Tax Payer GM Bailout Reaps Huge Rewards for Chinese - Debt for You and I
It's all one big fraud. In these phony debates, we will never hear anyone moderator ask about the TPP, which makes NAFTA, The Auto and Bank Bailouts look like small fries in comparison. Both of these puppets are talking about job creation while in reality, after the next term, regardless of the president, this trade agreement will seal the doom of our economic situation opening the floodgates all the way to Asia. This Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement has managed to stay buried under campaign rhetoric as all real topics do. I suppose the NDAA will not be publicly discussed either. It's all a giant distraction side-show. Neither of these two candidates will be any different because they are both controlled ultimately by the same handlers. It would be interesting if someone asked them to start naming their choices of cabinet members and advisors. I bet many of them would be the same appointees. Until we get complete honest electoral reform in place there is no reason to believe we have a democracy in the first place. We live in a disguised socialist state that becomes more and more apparent everyday to even the most average minds. Either the country should just officially give up and change our status or start really pushing some reform soon. If nothing is done soon the authoritarian fascist state will degenerate to complete totalitarianism very quickly.
Until we stop talking about "deficits," “tax reform” and "government spending" and start talking about money creation and who controls how much money we have, it's just a shell game - a complete and utter deception. It won't even matter if we pass an ironclad amendment to the Constitution mandating a balanced budget. Our situation is only going to get worse until we root out the cause at its source. The Federal Reserve is largely responsible for the out-of-control spending by Congress. The federal government can only obtain money through taxation, printing or borrowing money. Monetary reform should be the topic, not sideshow "job creation" rhetoric. Neither of these candidates will address this and therefore neither of these candidates are going to make any real impact on the economy. Both men are bought and paid for by the globalist central banks. Socialism world wide has won and people here still actually believe democratic capitalism exists somehow!

Robert Rubin - Visionary
The following was published here: From http://www.nationofchange.org/first-federal-reserve-audit-reveals-trillions-secret-bailouts-1314633089
The first-ever audit of the U.S. Federal Reserve has revealed 16 trillion dollars in secret bank bailouts and has raised more questions about the quasi-private agency’s opaque operations.
"This is a clear case of socialism for the rich and rugged, you’re-on-your-own individualism for everyone else," U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont, said in a statement.
The majority of loans were issues by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY).
"From late 2007 through mid-2010, Reserve Banks provided more than a trillion dollars… in emergency loans to the financial sector to address strains in credit markets and to avert failures of individual institutions believed to be a threat to the stability of the financial system," the audit report states.
"The scale and nature of this assistance amounted to an unprecedented expansion of the Federal Reserve System’s traditional role as lender-of-last-resort to depository institutions," according to the report.
The report notes that all the short-term, emergency loans were repaid, or are expected to be repaid.
The emergency loans included eight broad-based programmes, and also provided assistance for certain individual financial institutions. The Fed provided loans to JP Morgan Chase bank to acquire Bear Stears, a failed investment firm; provided loans to keep American International Group (AIG), a multinational insurance corporation, afloat; extended lending commitments to Bank of America and Citigroup; and purchased risky mortgage-backed securities to get them off private banks’ books.
Overall, the greatest borrowing was done by a small number of institutions. Over the three years, Citigroup borrowed a total of 2.5 trillion dollars, Morgan Stanley borrowed two trillion; Merryll Lynch, which was acquired by Bank of America, borrowed 1.9 trillion; and Bank of America borrowed 1.3 trillion.
Banks based in counties other than the U.S. also received money from the Fed, including Barclays of the United Kingdom, the Royal Bank of Scotland Group (UK), Deutsche Bank (Germany), UBS (Switzerland), Credit Suisse Group (Switzerland), Bank of Scotland (UK), BNP Paribas (France), Dexia (Belgium), Dresdner Bank (Germany), and Societe General (France).
"No agency of the United States government should be allowed to bailout a foreign bank or corporation without the direct approval of Congress and the President," Sanders wrote. In recent days, ‘Bloomberg News’ obtained 29,346 pages of documentation from the Federal Reserve about some of these secret loans, after months of fighting in court for access to the records under the Freedom of Information Act.
Some of the financial institutions secretly receiving loans were meanwhile claiming in their public reports to have ample cash reserves, Bloomberg noted.
The Federal Reserve has neither explained how they legally justified several of the emergency loans, nor how they decided to provide assistance to certain firms but not others.
"The main problem is the lack of Congressional oversight, and the way the Fed seemed to pick winners who would be protected at any cost," Randall Wray, professor of economics at University of Missouri- Kansas City, told IPS.
"If such lending is not illegal, it should be. Our nation really did go through a liquidity crisis - a run on the short-term liabilities of financial institutions. There is only one way to stop a run: lend reserves without limit to all qualifying institutions. The Fed bumbled around before it finally sort of did that," Wray said.
"But then it turned to phase two, which was to try to resolve problems of insolvency by increasing Uncle Sam’s stake in the banksters’ fiasco. That never should have been done. You close down fraudsters, period. The Fed and FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Commission) should have gone into the biggest banks immediately, replaced all top management, and should have started to resolve them," Wray said.
Renewed questions about the Federal Reserve have inspired some young activists to organise grassroots protests across the U.S.
"Since its creation by the U.S. Government in 1913, the Federal Reserve has created so much new money out of thin air that it has destroyed 95 percent of the dollar’s value," Joseph Brown, a college student and one of the organisers of a recent protest of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, said.
"This hidden inflation tax benefits Wall Street and the government, but hurts the poor and those living on fixed incomes, such as senior citizens, the most," Brown said.
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) audit itself was the result of at least two years of grassroots lobbying. IPS reported in June 2009 a wide bi-partisan coalition of Members of Congress had co-sponsored legislation to audit the Federal Reserve.
The audit was ordered as an amendment by Sanders as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act - a major banking overhaul passed by President Barack Obama and the U.S. Congress in 2010.
"I think this (the first ever GAO audit) was a good start to uncovering what the Fed did so that we can begin to determine whether similar actions should ever be permitted again," Wray wrote, adding, "my preliminary answer is a resounding no."
The GAO also found existing Federal Reserve policies do not prevent significant conflicts of interest. For example, "the FRBNY’s existing restrictions on its employees’ financial interests did not specifically prohibit investments in certain non-bank institutions that received emergency assistance," the report stated.
The GAO report noted on Sep. 19, 2008, William Dudley, who is now the President of the FRBNY, was granted a waiver to let him keep investments in AIG and General Electric, while at the same time the Federal Reserve granted bailout funds to the same two companies.
"No one who works for a firm receiving direct financial assistance from the Fed should be allowed to sit on the Fed’s board of directors or be employed by the Fed," Sanders said.
The GAO is currently working on a more detailed report regarding Federal Reserve conflicts of interest, which is due on Oct. 18, 2011.

Claim Exempt Every Year and Never File Anything
A RE-POST FOR THE PEOPLE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF EACH PAYCHECK:
Producer Aaron Russo set out on a journey to find any evidence of the law that requires American citizens to pay income tax. This film which is neither left, nor right-wing is a startling examination of government. It exposes the systematic erosion of civil liberties in America since 1913 when the Federal Reserve system was fraudulently created. Through interviews with U.S. Congressmen, a former IRS Commissioner, former IRS and FBI agents and tax attorneys and authors, Russo connects the dots between money creation, federal income tax, and the national identity card.
Are you aware the Supreme Court has ruled that the government has no authority to impose a direct unapportioned tax on the labor of the American people, and the 16th Amendment does not give the government that power?
Start the New Year off right. Print or request a W4 from your employer and write EXEMPT on line 7. Collect your FULL SALARY without the illegal taxes deducted and then file NOTHING next January.

IRONY AT ITS BEST
Here's to Keeping Completely NON-Credible Through The Years:
He works for a criminal institution that essentially hijacked the US Monetary System, crippled the economy, laundered obscene amounts of money, and printed up trillions of dollars for his Big Banking buddies. Him and Greenspan have said time and time again that the Fed answers to no government. With balls like that - it's no wonder Time Magazine puts him in the same category as Hitler, Stalin, and Obama.
Maybe he Time folks are just following the trend of other gigantic propaganda machines like the Nobel folks, who most recently added Obama (the war president) to the same honorary list as Fritz Haber (the chemical-warfare pioneer that brought us Zyklon B).
Here's an interesting take for you to ponder...
Ron Paul also had something to share:

Stop Supporting Tyranny
Here are some interesting quotes that I came across while watching America: Freedom to Fascism - produced by Aaron Russo:
"The government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency. Creating and issuing money is the supreme prerogative of government and its greatest creative opportunity. Adopting these principles will save the tax payers immense sums of internet and money will cease to be the master and become the servant of humanity."
- Abraham Lincoln
"If the American People ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency...the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property, until their children wake up homeless on the continent that heir father's conquered."
- Thomas Jefferson
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
- Benito Mussolini
"It's well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning"
- Henry Ford
An interesting point, made over and over again in the movie - is that there is not a single law that requires the average American worker, working in the private sector to pay direct unapportioned tax. Every day citizens are winning in court against the IRS.

END THE FED! END THE FED! END THE FED!!!
A post over at the Worcesterite Forum this afternoon sparked a desire to post links to some relevant Federal Reserve Videos.
Ron Paul's View
Some great insight here as well. I especially like the articulated point made starting around 2:03.
To reiterate, watch this.
I also love the quote used in this video:
"The Refusal of King George III to allow the colonies to operate an honest money system, which freed the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators was probably the PRIME CAUSE OF REVOLUTION"
-Benjamin Franklin
Founding Father

U.S. Government Hijacked By Big Banking Globalists
Thomas Jefferson once said:
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."
Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802) 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)
OH BOY OBAMA! DID YOU EVER GET US! HOW MANY BILLIONS ARE WE IN FOR NOW??? LMAO

WAKE UP MAN, YOUR KIDS ARE WORTH IT!
"...know who we are facing... a bunch of criminal hoodlums. military industrial complex minions using Madison Avenue, advertising, propaganda brainwashing techniques, to neutralize opposition to the New World Order.
They got you to deny its existence while they were building this world wide police state for total enslavement - now its upon you and their saying accept it, or the "terrorists are going to get you."
WAKE UP MAN, YOUR KIDS ARE WORTH IT!
The truth is getting out to the American people. And as the liberals and the conservatives wake up to the fact that we have manufactured consent in this country and that there is no real serious debate about issues, just simply staged theatrical events - we can begin to get out Bill of Rights and Constitution back
All American's should be constitutionalists because the constitution of the United States, and the bill of rights, state the facts of history - Governments become tyrannical. They attempt to dominate populations, and they must be resisted and mistrust of government - a watchful nature must be promoted and supported in a country if it’s going to be free."

Don't allow Obama to cause more havoc in the Middle East! It's all part of the plan!
