“This is the only accurate account I have seen of what really happened

controversial and new view of oil and great power geopolitics through

Montagu Norman and Benjamin Strong
By F. William Engdahl
“After
1914, under the guidance of a Morgan man, Benjamin Strong, first and,
by far, the most powerful President in the history of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, U.S. monetary policy and capital flows in the
critical years up to 1929-1931, were, in effect, guided by the Bank of
England under its head, Montagu Norman. The banking capital flows of
the twelve regional Federal Reserve banks were channeled into New York
under Strong's influence.
It was a lop-sided domination by New York, opposite to the original
intent of the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, which envisioned a division
of powers among the regional Federal Reserve districts and the
Washington Reserve Board. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 had been
passed by Congress primarily to prevent the damaging effects of
periodic banking panics such as in 1907, from causing broader domestic
economic depressions.” more
Some
unconventional reflections
on the Great Depression and the New Deal
By
F. William Engdahl
It
was fortunate for the historical legacy of President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, that the initial military success of the Third Reich in
Europe in 1939-1940, and the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941
took attention away from his record in dealing with America’s Great
Depression. Had Roosevelt not ended his Presidency as a victorious war
President, he would instead be remembered as the President whose
policies all but ruined the inherent economic vitality of the American
economy for decades after. more
Halford MacKinder's
Necessary War
By F. William Engdahl
"An iron-clad Swedish
guarantee"
The
dependence of the German steel industry on the Swedish iron ore was no
small affair. By 1938, shortly before Hitler marched into Austria,
German steel production had tripled in tonnage from 1913, on the eve of
the First World War. Ruhr steel mills depended on imported iron ore for
almost three-quarters of their steel-making needs, and Sweden provided
more than 11 million tons of that in 1939 alone. After 1939, Sweden had
to replace lost French iron ore as well. The economic inter-dependency
between Swedish iron ore and German steel was strategic in every sense.
Without sufficient steel, no tanks would roll; the Luftwaffe would be
without planes; no guns, no artillery, in short, all materiel required
to execute a major war would lack. more

Hunting Asian Tigers:
Washington and
the 1997-98 Asia Shock
F. William Engdahl
Once
the East Asian Tiger economies had begun to open up to foreign capital,
but well before they had adequate controls over possible abuses in
place, hedge funds went on the attack. The secretive funds first
targeted the weakest economy, Thailand. American speculator, George
Soros, acted in secrecy and armed with an undisclosed credit line from
a group of international banks including Citigroup. They bet that
Thailand would be forced to devalue the baht and break from the peg to
the dollar. Soros, head of Quantum Fund, Julian Robertson, head of the
Tiger Fund and reportedly also the LTCM hedge fund, whose management
included former Federal Reserve deputy, David Mullins, unleashed a huge
speculative attack on the Thai currency and stocks. By June, Thailand
had capitulated, the currency was floated, and it was forced to turn to
the IMF for help. In swift succession, the same hedge funds and banks
hit the Philippines, Indonesia and then South Korea. They pocketed
billions as the populations sank into economic chaos and poverty. more
