    Anonymous Targets the Federal Reserve

    cliffs:

    -Anonymous are helping expose private Central Banking, particularly the US Central Bank called the Federal Reserve
    -uploaded June 11, 2011
    -call for Ben Bernanke (Fed Chairman) to resign, he obviously didn't
    -they obviously now have the Fed in their sights. brb taking on Rothschilds.


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XySGw...ature=youtu.be

    “It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and money system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford, founder of the Ford Motor Company.

    And this isn't a conspiracy, it is a fact that we are all dominated by a money debt system. Ron Paul is and has for a long time been a supporter of ending the Fed.

    Let's get this straight right now.

    The people "who were most responsible for causing our economic crisis" were middle class Americans in search of the American dream -- the right to land, liberty, and the pursuit of property. That wasn't a typo, property was replaced by "happiness", as if the two are interchangeable.

    Sure you can blame the heads of the various i-banks who marketed the sale of sub-prime mortgages to a susceptible targeted demographic, and then virtually removed the risk of defaults on these loans by packaging MBS (mortgage backed securities) to trade on the derivatives market. You can even blame the regulators for allowing the i-bankers to target Americans who were spending beyong there means.

    BUT...the fact of the matter is, the American people who didn't give their due dilligence and blindly purchased these sub-prime mortgages are most at fault. The i-bankers weren't holding a gun to the American public's head forcing them to purchase homes. The American people were simply blindly spending beyond their means -- and for that they are at fault.

    I agree that the U.S. needs to find a solution to our national debt crisis, but to blame the global economic meltdown on the Federal Reserve is completely ludacris. In fact the Fed through the QE's (quantitative easings) is the only reason confidence returned to U.S. markets.

    The global economic crisis of 2008 was created by an uneducated population -- to avoid further crises everyone should exercise their civil duty to educate themselves in not only economics and finance...but also in something as simple as balancing a check book, creating a personal or family budget, etc.

    Fantastic post sir. I absolutely 100% agree with everything you said.

    Granted, the brokers taking advantage of targeted demographic sounds super good when they offering lowest mortgage rates in decades, but you're right. People should educate themselves.

    You guys need to expand your horizons. Name another first world country that doesn't have a central bank. The FED was created to provided liquidity into the system. Their other duties are to increase employment. Can not blame the FED for greed. When someone gives you low interest you borrow to capitalize not consume. Unfortunately our nation as a whole has failed in this respect. The FED is not a conspiracy but i would prefer if the market set the rates.

    We're so deep at this point, and the Fed has so much power, that we're pretty much fuked if we do and fuked if we don't. The only way to rid the country of the Fed would be to start killing in the streets, but that's not going to happen. The population doesn't have what it takes, me thinks...yet anyway.

    If the United States wasn't a republic then your post would have some validity, but because the U.S. is a republic then by definition the Federal Reserve is a public bank.

    7 FOMC members (Federal Open Market Committee) are appointed by the President of the United States, which also must pass through the Senate; referred to as the Board of Governors.

    5 FOMC members are the heads of various Fed banks around the U.S.

    As such, in the FOMC the "public" holds a majority vote, and it is the FOMC which is responsible for I guess what you could call in laymen's terms "controlling inflation and deflation" but that's really not the whole story.

    1st page,

    spot for sale. PM me for spot.
    Look me in the eye. It's okay if you are scared, so am I, but we are scared for different reasons. I am scared of what I willn't become, you are scared of what I could become. Look at me! I will not let myself end where I started, I will not let myself finish where I begin. I know what is within me, even if you can't see it yet. Look me in the eyes, I have something more important than courage, I have patience. I will become what I know I am.

    Sure you can blame the heads of the various i-banks who marketed the sale of sub-prime mortgages to a susceptible targeted demographic, and then virtually removed the risk of defaults on these loans by packaging MBS (mortgage backed securities) to trade on the derivatives market. You can even blame the regulators for allowing the i-bankers to target Americans who were spending beyong there means.

    BUT...the fact of the matter is, the American people who didn't give their due dilligence and blindly purchased these sub-prime mortgages are most at fault. The i-bankers weren't holding a gun to the American public's head forcing them to purchase homes. The American people were simply blindly spending beyond their means -- and for that they are at fault.

    I agree that the U.S. needs to find a solution to our national debt crisis, but to blame the global economic meltdown on the Federal Reserve is completely ludacris. In fact the Fed through the QE's (quantitative easings) is the only reason confidence returned to U.S. markets.

    The global economic crisis of 2008 was created by an uneducated population -- to avoid further crises everyone should exercise their civil duty to educate themselves in not only economics and finance...but also in something as simple as balancing a check book, creating a personal or family budget, etc.

    ^ THIS PARTS IMPORTANT EVERYONE SHOULD READ
    -boom-bust cycles caused by fractional reserve banking
    -private central bank (aka a business) is operated in almost every single country in the world

    -1932 – “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Fed. This evil institution has impoverished the people of the US and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.” - Rep. Louis T. McFadden (R-PA)

    President Woodrow Wilson has a message:

    "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled governments in the civilized world. No longer a government of free opinion, no longer a government by the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

    Seems a little more important than the mumbo jumbo economic jargon they have you swimming in. But yea, blame a problem that's been occurring for millenia on the people of today.

    5 FOMC members are the heads of various Fed banks around the U.S.

    As such, in the FOMC the "public" holds a majority vote, and it is the FOMC which is responsible for I guess what you could call in laymen's terms "controlling inflation and deflation" but that's really not the whole story.
    lmao...... if you really think the PUBLIC holds a majority vote in the FED you must be insane.
    THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF DOES NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE FED.

    As an addendum:

    I only got through the first 30 seconds or so before I wrote that previous comment, I've watched further...

    Anonymous says:
    "The Federal Reserve gave American tax dollars to their primary dealer banks, so the banks could then lend that same money back to the U.S. government"

    The Fed gave money to those banks, called capital injections, in order to ease the credit crunch...not to lend back to the American government. It's a simple principle -- If the U.S. is in the middle of a banking crisis why would the remaining banks with capital loan it out...this is what we call frozen credit. If credit is frozen for an extended period of time then the modern economy as we know it ceases to exist because the public, barring those who have a shoebox of cash underneath their bed, are also frozen.
