Some thoughts on the "Chicago School of Economics" post and graphic I see in the notables:

 

Anons should keep in mind that Rockefeller and their globalist cohorts pumped lots of money into free market schools, libertarian groups and thinktanks, and conservative foundations. One should take note that these same benefactors were also supporting many socialist, technocratic, and outright communist endeavors and groups/academics, and fronting conservative and libertarian thinkers was largely a misdirection: a cover to hide their machinations towards world government.

 

While it's unfortunate that too many members of the Chicago School fell into supporting things like the fed, many did not and called for its end (Thomas Sowell being one)…however, the graphic shows Austrian economists such as Ludwig Von Mises as a member of this group, and he was largely shunned by the academic community for his radical opposition to central banking and crony capitalism in general, which is why he was never awarded a full-on teaching position. Mises stood as the nearly the lone detractor during the 1920s and 30s as the entire academic world embraced socialism.

 

In any case, it would be erroneous to view the academics themselves as anything more than pawns. The support from the global elite certainly did allow some to rise to the top, but that not should discredit individual economists or their views, since it should be fairly obvious there were those who sacrificed their entire careers, and in some cases credibility, by standing opposed to the economic machinations of the globalists, biting the hand that fed them.
