Federal Reserve

[0121stockpicker]

It's not money you owe yourself . Damn please to a class . Learn people . The country is in the state it is because people do not know how the monetary system works . The federal reserve is not a American company . They are international bankers who controls the governments of all the countries in the world . Central banking us the worse type of money . He who controls the money supply controls the country . The two parties are shoeshine boys to these people . No central banking does not work , look at the world . The free market works , not the fake kind in the Usa. We are a communists nation period . Karl Marx stated it and we are income tax and central bank = communists . You make like it but you don't get to redefine it . Again you are a global banker , your father in law worked for the fed . So you are going to admit you are corrupt . I think not . All I asked other people to do was research for themdelfs . I don't expect you to , you know where your bread is butter .

Who thinks the federal reserve is a company. It's like saying the army or the IRS is a company. The federal reserve is bark of the federal government system. They are not international bankers they are United States citizens every single one of them. Beyond the money supply they also regulate the banking system. Without a central bank a country gives up its sovereignty and its ability to control money supply and monetary policy. How do you believe this could possibly be a good thing ?? And it's public record what all the fed governors make and their net worth. These are not wealthy people by any stretch of the imagination. Matter a fact most leave the fed and join an investment banking firm or a hedge fund so they can make some real money. I remember when bear stearns used to market angell around. No big conspiracy just lots of government bureaucrats - way too many in my opinion.y worry isn't the conspiracy it's that these people will be completely incompetent.

Best of luck to you b

Nobody said the lower people are not employed by the federal govt . They are outside of the govt and control the money supply with zero oversight . Have you not heard congress does not audit the fed . The constitution allowed congress to coin currency , not a outside company period . Dec 23 1913 was the day the construction died , the income tax and federal reserve . Again are you communists ? Is this name calling ? If you believe in central banking and the income tax you are ! You can argue that fact with Karl Marx . You do know who he is right ? Just because you have taken econ does not mean you have been taught correctly . Certainly you may not know it . It's no sin to be ignorant to the facts , but to stay that way is another is . I'm ignorant to lots of things and I admit it . If you tell me that the world economy and the distrubtion if wealth is good and everything is fine with the economy . The govt us honest . The federal reserve are saints and money and power do not come into their minds , well I certainly cannot help you . The facts are the board of directors of the fed are the same ones on every countries central banks . They are the ultra wealth , trillion Aires my friend . They each are on hundreds of boards of every major company in the world media ,mining.power , miltary etc .They control the worlds resources . Your telling me that they cannot control what happens on the stock market ? You think they are honest and have the poor at heart . They have a big vested interest . It's not the excuse of bring outside of politics . It that they control politics . You are dead wrong about central banking . Do your homework or not . I have and it ain't pretty . The reason centeral banks are in every country in the world is not because it works . It's because they use the US milatary as their lap dogs . The middle east does not believe in usery. The banks do not like that period . Go back and look at the last seven countries that have central banking . You will be very surprised . Course it could be a random . Lol

Of course what good would monetary policy be if it was controlled by politicians?? Can you imagine the games with our monetary system that would be played if the fed was under the direct controls of politicians - god help us all. You want to see a screwed up system. That would kill the country very quickly. As you know it was purposely set up the way it was just for this reason. Do you believe it would work better under direct control IV the president or congress?

This of course is completely untrue. First of all the fed does not have a board of directors but a board of governors. Funny enough they are strictly forbidden to serve on an other organizations board. And as you are probably aware board members are on public record. If you give me any public company I can tell you it's board members. Feel free to provide any proof to your statements and again no need for personal comments or insults. This does not help to prove a point and is often used by those who can not support their statements. Best.

 

[Dwight Frye]

You seem to believe it , I have no my home work . No here to prove it to you . You think it would be that easy don't you . They are smarter than you and I and have got away with it for one hundred years . They donot put their names on the riches list I'm the world . In fact they own Forbes mag , the economists . And they control and fund all major universties . Harvard etc . You don't answer the question of do you believe in the income tax and federal reserve . Very simple question . I will start . I do not . Now you ? It's not name calling socialism , communism etc have defintions . Do you belong in them . I know I don't . I define myself. Freedom for all . You again are wrong on the fed . Perhaps you provide me with the info on the workings of the federal reserve . You could make a fortune . Nobody else can . The federal reserve wrote and got the income tax passed for a reason . Yes I know it went thru congress . Lol

And to you , I can only hope you are ignorant to the facts and not corrupt I have no way of knowing . I know what I push , repeal of income tax , repeal of federal reserve and trial and punishment for all govt officials and bankers . Return of all menstrual stolen to the people . A true free market where the people get to keep what they work for . The end of slavery and war . Again its possible you are a very nice person . Or one of the mist hindous people alive . No way to know .

Should be money . Lol

 

[BosnMate]

You know, I passed Econ in college with a flaming "D," but one of the few things I remember from the class is that econ is a theory, and you can't hardly get two economists to agree on anything. Would it be possible for you two econ majors to quit bickering long enough to tell me why the U.S. is borrowing money from China, and then turning around and giving it to foreign countries like we have a never ending supply, and that includes borrowing from China, and then granting some of that money back to them. Don't we have to pay the Chinese interest on the money we borrow? So what does our government do, borrow from the Chinese to pay the interest on the loan from China? How do we get rid to the people in charge of this idiocy? Voting doesn't seem to work, the politicians just keep on keeping on, and nothing happens to them.

 

[Dwight Frye]

Bosmate the answer is yes , go back and read the link.on why the debt can't be paid off . How central banking works and the corruption of central banking . Read secrets of the fed and the income tax root of all evil . Economics is basic stuff and the banking system and socialist of this country have corrupted and stolen the entire wealth of the public. One hundred years and counting . That's why the country and world is where its at . It cannot be fixed , to late for that . Also this was a intentional act period. The economy would control itself fine and fairer for everybody . But you cannot have a minoploy in your money supply . Printing money from thin air . The simple fact of the matter was the income tax was never meant to pay bills . It was meant to tie your property to the debt of the country and transfer wealth to the govt and bankers . Every good economists and there are many know you never tax production you tax consumption only . The real hidden facts are how much overall taxs the people pay . That's why they focus only on the income tax . When all taxes taken into account , and 70000 pages of tax code and 4000000 pages of business regulations the cost of all goods in the usa are doubled and triple . Very hidden the middle class pays over 75% of their income in taxes .. That's why the politicians will never get rid of the income tax , it would destroy the fed and kill corporations bribery of congress The fact is simple if you study it , the income tax has caused all problems in this country and will fix all . It gave them unlimited money and access to you property. Now I have no stake in the banking industry or finance or wall street . Economists who work for the fed etc are and brainwashed , its in their best interst to control your money . Because after all you are to stupid to do so . If the constitution does not protect people property then in fact you are a slave .

A Former IRS Commissioner's Statement

T. Coleman Andrews served as commissioner of IRS for nearly 3 years during the early 1950s. Following his resignation, he made the following statement:

"Congress [in implementing the Sixteenth Amendment] went beyond merely enacting an income tax law and repealed Article IV of the Bill of Rights, by empowering the tax collector to do the very things from which that article says we were to be secure. It opened up our homes, our papers and our effects to the prying eyes of government agents and set the stage for searches of our books and vaults and for inquiries into our private affairs whenever the tax men might decide, even though there might not be any justification beyond mere cynical suspicion."

"The income tax is bad because it has robbed you and me of the guarantee of privacy and the respect for our property that were given to us in Article IV of the Bill of Rights. This invasion is absolute and complete as far as the amount of tax that can be assessed is concerned. Please remember that under the Sixteenth Amendment, Congress can take 100% of our income anytime it wants to. As a matter of fact, right now it is imposing a tax as high as 91%. This is downright confiscation and cannot be defended on any other grounds."

"The income tax is bad because it was conceived in class hatred, is an instrument of vengeance and plays right into the hands of the communists. It employs the vicious communist principle of taking from each according to his accumulation of the fruits of his labor and giving to others according to their needs, regardless of whether those needs are the result of indolence or lack of pride, self-respect, personal dignity or other attributes of men."

"The income tax is fulfilling the Marxist prophecy that the surest way to destroy a capitalist society is by steeply graduated taxes on income and heavy levies upon the estates of people when they die."

[As matters now stand,if our children make the most of their capabilities and training, they will have to give most of it to the tax collector and so become slaves of the government. People cannot pull themselves up by the bootstraps anymore because the tax collector gets the boots and the straps as well.]

"The income tax is bad because it is oppressive to all and discriminates particularly against those people who prove themselves most adept at keeping the wheels of business turning and creating maximum employment and a high standard of living for their fellow men."

"I believe that a better way to raise revenue not only can be found but must be found because I am convinced that the present system is leading us right back to the very tyranny from which those, who established this land of freedom, risked their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to forever free themselves..."{4}

Foreign aid is a fairly trivial amount of our governments budget and represents about 0.2 percent of our national income. Aid is considered a tool of our foreign policy going to countries we want to influence or support - like Israel. I'm certainly not saying it works - we all have our own opinions, but this is a quick factual overview.

China - we do no borrow directly from china like you going down to the bank to get a loan. The us government issues treasury bonds, bills and notes as a means to raise money. Anyone around the world can purchase these - including you. Yes interest is paid.

Why are we borrowing so much. It's call the "balance of payments". Individuals purchase far far more "items" from china than they buy from us. Our government is also spending a lottery than what they take in. And we owe them money for the difference - they buy our bonds as described above. So don't just blame the government it's not only their fault. Also blame the American population who is buying way way more than they should be buying!! But that it their choice in a free society.

Hope this helps.

 

[Dwight Frye]

Don't forget fed is printing money out of thin air . It's a accounting function . Simple a book entry . Then prints the money , gets interest plus a 6 percent fee . Sweet deal . International bankers fund both sides in a,war , then force the winning side to pay to rebuld the losing side as part of the deal. A win win situation . Bankers learn along time ago in the early 1700 that it was way more profitable to loan money to countries than individuals . Zero risk when the citizens / slaves as collateral . And of course citizens are over extented when they do not control their own personal property , the govt take 75 percent of their income and control the interest rates , wall street , banking . Plus making the cost of living two to three times higher than a pure free market . And you thought slavery was dead . Economic slavery is the worst kind . The banking industry the most corrupt business to exist .

The Ten Planks of the Communist Manifesto 1848 by Karl Heinrich Marx

How "Marxist" Has the United States Become?

Although Marx advocated the use of any means, especially including violent revolution, to bring about socialist dictatorship, he suggested ten political goals for developed countries such as the United States. How far has the United States -- traditionally the bastion of freedom, free markets, and private property -- gone down the Marxist road to fulfill these socialist aims? You be the judge. The following are Marx's ten planks from his Communist Manifesto.

1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.

The courts have interpreted the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868) to give the government far more "eminent domain" power than was originally intended, Under the rubric of "eminent domain" and various zoning regulations, land use regulations by the Bureau of Land Managementproperty taxes, and "environmental" excuses, private property rights have become very diluted and private property in landis, vehicles, and other forms are seized almost every day in this country under the "forfeiture" provisions of the RICO statutes and the so-called War on Drugs..

2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.

The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), and various State income taxes, established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago. These taxes continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary increases.

3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.

Another Marxian attack on private property rights is in the form of Federal & State estate taxes and other inheritance taxes, which have abolished or at least greatly diluted the right of private property owners to determine the disposition and distribution of their estates upon their death. Instead, government bureaucrats get their greedy hands involved .

4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.

We call it government seizures, tax liens, "forfeiture" Public "law" 99-570 (1986); Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.

5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.

The Federal Reserve System, created by the Federal Reserve Act of Congress in 1913, is indeed such a "national bank" and it politically manipulates interest rates and holds a monopoly on legal counterfeiting in the United States. This is exactly what Marx had in mind and completely fulfills this plank, another major socialist objective. Yet, most Americans naively believe the U.S. of A. is far from a Marxist or socialist nation.

6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the state.

In the U.S., communication and transportation are controlled and regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established by the Communications Act of 1934 and the Department of Transportation and the Interstate Commerce Commission (established by Congress in 1887), and the Federal Aviation Administration as well as Executive orders 11490, 10999 -- not to mention various state bureaucracies and regulations. There is also the federal postal monopoly, AMTRAK and CONRAIL --outright socialist (government-owned) enterprises. Instead of free-market private enteprrise in these important industries, these fields in America are semi-cartelized through the government's regulatory-industiral complex.

7. Extension of factories and instruments of production owned by the state; the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.

While the U.S. does not have vast "collective farms" (which failed so miserably in the Soviet Union), we nevertheless do have a significant degree of government involvement in agriculture in the form of price support subsidies and acreage alotments and land-use controls. The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Evironmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.

8. Equal obligation of all to work. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.

We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Federal Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000. And I almost forgot...The Equal Rights Amendment means that women should do all work that men do including the military and since passage it would make women subject to the draft.

9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.

We call it the Planning Reorganization Act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.

10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

People are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" .

 

[Dwight Frye]

So, is the U.S. a "free country" today? Hardly! Not compared to what it once was. Yet, very few Americans today challenge these Marxist institutions, and there are virtually no politicians calling for their repeal or even gradual phase-out. While the United States of America may still have more freedoms than most other countries, we have nonetheless lost many crucial liberties and have accepted the major socialist attacks on freedom and private property as normal parts of our way of life. The nation, whose founders included such individualists as Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, James Madison, John Adams and Patrick Henry, has gradually turned away from the principles of individual rights, limited constitutional government, private property, and free markets and instead we increasingly have embraced the failed ideas and nostrums of socialism and fascism. We should hang our heads in shame for having allowed this to happen.

But, it is not too late to reverse these pernicious burdens and instead enact pro-freedom reforms to put our nation back on track again. It can be done.

In some ways the Left has a head start over us on the pro-freedom Right. The enemies of American freedom do admittedly dominate the entertainment industry, television news media, and academia -- but we have the tremendous strategic advantage that reality (including man's nature) is on our side; so, unlike the socialists and "liberals" (welfare-state fascists), we are not in the position of having to advocate a system which constantly tries to "make water to go uphill" -- or force human beings into a rigid utopian staitjacket based on the whims of some clique of central planning bureaucrats. We know that individual freedom for peaceful people within a constitutional republic works in practice; our country's history demonstrates that. The piecemeal abandonment of those principles and institutions which once made America great has proved to be a a dead-end road to failure. That is why I tend to be a long-term optimist even though things often look pretty glum in the meantime. Just as Prohibition was eventually repealed, I feel encouraged that such key statist achievements as the income tax, government schools, fiat money/central banking (the Federal Reserve), "environmentalist" regulations, property forfeiture laws, and other Marxist planks and leftist institutions can be rolled back and repealed altogether, although it may take several decades.

Those who would carry forward the ideas and principles of self-ownership, private property, free markets, laissez faire, the rule of law, and constitutionalism which informed America's founders must become more active on the key ideological battle fronts. We need more influence not just in politics, but in areas of entertainment, academia, journalism, think tanks, churches (we need our own individualist Walter Rauschenbushes), literature, art, and other venues of expression and activism.

Marxism and socialism have proved to be colossal failures all over the world. As Frederic Bastiat wrote in his classic The Law just prior to his death, "let us now try liberty"!

There is no argument against the fact that we are a communist nation . Been one for 100 years . Why do more people not take this to a court of law with a jury . Watch them try and deny it . Least make the courts state in public and the press that we are a COMMUNISTS NATION . All the wars we fought to stop communism were a great lose of life were a joke . There is no half way . IF YOU HAVE A INCOME TAX AND FEDERAL RESERVE YOU ARE COMMUNISTS BY DEFINITION . Do not let any democrat try and tell you different . Mr Marx is the expert.

Of course it is a much more free country. When this country was founded only landowning (rich) white males could vote. Don't you think we've come along way giving the vote to people of color, poor, woman, etc, etc. ??

We need more influence not just in politics, but in areas of entertainment, academia, journalism, think tanks, churches (we need our own individualist Walter Rauschenbushes), literature, art, and other venues of expression and activism.

Marxism and socialism have proved to be colossal failures all over the world. As Frederic Bastiat wrote in his classic The Law just prior to his death, "let us now try liberty"!

There is no argument against the fact that we are a communist nation . Been one for 100 years . Why do more people not take this to a court of law with a jury . Watch them try and deny it . Least make the courts state in public and the press that we are a COMMUNISTS NATION . All the wars we fought to stop communism were a great lose of life were a joke . There is no half way . IF YOU HAVE A INCOME TAX AND FEDERAL RESERVE YOU ARE COMMUNISTS BY DEFINITION . Do not let any democrat try and tell you different . Mr Marx is the expert.

So would you start with the repeal and ending of social security and Medicare as they are probably by far our largest socialist programs?

Yes , the people that paid in get what they paid for . Course its hard to go backwards after 100 years of transfer of wealth to the govt in. In a free market , cost of living way lower . Healthcare would operate under a competition. The cost of it would be a dime on the dollar . Plus the public would have all the money they work for . Work , hard and long hours the slave gets to build capital and wealth instead of giving it to corrupt bankers . I donot say corrupt govt because they are scared and controlled by the bankers . All social programs were written and instigated by the bankers . Not because they are good compassiate people out for social justice . It was for robbery pure and simple . I see your from mass ?
