14-02-12 US: Treacherous Stanley Fischer - No 2 in the Fed

OccupyTLV, Feb 12 - Israeli media today publish that Fischer's financial disclosure in the US reveals that:
a. He is going to be the richest individual in the Fed
b. He has an enormous investment in Blackrock - one of two firms that he designated to handle Israel's foreign reserves.

As Governor of Bank of Israel Fischer single-handed implemented a proven unsustainable policy of supporting the dollar against the Israeli Shekel.  Following his hasty departure from Israel it turned out the such policy incurred so far a loss of NIS 40 billions - an enormous sum relative to the Israeli economy.

Fischer is a key figure in the global banking cartel. His track record shows more of the same in Israel and elsewhere:
  • Fischer treacherous conduct was first alleged by Nobel Prize winner Joseph Stiglitz, relative to his conduct in Argentina as senior officer of IMF
  • Similar claims were raised relative to his conduct in Russia as a senior officer of the World Bank
  • Fischer was member of the senior management team that caused the collapse of Citigroup, which required enormous bailout by the US Treasury.
  • In Israel, Fischer created a real estate bubble, similar to that in the US in 2000s, according to a recent OECD report.
  • In Israel, Fischer established disregard of FOIA in Bank of Israel, according to report by the Israeli FOIA Association (NGO)   
  • In Israel: Fischer established banks above the law, subservient to the US surveillance apparatus.
Bloomberg predicted that Fischer is going to eclipse Yellen in the Fed... time will tell what damage he will cause to the US economy during his tenure there... Surely he is not the one to restore banking regulation in the US!
