that haven’t been tried. Possibilities without prejudice. Gold and silver bits for exchange is one such you suggested. They may become more valuable than the metal as tokens of our times.
I want everything, co-operation and individualism, risk and peace.
Great article Flyer. Agree 100 per cent.
James Corbett has made a very informative documentary on Gates which can be found here
https://www.corbettreport.com/meet-bill-gates/.
Well worth watching if you haven’t already done so.
This in my mind is exactly why a different approach to living is needed. The persuasion of the digital world of communication has seduced us. How many could survive in a world even 200 years ago. The medicine is being shown to be toxic and dare I say it people need to get ‘back to basics’.
Those who think cryptocurrency is good are gambling and although they may well be having a good run on their luck it will be someone else who has a finger on the switches.
Social media appears to be doing very well for fascism.
Democracy? What democracy?
Possibly Corporatism and Ideology have been routes in the maze of development that had to be tried and have turned out to be a dead ends at the cost of many lives and human energy. But it must be time to go back to a main avenue even if that means putting back the clock. Then humans can continue to pursue their purpose retaining their integrity privacy independence and spirit.
Consider dumping your tracking device and growing your own veg.
Kim. I think 1945 might be a better world to go back to. Though wherever we chose we would have to know then what we know now! So that we do things differently.
‘Twas ever thus!
I’ve no tracking device.
Unfortunately, even if I had the youthful energy to grow my own veg, I do not have the land!
But you are right in what you say. We have been seduced into following the wrong paths and need to change course.
I do , grow my own spuds and beans and some carrots and had a lovely crop, but I`ve used them all now.
What`s a tracking device?
were you saying “dump the chip”?
You have given me a thought about localism. I would buy a few fly pressesand produce Sovereigncsized gold trinkets and Trinkets punched out of sheet silver at say £5 or £1S. . Use them in your local area in paralell with The Fiat currency. some bigger ones could be hallmarked. It’d be an interesting exercise in developing localism and insulating from the City , banks and taxation etc.Just a passing thought.. A cow could be 4 or 5 gold things or quit a lot of bigger silver ones. Since governments cannot be trusted with currency and anyway they only tax it ..!!
I expect it wouldn’t work. Governments cannot be so careless. But I wouldnt
A clever chap I once met in late 70 s wanted me to invest in his business which was selling amplifiers, spotlights, micropkhones and thousands of Pop DVDs without the Voices. And including patents, copyeites and paperwork. And I turned him down. I said to him ” It’ll never catch on in english pubs”.. Karioki
