Beck just said it on his radio show, Friday will be an hour-long special on the Federal Reserve with the author of The Creature From Jekyll Island. He was talking about his Fox TV show I assume.

EDIT: I don't know if Griffin will be on for the full hour as thread title kind of implies, but he will be on the show.

All I can think of, is that TPTB are ready for the transition to the world bank and IMF. Otherwise, there is no way in hell that Griffin would get such a stage to talk about this. Also, with the FED being so open and brazen about manipulating foreign currencies, and Ron getting such a stage on his sub-committee...

Im having a hard time believing this isn't being directed. Or, I may need to pull the tin foil hat down a bit tighter. :-P

Of course it's being directed. We pay people to direct it. But I don't know if they're going to try for their International SuperFed or if we scotched that grand plan. Don't underestimate the amount of win we have achieved in trying to alert the nation to the misery caused by our fiat currency.

If they're angling toward using all that gold they bought from a thousand CASH4GOLD-type places, of course Rep. Paul will be doing his level best to ease everyone into the transition as smoothly as possible. What patriot wouldn't?

Awesome, will have to set the DVR to record 'one time only' so I don't have 30 episodes of caliphate(sp?) rants... Plus I don't want Mr. Judge thinking I'm trying to squeeze him out of my DVR... He's already getting tired of Peter Griffin's shenanigans...

Never thought I'd see the day when G Edward Griffin got any air time. I, too, however am not holding my breath that all this msm attention on the fed will change things for the better.
I've been predicting for years that they WILL end the fed someday, only, they will create some kind of huge bureaucracy in congress to continue to "handle" the money, meaning, there will be no free market in money anytime soon. :(

Beck just said coming up on his radio show today he is going to talk about the government going after what they call "economic terrorists", I assume he is referring to the Liberty Dollar trial.

EDIT: talking about it now, Liberty Dollar trial

EDIT #2: OK done talking about it I guess.

So he is going to have a special on the Fed, but not have on the one guy who has spent his entire career on the subject.

Anyone wanna bet that if he mentions Paul, it will be prefaced with, "I agree with him on everything but..." Then go on and on about how there is not one person in congress with integrity and principles... blah blah blah.

Oh, and my personal favorite, "He has been proven right about (blank) but for the wrong reasons."

Posts like these and those on rpf of this mindset blow my mind. First off, glenn has had like 20 different shows about the fed already. The media isn't controlled by the federal reserve, if that was true then why would ron be on tv every other day? why would him and glen bradley be on cavuto today at 4? I see fed critics on tv pretty frequently, damon vickers the other day for example. These kind of weird conspiracy theories don't even pass the common sense first check.

I've been thinking about this for a while now. About the backing Ron's initial audit the FED received, about the manufactured rise of the tea party, now WI OH IN and their union negotiation bills.... I can see where the thought processes of your average americanus boobus can be channeled to... 'hey, Obama was on track to fix this mess and now the evil capitalists have completely ruined everything. We need this international body overseeing our economies so the capitalist pigs cant just ruin it all over again, we need this to keep our economy as far out of their lobbying hands as possible.'

Sometimes I wonder the same thing.

I think it's possible that we're actually making an impact, getting real liberty candidates elected and changing the tone of the debate in this country. Maybe we'll surprise ourselves, realize that everything isn't controlled by a conspiracy of media or secret society overlords and actually get someone into the White House.

Maybe I'm too optimistic.

"The course of a progressing inflation is this: At the beginning the inflow of additional money makes the prices of some commodities and services rise; other prices rise later. The price rise affects the various commodities and services … at different dates and to a different extent. This first stage of the inflationary process may last for many years. While it lasts, the prices of many goods and services are not yet adjusted to the altered money relation. There are still people in the country who have not yet become aware of the fact that they are confronted with a price revolution which will finally result in a considerable rise of all prices... These people still believe that prices one day will drop. Waiting for this day, they restrict their purchases and … increase their cash holdings. As long as such ideas are still held by public opinion, it is not yet too late for the government to abandon its inflationary policy.

"But then finally the masses wake up. They become suddenly aware of the fact that inflation is a deliberate policy and will go on endlessly. A breakdown occurs. The crack-up boom appears. Everybody is anxious to swap his money against "real" goods, no matter whether he needs them or not, no matter how much money he has to pay for them. Within a very short time, within a few weeks or even days, the things which were used as money are no longer used as media of exchange. They become scrap paper." - Ludwig Von Mises

I accept that there will be a dollar collapse sooner or later. What follows will either be relatively freer or a less free global system. If we don't educate people about the Federal Reserve, the status quo will continue until TPTB have all their pieces in place. If we do educate people about the Federal Reserve and inflation, we will accelerate the crack-up boom, giving us less time to educate people about free market money. Ron Paul rolled the dice and we bet with him. We are betting we can educate enough people fast enough and are willing to risk an accelerated crack-up boom. TPTB are betting that they have enough pieces in place that global control can be instituted before a critical mass objects.

Conversations are aired about the Federal Reserve all the time. Remember the Rasmussen Poll regarding Auditing the Federal Reserve, it was 70-80%, don't remember the exact number but it was high. I had a friend I saw weeks back I hadn't seen in years. A little ghetto, got his GED, not that it matters, but not exactly, aware you could say, more concerned with women, video games, and pot. I was in awe as he started telling me about the Federal Reserve and how it was a private institution. "that's messed up, yo!" lol Had another friend, pure liberal, telling me how the Federal Reserve is debasing the money supply and causing suffering around the world, ok not annoying liberal, but definitely the bleeding heart type. My mother, an employee for the DOD and accountant, I told her that the Federal Reserve was private, she couldn't believe it. I showed her the proof and she almost lost it.

The point to these stories are, people know! If MSM doesn't talk about these things, they continue to lose credibility, if there is much left at all. This isn't a ploy or a trick by TPTB, this is them having to adjust to the population becoming more and more aware. A good thing in my book. Beck steers the Tea Party, the average Tea Party member, knows of the Federal Reserve, knows it's private, knows that the constitution calls for gold and silver to be used as currency, and knows what inflation is. The information is seeping out of their grasp and they are having to adjust and reposition themselves. They are on defense and in my opinion starting to retreat!

From: G. Edward Griffin <griffin@XXXXXXXXX.com>
Subject: Glenn Beck will plug The Creature on his show Friday March 25th
2011 March 24 from G. Edward Griffin

GLENN BECK WILL PLUG The Creature from Jekyll Island
On Friday 2011 March 25, the entire Glenn Beck show will be devoted to an exposé of the Federal Reserve. I was invited to be a guest on the program and, when it was taped last Tuesday, I was amazed to find that Beck, not only has read the book but praised it highly. In fact, almost his entire opening monologue was based on the information and, in some cases, the very same phrases used in the book and in my lectures. I was delighted to know that someone, either Beck or his researchers, had spent a great deal of time studying The Creature from Jekyll Island. But what is even more encouraging is that several million viewers will be exposed to an hour of economic and monetary truth. This will bring us a giant step closer to actually slaying the Creature.

The reason I am writing to you is that this media exposure will open up many minds that previously were closed on this topic. Now is the time to reach out to friends, neighbors, and leaders with an invitation to read the book. We must strike while the iron is hot. So I am putting the book on special sale for the next week to encourage you to acquire a few extra copies either to give away or sell. Through the rest of March, the book, which retails at $24.50 alone or $19.60 with any additional purchase, will be on sale for $19.50 alone or $15.60 with additional purchase. We still have about 50 copies left of the previous 4th edition, and those will be on sale this week as long as they last for $14 in any quantity.

http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?t=253012

But the media (or at least, the anti-Fed media) seems to be indirectly pushing people towards free banking or a gold standard instead, something that is completely incompatible with a world currency. If they wanted to push for a world currency, they would be attacking the Federal Reserve from an entirely different angle (eg. "They are causing problems for OTHER countries").

I would say that Ron Paul brought up the issue, it keeps growing, and the media is noticing that it is getting bigger even without their help. So they figure that hatchet jobs will only serve to destroy their credibility if the movement keeps growing, so they are instead jumping ship and backing the perceived "winners". Are they generally in favour of the statist quo? Sure. Is the "media" (or at least, MSM) a single group with the same goals and same audiences? Not really. Are they willing to effectively suicide bomb a rapidly growing movement from all directions and make themselves look like hacks? Nope (at least, enough of them aren't that the discussion is sufficiently "balanced" for them to have a way to escape if things go our way).

I don't really understand people who keep claiming that people who aren't with us but push some of our beliefs or help us out indirectly must be "CIA spooks" or "controlled", or that the US gummint somehow controls all the variables. Some of them are for sure, but most aren't. The CIA is too damn incompetent to run so many operations at once. Take 9/11. If the government is clever enough to pull it off without blatant leaks to the media (which seems to happen whenever the government pulls off ANYTHING of particular importance), then it is damn well powerful enough to simply seize control and rule as a benevolent dictatorship, or run the economy directly. Other times, the problem is less that the US government is involved and moreso that people think it is the PRIMARY cause. Look at the current sweep of revolutions in the Arab world. For sure, the CIA, MI6, and the rest probably gave the protesters support, but they were NOT the main cause. The Brits have been trying to get rid of Gaddafi for the past twenty years by revolution, with no success whatsoever. The Americans actually have little motivation in some cases (Mubarak was a loyal puppet, why would the US open a chance for anti-American Egyptians to take over?), but when they do they seem to either have little success on their own or have been trying for ages (like in Iran). Face it, the Western nations are not causing this, they are simply riding the coattails of revolution and trying to push things along. Even funnier is when people claim organizations that are doing things clearly contrary to the establishment are the "controlled opposition". Take Wikileaks. People like Alex Jones (more on him in a bit) were claiming they were working for the gummint, just because they didn't get to steal some publicity from it. Wikileaks leaks have been extremely useful in exposing government fraud, and have been rather embarrassing to several officials. Hell, I even occasionally see some people claiming Anonymous is working for the CIA (which, considering the fact that Anonymous is more an ideal than a group, is nigh impossible and laughable to anyone with the slightest idea as to what they are talking about rather than playing ad libs with Alex Jones statements).

Now, a lot of this fad seems to be coming from Alex Jones himself. Now I used to think he was great and on our side, but now I really hate that crook. He is just standing to the side and picking up a sizable demographic for his own benefit, caring more about his own ego than the cause he represents. Seriously, many a Liberty-leaner has discovered that Alex Jones has been acting like a bastard and stealing his rallies to use to increase his own fame rather than support the person in question. Whenever he isn't the first or one of the first to dig some dirt on the government doing something bad and he can't take advantage of the situation to gain himself a little more fame, he loudly claims that the people in question are "government hacks" or what have you.

Sorry for going off topic, by the way.

I agree that people are way too paranoid about media figures being controlled by the CIA. It's like the paranoia that anyone who doesn't match Paul's foreign policy 100% is a neocon. But to play devil's advocate, the CIA has proven itself capable of controlling the media in concentrated areas such as Tehran when they intended to oust Mossadegh:

I've heard Alex go back and forth on whether or not Wikileaks/Assange was controlled. I'm not sure if he ever reached a conclusion. He does have an ego and is overly paranoid, but I believe this gives him the zeal to try and discover the roots of corruption and truth. He's on our side and not just in it for himself. Hell, he makes all his documentaries available free and on the youtube interviews he strips out the commercials from his radio show. He's not in on it to feed his wallet, he's partially in on it to feed his ego, but he's definitely in on it to promote people like Ron and Rand Paul.

I think I understand what you're getting at. Care to elaborate more on this?

Sure, anyone who’s ever worked in a newsroom knows there’s no cohesion between competitors, both internal or external. It’s very competitive and getting a high-profile story always trumps ideology. The rush to get a story out as fast as possible is the reason why the media gets so many things wrong all the time; it’s not the result of an elaborate conspiracy to keep the public uninformed, it’s just the way that order was set up by emergent forces. I think Hanlon's razor sums it up quite well;


Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
