Aug. 15—Today is August 15, 2022, the 51st anniversary of the crime of the century, in which a hapless President Richard Nixon was induced by his Wall Street and City of London controllers to pull the plug on the post-war Bretton Woods system. This crime rang in the era of floating exchange rates, and of genocidal free trade and globalization, and it marked the beginning of the end of Glass-Steagall, opening the floodgates to the rampant speculation which has now plunged the world into a systemic breakdown crisis.
