Will The US Declare Independence from the Federal Reserve
83Steve Liesman and Trish Regan: Why Are You Kissing Alexander Hamilton's Ass?
A debate on CNBC between Steve Liesman and Trish Regan on the one side and Rick Santelli on the other was regarding the audit of the Fed sponsored by Ron Paul. If you are an American patriot you will support the audit of the Fed. The Federal Reserve is a private bank that has no authority in the constitution. The Founding Fathers fought to establish freedom from the private Bank of England that put them in debt. Sound familiar? How much debt did our current Fed allow when they looked the other way when ponzi housing off balance sheet banking was brought from Basel 2, home of the central banks like the Fed, to our shores?
The Fed is a traitorous organization. The Fed is against the interests of the people of the United States. Liesman and Regan are lapdogs of the Fed and support the secrecy by which the Fed operates. Congress has the right to regulate and look into every action of the Fed. Alexander Hamilton wanted a private bank and wanted the US government to give favorable treatment to a few. This mercantilism continues today as George Bush and Barak Obama seek to please the Federal Reserve bank. This is traitorous behavior.
Indeed, Andrew Jackson, at the risk of his own life, kicked out the Second National Bank and we were as a nation free of private central banks for 70 years. I would suggest that Andrew Jackson was an American patriotic hero and George Bush and Barak Obama are not heroes, nor are they American patriots.
And Steve Liesman and Trish Regan are kissing the asses of these non heroes who seek to favor a few, like Goldman Sachs. Indeed, Alexander Hamilton would have been president of Goldman Sachs!
It is time this disgusting mercantilism be viewed for what it really is, an attack on the average Joe. It is time the American people study and bone up on this fraud that continues to attack you! Historically, mercantilism was an aggressive foreign trade coupled with protectionism.
The new mercantilism of today has elements of these but also has the most important element, the favoring of certain businesses by government. It is that favoring of Wall Street over main street that is the most disgusting application of a philosophy we thought was pretty much dead. But favoritism, a New Mercantilism, is far from dead. The new war the mercantilists are waging is against main street and the middle class!
The ultra federalism of Hamilton sought war and expansionism. We are doing this through the neocons who still dominate the Obama adminstration and were brought to power by Bush/Cheney. These are criminal warmongers who want increased debt upon the American people. They even want to increase the debt of the Chinese. Wall Street wants to sell credit cards to the Chinese and make them into consumers instead of savers. Wall Street is the favorite of this government and has shamefully scammed the US citizens with liar loans and usurious credit card rates. The private Federal Reserve Bank is key to this mercantile predatory activity.
Steve Liesman of CNBC wants Fed Independence, but....
I want independence from the Federal Reserve Bank! We are being robbed as a nation by the Federal Reserve Bank and Steve Liesman of CNBC is fretting over the Fed losing its independence! This is so upside down and backwords that it is time we as a nation started thinking differently and outside the box.
Clearly, Tim Geithner is like a mole, who has been placed by the Fed in the position of Treasury Secretary where he can rob US citizens blind to bail out the Fed's pets, hedge funds and Goldman Sachs. Tim Geithner is giving another bailout, the third one, to GMAC without the bondholders of GMAC taking a haircut. You know why? It is because all the big financial institutions' bonds are levered up by the hedge funds. The hedge fund puts a dollar of wealthy investor money into a bond along with 9 dollars that are borrowed. That fund is levered to the bonds and if the bonds take a hit that gives the hedge funds a multiplier loss.
So that is what this is all about, Geithner protecting the hedge funds and the Federal Reserve Bank cronies. This is cronyism magnified to absurdity. Steve Liesman is an absurdity for even thinking that the Federal Reserve Bank even deserves to be independent.
Until the United States government kicks out the moles of the Fed, like Geithner who was president of the New York Fed before becoming treasury secretary, and Larry Summers, who is President Obama's main economic advisor and a hedge fund patsy, we will never be free of this theft!
Add to all this theft by the Fed and the Treasury Department, the asset bubbles being blown by the Fed as they let the dollar tank and we have a massive rip off of the American consumer/taxpayer. Any good bond trader, like Rick Santelli of CNBC, can tell you that the savers in this country are getting ripped off by low yields with the bond bubble in price that exists. You have Steve Liesman, the Fed's man on CNBC defending the tanking of the dollar as being no concern of the Fed. Sorry, but that is wrong, wrong, wrong! We need real economic growth, not asset and debt deflation that will make the US even poorer in the long run. If you think that asset inflation is not important then read what I wrote here.
Federal Reserve Scam
What is the solution for our government regarding bailouts?
The US government, if they are going to bail out GMAC and all these financial institutions should take an interest in the companies they are bailing out. They should take senior position ahead of these hedge fund bond holders, so that they can retrieve the US taxpayer money. But we know that Geithner has protected all the financial institutions without making them make any sacrifice or their lenders (bondholders) making any sacrifice. It is a disgusting and vile policy. It is not what we voted for when we voted for Obama.
Many Americans have been diverted by pay packages of companies controlled by the government. While I am for limiting the obscene pay of American CEO's across the board (most countries don't have the massive greed US ceo's have) it is not the biggest issue. The two biggest thefts by Wall Street continue to be the bailouts and the low interest rates that the average investors receive due to the need for banks to have easy money. The Fed orchestrates all of this.
On a related issue, Barney Frank has a bill to cause the too big to fail banks to be unwound because the government knows that the taxpayer is raging mad. And the Republicans, who are in as deep or deeper than the Democrats in this fraud won't even support the measure. What is wrong with these people. I am not talking about the Ron Paul Republicans. We will see how this tiny minority will support bank unwinding.
The only thing that I don't like about these unwindings is that leeches like Goldman Sachs make money on the fees generated by prepackaged bankruptcies. I hope they wouldn't take their pound of flesh if these banks were ever unwound. That just wouldn't be right.
Update on Barney Frank Issue: Unless the plan has a provision for allowing bondholders to take a financial haircut to share in the pain of the unwinding of too big to fail banks, the plan is not fair to other banks or to the taxpayers. I will find out more as this progresses. Here are the FDIC Chairman's criticisms of the bill.
New Update: Apparently the new plan by Barney Frank protects the creditors, and keeps the taxpayer on the hook first. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE BARNEY!!! Even Robert Reich, a Democrat, is against this bill

Oh, I support lots of Republicans, Tom, with their stands against the banks. But the taxpayer should not be on the hook for winding down a too big to fail bank. The Republicans should get on board that concept but I don't think a lot of them want to. And I wonder why? If I find out I will post it here.
I am learning and liking the concept. There is so mucy phoney and corruption going on in the government.
Keep on hubbing!
Yes this is like the Revolutionary War but the foreign invader is on our shores, controlling our money. We need to act as a country and the government needs to know that this theft of US taxpayer money will be met by voting the guys who allow it OUT OF OFFICE.
Keep on hubbing is right. You are doing exactly what you ought to be doing.
P.S.
I think you may be underestimating the pull and scope of the so called 'ron paul republican movement' [which is neither inherently ron paul-dependent nor inherently republican]. Which is, of course, a good thing. The mass-awakening on this front is as real and as credible as anything we've seen in the past 100 years. The American populace truly is 'coming to,' and it's incredible to watch, and you are helping. We have the power to change the world. This [the grassroots in the form of writings like this one that it currently takes in the information age] is where it starts, and the evidence and consequence of the truth of that fact is undeniable.
Bless you, sir, and keep it up. And thank you.

Gary as you and I have discussed many times I agree as citizens of The United States the organized political parties have both committed an atrocity on all people they are supposed to be serving. If all existing laws had been properly enforced the financial calamity would never have happened.
The Fed must be abolished. The Treasury should never have outsourced printing of currancy. Too big to fail is an anathma. Let them go down in flames.
The Fed has monitized so much debt the dollar will soon be worth more as fuel than as money.
Yes Gary, I have always thought that Ron Paul is more libertarian than Republican. Guys like Glenn Beck who have picked up on the banking issue as a means to strengthen the Republican Party are suspect, because they still love neocons and war. And every true bank hater knows that banksters love war because war means more debt!
I totally agree with you Tom, and I agree with you that both parties are culpable in this permission of off balance sheet banking and liar loans. Rubin was a Democrat and so was Frank, who may be trying to make amends to the American people. We will see.
Good hub. Interesting perspective and quite informative. Thanks.
Thanks Alek. I hope that each of us can do what we can to make the American people aware of this theft that is taking place by the Fed and its moles. These are not patriots. They are, rather at cross purposes with the financial well being of the nation.
I think the traditional party divisions are becoming irrelevant to what is going on in the economy. Aside from a few notable exceptions the political classes as a whole are conspiring with the Fed to keep the economy going in an entirely dishonest way: largely by shovelling borrowed and printed money at an undeserving, overblown and socially useless financial system. If you think back to the last presidential campaign, can you remember either side saying anything at all that sounded useful and intelligent on the economy, or even mildly hopeful that there would be a real change of direction?
I agree. The only issue I have is that I view the neocons as being more dangerous than the Democrats. If the Republicans would kick the neocons, who are really atheistic communists, out of their party, I could support lots of their views. Not all though. I do believe in separation of church and state. Not sure some Republicans believe that. But the dangerous folks are the neocons. And they create debt for banksters AND murder and mayhem.
True conservatives like Pat Buchanan are slow to war. Neocons are empire builders and evil men in their pursuit of world distress.
The average guy simply has no understanding of the Money Supply. The average guy is completely clueless as to the role of the Federal Reserve. And at least half of all people are average. The Bankers running the country understand this. They use distraction techniques to keep people in the dark. Play on the emotions of politics and keep people thinking about something else. Then you simply pay off Washington through Lobbyists and you have a recipe for more of the same. It's unfortunate but the very people who would benefit the most from getting rid of the Federal Reserve are simply too stupid to "get it". It's like trying to teach economics to Homer Simpson... as soon as the pink donut comes along all is well with them.
This is NOT a political issue... Bush was the Fed's best buddy and Obama has continued appointing the same people as Bush. The only difference between Administration policy is Obama has managed to print and spend even more... who would have thought anyone could outspend Bush?
I agree, it is a bipartisan issue. However, I view the Republicans as more dangerous to world peace because banker debt and war are a good mix for the bankers. I see Obama wanting to cut that back. That is good. Neocons would risk everything for World War 3.
And all we can do is educate the people about the role of the Fed. If we succeed great. If we don't we can just keep voting people out of office. I would never vote for a neocon, but I could stay home. I emailed the same to Harry Reid.

Gary,
It could be the Rebulicans don't trust the Frank/Dodd coalition that led them down the path of The Communitiy Re-investment Act. Then they claimed Freddi and Fanni were fine.
Trying to make this a partisan thing is self defeating. Do you really believe my senator Jay Rockefeller is an innocent bystander?
I agree the Fed is the problem, but please let the partisan thing go!!
