End the Fed

Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution states: “The Congress
shall have the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of
foreign
Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;”

Now the
operative word here is “Congress” not “The Fed,” not “The President,”
and not “Barney Rubble.” Only “Congress.” But upon urging from the
banking industry and their congressional supporters/recipients of cash
donations from bankers, Woodrow Wilson and the US Congress changed all
that. Thanks to a dumbed-down government-run education system, most
Americans have no clue as to how or why the Fed was created.

Forbes
magazine founder Bertie Charles Forbes was perhaps the first writer to
describe the secretive nature of the original gathering of bankers and politicians on Jekyll Island. In a national publication. He wrote:

“Picture
a party of the nation’s greatest bankers stealing out of New York on a
private railroad car under cover of darkness, stealthily riding hundred
of miles South, embarking on a mysterious launch, sneaking onto an
island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week
under such rigid secrecy that the names of not one of them was once
mentioned, lest the servants learn the identity and disclose to the
world this strangest, most secret expedition in the history of American
finance. I am not romancing; I am giving to the world, for the first
time, the real story of how the famous Aldrich currency report, the
foundation of our new currency system, was written… The utmost secrecy
was enjoined upon all. The public must not glean a hint of what was to
be done. Senator Aldrich notified each one to go quietly into a private
car of which the railroad had received orders to draw up on an
unfrequented platform. Off the party set. New York’s ubiquitous
reporters had been foiled… Nelson (Aldrich) had confided to Henry,
Frank, Paul and Piatt that he was to keep them locked up at Jekyll
Island, out of the rest of the world, until they had evolved and
compiled a scientific currency system for the United States, the real
birth of the present Federal Reserve System, the plan done on Jekyll
Island in the conference with Paul, Frank and Henry… Warburg is the
link that binds the Aldrich system and the present system together. He
more than any one man has made the system possible as a working
reality.”

When the Federal Reserve was created in 1913, a $20
bill could be exchanged for a $20 gold piece.

Today, it takes
seventy $20 bills to buy a $20 gold piece, which means the dollar can
buy in 2010 what you could get for 2 pennies in 1910.

Quite a record for
a central bank set up to protect the dollar. That worked out real well didn’t it?

Now
the Fed has just printed and released $600 billion in new currency to
purchase our own debt. In addition, it is adding in $250 billion from the so-called “Stimulus” bill. It will be the largest tax increase in the
history of our nation. Why you might ask? Because the value of every dollar you now
have has just decreased exponentially. Within two years you will see
prices on goods and services increase to levels you will not believe
possible.

And this tax is not a tax that was debated in
the hallowed halls of Congress. It’s not a tax voted on by our elected
representatives. It’s not a tax enacted by any legitimate law-making
body. It’s a tax foisted upon the American people by a private
corporation that has allegiance only to itself.

We have reached our Wiemar moment. For those of you who don’t know what that means, you can educate yourself here: http://preparingyourfamily.com/economy-anatomy-economic-collapse-weimar-republic/

We’re
all going to pay the price for our inattention. Democrats,
Republicans, Conservatives and Liberals; there will be no escape for the
poor or the rich. We will all suffer together. Only some more than others. The worst part is that
we are going to pass this burden on to our children, grandchildren and
even our great-grandchildren. It’s the shame this generation will have to bear.

Ron Paul is right: It’s time to End the Fed.
