The Federal Reserve and its Monetary Malpractice is at the core of the American Dream becoming a myth for the vast majority of Americans. Jobs, disposable income and financial security are all under pressure, as the Federal Reserve continues its historic monetary gamble on unproven policies of Quantitative Easing and ZIRP. Charles Hugh Smith and Gordon T Long discuss how a flawed premise and the mistaken role for this private-public institution is leading to moral hazard, unintended consequences and dysfunctional financial markets. They argue that there is sufficient proof to now call into question the historic role of the Federal Reserve . This two part series also examines who is winning, who is losing and where it is likely to lead. The facts laid out in this series should be a concern to all Americans who care for their country and the future for their children.

CARGO CULT: False Perceptions & Propaganda
Fed Cargo Cult depends on the "magic" of manipulating internal psychological states:
1. Boosting expectations of inflation so people will be encouraged to spend what money they have now.
2. Creating the perception that housing is recovering, as opposed to the truth that housing is only rising due
to stupendous incentives created by subsidies paid by others and the banks' stealth campaign to lower
supply by holding millions of defaulted homes off the market.
3. By stimulating demand and artificially reducing supply, the Fed and the banks hope to create phantom
collateral (home equity) that can support another enormous wave of new borrowing and spending.
What nobody dares mention is the Cargo Cult is funneling trillions of dollars into unproductive
malinvestment.
Housing is a form of consumption; it is not a productive investment. It is subject to diminishing returns: all the
trillions dumped into subsidizing housing have yielded a pathetically meager increase in phantom assets.
The Cargo Cult of the Federal Reserve has failed, and it should be abolished as the ultimate
destroyer of wealth via its policies of manipulation, malinvestment and moral hazard.
