THIRTY-FIVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ANSWERED 255ing. They all go to the Clinton Global Initiative and they like be-
ing in New York during the United Nations General Assembly.
I’m able to talk to a lot of them. What they tell me pri-
vately is not what they say publicly. And this is what I put in
my books and in Strategic Intelligence. I don’t always mention
names because sometimes you’re not at liberty to do so. But I
do mention the conversations.
I’ve had conversations with central bankers, people who
are on the FOMC and the Board of Governors. They tell me
point blank: “We don’t know what we’re doing, we’re making
it up as we go along.” Again, they will never say that publicly
because it would freak people out.
Sometimes the power elite retire and new people come
along. You have to watch for the newbies — guys like Michael
Froman. He’s not a household name, but he’s one of Robert
Reuben’s protégés who’s in very powerful positions.
The rules for the power elite club are never criticize an-
other member and never say what you really think. The art of
the exercise is to — even if you’re not a full-fledged member
— at least have enough access to them that you know what
they are thinking.
- What are SDRs?
They’re essentially world money. Now when you say world
money it sounds kind of spooky or scary but it actually has a
funny name. It’s called the Special Drawing Right or SDR. The
global financial elites pick strange names for what they’re do-
ing so people don’t understand what it is
The International Monetary Fund, the IMF, can print these
SDRs. They have in the past — there’s nothing new about it.
They were invented in 1969 and they’ve issued hundreds of
billions of SDRs over the years. But they only issue them when
there’s a financial panic. They don’t issue them every day or
when times are good.
