The 1792 Coinage Act (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnFa4o6Fb0I) had a remedy and Dr. Paul discussed it.

Did we expect it to be different? Every time I have an expectation where the Government is concerned it turns into resentment and anger.

Ron Paul supporters shouldn't find this surprising. A lot of folks are new to the movement, though, so the grotesque scale of this swindle may be surprising to some folks here.

For me, the culmination of Ron Paul's campaign, much reading including a great book written in 1899 about Central Banking ("The Coming Battle", http://www.mega.nu:8080/ampp/comingbattle/cbtabcon.htm), and this financial crisis has codified in my mind the extent to which the FED/US Central Bank has been at the root of nearly every assault on liberty since the inception of the country. This is a message that needs to be spread as quickly as possible, and stories like these help represent the situation perfectly!

Agreed...I am printing out copies of the article and passing them out to everyone I know.

I agree, but wanted to add that I don't believe there is any conspiracy that is trying to take away our rights, our liberties, but instead there are vast numbers of influential people that usurp the power of a central government and/or bank, and actually believe they are working to make things better.

Usually this involves making decisions that have some "higher purpose", where the decision makers see only the top-level results, and not the secondary implications. These are the well-meaning but mistaken. They walk into a room where you are sitting in one of two chairs, and accidentally sit on you. All these people need are a slight correction, a "hey, I have rights too," and they will usually respect them.

More rarely (I hope) are those who see the second order effects, the loss of liberty for the subjects under the crown, but consciously subscribe to a Machiavellian doctrine of 'sacrifice' for all for the 'greater good'. These are the well-meaning assholes. They walk into a room where you are sitting in one of two chairs and ask you to move, because "it would be easier (for them), more efficient". They don't, can't and won't care about you, because you are in their way.

Unfortunately, the latter group of people tend to have the skills necessary to be successful in politics, and then end up making policy that is thoughtless and cruel, but "easier" or "efficient". I don't know how to correct these people, except to wrest the power from their hands - and they don't like to let go.

That post was too serious :bunchies: .

Might be quicker and easier to ask them to provide a list of who HASN'T gotten
emergency loans (out of the fortune 500 list)


it would probably be a very SHORT list

:D

This might sound like a rhetorical question, but has this hit the MSM at all? I got rid of my cable a while back.

Is it just being reported by Bloomberg?

oops.

Exactly what the Fed will say.

FED: "Did we forget to disclose the information we promised to disclose? Oops."

Lou Dobbs covered it on CNN yesterday, 11/10/08.
