I really don't need to see this video to know that America don't need the federal reserve. The Federal Reserve is the real reason why the U.S. is so much debt. The more money they make for us, the deeper in debt we go into. I also believe they are the ones that had JFK assassinated, because he started having the U.S. print our own money backed up with silver. He had over 4 billion dollars in circulation before he was assassinated. After 5 or 6 months, all of the silver certificates were recalled and the Federal reserve notes were back in circulation. The Federal Reserve is not run by the U.S., it is run by 12 central banks in Europe.

    The Federal Reserve is the Financial Institution our forefather's warned us about. They have manipulated the economy and paid for too many politicans for too long. We need to go back to using Gold and Silver that is issued by the National Treasury. Paper is worthless.

    Not only do we not need it, we need to be vocal about getting rid of it.
  • raves +1   [-] Freedomwatcher replied to dean
    Absolutely!
  • raves +2   [-] 57girl replied to dean
    United we stand here .... Although, I suspect once the dollar fails, they will try to introduce the Amero and complicate things more. We should have never let the Government and the private bankers have so much control. Honestly, I try to barter whenever possible.

    It may go straight to global paperless money. We have the technology now and that's what they all want. If they can crash the global market that will be their solution. We'll see, now that there has been a little confidencein the market this week, maybe the Fed wil be content with what they can pilfer from the bailout money.

    Most of these donkey lemmings don't even realize that the Fed is nothing but a credit union on steroids. There's a reason why the Jeffersonians and Jacksonians fought the first centralized banks, but these bolshevik Obamaniac types don;t get it that 100 years ago, we were one of the wealthiest nations, and we didn't have the fed or an income tax, or any of this free-trade nonsense.

    We have our gold and silver, that doesn't bear interest, we have our Republic and it's Constitution that protect our freedom and liberty, we have our mighty military that defends it all, we have the most advanced technology in the world. What do we need the FED for? Stealing it all?

    Not only is the Federal Reserve wholly unnecessary to facilitate the availability of United States currency, but it is also blatantly Unconstitutional under Article 1: Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, which reads, "Congress shall have the power to coin money [and] regulate the value thereof."

    It has been the most disastrous misadventure on which the U.S. economy has ever embarked, and has been, along with the removal of the dollar from asset-backed standards, the greatest unseen factor in the continually diminished purchasing power of our currency.

    If you still labor under the delusion that America needs monetary "liquidity" as only an outsourced private banking cartel can provide, please consider reading G. Edward Griffin's user-friendly and fun-to-read treatise on the subject: "The Creature from Jekyll Island."

    Considering any money in it doesn't belong to America, probably not.

    The fed reserve is the gold that backs up our currancy.
  • raves +1   [-] Freedomwatcher replied to allenberg
    The Gold? I think you mean they are the ones who print our currency out of thin air.. Where is the gold that backs up our currency?

  • raves     [-] Freedomwatcher replied to allenberg
    Okay... I hate Obama as much as I do McCain. Do you still think we are on the gold standard? Please prove to me that the Fed is the gold that backs up our currency. Prove it!

    Our currency isn't backed by gold anymore, it is legal tender.

    That is one of the most ignorant , uninformed responses I've ever heard, allenberg.
  • raves +1   [-] 57girl replied to allenberg
    You are confused. You need to watch the entire series of "Money Masters" ..... the Federal Reserve is a thief in the night that has been robbing America blind since 1913. The sooner we get rid of it, the sooner we will start building our Nation's strength again ... if it is not too late, short another Revolution.

    This bill, H.R. 2755 (Federal Reserve Abolishment Act), needs a sponsor. It was introduced by Ron Paul in June 2007 and sent to committee.

    If you have a Republican rep, please contact him/her and ask them to sponsor this bill.

    What "Terry ~NObama~ has said is true!

    Holy crap man! Why haven't i heard of this before. I have heard that our money is based on debt, but i hadind no idea the Federal Reserve was behind it.
    I'm going to speak with my dad and try to get him to take some measures, such as investing in gold or other uninflatable valueable item. That way, whan the dolar crashes, we'll have something to get us through. I might also get him to store food and water somewhere. It may also be a good idea to go to a currency exchange place and replace some of our dolars with euros and other currencies. Just enough to get us through when the dolar falls. Do you think this is a good idea?

    I have been trading my Federal Reserve notes in for real Gold and Silver, because when the dollar does crash, I will have real money in my hand to barter with.

    The government instills fear into the people to make them more malleable.

    Few things shock me anymore, I'm sad to say. However, Monday, September 29, 2008, was something to behold. Not only didn't the insidious "bail out" pass in the U.S. House of Representatives, but a substantial number of Americans put up such a ruckus, it had to have had a very chilling effect on the shadow government. As I watched the DOW tank to -777, I wondered why the Bush Administration's PPT (Plunge Protection Team) didn't step in and stop the dive. It occurred to me why the money cartel may have decided not to intervene. The American people would come home from work, already worried about the economy, see the stock market had tanked big time and panic.

    Immediately following the vote, all the finger pointing began with what can only be described as behavior attributable to kindergartners. Pelosi went on record saying the Democrats would not pass this "end of the world legislation" unless they got "cover" from a bipartisan vote with a large enough number of Republicans. I kid you not, that's what this flaky female upchucked. Not to be outdone, millions by now have seen Republicans respond to allegations that some of them voted against the bill because of Pelosi's ra...

    Both sides began a propaganda campaign, aided and abetted by fact challenged media and cable news network hot shots like Bill O'Reilly and McCain pimp, Sean Hannity. Nazi Minister of Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, must be cackling from Hell. The mantra took on a form and text that has been virtually unchanged for three days as I write this column; it has been repeated by Obama and McCain shamelessly. As I write this, Obama is on the senate floor spewing the same propaganda: If this rescue plan doesn't get passed, small employers won't be able to make payroll on Friday. College students won't be able to pay tuition. Businesses can't borrow. Americans won't be able to buy a car or home. Commerce will stop. These key sentences have been repeated over and over and over.

    Yes, it is a very good idea! That's why people have been buying gold jewelry from those dufus' that are willing to sell it. They get fiat currency in return from for the real article - gold! You've probably seen the ads on TV.
