The New American Revolution - Break The Bank

The New American Revolution - Break The Bank

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS-NOT WITH GUNS AND BULLETS - BUT WITH THE TELPEHONE, WITH EMAILS, WITH YOUR SACRED HONOR AND PERSONAL ASSETS.
In 1913, at 11:45 p.m., on the eve of Christmas, a group of powerful men came together to form a private corporation, designed to control the monetary system of our country. They moved with a calculated craftiness and deceit to pass legislation that would enslave every American as a debtor to their corporation.
To give you an idea as to where our country is with debt, as of September 2008, the U.S. federal debt totaled approximately $9.7T, or $31,700 per person. However when the unfunded liabilities such as Social Security, Medicare, and other social programs are added in, our total debt grows to $59.1T or $516,348 per household. In 2005, the total personal debt, consisting of mortgages and consumer loans was estimated at $11.4T, with total U.S. household assets, including real estate, totaling $62.5T. (Wikipedia, United States public debt). This leaves approximately a $3T difference between our liabilities and our assets.
(more)
Why it is Americans can't forgive themselves the interest on the debt? We don't owe it to "we the people," we owe it to the Federal Reserve and to foreign governments in the form of U.S. Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. Currently the top four foreign owners of our debt include: Japan at $592.2B, China at $502B, United Kingdom at $251.4B, and oil exporters at $153.9B. Other countries include Brazil, Caribbean Banking Centers, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Russia, Norway, Germany, Taiwan, and Switzerland.
We are told that there are a number of reasons for the financial crisis we are in today. One is the passage of the Home Ownership Equity Protection Act of 1994, whereby the Federal Reserve was given authority to issue regulations and interest rates over mortgages and home equity lending. As a result, its enactment led to a sharp increase in home equity lending accompanied by a sharp boost in the subprime mortgage market, from 80,000 subprime loans in 1993 to 790,000 by 1998. Another is the passage of the 1999 Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, removing all the protection put in place following the 1929 stock market crash, which allowed foreign banks, brokerage firms, and insurance companies to buy American owned banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies. Additionally, this increased a risk to our economic system by easing regulations on monetary policy. The 45-year low interest rates in 2001-2002 to stimulate the economy following 9/11 exacerbated the stress on our economy.
In short, we have been set up! Laws were designed and passed to specifically get us into this position! We are the sheep, but our shepherd is not Moses, King David or the Great Shepherd. Now many of the career-congressmen who supported passage of the above laws are the same people who will push through legislation so they can recess to go home and campaign for re-election. Their misplaced priorities have created the emotionally charged environment under the threat to "get it done, now" by the Federal Reserve's transfer agent, Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, investment banker extraordinaire.
Unless you know the chicanery of how the Federal Reserve Act was passed in 1913, unless you understand the central banking system that runs almost all the countries of the world and their history of manipulation, deceit, deception, and distortion, you will not be able to hear, see, and understand what is happening under your nose. In July, Congress gave Hank Paulson a blank check, with his promised that he would not use it unless he needed to. Congress went home for summer recess and Paulson found a reason to use it; rescue Fannie and Freddie to the tune of $5.3T.
What do you think is going to happen when they get the new Resolution Trust Corporation and their hands on the purse of America? We will have several days of peace in the market and then the pattern will start all over again because the next project is to pass the Treasury's Blueprint For A Modernized Financial Regulatory System, The Blueprint is designed to transfer to the Federal Reserve, power over all savings and loans, credit unions, thrifts, state chartered banks, the entire insurance industry, mortgage industry, the U.S. Payment and Settlement System, and to make the Federal Reserve the Market Stability Regulator. Following this current round of volatility, we can expect more peaceful days in the market then, bang! The attack will shift to the personal savings, 401Ks, pension plans, and commercial mortgages. This is a complete restructuring of the American economy around the Federal Reserve. At this point, congress will be rendered powerless because they chose to "get it done fast" and voted away ALL of their power. As we go to press, the futures at 12 midnight are down 179 points-all because Congress did not agree on a bill on Thursday.
Let me give you an example of unbridled power. It is called "Market based Democracy." It was at a Group of Seven Finance Ministers meeting in Florida that then Treasury Secretary John Snow used the phrase "market based democracy." After doing a fair amount of research, I realized that Wall Street had transferred all tangibles into the bond, stock, commodities, or currency market. There is not one investment or asset that we own that cannot change in value due to markets, trends, or the power of the market. If you remember the Asian Currency Crisis, the currencies of five Asian countries fell to horrendous lows when they refused to sign on to the World Trade Organization Financial Services Agreement. To punish them, their currencies were sold. So much for thinking your savings and purchasing power were safe. The banks have made out like bandits. They have not retained ANY risk for the loans they make. If they make a mortgage, they can sell it on the secondary mortgage market and then that mortgage can be packaged into tranches and sold to investors worldwide; if you have an auto loan or credit card debt, it too can be sold to investors in the form of bonds; if you have certificates of deposit, they can be sold to money market funds or through brokerage firms, etc. What I am pointing out is that the system is already in place whereby the value of any asset can drop substantially and without warning because of market-based democracy. We have no control whatsoever.
Once the Federal Reserve is given unbridled power over all the valuables of America, like a pirate they will seize whatever they can, for whatever reason and we will have absolutely no recourse-that is unless YOU ARE WILLING TO STAKE YOUR SACRED FORTUNE FOR THE FREEDOM OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN AND FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WHO HAVE STOPPED LOOKING AT AMERICA FOR ANSWERS WHEN WE ARE THE PRIME REASON FOR THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD.
I PROPOSE THAT YOU DEMAND OF YOUR CONGRESSMEN AND SENATORS NOT TO VOTE FOR THE PROPOSED "BAILOUT" FOR FANNIE AND FREDDIE. LET THEM GO BELLY UP, LET THE STOCK MARKET DROP TO 3 FROM 11,000; LET THE TREASURIES GO BUST AS GOVERNMENTS AROUND THE WORLD GO BELLY UP FROM JAPAN, TO CHINA, TO THE UNITED KINGDOM, TO THE CARRIBEAN BANK CENTERS AND BRAZIL.
LET US BREAK THE HOLD AND BONDAGE THAT THE FEDERAL RESERVE HAS ON AMERICA! LET US DO WHAT WILSON, ROOSEVELT, TRUMAN, EISENHOWER, KENNEDY, JOHNSON, NIXON, FORD, CARTER, REAGAN, BUSH l, CLINTON, AND BUSH II have not done. LET US CALL FOR THE BREAKING OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE BY SAYING NO. We then absolve ourselves of the $51.9T which is owed to the Federal Reserve. What freedom. We will be dirt poor but we will have overcome a noose around the neck of every American citizen. This is really OUR MOMENT OF OPPORTUNITY TO SET AMERICA FREE FROM BONDAGE!!! Lastly, vote out your current Congressman or Senator if they vote for the proposed bailout.
If we fail in convincing our lawmakers, then after the Blueprint is passed we can expect a new currency, the Amero and a 50% devaluation of the dollar as it is merged with Canada, Mexico and other countries in this hemisphere. If that is not enough, the coming tax on services to pay for all the bailouts will add to our misery. Will you be able to afford or stay in your home then? It will be too late. Now is the time to BREAK THE BANK!

Financial Armageddon: The Real Reason for the Rush?
September 26, 2008
The Real Reason for the Rush?
One of the questions that has come up in connection with this week's scramble to pass a $700 billion bailout package for the beleaguered financial sector is: Why the rush? Why not take some time to fully explore the risks, discuss the financial, economic and political ramifications, and figure out ways to minimize the cost to taxpayers?
Although those in charge have attributed their sense of urgency to fears of an imminent seize-up in financial markets, it is conceivable that policymakers could have applied a few more of the band-aids they have been using prior to now so that the issues and prospective outcomes could be examined more fully in the harsh light of day.
Unless, of course, there is more to it than what our leaders are admitting to. In "Brad Setser: Extraordinary Times," the London Banker blog suggests the pressure for a rapid-fire solution stems from the precarious financial position of the rescuer-in-chief: the Federal Reserve.
Brad Setser has a fascinating insight to offer in his newest post, Extraordinary Times:
My response:
Excellent and timely, Brad. I’ve been speculating all week that the pressure being used on the Congress to pass the Paulson Plan is the threat of Fed illiquidity. As of two weeks ago, the Fed had lent out more than $600 billion of its $800 billion balance sheet Treasuries against crap MBS collateral.
The Paulson Plan would have allowed the banks to unwind the repos putting the Treasuries back in the Fed, get cash for the crap MBS, and get more Treasuries from the issues financing the $700+ billion funding of the Plan. As a bonus, the Paulson mark-to-maturity price becomes the implicit Level 3 price for capitalisation of all the firms and banks in the system, giving them some breathing room to stay in business. Everyone wins except the poor American taxpayer.
The Fed is very close to being illiquid. That is the fear factor we are seeing at work, and the reason no one will discuss why the bailout is needed - only emphasise the urgency.

I don't get it -- but then, "math is hard"
I thought that the Fed, by definition, can never go broke. Can't they just monetize some more debt???
If they can go broke, then is it just a matter of time? Can we stall this thing long enough to kill that creature from Jekyll Island?
