According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, consumer price inflation, as measured by the consumer price index (CPI), increased at an "official" annualized rate of 8.3 percent in August.

This exceeded Wall Street's consensus expectations of 8.1 percent.  What's more, it crushed investor hopes a 'Powell pivot' would come sooner rather than later.  On Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) crashed 1,276 points on the news.

Powell, a central planner, wants consumer price inflation to be about 2 percent.  Instead, he's got something that's over 400 percent higher.  What's going on?

If you want to understand what's up with raging consumer price inflation and Fed monetary policy, you must understand this.  Right now, in the United States as in most of the world, we have a scam currency that's controlled by central planners.  Specifically, we have what Karl Marx envisioned in Plank No. 5 of his Communist Manifesto:

"No. 5.  Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly."

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed a privately owned 'national bank.'  It also holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States.

Without the Fed's policies of mass credit creation, it would have been impossible for the U.S. government to run up a $30.8 trillion national debt.  Without the Fed's printing press money, the U.S. government never could have run annual trillion-dollar budget deficits for a better part of the last decade and a half.  Without the Fed's fake money there would not be over 100 million people dependent upon the U.S. government for their daily bread.
