Washington Post Goes Hysterical as Ron Paul Tries to Drive Stake into Heart of Federal Reserve
It was enlightening to see the pathetic “editorial” in The Washington Post which attacked the idea the Federal Reserve needs to be reined in, and that an audit of the Fed, as proposed by an amendment introduced by Texas Republican Ron Paul, would be devastating to the ability of the secretive and arrogant organization to [...]
Democrats Continue to Push Fascist Banking Regulation Agenda
Democrats continue their controversial slide away from liberty and freedom, as they move toward a fascist government, which they seek to embed in the economic system of America. Fascism, as Paxton wrote, deals with a “form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, [...]
Jim Rogers: “The Fed is making our lives miserable … Audit It, Then Abolish It”
Saying the Federal Reserve is the only institution in the world he knows of that isn’t audited, famed investor and author Jim Rogers said in an interview, “It’s incomprehensible to me these people are saying they have no reason to be audited — they must have done something wrong, must have something to hide.” This [...]
Keynesian College Economist Weenies Come to Aid of Their Hero Ben Bernanke in Opposition to Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed Bill
Evidently reading a script that was probably written by Ben Bernanke himself, a small number of college economists wrote a letter to the Senate Banking Committee and House Financial Services Committee saying the tired, worn out old line that if the Government Accountability Office audits the Federal Reserve, it would cause serious harm to the [...]
Will Ron Paul Vote Against His Own Bill to Audit the Federal Reserve?
Washington has been so out of touch with principles and reality for so long, that they probably think voting for the bill initiated by Ron Paul to edit the Federal Reserve would be political feather in the cap of Ron Paul. But it looks like that isn’t going to be so, as it wasn’t allowed [...]
Ben Bernanke Lectures Gordon Brown and Britain in Hopes of Maintaining Status Quo at Federal Reserve
Ben Bernanke is looking more anemic and pathetic every day that goes by, as now the disastrous Chairman of the Federal Reserve, in an attempt to shore up his position at the Federal Reserve, and the Federal Reserve itself, is using Gordon Brown as a scapegoat in an attempt to make it look like his [...]
U.S. Senator Jim DeMint Will Hold Bernanke Nomination Until Senate Votes on Auditing the Federal Reserve
Things were definitely not boring at the confirmation hearing of beleaguered Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke today, where he stood before the Senate Banking Committee to decide on whether he would be awarded a second four-year term as head of the secretive agency. One of those interesting moments came when U.S. Senator Jim DeMint (R-South [...]
Former Fed Governor Frederic Mishkin Says the Federal Reserve Being Held Accountable for its Actions is “Incredibly Dangerous”
Didn’t he say it that way? Actually, yes he did, just using different words. In a Bloomberg Radio interview, Mishkin stated: “It is remarkable the kind of attacks that are occurring on Fed independence.” Think of that in terms of the economic crisis we’re in. It makes you feel good that the Federal Reserve was [...]
Senator Bernie Sanders To Vote Against Renomination of Ben Bernanke
Saying the Ben Bernanke is “part of the problem,” Senator Bernie Sanders said on Sunday that he will definitely vote against nominating Bernanke for a second term as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Ben Bernanke Fears Ron Paul’s Audit Above All Else
In a recent and unusual action, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke wrote a column in a newspaper, in this case the online version of the Washington Post, which attempted to undermine the legislation initiated by Ron Paul to at minimum require that the Federal Reserve be fully audited by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Some [...]
Congressmen Ron Paul and Alan Grayson Announce Amendment Based on HR 1207 Passes in Financial Services Committee
Concerns were raised after highly supported HR 1207 was gutted by Mel Watts, who offered a version of the bill so different as to not to be taken seriously, in response, Congressmen Ron Paul and Alan Grayson added an amendment to HR 3996, which Paul says, if passed, “will grant sweeping new powers to the [...]
Ron Paul: Bank-Connected Democrat Mel Watt Strips H.R. 1207 of Almost Everything
With most Americans outraged over the behavior of the Federal Reserve and the part it has played in the bailouts of huge institutions in the financial and automotive industries, Ron Paul introduced H.R. 1207, which would have required a full audit of the Federal Reserve and its activities, which crosses international lines. According to Rep. [...]
Support for Ron Paul’s Audit of the Federal Reserve Grows: Over 300 Co-sponsors Now on Board
Understanding that the highly secretive Federal Reserve has had a major role in undermining the value of the U.S. dollar, and unregulated and unaccountable non-government agency had pretty much done whatever it has wanted almost since its inception in 1913, a consensus in growing in the U.S. House that the agency must be reined in [...]
Editorial: Everyone Needs a Strong U.S. Dollar? – Too Late!
Listening to the financial leaders of the Group of Seven as they head to Istanbul for talks saying there is a need for a strong U.S. dollar, is ludicrous in the face of the practices of the central banks across the globe, and specifically the Federal Reserve and Ben Bernanke who haven’t stopped the printing [...]
Editorial: Bernanke Caves on Obama’s Provision of Adding More Power to the Fed – Is it Real or a Ploy?
Growing pressure on the beleaguered Federal Reserve has Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke backpedaling on his original desire to see the Federal Reserve invested with even more power concerning oversight of “systemic risk.” Even in the midst of immense pressure and criticism in not recognizing the crisis, along with how they’ve handled it, it’s puzzling [...]
Testimony from Federal Reserve Lawyer Scott Alvarez: Another Reason to Rein in the Federal Reserve
In what I consider an astounding and clear admission from the General Counsel of the Federal Reserve, Scott Alvarez, he admitted if the ongoing push to audit the Federal Reserve becomes a reality, “Foreign central banks and governments likely would be less willing to engage in financial transactions with the Federal Reserve if these transactions [...]
Sarah Palin: “Government Cause of Financial Crisis”
Sarah Palin went on the economic offensive in a speech in Hong Kong, where she spoke to a group of executives and bankers about her take on the causes behind the economic turmoil across the globe, blaming the excesses of the government as the source of the problem. The former Governor of Alaska asserted that [...]
Editorial: Federal Reserve Out of Control – Rejects Another Public Review
The more the Federal Reserve digs in and resists or rejects all attempts at reviews, the more damning the idea becomes that they have something to hide. This time they rejected a request from Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner for a public review of the structure and governance of the institution. When you consider the sole [...]
Editorial: Will European Banking Regulators Soon Be Running American Banks?
The recent proposal by the Federal Reserve to assign itself powers to continue to interfere in the free markets provides another reason they seriously need to be reined in, and why, as Ron Paul says, we must “End the Fed.” Even with their unprecedented grab for more power, there is a growing opposition to their [...]
Editorial: Entangling Alliances: Another Reason the Federal Reserve Needs to be Abolished
There are many reasons why the Federal Reserve, at minimum, needs to be audited, and eventually, needs to be shut down. One of those reasons is the secret dealings it has with foreign nations’ central banks, which are done completely under the radar of the public, and many cases – government officials. How it works [...]
