Yes this was conspiracy for a long time, but we do know the truth and in fact this committee was actually created by an EO in the 80s…
Anyway we do not expect such support as this new FED position is most likely a bipartisan unilateral move by the Federal Reserve and PPT to coordinate this about face. Part of us feels like it was forced rather than intentional and we know the global instability is a big part of this new “FED Doctrine.”
