The system is broke. He may be too old to fix it but he is the only one who understands it is broken.
It was funny to read above that congress "protects us". These clowns sell us out to special interests everyday.
I am voting for him again. I hope others will tooAlanAgus1 at gmail dot com-------------------------------Comment

The job of the gov is to protect the people... if we're missing a key part that makes those constitutional decisions, we have a problem.
I voted for him as well last time, it was better choice than the other two idiots running.
I just find it entertaining that so many people can repeat his message but don't have any clue how his ideas would actually come about.

It's a nick name for a combination of events and acts. The National Emergency Act, Trading with the Enemy Act, and the emergency banking legislation of 1933.
In a brief summary the federal reserve was on a 20 year charter. Starting in 1913 and ending in 1933. The ending or starting depending on how you want to look at it began with a series of events such as seizing of the peoples gold and giving them pieces paper in return. To safeguard themselves of public backlash from all of this it was written into legislation that the military could be used to protect them from the public. This is why a state of emergency (Swine Flu two year state of emergency most recently) is always declared within a matter of months of a President taking office giving him extraordinary powers. Also why he can do and odes do pretty much anything he wants with no approval from the House or Congress. Any arguments they may have is all for show. We are constantly in a state of emergency and have been since 1933.
"Senate Report 93-549 was a document issued by the "Special Committee on the Termination of the National Emergency" of the 93rd Congress (Hence the "93" in the name) (1973 to 1975). Its purpose was to discuss and address the 40 year long state of emergency that had been in effect in the United States since 1933. During the continued state of emergency, Congress voted to transfer powers from Congress to the President. The debate to end long-running states of National Emergency was ended in 1976 with the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601-1651), which limits any such declared emergencies to two years."

The Fed has been around in the works for over 100 years. And people still believe it's Federal agency. Kinda hard for one guy to overcome that powerhouse of indoctrination in a matter of years.Last edited by onwebcam; 05-13-2011, 06:40 PM.PLEASE WAIT WHILE BIDEN ADMIN UNINSTALLS ITSELF.....

So today, if a national emergency is declared then it will only last for two years... okay. I don't know how it's been happening for the last 80 years or so, but whatever.
I know lots of people that are aware that the reserve isn't a real fed agency... people find out every day. But that doesn't mean anyone will or would do anything about it, they have no reason to.
That's simply one of many ideas he has that he hasn't explained. Like what he would do if we had no gold.

He's said over and over again that his own beliefs and opinions are just that, nothing more. He shares them when asked, but it doesn't mean that as President he would try to make the country exactly as Ron Paul wants it, that would just be delusional.Comment

He has my vote. I was in Exeter when he announced. 300 to 400 people there on a one day notice. He is going up in the polls and in 2nd or 3rd in many states. He has a chance to win and according to his campaign manager (who I spoke to for 20 mins) unlike last time they are running to win. Why? Because Ron Paul truly believes that we face/are in a dollar crises that only Austrian economists will know how to fix.
A recent CNN poll has Ron Paul the closest to beating Obama of all republicans running.Last edited by IllTestYourGirls; 05-14-2011, 04:27 PM.

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?
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."Human evolution is the origin and evolution of Homo sapiens as a distinct species from other hominids, great apes and mammals."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolution
It seems you;re the one who doesn't know what it is.
"Scientists have estimated that humans branched off from their common ancestor with chimpanzees about 5–7 million years ago."
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.Exactly, we are tens of trillions of dollars missing now.
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.
So do I, but that really doesn't settle anything, does it?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.

Yes we should. I had maybe 2-3 immunizations in my life. Just fine here.

They only released the figures after a long legal battle because of who they were loaning the money to which was mostly foreign banks. All monies are still not accounted for.

Sorry to hear about your son. This explains your position more so than the actual facts.
Oh, I think the science does a really good job at explaining evolution. You on the other hand, not so much.Apes, Monkeys, Chimpanzees, whatever.. I don't believe it and you do. Besides they've discovered humanoids older than 5-6 billion years and didn't revise their "proven science." "Proven science" can't explain the gene splicing's that occurred.
But I'm curious, what do you believe? I mean, are you a Biblical creationist? Did God do it or what?
So you now acknowledge that the figures are out there?? Good. Now explain exactly what monies are still not accounted for.They only released the figures after a long legal battle because of who they were loaning the money to which was mostly foreign banks. All monies are still not accounted for.
And really this goes back to what I said about politicizing the FED. In your view that just meant supporting politicians like Ron Paul to ask stupid questions. What I meant was the importance of FED independence.
You seem to be opposed to having a politically independent central bank, presumably you want a politically dependent one then??
I trust with your financial background you understand that FRB and what the Fed did during the crisis with Maiden Lane, etc. are two different subjects.As you well know they work on a fractional reserve basis. So whatever monies said co-conspirators received was then multiplied at least 10 fold. Paying off a loan when you can multiply said loan by at least 10 is pretty easy to do.
Or do you need me to explain FRB to you as well?Comment
-
The actual facts are the "proven scientist" who has been in the forefront of denying vaccination links to diseases was recently arrested for embezzling money intended for research.
I won't get into my beliefs. But I will say that the bible was created by man based on ancient mythology.
Maiden Lane I, II, and III were where the initial funds were deposited and dispersed and also serve as holding companies for the "bad debts" (banker bets) purchased. The recipients received funds which were used as reserves which were also multiplied via FRB. The initial funds (700 billion) was multiplied into 10's of trillions.So you now acknowledge that the figures are out there?? Good. Now explain exactly what monies are still not accounted for.

Well, I'll agree with you on the last part. Certainly you have an alternative to the widely accepted theory of evolution.I won't get into my beliefs. But I will say that the bible was created by man based on ancient mythology.

Perhaps you've been in a time warp since 2009, but this is 2011. As I said earlier, almost all of the loans associated with the extraordinary lending have been paid back with interest.
I take it you are not going to provide exactly the monies that are "still not accounted for"?

Right, it's not pertinent.
Not in the sense that you mean. And where's your explanation if its not creationism?uncontroversial: there's lots of controversy in that "theory"
And I showed you that almost all the loans were of short duration, covering various time periods and that most have been paid off.You asked if I understood what it was and I explained. What do you not understand about that?

Your response was to inject FRB to assert yet another unsubstantiated claim.
I'll just assume you cannot provide exactly the monies that are not accounted for.

And as it stands today, inflation is not a run away train. 0.4% in Jan, 2.1% in Feb, 2.7% Mar, Apr no details yet but slowing and a pretty big drop in May so far (energy / food commodity prices).

First nature preservation regs, national parks etc.... were paid for and lobbied for by big railway tycoons who didn't want small local railway companies to build connections between their local railways and thus become an alternative for the large transcontinental railways.
Banking regs: J.D. Rockefeller himself said that he did not like the free market. "Competition is a sin" he said. Why? Because competition drives down prices and increases the quality of the end products. Instead of competing the big corps chose to form governments enforced cartels.
