Brian Balfour | The Creature from Jekyll Island: The Federal Reserve | Fall Classical Summit

[@ericwillison4011]

This is an extremely informative video regarding how the Federal reserve controls interest rates through its indirect yet very intentional actions. The fact that only 114 people have seen it over the last 3 months is unfortunate.

[@toddherrera5977]

I still don't get it, do I need to care from someone who lives in 3rd world countries about what the FED are doing? Or is the problem scoped only in America?

Thank you for pulling back the curtain (rememner the scene in the "Wizard of Oz"), regarding not only the origin and reason for the FED's creation, but how it impacts the economy via the mechanisims at it's disposal. Should be taught in every high school (remember civic's classes) so citizens are informed and no longer swayed by politicians (demagogue included)), and the media.

Treason against the Country, the Constitution, the citizens and the law.

Just wanna say before the add is over, my brother gifted your book set to my skn for his birthday. This video randomly popped up on my feed. But this particular book got a great reaction from him. Hes 7 now, but the genuine curiosity and engagement was pleasantly suprising. Took me 30 years to learn about this theft, you guys are doing a great service!

Balfour has half wrong

[@epnavarrol]

More than 3K views and only 8 comments. This must have at least 200 million views and the same quantity of comments. This is US distopia.

Yeah but KZbin is run by democratic fascists and they cheat at every turn.

[@DavidJones-hr9bn]

Likely due to the piss poor presentation compared to a G. Edward Griffin! This guy's not much of a public speaker.

[@AndSaveAsManyAsYouCan]

​@@DavidJones-hr9bnYes, G Edward Griffin does this subject way better.

[@jdp0359]

​@@DavidJones-hr9bn I think it's also due to people having absolutely no clue what Economics is all about.

Not only is it being clueless in economics, it’s by design too unsexy for 200 million people’s attention span.

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="645">10:45</a>/// "people started withdrawing their money and so money was kind of frozen...it couldn't move around". So the banks actually didn't have the money in reserve? is that what you're saying? why couldn't it move around? answer: because it wasn't there. Thats all we need to know.

Richard Werner a very well known economist would disagree with banks fraction reserve requirements.

[@ritajacobs6888]

The most important information about the monetary system is completely left out of this presentation. The banks create all the money in circulation and charge interest on it. The money is created out of thin air whenever loans are made. They determine where to lend it - what big corporation to fund, etc. The are charging interest on money that they create out of thin air. They set public policy by deciding where to lend it. When the principal on the loans is repaid to the banks the money is extinguished and no longer in circulation. The problem is there is never any extra money created to pay interest on all the money in circulation. The US should not even have a federal debt. There are many videos on KZbin that explain how money is created and how banks have gained enormous power from their wealth. The Constitution in Article I Section 8 gives Congress the power to create money. The Federal Reserve Act delegated that power of money creation to private banks. You need to learn about that.

[@waterfoker8558]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="960">16:00</a> sure the bankers had their own interest, aka profits, at heart, but they needed to convince government to allow them to 'gamble harder'. It's true that gold is inelastic and having a decentralized banking system makes it hard to deal with real time economics which contributes to long painful deflations/depressions. The government wants order and stability. It's inevitable that some form of central bankng will happen. But there are known risks from central banks, greed get's multiplied, bigger bubbles, too big to fail. All symptoms we see today. There's pros and cons of any system. What's important to learn from all this is w.e. system we currently living with, protect yourself from it's flaws. Save money in assets that don't blow up when the economy or the system blows up. Real estate in valuable areas, gold, maybe a lil bit of Bitcoin, stuff that's least correlated with the system.

[@mikem4883]

Excellent interview and questions. I have one question. I understand that if a 12 foot 2x4 cost 15.00 and then goes up to 18.00 thru inflation, even if I get a 2.00 raise, I have still lost money ( 1.00) if I purchase another 2x4. With that said. How am I being robbed thru that inflation , meaning how does the federal reserve become the robber? How do they get that dollar I lost? Thank you. Mike

[@DavidJones-hr9bn]

Counterintuitive that the result of the Federal Reserve injecting (printing) more money into the economy by buying back bonds from the local banks lowers interests rates! While I understand the concept of supply and demand, I also understand the concept of currency devaluation when it is simply printed from thin air which should be the prevailing determinate.
