The Fed Did Indeed Cause the Housing Bubble

To: The Wall Street Journal

Re: “The Fed Didn’t Cause the Housing Bubble”

By: Alan Greenspan, former Chairman of the Federal Reserve

Dated: Wednesday, March 11, 2009

Ladies and Gentlemen:

In his article on your opinion page, “The Fed Didn’t Cause the Housing Bubble,” My company served as lead financial advisor to the Federal Housing Administration between 1994 and 1997.  I watched both the Administration and the Federal Reserve aggressively implement the policies that engineered the housing bubble. These are described at my website and in my on-line book,Dillon Read & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits (http://www.dunwalke.com).

One story, for example, is the following:
“In 1995, a senior Clinton Administration official shared with me the Administration’s targets for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage volumes in low- and moderate-income communities. We had recently reviewed the Administration’s plans to increase government mortgage guarantees — most of these mortgages would also be pooled and sold as securities to investors. Even in 1995, I could see that these plans would create unserviceable debt loads in communities struggling with the falling incomes expected from globalization. Homeowners would default on mortgages while losses on mortgage-backed securities would drain retirement savings from 401(k)s and pension plans. Taxpayers would ultimately be hit with a large bill . . . but insiders would make a bundle. I looked at the official and said that the Administration was planning on issuing more mortgages than there were houses or residents. “Shut up, this is none of your business,” the official snapped back.”

From: “Sub-Prime Mortgage Woes Are No Accident” (http://solari.com/news/announcements/08-07-07/)

One of the dirty little secrets behind the housing bubble is the long standing partnership of narcotics trafficking and mortgage fraud and the use of the two in combination to target and destroy minority and poor communities with highly profitable economic warfare. This model is global. It is operating in counties throughout the world as well as in US communities.

Of all the actions that the Federal Reserve took to engineer this housing bubble, the one that I would note is Mr. Greenspan’s efforts to pacify Congresswoman Waters regarding allegations of government sponsored narcotics trafficking at a time when open Congressional hearings would have contributed to an important discussion of the operations engaging in mortgage fraud in minority communities. See, “Financial Coup d’Etat,” Chapter 16, Dillon Read & the Aristocracy of Stock Profits which was written in 2005 and published in April 2006, drawing from an article I first published in May 1999.

“On December 18, 1997, the CIA Inspector General delivered Volume I of their report to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence regarding charges that the CIA was complicit in narcotics trafficking in South Central Los Angeles. Washington, D.C. ’s response was compatible with attracting the continued flow of an estimated $500 billion–$1 trillion a year of money laundering into the U.S. financial system. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan in January 1998 visited Los Angeles with Congresswoman Maxine Waters — who had been a vocal critic of the government’s involvement in narcotics trafficking — with news reports that he had pledged billions to come to her district. In February Al Gore announced that Water’s district in Los Angeles had been awarded Empowerment Zone status by HUD (under Secretary Cuomo’s leadership) and made eligible for $300 million in federal grants and tax benefits.”

Alan Greenspan is a liar. The Federal Reserve and its long standing partner, the US Treasury, engineered the housing bubble, including the fraudulent inducement of America as part of a financial coup d’etat. Our bankruptcy was not an accident. It was engineered at the highest levels.

Your publication of Greenspan’s breezy and bogus history of the housing bubble insults your readership.

Wow...thanks MB, this was a very good read. 

I'm right there with you and Hugo. 

Why doesn't the main stream touch this?  We never hear about any of this. 

If 20/20 and 60 minutes is so good being "journalists" why don't they investigate while this stuff is going down?

 Why do we only hear about it AFTER the fact when there is almost nothing the taxpayer can do except sit there and get reamed?

Look at who owns the media bro.  Take for example News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch's empire.  It's fucking nuts!

All of the large scale events in america have been orchestrated. The 1929 depression, Prohibition, WWI, WWII, Vietnam, Korea, Move away from GOLD backed money, the new Depression america is now experiencing is all done to gain wealth and to consolidate business. As you can see the main thing occurring in america now is the consolidation of businesses: banks buying banks, real estate under government control, financial under government control, land/property under government control, agriculture under control of big businesses like Monsanto, etc etc. This was the goal all along and the orchestrated/FAKE claims being doled out to the masses about the home mortgage being the cause is how it is being done.

The woes of america will be over as soon as all of the businesses are consolidated either under the government or big businesses that are the crony friends of government officials. American government will then essentially re-activate the economy and things will begin flowing again....except you will be buying EVERYTHING from the government

I would like to see anyone read the history of these international bankers and be able to say with a straight face this wasn't an orchestrated event.  Of course it is, just another in a long line.

People should go to see the movie THE INTERNATIONAL...It spells out what these banks are really all about and how they interact with world governments. How they control governments and international/world affairs..including orchestrating financial events be it poverty in nations, depressions..etc.... amazing
