MUST SEE VIDEO: Dennis Kucinich Calls For Congress To Take Back The Power Of The Purse, Demands The Abolition Of The Federal Reserve
Video - Dennis Kucinich - May 31, 2011
Brilliant 1-minute clip. Kucinich takes to the House floor.
- "We have plenty of money for war, Wall Street, and welfare for the rich."
- "The Founders did NOT intend for America to be run by Wall Street."
Kucinich is correct. The rationale for the Fed's existence is that Congress couldn't be trusted with the power to coin money, given their penchant for irresponsible spending. The thinking goes that whichever party were in power would utilize massive spending (since deficits would no longer exist) as a means to guarantee (buy) their continued existence as the majority party. So the Fed was created and the Constitutional authority to print our currency was handed to a group of private bankers.
The result was that all Federal deficits had to be borrowed and interest paid to the Federal Reserve, all to prevent the destruction of the dollar through wanton spending and printing by Congress via the U.S. Treasury.
I'm sure you see where I'm going here...
In the past 4 years, the Fed has completely abdicated their duty and charter to protect the dollar. The Fed now prints with reckless abandon, under the guise of saving the economy, but the money is going to Wall Street and big banks in stealth QE maneuvers (and so-called emergency bailout programs), and NOT to the people.
It's time for that experiment to end. Our nation's 3rd central Bank (the Federal Reserve) needs to suffer a quick and excruciatingly painful death. Congress couldn't do any worse of a job destroying the dollar and we would no longer owe anyone interest on the debt. For example, a $1.5 trillion deficit could be printed away by Congress essentially for free.
Yes, there are dangers inherent in this proposal. Banksters might also end up being the recipients of Congressional largesse in the same way they are the beneficiaries of Bernanke's helicopter, but after 4 years of money-printing for Wall Street, it's high time to give it a shot.
Honestly, at this point, and in the opinion of this author, it couldn't be any worse than Bernanke's never-ending, Wall Street-loving, QE-managed trainwreck.

Bernanke is only responding to the hyperinflation of DEBT already WELL underway. He is buying it outright for cash (worthless paper) as the banks closest to the flow of fiat money race to convert it.
In an expanding economy, debt may be considered an asset. In a collapsing economy, debt must be considered a liability. The “dollar as debt” is a derivative of the “dollar as wealth” … wealth without basis. Soon the world will see this liability, and the FANTA$Y will end.
Ironically, within a few months, Kucinich will BEG Bernanke to print away, they all will to save their asses (their jobs and their paychecks) as the most massive currency hyperinflation the world has ever known unfolds in a series of extreme panic responses. Hyper-INFLATION of all things in relation to paper and hyper-DEFLATION of all things in relation to real money, or "wealth with basis".
Then the BIS, will appropriate Treasury's holdings of that "basis" to balance global "sovereign equity". Life goes on....

Two years after an Australian lawyer caused a stir by sending a foreclosure notice via Facebook, the practice of online legal service is spreading as a means for courts to keep their dockets moving.
Courts in New Zealand, Canada and the U.K. have adopted the Australian example to avoid having cases stall when people can’t be located and served in person. Lawyers said the U.S. may not be far behind in using the world’s most popular social- networking service.

A bill that seeks to reduce the federal workforce by 10% over the next few years was introduced today by House Committee on Oversight & Government Reform Chmn. Darrell Issa (R-Cal.) and subcommittee leaders Dennis Ross (R-Fla.), and Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah).
The legislation aims to accomplish that goal by limiting the hiring of one new federal employee for every three who leave their jobs or retire. The Reducing the Size of the Federal Government Through Attrition Act of 2011 (HR-2114) supposedly would save taxpayers $127.5 billion over ten years.
{PS: Someone forgot to woop Wilson's ass 99yrs ago}
"This act was instituted and established by transferring and/or placing the Office of the Secretary of Treasury to that of the Governor of the International Monetary Fund. Public Law 94-564, page 8, Section H.R. 13955 reads in part: “The U.S. Secretary of Treasury receives no compensation for representing the United States ..."
That's pretty well "out there". But spend about 20 hours here (the topics are heady and need to be reread some times) and you'll break free from the paradigm that the 98% have been conditioned to "see" and you will see the perspective of the 2% we think we hate. ;0)
This blog has only had 2 million hits. When it's 200 million you'll no longer recognize the "way of life" we think we're protecting.

There is only one thing we can do, since we know beyond a shadow of doubt that the Politicians will save the debt at any cost (to save the system). QE3 is coming, and QE4 to QE end game, whenever the final run hits is Guaran-fuckin-teed!
As I see it, the only thing we can do is buy and hold gold. We aren't wealthy enough to make a big diffrerence but if everyone did it, it would accelerate the run on physical gold that's been underway ever since LBMA went public with it's flow report, back in 1997. China has certainly done their part, and continues to, as have the oil rich sovereigns.
The day that a medium sized player like Soros comes running out of a bullion bank screaming, "they won't settle my account in physical" you will see the worlds most well managed run (just look at the steady gradual rise of gold priced in dollars since then) break out into the PANIC global bank run of ALL TIME. The BIG players aren't even "players". They are best described as "holders".
You can fractionalize paper until the derivatives are in the quadrillions (they nearly already are) and bail out that debt with more worthless paper until the cows come home. Governments will drop it all on your front lawn to save the system.
It will be the run on "paper gold" that ends the current international monetary and financial system. Shrimps like us, buying and holding gold at any paper price we can afford to simply makes us part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
There ... I'm a gold bug, but certainly not the garden variety kind. You go from "activist" to "realist" in one fell swoop.
Difficult to comprehend at first, but see:

Many hours to digest, but well worth the time.
I already got a Lehman Brothers Managing Director as Governor in the last election, imagine if he can do for Ohio what Lehman did for the rest of America...
Third world paradise here we come.
Move.
I have so little trust in our Congress both the House and the Senate that it wouldn't surprise me at all to find out Rep. Kucinich is trolling for a big campaign donation.
After watching 114 turncoat Democrat cosponsors of HR-1207 sellout to the FED Lobby and vote against Audit the FED, nothing the congressional parasites pull surprises me anymore. I believe the 114 cosponsored the bill never intending to vote for it, they were looking for a handout and needed some leverage to get it. Just one example among many showing the rampant corruption that controls the Government of the U.S.A..
Ohio is losing two seats due to the census showing an exodus from the state. Redistricting is underway and I have a sneaky feeling that when the lines are drawn, Dennis may be out of a job. Follow what has happened to others who made the stand.
Money talks, and Ohio's last election put the bankers on top in Ohio, no fraud here...
Just good business.

Kucinich is not in trouble and he doesn't have pelosi's approval, of this i'm certain...she loves bernanke...you must not know much about what's really going on...but when you're not paying attention to these issues 14 hours per day, 6 days per week for the last 32 months as i have been, it's understandable...
