epic vid, repped

interesting, hasnt been anywhere near aussie news...

what do they plan to achieve and do you think they will achieve it ?

Not bad. He basically summarizes how money is created by the Fed. But it is important to keep in mind that although 9 times as much money is created by the money multiplier effect, all that money is destroyed once the loans are repaid. So it is not a permanent effect. He has good points, though.

saw this on the RP fb page. This guy has good points:

1)Fed uses inflation, interest, and income tax to rob the poor and redistribute it to the wealthy
2)Their Wall Street cronies get bailed out through our corrupt govt, but we don't
3)Govt officials are being corrupted by the lure of easy money and being able to make promises through that to get voters to reelect them

Actually I just watched the first half, but I could see where he's going.

Only thing I disagree with is the "End Capitalism" on his sign. Free market capitalism was hijacked by the Federal Reserve, and it hasn't existed since then. It has been replaced with corporatism.

Much of the problem I have with the OWS movement is it's blindness to the real root cause, the Fed. Many of the protestors are angry because of corporatism, and rightfully so, but lack the full understanding of how the Fed works and how it is f***ing all Americans of middle-class and below. They want their entitlements and are pushing socialist values to get them. The sad thing is that will only concentrate the wealth even more.

OCCUPY THE FED AND VOTE FOR RON PAUL IN 2012 <---- only honest man in washington that sticks to his principles and is strongly against the Fed

hopefully the government will start to represent the people of this country and not corporations.

I dont think we will achieve anything anytime soon.


and to DEEPINTEXAS we were reppin' our END THE FED signs all day. but i do agree many of the protesters are not informed and this movement needs a leader. It is not organized enough yet.

basically corporate america runs this sh!t and buying out every politician known to man.... out whole economic system is fake, all the money in americas existence belongs to a private bank (srs)


this is just the beginning, basically the only shot as of right now we got to actually saving this country from economically imploding is a republican candidate ron paul ( who is quickly gaining popularity ) and is the only one not taking corporate donations, also he receives more donations from military troops then all the other candidates combined.

Anyone else find it ironic that a lot of people doing this are probably Ron Paul supporters?

[Noonga]

WAHHHHHH!!! Bunch of phucking crybabies whining. What are they protesting exactly... capitalism? Bunch of hippie liberal phucks. Economies cycle. Some times are good and some are bad. We're in a recession right now. It won't always be like this.

did you even watch the video what in the fuk are you talking about?


how is he protesting against free market?

[ELMOstl]

nobody is protesting the free market, we are protesting the government being run by corporations. Politicians make laws based on what lobby donated to their campaign. this is what we are protesting.

I love how being a RP supporter automatically disqualifies you from having legitamate thoughts lol
Also yes noonga explain. Because all I see since the Fed Res Act of 1913 is our dollar being constantly devalued (currently at 4% of 1913 value) and ever-increasing debt (that we will NEVER BE ABLE TO PAY OFF)

[deepintexas91]

did you even ****ing read what I wrote? or are you too busy watching tv and being derpish. Because pretty soon it'll be too late for all that.

[Dazza3600]

The guy does know what he's talking about but I only agree with certain parts of what he's saying.

Agree with: The change to state/federal powers and reducing corporate influence in politics (almost impossible and probably too idealistic but whatever). Bailing out companies that screwed up with tax payers money. Fuk. That. Sh!t.

Disagree with: Reverting to a gold standard and stopping fractional reserve banking; placing an inflation limit (in terms of real money supply) of 3% p.a. to limit the amount of money that can be printed would be better. Going back to having gold sitting in banks doing nothing would ruin the economy.

do you even know what Ron Paul's campaign platform is, what in the fuk are you talking about? Ron Paul is a horrible ****ing choice for presidency, and his bandwaggoning idiot constituents are even worse. brb being anti-federalist. brb lettuce pretend the Confederate States of America won the war. brb lettuce get rid of separation of church and state, even though I claim to be a constitutionalist, brb lets give up every single foreign military base, brb civil rights issues should be decided by states (lol), brb believing states can rule against the constitution, brb not supporting the right to privacy in citizens because it's not in the constitution. Ron Paul is full retard, as is 99.9 percent of his supporters who just nuthug him because he's not a conservative or a liberal and they think they're making radical change by voting for someone "outside the box"

[bluebeltATT]

[Santos90]

I actually enjoyed this guys take on the protests, he is against the police brutality, he reminds me so much of Keith olberman

[jayshmo]

He believes in seperation of church and state as far as i know(he said he wouldnt impose his faith on anyone), he never said anything agaisnt right to privacy, and anything "crazy" he wants to do has to be approved anyway so provide some proof for your claims or stfu
