Alan Grayson Asks Fed General Counsel Scott Alvarez: "Has The Federal Reserve Ever Tried To Manipulate The U.S. Stock Market?" (MUST SEE)
Prosecutor meets punk. Flashback...
Grayson v. Alvarez - Audit the Fed Congressional Hearings
Stop. Seriously. Watch this now.
"I would like to know whether it is within the Federal Reserve's legal authority to try to manipulate the stock market or the futures market."
By far the most entertaining and cogent portion from today's hearing on Ron Paul's HR 1207, as Alan Grayson questions Fed general counsel Scott Alvarez. Turn up the volume because the questioning starts immediately.

The argument has been wrong from the beginning. We could have a nearly uptopian society if we simply killed the elites of politicans, big business CEOs, and bankers. These people are not the gifted, but rather the grifters.
If we simply allowed that any crime by a politican, banker, or business executive incurred an automatic and immediate death penalty we would within 50 years have a utopia of plenty, prosperity and peace. Instead we let the evil ones arbitrate for us the huge mess they themselves have made of the world.
More on this and a nice Alan Grayson anecdote from National Treasure Matt Taibbi.

Didn't know this before: Grayson actually worked as an economist for 4 years before going to law school. No wonder he's got the Fed's number.

And have a great weekend, Daily Bail. Great work on the HR 1207 hearings.
Scroll down, look on left for 'recent activity'.
Read about this Act in the link below. Fed trying to give red herrings and lames excuses to prevent or water down the HR1207 "Audit the Fed". Shouldn't it be time to completely audit the Fed and do away with the lies, deception, hypocrisy, and looting of American taxpayers by the Fed's Ponzi schemes?
Let's see who in Congress really supports this Act whole-heartedly or whether they're secretly helping the Fed to water down the audit. Scumbags that give a water down version or don't support this Act should be voted out of office.

THE REAL ENEMY IS********......
THE F"IN FED!!!!!!!!!!No not federal express,not federal mogul...Mike larsen"The Fed Consistently Errs On the Side Of
Easy Money — Over and Over and Over
Why am I being so blunt? Why am I so sure we're going to see the same movie ... again? Because of recent history.
Starting with Alan Greenspan two decades ago — and continuing under Ben Bernanke — the Fed has become a gigantic enabler of financial risk-taking. The prescription for every downturn in the economy or financial market shock has been the same: Throw money at the problem!
Long-Term Capital Management blows up? Cut rates!
Y2K bug threatens banks? Flood the system with cheap money!
Dot-com bust? Housing bust? Recession? Drive rates into the gutter!
The risk of this strategy is abundantly clear ... it keeps fueling new bubbles in the wake of the old ones. Even the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development weighed in on this topic a few days ago, warning that a key risk right now is "the reigniting of rolling asset bubbles through easy monetary policy."
But the Fed shows no sign of changing course. Worse, the Fed has consistently maintained this asinine asymmetric policy toward asset bubbles."
The feds know exactly and they look like they have been taught to dodge and effectively consume 5 minutes that are alloted to senators for questioning. They know "just stall em for 5 mins"
Send them off to Afghanistan to the war front. taliban will take care of these idiots
Real enemy is Goldman. Fed doesn't do ANYTHING without
prior approval from Goldman. Does anyone seriously think Ben or Timmy execute anything without running it by Goldman first.
((((Goldman Sachs control white house and F**N Dumb Presidents))))
GS is TOO BIG TO FAIL
GS is TOO CONNECTED TO BE INVESTIGATED BY SEC
GS is PART OF THE GOVT (Fed Reserve, Treasury and White House Advisors) AS GS PEOPLE ROTATE IN AND OUT OF GOVERNMENT POSITIONS
wing the real situation with RIMM? We will never know as GS IS EXEMPT FOR ALL GOVT INVESTIGATIONS AND HAS A TEFLON SHIELD WHERE THE SEC CAN NOT TOUCH THEM.
SEC won’t investigate GS because there is a job waiting for them at GS after they leave the SEC?

They throw it in the senators faces that they only get there 5 min quickie. Masterful display of time wasting. "Can you repeat the question".......
Very good explanation about how manipulation works
Only in the US government allows crooks to operate like this, just listen to this video.

Fellow Americans: Revolt now
"I DON'T KNOW"
What burns me is the way Bernanke will sit there and say, "I don't know who we gave $500B to" and it doesn't occur to him that on this side of the rainbow, that's the equivalent of saying, "I don't want to work here anymore".
Here's the proof. Total denial. Extreme cognitive dissonance.

For Liberty: How the Ron Paul Revolution Watered the Withered Tree of Liberty introduces us to the people who decide elections and the future of the country - not just the activists but the swing voters. A 2006 study by David Boaz and David Kirby found that about a fifth of voters hold generally libertarian views. Grover Norquist labels it the "leave us alone" coalition. The pieces of a political realignment waiting to happen are wonderfully edited on screen. As Ron Paul demurred, "it was the message not the man": liberty is popular and the constitution brings us together.

More Lies, More Deception
Paul Craig Roberts
Infowars
September 28, 2009
“What does imperialism mean? It means the assertion of absolute force over others.” Robert Lowe 1878
The G-20 ministers declared their meeting in Pittsburgh a success, but as Rob Kall reports in OpEdNews.com, the meeting’s main success was to turn Pittsburgh into “a ghost-town, emptied of workers and the usual pedestrians, but filled to overflowing with over 12,000 swat cops from all over the US.”
The military general credited with capturing Saddam Hussein and killing the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, says he has spoken with President Obama only once since taking command in Afghanistan.
"I’ve talked to the president, since I’ve been here, once on a VTC [video teleconference]," Gen. Stanley McChrystal told CBS reporter David Martin in a television interview that aired Sunday.
"You’ve talked to him once in 70 days?" Mr. Martin followed up.
"That is correct," the general replied.
This revelation comes amid the explosive publication of an classified report written by the general that said the war in Afghanistan "will likely result in failure" if more troops are not added next year. Yet, the debate over health care reform continues to dominate Washington’s political discussions. On Monday, the White House announced President Obama would travel to Denmark to lobby the International Olympic Committee to select his hometown of Chicago for the 2012 summer games.
Former U.S. Ambassador for the United Nations John R. Bolton said the lack of communication with the general was indicative of Mr. Obama’s misplaced priorities.

Nice link, SNK...i have found an expanded version of it and will be posting...thanks for alerting me to this...
We are all in trouble because of Obama's misplaced priorities.
He is a fraud and a traitor, I am sure that you would agree.
Reamber to take that anger to the poles Nov. 2nd and vote for the "New Guy".......& Ron Paul.
What I will agree with is that a majority of both sides of the aisle in Congress plus the presidential administrations of George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama have sold out the American People.
I am beginning to think the political parties have outlived their usefulness. The Congress is mired in continuous partisan conflict, they refuse to pay any attention to the demands of the majority of the electorate. The American People are telling them what they want yet they do the opposite. They are accomplishing nothing beneficial for people of this country.
The only thing they seem to be able to work together on is the continuing coverup of the corrupt even criminal actions of Wall Street the FED and the government regulators leading up to and after the economic collapse. This they do to protect their own individual butts. They know if the people ever find out what is really going on their retirement will be spent behind bars, if they live long enough to see the inside of a cell. Both parties will fight tooth and nail to keep the truth unknown and justice at bay.
We need to change the whole damn system, the one we have is totally corrupt and unsalvageable.

The Pot Holes, are waiting for us to drive threw them. Were now driving threw "Land-Mines"....................
And after Congress flips, it will still be consumed by partisanship, scandal, still will not listen to the American people, and will still continue to be the lackey of business and big Goobermint.
That is, as long as the voting machines allow change... They have been shown to have a "mind" of their own, I wonder what is on tv tonight?
In 1983 Congress changed the law by specifically authorizing the taxation of Social Security benefits. This was part of the 1983 Amendments.
Unemployment compensation has been taxable by the federal government since 1987.
Has any administration sought to repeal these great taxes of the Raygun weebleution? Now our medical benefits that you have are to begin being taxed at the first of the year, both what you pay, and you will pay tax on the employer portion as well.
Judging from past practice, do we think this will be repealed?
We are Fucked, & up the Ass...........Its way pass'ed time to re-claim our country, at this point. All we can do is put up a "Good Fight"......................and go down in Histroy, trying to be good "Americans"...........................!
We got nothin left. Girl gest "Stomped-On" at Rand Paul, event............Guy gets Smached on with cruches in Palmer Al. for saying Impeach Obama....................................
I took my "American Flag" down today to save my family from Death................the "Shadow-Goverment" is not going down eazy, folks.
They will fight us to the end of life, for the ones still standing............"Wake Up"...........the end is comming..........
Judging from past practice, do we think this will be repealed?"
Gobie, that would be the time you were supposed to jump in and give your personal written assurances that this tax, as well as the other two I listed above would go away.
Is your conviction of truth, justice, and the Republican way, not that strong?

Just wait till next year is 1/2 way threw. We think things are tight now, just wait. Thoes of us that are just making ends meet now, will need to find more things to sell, and get along with a lot less.
The sheeple have no clue as to the tax we are going to be hit with. Shit, congress has no clue either, they neaver read the bill.
And as I thought 4 mo. ago. Voter Fraud will creep in and steal the election. On Resit.Net, they are already talking about taking it into their own hands if that happens. Thats the "Worest'est" thing the American People could do. The "SG" is just waiting, and ready for them.
They evan got "Chicken Coops" ready for them.
