Stan, here's a couple of links offering counter arguments
against Ellen Brown in Web of Debt by Gary North
Ellen Brown has thrown in the towel. She is no longer willing to argue with me. I finished my critique of her on November 17, 2010. On November 20, she publicly switched sides. She came out in favor of Bernanke, the Federal Reserve System, and quantitative easing.
Hard to believe? Read it here:
Ellen Brown Switches Sides, Praises Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, and Calls QE2 the FEDs Self-Redemption. I spent almost 200 hours over a two-month period refuting this left-wing lawyer, line by line. I said repeatedly that she is intellectually unreliable. She has just proved my case. She has joined the Federal Reserve's cheeleaders.
On November 24, 2010, she followed up with a long article in praise of quantitative easing. She said
quantitative easing is the Populist solution. It took me 52 articles and 30 responses, but I finally flushed her out.
Therefore, the following is ancient history. Here is what this department originally said.
Ellen Brown's Web of Debt Is an Anti-Gold Currency, Pro-Fiat Money, Greenback, Keynesian Tract. Here, I Take It Apart, Error by Error

Ellen Brown is a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to settle a case when they are losing. Brown just settled with me.
She has just switched sides. Instead of becoming an Austrian School critic of the Federal Reserve, she has become its cheerleader.
This is Bernanke's loss and the Tea Party's gain.
In my criticism, I kept saying that she is a leftist. She wants a welfare State funded by zero-interest loans from the government. She wants a big Federal government. She does not care how we get it. Now that the FED will inflate enough to pay for it, she has switched sides.
Her primary commitment was always to the welfare State, not the battle against the FED.
In my detailed critique of her economics, I made it clear that she was never a conservative. Now she proves it. She praises Bernanke and the FED. She says that QE2 is not fiat helicopter money, and that Bernanke is not "Helicopter Ben," which he obviously is.
Hard to believe? Let me quote her.
Ellen Brown Switches Sides, Praises Bernanke and the Federal Reserve, and Calls QE2 the FED's Self-Redemption.
To my knowledge the book isn't available locally (AU), but is from
abebooks, amazon & ebay.
