  • I have to examine newer articles and to share our thoughts together with you.I ran across this kind of being an informational message and also exciting, i really feel that is quite helpful and proficient for me personally.

  • Pon Paul's Biggest issue - Ron Paul 2012 !!!!

  • Ponzi scheme..they did buy bills notes and bonds.

  • why do we give are money to other country's i don't understand why i know we need to give it for trade and all that but look at the huge debt america has pay off that geez

  • many ander the table

  • The Fed isn't even run by the government. It's privately owned.

  • We, from Europe, thank the Fed for the money.

  • I'm with the Royal Bank of Scotland. Can I have some of their free money?

  • It's too bad Ron Paul & the tea party are completely off the rails, I was hoping the progressives & libertarians could find common ground (aka thinking outside the DC talking-points box), but I don't see any way they'll help us in fixing the country & the world. Well, except for driving the GOP off a cliff so that maybe there'll be more democratic primaries, but that's a long-shot.

  • i thought the federal reserve wasn't a part of your government? thought it was privately owned which has the right to fuck over americans whenever it wants?

  • LOL Goldman Sachs won obama the election ..... dam jews

  • I guess this FINALLY proves that banks RULE THE WORLD

  • If you’re interested in the problems with the world like environment ,education, politics, banking, and government even if you have an ounce of question or doubt on the problems you know that exist in this world please watch Zeitgeist Addendum here on youtube and Zeitgeist Moving Forward which is part two. It answers most of the problems we have today.

  • @Shnimberz Better to watch Zeitgeist Debunked.

  • @shadowmyfeet I never said to watch the original Zeitgeist. It is completely different from the other two.

  • @Shnimberz I was unsure. Thank you. I will amend to say better to watch both.

  • Ron Paul and Noam Chomsky are right. End the Fed. Its going to be the destruction of our economy.

  • @alexandertmackay

    Chomsky belives the FED should be ended?

  • I know this is petty and doesn't really matter, but it was bugging me. Cenk, your pronounciation of Deutsche Bank is terrible. Anyone who wants to know how it's actually pronounced, listen to the song Computer World (or Computerwelt if you like sexy German songs) by Kraftwerk.

    YES, I know this doesn't matter at all, I just had to get it out.

  • If you want a welfare state and a central government that guarantees housing, healthcare, food/water and education, then you have to support a central bank that is part of a global paper money scheme.

  • @VictoryCough you're an idiot

  • @redryan20000

    No he's not, he's right on the money actually. The welfare state is partly financed by inflation because no government has ever balanced the budget (without raiding the Social Security trust funds). Without the central banking system (which I do NOT support) , there would be no welfare state or it would be significantly smaller.

  • usa federal reserve has to sale the gold $35 an once to every usa citizen as muches they can buy and then usa federal reserve must be abolished and demolished for ever!!!!

  • Cenk is continuing the mischaracterization that the "fed" reserve is an American Bank but it is not. If the "fed" reserve was an American bank, why would it "loan" money ,created from thin air, to our govt.? That would mean that one govt. institution "owes" another govt. institution for having created the money from debt(NOTHING) to begin with! The govt. "owes money" to itself? huh?

    The "fed" reserve is as federal as Federal Express. It is an inherently fraudulent institution.

  • There is no "fair" way to create money from debt(NOTHING) and loan it out at INTEREST. The US government has legalized a counterfeit operation so that it can "borrow" money that does not exist to spend on what ever they want "for us".

    END THE "FED" reserve fraud factory

    vote Ron Paul 2012

  • A very important video. Americans need to understand the enormous corruption in our government resulting from our elected officials representing the interests of multinational corporations & not their citizens. A transcript of this video is available on the Barefoot Accountant’s blog. Ben Bernanke, the Fed, & most representatives are criminals guilty of fraud & theft. Only Ron Paul, Bernie Sanders, Alan Grayson, & a few other Democrats are worthy to represent us.

  • Don't put the money in US bonds fool, place it in physical silver bullion. The US treasury bonds is going down and dragging the USD along with it!

  • I still have my legs because i was not wearing my seat belt when a car hit my vehicle from the side and crushed the leg area entirely on the side where i was sitting. But the impact hurled me across the car and my legs are still here. Rather than a seat belt, i focus on being extremely alert as a driver to not get in accidents to start with... click click that mind. :-)

  • msnbc. good stuff. cenk is the dumbest person on tv.

  • The Fed gave money to the members of the Fed.

  • To be in compliance with grammar, the title of this video should be "To Whom Did the Fed Give Money?"

  • Comment removed

  • Isn't this racketeering? And isn't that what mobsters get locked up for? We are the mafia of the world :(

  • I love Bernie Sanders and I know the democrats pushed him off the ticket....

  • That's right people, sell all your gold so we can give you this money we're intentionally making worthless.

    Sad that the majority of the country, doesn't even belong to the country.

  • I was being sarcastic.

    Why should you guys hand us Aussies money?? I get it I get it...

    We were the only developed nation not to go into ression during the GFC... WE RULE!

  • For once, I agree with Ron Paul. End the god damn fed.

  • ron paul 2012 plz.

  • When we give foreign banks money we create inflation for ourselves, we create American dollars and send it their way, thus our dollar is even more deprived of value.

    Oh and btw the Fed still has no idea what happened to the missing 9 trillion...

  • @treysparker

    Wow! I must say this is a bit rich! The United States is the greatest exporter of inflation. Goods come into the US and dollars flow out. This is in large part why the standards of living of americans is so high.

  • why? just why?

  • Criminal organization the federal reserve.

  • Check out the Political Boxers.

  • Had the federal reserve not given money to foreign banks, you'd have massive fraud charges brought against the US government, and the dollar would have evaporated. It sucks US citizens suffered due to the credit crunch, but so did the people of Greece, Spain, Iceland, Ireland and to a lesser degree all other countries. You were on the brink of economic extintion. Direct your anger against the banks that generated this crisis, not the creditors who were defrauded.

  • @lektrum

    Sigh i wish people like you knew what they were talking about.

    The banks did not generate the crisis, it was the FED in every way shape or form. 08 was the collapse of a bubble, simple and plain - a bubble created from a massive amount of cheap credit directly given to the banks from none other than the Federal Reserve.

    Are you now going to blame inflation on the banks too? LOL

  • @treysparker The federal reserve didn't bunch worthless mortgages together and sell them off as triple A rated financial products.

  • Ok he's explained who got the money but he didn't explain why. It's easy to look back now and say that was a bad idea but who's to say things wouldn't have gotten worse if they hadn't done that?

  • Fortunately only americans are stupid enough to let their politicians create a zero-transparency organization to in alan greenspan's words "confiscate wealth through deficit spending". Good luck digging yourselves out of ur 14 trillion debt. Don't even think about defaulting, you're too big to bail!

  • and the GOP dont want to help out the Joplin, Mo victims. OUR government is SO AZZ backwards... *SIGH

  • Credit Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss... awesome Cenk.. loved it.. made me laugh!! Good episode!! Right on the money!! Wish the FED.. ( and all the people who own) it would just spontaniously combust

  • Credit Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss... awesome Cenk.. loved it.. made me laugh!! Good episode!!

  • They're doing this just for artificial volatility.. keeping the dollar bouncing up and down is giving them the greatest return.

  • Cenk you are thinking old school. Of the super big banks there is no such thing as a domestic bank or a foreign bank. Goldman Sachs is not an American bank, RBS is not a British bank and Credit Suisse is not a Swiss bank. These banks are CONTROLLED by a group that has no national obligations. The goal of the Federal Reserve, Congress and the President is to transfer money from the middle class to the top 1%.

  • @cheddyrod Love it when I read comments from people who just get it. Well said

  • Scottland?! WTF!? Fail. Fire them all. Get that money back!

  • They get $ from Forex market. They have gains today.

  • The banks were give money, by congress, through the congressional bailout, and the (US) banks were made public at that time.

  • Big deal, the USA is making an effort of paying a small fraction of what it stole from those foreign banks in the submortgage crisis and Cenk is trying to make it look a scandal

  • This isn't new, same thing happened during first Great Depression, same unregulated markets, same loose "hot" capital fueling speculation and criminal activity.. same bailouts etc.. Laws were put in place to prevent another crash and they worked for about 50 years until they were systematically dismantled then unsurprisingly the world economy collapsed again.

    And it will again but 3rd world economies have learned the Feds/IMF/World Bank ways, many are placing restrictions on hot capital..

  • Jail the Banksters!

    End the Fed!

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • the FEDERAL RESERVE IS A PRIVATE BANK NOT A GOVERNMENT BANK...THEY MAKE MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR !!

  • Are you a freaking moron.. How many times one has repeat it to you? This is a typical American Delusion reaction..

  • USA (Walls Street) pulled a scam on foreign countries and banks with mortgage securities. USA simply dumped the toxic assets on those suckers. When they realized they have been taken for a ride, they started pressuring USA. And when the US banking system was about to collapse, USA was forced to give the money back. Otherwise some of the suckers would continue dumping the US mortgages and other assets. That's how the 2008 financial collapse started.

  • @FormerlyKnownAsNopez The banksters dumped the losses on EVERYBODY, Americans, foreigners, governments, businesses, the poor, homeowners, town councils, everybody, EVEN THEIR OWN BANKS.

    It was the BIG SCAM. They grow their banks as big as possible, by creating as many bad loans as possible, ones with high interest rates that would not blow up for a few years, then they use this short term profit to boost their own pay. Then they worked out how to make a profit off selling off the bad loans.

  • @dangerouslytalented

    It was the US bankers (plus British), so USA is responsible for them. It was the US govt (Congress and executive) that not only allowed the scam, but also covered it up. What banksters stole in USA is an internal issue. Other countries care about what was stolen from them by the US govt supported entities. It was a US govt sponsored scam.

  • the fed is a private company. they're looking after number one

  • End the Fed, their is no need for it.

  • @dhebert111 there*

  • @Nab314 grrr

  • @dhebert111 yes there is. it's to run the country into the ground!!!!

    yeahhh! CHINA>USA NEVER FORGET PEARL HARBOUR

  • @redryan20000 whats the connection between China & Pearl harbour?

  • @dhebert111 for your sake, I hope they don't end education...misspelling

  • @MoPapparani me too. Peace.

  • Goldman Sachs political contributions. Obama, Barack (D-IL) $995,745 McCain, John (R-AZ) $234,695 GE Obama, Barack (D-IL) $513,980 McCain, John (R-AZ) $100,072 GM Obama, Barack (D-IL) $51,228 McCain, John (R-AZ) $9,000 Koch Industries Bob Dole $49,700 McCain, John (R-AZ) $11,500 Wait... WTF? Big Labor Democrats 61 million Republicans 5 million Big Oil Dems 10 million GOP 15 million Grand totals Obama $745 mil McCain $368 mil
  • @Fitzcard Hmm, looked better before the collasped :P, point being. Who's in the pockets of big business again?

  • @Fitzcard That was 2008, when Goldman Sachs knew that the economy was collapsing (because they helped cause the collapse) and that the Republicans had absolutely no chance of winning. Why would you expect them to give money to the losing candidate?

  • I hope someone understands that if not the foreign banks had gotten their money back, they would DESTROY the dollar.

  • note how when the subject matter on TYT turns highbrow Jacki mysteriously goes missing, hmmmmm

  • If this is true then the people who run this country are either totally incompetent or out to suck this country dry. Who the hell made that decision to give that money away at those outrageous interest rates? The Fed had an opportunity to recover the money as well as bring in additional revenues but instead, in this deal at least, they potentially cost us hundreds of millions of dollars! Whoever made those decisions should go straight to jail. Do not pass go! Cuff'em and stuff'em!

  • 2 democrats missed the thumbs up button

  • They are the elite that control the money and the masses..

    Its just a different form of slavery. Hidden. But its becoming visible

    "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain"

  • we need REAL......democrats with balls!

  • Why didn't Australia get any?

  • @stuartjamesgemmell Because Mexico and Canada have larger Economies than you Aussie!!!  Come to think of it... Good job.. really nicely done. Thats not sarcasm eigther. Perhaps some day your country can strive to out produce, out spend mexico.

  • @Fitzcard Australia's economy is growing, and only suffered slightly during your massive collapse.

    The reason why Australian banks did not recieve any money is because the regulations are such in Australia that they were not allowed to participate in such harmful activities, therefore they did not NEED bailing out.

  • @dangerouslytalented Mexico's economy is growing as well aussie! But the biggest factor in it is the size of mexican population and their different industries, sure their economy's bigger and growing faster but they also have 6 times the population as well.

    Brazil is a bit smaller economy wise than mexico, but im gonna guess they'll surpase them some day and become a real player in the future, but then again, they've squandered that chance in the past as well.

  • @stuartjamesgemmell Australia did not need it, and Australian banks could not get it, because it is illegal for Australian banks to do certain kinds of transactions that caused the bailouts in the first place.

  • The federal reserve, fucking America over since 1913...

  • Its just that easy! "Da da da!"

  • Does Ron Paul want to make the Federal Reserve publicly owned and operated?

  • Cenk.

    What we really need to clean this crap up,

    is a Democrat President.

    The liberals wouldn't allow this stuff to happen, would they?

    Oh, Paddy O'Bama is a Democrat?

    Never mind.

  • @bobbytiger Just reminding you that the Republicans caused this mess.

  • You know what's really sick? RBS is now 84% owned by the UK government since the 2008 crash. So they got a massive portion of their stocks guaranteed by the UK taxpayer and they got a basically free bailout from the US taxpayer

  • Fire Bernanke.

  • Many people still don't realize that the federal reserve is a PRIVATE cartel of bankers, yet another reason to support Ron Paul

  • I agree the interest rate return offered was terrible. However, let's get it straight- ultra toxic US Credit Default Swaps infected banks around the world triggering a crash. Some of the banks, like RBS, were playing the same game to a lesser degree & it's not justifiable. However if the US Fed (and everyone else) had stood by letting them fail, the result would have had a worse knock on effect for everyone. Also this money wasn't 'given', it was a loan to be repaid.

  • @MrDragon1968 It is never that simple. The government took all those toxic assets off the banks hands...

  • @dangerouslytalented That's true. But what choice did they have? If they'd let them collapse because of the toxic assets it would have had a catastrophic effect on our economies. I'm not suggesting the way it was done in the US was necessarily the best deal for the US taxpayer though. They were very slow to react initially, and then rushed through bailouts at the 11th hour.

  • The onr thing I've never understood is;

    How does the Fed back up all the cash it prints? From what I can see, it's backed by nothing.. so in essence, it's legalized counterfeiting.

  • @theoriginalKland The Chinese are holding it up by buying a massive amount in dollars, and have been doing so for years. It is basically backed by the yuan.

  • lol and they want to take medicare. people need to fight to the death for this or else die in the gutter when your medical costs break you in old age.

  • This has to go on MSNBC

  • Oh, did I not tell you I gave away all your money to foreign banks?

    I'm sorry and I'm sorry and it was my bad and I'm sorry.

  • Anyone feel like forming a posse, storming the fed, and throwing their gold out the front door?

  • Cenk, you're barely waking up to this??

  • the US Government is simply following liberal thinking and trying to equalize world's wealth. Had we followed typical prudent business practices we would have achieved wealth beyond imagination, our people would not be having the problems we currently face,...but that's not in the liberal mind's scheme of things! individula A is rich, we tax him at progressive high rate and give money to individual B who is not so rich! we equalize to the lowest common denominator as in our Obowmacare

  • @genie0390 - please stop listening to right wing talking points and try to think for yourself. You will be amazed at what you find!

  • @genie0390 wtf are you talking about dude? Troll away

  • @genie0390 Equalise the worlds wealth? Then how come it mostly went to the rich?

    The people who used these practices became rich through very fraudulent means.

  • @dangerouslytalented

    well my down under pal, money begets other money. our middle class wanted Gov to impose unions to protect the working man, turns out the fat cat bosses demanded constant pay increases, big fat pensions, big fat perks, big fat benefits and in fact wanted to run companies.

    GM became known as Mama GM, mission became to provide well paying union jobs first, build good cars second priority. In their last meetings at DC GM's CEO referred to employees as his "union partners"

  • Of course they fought it. The fed doesn't want the Americans to know where they are sending their money because people would be furious.

  • sounds like a racket

  • Isn't this planet America? All banks are the same.

  • I think Ron Paul gets full credit for making the federal reserve a hot topic. You guys should pay him back by supporting him in his political venture.

  • @sefrzan The guy supports LESS REGULATION. It was this lack of regulation in the first place that caused the whole system to collapse under the weight of very fraudulent schemes by the management of the biggest banks in the world.

  • @sefrzan

    Rather put a bullet in his retarded creationist mind.

  • @mecher3k retarded? he's a former MD,,,,creationist? he may believe whatever he wants but more important is that he doesn't believe he should federally mandate any schools to teach creationism,,,oh and all those ever running for president are religious folks, this one is just a tad smarter,,,

  • @sefrzan Yea support a man totally against women's rights? I don't think so....that's not progressive AT ALL

  • @sefrzan If we should support anyone it should be Bernie Sanders...

  • ....LOL

  • The Federal Reserve is not American either, in a sense.

  • WoW!...This is easier than demanding money from the US people ....JUST GO TO THEIR FEDERAL BANK & JUST ASK FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE'S FUCKING MONEY!

  • letssss stop giving countries money.. and get out of debt before we start getting nice

  • well you helped to crash the world economy so makes sense that your bailing them out...

  • Interest free loans plus costly unncessary wars & corporate greed fueled by apathetic governmental bureaucrats equals... U & I R F-U-K-K-E-D!

  • Where the hell can -I- get a loan at 0.01%? :(

  • How can you legal enforce seat belt laws when motorcycles exist. If safety was there true concern then motorcycles would be banned or at less not allowed on public streets. and yes i do wear my seat belt.

  • @L0C0OO7 There are helmet laws, unfortunately, they're not mandatory in most states for anyone over 18. The government cannot ban everything in the name of safety Most buses don't have seatbelts. We can all thank Ralph Nader for current transportation safety laws, without him we may not have airbags today He's done more for us Americans than any politician ever, and most called him crazy or said they didn't know who he was when he ran for president each time. Just a sad bunch of folks we are.

  • Comment removed

  • I can not believe that TYT does ads for "Click it or Ticket", when nearly everyone knows that belts COST lives.

    Since making belts mandatory traffic deaths INCREASED, not the drivers' deaths (drivers themselves are more protected indeed) but the deaths of other traffic participants (pedestrians etc) because now drivers drive more ruthless.

    Google for "seat belts risk compensation".

    I am deeply disappointed by Ana. DISGUSTING.

  • @knnknn3 that logic kinda falls apart dude. A correlation isn't evidence that seat belts make people drive more recklessly

  • @fleammm Don't tell this to me. Tell this to the scientists who confirm seat belt risk compensation.

    Risk compensation also applies to condoms and AIDS. So everyone who is a proponent of condoms should be made aware that condoms INDIRECTLY through RISK COMPENSATION further AIDS.

  • @knnknn3 look i really don't want to have a back and forth, but condum use makes the risk of aids plummet. That is a fact. while people might do riskier things because of added protection, the overall safety is higher. Please don't respond I am blocking communications.

  • @knnknn3 Another dummy.

  • @knnknn3 That's the DUMBEST and most UNTRUE comment I've ever seen you GOOF.

  • @knnknn3 you're kidding me, noone actually goes "yea i got my seatbelt on!! Now i can drive like shit!!".

  • @Andy180084 Yes, this effect is called "risk compensation". Similar to the increased willingness to stay too long in the sun once you put a sunblock on.

    Google for "seat belts risk compensation".

  • @knnknn3 Traffic deaths have increased only because traffic itself has increased, along with an increase in things like SUVs which have huge blindspots.

    Some people might feel more indestructable with seatbelts on, but some feel far less safe, because they see that they have to take all these precautions.

    When I had my accident, I would have been severely injured had I not worn one.

  • I always try to look at both sides of an argument but this time it's heavily one-sided and not in the banks and fed's side. I hope something big happens in reforming this country in the coming years or else I'm going to be in Canada by 2016

  • The Fed's Chairman, Ben Bernanke is Jew

  • @akamal1113 Eh?

  • @akamal1113 Irrelevant.

  • This is news? This is old, bro.

  • I was sick of the FED before I knew what they were doing.

    Now that we know what they're doing for sure, lets DISBAND THE FED!

  • Matt Taibbi had a great article in Rolling Stone called the "Real Housewives of Wall Street". Where it shows the fed gave risk free loans to the wives Wall St execs.. If the investments succede the wives keep all the money, if it failed the tax payer picks up the tab.... The fed is the most evil organization in the united states. It needs to be either reformed from the ground up or completely shut down.

  • When did the federal reserve give the money to these banks? during the recession

  • Whats the federal reserves number? I bet I can get a few billion by pretending I'm a bank..

  • greed can actually pay off...

  • Ron Paul FTW!

  • @gauharjk Ron Paul ftw indeed

  • The Royal Bank of Scotland is not even a real Scottish Bank. It is English,they use it to steal Scottish oil from our northern seas. The Scots get some jobs out of it and the new Scottish Parliment has to give terrorists away or face a BP job cuts to our oil workers. Three cheers for Alan Grayson. Florida needs him back in office. Alan should run for Gov. of Floridah!.

  • @holycowpainter RBS is a Scottish bank dude, most of it's branches are in Scotland- as well as it's head office which is in Edinburgh. Stop trying to blame everything that goes wrong in Scotland on England, particularly given it's also doubly patronising that the vast majority of RBS's (and also HBOS's) bailout came from English tax payers.

  • Sanders killed the audit!

  • Why is he taking about it now this news is years old and Fox business also had filed that lawsuit . Apparently NBC and its affiliates(MSNBC and CNBC) wanted nothing to do with it. Because of the bailout ofcourse.

  • God, Ana looked fit there
