Donald Trump Accuses Federal Reserve’s Yellen of Being ‘Political’

September 13, 2016

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Monday that U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen was keeping interest rates low because of political pressure from the Obama administration, questioning the motives of an institution whose work hinges on maintaining its independence.

“Well, it’s [the interest rate] staying at zero because she’s obviously political and she’s doing what Obama wants her to do,” Trump told CNBC in a phone interview, saying Yellen should be “ashamed” of what she was doing to the country.

The U.S. central bank has raised interest rates just once since cutting them to zero in response to the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed has indicated it is preparing for a second hike of 0.25 percentage point, although it has signalled the pace of future rate rises will be slower than in the past.

“Any increase at all will be a very, very small increase because they want to keep the market up so Obama goes out and let the new guy…raise interest rates…and watch what happens in the stock market,” Trump said.

He did not specify how the Democratic president had put pressure on Yellen.

While Yellen has met with Obama, the Fed as an institution is independent when it comes to raising or lowering rates, and both Yellen and other rate-setters have said the Fed has no view on the November 8 election. http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-federal-reserve-yellen-political-497944

Is this just another rant from Donald Trump or is there maybe something to this?

Notice something else that was in the news today:

The Most Political Fed in History

September 13, 2016

Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari wants us to believe that the Fed is not a political entity.

Kashkari is either ignoring reality or simply providing cover for the single most political Fed in history. This is not a Left vs. Right issue, this is an establishment vs. legitimate reform issue. …

Again, there was no real justifiable reason for the Fed to launch another QE program, let alone an open ended one. This was a clear gift from a Fed Chairman to a sitting President regardless of political party affiliation.

Today the politicization is even more obvious. We have Fed Governors openly contributing to Presidential candidate’s campaigns. And Janet Yellen met privately with President Obama in April 2016.

The official reason for this was to discuss “the economy and income inequality” but anyone with a functioning brain knows Obama was giving Yellen her marching orders to prop the markets up until the November election. …

Again, the Fed is indeed a political entity. And this particular Fed is the single most political Fed in history. This is not about Left vs. Right, this is about maintaining the current political/financial power structure in the US at all costs. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-13/most-political-fed-history

Janet Yellen had hinted about raising interest rates last December, but as of this instant, still has not done so. She knows that it would be safer for the economy to do so (see http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/feds-yellen-testifies-economy-strong-enough-handle-rate-hike-n473756).

In the past several years, it has become clearer that the US Justice Department, as well as its Internal Revenue Service, has taken steps that certainly seem to be motivated by politics.

I do not believe that the Federal Reserve is immune from doing so as well. While, publicly the Federal Reserve has not voiced a presidential candidate preference, one would think that with Donald Trump’s occasional anti-Wall Street rhetoric, that they may not want him elected (Hillary Clinton, too, has made anti-Wall Street rhetoric, but her history of financial ties to Wall Street have made many consider that she is much more likely to support Wall Street views than Donald Trump).

Several actions that the US Federal Reserve has taken during the time of the Obama Administration have been biblically inappropriate (Isaiah 1:22; Habakkuk 2:6) and will contribute to the end of the USA (Habakkuk 2:2-8).

America’s Day of Reckoning 2017 Dollar Collapse? Economist James Dale Davidson says that a financial bloodbath will hit the USA and there is nothing that Washington can do to stop it. He claims that at least 57 nations have gotten together to dethrone the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency. He claims this can happen any day or in a few months. He mentions China, Russia, the AIIB, and gold. He claims his track record in predicting massive shifts in the past should assure people that he is right about this. He claims that there will be massive unemployment, near elimination of social security benefits, and more. Is James Dale Davidson possibly right on any of this? Dr. Thiel goes over many of his claims and explains what the Bible shows related to the coming collapse of the US dollar. This is a video.
Can the Bilderberg Group Affect 2017 and Beyond? The infamous Bilderberg Group met in Dresden, Germany from June 9-12 in 2016. This super-secretive group has been meeting since 1954 and has admitted to some subjects it would cover, but blocked out cell phone reception and forbid coverage of the discussions by the media. This is considered THE meeting to be part of for the elites who are working for a global-type of government. It is by invitation only. They are working towards their version of the New World Order as opposed to the good news of the Kingdom of God. At least one top leader apparently attended to try to get the Bilderberg Group’s support for a bid to become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations to replace Ban ki-Moon, whose term ends 31 December 2016. This is a video.
