The regular Daily Bell contributor Frank Suess included one of my articles at FauxCapitalist.com in his weekly Mountain Vision newsletter, on October 4, 2012.
“Gary North: “The FED operates for the benefit of the largest banks”
Unlike fellow Mises devotee, Thomas DiLorenzo, who keeps calling the Fed a “national bank” and “government bank,” to obscure the fact that it´s 100% privately owned and operates at a profit for its shareholders, Gary North admitted on March 9, 2011, that the Fed “operates for the benefit of the largest banks.”
This is from the Daily Bell‘s bio on Suess:
“Who is he: Frank R. Suess is CEO & Chairman of BFI Capital Group Inc. and he heads up the BFI group of companies in Zurich, Switzerland. They provide wealth management and consulting companies including the Global Gold Program offering secure gold storage in Switzerland. Frank also personally advises a select group of BFI’s high net-worth clients around the world. Suess’s vast knowledge of Switzerland and Liechtenstein is appreciated in his capacity as a member of the Advisory Board for The Foundation for the Advancement of Free-Market Thinking (FAFMT).
An advocate of free-market principles, Frank frequently speaks and writes on global economic, geo-political and financial matters. He is the editor of the Mountain Vision Update, BFI’s complimentary weekly newsletter. Furthermore, he is a regular contributor to The Daily Bell.“
This is ironic, given what I have written about the Daily Bell.

I use the term “fictitious capital” to describe what the Big Bankers, public and private, are attempting to inflict on the ordinary 99% people who through their entrepreneur led labour create ALL REAL value, capital included.
In the middle of the 19th century Karl Marx coined this term to describe the notes and loans that governments and gentry used to finance wars, luxuries, estates and otherwise living beyond their REAL means.
At that time such paper would accrue during “Boom” times as the economy expanded and would usually max out at around 10-12% of a countries GDP. As long as the good times rolled on it was not a problem, but came a crisis of over production (of all the wrong things) there would be the day of reckoning. Ergo, the bill collectors came and cash not paper promises was the order of the day. This resulted in a variety of ways to settle, some were paid in part or in full but more often bankruptcies and swindles resulted. Then the stage was set for the next cycle – boom bust.
Today though the situation with ‘ficticious’ or ‘counterfeit capital is vastly different.
100 years of pumped up growth for growths sake first based on the now discredited ideas of John Maynard Keynes has produced a situation where some 20 times the worlds gross product exists as fictitious capital, a counterfeit collection of deficits, bills, bonds, exchanges, derivatives, swaps and the latest fraud, “quantitive easing”. (Le Monde Diplomatique puts it at 50 times)
Every day we read of new Central and Private bank meetings, “Increasing capital base” is their current fad.
OFF THE WALL! There is not a farthing of REAL capital in all of this ratbag of lies, swindles and manipulations.
REAL capital is ONLY accumulated labour dedicated to enhancing future production. Ergo entrepreneur led LABOUR (of the 99%) is the only source that can augment existing capital or create new.
The banksters, led by the IMF, USA FED, and British “financial services” are well aware of this fact but that will not stop them from attempting to download this fraud onto the REAL product of Labour in the form of “bailouts” of “sovereign” debts, to be serviced by taxes on the REAL producers.
The 99% will be robbed of (much prepaid) social services and benefits to sevice “debts”. Austerity it is called when those who had NO hand in running up this fraud are required to pay interest that will amount to 40-60% of the future product of their labour. Gone will be pensions, good schools, decent medical care, infrastructure (e.g. utilities that work reliably); even adequate diets will be history.
“Let them eat cake!” exclaimed La Royale Marie Antoinette.
Let them eat garbage, implies La Grande Dame Christine LaGarde, of the International Monetary Fascists(IMF)
So Greece, you are the front line today, Italy and Spain may be next, but do not think that any country, including the relatively well off Germany or the resource rich Canada and Australia will be forever exempt. Ms Merkel, beware!
The “poor little ones” are but appetisers who will whet the appetites of these financial service vultures and jackals. For certain if they succeed in the beginning the taste of financial carrion will make them hunger for more, and they will finish only when the 99% of humanity is subject as debtors to enslavement by the 1%.
But his does not have to be! Greece you can repudiate the fraud! Lead the way! DEFAULT is the way to go!
99% be inclusive! Support Greece today, Italy Spain, …, &c. tomorrow and…; the world in future.
Hold on to your souls! Hang tough!
You have a WORLD to WIN!!
