Jerome Powell, the current Chair of the Federal Reserve, is now under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice for alleged perjury tied to his congressional testimony last June. The probe, initiated by the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C.—led by none other than Trump ally and former Fox News pitbull Jeanine Pirro—centers around a renovation project at the Fed’s headquarters.
But let’s not kid ourselves. This investigation has nothing to do with drywall or paint costs. It’s political warfare disguised as legal accountability. The real goal? Control the money spigot.
Former Fed Chairs Panic Over Trump’s Power Grab
In a rare show of unity, a lineup of economic overlords—Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen, Alan Greenspan, and other architects of debt serfdom—issued a statement condemning the DOJ’s move as a “prosecutorial attack” that threatens the so-called independence of the Federal Reserve.
“This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions,” they moaned.
Translation? “This is what happens when someone tries to take our toys away.”
But here’s the rub: the Federal Reserve was never independent. It’s always been a private banking cartel masquerading as a public institution. What these insiders fear isn’t the loss of independence—it’s the loss of monopoly.
Senator Thom Tillis Throws a Wrench in Trump’s Fed Takeover
Here’s where things get spicy.
Republican Senator Thom Tillis, no stranger to Trump loyalty, has come out swinging against the administration. He’s vowed to block any Trump Fed nominees, including the upcoming appointment for Fed Chair, until the legal dust settles around Powell.
This pits Trump against members of his own party in a battle for Fed control. With the Senate Banking Committee already razor-thin on votes, even one defection like Tillis could deadlock the process.
What we’re witnessing is a blood feud over who gets to flip the switch on the financial machinery that fuels the empire.
Powell Fights Back: “This Is a Political Purge”
Powell himself issued a statement alleging that the investigation is just a pretext—an excuse to purge him and install a Trump loyalist before his term ends in May 2026. And he’s not wrong.
This is a hostile takeover of the central bank. And if successful, it opens the floodgates for programmable money, direct White House manipulation of monetary policy, and a Fed that answers not to markets or even the public—but to a single administration.
If that doesn’t sound like a warm-up for a central bank digital currency (CBDC) rollout under authoritarian control, I don’t know what does.
Trump’s Endgame: Interest Rate Puppetry and Political Cash Flow
Let’s not forget Trump’s long-standing feud with Powell.
He’s spent years lambasting the Fed for not slashing interest rates fast enough. Now, with an election looming and economic storm clouds gathering, Trump wants a Fed that will flood the economy with cheap money—not for your benefit, but for his polling numbers.
This isn’t about economic growth. It’s about debt-fueled optics. Lower rates juice markets, prop up asset bubbles, and create the illusion of prosperity right before the rug gets yanked.
Why This Matters: The Fed Is Now a Weapon—and You're the Target
This goes way beyond Powell or Trump. What we’re seeing is the final stage of a long-term agenda: turn the Federal Reserve into a programmable money machine under direct political control.
- FedNow is already online.
- CBDCs are next.
- And now, the White House wants to appoint its own central bank puppets to run the show.
Once the Fed is weaponized, your money becomes a tool of compliance.
Spend it wrong? Frozen.
Say the wrong thing? Denied.
Donate to the wrong cause? Flagged.
This is financial warfare, and most people don’t even realize they’re on the battlefield.
The Illusion of Independence Is Dead
Both sides—Trump’s populists and the establishment technocrats—are battling for control of the same beast. But nobody’s fighting to dismantle it. That’s the problem.
As an anarcho-libertarian, I don’t cheer for tyrant A over tyrant B.
I want the Fed torn down, the monetary monopoly ended, and power restored to decentralized, people-driven money.
Because here’s the truth: whether it’s Powell’s Fed or Trump’s Fed, you don’t own your money until the system collapses and is replaced with something that can’t be hijacked.
