Do you know anything about the International Monetary Fund? Haha. No, you don’t. Stop pretending. Let me help you.
The BIG STORY:
The IMF steals US dollars and sends them directly to Russia, China, and Iran. WTF?
1. The IMF was formed in July 1944 at the US Bretton Woods Conference in the US. The end of WWII was in sight and the Normandy landings had succeeded.
2. The IMF’s primary mission was once to provide stability in the international monetary system focused on such arcane things as exchange rates for currency. Seems tame?
3. This has now grown to include economic stability, the management and avoidance of economic and financial crises, and raising the standard of living. Globally.
4. The IMF publishes a lot of research on the global economy, financial markets, and outlooks both for large countries and regional economies.
5. In the end, the IMF gives out money. Lots of money. Gobs of money. And, the US either directly provides it or provides an unequivocal guaranty from the US Treasury which means American taxpayers.
6. The IMF will blow a lot of smoke up the world’s ass that its assistance is loans, but they are literally giving away money — no interest loans, no repayment “loans” and something called Special Drawing Rights or SDRs.
Who’s running the show, Big Red Car?
There are 190 member countries and the IMF has a staff of 2,700 persons from 150 countries headquartered in Washington, DC.
There is an Executive Board of 24 Directors representing a cross section of funders and “borrowers.”
Biggest borrowers are Argentina, Egypt, Ukraine, and Pakistan. Largest “precautionary loans” went to Mexico, Chile, and Columbia.
It cost $303,000,000 to run the IMF to achieve their newly revised mission:
Promote international monetary cooperation;
Facilitate the expansion and balanced growth of international trade;
Promote exchange stability;
Assist in the establishment of a multilateral system of payments; and,
Make resources available (with adequate safeguards — give me a minute to stop laughing) to members experiencing balance-of-payments difficulties.
[Extra credit question: See anything that serves American national security interests?]
Can you bottom line it, Big Red Car?
Yes, dear reader, forgive me.
In 2021, the IMF provided to:
Russia – $17,000,000,000 in SDRs (special drawing rights immediately exchangeable into foreign currency — might come in handy if the world tried to pull the plug on your shitty little economy)
China – $40,000,000,000 — can buy a few missiles and landing craft to invade Taiwan
Iran – $4,500,000,000 — Hamas, Hezbollah, the Quds, the Houthis appreciate the money
This was from a record level of IMF SDRs in the amount of $650,000,000,000 all backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.
Stop and re-read this section. The US, acting through the IMF, funded Russia as it was building its invasion force on the Ukraine border.
Translation:
While Russian troops were massing on the Ukraine border to slaughter Ukraine, while China was threatening war with the US and the invasion of Taiwan, and while Iran was funding international terror, our government approved the payments noted above from American taxpayer dollars.
WTF are we doing?
It gets worse
Next year Joe Biden and Janet Yellen (Sec Treas) propose that the IMF receive $2,000,000,000,000 in US support.
You can’t make this stuff up, folks.
You are literally paying taxes so these clowns in Washington can fund dictators, wars, and terrorists. Murder of babies, children, women, and old people and make war on hospitals and schools.
Here’s the KILLER: The United States of America has veto power over every financial arrangement entered into by the IMF. Boom! Joe Biden and Janet Yellen can stop this nonsense tomorrow before breakfast. Why don’t they?
