Actually the Federal Reserves Sells Treasury Bonds from the Treasury in their Open Market Operations to Primary Dealers who act as agents to the public buying Treasuries.  Then the Fed sets the discount rate (interest) and then buyers come in and purchase at their desired yield.   The Fed can purchase these Treasuries (which they currently purchase many of) for their own balance-sheet (ie: Quantitative Easing).   The Fed also sets the reserve ratio for the commercials banks and what assets are allowed for collateral (Commercial Paper, MBS, Older Treasuries, derivatives, etc....).   

Now to the question on how the Fed loans at zero, well there is this thing called the "discount window" where a bank can bring various collateral and then get in return Treasuries and currency credited to their account.  If the interest rate is 0-0.25, then that is what they will being paying to service this collateralized loan.   The flaw that has been exploited by the banks is that they bring very dubious assets (Home equity lines of credit, mortgages and derivatives) and collateral to get basically free money that they can either lend at interest or actually hold with the Fed and earn "free money" because we are actually paying interest on money deposited with the Fed.

I am happy to answer any questions or refute false claims.  We need to all do our homework so we know exactly how our system works.  If you do not know that then your spreading mis-information and that only gives more cover to the real exploitative actions happening in our economy.   

Why is it still locked?

First off, we owe trillions in Treasuries to other foreign governments and entities. 

I don't think you understand where most debt/credit creation happens.   It is by the commercial banks.  They lend it into existence and that has interest attached too it and then at the same time carry the debt as an asset on their balance-sheet (or sell it off).  They do this in a fractional manner with almost no reserves.  This is why there is more P +I at all times in the system. 

What central banks do mostly is cover the spending of the government by selling and buying Treasury bonds and also sell Treasuries (high power money) to commercial banks so they can keep fueling credit/debt into the system.

You may need to do more research on this or actually explain how the system works and where the flaws are at.   If you come at me silly-style like that again, I am going to take you to task.  I read source documents and they are old, do try and treat me like some idiot. 

I agree, we are too far gone at this point.  We need to reset the system and flush all the bad debt out of the markets.

Yep, this highlights the major flaw in our monetary system.  The problem that  [P < P + I] (P = Principle I = Interest) - this is the math of a debt based monetary system.

I am interested.  PM me with what you have.

Actually digital USD is the preferred medium; liquid, traceable and unenforceable (Ask HSBC).

I am suggesting that is there is a posted Speed Limit and your exceeding it, you are in fact breaking the law of that locality. 

Speed matters as well, did you think it didn't    The faster you go, the probability you will die or kill someone in a crash inches closer to 100%.

Yes you would be endangering people on the 50mph road.  The people traveling on the 50mph and assuming they are following the posted limit, are under the assumption that others are as well so if an accident happened with the person traveling 10mph more would statistically cause more harm than two cars traveling at 50mph.

Also if you traveled slower on the 70mph, you would endanger yourself more.

Currently BTC2.25 plus shipping (BTC.50)

I would prefer not to ship out of the U.S.   Depending on your order size, I might make and exception. You can see on usps.com for rates , it will ship from Seattle, Washington.

Thank you for the kind words.  You were a pleasure to work with as well.

My signature contains my transaction history and if you use otc then you could of looked up my name.   Problem is most customers don't use otc or my rating would be much higher. 

Two more sold.

Sold two more.

Then by that reasoning you are only as free as you can defend.  I believe this to be true and that is why people decided to form governments so they weren't ruled by RANDOM THUGS.  This is why a step back away from a form of government is regressive in fact.

I would much rather know my thugs and have checks and balances.   You all complain that they don't work, look at us now, HOW MANY OF YOU actually do something like protest, go to your reps office, write an actually letter (not email), call a TV station?   Very few and it shows, most people care more about themselves and their oh so important social lives.  Doesn't matter.  It is coming to a head soon and we will see where people stand and what they will do.  

I watched intently and in the first two weeks there was two gentlemen that were put up as leaders of the movement and in the official forum there was atleast not much disagreement that they are at least coordinating action for Occupy.  In all of their initially interviews they continued to state that there was many messages and Occupy could mean what each person wanted it too.  That sounds like a unified message of nothing.  It was obvious what the correct answer was and if they had any sense, they would of said it over and over again until the issue would not of been dodged.  Instead there was infighting about how this should be the start some new leaderless form of organization and I watched exactly how they went.   

The main people with any system of organization is that in the end, it will need to be run by humans and unless you luck out and actually get someone who actually sticks to his word, has common sense and listens to the people and can balance all these and make the just decision.   It will keep falling into the hands of incompetents. 

Count Sparkle - Congratulations!!!!!  I believe you may be our first "Political Sock-puppet" account.   AND you're a AnCap supporter Applause all the way around.  Gotta love the account created on Dec 19th and then almost immediately starts posting in here, just to support your fringe ideal.   Has too much reality and logic been hitting AnCap too much lately for you to start making up new supporters?
 

^^^ The above post talks about the importance of an impartial 3rd party to judge criminal and civil infractions.   

What was interesting was AnCap's solution was that people would all volunteer to arbitration but it was made clear that people who didn't "volunteer" to arbitrate then they would likely find few people to trade with.   Interesting concept is "voluntary".  I sure felt like I had a choice.
