Don't be shocked! After all, it is the Federal Reserve. The Bank that runs the world.
Deceive the people and hold all the money!
Bend over, the insertion will be painful.

Paul Craig Roberts and Dave Kranzler
May 13, 2014

From November 2013 through January 2014 Belgium with a GDP of $480 billion purchased $141.2 billion of US Treasury bonds. Somehow Belgium came up with enough money to allocate during a 3-month period 29 percent of its annual GDP to the purchase of US Treasury bonds.

There is only one source. The money came from the US Federal Reserve, and the purchase was laundered through Belgium in order to hide the fact that actual Federal Reserve bond purchases during November 2013 through January 2014 were $112 billion per month.
Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate.






In other words, during those 3 months there was a major rise in bond purchases by the Fed. The Fed’s actually purchased $27 billion per month, for those three months. Way above the original $85 billion monthly purchase and $47 billion above the official $65 billion monthly purchase at that time. In March 2014, official QE was tapered to $55 billion per month and to $45 billion for May.



The Fed Is The Great Deceiver






END THE FED!
They are the root of all evils in the United States of America and the world.

We already know that we have no idea what the Fed is actually doing. The statements about tapering are nothing but trial balloons.

When they are said the markets back off telling the Fed "oh no you don't". The Fed has created a monster that they have absolutely no idea how to control now.

They did the same with the European banks a few years ago.

Why do you think the Fed refuses a full audit ?
Why do you think the Fed has closed books that no one can look at ?

For every "public" program that hits the MSM there are multiple back door programs to take their place.

Remember when liberal Democrats would question what our Government and central banks were doing?

Why now is that party like a facist institution who enables the oppressive Fed Res? Why will zero Democrats back Ron Paul's resolution to Audit this corrupt and evil institution?

You read your history and wonder how people were so gullible to their various leaders.
History points out that government is the cause of every bad event that happened going back to the Roman Empire. And who suffered because of it ? The "people". Those in power and those with money always escape the ruins of what government put in motion.

"Let them eat cake". I'm not arguing for a beheading but there are alternatives to just bending over.

There have always been alternatives but people will always go for the promises of "Utopia".

We will be no different.

Either the authors are frauds or they think (correctly) their readers are idiots.
Belgium didn't buy those treasuries. Belgium-based broker Euroclear likely has those treasuries. It's pretty high likelyhood that at least some of that increase is the Russians moving their holdings (not just treasuries but other holdings as well that they converted to treasuries) to a 3rd country (Belgium) as a way of protecting themselves against U.S. possible sanctions over the Ukraine crises. Brussels-based Euroclear is huge holder of such bonds and other investments for clients all over the world. If the authors don't know that, they are woefully ignorant and have no business posing as folks who are "knowledgeable" - and if they DID know that then they should have DISCLOSED that possiblity (actually, PROBABLITY). The fact that they didn't do that (and in fact, simply said that there is NO other possiblity except that the US did it) indicates that they are (as I said) either really really ignorant, or they are deliberately trying to mislead and manipulate their readers. They present ZERO evidence that the US was involved and COMPLETELY the possibility that it had NOTHING to do with the FED and was simply someone else moving their assets to Belgium (for whatever reason).

And, the fact that so many wingnuts immediately jumped on the "yeah, it's the Fed doing it" bandwagon - without even apparently realizing there's an alternate possiblity (actually, PROBABILITY) simply shows just how uneducated the wingnuts on this board are.

what TIC did was release an entire set of January numbers shortly after it had released the "old" numbers, which differed by a small amount but differed across the board - in other words, not a small typo here and there: a wholesale data fudging exercise gone horribly wrong.

"Belgium" is how it is listed.
This is how it is listed. So this is how it is being referenced.
