Ron Paul: The Fed Is Stealing the People’s Money

Sign the Ron Paul 2012 Petition at www.RonPaul2012.net Please like, share, subscribe & comment! http 04/04/2011 Last week I was both surprised and pleased when the Supreme Court upheld lower court decisions requiring the Federal Reserve Bank to comply with requests for information made by Bloomberg under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”). Bloomberg simply wanted to know who received loans from the Fed’s discount window in the aftermath of the 2008 financial market crisis, and how much each entity received. Surely this is basic information that should be available to every American taxpayer. But the Fed fought tooth and nail all the way to the Supreme Court to preserve their privileged secrecy. However, transparency and openness won the day. There are some 29000 pages to decipher, but a few points stand out initially. The Fed lent huge sums of our money to foreign banks. This in itself was not surprising, but the actual amount is staggering! In one week at the height of the crisis, about 70% of the money doled out went to foreign banks. We were told that bailing out banks was going to stave off a massive depression. Depression for whom? We now know that the Fed’s bailout had nothing to do with helping the American people, who have gotten their depression anyway with continued job losses and foreclosures. But now we learn that a good deal of the money did not even help American banks! In light of recent world events, perhaps the most staggering revelation is that

  • Ron Paul, take no ones crap, be tough with people in an intelligent way, YOU HAVE MY VOTE SIR!

  • Ron Paul you are MY HERO. Thank you for all you do for us, for your humility, for your honesty, for your integrity and for your years of loyalty and service to our country fighting for our liberties.

  • Like the Prophets of old, who were stoned or killed.. for telling the people the truth there are those who just don’t want to hear the truth. We thank you Mr. Paul, like Glenn Beck we thank you for the truth. Far to many liberals are like ostriches, their heads in the sand all the way up to there arses! Wake up American’s, soon it will be to late!

  • @zombiefitnezz I agree with everyone with a brain. you really are an idiot. fiat currency is the printing of money that is not backed by gold and silver. Inflation is printing more money than we have gold to cover. Unfortunately, you have done flawed research and are actually too stupid to realize it.

  • @ingalls20 …”Ben Bernanke disliked this video twice.”

    Now he’s disliked it 3 times, heh-heh.

    RP For Prez!

  • Ya gotta ask for the right documents. The FRB of NY received $8.4 trillion last year from the auction of Treasury securities—OFF OF THE BOOKS–without any mention in the ANNUAL REPORT TO CONGRESS or to the public ! Its embezzlement ! The Ponzi scheme inflicts perpetual indebtedness on society and confiscates the wealth of the people while impelling the nation to national bankruptcy. The mathematical inevitability is at RIP OFF BY THE FED RESERVE Posted or 3W scribd dot com message 48194264

  • Ron Paul is a silly little maggot who is anti-civil rights. While the queers in the military are protecting this prick’s world, Ron Paul is snorting coke with chineese hookers and small mexican boys.

  • 1. Paul A. Volcker 2. Alan Greenspan 3. Ben S. Bernanke

    Disliked this

  • @zombiefitnezz

    Oh my God zombie, you are a sorry case. No wonder your name is zombie.

    The wages go up because the value of the dollar goes down. Not having power anymore, we need more dollars for the cost of living.
    Get it ?????

    A piece of furniture that used to cost $10, now costs $3,000. Not more furniture, just more in cost because the dollar’s value went down in time.

    Your logic is just backwards ! Once you correct that, you are okay. Let’s hope that you will make the effort.

    Based upon what Ron Paul discloses here, it would appear that the inevitable goal of the central bank, is to ensure that Americans are eventually limited to banks only under their control. I think more evidence of this will be seen with bank merges and buy outs; and were it not for his opposition of both the fed and the I.R.S., the media would have had no reason to blacklist him in 2008.

    Like it or not, Judging from who has profited through Obabble, he was bought and paid for beforehand.

    WARNING: IRS PUSHING AGENDA OF SLAVERY ON US CITIZENS!

    IRS TAX TIP 2011-33 says: “The FAIR MARKET VALUE of bartered goods or services must be reported on your tax return.

    This means that you do not have the right to set the value of your labor or service independent of “THE MARKET”. A barter is an EVEN TRADE and NO 3rd Party has the right force their valuation on your service, labor, or personal property.

    ACCORDING TO THE IRS YOU DO NOT OWN THE VALUE OF YOUR VERY OWN LABOR! = SLAVERY!

    I’m not an american, nor I live in america, can I sign up too?

  • @lootnopans: It’sthe elected government. Problem is not the government but the so called democratic process that creates such monsters. Time to change the democratic system instead.
    We have the technology today to allow the people of a first world country to decide on the issues as and when they come up. In a democracy where this can happen we don’t need politicians just administrators whose sole job it is to do the peoples will regardless of their opinion. Too bad current system rejects this

  • @zombiefitnezz You just showed us you dont understand much about economics and that you did NOT do your research. Since 1913 the dollar is loosing its worth steadily. If you support Bernanke …. good night, sleep well and dream your life away.

  • God Bless the good Doctor.

  • Rick Tippie disliked this video once!

  • This is not our government. This a rogue government. It is our duty to overthrow this government and restore our government.

  • @msungs Yes, I suspect that I am on a domestic terrorist lis of some federal bureaucracy too. I consider it a badge of honor. Our government is criminal.
