Ron Paul Tells Trump: "To Really 'Make America Great Again', End The Fed!"

Former Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Richard Fisher recently gave a speech identifying the Federal Reserve’s easy money/low interest rate policies as a source of the public anger that propelled Donald Trump into the White House. Mr. Fisher is certainly correct that the Fed’s policies have “skewered” the middle class. However, the problem is not specific Fed policies, but the very system of fiat currency managed by a secretive central bank.

Turkeys Were Optimistic On Wednesday – Unicorns May Have Less Than A Week

War on Cash Goes into Full Effect – Citibank Stops Accepting Cash at Multiple Branches

by Jack Burns, Intellihub:
n 2015, as a guest on Ron Paul’s Liberty Report, Economics Professor Joseph Salerno warned of a coming war on cash. Apparently, now, that time has come. Governments loathe cash transactions because they’re private and hard to tax. As a result, some countries are taking drastic measures to reclaim their bank notes.
Salerno said, “The French premier last year (2014) drew a parallel between the war on terror and the war on cash,” and warned the world’s economic elite are now “using the war on terror as a cover to get at cash.” The Mises Institute professor and VP predicted to Paul, “I think this could come in the next couple of years. If they have to bail out the financial system again…they’ll block the cash in the banks to prevent it from escaping and destabilizing these fractional reserve banks,” Salerno said.

Whatever precise form Mr Trump’s administration takes, we know this: Mr Obama’s legacy will be purged. In many cases all it will take is the stroke of Mr Trump’s pen. The Obama erasure will go far deeper than undoing domestic laws, or foreign deals.

The Swiss “Paradox”: The Case Against Currency Wars

from GoldAndLiberty:

Conventional wisdom has it that a relatively weaker currency will stimulate exports and years of monetary interventions have been based on this very premise. In this article, we examine whether this rule might indeed be an oversimplified solution to a deeply complex problem and an unsound “panacea”, with potentially dangerous side-effects. We look at one of the most notable exceptions to this rule, the case of Switzerland, which casts doubt over the prudence and the net effect of central bank policies around the world to manipulate and control their currencies.
Exchange rate fundamentals
A currency reflects its purchasing power relative to other currencies and while exchange rate movements are not the sole indicator of the performance of an economy, they are certainly an important one. These movements reflect the level of supply and demand of a given currency, as well as inflation, and other economic factors.

Welcome To The Currency War, Part 23: Europe Will Devalue Or Dissolve

by John Rubino, Dollar Collapse:
No rest for the wicked. With the shockwaves from Brexit and President Trump still reverberating around the world, the established order is bracing for more bad news. Next up is a December 4 Italian constitutional referendum that might end the reign of centrist prime minister Matteo Renzi and replace him with a bunch of anti-euro iconoclasts from the Brexit/Trump part of the spectrum. Here’s an excerpt from a much longer, deep-context Guardian UK article:
As the air of insurgency becomes unmistakable, the technical debate over reforming a 70-year-old constitution is in danger of becoming a sideshow. Perhaps the most disturbing poll for Renzi found last week that only 40% of Italians say they will vote on the reform package; 56% consider their vote to be more a verdict on the prime minister, his government and, by implication, the state of the nation.

Market Report: Dollar up, Yields Up, Gold Down

by Alasdair Macleod, GoldMoney:
It’s been a torrid week for gold bulls, with prices sliding through the $1200 level, where some support could have been expected, only bottoming at $1175 in late-Asian trade last night.
In early European trade, gold seems to have found some support recovering to $1190. Gold is only up 12% on the year at these levels, and the Dow has now outperformed it. Furthermore, technical analysts will not be cheered by the next chart, which shows gold’s moving averages forming a death cross.
