Ron Paul Keeps His Foot on the Throat on The Federal Reserve


Once again our spineless and criminal House of "Representatives" has voted to float billions of dollars to a bunch of robber barons - at the expense of an American public that increasingly cannot afford to eat, pay rent, buy medicines, and have some level of base entertainment all in the same month.

By a vote of 237-170, the House voted last night to approve $14 billion to rescue the archaic U.S. auto industry in what promises to be the Wall Street bailout on a smaller scale - enough money to artificially inflate the markets, keep the public from devolving into chaos, and pay the corporate executives millions in year-end bonuses.

http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_11190475?source=rss

As always, Congressman Ron Paul was front and center during the House bailout debate to buck the puppet line and refresh everyone as to the true root of our current economic Armageddon.

“If you look at the grand problem we have it’s much much bigger,” said Paul. "We spend more money, we run up more debt, we print more money, and we think that’s going to solve the problem that was created by spending too much money, running up debt, printing too much money and here we are today.

“[The Federal Reserve] create[s] this money and when the Fed chairman comes before our committee we ask, 'where did you dispose of this $2 trillion dollars that you’ve created recently,' he says 'well it’s not your business;' he doesn’t even have to tell us.”

http://www.prisonplanet.com/ron-paul-printing-money-only-prolongs-the-pain.html

Dr. Paul also added that the creation of over $8 trillion dollars in government obligations by the Federal Reserve evaded the audit of Congress - which, incidentally, is completely unconstitutional.

Back in September, Congressman Paul stated that Bernanke and former Fed Chair Alan Greenspan - among others - should be brought up on criminal charges for their part in the destruction of the U.S. economy.

The issue and vote is now with the Senate - where you can be assured that the even more corrupt half of the Legislature will send the money through without a hitch.

The bottom line is this: until the public wakes up to how our monetary system really works, and until we have more Ron Pauls in Congress, more and more Fortune 1000 crooks are going to be cashing in on the dimes of the average struggling American.

Patriots, Truthers, and Real Americans Swarm the Federal Reserve

The "End the Fed" campaign may not soon alter the banking corruption we're currently enslaved by, but it certainly made itself loud and clear last Saturday with massive protests outside all 38 locations of the criminal, non-federal monetary cartel.

The protests happened to mark the 98th anniversary of the famed Jeckyll Island meeting that launched the Federal Reserve concept, and the 45th anniversary of the tragic assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Alex Jones was down near the infamous Grassy Knoll in Dallas to bullhorn the Federal Reserve branch there. Various video coverage can be found on YouTube. Here is one link, which in turn will connect to the rest:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fekzR-uDibM&feature=related

Congressman Ron Paul, the anti-Big Bank champion on Capitol Hill was in Houston on Saturday and gave yet another speech for the ages.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3qsJjTaekA8

Dr. Paul has proposed a bill demanding the end of the Federal Reserve and its Board of Governors (HR-2755). It was introduced nearly a year-and-a-half ago, and calls for abolishing the boards of governors of the Federal Reserve System and each individual Federal Reserve bank, and well as the repeal of the Federal Reserve Act.

http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-2755&tab=summary

Here's a great Q&A with Dr. Paul regarding the Federal Reserve:

http://www.prisonplanet.com/end-the-fed-qa-with-ron-paul.html

For more detailed info, visit the aforementioned links, or simply type "federal reserve protests" into google. There are hundreds of links to blogs, newsgroups, and the main pages of major media publications from Jacksonville to San Antonio to Salt Lake City.

The mainstream minions covered next to nothing of the massive protest(s), but more and more that signals success rather than failure. The bigger the crowd, the louder the voice, the more dire the threat to the New World Order - the more pronounced the media blackout.

As still is the case within the 9/11 Truth movement, not all factions of the End the Fed campaign necessarily agree on a central thesis or a solution. The fulcrum and importance, however, is that what we have is wrong and criminal, and in the immediate short term, we need massive change.

Fed: "We're Going to Rob You, and There's Nothing You Can Do About It"


Neel Kashkari, Interim Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Stability, and former big shot at Goldman Sachs, went before the House Banking Committee yesterday, and was ripped a new one. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122668748980128877.html?mod=googlenews_wsj

Sitting for hours with a bald head and disgustingly smug smile, Kashkari basically made a joke of our Constitution and our governmental setup. He did, however, get exposed as an elitist puppet joke by reps Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Darrell Issa (R-CA), and Elijah Cummings (D-MD).

"It's not a stimulus, it's not an economic growth plan,"Kashkari told lawmakers. "It's an economic stabilization plan."

As if, Neel. Congressman Kucinich responded, “I think it’s fairly obvious that Congress would have never passed the [rescue plan] had it known how Treasury would marshal the resources it was given.”

Kucinich had a great battle with the global banking elite puppet as well.

http://www.infowars.com/?p=5973

“I assure you the secretary is passionate about this,” Kashkari said.

“Passionate about what?” Kucinich said.

“About helping homeowners,” Kashkari replied.

“Where?” Kucinich asked, sarcastically. “What country?”

“We are using all the tools available to ease the credit crises,” Kashkari said. “Let me give you an example…”

Kucinich interrupted Kashkari and continued his harangue.

“Maybe this is a game to some people in the administration. They’re on their way out of office and they can do whatever they want,” said Kucinich who tried to launch impeachment proceedings against Bush. “Meanwhile, people are hoping against hope” for help with their mortgages.


Rep. Cummings blasted Kashkari for the agenda of helping banks while abandoning consumers.

“This administration wants to privatize Wall Street’s gains and socialize Wall Street’s losses,” he said.

Congressman Kuncinich, a leading fighter of tyranny, had this to say, "Secretary Paulson’s policy reversal breaks with Congressional intent, contradicts public assurances previously made by Treasury, and leaves the federal government without an adequate mechanism to stem a tide of home foreclosures."

As Alex Jones said on his Friday show, Kashkari - along with Secretary Paulson and others - needs to be arrested immediately.

Alright, Lord Obama, Let's See Some "Real Change"

We've heard it for months. Two extremely bland words strung together to convey and connote absolutely nothing. Real. Change.

Of course the mesmerized public bought the siren song wholesale, and here we are - saddled with a president who's accomplished nothing politically, who completely phoned in his public service in the Senate for the past year - barely casting a single vote - and when he did, it was to support the criminal Wall Street bailout, and fall in lock step with the Neo-Cons.

So while Barack Obama emptily promises change, what it is that he really should do beginning in January to truly affect change?

Paul Joseph Watson at Prison Planet laid it out perfectly in a great article this morning. He called Obama out with laser like efficiency.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/will-obama-change-the-bush-police-state-or-expand-it.html

"Let’s be generous and give Obama the whole four years of his initial term to make significant progress on the following issues," Watson writes. "Here are some questions about 'change' that we are going to be keeping track of until 2012. "


- Will Obama repeal Patriot Acts I and II as well as reversing Bush’s signing statement and acknowledging the repeal of the John Warner Defense Authorization Act?

- Will Obama support Dennis Kucinich’s efforts to bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for deceiving the country into a war or will he protect them against such charges like Nancy Pelosi has done?

- Will Obama bring war crimes charges against Bush, Cheney and others for authorizing torture and will the torture of suspects under U.S. detention, a complete violation of both the Constitution and the Geneva Conventions, cease under an Obama administration?

- Will Obama withdraw American troops from Iraq and Afghanistan without sending them away again to bomb another broken-backed third world country in the name of a UN-supported “humanitarian” war?

- Will Obama end the warrantless secret surveillance and phone-taps of American citizens?

- Will Obama follow through on his rhetorical support for the second amendment or will he seek to ban guns as he did in Illinois?

- Will Obama cease his support for the Bush-administration backed banker bailouts, hated by the majority of Americans, and target the real cause of the problem - the Federal Reserve - or will he continue to give taxpayers’ money to banks who are merely hoarding it all for themselves?

- Will Obama seek to continue the militarization of America and preparations for martial law through Northcom and the secret government or will he dismantle the police state that has been constructed over the last eight years by the Bush administration?

Great job as always by Watson. Let us just hope that we'll continue to be able to read articles at Prison Planet and write blogs like this one come next year - without being labeled a terrorist, anti-American, or sadly, even a racist.

With the way the public reacted last night, you'd have thought Christ, Muhammed, Yahweh, Beelzebub, Marvin the Martian, or whoever folks worship, had landed in Chicago's Grant Park. It was scary.

Now let me be clear. I completely understand the joy black voters must have felt. They've waited a long time for this, and they deserve to rejoice in the moment. However, it was the reaction of the white voters that was so disturbing. You'd have thought they just had their own 200-year-old slate cleaned. And based on what? Absolutely nothing but blind, mindless worship. These are folks who while hating Bush and his policies will now love the same agenda over the next four years.

Oh, and Revered Jackson, you piece of garbage, get one thing straight. Anyone in the know is well aware you couldn't care less about black people. You care about money and your fake image. Take your crocodile tears and drown them - along with yourself - in Lake Michigan.

Some Congressional Races of Note

While the entire globe is mesmerized and diverted from reality by the dog and pony show of Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin, there are hundreds of congressional races taking place tomorrow as well; battles that are unquestionably more important than the puppet play at the forefront of the 24/7 cable "news" propaganda sessions.

At face, I believe that at least 95 percent of incumbent members of Congress should be voted out. They comprise a pack of cowardly criminals that on the Right have fell lock step with the Neo-Cons, and on the Left, have completely betrayed their base after the 2006 Congressional election shakeup - failing to stand up to the Neo-Cons and playing - to a tee - the flip side of an evil coin.

The complete support and promotion of two illegal wars. The support (albeit under the duress of Martial Law - yes, and don't roll your eyes) for the immoral Wall Street bailout. The perpetuation of illegal spying on the American people. And on and on and on.

http://www.infowars.net/articles/october2008/031008Sherman.htm

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Representatives-Were-Threa-by-Patrick-Henningsen-081004-301.html

Still, there are a few incumbents who not only should keep their job but who truly are champions of the constitution and the American people. There are also a few challengers who we should all hope steal the day.

Naturally, everyone - regardless of their party, location, platform, et. al - have their own slate of races they consider important. I'm not downplaying any congressional races here, only pointing out those which I feel most strongly about. Others should certainly do the same. The races I note -for the most part - are not competitive one way or the other. All the same, they mean something great to me personally.

1) Texas, 14th District - Dr. Ron Paul is running for his 11th term as a United States Representative after a historic presidential run - raising nearly $5 million while being completely blacked out by the MSM. There is no Democratic challenger (they weren't dumb enough to waste even $1 to trot one out against the Ron Paul Revolution). There are three Independent candidates, and while I support Independent candidates' campaigns - in theory - in 99% of scenarios, don't even try to mess with the Good Doctor. He's proven himself not only a people's champion outside of Texas, outside of the so-called Right Wing, and outside of the mainstream Republican Party, but outside of the entire criminal government currently enslaving us.

2) Ohio, 10th District - Dennis Kucinich appears safe to retain his seat against GOP challenger Jim Trakas, despite a myriad of money and lies leveled at the House's leading maverick. Kucinich has had an outstanding 2008. Not only did he throw his hat into a fruitless presidential fight against establishment shills Clinton and Obama, but he has tirelessly fought on the House floor for the impeachment of both George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Like Ron Paul, he also voted twice against the "bailout."

3) New Jersey, 5th District - Incumbent Neo-Con piece of filth Scott Garrett needs to go. There is no more plain and truthful way to put it. During the past year I moved from NJ-5 to NJ-9, but have not changed my registration info. Thus, I will return to NJ-5 to vote against Garrett. In short, if you need the skinny on him, visit http://retiregarrett.blogspot.com/.

4) Minnesota, U.S. Senate - Talk about a carnival. Here you have incumbent Neo-Con trash Norm Coleman pitted against semi-amusing comedian Al Franken. A parade of fools if we've ever seen one. Well, enter Dean Barkley - an independent who has actually served two months in the U.S. Senate. He was appointed by then-Governor Jesse Ventura to serve out the stint of Paul Wellstone after the bizarre and convenient plane crash of 2002. As of late last week, Barkley was polling between 17 and 20 percent, and had received around $40,000 in donations from listeners of the Alex Jones Show after a dual appearance by Barkley and Ventura on the show. Barkley has a real shot tomorrow.

5) New Jersey, 9th District - Incumbent Dem Steve Rothman is a pretty good guy. I covered him for two years (1999-2001) during my stint in North Jersey journalism, and he really did get a whole lot of positive stuff done for his constituency. He voted against the bailout on the first go-around and for it on the second, but as I mentioned above, there was the threat of Martial Law. In fairness, I think you can only judge the House members on their first vote for that reason alone. He is my current Rep, but he's pretty much a lock to win. I'd rather go back "home" and vote against Garrett.

Must-Do's for Tuesday's Election

As voters prepare to flood polling stations for Tuesday's general election, here is a checklist of what any patriotic, liberty and constitution-loving American needs to keep in mind.

1) Vote for Anyone other than McCain or Obama - unlike in previous elections there are a number of viable third-party choices out there. You have Chuck Baldwin (Constitution Party), Ralph Nader (Independent), Cynthia McKinney (Green Party), and to a much lesser extent, Bob Barr (Libertarian Party - though not really). This is probably the worst major-party duo we've had to choose from in recent memory. All major polls show that the public is fed up with both the GOP and the Dems. Well, it's time to show them. Vote third party. Even if you're like me and the candidate you've supported for the past two years (Ron Paul) isn't on the ballot, make the so-called third party choice. And by the way, Dr. Paul IS on the ballot in Montana and Louisiana.

2) Aside from Ron Paul and Dennis Kuncinich (and possibly a handful of others), vote out EVERY incumbent - Republican, Democrat, it doesn't matter. Anyone who's held a congressional seat in recent years - aside from a very few exceptions - is a complete criminal who has helped destroy the United States. From rubber stamping the illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to voting for the immoral and illegal bailout of the Wall Street crooks, these puppets of the New World Order ALL need to go.

3) Vote for any progressive ballot initiatives that buck the mainstream trend - i.e. - Proposition 5 in California, known as the Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act (or NORA) Proposition 5 Requires California to expand and increase funding and oversight for individualized treatment and rehabilitation programs for nonviolent drug offenders and parolees; reduces criminal consequences of nonviolent drug offenses by mandating three-tiered probation with treatment and by providing for case dismissal and/or sealing of records after probation; limits court’s authority to incarcerate offenders who violate probation or parole; shortens parole for most drug offenses, including sales, and for nonviolent property crimes; creates numerous divisions, boards, commissions, and reporting requirements regarding drug treatment and rehabilitation; changes certain marijuana misdemeanors to infractions.

4) Tell the truth in exit polls - Exit polls are a great way to expose voter/election fraud. They helped immensely in 2000 and 2004 to show that who folks say they voted for did not reconcile with "official" results.

At the end of the day, we're going to have either Obama or McCain - probably Obama - and that is going to be a nightmare. However, the success of the Ron Paul revolution over the past year-and-a-half has shown how close we are to breaking the "two-party" system. Producing a record amount of votes for third-party candidates on Tuesday will continue to derail the establishment's agenda.

Could "Bailout" Be Code for "World War III"?

According to Paul Watson at Prison Planet, Chinese mainstream news outlets today reported that the RAND Corporation recently presented a proposal to the Pentagon in which it lobbied for war with a major foreign power in an attempt to stimulate the American economy. This on the heels of recent proclamations from Joe Biden, Colin Powell, Michael Chertoff, and others that Barack Obama will face a major crisis immediately after taking office, as well as the U.S.-Israeli sneak attack on Russia through Georgia back in August.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/rand-lobbies-pentagon-start-war-to-save-us-economy.html

Allegedly these foreign media sources - there was a French language report as well - are claiming that RAND suggested the $700 billion dollars that has been earmarked to bailout the Wall Street crooks be used instead to finance a new war - thereby reinvigorating the U.S. markets and economy.

Among the nations considered possible U.S. targets: China, Russia, Iran and even Japan. This is very disturbing when taken in combination with the recent fear mongering about a post-inauguration crisis. Don't forget, Russia-obsessed maniac Zbigniew Brzezinski is always lurking in the shadows of the Obama camp, and the shift from the Neo-Con Middle East focus to a Central Asia/Eurasia/Asia Proper campaign is already quite evident.

http://911trutheddie.blogspot.com/2008/10/talibanal-qaeda-split-ominous-sign-for.html

Paul Watson also pointed out that the RAND corporation has deep ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex as well as connections with the Ford, Rockefeller, and Carnegie foundations. Current directors of RAND include Frank Charles Carlucci III, former Defense Secretary and Deputy Director of the CIA, Ronald L. Olson, Council on Foreign Relations member and former Secretary of Labor, and Carl Bildt, top Bilderberg member and former Swedish Prime Minister.

That's some pretty upstanding company, huh?

Notable as well is that as of late this afternoon, there was no English-speaking media story or broadcast about these developments. No surprise there.

Who knows at this point what's going on here, but it's certainly pretty damn scary. Rest assured Prison Planet will be keeping a close eye on any developments.

Ron Paul: Suddenly a Media Darling?


It's great to see Dr. Ron Paul on the cable news shows so much lately, but at the same time, it's so infuriating. During the run of Republican primaries and primary debates, Dr. Paul was nowhere to be found in polls, news shows, and debate face time. The corporate shills at CNN/FOX/MSNBC, et al. deliberately blacked him out. Now, he's a regular and just about every other day you turn around and there's Ron Paul again talking about the economy.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/24/ron.paul.economy/index.html

It makes perfect sense of course. Ron Paul is a economic mastermind and fiery critic of the banks, the criminal private Federal Reserve, and our monetary system. He knows exactly what he speaks of, and unlike most, he tells the truth when it comes to where we are financially, how we got here, and where we're headed.

If only the talking heads paid him so much attention over the past year and a half. We might just have finished watching three debates of Dr. Paul making Lord Obama look ridiculous.

This morning was the Congressman's most recent appearance on CNN, when he once again denounced our current monetary system, calling it "fraudulent."

"We created this problem," Dr. Paul said. "The Federal Reserve created this. The Community Reinvestment Act created it. The FDIC created it. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac created it."

Congressman Paul probably gets more airtime in a jam-packed morning show nowadays than every minute of time allotted him in every primary debate strung together. Remember when that piece of trash Anderson Cooper cut Dr. Paul off after roughly half of a 30-second answer?

And as always, CNN host John Roberts ended this morning's interview by saying, "Congressman Paul, it's always good to see you."

Yeah, but it wasn't so great to see the Good Doctor when valuable CNN exposure may have made a difference in voters' minds now, was it, John?

Terrorizing Harbingers?

The modus operandi of the week? Prepare Americans' mental and emotional states for the next "terror attack."

According to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, war criminal Colin Powell, and Vice Prez candidate Joe Biden, something big is looming on the horizon if Barack Obama were to be elected two weeks from today. One might think Chertoff and Powell were endorsing McCain, and that Biden had completely gone off the reservation. However, this is almost assuredly a subtle attempt to plant the idea of an upcoming "terror attack" in the minds of the American public. One that would result in Obama swooping in to be our "savior" and launch yet another illegal and illogical attack on a soverign foreign nation.

After all, with the election debates, Sarah Palin's embarrassing appearance on Saturday Night Live, and the state of the economy, the run of the mill idiot voter probably hasn't spent much time lately searching their bathtub and cupboards for guys in beards and turbans before they go to sleep.

Enter more manufactured fear.

First we have Secretary Chertoff. He says "the U.S. may be vulnerable to a terrorist attack during the next six months, with violent groups more likely to try to take advantage of a new president and administration."

http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=auIWPps4p6cg&refer=home

Then there's Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, who says that during Obama's first six months as Prez, "the world [will test] Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy." The Kennedy reference has to do with the narrowly averted Bay of Pigs disaster of course. And naturally this is what Biden chooses to cite, and what the media pigs choose to run with. Not the horrific track record in recent years of presidential terms beginning with "terror."

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/20/biden-obama-tested-world-months-administration/

First we have the initial attempt to blow up the World Trade Center in 1993 - at this point, no question an inside job.

http://whatreallyhappened.com/RANCHO/POLITICS/OK/wtcbomb.html

Conveniently, this occurred a month and six days after Bill Clinton's inauguration.

Fast forward to 9/11/2001. I won't even bother to post links here. That would be insulting to anyone with a brain. But for the record, it took place seven months and 22 days after Dubbya's inauguration.

Now for the horrific 7/7 bus/train bombings in London (and don't think for a second that whatever happens in the U.S. and Britain isn't eternally linked between the two). That took place on 7/7/05. Exactly five months and 17 days after Bush was sworn in for the second time.

http://www.infowars.net/articles/december2005/201205finalfinalword.htm

Then there's Colin Powell. Bear in mind he should be in jail (or even dead, for that matter, via execution) for playing such a major role in the WMD lie that has killed nearly 4200 U.S. troops, millions of Iraqis, and God knows what other ultimate disasters. Instead, he's still looming, and came out in support of Obama and had this to say:

"The problems will always be there and there’s going to be a crisis which will come along on the 21st, 22nd of January that we don’t even know about right now."

http://www.infowars.com/?p=5461

Fear mongering at its finest from all of these crooks. Let us hope that over the next few months we find a way to derail what is looming.

Ron Paul Lays Out How Simplistically Horrible the Bailout Is

Congressman Ron Paul was back on CNN this morning talking again about the criminal bailout. The talking heads were trying to get Dr. Paul to shift on his positions given that the crooks on Capitol Hill "tweaked it [the bailout plan] and decided to buy stakes in some U.S. banks."

I guess Dr. Paul did move a little from statements he made the last time he was on CNN - he emphatically said the bill is worse now than in its previous incarnation.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/10/17/ron.paul.qa/

Ron Paul is no doubt a brilliant economic mind. However, it doesn't take anywhere near brilliance to see the catastrophic pitfalls in what is going on here. Dr. Paul was able to sum up the whole mess with extremely succinct points. For example, he pointed out that the bailout is asking [though I would say enforcing via economic martial law] the poor to get the rich off of the hook. He explained that all of their "tweaks" have turned a $700-billion donation to the robber barrons into what will ultimatly cost Americans $5 trillion. The $5 trillion figure has been out there for a while now, of course nowhere to be found on the cable news shows or in the New York Times.

http://www.infowars.com/?p=4813

Perhaps the most obvious problem with this crookery is that paying for it will result in $6 loaves of bread and $10 gallons of milk. The money has to come from somewhere. Well, Dr. Paul laid that out, too.

He also repeated one of his favorite and truest lines, "If creating more money was the solution, nobody would ever have to work."

"This is going to cause a great deal of harm. It's like a drug addict taking a strong fix, and he feels better for a day or two, but believe me, we're going to kill the patient, Paul said. "And the patient here is the dollar system and our entire world economy. I would say let's get off this addiction."

All Fun and Games When You're Part of the Establishment


In a disgusting display of hubris and complete lack of caring for suffering Americans, Barack Obama and John McCain broke bread, laughed at each other - themselves and anything else -and looked like complete buffoons last night at Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner to benefit Catholic charities in New York.



While Americans are losing their jobs, their homes, and struggling to feed themselves, these two elitist pigs used the guise of a fundraiser and "roast," to hob knob with the jet set and match senses of humor.

I'm not supporting either of these clowns, so I don't particularly take this personally, but I think supporters of both men should be highly insulted and feel rather betrayed. After all, most voters believe their candidate cares about them and their problems.

We're 18 days away from choosing of these guys to be our next leader - during arguably the worst time for this nation in the past 100 years. Yet once again they've proven their nothing more than opposite sides of the same coin, interested in nothing but coming up with hardly witty things like:

"I can't shake that feeling that some people here are pulling for me," McCain said, turning to the far side of the stage. "I'm delighted to see you here tonight, Hillary."

McCain said that his rival was not fazed by being called, "That one," during the second presidential debate. "He doesn't mind at all,” McCain said, “in fact, he even has a pet name for me: George Bush.”

"I do love the Waldorf Astoria,” Obama said. “I hear from the doorstep you can see all the way to the Russian Tea Room." It prompted much laughter from McCain.

“Contrary to the rumors you have heard, I was not born in a manger,” Obama said. “I was actually born on Krypton and sent here by my father Jor-El to save the planet Earth.”

Wow. We're in BIG trouble.

11-22-08 - END THE FED!

Protests will be held outside of each of the 38 criminal Federal Reserve hideouts on November 22 - 98 years after the Creature From Jeckyll Island was conceived, and 45 years to the day that President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

The movement - entitled End the Fed - will attempt to bring further attention to the criminal and unconstitional monetary practices that have completely devalued our dollar and are bringing our country to its knees.

Among those endorsing the protest(s) are Gov. Jesse Ventura, Sen. Mike Gravel, G. Edward Griffin, author of The Creature from Jeckyll Island, and William Lewis, creator of the documentary, Washington, You're Fired.

You can find out more about the events, learn more about the Federal Reserve, and join the action at: http://endthefed.us/. Also, check out the End the Fed blog at: http://endthefed.blogspot.com/.

Paul's Common Sense Against Bush's Talking Points - Yet Again

I really have nothing new to say about the U.S. Markets, the bailout of the Robber Barrons, and the complete criminality going on except that it's so pathetic we still have shills on the TV telling us we're not going to be able to avoid a "recession."

We're already in a recession, perhaps a depression, you jackasses! How much longer can the meadia shills - and the networks they work for - continue to inject their positions, without justificaton from the Markets or the truly knowlegable economists?

Instead, just listen to Ron Paul talk about it all - in plain truth yet again. Unlike the typhoon of lies and propaganda put forth by the Congress, the MSM and the White House, he lays out the real deal of what's going on - despite how scarey and unpopular that may be.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfvMTsKn_Bc&eurl=http://911trutheddie.blogspot.com/

The mainstream shills are going to continue to lie, but we've reached a point where they are so easily exposed. This bailout has incinerated many of them - fortunately. Perhaps we'll now start to get some REAL media coverage - but I doubt we're quite there yet.

Listen to George Bush's standard line of bull at : http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/politics/2008/10/10/bush.global.markets.cnn

Now That They're Completely Busted, Bernanke Tells the Truth - Partially


Yesterday's mega-collapse in the global markets seems to have possibly shaken up the criminal banking elite a bit. Even with all of their hubris, they seem to know the bailout has been exposed as fradulent, unconstitutional, and of no value to the common citizen - despite what they publicly contend. The crooks have gone way too far, and it's time for a little damage control.

Enter Ben Bernanke - the wretched little lackey of the bankers and robber barrons - who if there were any justice would be headed off to prison for a very long time, very soon. The Fed chairman today said the current economic crisis is likely to restrain the economy well into next year. Wow, Ben, how prophetic.


Of course, he's still spewing all sorts of lies, doublespeak, and rhetoric, but at least he sort of admitted the truth. This doesn't, however, change the fact he's been a bald-faced lying piece of trash the whole rest of the time, and as Ron Paul said recently, he and Alan Greenspan should be brought up on criminal charges.

Since Bernanke took over the Fed in 2006, no legitimate economic forecaster or member of Congress contended that the economy was strong, or our economic policies sound. From Ron Paul to former Deputy Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts, all those with economic knowledge and a caring for our dollar and our country were warning of huge dangers ahead. All the while, Bernake was saying things like:

"We at the Federal Reserve will do all that we can to prevent fraud and abusive lending and to ensure that lenders employ sound underwriting practices and make effective disclosures to consumers." - 5/27/07

"It is not the responsibility of the Federal Reserve - nor would it be appropriate - to protect lenders and investors from the consequences of their financial decisions." - 8/31/07

"The Federal Reserve takes responsible lending and consumer protection very seriously." - 9/20/07

"I think we need to keep in mind also that the economy does have inherent strengths and that those will certainly surface over a period of time." - 1/17/08





Lies and deceit. One sound bite after the next. These aren't 1/1000th of it.

Well, it's too late now, Ben. You can't all of a sudden say something true, and expect to be seen as someone who cares and is for the people. In the same way that an apology doesn't make a murder acceptable.

Ron Paul: Bailout Bill "Unconstitutional"


Speaking immediately after today's catastrophic passing of the bailout bill in the House, Ron Paul said that - among other things - the bill was unconstitutional.

"This time the bill was much worse," Paul said. "It's amazing. You take a very very bad bill, you take it back out, and you make it much worse. It tells you a little bit about what's going on here in Washington.

"The one very bad part of this bill was the fact that the tax portion of this bill was written by the Senate, and under the Constitution, only the House can originate tax bills. So that in itself was unconstitutional.

"But it's been done before and it will be done again. But that's just sort of the way things happen around here."

Congressman Paul added that the bill doesn't deal with the problem, and that it was simply symbolic of our overspending and over extension - "the absolute bankruptcy of this country."

Watch Dr. Paul's comments on the left hand side of this blog under Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty Feed, or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL-9CV-qbMw&eurl=http://911trutheddie.blogspot.com/.

In contrast, this morning's debate on the House floor saw Nancy Pelosi spewing lies, lauding over the House leaders on both sides for selling out their constituents, and celebrating that 57 members of Congress have no spine and switched their vote. Later in the afternoon, George Bush came out of his hole to tell us how much of a victory the vote was. Yeah, George, about as effective as a "Mission Accomplished."

And let's not forget that the "yay" side of this treason - in both the House and Senate - include the likes of Barack Obama, John McCain, Joe Biden, Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Jay Rockefeller (yes, David's nephew), John Boehner, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Joe Lieberman, Ted Stevens, and on and on and on with the most disgusting members of Congress.

Note: Dennis Kucinich kept his word - as always - and voted no.

It's Official: The General Public Gets Sold to the Robber Barrons

No surprise, the House backpeddaled earlier today and voted for the abhorrent bailout of the criminal Wall Street elite. By a 263-171 vote, our treasonous "representatives" slit our throats and transferred nearly a trillion dollars in debt from the books of the banks to the books of the government - in other words, your checkbook.

President Bush has already signed the bill into law, and now we can sit back and listen to the cable news shows tell us how great and necessary this was. I mean, the MSM can't even tell you the proper amount of this ridiculous bill. It's over $800 million after some adjustments, and they're still calling it $700 million! It's only way down in the article - if they say it at all - that they give the proper amount.

God help us.

Roll Call for Senate Bailout Vote

I guess it was too much to ask for two common sense votes in the same week.

After the House shot down the $700 billion golden parachute for the Wall Street crooks earlier this week, yesterday the Senate showed how pathetic it is in passing the bill by a whopping 74-25. This isn't overly surprising though. There are MAYBE a handful of admirable congresspeople, and they're basically ALL in the House.

As a New Jerseyan, I found it encouraging that a good number of N.J. Reps voted nay in the House. We went 0 for 2 in the Senate, however, in terms of doing the right thing.

The full bill can be viewed in PDF format at http://www.infowars.com/?p=5034.

Below is yesterday's roll call. And you can bet the House will be back tomorrow or very early next week to tilt a good number of its votes and send this to the Retard-in-Chief for the signoff, while he gives the nation that sub-moronic grin as he signs away more of our freedoms.

Beneath the Surface of the Bailout Charade

Has there EVER been a more blatant example of the Dems and GOP being both sides of the same coin than this week's bailout issue? Probably not.

Now, yes, a greater percentage of Republicans were against yesterday's bailout vote. However, if you look at the top tiers in each party and the public rhetoric they've been spewing, you'll see little difference. On the proponent side, you'll find Dems like Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and Barack Obama. The GOP supporters boast John Boehner, Tom Tancredo, John McCain, and yes, our fearless leader, George W. Bush. Take a look at this cross-section; it comprises both parts of the Legislative as well as the Executive branch. As I and thousands of other "alternative" bloggers and alternative media folks continue to contend - there's NO difference.

When Congress resumes on Thursday, I'm sure they'll pass this bailout. If not, they'll have it by some time this weekend. There is simply going to be too much pressure from the crooks on Wall Street to sway the less than twenty votes they need. But why? Because the media shills continue to lie and promote the globalist agenda? YES - for one thing.

Over the past couple of days, we've been subjected to such inane comments from the cable news folks as, 'the GOP has abandoned John McCain.'

Sure.

How about the fact that a good percentage of the GOP is backing off McCain, knows the perception is he's aligned with Bush, and knows that's suicide. Also, there's the contingent of Ron Paul Republicans (1.2 million strong in the GOP primaries) who under no circumstances will vote for McCain. Don't think for a second that the Republicans up for re-election don't know that.

In an interview yesterday just after the bailout bill's failure, Congressman Paul said that an overwhemling amount of emails from constituants opposing the debate had a lot to do with the outcome. Whether or not he's right, one would certainly hope so. It would mean more and more of the public is waking up to the crimes and games of the global central banks and the New World Order.

"It was different than anything i've experienced before," Paul said. "When they announced the vote, it was dead silence. It really shook up a lot of people. This is serious stuff."

Personally, I can't seem to get past how people can be so dumb as to not pick up on the activity of the fraudulent stock market. It doesn't own a dime, and the money is all with the corrupt corporations. It's a charade. However, despite the fact that NOTHING has changed in terms of policy or economic standing from one day to the next, the DJIA went from a 777-point drop to a 486-point gain in one day to the next?

After the bailout's defeat, Ron Paul was also quoted as saying, "the markets are down... but it's not really that drastic. We've seen days like that frequently. So it wasn't like the markets depended on this appropriation. My argument has been that if we voted for the money, the money and the market would get much worse."

This will be approved one way or the other. Frankly, I'm split. Not on the bailout, but on the initial effects and reactions.

One the one hand, I would love to see the Bernanke-loving yuppies lose everything they have. In the end, though, people like myself who have to come up with creative ways to pay the rent each month will be in the same boat as these smug morons.

Personally speaking, I work in a building in Midtown Manhattan with a number of these idiots - male and female. I see first-hand that because they and their spouses both make $90,000 a year that they think they're part of the establishement. And every time I have a two-minute elevator ride with one of them I force myself to keep my mouth shut.

At the end of the day, I can console myself because of one thing; I haven't - nor ever have had - a pot to piss in. They, on the other hand, have decided to dump money in various "retirement" accounts they will never see. They have carpet-bagged into this Metro-NY area and think they are in some way part of the globalist decision-making process. HA!

It will hurt us all the same in the end, but I'm glad that at least I know what's up.

Ron Paul on the House Floor

Here are video clips from yesterday's Bailout chaos. One is of Dr. Paul on the House floor emphatically restating how terrible an idea the bailout is. The second is an interview with the Congressman after the legislation was defeated.

Vote Results for the Bailout

I think it extremely important to see who voted aye and who voted no on today's criminal bailout bill. Our economy and country is going to hell in a hand basket either way, so this bailout is about the worst idea since the rogue government decided to hijack four planes on 9/11.

And by the way, take particular notice of the votes of Congressmen Paul and Kucinich.
