Fed Trying to Cripple Trump Economy-Danielle DiMartino Booth

By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com

Financial expert and former top Federal Reserve insider Danielle DiMartino Booth says the latest Fed rate hike is nothing less than an attempt to make life worse for President Trump. DiMartino Booth explains, “They are trying to do the opposite of what they did a year ago because the people who occupy the White House have changed.  That’s the only feasible answer I can come up with to explain the Fed tightening into a weakening economy.  Their own metrics don’t lie.  Nonfarm payroll growth has slowed appreciably over the last 12 months, and their favorite inflation metric is back below 2%.  These are the rules they have made up, not me.  They (the Fed) are making policies against their own rules, and there has to be a reason for it.”

DiMartino Booth wrote a popular book called “Fed Up” that reveals the Fed’s manipulation of the financial markets and says flat out, “The Federal Reserve is bad for America.” DiMartino Booth says massive manipulation is the only way you can explain rising federal debt and stagnant or falling interest rates on the 10-year Treasury bond.  DiMartino Booth contends, “The only way you can fabricate the surreal balance between growing debt and falling interest rates is to manipulate that. . . . These are central bankers gone wild. . . . In 2008 and 2009, the credit markets were closer to $200 trillion in size.  Today the credit markets are closer to $300 trillion in size, and we still can’t say what and where the next systemic risk lies.”

On gold, DiMartino says, “I think gold is in the very late stage of a correction phase. Once we get a sniff of true market reaction to any of these geopolitical events, I think you could see gold take off like a boomerang or a hockey stick. . . . If there is any slowing in the global economy, then the safe haven will not necessarily be U.S. Treasuries.  The ultimate safe haven is gold.”

DiMartino Booth says it’s unlikely the Fed can fix the economy the next time it gets into trouble. DiMartino Booth says, “If you tack on slowing auto sales . . . we’re talking about a third of manufacturing jobs in this country . . . manufacturing is still big enough at the margin to lead the economy down. . . . When you aggregate the bloodletting in brick and mortar retail, what’s coming up in restaurants, what auto dealerships are looking to do with the land under their dealerships . . . you add all this up together and there is a perfect storm in this country for commercial real estate, that is highly overvalued, and throw in a black swan or two geopolitically and you could have a confluence of factors that the Fed could not fight.”

        Marcus, interesting and scary stuff. The guy being interviewed sure had a hard time holding back the tears. Satan is alive and well .

    • Paul ...

      Man didn’t listen to God … do you think he will listen to the WHO?? … https://www.cancer.org/latest-news/world-health-organization-says-processed-meat-causes-cancer.html

      • Paul ...

        If you need a recent example … look at Bill and Hillary Clinton … do you think both are the picture of health?? … he ate big Mac’s … she ate raw human flesh at her Satanic rituals … it is the heterocyclic amines in red meat that are carcinogenic (cancer causing)!!

        • Chip

          I usually enjoy your posts Paul, but you’ve really lost the plot on this one. There is NOTHING about pigs or such BS in this passage and you are WRONG to infer it. I’ll treat your posts with a lot more skepticism in the future… Chip

          • Chip

            Upon reading your posts two and three times over I really think you’ve lost it Paul. Sorry, have to call a spade a spade, what you wrote is SICK… Chip

            • Paul ...

              Chip … I was simply trying to imply that God “may have been” a vegetarian … take my musings with a grain of salt … but according to the WHO we should not be eating so much red meat … I don’t expect men to stop eating hot dogs and cool cats because we are born sinners … but I gave it a shot!!!

      Greg, you REALLY allowed this to be posted??? 1st Amdt and all but really? Chip

        Which “Paul” post and I will look at it.

          This…
          Satan told Adam and Eve that there was no reason they could not eat of the animal kingdom … all they had to do was put an apple in the mouth of the baby piglet they killed … and it would fool God by making roasted pig look like an apple tree …

            Don’t remember this in my version of the Bible… Chip

            Chip,
            I think Paul was being sarcastic to make a point but I took it down anyway. I agree it’s over the top and I did not catch it. Thank you.
            Greg

  1. Paul ...

    Ms. Booth has it right … the Fed is tightening into a weak economy so as to put 20% of US corporations into bankruptcy … giving the deep state bankers “an excuse” to do to Trump what they did to Lincoln and Kennedy without too many people complaining … Trump must shut the Fed down before they raise rates to 3% … as for gold … technical chart indicators show we are closing in on a bottom from which it will rally … as for bit coin it hit $3000 on Monday but was unable to hold onto those gains and finished the day at $2,599 (well below the key technical threshold of $2,749) … so you cabbage patch doll tulip bulb lovers better start paying close attention … if bit coin closes below $2,475 on a weekly basis even more damage will be done to its technical picture … you know when silver went from $3 dollars to $50 dollars these cabbage patch tulip bulb lovers thought it went too high too fast … but when bit coin goes from $3 dollars to $3,000 dollars they see no big deal in the move … in fact to them it is a buy signal … as they “know” it will soon be selling for more then $1 million dollars!!

    • Paul ...

      Those who got into bit coin early and get out of the Ponzi scheme “before the crash” would do well to consider putting their profits into silver … for if silver makes the same 1000x move as bit coin … silver will be selling for $16,000 dollars per ounce!!!

      • David Benson

        Is this now the Silly Season? “Trump must shut the Fed down before they raise rates to 3%” “Latest Fed rate hike is nothing less than an attempt to make life worse for President Trump.” “It’s unlikely the Fed can fix the economy the next time it gets into trouble.” So let’s review: The Fed is wrong because it is raising interest rates. The Fed won’t be able to lower interest rates if needed in the future because interest rates are not high enough. I have one question: “What would you do?” Don’t just criticize.

    Judicial Watch: Obama NSC Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at Obama Library

    JUNE 19, 2017

    Records Sought by Judicial Watch May Remain Closed to the Public for Five Years

    (Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch today announced that the National Security Council (NSC) on May 23, 2017, informed it by letter that the materials regarding the unmasking by Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice of “the identities of any U.S. citizens associated with the Trump presidential campaign or transition team” have been removed to the Obama Library.

    The NSC will not fulfill an April 4 Judicial Watch request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”

    The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:

    Can Trump Get The Unmasking Records Out of Obama Library?
    Tue 20th, 2017 3:06 am EST Patrick Howley Editor-in-Chief

    Obama stashed the records in his library, according to Judicial Watch’s announcement Monday, which cited a letter from the National Security Council (NSC). Judicial Watch tried to get the records through the Freedom of Information Act, but the watchdog group was denied, with the NSC citing a Presidential Records Act statute that protects presidential records from public disclosure for a period of five years.

    It appears, then, that Rep. Devin Nunes’ House Intelligence Committee subpoenas to the NSA, CIA, and FBI will come up fruitless, with the Deep State agencies deferring to the Obama Library.

    There are a number of things wrong here.

    The NSC stated in its letter that “Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.”

    First of all, Barack Obama’s presidential library does not actually exist. The proposed library in Jackson Park, Chicago, will not be fully constructed until 2021. So where are the records? Physically speaking, where are the records? Are the records at the construction site? What constitutes the Obama Library, as an entity, at this point in time?

    Since the NSC cited the five-year confidentiality window, that means the only thing specifically hiding the records is the Presidential Records Act, which has certain exceptions.

    Are the records closed to the public? Yes. But . …

    Plaintiffs File Motion for Protection in DNC Fraud Lawsuit
    Zach Haller at Real Progressives, Counterpropa, NW Music Scene Jun 15

    On Tuesday, June 13, 2017, lawyers for the plaintiffs in the DNC fraud lawsuit filed a Motion for Order of Protection to the U.S. District Court in Florida following three disturbing incidents that recently occurred in orbit of the lawyers and plaintiffs involved in the ongoing, high-stakes litigation.
    The lawsuit, a class action filed by Jared Beck and Elizabeth Lee Beck last summer, seeks damages for Democratic Party donors and voters duped by the party’s fraudulent 2016 primary. Counsel for the Democrats argued on April 25, 2017 in favor of their Motion to Dismiss, insisting that Federal Judge William J. Zloch throw out the case because the Party has the right to choose its nominee behind closed doors, in smoke-filled rooms, regardless of the results of primary contests.
    In addition to the Party, the lawsuit names disgraced former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz as a Defendant. Following her resignation as DNC chair, Schultz has been the subject of intensifying scrutiny related to this lawsuit and another blasting the DNC’s grotesque compensation practices under her leadership. D.C. Capitol Police are also investigating a massive data breach committed by her former IT staffers, who have since fled the country. Meanwhile, uncertainty lingers as the homicides of DNC data director and potential witness Seth Rich, and Miami Federal Prosecutor Bheranton J. Whisenant Jr. remain unsolved.

    I read Fed Up about 2 weeks ago and I was going to suggest you get Daniel on your show. She’s something else and her book is very readable. I watched a youtube video of her giving a talk at a conference and she is amazing.

  6. Ray

    What a FANTATSTIC interview……perhaps THE best on USAWATCHDOG.
    In 150 years from now, if we make it that far, here is how I see historians writing about America.
    America: A young nation that sprang up firstly as a colony of England. After finding it’s feet as a colony, it reacted to the tyranny She was subjected to by her overbearing and aggressive Founders, such that in the late 1700’s she fought a war and won Her inpedendance.
    Over the following 150 years, she flourished like no other nation in history.
    Alas, upon Her greatest triumph, She made the mistake of Her previous enslaver, only this time, She looked to enslave the entire planet.
    Her attempt lasted less than 100 years, within which time She lied, cheated, slaughtered and lost ALL support of the Nations Of The World, her Her crimes, whilst Her Global Media Empire proclaimed were valid, were THE most ABHORANT before God.
    Her country ended up broken……not from without, but from within…….the cancer She sewed among her fellow Humanity, via ENDLESS unjustified wars and UNFETTERED financial corruption, became the cancer that killed her society, once and for all.
    Vale……a once PROUD NATION……with ABSOLUTE ABUNNDANCE OF PROMISE TO HUMANITY……..that fell…..and fell hard…..as a testament to the folly of lies, cheating and corruption.

      It is a testament to the corruption of Sin. The world teaches man is inherently good; the Bible teaches he is inherently sinful. Nothing institutionalized will last because of this.

  8. k-in-maryland

    I sure would like to know who is buying up all the treasuries that foreign countries are selling… and where the money is coming from to purchase them. I bet Mrs. Demartino-Booth knows.

    Why would anyone buy debt-instruments (bonds) of a bankrupt company (country) that prints money just to keep the lights on?

    Greg – good question on the trading desk at the Fed… I feel like the question was dodged but not intentionally/maliciously.

  9. Chris Gordon

    Re: your ‘Fed Up’ guest. First: I don’t think you need to be a genius to work out that Trump is the enemy of the ‘Deep State’ represented by the FRS and what Jeff Neilson has named ‘The One Bank’! Only – these dark actors have gone and done something nobody could have expected. By raising interest rates, even the miniscule increases they have imposed, has the effect of ‘shooting themselves in the foot’ (or both feet) because the amount of debt with which they have encumbered everyone cannot now be service, indeed even at 0% interest rates, they found it difficult to services the debt which is several times larger than the combined income of all Americans and all American companies (i.e. American Gross Domestic/National Product). It does not take a genius, therefore, to conclude that this was a political act possibly to accelerate the collapse of the American economy and, possibly, also in order to cover up the myriad frauds, misappropriations of funds and out-of-control corruption which was hidden for so long from the American public. Well, a lot of it is no longer hidden which has added to the ‘Deep State’s’ state of anxiety and fear of the American public which, in turn, has prompted them to pass even more draconian, anti-freedom, anti-liberty, anti-everything not approved by the ‘Deep State’ legislation. Unfortunately, it won’t do them any good as too many people now know, now understand how their (the ‘Deep State’s’) control system works. The D-S can no longer hide in the shadows and they cannot abide the cleansing power of the sun!

    I would also take issue with Miss ‘Fed Up’ over gold – the price of gold. It is not – and as far as I am concerned – it has never been in a correction. It is MANIPULATED and it has been MANIPULATED for a very long time. Most people cite Nixon’s ‘closing of the gold window’ as the start of the control of gold (and silver) price(s). However, we all know (I hope) that the price of gold was being manipulated in the 1960s by means of the London Gold Pool until that manipulation blew up in the faces of the perpetrators. I started work at a merchant bank in the City of London in November 1969 and there was considerable discussion in the hallowed halls of that venerable institution about the (then) runaway price of gold compared with the so-called ‘fixed’ price (official price) of $35 an ounce. So, Miss Fed Up, there is not nor has there ever been a ‘correction’ in gold because, right now, gold should be trading AT A MINIMUM of $5000 – and that is a conservative price. Gold’s price should be, realistically – who knows – $15,000, $20,000 and more. I hope people understand this point. You cannot talk in terms of a ‘correction’ in what is, and has always been, an artificial price manufactures in a totally artificial market which relies on $quadrillions to determine what the ‘price’ of gold (and ‘price’ of silver) is at any given moment of time.

    Thanks Greg. Danielle DiMartino Booth is absolutely right when she says that the FED can’t have it both ways. If the FED wants to unwind their balance sheet they havve to just “let it go”. They can’t “prop up prices while selling off their portfolio”. The act of selling will move the market in the opposite direction. I’ve been wondering how that was going to work and someone finally said it. It won’t work. It’s just talk.

    Greg,
    In reply to so and so who thought you had no basis for the belief the Donald presidency has some kind of divine backing in his amazing feat of political defeats, as the mocking bird media deep state puppet stooges run for cover and always seem to wind up in the dumpster. Could it be more than the Trumpster?
    Does God govern all created things by his decree of Providence?
    In providence God preserves and governs his creation so that it will accomplish all He made it to achieve. He is ever revealing himself generally in the things made. Like the Donald?
    Westminster Confession of Faith 5.1 “God the great Creator of all things does uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.”

    Yup God governs all creatures, actions, and things. From the greatest even to the very least creature, action, and thing, God upholds, directs, disposes, and governs them. Many direct references in Scripture support this teaching.

    Psalm 135:6 “Whatever the LORD pleases, He does, In heaven and in earth”

    Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, But the counsel of the Lord, it will stand.”

    Proverbs 21:1 “The king’s [president’s too] heart is like channels of water in the hand of the LORD; He turns it wherever He wishes.”

    Nahum 1:3 “Jehovah doeth His will in the whirlwind and in the storm”

    Ephesians 1:11-12 “also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.”

    Colossians 1:17 “… in Him all things hold together.”

    The Bible is very clear: Nothing in the universe is excluded from his providence.

    Gamaliel’s Advice
    38So in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone. Let them go! For if their purpose or endeavor is of human origin, it will fail. 39But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God.” ◄ Acts 5: 38-39 ►

    In other words if the almighty God decides whether he let’s a bird die and fall to the ground isn’t it at all possible he decides who will be president of the United States? Makes sense to me! How bout you?

    • JC Davis

      J B God don’t care 1 bit about our politics. our soul is all he cares for. How shallow to think the Almighty God would let babies die and yet care about how ,and who we let govern us as a country. On this Greg we disagree. God has not ordained Trump for this time.
      These theory’s of God ordaining our leaders has gone over board.

      • Deanna Johnston Clark

        Interesting…All God cares about is our souls…but you deplore that He lets babies die. How do you know the souls of babies so well? Can you see their future? Can you be certain they haven’t died on their best day?
        If social conditions let babies die or parents do, they are guilty, because they have responsibility for physical life. The body is the soul’s temple.

        But the final say is with the Father who gave them that life…and He
        never makes mistakes. People die when they are ready, not when we are ready. Jesus has the keys of death, personally. He will take into His arms those appointed to die today. Sometimes He negotiates…which is part of the mystery and always fascinating. Many good stories!!
        Jesus told us not to judge as humans judge, but to have faith. Otherwise we would all lose our cotton picking minds just reading the news.

        • JC Davis

          I don’t deplore that He lets babies die. Jesus told us to judge ourselves that we be not judged. Get to know me.

      • Charles H

        JC,

        Babies that die shows that God is not micro-managing issues; letting the Creation work within Nature and random possibilities. The consolation is that they, because of undeveloped or underdeveloped conscience have no distinction of right and wrong (Age of Accountability) – so sin is not imputed: the Old Testament terms of Grace, God having Mercy, apply and Heaven is automatic. It turns out that sometimes babies dying is a mercy. At least, in this context – it is not an abject loss and grief.
        There IS evidence that God DOES put governors and Rulers in place; and takes them out of place. So a certain amount of suggestion toward Trump having divine appointment can be made. Comparing to Hillary – it was a deliverance! But to infer that Trump enjoys divine protection – is something of a stretch. If God put Abraham Lincoln in Office to deliver this country, at that time: He sure didn’t protect him. A difference between appointment and protection can be made.
        “Our soul is all He cares for” – is perhaps the best and most centered statement. His dying on the Cross was for nothing else. Keeping ‘the Main Thing’, the main thing – IS the main thing!
        (Please forgive me for picking apart your comment?!?)

        • JC Davis

          a 16 year old is a baby if its my 16 year old.
          Charles can you keep it short with me. I don’t read very good. Sometimes you loose me. God is practical if nothing. Thanks for your work on this site.

          • Charles H

            JC,

            WHEN a child understands the difference between ‘Good and Evil’: they become accountable to God for Sin – so they have to acquire saving faith for themselves. Babies, and mentally Handicapped MAY be excluded from accountability.
            I wish our love for kin were enough. We have to get to the point where we take God unconditionally – at His terms. He is never wrong; He cannot lie; He set our race in motion – but man just doesn’t want to get all the way to Him.
            Most people are taught all their lives – to believe this, or to do that: and they’re cool. I can’t accept that. How much partiality of believing is enough?
            I fear God decides whether our faith is true, or real, or acceptable. There is some heart threshold completeness about it. I think we play at believing, while God waits – for us to go ‘all in’.
            Love ya, man.

                That was cool Charles. Love you brother. When my mom died I was so happy that I knew she was with Jesus. The joy of Jesus overrides my missing her presence. Following the spirit of God in faith is my daily goal.

    • Charles H

      Sometimes more isn’t better: it’s just more. And sometimes more is just wrong. The problem with all the different versions of the Holy Bible: is the injection of human commentary.
      Matt.10:29 (KJV) “… and one of them shall not fall on the ground WITHOUT your Father.”
      This speaks to presence, of God’s Omni-presence.
      Luke 12″6 (KJV) “… and not one of them is FORGOTTEN before God?”
      This speaks to acknowledgment, or the Omniscience of God.
      Two, of the three, Absolute Attributes are involved concerning falling sparrows: and the Third – Omnipotence is glaringly absent: that of ALL POWER, or control. So a difference can be made between God Being Present, and God Knowing about something: and Him being In Control of the event. Man just cannot seem to not jump to conclusions and get ahead of God; especially in terms of WORDING. God is the Architect of Intelligence, and the Author of Languages; but we seem to know more than He does – and CHANGE THE WORDING. God is NOT Democratic – a (human) consensus isn’t going to change His mind; or His record.
      Also, I don’t care for mixing man’s words (Westminster Confession) as if it ranked with God’s. The anthropomorphic likening of Greek gods – makes for good stories and even movies: but it has no place in Christianity. We have an image of God: but He is not like us. Substituting our own words for His, friendlies-Him-up a bit; or ‘softens’ the edges of His attributes: but man is utterly wrong in so doing. Changing the wording of the Holy Bible is an intrusion into the work and Office of the Holy Spirit. But look at how many people are doing it! No sweat, right? “And as it is appointed unto man once to die, but after this the judgment.” Look, folks – I’d sweat it.
      Finally – this ‘teaching’ is embedded in the overall context of verses 24 through 31. The use of the sparrow is ILLUSTRATIVE (a metaphor) – that God is neither unknowledgable or somehow removed from Believer’s persecutions; and that BY COMPARISON, we are way more important than common life and common life events, even if bad things happen to us. (Like nothing bad ever happened to the Lord and Master Jesus Christ.)

      Now I’ll give you the REALLY BIG reason Trump got in. I think God is using Trump to put the brakes on the downward and accelerating decline of America. Trump is a regulation of the speed of decline. There is no way he can solve it or turn it around. Without the Judeo-christian ethic and moral basis’ – America becomes ungovernable. And that basis is dying-off with the Baby Boomers.

    • Paul ...

      J. … Man is so used to eating hot dogs and cool cats … that God the Father has probably permanently shut the gates to Heaven to mankind … so perhaps it is “only Jesus” that is watching over Trump … the only thing I have trouble figuring is … why would it make God the Father happy to see his only son sacrificed?? … I would think that the death of Jesus on the Cross would only make God the Father madder then Hell at humanity!!!

      • Deanna Johnston Clark

        Paul, the sacrifice of Jesus was the absolute end of human pride…ALL the credit for good comes from the graces that followed. Even the percentage of natural goodness that does exist has no staying power without that Grace.
        Napoleon said the world had seen many empires come and go. All were established through force….except one. Only Jesus Christ made an empire with LOVE
        Napoleon really understood the world.

      • JC Davis

        Paul. after the fall of man the earth was /is under sin rule. By sending his son born of a virgin lived a sinless life. God accepted his gift of blood as the correction for our sin. Yet his kingdom will come at the end. Have faith and live. Doubt Gods gift and die eternally. This 70 years or so is only a blink of the eye compared to eternity. My point is God is allowing this age of sin to run its course without interrupting. That is what I believe.

      • JC Davis

        Paul. When I was 5 years old sitting at a creek someone left a small book. Well I could not read yet but I knew there was something special about that book. I tried to read it, and could not. Yet my heart said to me this is for me. Seek God for yourself being honest with him. He will teach your without book knowledge.

      • Charles H

        Paul…,

        Do you STILL try to put God in your shoes? Do you believe He thinks like us? The vicarious atonement of God the Son, Jesus Christ is a stumblingblock and an offense – and it was set up that way. People who refuse to accept God at His Word: will never understand it. Your soft ridicule reflects your stubbornness in the matter.
        Redeeming Faith is set up to observe a specific ORDER. You must first BELIEVE, and then you will see. You cannot see, and then believe. God uses the trust of Belief to spiritually quicken the soul; and then understanding comes. You are thrashing about within human thinking: and you’ll never figure it out. In fact, you are digging yourself a hole deeper.

        • JCD

          Charles . Paul has a lot more then you and I understand period. That was entirely uncalled for. Men should be allowed to find truth in their own way. Paul has a great deal of insight. Knowledge profits nothing in the day of wrath. You talk of following the spirit. your work in this conversation is far from it. The Lord rebukes you not I.
          Pauls intent is right.

          • JCD

            Blind belief is a fools belief. No Never will I believe before it makes reality to me. Paul don’t listen to people that complicate a simple issue. Follow your heart Brother in Christ. To be.

            • Charles H

              JCD

              As I have previously stated: the Object of our faith, is what gives VALIDITY to our faith. If your faith is placed in the very God of Creation, and Redeemer of man: then God will not fail His word. If you want to place your faith somewhere else – like in only the things you can see: you are going to miss God. Again – God Almighty went to a lot of trouble to put His Word, the Holy Bible out into the world; so people will know what He did (and will do). The Holy Bible is the material for faith and practice of Believers. Evidently you mimic Paul… – and want to see to believe – “No Never will I believe before it makes reality to me.” Well, I don’t know what you are believing then. But I adjure you: if you don’t take God at His Word – you will miss the boat.

          • Charles H

            JCD,

            First and foremost – Paul has a problem concerining the blood of Cthrist shed for sins. And without the shedding of blood there is no remission (of sin). Hebrews 9:22. If, then, the faith you place in Jesus Christ doesn’t embrace that shed blood: you aren’t making it to Heaven. It is a package deal. So if you are intent on taking a pot-shot at my comments: you better base it on Scripture; but nothing you mention contains or conveys it.
            You say that I mention “of following the spirit”: and that is patently false. ‘Following the Spirit (Holy Spirit) is ONLY for Believers. The best, closest one can say is that God gives “light” to those seeking Him. So here you are either confused; or are trying to infer something I did not say. This amounts to a smear, whether intentional or not.
            As to the ‘Order of Faith’ which I stated in the comment you so intensely criticize – I derive from the very words of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In St. John 11:40 – at the grave of Lazarus, in a rebuke to Martha – “Jesus saith to her, Said I not unto thee, that if thou wouldest believe, thou should see the glory of God?” In this rhetorical question, which serves as a rebuke: an order is stated. This reflects back to verse 23 “Thy brother shall rise again.’ The ORDER is first believe; then see. God wants man to take Him at His word, and believe His word. God cannot lie. It’s really simple.
            As to your comment: “The Lord rebukes you not I.” – I find such language total hogwash. I share out of the treasuries of Scripture – real insights and proper principles: and you try to condemn me in the name of the Lord? Wow. The Mind of the Lord is the Bible; and whatever leading the Spirit may give which must agree with Scripture. I don’t know where you are coming from to even speak for God in the matter.
            Finally – good intentions will not get anybody to Heaven. Jesus Christ is ‘the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man cometh to the Father but by me.’ John 14:6. Nowhere do you offer to correct my use of Scripture; which DOES point to Jesus Christ. So I cannot understand where at any point I fail to be faithful to Biblical doctrine or to Jesus Christ Himself.
            Your comment reeks of baseless Social Justice Warrior inaccurate babble.

            • JCD

              Having knowledge of scripture is no substitute for knowing God 2 Peter 1:2
              Many can quote scripture, and use it as a tool of feel good justification of sin. Question we should all ask ourselves is do we know him apart from scripture threw the blood of Jesus. Substance is more then winning a argument by using scripture.

              • Charles H

                JCD,

                I have to admit – that I don’t know where you are coming from.
                First off – I was not trying to ‘win an argument’: I was substantiating the ponts of my comment YOU challenged me on. That is called “elaborating”. So I find here the first point in which you try to turn the tables on me by insinuating that I was arguing. I was proving true what I had said. And if you hadn’t had disputed my comment in the first place: there would not have been ‘an argument’ to begin with.
                Then you throw-in: “quote scripture, and use it as a tool of feel good justification of sin.” What ‘Left-Field’ do you live in? Are you inferring that I am quoting Scripture for this purpose? Do you even read my comments? Or is this the only ‘come back’ you can come up with? At this point I think that your only intention is to paint me as badly as possible. 2 Tim 4:2 – “Preach the word, be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and DOCTRINE.” This is WHAT I DO. Evidently you are not capturing much of anything I am writing: just trying to turn it around on me.
                I CANNOT understand how anybody can know Jesus Christ apart from Scripture! This is going into Whack-a-doodle territory now. All I see you doing here is cobbling together some commonly used religious phrases – which make no sense the way you put them together. The Blood of Christ is in Heaven; on the alter; cleansing sin Believers sin before God: it ISN”T some medium through which we get to know Jesus Christ better. From John 6:63 ‘… the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” Tell me where else are you ‘getting to know Him apart from scripture threw the blood of Jesus’? Are you getting ‘fresh words from God’ where you worship?
                “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Tim 4: 3,4.
                I read your comment – “because Blood contains Gods breath of life from the beginning.” In this comment I find two issues erroniously tied together. God breathed into man and he became a living soul. Then the life of the body is in the blood. The “living soul” talks about conscience – self-awareness and emotions: which is far from being the blood of a body. As a teaching – I find this confused, and mixed: but this is consistant with your replies also. But hey – I don’t write all this reply just for you. Those who are tuned-in to these tit-for-tat exchanges are getting good information on my side. I trust they can see through baseless insinuations and arguments.

            • JCD

              Charles I posted this to Paul 6/15. That is what he was asking ME not you about. Your right sometimes more is not good.
              Paul because Blood contains Gods breath of life from the beginning. Only blood given freely back to God can be excepted as his. The man was from dirt, and must return to dirt. The spirit separated by the blood of Jesus returns to God. What man can not do, God sent his son to do. Jesus is the only way to God the father. Without this teaching Christianity would not exist.

      • RecoveringPublicEducated

        He is pissed Paul. Do not reject His gracious, loving offer. It is free. But it was not cheap. Christ is the resurrection, and final judgement will come.
        Now is the time for grace, and peace with God…Do not reject it.
        The Rider on the White Horse

        Revelation 19:11 Then I saw heaven opened, and a white horse was standing there. Its rider was named Faithful and True, for he judges fairly and wages a righteous war. 12 His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. 13 He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in the finest of pure white linen, followed him on white horses. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He will release the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty, like juice flowing from a winepress. 16 On his robe at his thigh was written this title: King of all kings and Lord of all lords.
        17 Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, shouting to the vultures flying high in the sky: “Come! Gather together for the great banquet God has prepared. 18 Come and eat the flesh of kings, generals, and strong warriors; of horses and their riders; and of all humanity, both free and slave, small and great.”
        19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his army. 20 And the beast was captured, and with him the false prophet who did mighty miracles on behalf of the beast—miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue. Both the beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 Their entire army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the white horse. And the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies.

    DiMartino is absolutely correct that the Fed is working to take Trump down. Like Brandon Smith says, Trump and nationalism will be the scapegoat. Sovereignty has got to go. But history has shown that the Deep State has tremendous patience.

    Side comment from the Pacific Northwest. My wife and I have been building a rural home (NOT in a development) for the past 4 years. This is the 3rd such undertaking since 1967. It is no wonder that virtually all such construction in America is a thing of the past. First is the smothering government regulations. And every trip to Home Depot is a reminder of the inflation hitting building supplies. I swear every hand and power tool, most electrical and plumbing is junk manufactured in China. The Leftists have long put most Montana loggers out of business. Most of our lumber was imported from Canada. We had help from three honest hardworking contractors: a framer, plumber and dry wall father/son. All three said that they were throwing in the towel. These are the Republic’s final days. It won’t be long before no one is left who remembered what we lost.

    • Bill

      Roger D; I believe you left God out of your equation. Maybe the deep state has patience, but God is more patient, and has more control.

      • Roger D

        Bill, yes God is very patient. Yes He is in control. But don’t forget that He created math. God was kicked out of American schools across the nation. Prayer in schools was made illegal 55 years ago. Holy Bibles in schools were made illegal 54 years ago. American unborn lost their God-given right to life 44 years ago. He has watched as 59,556,135 innocent lives were taken.

        Americans are impatient fools. As Brandon Smith described, we are “self-absorbed with frivolous pursuits” to “avoid reality”. We have become desensitized to the insidious of our evil government. Stop and think, all of these laws have been enforced by across the nation, literally at the point of a government gun. It has even forced good men to finance with their tax dollars the unconscionable act of killing unborn children; again literally at the point of a gun. That is evil.

        It is true that a span of 55 years means little to God. But surely 59,556,135 lives of innocent unborn alone (not counting millions of innocents killed, maimed, and displaced in perpetual wars) means everything.

    Greg, I have been an avid listener of your program and a strong believer of
    thoughts and comments from you and your highly respected guests. I believe We, your listeners have come to a conclusion that all this political rhetoric is just more of the same old, same old. Why don’t we all rise up and do something about it? Or are you, and your guest just monetizing your “YOUTUBE” channel with exposure of the left?
    I have heard enough, why don’t you and all of your educated guest speakers work
    on a solution. Let’s all organize for “A CALL FOR ACTION”. Are the leftists that much smarter than “WE THE PEOPLE”?
    Is Obama, and his supporters the only ones that can become Community Organizers.
    I was always taught that there are three types of people. People that MAKE things HAPPEN, people that WATCH things happen, and people that wake up and ask…WHAT HAPPENED? Let’s MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

    Subject: Historic Change
    I do not understand how living in a country with its democracy established
    over 200 years ago, and now, for the first time in history, suddenly we have
    one of our former presidents set up a group called “Organizing for Action” –
    (OFA).
    OFA – 30,000 strong working to disrupt everything that our current president
    is trying to do. This goes against our Democracy, it is an operation that
    will destroy our way of governing. It goes against our Constitution, our
    laws, and the processes established over 200 years ago. If this is allowed
    to proceed then we will be living in chaos very much like third world
    countries are run. What good is it to have an established government if it
    is not going to be respected and allowed to follow our laws? If this does
    not scare you, then we are in worse trouble than you know.
    It is explained below. Do your part: read it and at least pass this on so
    others will know what we are up against. We are losing our country and we
    are so compliant. We are becoming a “PERFECT TARGET” for our enemy!
    Article from the New York Post – If you had an army some 30,000 strong and a
    court system stacked over the decades with judges who would allow you to
    break the laws, how much damage could you do to a country? We are about to
    find out in America!
    The ex-president said he was going to stay involved through community
    organizing and speak out on the issues and that appears to be one
    post-administration promise he intends to keep. He has moved many of his
    administration’s top dogs over to an organization called Organizing for
    Action (OFA). OFA is behind the strategic and tactical implementation of
    the resistance we are seeing across America, and politically active courts
    are providing the leverage for this revolution.
    OFA is dedicated to organizing communities for “progressive” change. Issues
    are gun control, socialist healthcare, abortion, sexual equality, climate
    change, and of course, immigration reform. OFA members were propped up by
    the ex-president’s message from the shadows: “Organizing is the building
    block of everything great we’ve accomplished. Organizers around the country
    are fighting for change in their communities – and OFA is one of the groups
    on the front lines. Commit to this work in 2016 and beyond.”
    OFA’s website says it obtained its “digital” assets from the ex-president’s
    re-election effort and that he inspired the movement. In short, it’s the
    shadow government organization aimed at resisting and tearing down the
    Constitutional Republic – AMERICA

    Paul Sperry, writing for the New York Post, says OFA will fight President
    Donald Trump at every turn of his presidency and the ex-president “will
    command them from a bunker less than two miles from the White House.”
    Sperry writes that the ex-president is setting up a shadow government to
    sabotage the incoming administration through a network of non-profits led by
    OFA, which is growing its war chest (more than $40 million) and has some 250
    offices nationwide. OFA IRS filings, according to Sperry, indicate OFA has
    32,525 volunteers nationwide. The ex-president and his wife will oversee
    the operation from their home/ office near the White House.

    Think about how this work – for example: Trump issues an immigration
    executive order; OFA signals for protests and statements from pro-immigrant
    groups; ACLU lawyers file lawsuits in jurisdictions where activist judges
    obstruct the laws; volunteers are called to protest at airports and
    Congressional town hall meetings; the leftist media springs to action; the
    twitter sphere lights up with social media; violence follows – all emanating
    from the ex-president’s signal that he is heartened by the protests.

    If Barack Obama did not do enough to destroy this country in the 8 years he
    was in office, it appears his future plans are to destroy the foundation on
    which this country has operated on for the last 241 years.

      Victor, and this is why the site is here. So people like you and others can share ideas and thoughts and know what is going on. As far as monetizing my YouTube channel that been cut dramatically because it seems the left who controls YouTube do like comments like this and the thoughts of people I interview. I can’t live in the street in a box (which is where I would be it the Marxist/communists/Luciferians had their way) and put out this kind of content. So I have to pay my bills. If George Soros was funding me I’d have a fake charity and an office and a staff, and much better tech, but he’s NOT. Thank you for your great comment and you passion for America and “We the People.”

    ‘Laughing My Ossoff’ — Kellyanne Conway Celebrates Humiliating Democrat Defeat!!!!!!!!!!
    White House Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway celebrated the humiliating defeat for Democrats in Georgia on Tuesday night after Republican Karen Handel beat her challenger Jon Ossoff.
    “Laughing my #Ossoff,” she wrote on Twitter after it was clear that Handel was winning.

    Conway also took a shot at the pundits who predicted a loss for Trump and Republicans in Georgia.

    “Thanks to everyone who breathlessly and snarkily proclaimed GA06 as a “referendum on POTUS,” she wrote. “You were right.” [COMMENT OF YEAR!]

    Conway thanked Handel for “being a grownup” and “running on the issues” — while actually living in the district she was running[NOT LA LA LAND!]to represent.

    “Welcome to Congress,” she wrote and highlighted Handel’s call to “lift up this nation so that we can find a more civil[NOT UN-CIVIL WAR!]way to deal with our disagreements.”

    I believe the reason the equity markets have advanced since 2009 was to get them back to the 2007 nominal level to keep folks believing in the system. Since at that nominal level there was still a real return loss, they were afraid folks would realize this and leave the system for gold. Therefore, the suppression of gold, so folks would not visibly observe that asset class as having a better real return. Today, the equity markets must advance to deliver the real return folks have expected, but the markets cannot do this on their own; hence, the deliberate and controlled movement up. Unfortunately, folks will start to realize that the real return being received is not risk justified, and should gold begin to move up, the flood out of equities to gold would destroy today’s system. This is the tug-of-war in an effort to control peoples’ perception and psychology. The only way to continue to manage this is to continue to control real returns of paper products in terms of their underlying currency values, and suppress anything else which offers/provides a better alternative. If purchasing power loss is running 8% (Chapwood and Williams), the higher the paper markets must move above this level, and still compensate one’s real return for the risk. DOW 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 100,000?
    In reality, Treasuries are not wealth. A Treasury Bill or Bond is nothing more than a medium of exchange, as it is debt. It is not wealth, but only a representation of such. If you export wealth, oil for example, a product combining labor and resources, you would expect wealth value in exchange. Fiat and debt is not physical wealth returned or received for wealth given, but has been accepted as such. To receive tangible wealth, you would need to exchange for wealth. Today’s system allows you to borrow against such claims, by allowing you to place fiat currency for example on the asset side of your balance sheet. That borrowing then becomes the exchange mechanism for you to receive wealth – essentially debt today is used as collateral. People perceive equity as wealth too, but is only the difference between exchange “value,” and debt owed, and neither of these is wealth. Gold and Silver (tangible wealth) was removed from our currency. For example, in 1964, minimum wage was $1.25, so five quarters paid for an hours worth of labor (Wealth exchanged for wealth). Today, the melt value of those five 1964 quarters is $15.00 – the new minimum wage target. Today, 60 quarters will be required to pay an hours worth of labor. 60 of those 1964 quarters is worth well over $200. So, today, non-wealth or fiat is now accepted in exchange for one’s wealth which is labor only to be exchanged for wealth desired. Therefore, those holding fiat in the end will have no wealth.

    Whats to stop another indebted nation from buying US T-bills/bonds, like Japan did, after China stopped? Whats to stop another superfund (of stolen US $) to act as an independent entity to buy bonds/T-bills? Couldn’t the charade just go on and on, till the crash suits the purpose of the Fed? & whose to say it won’t just be a correction, till the Euro crashes, & more money flows to the US?

    Greg,
    If my sources are right, we are on the cusp of having a new global currency within weeks if not days, and what the Federal Reserve Bank does or does not do will become a nonfactor. Apparently behind closed doors the cash strapped Saudi’s and Qatari’s have struck a deal with the Chinese.
    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-06-01/chinas-next-step-destroy-dollar
    Though the details of this arrangement is sketchy, it is apparent that the payment is going to be made in some type of new gold backed currency. It could be crypto currency ? I don’t know. If you remember Qatar only a few days ago opened the door on this situation by cutting a deal with the Chinese for natural gas. Lets be honest, this has all been in the works for years, every since the Saudi’s had their gold stolen by the western banking cabal. You know what they say about paybacks? In addition our illustrious congress was told to take a hike when they suggested to Germany to boycott Qatar and buy oil from the United States instead. Are you getting it? The world is closing the door on the petrodollar.

    I won’t say brace yourself because I know you already are, but two things could happen in the next few weeks.
    1.) The collapse of the petrodollar if the gulf states completely break from the dollar, which will most likely take the central banks down with it. I wouldn’t rule this out since the Saudi’s are desperate with oil heading toward $30. a barrel.
    2.) A major false flag by the deep state to blame the collapse on Trump and the Russians. Everyone knows how they love their power. Enough to assassinate a sitting president, and try and take down a newly elected one.
    3.) A cyber attack on the central banks to cover up their theft. I know they have been rehearsing this one for years with the European banks. And of course the Russians did it.
    4.) WWIII.- They’ve been trying hard to strike the match with the Russians on this one, but Putin isn’t taking the bait, and neither are the Chinese because they know our economic situation. THE REAL ONE. not the one peddled by the corporate media. The Russians never forgot the playbook Ronald Reagan used on them to take down the Soviet Union. So far they’re following the script perfectly, letting us bankrupt ourselves in Iraq, and Syria.

    Greg, nice interview. I think I found my summer book! Thank you.
    Smart person, that came across clearly, regardless of video refresh rate!

    Greg: I like this interview. I expect the Yellowstone Volcano to blow before Trump is taken down. These people are messing with devine intervention and they cannot win but they may destroy the country completely. Come to think of it they need to know many of us would rather call the nucs in on ourselves than give up our freedom. We would reduce the whole world to the muslim stone age. The Soros’ess can eat rocks and ash! They have no idea how 50 million of us armed and dangerous feel about Globalists, them wanting to make us Serf’s again. The picture of the CNN bots frowning over the loss of the Dem in Georgia was worth millions of words and pounds of video. That is what we thought for eight years and for them to turn violent is a very bad move.

    If you want to double your ratings overnight, post a video of a mud wrestling match between her and Katherine Austin Fitts. We all know the Fed is a bunch of incompetent pseudo-“intellectuals” who never held a job in their life. It’s sad for them really.

    Study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes
    By Rowan Scarborough – The Washington Times – Monday, June 19, 2017

    http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/12/revealed-michigan-recount-uncovers-massive-voter-fraud-detroit-precincts/
    Jill Stien’s recount demand in Michigan is exposing the dems and their fraudulent votes..
    Just imagine if an objective voting audit was done in California, Chicago and Philly! How many more millions of illegal votes would be exposed?
    So did the result of the upper mid-west recount, put the light on voter fraud in most Democratic areas? Let there be darkness. . ..
    Now you know what they meant when they said if Trump isn’t up by 7-10 pts he will lose. Dems steal that much on average from absentee, early voting and outright vote creation on election day.
    And the she still lost Michigan lol.
    The Russians are framing the Democrats now!
    UAW rank and file put da fork in her bum!
    256 votes counted in the general without corresponding ballots in one precinct alone. It adds up, especially with local races.
    The voter “irregularities” in Michigan Democrat-dominant districts being uncovered this way is hilarious.
    You cant reconcile votes in a State that doesn’t REQUIRE voter ID.
    When Democrats decry that Voter ID suppresses votes they are correct. It suppresses ILLEGAL Votes. Call for a Congressional investigation!
    So, what shadow Maddow is saying is that the Russians stuffed all those ballot boxes in Detroit? God those Russians are some sneaky sumbitches!
    Democrats are supposed to be the elite and smarter than everyone else. That’s what they been saying for years, at least since Obama. It seems like it’s usually the Democrats that can’t figure out how elections work, even though they are held almost every year depending on the election. You would think they could figure out how to properly run elections, given their intellectual superiority.
    How dumb do you have to be to rig an election, cheat your stupid arse off, still lose and then ask for a recount. We actually owe Jill Stein a thank you.
    ¦236 precincts in balance — equal numbers of voters counted by workers and machines ¦248 precincts with too many votes and no explanation (77 were 1 over; 62 were 2 over, 37 were 3 over, 20 were 4 over, 52 were 5 or more over). ¦144 precincts with too few votes and no explanation (81 were 1 under, 29 were 2 under; 19 were 3 under; 7 were 4 under; 8 were 5 or more under)
    Seems within the realm of human error. L O L ! sHAME ON YOU dETROIT!

    Not news to many of us. Trump should have at least 65 percent. Hillary cheated just like she did in her debate

    Greg, have you heard of George Ure? I first heard him on Coast to Coast radio. He accurately predicted the market would make new highs last summer when most others were preaching doom and gloom. You might want to get his take on the next year and what he’s predicting. He can be reached at his peoplenomics website.

  39. DavidC

    Another great interview Greg.

    I have one thought though. What is the Fed supposed to do, just keep pumping and pumping until the whole thing implodes from an even higher (and more bubble blown) level? At least if it raises and tightens now, while it can and the indices are at or near all time highs, it will leave SOME room for manoeuvre when the recssion hits. Whether or not a recession is inevitable (I think it is!) and whether or not the Fed should have left it as late as it has (I think it’s left it much too late), to blame its actions PURELY on political motive (albeit one can see the political angle) is wrong.

    One can blame the ECB and BoJ as much as, if not more than, the Fed for their ridiculous bubble blowing. Draghi is a fool.

    The fed has shown its stupidity but at least it will have SOME wiggle room when the recssion hits.

    Greg last year I wrote to my local member of parliament regarding the gold and silver market being manipulated on a daily basis.He informed me that the regulators will not do anything because Goldman Sachs,HSBC,and the other criminal banks control the bank of england,even employing there own overseer to make things workout for them.Technically saying they run the country and control the government and we can’t do nothing about it. .The same problem exists over the pond.Janet yellen,Goldman Sachs have taken over your country,and you know who they are working for.The same people who took you to war in ww1 ,ww2,and have bankrupted our country over the last 50 years.

  43. Terry Reps

    Greg, my husband and I appreciate your program and the stellar guests you interview ( especially Catherine Austin-Fitts) I also respect you as a deeply Christian man. I would hope that you will listen to the following interview about the miraculous change occurring in Russia, with the rebirth and growth of the Christian Orthodox faith. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1xOFdxglFw
    I have been doing a little reading and feel as if I have discovered a new planet. I think your audience would find this woman’s observations even more fascinating than Cliff High’s, and relevant in breaking through the political nonsense and noise of today.

  44. DanielSong39

    I guess a broken clock is right twice a day; I’m far from a fan of the Fed but stopping the money-printing is the right thing to do, regardless of the short-term pain it will cause.

  45. JohnF

    One (1) Rate Hike during all of Obama’s 8 years in Dec 2015 – while we have had Three (3) Rate increase since Trump was elected – Dec 2016 – Mar 2017 – Jun 2017

  46. jack

    Well she won’t flat out say that gold is rigged by the FED , and you directly asked the question. She dodged it, so she has zero credibility GReg. Be careful of anyone who EVER had anything to do with the FED, if they leave and stray too far from the script they get a nail gun. Get Jim Willie back on ….. that guy holds back nothing. And is out of mail gun range

  47. David

    I am reading Booth’s book now. Indeed, a fascinating look into the Fed. Nothing but a bunch of theorists who have ZERO accountability. What happens when all of this blows up? They shrug their shoulders and say, “Oops… looks like we were wrong on that one.” Think Greenspan. And the rest of America? We’re left with a failed economy… and whatever else happens as a result. Hard to believe that so few economic-model nerds are able to wield so much power over so many people.

    Great interview and book!
