fiddlethefigures Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 The Report From Iron Mountain is a book, published in 1967 (during the Johnson Administration) by Dial Press, that states that it is the report of a government panel. The book claims that it was authored by a Special Study Group of fifteen men whose identities were to remain secret and that it was not intended to be made public. The best selling book purportedly reported on a government panel that concluded war is necessary for the proper functioning of an economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Report_From_Iron_Mountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiddlethefigures Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 You didn't read the wikipedia entry very far did you.... Even after this admission, there are people who believe the so-called hoax is indeed a real government work and was called a hoax to discredit the report. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Report_From_Iron_Mountain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIM: Ed, I began this interview with this myth that the Fed is an inflation fighting institution. Another myth is the Fed was created to stabilize our economy. Looking at history, it sprang from the bank panic of 1907. However, since its inception we have seen more frequent recessions, a depression, stock market crashes and more importantly, and I think this is a key for listeners to understand, the dollar has lost over 90% of its purchasing power. http://www.financialsense.com/transcriptio...018griffin.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observant andy Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Get your hands on a copy of Naomi Kline's "The Shock Doctrine", which demonstrates a similar connection between war / disaster and economic growth, but relies on facts and references rather than conspiracy theories. A very good book well worth reading, however the report from iron mountain although conspirital holds some truth also in my humble opinion.
