The Federal Reserve is robbing us blind.

[TheTman]

Thomas Jefferson said: "If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered...I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies... The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

I believe he was right, and that "The Fed" has literally robbed this country of it's wealth. And distributed it to it's Bankster allies. I would bet that there is nothing in the vaults at Ft. Knox but cobwebs. They have refused all attempts by Countries and States to view or reclaim the Gold they have deposited their for safekeeping. Germany was recently denied it's request to simply view that their Gold they had deposited with us was still there. I believe Texas wanted to remove it's Gold deposits, and bring it back to Texas, and was denied. I think Germany and Texas were denied their requests, because Fr. Knox is empty, or at least holds much less than it should.

I urge everyone to sign the petitions to Audit the Fed, and then End it. It was just another Rothschild scheme to separate us from our money. And had the Federal Reserve act was passed under very shady circumstances, most of congress had left Washington for Christmas break, but enough of Woodrow Wilson's and the Bankster's cronies stayed in town, to open both houses of Congress, and pass the Federal Reserve Act, then send it to Wilson to sign into Law, all while most of Congress was on Christmas break. Later in his life Wilson deeply regretted his actions, stating he had "destroyed" his country, but it was too late then.
The policies of "The Fed" lengthened the Great Depression for much longer than it should have lasted. There was a depression in the years after WWI, that lasted but a relatively short time, due to there being no "Fed" to muck it up and make it worse. Instead, the Great Depression was a time where the rich got MUCH richer, while the average person was left to suffer and get by the best they could. The rich bought up many stocks and securities at bargain prices, and made tremendous gains once the stock market recovered. They had plenty of money to get through the Depression, they were not panicked in the least. Instead they did what they could to keep the financial situation uncertain, so they could snatch up as many bargains as they could. World War II eventually snapped us out of the depression, I wonder how long it would have lasted if the war had not started. Many think they are about to cause another depression, a little adjustment of Interest rates, has dramatic effects on Wall Street, and in world of Big Business and High Finance. And then WWIII will start in earnest and end this latest depression. While the Banksters make a fortune selling munitions and supplies to all sides of the war, like they have done in previous wars, for many years. Even back to the War of Northern Aggression, and possibly the Revolutionary War, and the French Revolution.

Iceland at least had the courage to kick it's corrupt government out of office, and put the most corrupt ones in Prison, and told the Rothschild Banksters to go to hell, that they weren't paying them squat. They formed a new more honest government, and freed themselves from the Bankster's tentacles, all without shedding one drop of blood.

Here, where the government is supposed to fear it's citizens, they have turned things around to where the citizens fear the government. Something needs to be done about this situation. I think first of all, the States need to start exercising their rights and powers, instead of folding to the demands of the federal government. And take back all the powers that the federal government has grabbed through agencies like the EPA, OSHA, IRS, and the other "alphabet" agencies. Article 10 of the Constitution reads:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

The states need to quit letting the federal govt. black mail them by withholding funds for whatever projects, and take their power back. Or things are only going to get worse, and we will end up with a dictator. Some states are starting to flex their muscles a little, Oklahoma has done several things the federal government said they couldn't do, but they went ahead and did them. Now if we can get the other states to follow suit and take the power back from the Feds and the Banksters, I think life would get a lot better for the average person. And get rid of some of the alphabet agencies, that makes things worse about as often as they improve anything. Like the EPA, whos policies have made the forest fires much worse by not letting the old dead timber be cleared, and instead act as fuel for the fires.

Something needs to be done to make this country great again. To create jobs, and build the economy back up. To keep companies from moving operations offshore where they pay cheaper taxes and labor. Maybe make the tariffs on goods they import that it's cheaper to build things here. I don't know, but there is no way we should be over 18 Trillion in debt. I don't expect the federal government to turn things around, especially with Obama pretending to be President. And Lord help us if Hillary somehow gets in. And appoints Bill as ambassador to the UN. That is too much power for one couple to yield. Especially if Bill were able to become the Head of the UN.

The Federal Reserve is not even part of the Federal Government, it is "The Central Bank".....If you give a bunch of banksters a printing press and say go at it boys print all the money you want to, what do you think would happen????.....Well it did and we are 18 Trillion in debt.....What in the he!! were they thinking????

As far as the vaults at Ft. Knox are concerned, there's something in there alright.....It's where they store the smoke and mirrors that keeps this sham going....

[JohnR]

All right, we end the Fed. Then what do we do?

[muggsy]

Live long and prosper?

Texas to issue it's own precious metal backed currency.

We do like they did before we had a Central Bank. We print our own currency, hopefully backed by Gold and Silver. We have a Treasury Department, they will take over the printing and issuing of currency. If they charge interest on what they loan to banks, that interest will go back to the Treasury Department, and not a den of Rothschild Bankster thieves. The USA did quite well for 150 years or so without a privately owned central bank issuing our currency. We can do it again. It will also free us from any blackmail attempts by the "The Fed". No more do this, or we'll raise interest rates and plunge the US into a recession. I don't know if or how often this happens, but I imagine it does, behind closed doors in absolute secrecy. People that have that kind of power, are apt to use it to get what they want.

Perhaps that is the reason we invaded Afghanistan, because the European banks were suffering due to lack of drug money being deposited. The Taliban had virtually eliminated opium poppy cultivation and thus there was no opium to process into heroin for the drug lords, and they had no money to deposit. Invading Afghanistan was pretty stupid when you look at it objectively. No country has every really conquered Afghanistan, They just hide out in the hills until the army leaves. No foreign country has ever been able to impose it's will on Afghanistan, or change it in any way that lasts once the conquering army leaves. And when we leave, it will revert back to much the same as it was before we entered. I bet the Russians are laughing their butts off at us trying to bring "Democracy" and lasting changes to the Afghani's. The main thing is that the poppy fields have had very good harvests the last few years since we invaded, the European banks are happy to be full of freshly laundered drug money and all is well. Some war on drugs huh? We guard the poppy fields so that the drug lords can make the heroin, the CIA probably helps import it into the inner cities, then we bust Joe Addict for using what we've worked so hard to make available. Doesn't make much sense to me, when we could stop them from growing poppies, probably just as well as the Taliban did. Use drones and satellites to find the fields, the hose them down with Round-up. No poppies, no heroin. But that's not what the Banksters want. They want that drug money deposited in their banks. Why are we even still there? Bin Laden's dead. We've done about as much as we can do. The Taliban is going to come out of the hills and attack then go back and hide in the hills or in Pakistan. I would think we'd get tired of this cat and mouse game. I guess we can leave when the Banksters tell us we can.

Texas has recently signed a bill to create it's own gold backed currency. They are taking their gold out of a depository in New York, and taking it back to Texas. They then plan to issue Gold backed currency. They are able to get their gold, because it's not stored in a Federal Reserve Bank.
This tells more about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqU4wWsRWNo There are a lot of other articles on it if you Google it. I guess they signed the bill back in June, but I never heard anything about it until I ran across something today.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. What will the Rothschilds/Banksters have us do about this? Are we going to go to war with Texas? Will we place sanctions on them?

Something like that was the reason we killed Kaddafi, and turned Libya into the hell hole it is now, with different groups fighting for power. He was planning on issuing the gold backed Denali, and getting the other muslim nations to use that as their currency, so like good little minions of the Rothschild Banksters, we killed Kaddafi and laid waste to his country. We took the nation that had the highest standard of living in North Africa with free education at all levels for his citizens, and I think free medical care and a generally a good place to live for it's citizens, and turned it into a hell hole, over the concerns of the Rothschilds and their Bankster pals. At the time, Kaddafi was fully cooperating with any demands the US placed on him, And doing everything we asked of him, yet when he announced plans for his gold backed Denali currency, he suddenly became our number 1 enemy and had to be terminated.
JFK had issued and executive order reducing "The Feds" power over our currency. He was dead a short time later. One of the first official acts by LBJ as President, was to rescind that executive order. Strange how if you mess with the Banksters, you end up dead.

Hmm... "We're from the government, and we're here to help you not be robbed by a mysterious, nefarious, shadowy banking enterprise."

What will prevent politicians from abusing it for their own personal gain? In other words, why exchange one corrupt sustem for another corrupt system?

[Armybrat]

The last good Democrat, Andy Jackson, had no use for such a bank, so he killed the first one.

[TheTman]

Well for one thing, if it was the Treasury Department issuing and controlling the currency, they would be subject to regulation and audits. And I think their would be more control of then under the federal government. Their books would be available to audit anytime. Hopefully that would keep them honest and keep crooked politicians from embezzling funds We can't even audit the Federal Reserve, let alone make them show where the money goes. They are very secretive, which makes most people suspicious. Any private corporation with that much power, that won't allow us to audit them make one wonder what they are up too. I don't know how they get away with refusing to be audited, must be in the Federal Reserve Act.
The main thing is it would keep the banksters from robbing the American People, and making the Rothschilds/banksters any richer. Those fat cats control about 80% of the free world's wealth as it is. And their policies give them too much blackmail ability over the federal government. A threat to raise interest rates and cause inflation or a depression is a very serious threat. They should have never been created, and they need to be ended. The way they were created should tell you that they never would have been in existence, except for the trickery of Woodrow Wilson and some cronies in Congress.

All right, we end the Fed. Then what do we do?

"(Milton) Friedman was in favor of abolishing the Federal Reserve System and replacing it with a mathematical model that would keep the quantity of money increasing at a steady rate, issued directly by the government (Treasury) and ending fractional reserve banking powers for the banks, which is why he supported our Monetary Reform Act. He said he actually would “like to abolish the Fed“, and pointed out that when he wrote about reforming the Fed it was simply his recommendations of how it should be run given that it exists. Though opposed to the existence of the Fed, Friedman argued that, given that it does exist, a steady expansion of the money supply was the only wise policy, and he warned against efforts by a treasury or central bank such as the Fed to do otherwise."

The key word in this passage is "steady" with no ability to be manipulated by a few people in control of a central bank or anyone else.

[JohnR]

I still see NO reason to trust government.

[b4uqzme]

Ironically, the Fed is a private enterprise...the one that I too do not trust as far as I can throw them.

[Armybrat]

Since the Fed management board is appointed by the president, I consider it a government partnership enterprise, kind of like "Letters of Marque" issued by 18th century governments allowed legalized piracy.
