To many, this move by Time Magazine is a blatantly transparent attempt by the financial establishment to prop up one of their most valued frontmen. Of course most of us know by now that some of the same financial interests that are behind the Federal Reserve are also behind Time Magazine. Can anyone say “conflict of interest”?
