Pay them back with the same WORTHLESS money they "lent" to us. Then immediately issue NEW money and make the OLD money obsolete. Just give it to the FEDS, no one else. Do away with the IRS, and GET OFF THE GOLD STANDARD. Think about it... the only reason we have INFLATION is the FEDS either flood the market with money or pull it back. Gold and Silver are nearly FINITE RESOURCES. That's why we have INFLATION. There is NO REASON why the number of dollars issued should vary in value according to the number of dollars issued: A 1/20th cent cupon on a cereal box is still only worth 1/20th of a cent, NO MATTER HOW MANY CEREAL BOXES ARE PRODUCED. Sound silly? Perhaps, but I would wager it would WORK far better than the corrupt system we have now, run by old world gangsters. The federal government has the authority to issue as many or as few dollars as are necessary in order for the people and businesses of the U.S. to conduct their business. No other controls are necessary. Get rid of the FEDS and you get rid of the PROBLEM. Abolish the federal reserve. Pay them back with the same WORTHLESS money they “lent” to us. Then immediately issue NEW money and make the OLD money obsolete. Just give it to the FEDS, no one else. Do away with the IRS, and GET OFF THE GOLD STANDARD.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

This frightening document parallels what is today becoming reality or implementation in progress. As with similar and equally frightening Muslim documents, we all need to bring to the forefront the main cause of inequity and injustice; that most surly is religious fundamentalism, as it is the driving force behind the control of the United States of America's monetary system.

It's a religion - a religious identity and a set of cultural practices, with part of that identity being a loyalty to both Israel and, in the case of Jewish Americans, to the USA. If people in positions of power are acting against American interests, they should be prosecuted. Period. Ronald:

Bushnell Fri, 23 Jul 2010 15:45:30 +0000 http://www.ronpaul.com/?p=3382#comment-119205 Kevin, I have one more question for you and then I will stop my rambling and shut up. If all of the controlling members of the Federal Reserve, most key positions in the financial controllers on Wall St., key cabinet positions in the presidential administration, as well as key intelligence committee and administration position, were all Austrians of Germanic origin, would that bother you? The way the Palestinians are being treated, is a good indication of how other humans will be treated by fundamentalist Jews that believe they have the god given right to subjugate other human beings. This must be resisted - without falling into a much worse course of action, such as the installation of a radical Fascist government with the German final solution. In this discussion about the Federal Reserve you cannot separate race, when a single race has explicate control. As we assimilate the Federal Reserve with transparency, as well as ethnic diversity, then individuals will not be able to bring up race in this conversation.

Bushnell Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:37:54 +0000 http://www.ronpaul.com/?p=3382#comment-119172 Kevin, to answer your question - yes, it would and does bother me if any particular ethnic or religious group had control; especially of something as important as the monetary system, and the intelligence services, as is the case with Jews with dual citizenship with Israel, where there loyalty to the United States or even humanity as a whole can be called into question. I view Christianity as the gullible arm of Judaism, and categorize all dogmatic fundamentalist such as Buddhists, Muslims, Christians, and Jews as potentially dangerous to the progression of humanity as a whole. ~ If it was within my power I would destroy (after all of the people were removed) Jerusalem, denying it to all the fanatical fundamentalists with simplistic associative views they are willing to blind themselves to all else for – Muslim, Christian, or Jew. I would build a massive black pyramid with smooth black sides; forever reminding the world of the suffering and stagnation of the human spirit caused by religion. Israel is not a democracy by definition, and is engaged in the epitome of racism. All ethnicities need to attack monolithic control with enlightenment through education and diversification. 9/11 is an example of what can happen when ethnic alignment combines with religiosity. As I said before, although with some anger, we as a people (including Jews) need to attack Jewish control with diversification, without attacking Jews in general. This Representational United States will be much better able to progress absent the emerging blow back from the Zionist orchestrated attacks of 9/11 Kevin, to answer your question – yes, it would and does bother me if any particular ethnic or religious group had control; especially of something as important as the monetary system, and the intelligence services, as is the case with Jews with dual citizenship with Israel, where there loyalty to the United States or even humanity as a whole can be called into question.

Would it still be problematic for you if they were all Christian, or Buddhist, or Athiest? The problem is how they operate, and the power they yield over our elected officials, among other things.As for the Israeli and Palestinian conflict, I see it different than you. I see a small, successful Democracy (Israel) amidst many violently religious fanatical nations bent on their destruction - and they have admitted as much. Israel has been, and continues to defend itself. The fact that it has been successful so far does NOT equate to oppression of the Palestinian people! That's ludicrous. Ronald:

Bushnell Sun, 18 Jul 2010 18:11:03 +0000 http://www.ronpaul.com/?p=3382#comment-117530 Kevin, Is it quasi-racist that virtually all of the controlling members of the Federal Reserve (and most probably the new regulator under the newly expanded powers) are of Jewish ethnicity? I have a great respect for the many accomplishments of the Jewish people, as I am outraged by the audacity of self perpetuation of monolithic control. There are no better examples of racism than the systematic oppression of the Palestinian people, as well as the domination of American monetary control by Jews. In my opinion, Zionism is inextricably linked to acts such as the rule set change of 9/11 apparently executed by collaboration with American intelligence.
