Its a shame that the anti-Fed movement as important as it is makes basic mistakes like this because it takes away credibility and reinforces the Fed.

Its a shame that the anti-Fed movement as important as it is makes basic mistakes like this because it takes away credibility and reinforces the Fed. Serious question (meaning not sarcastic). Why does the government ask Ben Bernanke where money went? If the Fed is mainly a government agency, shouldn't the government already know? Or is this a case where one section of government has no clue what another section of government does? Which would basically mean, who cares if it's a government agency or not, if it is not accountable to the people that the government is supposed to represent? The Fed has a special status (this is not unusual, there are certain sections of government with special status). Btw, the government never represents the people.

Check any reliable source and youll see this is how the Fed works and that is not correct to say its a private entity. Title: Re: 10 Things That Every American Should Know About The Federal Reserve Post by: jwzguy on February 13, 2012, 04:29:04 PM Most reliable source:

Can also get lots of info from author's site and newsletters, www.realityzone.com/un.html But I find that some people really are happier not knowing the truth. It's a harsh reality to discover that pretty much everything you thought you knew turns out to be make believe. I heard that Ft. Knox has had no third party audit since the 1970s. Why would they not want an audit. Something to hide? The lies go deep and wide. Like standing in a 20 mile diameter crater. You don't know even know until you do your own exploration.

The Chairman of the Fed, as well as every member of the board, is appointed by the President of the US. I think you need to take your own advice here ^ Quote As stipulated by the Banking Act of 1935, the President appoints the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; they must then be confirmed by the Senate and serve for 4 years. Once appointed, Governors may not be removed from office for their policy views. The chairman and vice-chairman are chosen by the President from among the sitting Governors for four-year terms; these appointments are also subject to Senate confirmation.[1] By law, the chairman reports twice a year to Congress on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy objectives. He or she also testifies before Congress on numerous other issues and meets periodically with the Secretary of the Treasury. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chairman_of_the_Federal_ReserveThe Fed sucks for a lot of reasons, but you haven't identified them.

If the system is specifically designed to be easily corruptible, it will be corrupted. We should stop electing people, we should vote directly for ideas, not the people.

Part 2: 20 years later in 1933 under Roosevelt the United States was declared bankrupt and in 1933 the Federal Reserve private bank says: Ok, U S A, what are you gonna pledge as collateral on the debt you owe me? What happened by 1936? Does anybody know? Part 3: In 1936 we instituted Social Security System and You and I and our children and our children's children were pledged as collateral on the debt of our government to the Federal Reserve and that's where we are at today. Part 4: Took 20 years to make this country bankrupt and since then our government has operated under EMERGENCY POWERS of our government. It is NOT THE PRESIDENT that makes the decisions in this country, it's the SECRETARY OF TREASURY who turned around and is put in there by THE FEDERAL RESERVE to manage THE BANKRUPTCY. We have been IN BANKRUPTCY ever since, ..., that's where we are at today. Wow, that actually explains a lot! I remember Timothy Geithner current secretary of Treasury went to Europe a few months back to participate in crisis talks, and members of EU parliament asked him if this is also an opinion shared by president Obama, he said: "He is not in charge, I am". I'll try to find a video, but can't promise...
