- southeastbeast, on 09/30/2008, -4/+94Dismantle the Federal Reserve please kkthxbbai
- TunaFishGangsta, on 10/01/2008, -2/+66It's all going downhill since 1913.
In 1913:
Average Income $1,296.00
Loaf of Bread $.06
Gallon of Gas $.12
Gallon of milk $.36
New Car $490.00
New House $3,395.00
Dow Jones Index 78
But I'm sure we are saving fortune not having to store all that gold and silver. - sultanica, on 09/30/2008, -2/+66sad state of affairs...
- Catspaw, on 09/30/2008, -0/+64Thanks for the post. The Federal Reserve is akin to a vampire that keeps sucking increasing amounts of blood from its host and is on the verge of overwhelming it. Time to get rid of it now! I think this is the same presentation at a Torrent site for anyone that wants to put it to disk and give it to family:

The Secrets of the Federal Reserve by E. Mullins is enlightening also. See: http://www.apfn.org/apfn/reserve.htm - NewGTGuy, on 10/01/2008, -5/+54If the Fed goes, so will birth certificates (legal), statutory law, income taxes, and social security (insurance) numbers.
Not to mention the debt-based federal reserve notes.
We will start living as a truly free society again, imagine......
P.S. All of the above were created as a result of the bankruptcy of the United States (and Canada) in ~1933. - smartguy911, on 10/01/2008, -2/+44Federal Reserve Board Abolition Act (Introduced in House) - http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=629
- connieLingus, on 10/01/2008, -2/+38As John Maynard Keynes, the famous British economist, observed in his "Tract on Monetary Reform," published in 1923:
"It is common to speak as though, when a Government pays its way by inflation, the people of the country avoid taxation. We have seen that this is not so. What is raised by printing notes is just as much taken from the public as is a beer-duty or an income-tax. What a Government spends the public pay for. There is no such thing as an uncovered deficit." - QuantumBios, on 10/01/2008, -1/+35"You are a den of Vipers.I intend to rout you out and by the Eternal God I will rout you out." - President Andrew Jackson, referring to the banksters. Read up on him, very interesting story of our history.

- tkubic46, on 10/01/2008, -1/+29The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional and Illegal! It was created by a handful of elitist globalist Senators right before Christmas Break.
That's the only way they could pass the Federal Reserve Act! It has been sapping the life out of our country since!
"If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their money,
first by inflation and then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will
grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property
until their children will wake up homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered." - DiscoLando, on 10/01/2008, -1/+29What's interesting about the past few weeks is that the Austrian School proponents, Ron Paul included, predicted much of the turmoil we're facing right now. The fix isn't to create more money out of thin air but rather to push for real economic and monetary reform.
- iancgi, on 09/30/2008, -0/+26Lets fix it.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -1/+24Everyone should watch this before they make any sort of decision about the bail-out.
- tonyteetime, on 10/01/2008, -1/+23As long as the Feds exist , three things are certain : taxes , death and INFLATION !
As long as the feds keep printing money out of thin air , there will be constant inflation up until the eventual monetary system collapse. Inflation is what hurt most working people. Your wage does not increase as fast as your cost of living and it will affect your savings for retirement. - Betrayal, on 10/01/2008, -2/+24The Money Masters: http://tinyurl.com/3q2h45

More people need to know about these things. - tkubic46, on 10/01/2008, -2/+23The Federal Reserve is Unconstitutional and therefore illegal! It was created by a handful of corrupt elitist Senators right before Christmas break! That is the only way the could pass the Federal Reserve Act. It has been sapping the life of ou country since.
IT IS CENTRAL ECONOMIC PLANNING! We haven't had true capitalism for 100 yrs!
This is not capitalism. This is central economic planning by the a private banking cartel of international banks!!!!
"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
LISTEN TO THE FOUNDERS, LISTEN TO RON PAUL, JOIN THE R3VOLUTION! - odigity, on 10/01/2008, -1/+22G. Edward Griffin?

(runs to the window to check for flying pigs) Oh my god, people are finally getting educated. I'm in total shock.
Listen to this man, he rules. - inactive, on 10/01/2008, -0/+20Now is definitely the right time to get people thinking about this. Plant the seeds, and some of them will grow.

- bryanedds, on 10/01/2008, -0/+18And there is this fantastic, classic video on the Federal Reserve. It reveals the system for what it really is - the coecive transfer of wealth to the rich and politically connected from everyone else. It is financial socialism.

If the people only understood the rank injustice of our money and banking system, there would be a revolution before morning." --Andrew Jackson, 1828

Houses were less than 3x annual income.
Hmmm... My house sold for $520K last year. Yup, things have changed. - homah, on 10/01/2008, -1/+15H.R. 2755 ftw
- odigity, on 10/01/2008, -1/+15I've seen this several times before, but in honor of it making it to the front page of Digg, I think I'll watch it again now along with you guys.
I'm so proud! (sniff) - jlhoben, on 10/01/2008, -0/+14We should all be finished with the "market" as a priority for financial security. It's completely rigged and non transparent. This Paulson thing and the bailout is the final straw. From now on debt reduction should be our number one priority.
- bryanedds, on 10/01/2008, -0/+14End the FED!
- tkubic46, on 10/01/2008, -1/+15"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies.

- blindeyeseesall, on 10/01/2008, -0/+13Interesting to note that the video was posted over a year ago. Yet when he talks about what the Fed and Government tell the people when they want to spend a whole lot of money, like say $700b, it's almost exactly what they are saying today.
- kosser, on 10/01/2008, -0/+13the worse part of this whole thing is, the federal reserve is a PRIVATE COMPANY....we let a private company issue every dollar America has...that's a tad bit too much power with little to NO REGULATION
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -0/+12Let Congress know there are more Voters than Lobbyists this November.
Vote 'em all out. - Charles07v, on 10/01/2008, -2/+14They did go off the gold standard and FDR tried to confiscate everyone's gold. Since gold was money and they didn't have enough to pay the bills, they kind of did go bankrupt.
- dycc07, on 10/01/2008, -1/+13*looks in wallet

*reads Federal Reserve Note
Whoa... - bryanedds, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11No, the world was built IN SPITE of it.
Always remember that. - odigity, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11Don't diss my man Griffin. I've never seen anyone so good at communicating complex topics in an understandable way.
- jbmicastorm, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11An example of how our education system has gone to hell too.
- inactive, on 10/01/2008, -1/+12***** YOU GRAVY ROBBERS!
- DiscoLando, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11So, you're just another of those who blindly dismiss the Austrian school, ignoring that they've pretty much predicted every economic and monetary problem we're facing today? You think endlessly inflating the money supply is a good thing?
Do you think it's fair and prudent that when the Fed pumps more credit into the system the banks and those who run them get all the benefits of the extra cash without any of the inflationary effects that befall those at the end of the chain?
I for one am sick to death of our awful policies. Here's to hoping people learn that boom and bust cycles can indeed be a thing of the past. - NewGTGuy, on 10/01/2008, -0/+11This is an excellent video to get people started. Thanks for posting.
