The same monetary system that enslaves the entire world.Please, all I ask is that you believe no one, and research it for yourself. You will be truly shocked and dare I say scared... very scared.If not for the fate of the world, do it for the fate of your own people. Please.

The trick will be to keep them off and minimize whatever reprisal they have set up. We’ve shaken these Central Banking rats off in the past, we can do it again.

Period. I must be intellectually challenged then as I disagree in the simplicity of your answer.

The NWO is taking us down, debasing our currency. They've got our gold stored safely in the Bank of England, 700 trillion. They gave us play money which they used to buy up the world, through their instrument the Stock Market. Jefferson was right.They do not care about the Play Money. There main concern now is to destroy the perceived wealth of America, which unfortunately is in the stock market (where the fox guards the hen house) They are all about controlling us, and America must go.Ron Paul is a hero, hope he has a good plan, because in their quest to control others, they are totally ruthless. The things these bankers and politicians due in broad daylight is amazing. Don’t feel the housing bubble was an accident. The NWO is taking us down, debasing our currency.

As long as congress is for free trade, they are going to be for the federal reserve.. i dunno what your suspecting to find dr paul, but you will probably see lower m0 figures than you would imagine and congress will be asking for more support from the fed.. 40 billion dollars a month on oil and 40 billion dollars a month on products from china dwindles our supply of money, so it has to be replaced with security exports.

People around the world invest in our country because we replaced gold with our currency. They invest in our country also because we have the most transparent market available.. We don't have to worry about them asking for their money back because of legal tender laws, that money has to be spent here...For those who wished that houses would devalue, you got what you wanted. I hope yOur REAL freakin happy. People's homes in the midwest depreciated 30% in value.. I don't think you understand what this means. People who have to pay their 400k mortgage, now only have a house thats worth 200k.. For those of you who have no money, i guess you can celebrate. But the majority of people are watching their life investment go down the drain, and now they have to pay a ton of money for nothing.. I guess all the free market advocates are poor, or have nothing to lose. We are the largest exporter of securities(national deficit).

Please cite your source on this one Mr. Paul. I am fascinated to learn how, though you currently advocate the Fed is printing money, weirdly at the same time credit is contracting:

“The Federal Reserve controls the flow of money and credit in our economy because Congress has abdicated its responsibility over the nation’s currency. ”

The Fed controls credit? Would you like me to graph fed rates against credit availability? FYI the fed is trying to create credit, but the free market system is a lot more powerful…

Sure, you can say the Fed created that credit in the first place, but rates are even lower now than they were then, and wealth destruction has been at a 40% year over year clip.

Thoughts?

Matt

Cowards, traitors to the American People, Will we ever stop anointing these wealthy "whited sepulchres" to lead country. There is an ancient legent warning people to avoid letting "secret combinations" get above them. Surely "Skull and Bones" is well named and that is the flag we should be flying over this "corporate" ruled nation state. Cheers, Dan Wonderful response.
