I'm not arguing against anything that is proven, whether it is derived from nature with a long history or developed through modern research.

It is not an either / or proposition. Your argument is the same simpleton argument against vaccinations / immunizations. Should we get rid of those as well in your view?

It seems you;re the one who doesn't know what it is.
Do you comprehend what you read? That is in direct contradiction to your statement about "Humans descending from Apes". Maybe you should read the whole wiki page.

"Scientists have estimated that humans branched off from their common ancestor with chimpanzees about 5–7 million years ago."

Exactly, we are tens of trillions of dollars missing now.
Conspiracy Theorists like you have used this video to allege the Fed has given this money away and have no idea where it went, which is absurd.

The Fed released all the documents to show exactly where every penny went following Bloomberg's legal action.

The vast majority of loans have been paid back in full plus interest. Why do you think the Federal Reserve's annual payment to the U.S. Treasury for 2010 set a record high of $79.3 billion and the payment to the U.S. Treasury for 2009 was over $47 billion?

The key point is that Ron Paul et al leave out the fact that the Fed made numerous short term loans throughout the financial crisis that amount to trillions when added together but they were not all outstanding at the same time.

If they told the whole story, their impact on nutters with tales of how the Federal Reserve "criminal organization" is throwing trillion dollar bills all over the place would lose its potency.

I come from a financial background and have been preaching this stuff for years. I don't need anyone to tell me what I already know. It won't surprise me for you to ignore the facts to save face.
So do I, but that really doesn't settle anything, does it?

It seems to me that you are ignoring the facts, not me. Why don't you look at the transaction data for yourself? It can be found on the Federal Reserve website. Start here:

Fed balance sheet

Fed-assisted off balance sheet financial interventions

Archived Fed assisted emergency programs
