In 1913 your family could buy an ounce of gold for $20. Today the same ounce of gold would sell for $3,682 on the spot market. Put another way, a millionaire in 1913 could buy 50,000 ounces of gold with a million dollars. Today that amount of gold sells for $184,100,000. So now you know why "millionaire" was a big deal. Put yet another way, over 99.5% of the value of your family's dollar's purchasing power has been deliberately destroyed by the evil men and women of the Feral Reserveless scam. However much you want to End the Fed you should want it much more.

Its hard to make comparison such as for a budget automobile in 1991 compared to 2025 especially optional features in 1991 are standard now such as cruise control. Also gas milage is a lot better.

Same goes with renting as in Florida panhandle in 1993 there were no "luxury apartments", now they are almost everywhere.

I like to examine what has not changed (for most part) like a Whopper or Big Mac large size meal. How much does it cost and how does it compare to the starting hourly wage at Burger King and McDonalds. Track that by year.

As long as real estate exist from cave to today's building, every next new one is calling "luxury" due to new materials and technology to be sold at "luxury price".

Don't forget. Owning is part of the illusion, because they have arranged it so you don't own shit. We are always rentiers and short term possessors, evicted at the pleasure of the 'legal but not lawful' debt system.

Cost of Living Is the Biggest Challenge Americans Face Note that every other category listed above is also affected by the cost of living, especially housing.

Meanwhile, the Fed actively sought to spike CPI, and now is seemingly satisfied that it has been well above their made-up 2% target for four and a half years.

Core PCE has now been above the Fed’s made-up “2% target” since April 2021, and above their actual mandate of “stable prices” since forever.

As Marc Faber said to Julia La Roche:

“Ordinary people are struggling, but ordinary people are never interviewed on CNBC, or on your program, or on Fox News. They have no voice, so the elite can tell the public, ‘Oh, the economy is doing well.’”

Under the Federal Reserve Act, the Fed is exempt from federal, state, and local taxation, except for real estate taxes.

This exemption applies to its income, capital stock, and surplus funds.

Nobody really know how much capital stock is or who are shareholders or how income distribution looks like.

“The Federal Reserve was created to help Wall Street…It wasn’t created to help individuals who couldn’t get their money out of banks in the panic of 1907 in New York City. It was for people like JP Morgan, who wanted to make sure that his literal friends who ran other banks and insurance companies had a source of help should another panic happen.”

“This is the problem with central banks the world over: they are in the business of imposing prosperity through financial means, rather than by treating prosperity as a co-product of actual growth. Their intentions are the best but what they are doing is incalculable harm.”

Former Fed Gov. Kugler violated trading rules while at the central bank, ethics report found

Adriana Kugler resigned from the Federal Reserve after Jerome Powell denied her request for a waiver regarding her financial holdings that violated ethics rules, according to a Fed official.

Kugler faced an investigation by the Fed's internal watchdog concerning her financial disclosures before her resignation in August.

Kugler acknowledged that her spouse's purchases of Apple Inc. and Cava Group Inc. shares violated investment rules, stating, 'my spouse made the purchases without my knowledge.'

Kugler's resignation allowed President Donald Trump to appoint Stephen Miran to the Fed's board amidst his pressure for lower interest rates.

Not sure its the Rothschilds, but there does seem to be something there.

Fed Funds rate is 3.75% to 4% before today's 0.25% rate cut. 9 voted for this and 3 against which may mean the next rate cut may only get 7 or 8 votes if conditions remain the same.

How one man can decide how much interest taxpayers must pay monthly to Rothschild family for money they never really had.
