Congressman Ron Paul is in the news today doing what he does best: dropping firebombs on the Fed. Ron Paul stated that it’s a “possibility” that there in fact isn’t any gold in Fort Knox or the New York Federal Reserve.

When one understands how Elites view economy, and realizes their primary motivations, the fact that they purposely triggered a collapse is perfectly logical. Nothing besides all out war inspires more fear and desperation in a society than a financial upheaval. Such elements on a mass scale allow changes in our collective psychology that were never possible before. Most people tend to falter under such an overwhelming threat and turn towards any authority (or fake authority) to save them from harm. Some people scoff at this idea, but it is likely they have never actually been in the wake of a real national catastrophe before. Men, especially those who know little of themselves, can change quickly in the face of calamity. The Elites recognize this, engineer tragedy, then waltz into the aftermath to merrily lord over the rubble.

Ron Paul’s attempt to audit the Federal Reserve, which was previously co-sponsored by 320 members of the House (HR 1207), failed by a vote of 229-198. All Republicans voted in favor of the measure with 23 Democrats crossing the aisle to vote with Republicans. 114 co-sponsors of HR 1207, all Democrats, jumped ship and voted against Audit the Fed.

So much for transparency. So much for accountability. Remember those bright promises made a couple years ago, opening up a new era of hope and change? In fact, you can still read those promises made by our President on the official government web site. I’ll quote some of it: “Government should be transparent. Transparency promotes accountability and provides information for citizens about what their Government is doing.”

When Congressman Ron Paul proposed his bill to subject the Federal Reserve System to regular audits, it was no secret what his ultimate objective was. If there was any doubt, his subsequent book, End the Fed, eliminated it. Congressman Paul hoped to educate the public about just what the Federal Reserve does – transfer wealth. Sadly, that central point has been largely obscured due to the varied ideologies of the people that make up the coalition that Congressman Paul has put together. Instead of an indictment of the ongoing theft that central bank monetary policy represents, the focus has shifted exclusively to the money and credit created during and after the financial crisis of 2008. The newly proposed one-time audit will show that the funds were directed towards Wall Street banking giants and foreign central banks.

Yesterday, the Congress was busy voting on Senator Sander’s modified ‘Audit the Fed’ bill. “Bernie Sanders has sold out and sided with Chris Dodd to gut Audit the Fed in the Senate. His “compromise” is what the Adminstration and banking interests want,” says Ron Paul. What happened just a few hours before the vote, that at one time had so much support? A “glitch in the matrix” that caused the stock market to tank 1,000 points. The stop-loss circuit breakers in the market are offline after 2:30 pm. The “glitch” originated in Chicago at 2:45 pm. The Bankers were sending a message: Don’t **** with us! And apparently, Congress got the hint and voted accordingly.

The ever-present Oklahoma wind created a waving sea of Gadsden Flags across the Capital lawn during the most recent Oklahoma Tea Party event on April 14th and 15th. I attended both with a high anticipation of hearing speakers talking about the Federal Reserve, the Income Tax and Ron Paul’s “Audit the Fed” bill. I expected talks against America’s aggressive foreign policy and solutions to the national crisis occurring.
I was sadly disappointed.
Rest in Peace, Tea Party. It was fun while it lasted.

The Federal Reserve made a profit of $52.1bn (£32.2bn) in 2009, a rise of 47% over the previous year.

It could take until November 2018 to get the full story behind the U.S. bailout of insurance giant American International Group (AIG.N) because of an action taken last year by the Securities and Exchange Commission; granting AIG’s request for confidential treatment.

The Federal Reserve asked a U.S. appeals court to block a ruling that for the first time would force the central bank to reveal secret identities of financial firms that might have collapsed without the largest government bailout in U.S. history.
