Kevin Freeman talks with Frank Gaffney about the impact of the Economic War we are facing from both domestic and foreign forces.
The Economic War Room

The Economic War Room monitors critical pressure points on an ongoing basis. We report who, what, when, where, and why they will impact you. More importantly, we bring in top experts to help you understand and respond to the threats they pose and how you can respond!What People Are Saying About Kevin Freeman:

“Kevin Freeman understands the threat of financial terrorism as well as anyone. You’d have to be negligent to ignore his timely advice about protecting your family from the economic attacks that are clearly on the horizon.”

—FRANK KEATING,
Retired President and CEO, American Bankers Association, former governor of Oklahoma

“Along with the Internet our markets, banks, and other financial systems are vital institutions that are far more vulnerable to complete disruption than we would hope, especially to carefully-planned intervenors with the opportunity, motive, and means to, say, bring down the dollar. Freeman explains persuasively and clearly why we may be beginning the third act of a monetary and fiscal tragedy. You don’t care about dark pools, huge Middle-Eastern sovereign wealth funds, naked short selling, and bear runs? I’m afraid you will, and rather soon.”

—R JAMES WOOLSEY
Chairman of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former Director of Central Intelligence

Shortly after Reagan was sworn in for his second term, he appointed Keating to serve as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and later elevated him to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Associate_Attorney_General">United States Associate Attorney General</a>, the third ranking official within the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Justice">United States Department of Justice</a>. These appointments made Keating the highest ranking Oklahoman during the Reagan administration. In his positions as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and Associate Attorney General, Keating oversaw both the Justice and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_the_Treasury" title="United States Department of the Treasury">Treasury</a> departments’ law enforcement agencies. These included the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Customs_Service">United States Customs Service</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Alcohol,Tobacco,Firearms_and_Explosives" title="Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives">Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Law_Enforcement_Training_Center">Federal Law Enforcement Training Center</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Bureau_of_Prisons">Federal Bureau of Prisons</a>, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Marshals" class="mw-redirect" title="United States Marshals">United States Marshals</a> service, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_and_Naturalization_Service">Immigration and Naturalization Service</a>, all 94 United States Attorneys, the United States role in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpol">Interpol</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Secret_Service">United States Secret Service</a>.

Following the election of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_H.W._Bush" class="mw-redirect" title="George H.W. Bush">George H.W. Bush</a> as President in 1988, Keating continued to serve in the Justice Department in his role as Associate Attorney General. President Bush elevated Keating in 1990 to General Counsel and Acting Deputy Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, that Department’s second highest office, under Secretary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kemp">Jack Kemp</a>. He would serve as the Deputy Secretary until 1993. As with the case of the Reagan administration, Keating became the highest ranking Oklahoman in the federal government under Bush.

On November 14, 1991, Bush nominated Keating to a seat on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Court_of_Appeals_for_the_Tenth_Circuit" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit">U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit</a>, but with Democrats controlling the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S.Senate_Judiciary_Committee" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee">U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee</a>, Keating's nomination languished, and no hearing was held before Bush's presidency ended. President <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton">Bill Clinton</a> chose not to renominate Keating to the seat.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Keating#cite_note-0">[1]</a>

After over a decade of service to the federal government, Keating returned home to Oklahoma.

But while state capitals are fine, they can't substitute for the trillion-dollar charms of Washington, D.C. Republicans understandably lusted for national power. The much-touted governors loved their work in the states so much that they begged for jobs inside the Beltway. (Besides the three governors who landed in the Cabinet, Govs. Mark Racicot, Frank Keating, and Tom Ridge, among others, hoped for top administration jobs.)

BS bio

Frank Keating (<a href="https://www.aba.com/aba/documents/press/frankkeating_300dpi.jpg" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: none;">hi-res photo</a>) is president and CEO of the American Bankers Association. The ABA is a 135 year old association that represents banks of all sizes and charters and is the voice for the nation’s $13 trillion banking industry and its two million employees.

Keating became ABA’s president and CEO on January 1, 2011, following seven years of service as the president and CEO of the American Council of Life Insurers, and after serving two terms as Oklahoma’s 25th governor.

Born in St. Louis in 1944, Frank grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a law degree from the University of Oklahoma. His 30-year career in law enforcement and public service included stints as an FBI agent; U.S. Attorney and state prosecutor; and Oklahoma House and Senate member.

He served Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the Treasury, Justice, and Housing departments. His Justice and Treasury service gave him responsibility for all federal criminal prosecutions in the nation and oversight over agencies such as the Secret Service, U.S. Customs, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, U.S. Marshals, the Bureau of Prisons, and the Immigration and Naturalization Service and all 94 U.S. Attorneys.

As assistant secretary of Treasury and general counsel and acting deputy secretary of HUD, Keating worked on banking issues that are demanding attention today – including housing finance, lending practices, securitization and Bank Secrecy Act issues.

In 1993 Keating returned to Oklahoma to run for Governor. He won a three-way race by a landslide and was easily reelected in 1998, becoming only the second governor in Oklahoma history to serve two consecutive terms.

As the governor of Oklahoma, Keating won national acclaim in 1995 for his compassionate and professional handling of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal building in Oklahoma City. In the aftermath of the tragedy, he raised more than six million dollars to fund scholarships for the nearly 200 children left with only one or no parents. His accomplishments as Governor include winning a public vote on right-to-work, tort reform, tax cuts, major road building, and education reform.

Keating recently served on the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Debt Reduction Task Force, a group of former cabinet members, elected officials and key stakeholders of both parties that recommended a series of tough measures to address the nation’s fiscal challenges.  He is chairman of the Advisory Board of George Washington’s Mount Vernon and serves on the boards of the National Archives, the Jamestown Foundation and the Bipartisan Policy Center.

He is seen and heard frequently on national news programs as a commentator on a wide variety of topics. Keating also is the author of four award-winning children's books, biographies of Will Rogers, Theodore Roosevelt, George Washington and Standing Bear, the Ponca Indian chief who argued Native Americans deserve the same rights as white Americans. He is the recipient of six honorary degrees.
