Federal Reserve officials are considering a new type of quantitative easing that will allegedly attempt to boost the economy without accelerating inflation. Under the new approach, the Fed would print new money to buy long-term mortgage or Treasury bonds but effectively tie up that money by borrowing it back for short periods at low rates. And if you believe that will work, I've got a bridge to nowhere I think you'll be very interested in purchasing...

The Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FOMC) has made it official: After its latest two day meeting, it announced its goal to devalue the dollar by 33% over the next 20 years. But, an increase of 2% a year over a period of 20 years will lead to a 50% increase in the price level. It will take 150 (2032) dollars to purchase the same basket of goods 100 (2012) dollars can buy today. What will be called the “dollar” in 2032 will be worth one-third less (100/150) than what we call a dollar today.

World food prices hit a new record high in January after rising for a seventh consecutive month, the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) said Thursday, warning the poor would be hit hardest.

The FAO Food Price Index, which monitors monthly price changes for a basket of commodities, averaged 231 points in January -- up 3.4 percent from December and its highest level since FAO started measuring food prices in 1990.

Awesome animation explaining the FED and fractional reserve banking. It's 30 minutes long and well worth the watch! After watching it, I'd say it is pretty much a summary of a documentary made in 1996 called "The Money Masters", of which can be seen by searching for it on google video. Although a bit longer (3 hrs) its also worth the watch.
