America Without a Middle Class

Commented Dec 02, 2009 at 20:51:11 in Politics

“This was preplanned by the international elitie to put Americans in so much debt they are slaves. The Federal Reserve is their conduit to make sure it happens.”

Federal Reserve Debates A Bubble-Popping Strategy

Commented Dec 02, 2009 at 10:42:45 in Business

“The Fed is behind all of the bubbles and busts.

Why the opposition to a central bank?

Americans at the time knew of the destruction to the economy the European central banks had caused to their respective countries and to countries who became their debtors. They saw the large- scale government deficit spending and debt creation that occurred in Europe.

The bold effort the present bank has made to control the government, the distress it had wantonly produced..­.are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it.

But European financial moguls didn't rest until the New World was within their orbit. In 1902, Paul Warburg, a friend and associate of the Rothschilds and an expert on European central banking, came to this country as a partner in Kuhn, Loeb and Company. He married the daughter of Solomon Loeb, one of the founders of the firm. The head of Kuhn, Loeb was Jacob Schiff, whose gift of $20 million in gold to the struggling Russian communists in 1917 no doubt saved their revolution.

The Fed controls the banking system in the USA, not the Congress nor the people indirectly (as the Constitution dictates). The U.S. central bank strategy is a product of European banking interests.”

“Send him down to the capitol basement to sort recyclables from the trash with his buddy Lieberman. He doesn't deserve committee chair status if he can't find it in himself to grow a spine.”

“Let's face it, this country needs sincere changes in the rules of the Senate. We should not be in a situation where a few Senators, primarily from small, backward states should be able to thwart the best interests of this country. The filibuster should be expunged. Put it on a national referendum and get rid of it. Majority across the nation counts. Then, the Ben Nelsons of this country could not, representing a tiny portion of the electorate, hold the country hostage.

The Senators who are causing problems on this represent states which only have one third of the population of this country, and they are holding the rest hostage. Each state has two Senators, whatever their size, and that should be all the power that they should hold. Get rid of the filibuster. It is not a law, but an archaic tradition of the Senate.”

“The name Federal Reserve was a ruse.

At Jekyll Island, the true draftsman for the Federal Reserve was Paul Warburg. The plan was simple. The new central bank could not be called a central bank because America did not want one, so it had to be given a deceptive name. Ostensibly, the bank was to be controlled by Congress, but a majority of its members were to be selected by the private banks that would own its stock.

To keep the public from thinking that the Federal Reserve would be controlled from New York, a system of twelve regional banks was designed. Given the concentration of money and credit in New York, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York controlled the system, making the regional concept initially nothing but a ruse.

The board and chairman were to be selected by the President, but in the words of Colonel Edward House, the board would serve such a term as to "put them out of the power of the President.­" The power over the creation of money was to be taken from the people and placed in the hands of private bankers who could expand or contract credit as they felt best suited their needs.”

“We need to watch who votes for Bernanke in the hearings on his renomination starting tomorrow. Support Grayson/Paul's bill to audit the Fed. Anyone who votes for the Federal Reserve Chairman votes for the status quo and votes against the American people.”

“But Bernanke is owned by the banks. The Fed is an entity created by rich men in secret to take over our money supply. Woodrow Wilson knew he had made a terrible mistake when he signed the Federal Reserve Act. There should be no Federal Reserve Chairman in the future.”

“Alan Grayson and Ron Paul have asked that Bernanke renomination hearing be put off until after the audit. I think most senators realize there have been "dicey" deals done behind closed doors. If I were a senator, I would want to put off the hearing until there are more answers.”

Good Bye! The Reappointment Of Bernanke Is Too Much To Bear

Commented Dec 01, 2009 at 08:57:07 in Business

“Received this from Ron Paul this morning.

The Fed and US Treasury have perniciously doled out trillions in subsidized loans to troubled banks and other financial institutions, and that number is growing through a revolving TARP slush fund which the Feds are using to bail out their huge corporate buddies. The Federal Reserve and Treasury constantly brag about the need for "transparency" and "oversight," but it's all just talk — they want none of it. They want secrecy while the privileged are rescued at the expense of the middle class.

It is unimaginable that Congress could be so derelict in its duty. It does nothing but condone the arrogance of the Fed in its refusal to tell us where the trillions in bailout money have gone. All Members of Congress should be outraged that conditions could deteriorate to this degree. It's no wonder that a large and growing number of Americans are now demanding an end to the Fed.

We need to get rid of the Fed and all of its banker buddies.”

“I soooo agree, and hope you mean in general and not some attempt at third grade insults towards Palin or Republicans like most posters here.

In Detroit when they were asking the people in line about the money they will get from Obama, and none of them knew or cared that all they knew it was from his stash.
The government runs the schools, and the unions run the teachers, and now we have more importance on two mommies and less importance on reading writing arithmetic.
The sad thing is that lack of education is the best way to control people.”

The End of 'Too Big to Fail'

“I agree that America is closer to revolution than Kanjorski thinks. Marie Antoinette has been replaced by the international bankers - same greed and not listening to what is going on outside their doors. Same thing that happened in Russia. The Czar's ministers were begging him to enact reforms, but he ignored them to his peril.

Get Geithner out. He is the banking patsy and would bail them out again and again. Same with Summers and Bernanke.”
