"Why The Federal Reserve May Be As Bad As Covid-19"
* "Why The Federal Reserve May Be As Bad As Covid-19"* by Chris Martenson, Peak Prosperity "As we've been railing on for too long now, the Federal Reserve is NOT serving the interests and welfare of the general public. Instead it serves the top 1%. Or more accurately, the top 0.1% -- i.e., the people who actually own the vast majority of financial assets, corporations and real estate. Right now, the Fed is pouring gasoline on the "wealth gap"; the tremendous divide in social inequity it has largely been responsible for creating. And yet it's Chairman, Jerome Powell, flat out refuses... more »
