Great video of congressman Ron Paul explaining — in plain English — the Federal Reserve to CNBC’s Erin Burnett. If America needs an example of how their elected officials should behave, this video is a good start:
America: It’s Time To Leave Both Parties
If you are a democrat or republican, it’s time to ask yourself some tough questions. In the last twenty years — under the leadership of democrats and republicans — Americans have been dragged through recessions, bubbles, and endless wars that were never constitutionally declared or in the best interest of the people.
Both parties have failed to serve America and protect the U.S. Constitution. We deferred our responsibility to maintain a moral government to corrupt politicians and showbiz politics. We were bamboozled by the spin and image of both parties.
Ultimately, it is we the people who must pay for the recklessness of D.C. politics in the form of decreased purchasing power, freedom, and liberty. Is this what you stand for as an American? The “real war” is right here at home and we’re losing to incompetent and corrupt politicians we’ve allowed to lead us.
We have reached a critical juncture in America’s history. The problems we face cannot be solved by the current crop of “leaders” or voting for the same people each election. We must think openly and rationally about the damage both parties have done to our beloved country. Our job as citizens does not end at the voting booth — that’s only the start of it.
Democrats and republicans in Washington have given Americans plenty of reasons to defect and chart a new course in American politics. The leaders of both parties have had ample time to prove their love for America. Instead, they chose to give us a whopping $12 Trillion debt and a $2 Trillion war.
Are the policies and actions of your elected officials acceptable to you?
If you care anything about your country, leave your party, or prolong the pain we’ve yet to experience.
Bloomberg Wins Federal Reserve Transparency Suit
Unprecedented development here, America! The Federal Reserve has just LOST an UNPRECEDENTED suit to Bloomberg to disclose detailed records regarding its response to the global recession — a crisis it’s largely responsible for. This is a big development and one which could open the door to full transparency and the ultimate dismantling of this unconstitutional institution.
Aug. 24 (Bloomberg) — The Federal Reserve must make records about emergency lending to financial institutions public within five days because it failed to convince a judge the documents should be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
Manhattan Chief U.S. District Judge Loretta Preska rejected the central bank’s argument that the records aren’t covered by the law because their disclosure would harm borrowers’ competitive positions. The collateral lists “are central to understanding and assessing the government’s response to the most cataclysmic financial crisis in America since the Great Depression,” according to the lawsuit that led to the ruling.
Wells Fargo: “Why is the Federal Reserve so secretive?”
When an employee of a major bank questions the secrecy and lack of transparency at the Federal Reserve, it’s time for all of America to do the same. The screen capture below is a search query performed today from within Wells Fargo. I’m pleased to share this nugget of priceless information with you:
Federal Reserve Ignores Plea for Transparency During Recent Call
Update: Overwhelmed by the hundreds of downloads of this phone call — There are people who care about seeing an end to the Federal Reserve
Right or wrong, my plea for transparency at the Federal Reserve was ignored by Ben Bernanke’s office and its Office of Public Affairs during a recent call on March 5, 2009. In a series of calls I will share here on my blog, I want the American people to understand for themselves why Ron Paul and others are calling for transparency of the Fed to audit its books, policies, and more.
The Federal Reserve is a highly secretive organization that has orchestrated many of America’s darkest events in its history, including the Great Depression. More Americans need to be made aware of this sinister entity and the role it plays in modern day slavery — Yes, slavery!
