What you all need to know about the Federal Reserve

[The2ndAmendment]

So then the question is:

Can a regular citizen purchase a US Treasury Bond for $1,000 and turn it into $10,000? Or only the privileged banker class of citizens are allowed to do this? Are there two sets of rules?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Get your head out of your ass.
I fully support the 2nd Amendment, even though you're a moron.

Do you support the Patriot Act?
Corporate Fusion Centers?
The NDAA?
Do you believe that are rights and natural and unalienable, or government creates, permits, denies and disparages our rights (Ninth Amendment Litmus Test).
----------

Even Dianne Feinstein "says" she believes in the 2nd Amendment.
Do you believe that assault weapons should be banned? Clips should be limited in size? National Background Checks (as opposed to State or Local backround checks)? Mandatory million dollar insurance policies to carry a firearm? Obscene direct and indirect and hidden taxes?

How much of the 2nd Amendment do you support?

-------
Your responses to these questions will determine how I answer in the future.

If you are in agreement with all my views, then certainly you would then believe in returning to the Abraham Lincoln Greenbacks. Why must the government "borrow" dollars, instead of creating its own dollars interest free? Why do private bankers need to live off of unnecessary debt?

Your responses to these questions will determine how I answer in the future.

If I answer the right way, you won't be such a ******* moron in the future?

If you are in agreement with all my views,

I'd have to drop by IQ by at least 50% to agree with all your views.

then certainly you would then believe in returning to the Abraham Lincoln Greenbacks.

Why are they better than FRNs? Because you like higher inflation?
Or is there another reason?

Why must the government "borrow" dollars

Because they spend too damn much.

instead of creating its own dollars interest free?

Your method sure works for Zimbabwe, what could go wrong?

No. And neither can a bank.

I think about 20 years ago a seat on the trading exchange was an exorbitant amount of money, and a lot more than the $10,000 you were hoping to get with your $1,000. Just sayin.'

Pope Leo XIII
Leo XIII - Rerum Novarum

On the one side there is the party which holds power because it holds wealth; which has in its grasp the whole of labor and trade; which manipulates for its own benefit and its own purposes all the sources of supply, and which is not without influence even in the administration of the commonwealth. On the other side there is the needy and powerless multitude, sick and sore in spirit and ever ready for disturbance.

Rapacious usury, which, although more than once condemned by the Church, is nevertheless, under a different guise, but with like injustice, still practiced by covetous and grasping men. To this must be added that the hiring of labor and the conduct of trade are concentrated in the hands of comparatively few; so that a small number of very rich men have been able to lay upon the teeming masses of the laboring poor a yoke little better than that of slavery itself.

Pope Pius XI
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/p...f_p-xi_enc_19310515_quadragesimo-anno_en.html

In the first place, it is obvious that not only is wealth concentrated in our times but an immense power and despotic economic dictatorship is consolidated in the hands of a few, who often are not owners but only the trustees and managing directors of invested funds which they administer according to their own arbitrary will and pleasure.

This dictatorship is being most forcibly exercised by those who, since they hold the money and completely control it, control credit also and rule the lending of money. Hence they regulate the flow, so to speak, of the life-blood whereby the entire economic system lives, and have so firmly in their grasp the soul, as it were, of economic life that no one can breathe against their will.

For what will it profit men to become expert in more wisely using their wealth, even to gaining the whole world, if thereby they suffer the loss of their souls?[64] What will it profit to teach them sound principles of economic life if in unbridled and sordid greed they let themselves be swept away by their passion for property, so that "hearing the commandments of the Lord they do all things contrary."

inb4 ToddLoyalist says the Vatican publishes false quotes

Also inb4 they drop the Communism/Socialism bomb (Pope Pius XI):

If Socialism, like all errors, contains some truth (which, moreover, the Supreme Pontiffs have never denied), it is based nevertheless on a theory of human society peculiar to itself and irreconcilable with true Christianity. Religious socialism, Christian socialism, are contradictory terms; no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.

So I'm discovering the "bogus quotes" in the video are because of slight translation differences. The Pope quotes were being called bogus, but obviously they are not, u mad? You see, the Popes rarely give public speeches in English.

[EdwardBaiamonte]

no one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist

this is true since the a Catholic will be concerned with the individual while the socialist will be concerned with organizing individuals into a herd to do his bidding.

It just happens to be, by coincidence, that they are Jewish. Also Rothschild is native German for Red Shield.

The fact they are international Jew bankers is the whole point for many of those who rant against Central banks. That is exactly why you see their name in prominence in many of these rants.

This is anti-semitic propaganda as much as anti central bank.

Notice how even the death of Caesar is portrayed as a Jewish plot in the film. And the plunge into the Dark Ages is blamed on the Jews.

Bullshit!

Except for the resident USMB NAZIs, who will use any issue to spew their blather, nobody mentioned "the Jews".

It is appropriate to note the extent the Rothchild's used to control banking (and to whatever extent they still do).

the fact that they are Jews makes absolutely not difference to the complaint.

If you imnagine that we cannot mention a bad Jew, just BECAUSE he is a jew, well then it's you racism showing there, amigo, not ours.

The issue is the WAY our banking system ***** the people,

That isn't about Jews.

Save your anger for people who are obviously jew haters and leave the rest of us to speak openly about whomsoever needs discussion.

interesting that when the Bank of the United States failed in 1930 many think it started the Depression and many think it was not bailed out because it was Jewish. There's a case where anti-semitism may have really hurt us badly.

You did not watch the film, obviously. They clearly blame the jews for Caesar's assassination in the film, as well as the assassination of Lincoln.

Pay attention. You will find a lot of anti-semetic sentiment in the anti-Federal Reserve circles.

The issue is the WAY our banking system ***** the people,

it pays 0% interest and screws us out of $400 billion a year in interest, but thats because of liberal misregulation, not the banking system.
