I needed some more expert input before posting this. A complex murky area but a hunting I did go.
Tucker Carlson last night explained how the money supply has increased by approx. 40% since May 2020. Which impacts inflation and the value of our currency. Oddly I had been watching FRED and was really looking at the the graphical representation of the money supply and indeed it does look like that is exactly what has happened.
But the devil is in the details. Statistics, dam statistics and lies:
May 2020 a significant change was made to the M1. Savings deposits, which were historically in M2 were moved to M1. As a result OCD's [other checkable deposits] went from 17% [$5 Trillion] to 70% [$16 Trillion]! The logic was that savings accounts were just as liquid so now the line has been blurred between M1 and M2.
Okay that explains the graphs skyrocketing increase in the money supply starting May 2020..
I must ask two kuestions:
1. Why?
2. Why Now?
First observation is that one cannot compare the graphs information about money supply prior May 2020 and post May 2020. Why did the Fed want to create this confusion? They don't want us to understand what is happening.
Onward to the Velocity of money. Q1 2020 the velocity was 5.227. When the change was made the Velocity plunged to 1.553. Q3 Velocity is continuing the decline to 1.189.
A decreased velocity signals less consumer demand and points towards a recession.
Yesterday the news headlines: "Inflation Rate of 6.2% Marks A 31-Year High".
More lies. 6.2% is a joke. Everything has increased in price and if it was only 6.2% that would be a sale! Gas, food, medicine, clothing ect. Ha.Ha.Ha. 6.2%.
By artificially manipulating the money supply they are hiding the rate of true inflation taking place. By repressing the number they are taking pressure off of the Fed to increase interest rates to reduce the inflation rate. Stagflation- the middle class worse nightmare.
Don't believe your lying eyes, All is Great for the 2022 elections.

Rats, Hope, and Despair at The End of the World...The Beautiful Ones (earlier post)
When people make ineffectual attempts to pronounce "NIMH" it's often in reference to Don Bluth's The Secret of NIMH. Famous for traumatizing children, the cartoon features a widowed field mouse who tries to save her sick mouse kid by getting help from a society of big-brained rats who dream of no longer having to eat garbage for sustenance. Why are the rats so smart? Because they escaped from the National Institute of Mental Health, or NIMH for short, where they were the test subjects of intelligence boosting experiments. Good news everybody, NIMH was a real place and their rat experiments were way darker than the book, movie or your nightmares depicted!
.....Schiff’s newfound enthusiasm for Durham’s prosecutions stands in stark contrast to repeated comments he made after Durham was selected by then-Attorney General William Barr in 2019.
Speaking at the National Press Club in June 2019, Schiff said: “This desire to provide cover for the president by investigating the investigators, this desire to give amplification to the counternarrative, ignore what the Russians did, ignore what the Russians may do in the next election, focus only on investigating the investigators.”
He attacked Durham’s investigation again in October 2019 following reports the inquiry had shifted into a “criminal” investigation.
“These reports, if true, raise profound new concerns that the Department of Justice under AG Barr has lost its independence and become a vehicle for President Trump’s political revenge,” he said.
Schiff was asked why he drew that conclusion during an appearance on ABC’s This Week with Martha Raddatz and said Barr was being used "to go after the president's enemies."
When asked why the congressman wouldn’t let the investigation run its course, he replied: “Well, first of all, we have an inspector general who is an independent body who is doing an investigation that’s near conclusion, so there’s been no public explanation for why this needs to be a criminal probe.”....
.....""Durham has basically confirmed for me what I thought was obvious a long time ago: Steele's sources were basically reading the newspaper and inventing things based on that."
"So that's Steele and Fusion GPS and they're working for Perkins Coie," continued Mate. "Another contractor working for Perkins Coie, through another lawyer P.C. Michael Sussman, is Crowd Strike. That's the cyber security firm who generated the allegation that Russia hacked the DNC.""......
The owner and head instructor of Fischer Aviation, a family-run flight school in Essex County, and a New York City man who joined actor William Shatner on a trip to space last month have been identified as the two people killed in a plane crash in Hampton on Thursday, state police said.
Thomas P. Fischer, 54, of the Jefferson portion of Lake Hopatcong, a second generation flight instructor, was killed along with Glen M. de Vries, 49, of New York City, according to Trooper Brandi Slota, a New Jersey State police spokesperson........
A small asteroid orbiting close to Earth could be a fragment of the moon that snapped off during an ancient impact, according to new research published Nov. 11 in the journal Communications Earth & Environment.
If confirmed, that would make the asteroid the first near-Earth object with a known lunar origin — and could help shed light on the chaotic history of our planet and its pockmarked companion, the researchers said.
The asteroid in question is called Kamo`oalewa — a Hawaiian word that roughly means "the oscillating celestial fragment" — and was discovered in 2016 by astronomers using the PanSTARRS telescope in Hawaii.
Though the object is about 4 million times fainter than what humans can see with the naked eye, every April the rock's orbit brings it close enough to Earth that it becomes briefly visible to our most powerful telescopes. (In this case, "close enough" means about 9 million miles, or 14.4 million kilometers, from Earth — or nearly 40 times the distance between Earth and the moon).
Observations showed that the asteroid measures about the size of a ferris wheel, with a diameter of no more than 190 feet (58 meters).
Because of its near-Earth orbit, Kamo`oalewa fits into a category of celestial objects called quasi-satellites — essentially, objects that orbit the sun, but stay pretty close to Earth. Astronomers have detected plenty of quasi-satellites before, but they have a hard time studying them in detail, given the objects' typically small size and incredible dimness.
The United States would be incapable of defending itself against a hypersonic missile akin to the experimental one China launched over the summer, according to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff .
