Just Looking at Different Sides of the Same Coin

Washington’s Blog
October 10, 2011

The Occupy Wall Street protests are obviously targeting Wall Street, i.e. the giant banks.

The Occupy the Fed protests – led by Alex Jones, the Oathkeepers and other conservatives – are targeting the Federal Reserve. *

While some are trying to weaken these two movements through a divide-and-conquer strategy, the truth is that they are two sides of the same coin.

Specifically, the corrupt, giant banks would never have gotten so big and powerful on their own. In a free market, the leaner banks with sounder business models would be growing, while the giants who made reckless speculative gambles would have gone bust. See thisthis and this.

It is the Federal Reserve, Treasury and Congress who have repeatedly bailed out the big banksensured they make money at taxpayer expenseexempted them from standard accounting practices and thecriminal and fraud laws which govern the little guyencouraged insane amounts of leverage, and enabled the too big to fail banks – through “moral hazard” – to become even more reckless.

Indeed, the government made them big in the first place. As I noted in 2009:

 

As MIT economics professor and former IMF chief economist Simon Johnson points outtoday, the official White House position is that:

(1) The government created the mega-giants, and they are not the product of free market competition

***

(3) Giant banks are good for the economy

And given that the 12 Federal Reserve banks are private – see thisthis and this – the giant banks have a huge amount of influence on what the Fed does. Indeed, the money-center banks in New York control the New York Fed, the most powerful Fed bank. Indeed, Jamie Dimon – the head of JP Morgan Chase – is a Director of the New York Fed.

Any attempt by the left to say that the free market is all bad and the government is all good is naive and counter-productive.

And any attempt by the right to say that we should leave the giant banks alone because that’s the free market are wrong.

The Federal Reserve and the giant banks are part of a single malignant, symbiotic relationship. Conservatives and liberals should unite in breaking up both.

* This is an over-simplification. In reality, many conservatives and people who would like to end the Fed are part of the Wall Street protests … and reining in the Fed is one of the central platforms of Occupy Wall Street.

  1. Both “sides” are “right” is what makes hegelian dialectics work + the synthesis possible:

    “Occupy Wall Street is COINTELPRO (Phony Opposition)”

    Worth reading at henrymakow.com/occupy_wall_street_is_cointelp.html

    Ps. check out the “Venus Project” part there at the end of the article as well…

    ====================================

    OWS is a staged event. Whether one agrees or disagrees, whether one is from the left or from the right is not the issue. Every one outside the FED has no use for it. That doesnt make those from the right and the left, “Friends” or even allies.

    Its common ground, thats all, same thing as “breathing air” is common ground for all.

    End the FED and Centralized banking. The “rats” who do the bidding of TPTB operate and control the FED and Central Banking.

    Cut off the legs of the NWO, they cannot run. When their heads waist high, cut off their heads as well.

    Each side is agreed that the FED is a cause for the problems we face. However, that is where the “left – right” common ground ends.

    Be careful who you align yourself with. 2 enemies might both hate a third party. “Common ground”. That doesnt make them the “best of friends”.

    Bravo2………out
