Honestly, the last 10 years were the best for me, but I'm sure when the dollar fails (no thanks to the current admin.) in upcoming years, we'll be fucked.

Ya know what I find amusing...

So many people were pro-obamy during the election. How he is our saviuor and blah blah blah.

Now look at his approval rating. People are flipping over on him faster than pancakes at waffle house.

It was never more apparant then when wonda sykes was on Conan. Right after Obamy gave himself a A- or B+ (CRS). She was one of his big election campaigners. But she gave him a C-.

I just find it amusing. I can... cause I didn't vote for him.

I just sit back and laugh. People far forget that, most things in the economy lag a president behind. So we may not know how bad things got screwed up with the Fed being involved in big biz for many years. That being said, the president alone can't fix shit! So maybe we're all screwed.

Vote out your represenative and congressmen. They aren't helping!

Troof. So I guess I'm crazy. That's how I voted nov 08. If you were in office I voted for the other guy. I don't care who he/she is, has to be better than you!

You = current incumbant

Geez, man. Creative, aren't we? His approval ratings are down only 12 pts., and I dare say largely because of the political hit job on him from the right.

Shall we look at Bush's approval ratings?

I think he is referencing the "Fed", in which case, he'd still be wrong.

Avatard · 12-30-2009, 01:22 PM

Nope:

Who really owns the FED? The Rothschilds of London and Berlin; Lazard Brothers of Paris; Israel Moses Seif of Italy; Kuhn, Loeb and Warburg of Germany; and the Lehman Brothers, Goldman, Sachs and the Rockefeller families of New York.

The FED is the only for-profit corporation in America that is exempt from both federal and state taxes. The FED takes in about one trillion dollars per year tax free! The banking families listed above get all that money. Forty cents in every dollar of US taxes.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Federal Reserve is independent of the government and privately owned.

The Federal Reserve is owned by its member banks. The next question is, who owns the member banks? That is a complicated question because of the holding companies, etc.

It is historic fact that the plan for the Federal Reserve was created by banking interests in great secrecy at Jekyl Island in 1910. J.P. Morgan and Paul Warburg were the primary architects. Political impetus for this action came from the Money Panic 1907.

Those member banks of the Federal Reserve are now using the funds from the bailout to buy out privately owned banks. This is in violation of the act (or law) that congress passed to allocate those funds. It is also a conflict of interest that Treasury Secretary Paulson comes from the same financial cabal that runs those member banks and the Federal Reserve.

Since the operations of the Federal Reserve are secret, have no active congressional oversight, and are not audited by the GAO or the IRS, there is no way to protect the economic interests of the American People.

When copy and pasting, it is polite to cite your references.

Otherwise you just look like a tin-foil plagiarist.

I just copied the parts I thought were most relevant to your statement, since this isn't exactly the core subject of the thread.
