Mr. 'End The Fed' Takes A Victory Lap Around The NY Fed Building (Ron Paul -- MUST SEE VIDEO)

Video: Ron Paul takes a victory lap around the New York Fed -- Sep. 29, 2009
Remember this one? Watch it again.
Notice the childlike joy visible in the photo. Dr. Paul was beaming, having just led an impromptu march through the financial district ending at the steps of Geithner's old haunt, while his escorts chanted 'End The Fed' over and over as they walked and snapped photos. Awesome clip.

Original text of post is below:
On Tuesday afternoon, Congressman Ron Paul was in New York City, the financial district to be exact, hosting a book signing for End The Fed at Borders. While being escorted to his next event somewhere else on Wall Street, Paul asked his coterie if the NY Federal Reserve building was nearby. You can guess where the group detoured next.
Great music accompanies the clip and there are some classic lines from Paul and his supporters. My favorite was someone telling the Fed's building security guards that they better start looking for a new job. Beautiful line.
At the end, Dr. Paul says
- "We will be back!"

Surely a lot of people are asleep on the issue, but sometimes I think people like Ron Paul over-simplify how drastic a change like ending the Fed would be. Something like, "it's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop." Ron Paul might be that sudden stop, so there are "be careful what you wish for..." elements to all this.
This is not an easy issue...
Talk of ending the Fed is premature...it will have to be a slow process...but let's secure the damn audit for starters...
Good on ya, DB. Keepin' yer eye on the ball.
Although the Fed says it doesn't want to disclose its positions to protect other banks solvency, I think it probably means themselves (since they are a bank). If their job is to monitor and control (preferrably break up) too big to fail institutions that pose a systemic risk, then I think they should start with themselves.
To me the Keynesian school of economics and the people who believe in printing money out of thin air are a bunch of snake oil salesman, and even if Keynesian economics is right, it would only be good if the government spent the money on stuff that is useful. Instead the money is squandered on the welfare state, the military industrial complex, and the prison industrial complex. Our freedoms and liberties are trampled, but hopefully this 1984 style system comes crashing down.
Since the USA Today is part of the mainstream media, I was surprised to see such positive things said about Rep. Paul’s book in its book review today. The reviewer wrote such things as “Paul offers a cogent defense of his position,” and “Paul makes a strong case for sound monetary policy.”
Ron Paul is cited as writing in his book “The Federal Reserve should be abolished…because it is immoral, unconstitutional, impractical, promotes bad economics and undermines liberty.” Paul’s book also is quoted as saying that “the Fed ‘can create trillions of dollars and distribute them to its cronies without congressional oversight.’” The book review lists many things that Paul says is wrong about the Fed, but the most pithy one in my viewpoint is his assertion that the Fed has a “monetary policy that benefits bankers, rather than the common man.” The review also notes that the Fed was created by a secret conclave of bankers and government officials in Jekyll Island, GA in 1910.

I hate the Fed as much as anyone, but I've taken my time to do the research and a lot of the claims are complete crap...
There is nothing New World Order-ish about the Fed...they are simply a bunch of bankers who tend to help their own kind...other bankers...and since they have the power of the printing press, they are dangerous to the rest of us...
First we will audit the Fed, and then if we find that they have abused the NAtion's trust with their investments, then we will work to put people on trial and end the Fed entirely...
I'll respond to your email soon...
What happened?
Certainly, your research cannot have proved that. But hey, if you want to promote the idea that a few bankers got together and planned this heist without an overall agenda or outside influence...it's your perogative and your website. I'm sorry that that opinion colors the slant of the rest of your articles for me. No disrespect intended, just my view.
What about their (Bernanke then Geithner) participation in the secret Bilderberg meetings?

I am not denying that the Fed works in concert with other central banks...and that their interests do not coincide with those of the people...The point I was trying to make is that it's easy to get sidetracked once you head down the path of "New World Order" and "One Global Government"...Russell is new to some of these issues and that video throws a lot out there that is questionable.
I have been hearing and reading about these fears for close to 2 decades and I don't think we are any closer now than the past...it makes for great reading but it can distract from the goal of getting what we want in the short term...namely a Fed audit....To Gobias and others...I know all about Bilderberg...and while I am leery of their intentions, they are either failing miserably in their plot to rule the world, or they have no such intent.
I don't really have time to debate this endlessly, or provide endless links...read about the conspiracies and their authenticity here at Wikipedia...they have done a pretty good job of covering them...it starts about halfway down the page...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_Group
I don't want to fight or argue or get sidetracked by this stuff...it distracts us from our goals...but let's face it, if their goal is 1 world government than they have been failing for 60 years...the UN is a joke...no traction there...and the EU was created for protectionist reasons...(we'll trade with each other and put tariffs on goods from the outside)...and one of the few things we actually know about Bilderberg, is that they hate protectionism...
It's easy to construct just about any theory when there is very little information available...
Because of its secrecy and refusal to issue news releases, the group is frequently accused of secretive and nefarious world plots.[18] Critics include the John Birch Society,[19] the Canadian writer Daniel Estulin, British writer David Icke, American writer Jim Tucker and radio host Alex Jones.

The above article is one of the best pieces I have read on Bilderberg.
But "privacy, rather than secrecy", is key to such a meeting says Financial Times journalist Martin Wolf, who has been invited several times in a non-reporting role.
"The idea that such meetings cannot be held in private is fundamentally totalitarian," he says. "It's not an executive body; no decisions are taken there."

One last thing for the Bilderberger Fans...guess who the is responsible for the Bilderberg conspiracy theories taking hold in public conscience...none other than Phyllis Schlafly...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly
They create the problem, to make ther solution "palatable".
It's a great link Gomp and I agree with 90% of what's in there...nutshelled, I offer an alternative conclusion to the evidence offered in the article...
The Central Banks work in concert to help and benefit one another all over the anglo-saxon globe...for the purpose of solidifying their hold on the world's economies, etc...but not for the creation of a 1 world government...just to keep getting ever more powerful and more wealthy...
A contradiction between the bankers' manifesto and Bilderberg:
central banks profit from and even encourage war...but Bilderberg was originally created in some part to prevent war and encourage open dialogue among world thought leaders...
So in this way the aims of Bilderberg do not mesh with the aims of central bankers...
We can all agree that the World's central bankers work together to benefit themselves, increase power, influence and wealth, etc...We're really just debating whether this is their ultimate goal, or if there is something more...
100% correct, except for the 1 world government part, they to have masters. and they work all over the globe.
"A contradiction between the bankers' manifesto and Bilderberg:

Bilderberg and a few other organizations in their league profess peaceful intentions to the public.
• Central banks are a vehicle to achieve their goals
• Private armies are to enforce their will
All is about capital preservation/ growth to bring about more power and corruption for themselves.
From the time of the Pinkerton’s, these private organizations have stood above the law to exercise the will of those who pay them. Fiat currency and war are merely tools to continue the redistribution of wealth upward. Many men were wanted fugitives one day and hired guns for these organizations the next, all to enforce the will of their masters.
Those at the top of the food chain care nothing about Constitutionality, legality, morality, or sovereignty. They have a long record of violating the law in their own interest.
"So in this way the aims of Bilderberg do not mesh with the aims of central bankers... "
They align perfectly, just like the Soviet Contitution actually "sounds" better than ours, and third world countries are kept that way for a reason.
As to unity, you still have it ,my eye is on the ball. I hope you didn't think I had gone over to the dark ( Gobias) side. LOL.
"A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. . . Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there."

"Merchants have no country. The mere spot they stand on does not constitute so strong an attachment as that from which they draw their gains."
-- Thomas Jefferson to Horatio Gates Spafford, 17 Mar. 1817, cited in Papers 14:221
"The World Bank, IMF, and private banks have consistently lavished huge sums on terror regimes, following their displacement of democratic governments, and a number of quantitative studies have shown a systematic positive relationship between U.S. and IMF/World Bank aid to countries and their violations of human rights."

"How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think."

What part of that includes a claim to being an expert...did you read Martin Wolf...the guy has been there several times and he is absolutely impugnable...
You're doing an excellent job of getting the word out, most of us are just pawns in the game, for the board is just being set. The FED is a tool of those who do seek to form a 1-world government.
Gobias,
Recognition of a New World Order, is recognition that things have been going on longer than Jan. 20 2009. There are a few other organizations you should be watching as well... Congratulations.
Politicians are pawns on the other side of the board, follow the other "pieces", they are the ones that the "master" uses to execute strategy, pawns are more or less diversionary.
You believe the BBC? Wow.
The Bilderberg is actually a lower-level group .... there are MUCH more powerful groups around. Ask Hillary Clinton about her membership in the Pilgrim Society (all Sec States are members). You knew that though didn't you? You're not a CONSPIRACY NUT ARE YOU??
So DB, you don't think there's a one-world government AGENDA? (it's way beyond a "conspiracy," but did you know that TPTB call it "The Great Conspiracy?"....how funny is that. The folks who make fun of any "NWO conspiracy" are mocked by the very people stealing their wealth, their liberty, their families, and their country).
Here's a little inside info for you Conspiracy-Nonbelievers:
The audit-the-Fed bill would NEVER get this far w/o approval from TPTB. They are that powerful. So WHY are they allowing this Paulian display? I'll tell you what a little birdy told me and let's see who is correct 6 months or so down the road:
- they don't care about protecting the Fed anymore because they are GOING TO TANK IT. Let the useless-feeders have their little jolly auditing the Fed. It won't matter. Let the sheeple thiink they matter or can make a difference (we can't).
- as announced at the recent Pittsburgh G20, the IMF will be the new international CENTRAL BANK (btw, did you wonder why an int'l economic group of G20 stature would go to PITTSBURGH of all places? It's because Pittsburgh was the birthplace of the Illuminati in the U.S. How did you like those Darth Vader jackboots using LRAD weapons on Americans? and attacking students with tear gas and pepper spray? Those are GLOBALISTs my friend....of the NWO kind. This is NOT a game. 39 million Americans are on food stamps. When food riots start you'll be laughing at those FEMA camp conspiracy stories too?)
- the Fed has started TAKING ON DEBT ITSELF for the first time in its history. Ironically, they are going to do to the Fed itself what they have done to 3rd-world countries around the world: load it with so much debt that IT WILL COLLAPSE ITSELF. The time-frame I saw for this was the 1st quarter of 2010.
- This will be a win-win-win for the Illuminati....oops, that sounds like a conspiracy----for the girl scouts! Yeah, that's it. This is what they get: no more audit-the-Fed/end-the-Fed nonsense; it will be GONE! IMPLODED! By design. No more Ron Paul crap (from their perspective). They saddled AMERICA with all the debt! Yippee! They get their sorry arses out of town because now the BANKRUPT FED takes all the blame. (Imagine the illiminati-controlled media: blame the Fed! Bad Fed! Bad! Ron Paul was right! It's the economy! Oh, woe is me! We were just so unlucky during this recession---NOT DEPRESSION, you can't use THAT word).
- But most importantly, the economy will be so bad (on purpose---Owe-baaaama! Owe-baaama!) that the U.S. STILL will not print its own money......WE WILL BE SQUARELY IN BED WITH our new masters, the IMF.....a NEW WORLD CURRENCY......the dollar will be stripped of half its value in "crisis negotiations" (guess who will be sitting there?), but there's no ONE-WORLD GOVERNMENT agenda! .....pathetic.
Study the rise of Hitler and Mussolini, and you will discover not only the American presence in their rise, but also a plot by the same "learned men" to overthrow America, and set up a Facsist government here.
War is a rackeet, a tool to advance wealth for those who have loyalty to nothing, yet speak often of peace...

You are right DFDO, they create the problem so their "solution" is more palatable. When they strip the dollar, watch for the solution to be a hemispheric currency, such as the Euro in Europe. Don't drink the cool aid...
"Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim -- when he defends himself -- as a criminal."

"The size of the lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of the nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than they are consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell a big one."

"A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government."

I already told you Gobie, JTS is my neighbor and is not AB/ RLR. I am considered a big guy by many, but JTS is considered a freaking giant. They do not even make gloves big enough to fit him. You are showing your ignorance again.
The Fed is audited already (a bunch), an "audit" isn't going to accomplish anything as they write their own financial accounting manual. They get audited every year just like any other public company; at least some extension of the Fed does. That's a feature, not a bug.
haha "Fed audits": http://www.jrdeputyaccountant.com/2009/07/you-want-to-audit-fed-but-why.html
How do you audit an entity that creates its own accounting rules? http://www.jrdeputyaccountant.com/2010/02/new-fed-financial-accounting-manual.html
Once they lost the manual and had to come to my website to find it I guess: http://www.jrdeputyaccountant.com/2010/06/alright-who-lost-fed-financial.html good thing they have everything under control.
