Janet Yellen's NATO Emporium: US Treasury Does Proxy War
Blackrock, JP Morgan, and the US Treasury under Janet Yellen have gathered over at Kiev promising economic stimulus for Ukraine, the spear in the US proxy war against Russia.
US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen made an unexpected trip to Kiev, Ukraine, where she has been cutting deals with what remains of Zelensky's government, which will receive substantial economic support, effectively funding their entire existence via US patronage. This article seeks to make the reader aware of the prevalent role the US Department of Treasury plays in organizing major financial efforts related to Hybrid War – mainly economic war & lawfare – or conventional proxy war, that is rebuilding a war platform for US-led NATO. Throughout the entire duration of the Russian Special Military Operation in Ukraine the top economic and financial entities, as well as central banks belonging to NATO countries have propped up the Zelensky regime in Kiev.
Recently Yellen wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times in which she states, “We cannot allow Ukraine to lose the war for economic reasons when it has shown an ability to succeed on the battlefield” this shows how much the US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen was already well onboard on the financialization and streamlining of the proxy war against Russia long before her recent visit. Back in July 2022, Yellen called Russia SMO in Ukraine the “greatest challenge” to the global economy. Thus her labor in Kiev was focused on establishing these financial lifelines and discussing new sanctions aimed at weakening Russia’s economy as well as the possibility of using Russian frozen assets to help in Ukraine’s economic recovery. Sec. Yellen also met with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and other top officials, including the head of Ukraine’s National Bank, acknowledging the US has provided nearly $50 billion in security, economic and humanitarian assistance and announced another multibillion-dollar package to boost the country’s economy.
The United States and NATO/EU countries have used an array of methods in economic and financial war — unsuccessfully — against the Eurasian giant to sabotage its economic capacities in the middle of the Special Military Operation. The U.S. treasury secretary officialized bankrolling of Lenin’s Unnatural Mini-Empire’s economy with the collective wealth of taxpayers squared by US-crafted foreign entanglements is just one side of the matter. As this crisis will prompt a mechanism in the US-led Golden Billion’s central banks to pull capital from the future into the present because without this its Game Over for the US and its vassals.
Economic and trade sanctions against certain foreign nations or organizations are administered and enforced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control ("OFAC") which works within the US Department of Treasury following US foreign policy and national security objectives. The Treasury enables sanctions that are meant to hamper the Eurasian giants' capacities to do war all while it creates, builds it up, and weaponizes Ukraine further.
A variety of quite nonsensical sanctions have then ensued with Yellen openly demonizing Russia and organizing cooperation to “restrict Russia’s energy revenues” by imposing a fantastical price cap on the country’s oil. Russia may decide not to do business with countries that try to impose this clumsy illicit US-led NATO-EU price cap chaotically transforming world markets. Even if OPEC nations made it clear that they cannot replace Russia's share of the markets, the prices could go into volatility, triggering a cascading effect of higher prices. Higher prices would ensue in all other industries, exponentially increasing inflation, while stagnation would turn into recession in many countries. Thus, any attempt to impose price caps is not only illegal but could easily backfire and destroy Western economies.
This Washington-ordained onslaught, which took decades to manifest itself, was achieved by carrying out an oligarchic-fascist coup d'état in 2014 in the post soviet state, effectively turning it into a failed state, perfect to be used and armed as a platform for attack. Russia would have ended up becoming a vassal state as a result of NATO's progressive erosion of its national security red lines and its nuclear second-strike capabilities. Before the 2014 Maidan coup Ukraine was already considered among the most corrupt nations on a global scale, thus these last 9 years of being propped up as a NATO unofficial army only served to accelerate and increase the corruption tenfold.
And all of this is taking place while there is observable increasing instability in the debt market, – that will inevitably implode if left to its own devices – and there does not appear to be any direct intervention by central banks aka Federal Reserve as of the writing of this article. In this case, without direct intervention from the Federal Reserve to stabilize this debt Market – temporarily of course – its Game Over as some warnings from Bury and Rickards would lead us to believe.
The proverbial cat was out of the bag long before Yellen set foot on Ukraine, already in the last months of 2022 there was a vaguely worded Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Blackrock that would prepare to turn a profit on Ukraine's sake. According to the MoU, BlackRock FMA would advise the Ukrainian government, specifically the Ministry of Economy, on an investment roadmap for Ukraine's economic reconstruction. JP Morgan became the latest financial entity to sign the MoU with Ukraine meant to assist Ukraine in its reconstruction.
Blackrock is the largest asset management and investment firm in the world investing more than $10 trillion in client funds, making it a behemoth in its own right with the economic might of a world power. Many believe it serves as a nexus between the Federal Reserve, Wall Street banks such as Goldman Sachs and Vanguard, as well as other top dogs in the field. Not to mention BlackRock is quite exquisitely invested in the war merchant industry and has connections with the top weapon contractors. The risk in this market continues to rise piled on top of that food inflation worldwide continues to rise and in Europe especially inflation and aggregate are also outpacing what has been forecast now it's the same phenomenon as in the United States and literally around the world central banks are playing the concocting inflation even since the 2007 financial crisis.
All-In
Inflation is directly correlated to central banker QE mischief. Central banks are raising rates they need to scapegoat another source of inflation. All the tools at a central banker's disposal won't fix inflation, in fact just the opposite making it go higher. Without direct intervention these debt markets will implode, they require further manipulation as each tumultuous cycle requires, even more, to keep afloat. Ever since 2008, central banks have been on a money creation binge unlike anything ever seen in the history of the world, the purpose of which was to prop up a stock market bubble and re-prop up a real estate bubble. This destroyed the price signal in most markets if not all, any asset class as a whole there's no bearing on reality whatsoever.
This began a tear in the fabric of the value resulting in a market disconnected with no bearing at all on reality and no authentic price discovery mechanisms. In an authentic market, there are buyers and sellers which prompts negotiation in terms of the action of buying and selling assets to determine a fair value for an asset or an entire asset class. Since the last meltdown with central banks buying all the debt among other things mortgage-backed Securities creating artificial demand they have created artificial demand for mortgages pushing housing into a stratospheric bubble and everything else and this price Discovery mechanism gets stripped out so the markets become completely fake and hollow. Central banks issue debt through one method and then buy that debt back through another method in a revolving manner.
The reader can see now it is only natural for the Secretary of Treasury to be in Ukraine opening up officially a new charter of US-NATO protectorate and nation hyper financialization. Moreover, the western financial system itself has become so overburdened with ever-increasing debt that without these engineered crisis-to-crisis mechanisms the system itself would cease to function. It is certainly no secret that at its core the system itself demands exponentially increasing amounts of global debt and the world's central banks are the ones who issue the debt. Many observers have outlined for years that at one point the issue of global debt would reach a moment of maximum saturation. The moment of Maximum debt saturation is achieved when the system itself starts to break down coupled with rapidly worsening global inflation.
Many pieces are moving as maximum saturation is quickly approaching and the system itself just cannot take on any more debt. 1) It would manifest itself with surging global inflation followed by the 2) usual central banks' quick fixes, like raising rates. 3) Then as the war expands, the US-led Golden Billions' mainstream media narratives will blame inflation solely on NATO's proxy war against Russia to retroactively whitewash central bankers' historical inflationary role. So by all means, Madam Yellen and her department have quite a specific role to put into play against the Russian Federation and the Global South.
