Federal Reserve warns The People to BACK OFF

"Effectively be a takeover of monetary policy by the Congress...a repudiation of the independence of the Federal Reserve...would be highly destructive to the stability of the financial system, the dollar, and our national economic situation." -Bernanke

This is a threat of economic collapse if we, The People, try to audit the private, independent Federal Reserve who controls our monetary system. We were warned about this by our founding fathers. James Madison told us, "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit and violent means possible, to maintain their control over governments, by controlling money and its issuance." President Andrew Jackson openly stated, "If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations. I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic, inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a monied aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country."

Now, the Federal Reserve is under public scrutiny for the first time. The American people are growing wary of the actions of the Fed that are taken completely in secrecy involving our money. They issue our money, and we are charged interest on every dollar they issue. You like paying taxes? You like working 3 to 5 months out of the year to pay those taxes? What if you found out that those taxes were going to cover the interest these bankers are charging our government to issue our money? Well, that is exactly what is happening, and it has been for nearly 100 years.

People are starting to realize a few things. They are realizing, first of all, that the Federal Reserve is not even Federal. They are realizing the the Fed controls our complete monetary system, and now under Obama will gain control of our complete financial system including regulatory oversight into private business, and that this is as far from free market as you can get. They are also beginning to learn that the Fed operates in complete secrecy with no oversight or regulation, and can therefore handle our money and our debt in any way they choose, including investing in foreign entities, using our own money.

Now, as H.R. 1207 passes into the Senate and gains momentum, and as the Federal Reserve has been caught red handed in a cover up of coercion and intimidation involving the mergers and sales of some other private financial institutions, they are warning us to back off.

Bernanke, the Chief Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and the 4th most powerful man in the world, is telling us that if we do not back off, we will face economic collapse with certainty.

What should we do? Should we heed the warning of the 4th most powerful man in the world, and arguably the most powerful man in America? Should we back down and say, "oh, well, you know it's ok. Go back to doing your business in complete secrecy. Manipulate our markets, endebt us without end, meddle in foreign affairs with our money. Hell, do whatever you want. Just don't collapse our economy!"

I mean, what kind of a response is appropriate here? Do we buckle under and let them continue to operate our economy in secrecy? HELL NO! We deserve to know exactly how our money is handled, where it is put, and why we are trillions in debt and this administration not only continues to enlist the printing presses of the Fed but moves directly to PROTECT AND EMPOWER the Fed even further.

Screw this guy. This is OUR money and OUR lives that are being handled here. America has a right to know what it's international Federal Reserve is doing with it all.

Why Taxes Enslave… Period.

I often find myself in discussions with people. People who insist that the state is their best friend. People who believe that waging mass murder on the rest of the world is keeping us safe. People who believe that being a serviceman/woman does still serve the good of the world. People who believe that our support for the state is necessary for our well being and that of the world at large. Some people cannot be broken out of this infinitely flawed view. Some of these are the same people who can’t see that capitalism is not the culprit of the current economic crisis or that the same issues that caused alcohol prohibition to fail will be the same causes that make the “War on Drugs” fail.

Oddly, these same people are the ones who’ve never heard of the torture that we carry out at Guantanamo and other “black sights” around the world. They’ve never heard of the illegal detention and kidnapping of people around the world who were tortured, in some cases, and never had the chance to file for grievances with their captors. The daily killings of civilians in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan somehow escape their world view. What do these things have in common? The killing, detentions, torture, economic crises, and their continuation are made possible by you and I. Our tax money has not only turned life into a living HELL for other foreign people but it has also enabled the state to use our money to crack down on us. Taser’s, tanks, pistols, missiles, jets, and aircraft carriers are all bought and built with our money.

The money coerced out of me and you not only has resounding macro effects but it also has micro effects like the police state here in the US. Woman, children, and the disabled are being assaulted by cops who are paid by the very people they violate. How else can this occur other than in a state run system. Imagine a company who routinely violates it’s customers. This could not occur in a purely Free Market society because the victimized customers would quickly switch to the competitor and the aforementioned company would suffer great loses and possibly go out of business. Instead we are stuck with a system where the state has a monopoly on security which means that they can treat us any way they want without the risk of losing income. Other municipal systems operate this way too. Instead of water systems finding ways to maximize their water output or conserve they simply cut off water to their customers because they can. Of course in a free market one would be able to switch water companies or other technologies would be created to acquire water in other ways to keep water providers afloat.

So, as I’ve shown above taxes not only fuel wars, torture, monopoly’s, police states, and the war machine, but there are also many indirect consequences. For example the unlawful detention and torture of civilians in other countries creates resentment and hatred for the occupying power. When people are killed then you have others who want revenge against the occupying power (or invader) who committed the atrocity. As a result more enemies are created against the state (who took it’s people’s money (taxes) and used it to create war and mass murder in the foreign land). Some foreigners will want to take revenge on the people who enabled the occupying or invading state to carry out the attacks that killed their loved ones. The attacks that these people carry out in the homeland of the occupying/invading force will in turn be used by that occupying/invading force to justify it’s interventions in foreign countries and might be used to expand these operations. As a result more and more people are hostile toward the occupying/invading country. As a result the occupying/invading state is forced to crackdown more and more on it’s people to stem any attacks that might be carried out by it’s foreign enemies. Thus, the people who enabled their state to take their money for “security” are eventually the ones who the state has to keep itself safe from.

However, this is just one facet of the enslavement that taxes enable. The other facet is one that undermines private property. Certain things like your labor or property (that is acquired from another party) have nothing to do with the state yet they find it appropriate to come in and tax these things. The state has never owned or contributed to 100% of the property in it’s borders so how can it claim to be owed a taxes for 100% it’s use? Likewise, how can the state claim to have a stake in the income you receive from your job? Your labor never belonged to the state so how can they tax you when you trade it for private income (at your job)? The fact that you are taxed in these two ways means that the state feels that it owns us. You can never truly own private property because you must always pay taxes on it or the state will take it. Likewise, if you do not pay income taxes, even though they never owned the money or your labor, they will either take some of your money (a fine) or your time and labor (prison time). Does this sound like an entity “that’s for and by the people”? NO!

In-other-words the state makes freedom impossible for others and it’s own people. The state claims the right to wage mass murder in it’s people’s name while simultaneously taking it’s people’s rights. It creates monopoly’s in certain markets and undermines capitalism. It claims to provide security while being the biggest threat to it. It takes people’s money and converts it into death and destruction on foreign countries. It claims to own everything. It claims to be accountable to nobody.

Peace…
