Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Independent economic analyst Zachary Foust unpacks how the same monetary forces behind the Federal Reserve, the 2008 financial collapse, and modern Zionist influence are shaping Donald Trump's role in the Iran conflict, America's endless wars, and the steady erosion of national sovereignty in episode 247 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Zachary Foust is a real estate professional and independent economic commentator known for deep dives connecting housing affordability, central banking, geopolitical conflict, and elite financial influence. His rapidly growing online content explores how institutions like the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, global banking networks, and modern political movements intersect to shape economic instability, foreign policy, and the future of the American middle class.In this conversation, Faust and Zachary explore whether the modern U.S. economy functions less like a free market and more like a debt-driven system designed to concentrate wealth and centralized power. The discussion moves through the Federal Reserve, the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse, and the growing influence of global banking institutions, while also questioning whether modern politics has become more performative than ideological. They examine Donald Trump's foreign policy, the Iran conflict, Freedom Cities, and the political networks surrounding figures like Jeffrey Epstein and Howard Lutnick, before expanding into larger conversations about propaganda, Zionism, war profiteering, and the financial interests that have shaped global conflicts for generations.In this episode:• The Federal Reserve: Why the American economy increasingly resembles a debt-based Ponzi scheme designed to keep the public permanently dependent• Donald Trump & Iran: The oil and market manipulation hiding beneath the Iran conflict• Freedom Cities: Why Juan Orlando Hernandez, the convicted narco-terrorist pardoned by Trump, is now tied to the Honduras charter city experiment• Jeffrey Epstein & Howard Lutnick: The political and financial networks connecting elite power, blackmail, and modern influence operations• The 2008 Financial Collapse: How the bailout era permanently transformed the American middle class and accelerated wealth consolidation• Citizens United: How corporate money transformed American politics into billion-dollar influence campaigns• Trump & Russia: Why were Trump's Russian financial connections never fully explained?• Zionism & Global Power: The distinction between Judaism, political Zionism, and the ideological movements shaping modern foreign policy• Rothschild Banking Influence: The historical allegations surrounding private banking power, central banking, and the financing of world wars• William Cooper: The intelligence insider whose warnings about propaganda and elite control still echo decades laterThe conversation ultimately points toward a darker possibility: that many of the systems Americans still view as broken may be functioning exactly as intended. CONNECT with Zachary FoustInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/zachary.loft/?hl=enYouTube & Social Media: https://www.youtube.com/@ZacharyLoft

Stijn Schmitz welcomes Steve Hanke, Professor of Applied Economics at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss global economic trends, monetary policy, and the emerging commodity super cycle. The professor’s outlook suggests a complex economic landscape with potential for significant disruption, driven by monetary policy, geopolitical tensions, and structural changes in global trade and commodity markets. Hanke emphasizes the critical importance of money supply as a key indicator of economic activity and inflation, noting that the United States is currently experiencing an accelerating money supply that will make controlling inflation challenging. The discussion highlights several significant global economic dynamics, particularly focusing on commodity markets and geopolitical tensions. Hanke argues that the world is entering a commodity super cycle characterized by underinvestment, supply chain disruptions, and precautionary inventory building. The ongoing conflict in the Gulf region and disruptions to global trade have further complicated commodity markets, with potential oil prices ranging from $100 to $350 per barrel depending on supply constraints. Geopolitically, Hanke suggests that Russia and China are emerging as significant winners in this environment, while the United States has potentially weakened its global position through its actions. He dismisses concerns about de-dollarization, arguing that the US dollar remains the dominant global currency with limited realistic alternatives. On inflation, Hanke predicts continued upward pressure due to monetary policy loosening, commercial bank lending growth, and federal reserve actions. He emphasizes that inflation is fundamentally a monetary phenomenon, driven by increases in money supply rather than isolated economic events. Regarding commodities, Hanke identifies several sectors poised for growth, including critical materials like lithium and vanadium. He recommends investors be “long everything” in the commodity space, noting significant price increases in various exotic commodities.

Drawing on Rothbard's writings on money and central banking, Murray Sabrin makes the case that inflation is a hidden tax, the Federal Reserve is neither independent nor beneficial, and that ending central banking is the unfinished business of the American Revolution.Part of the faculty panel entitled "What Rothbard Can Teach the Informed Layperson About Economics". The Austrian Economics Research Conference is the international, interdisciplinary meeting of the Austrian school, bringing together leading scholars doing research in this vibrant and influential intellectual tradition.

What if one finanial family not only influenced history, but helped design it?The Rothschilds may not be the only wealthy family, or even the biggest, but certainly is the most public influencial name that we know today. We go through their Central Banking influence orchestrating the economy, shaping policies, and influencing politicians. Their hand is behing a secret invisible influence behind leadership. We will trace their history and how this family specifically became wealthy. And how they continued to run a debt-based system of keeping nations under their control through debt. They operate a network of interconnected financial Elite.

As the SGB Next Issue approaches in India, a massive question remains: Is government-backed gold enough to stop a 12% annual wealth dilution? Today, we explore why the Gold vs Bitcoin India debate is reaching a tipping point. If India already holds the world's largest private reserve of hard money, 35,000 tons of gold sitting in households, why is the state still clinging to a failing fiat standard?In this episode, I sit down with Aaronman (@plebstogether) to discuss why the Indian subcontinent is a sleeping giant for sovereign money. We explore the cultural transition from physical gold to digital bits and why the mindset of self-custody is already hardwired into the population.Aaron takes us through his journey of escaping the stifling bureaucracy of Europe to return to Goa and build something that matters. He explains how the Indian spirit of "Jugaad," or frugal innovation, is being applied to Bitcoin hardware and infrastructure. By moving away from centralized education and toward community building, Aaron is helping people realize they do not need permission to build parallel systems that work.We dive into the mechanics of creating a circular economy in India. Aaron shares how his team is onboarding local merchants and creating peer-to-peer networks that bypass broken fiat rails. It is about creating a localized Citadel in Goa where people can trade, learn, and store value without being diluted by a monetary system that devalues their labor by 12% every year. Aaron provides a strategic roadmap for community building in any emerging market, highlighting why peer-to-peer education is the most effective tool for spreading hard money to the next generation.—Bitcoin Beach TeamConnect and Learn more about Aaronman:X: https://x.com/plebstogetherX: https://x.com/bitshala_orgX: https://x.com/Bitplebs_inWeb: https://www.plebstogetherstrong.com/Web: https://bitshala.org/Support and follow Bitcoin Beach:X: https://www.twitter.com/BitcoinBeach IG: https://www.instagram.com/bitcoinbeach_sv TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@livefrombitcoinbeach Web: https://www.bitcoinbeach.com Browse through this quick guide to learn more about the episode:00:00 Intro02:21 How to quit fiat jobs for Bitcoin infrastructure careers.05:30 Why Indian schools fail to teach Proof of Work.09:25 Can the El Salvador Bitcoin diploma scale to India?12:15 How to find Bitcoin merchants and communities in Goa.14:11 Step-by-step guide to building grassroots Bitcoin communities in India.22:21 Understanding the 4 Factions: Builders, Educators, Cypherpunks, Freeholders.28:43 Is the RBI hostile to Bitcoin?

In this episode of The Right Side with Doug Billings, Doug explores a question sitting beneath today's biggest headlines: who really gets the final say when things go wrong?From America's decision to step away from the World Health Organization, to a Supreme Court case that could reshape the relationship between the President and the Federal Reserve, to the digital systems shaping how the next generation thinks and focuses, this is a wide-angle conversation about sovereignty in the modern age.This episode examines how authority flows through institutions, how accountability and independence create tension in a constitutional republic, and why attention, cognition, and culture may be as important to America's future as law, economics, and national security.Support the show

Is the Federal Reserve's independence a pillar of democracy or a convenient shield that allows elected officials to duck their responsibilities? This week on Capitalisn't, we confront a shift in Washington after the Justice Department served subpoenas on the Fed. Joining the conversation is Former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, Sir Paul Tucker, who complicates the definition of central bank autonomy. If monetary policy is a "latent instrument of taxation," should it be shielded from the King—the executive branch—and reclaimed by the legislature? We explore the provocative argument that the Fed has become dangerously wary of its relationship with Congress, acting as a self-governing entity rather than a delegated authority. Does the U.S. model, where the Fed defines its own version of price stability, explain the accountability gap we see when supervisory failures like the SVB collapse result in zero consequences for leadership?Finally, we address an unsettling mystery regarding the global financial system. If Fed independence is truly degrading, why are the markets so strangely sanguine? Are global investors simply anesthetized by the AI boom, or does the dollar's global monopoly allow the U.S. to decay without paying an immediate price? We debate whether the market has ceased to be a barometer for institutional health and instead become a tool for protecting shareholder rents—failing to interpret a "catastrophic forecast" until it is already too late.Tucker is also the author of "Unelected Power: The Quest for Legitimacy in Central Banking and the Regulatory State" & "Global Discord: Values and Power in a Fractured World Order".

Central bankers are not afraid Trump will “politicize” the Fed and turn it into a crony arm of the government that warps the economy to benefit those close to power. They're afraid his blind inflationism and lack of subtlety will make it impossible to hide the fact that it already is.Read the article here: https://mises.org/mises-wire/central-banking-establishment-genuinely-worried-about-trump-not-reasons-they-sayBe sure to follow the Guns and Butter podcast at https://Mises.org/GB

Today's episode opens with a quiet charge, Murphy & Keen circling the walls of money to see what's solid and what's only painted there. Our two very different economists argue over whether banks summon credit from nothing or simply pass along what was saved, each holding a different candle to the same dark machinery. As the conversation rolls, the familiar ghosts of failed forecasts and brittle theories drift about, reminding us how easily economics slips away from the world it tries to explain. By the end, it feels like a steady march through the uneasy heart of the financial system. Still human, still searching, still trying to make sense of the noise.

  Roseanne sits down with Mel K for a fiery deep-dive into the Bank for International Settlements (the "central bank of central banks"), who really pulls the levers of global finance, and why ordinary people feel the squeeze. They trace how monetary policy ripples into everyday life, unpack the history and structure of the BIS, and debate the long-running "NWO" narrative—what's documented, what's speculation, and where citizens should focus their energy. Expect sharp questions, receipts, and plenty of plain-English translation of alphabet-soup institutions.

In this episode of the Bitcoin for Corporations Show, Pierre Rochard and Spencer Nichols unpack Strategy's Q2 earnings: FASB's mark-to-market EPS, perpetual preferreds (“stretch/stride/strike/strife”), ATM/MAV guidance, and the idea that Strategy could scale from ~4% to ~8% of outstanding bitcoin. They also dig into bitcoin-as-collateral, reflexivity, and treasury risk management.

After the 2008 financial crisis, and especially after the COVID pandemic of 2020, an increasing number of Americans are questioning the wisdom of unregulated markets and envisioning a more active role for the state. Scholars have coined a panoply of neologisms to capture this view of the political economy, including political scientist Kenneth Vogel's “marketcraft.” The term indicates that the state not only lays the foundation for markets through the protection of the rule of law and property rights, but it also shapes market economies through policy interventions and regulatory institutions like the Federal Trade Commission.Chris Hughes' new book, “Marketcrafters: The 100-Year Struggle to Shape the American Economy,” traces how governments led by both major parties have worked with the private sector since the country's founding to intentionally and strategically shape markets. The narrative reveals how Adam Smith's proverbial “invisible” hand has always been rather quite visible.Hughes is a co-founder of Facebook who left the company in 2007 to work for former President Barack Obama and is now completing his PhD at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. Hughes joins Bethany and Luigi to discuss the government's historical role, both in success and failure, of marketcrafting to rebalance economic power and create fairer and more efficient markets. Their journey takes us from the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 in response to a series of banking failures to recent mass investment in the semiconductor industry. Together, they discuss how to stop marketcrafting from becoming a victim of the political process, how it is operationalized differently in times of normalcy versus times of crisis, and how it must navigate the limits of individual and institutional power. Finally, they also discuss whether it is truly possible to craft markets in advance or only to correct market flaws after a crisis, with Hughes' own prior stomping grounds at Facebook as their case study.Read an excerpt of the book on ProMarket here.

Austan Goolsbee is one of Tyler Cowen's favorite economists—not because they always agree, but because Goolsbee embodies what it means to think like an economist. Whether he's analyzing productivity slowdowns in the construction sector, exploring the impact of taxes on digital commerce, or poking holes in overconfident macro narratives, Goolsbee is consistently sharp, skeptical, and curious. A longtime professor at the University of Chicago's Booth School and former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Obama, Goolsbee now brings that intellectual discipline—and a healthy dose of humor—to his role as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. Tyler and Austan explore what theoretical frameworks Goolsbee uses for understanding inflation, why he's skeptical of monetary policy rules, whether post-pandemic inflation was mostly from the demand or supply side, the proliferation of stablecoins and shadow banking, housing prices and construction productivity, how microeconomic principles apply to managing a regional Fed bank, whether the structure of the Federal Reserve system should change, AI's role in banking supervision and economic forecasting, stablecoins and CBDCs, AI's productivity potential over the coming decades, his secret to beating Ted Cruz in college debates, and more.

What if ending the Federal Reserve created worse problems than the ones we're trying to solve?In this solo presentation, Hans explores the complex world of central banking, focusing on the Federal Reserve's role in the global economy. He examines monetary policy from their perspective to help listeners understand the actual mechanisms at work beyond the typical criticisms.The presentation takes a deep dive into the US dollar's status as the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits and costs of this position that few Americans fully understand. Through an examination of the "Triffin Dilemma," Hans explains the historical tensions between maintaining a gold standard and providing sufficient global liquidity.With careful analysis backed by economic texts, he offers a warning about alternatives to the current system, suggesting that globalist central banking plans might be far more concerning than our existing monetary framework.Central Banking from the Insider Perspective: An approach to monetary policy from the perspective of those who implement it, explaining how the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Congress all play interconnected roles in the expansion of the money supply. Clarification that while the Fed does expand the money supply, the initial demand for money starts with Congressional spending.The US Dollar as World Reserve Currency: A deep dive into what it means for the US to have the world's reserve currency, exploring both the benefits (seigniorage, lower borrowing costs, international prestige) and the costs (vulnerability to global financial shocks, trade imbalances, currency appreciation affecting exports).The Triffin Dilemma Explained: An exploration of economist Robert Triffin's identified conflict: global trade needs an elastic supply of dollar liquidity, but the US gold holdings (under the former gold standard) were essentially fixed. This tension ultimately led to abandoning the gold standard in 1971 and has significant implications for today's monetary system.Be Careful What You Wish For: A warning about the alternatives to the Federal Reserve, suggesting that what globalist central bankers have been trying to implement for decades—a global currency outside national control—would be worse for Americans than the current system.▶️ Chapters:00:00 - Introduction and Background on Central Banking03:00 - Why Few People Understand the Fed's Real Mechanisms06:00 - How Money Creation Works: Congress to Treasury to Fed11:00 - Central Banking Alternatives and Their Risks15:00 - Reserve Currency Status: Definition and History22:00 - Benefits of Being the World's Reserve Currency28:00 - The Costs of Reserve Currency Status32:00 - The Triffin Dilemma: Gold Standard vs. Elastic Currency41:00 - How Central Bankers View Gold as a "Brake on Growth"47:00 - Ending Gold Convertibility in 1971 and Its Effects51:00 - Warning About Globalist Central Banking Alternatives54:00 - Conclusion and Call for FeedbackGot Questions?
