No, you are not missing anything.

The Fed is not the one making money.

It is those that lend money to governments that are making money.

I learned something new today about the Fed and is they pay the majority of their profits back to the Treasury. $77 billion in 2011. Is this true, or am I missing an obvious part of the puzzle?

I see all this going down, but it has been their plan from the get-go. Our forefathers didn’t think so, but then again our forefathers were duped into believing they won a war against England, and that we have a land of our own. WRONG.. the Rothschild banking dynasty owns the Federal Reserve. It is entirely BRITISH controlled and has been the whole time. Which makes me wonder why the British would want to help a country that “defied and defeated” them? BECAUSE WE DIDN’T DEFY OR DEFEAT THEM. Hmmm… better think on that one.. and oh yes time for a conspiracy theory name… ILLUMINATI… ITS REAL GET USED TO IT.

The Fed is for profit. When the Fed purchases bonds they make profits on the bonds. When the Fed sells bond they sell for a profit. Look up the history of the Fed Reserve. Very powerful people control the money across the world. I am not saying its good or bad but its a fact.

[...] Fear mongering was again used to win support for the banker bailouts. Anybody who understands the monetary system can see that it is one big ponzi scheme that is going to crash in the long haul. With this kind of fear mongering they are gaining more and more control over our [...]

A Quantitative Easing (QE)strategy will not work and this is not just an ideological debate between one group of economists and another group – there is a lot of empirical evidence. Firstly, the Japanese tried the same with QE and they did not clean up their banking system (the US has not) and stimulated too little and too late (like the US) – it stagnated the Japanese economy for well over a decade and secondly, the IMF has produced a report (IMF Working Paper – WP/08/224 – Systemic Banking Crises – A New Database) that analysed over 120 financial events related to bank failure and the conclusion from this data is that QE has no positive effect on the real economy and little positive impact on banking operation in the longer term. Bernanke is supposed to be an expert on the Great Depression but he does not understand the dynamics. It is assumed in classical economics that markets tend to equilibrium but even classical economist Irving Fisher (too which Bernanke refers) did a volt-face and concluded that markets are not in equilibrium and a different strategy is required.

Bernanke’s strategy will have a perverse outcome – the only impact QE will have is a provide a short benefit to financial institutions (surprise, surprise!!). Bernanke and the Fed have a peculiar and very narrow focus on Wall Street at the total expense of the real economy. The medium to long term impact will be to undermine the bond market, set of accelerating inflation and add to the overall debt liability. It will be like throwing petrol on an already burning fire. There are many domino’s ready to fall and any one could trigger a systemic failure.

The reality is that the financial services sector/Wall Street should have been closed down and cleaned out. It is now inevitable that a systematic collapse will occur as no one was willing to take the hard medicine and constantly ‘band aiding’ as the Fed is doing will only prolong the inevitable.

Won’t the weaker dollar mean that we might actually be able to export some of our products again–at a profit?

Takeover is nearly complete, America. Get out and vote in November for constitutional conservative candidates on election day. This election will be the most important election in our lifetime. Do it for your children and grandchildren. If Republicans don’t gain seats in the House, it is OVER for America as we know it.

Why in the world would our government delegate this immense power of controlling our money supply to a private bank when the constitution clearly states that this power is granted to the federal government? Our government can print our own money interest free.

The founding fathers wrote a constitution that would prevent this. The problem came about when those stewards of this great documant became self-interested and passed unconstitutional laws to buy votes. The bottom line is that the constitution does not authorize the Feds to take from one individual and give to another. Frankly, our tax system in unconstitutional as well, in terms of taxing some more than others. Everyone is equal under the law…well unless you make more than the other guy.

The constitution is dead…most are in denial of this fact. Freedom? Where? you’re born-tell the state, need school-state run, job-tell the state, purchase something-tell the state, childeren-tell the state, own real property-tell the state ( you don’t own your real estate; it’s a long term lease from the state-try not paying your property taxes), die-tell the state, try and pass your assets to your kin-tell the state, THEY OWN YOU! We already carry the mark of the beast. Render to Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar…

What happened to the notion that we have unalienable rights endowed by our creator?
