Power and Corruption FED style

With Producer (The CON), Writer, Director, Investigative Journalist Patrick Lovell
3

I am so happy to announce my first interview/discussion podcast. Joining me as my esteemed guest is writer, director, producer, investigative journalist, and someone who I call my friend, Patrick Lovell. It is with great pleasure for me to introduce you to Patrick Lovell.

Patrick and I have known eachother for more than seven years. We met as we were both still in production of our individual projects. His being a powerful 5 part docuseries of incredible and raw truth, interviews, and information diving deep into the social and economic fabric of our times exposing the fraud and corruption of our economic system like no one has done to such depths before. His movie, THE CON, makes the Oscar winning films “The Inside Job” and “The Big Short” look like they only scratched the surface.

My project was my acclaimed book, Quantum of Justice, which is a detailed look at the fraud of foreclosures and the illegal securitization of notes by Wall Street. I asked Patrick if he would write the Foreword to my book, to which he agreed. You can read through that here and scroll down to the Foreword.

We’ve been discussing the economic collapse of 2008, fraud and systemic corruption. Our calls usually last for hours and span the gamut of new uncovered information about our causes or perhaps the political and social issues of the day.

In this interview we discuss the depth of illegalities made by The Federal Reserve Bank and their use of, or rather, misuse and bastardization of The Federal Reserve Act Section 13(3). The FED has now been using as a practice of being the only lender of resort to all of Wall Street, rather than the lender of last resort for Wall Street. They have been doing this by bypassing Congress and any oversight committees that are to be in place. The mass media states that the national debt of the United States is at $31T. However, that real number is dramatically higher than this due to the most recent practices of The FED and their corrupt use of their lending power without Congressional review, oversight, or demand. Wall Street has fully taken over the money printing machine.

Patrick Lovell’s “Truthbombs” and other messages are found throughout social media. On Tik Tok he has accumulated millions of views. You can also can find Patrick Lovell on YouTube, Spotify, Amazon, Real Progressives, Facebook, Twitter and more.

Upon the Aug. 2020 release of his acclaimed 5 part documentary film, THE CON, The Hollywood Reporter said, “The five-parter comes from writer/director Eric Vaughan, producer Patrick Lovell and executive producer Adam Bronfman as it exposes fraudulent practices like the home loan mortgage crisis; massive credit card debt, student loans and auto loans; and the revolving door between finance and government that colored the 2008 crisis.

“That financial meltdown just over a decade ago continues to resonate in U.S. politics for the billions of dollars in government bailouts that were handed out to companies deemed “too big to fail,” including insurance giant American International Group Inc and automaker General Motors.

“We went into this expecting to create an in-depth feature documentary about the causes and effects of 2008, but once we started piecing the story together it became apparent that the story was far too big for one ninety-minute feature. The Con is a culmination of six years of work putting together the entire true story of the Great Financial Crisis and how the corrosive energy of the forces at work imperil us to this very day,” Vaughan and Lovell said in their own statement.”
