Ron Paul - Federal Reserve is Illegal - Should Be Abolished

[inhuman0id]

the gold standard is another way the FED owns the world ... GREENBACKS and silver is the way

[elmolovescookies]

problem is so many banks now rely on the FED that you couldn't just destroy the FED overnight without affecting the inflation of gold and thus plummeting all cash bills not just in the US, but worldwide..you would see hyperinflation like a gallon of gas costing 100 dollars and the world will explode.. seriously does anyone here have a substantial supply of gold and silver? i didn't think so.

[TheAnthobreezy]

FUCK the federal reserve, you bitches need to die.

[bonzelite]

Ron Paul is like a fortress of shining truth; the younger guy is a clueless fool probably brought on the interview to act dumb on purpose; he actually doesn't believe the Fed causes the booms and busts? LOL what a fucking idiot the young guy is.

[friscob1]

@bonzelite Absolutely clueless. I love when revisionists try and blame the 'bank runs' for the Great Depression while they avoid what happened in the 20's which set the stage for these events. Sad thing is I am taught in economics, in college of all places, how the bank runs were the problem and FDIC was the cure. Talk about indoctrination

[ademar9988]

JFK ABOLISHED THE FED AND HE DIED....

RON PAUL 4 PRESIDENT

[friscob1]

@ademar9988 Do you want him to die as well?

[CockysThoughts]

Abolishing the Fed is impractical? More like crucial to our future.

[oldereb38]

How does the Fed steal money from you? By inflation !!! The FRB profited $8.4 TRILLION last year from the auction of securities---OFF OF THE BOOKS--without any mention in the REPORT TO CONGRESS! It is embezzlement by counterfeiting! The Ponzi scheme Fed inflicts perpetual indebtedness and confiscates the wealth of the people, and posterity, while impelling the nation to national bankruptcy. search RIP OFF BY THE FED RESERVE 3W scribd dot com message 48194264

[2020starman]

@cst20396 thats whats wrong with america ..always going with ratings .... bs .. check ur loser pres now ...... main news media pattern here ? wake up people .. dunno but theres a plan put in order ... you wont get it on cnn ....

[asleeperj]

I love how Ron Paul really hit the nail on the head with this one, and the guy arguing kept going back to failed socialistic policies of the 30s

[uturniaphobic]

dummy probably left this interview, went down to the sandwich shop, ordered a sandwich and FLIPPED out when the price was $8.00. Backed Money is VERY difficult to manipulate. That is why the framers designed it in with strict rules for its creation and use, all of which has been tossed to the side for this current fiat fiasco.

[gr8american]

that indian guy is a retard

[DontTread0nMe1776]

Technically I believe the Federal Reserve would be considered "legal", however it is certainly UNLAWFUL.

[xcoconutmonkeyx]

Yay lets pay our taxes 14 trillion worth to the fed and let them borrow it back to our gov with interest every year!! Yay we already oh more money than is in circulation this way. Yay lets just let the fed print money to pay off existing debts that makes the money we have worth less!! Yay, lets give 700 billion to the people who created the problem instead of bailing the people out of debt! Yay go fed go devalue my currency more crash the economy again and buy up america for pennies YAY!!!

[cowboysfan782008]

There was one smart person in that trio, and it wasn't the woman or the muslim!

[uturniaphobic]

to take a person's money as a tax before that person enjoys the fruition of the money they've earned is slavery...PERIOD!

aka Federal Income Tax or ANY "income" tax is slave tax.

To be "capitalists", as we claim to be, the tax should be levied at the point of sale and is the BUYER'S burden. a flat tax is more in line with capitalism. Abolish the Fed and it's income tax, BS. It's entirely un-American!

[thesheeplefollowuhom]

Shakir is an idiot, but i don't think many of the sheeple will notice. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Bush has made mistakes but should we abolish the presidency? The fed likes to neglect to mention the fact that although they are credited with keeping us stable the great depression happened on their watch, and this economic crisis happened under their management and direction.

[bushveldbaby]

And truthfully, i have some stashed away. Get some folks, when the poop hits the fan only gold and maybe a pack of camels will get you food.

[bushveldbaby]

I think Ron Paul was correct in suggesting a gold standard. When you think about who prints and destributes money, as a layman, you wouldnt want your goverment anywhere near it really. Gold is an "in hand" form of trade and hedge funds will become null and void because they will simply not be needed and will not apply. Oil is irrelative really, purely because it is localised globaly and not accessible to anybody as gold is so widely available due to massive distribution.

[cmorganis]

Ron paul is a genius. He got to the core of the problem and hit it right. But I do not agree with returning to the gold standard and as a apparently as a libertarian he avoids mentioning another possibility: The government printing money instead of the fed.

[ToobeYoo]

Well it's fine if they print money so long as the value of that money is tied to some real... something that takes a set amount of work to acquire. Gold or Silver is just the nature choice since there's a limited amount and it actually costs something to pull it out of the ground. Oil would work, but hedge funds could manipulate the prices, along with manipulating gold and silver so ultimately we end up with a lesser of two evils type of situation. Could tie it to labor... but problems there too

[dallasphill]

How about Carbon Credits!!!

Then we can all go to work and pay our Carbon Tax Debt off!!!

Brilliant!!!

[cyperz11]

What do the people who print our money our form of currency our very economic value do when the leaders of the country they print currency for want too much?? they must find a way to limit their spending (interest rates) but the problem we are having is that we aren't showing any care to our spending. now imagine if the people who are printing our money was controlled by our government that can't stop spending.

[alessandropivetti]

The media heat Ron Paul!

Ron Paul is a great man.

Anche in italia lo conosciamo.

[yyt9009]

The stability of a system is dependent on the environment, when the environment changes the stability changes. The industrial revolution changed the world for better or worse irrevocably, but it has undeniably compromised the stability of our financial system. Unemployment will continue to soar because technology displaces the need for the labor of people or draught animals in the workforce, while population growth is steady. look up "technocracy" we could be past this economic turmoil by now.

[elitebanktyranny]

who is that misguided idiot arguing for the Fed?

[cyperz11]

IF WE DESTROY THE FED DON'T WE DESTROY OUR CURRENCY ALONG WITH IT DON'T DO THIS.

We need a privatized bank that IS NOT a government agency look at how our government spends it's money as it is if it controlled the currency who knows how bad it would get. We have to control our spending that's the only problem our government spends too much and not in the right places.

[wildboy789789]

i used to think like you... but the government is shitty because the fed is privately owned

we cant let our government accept bribes

[cyperz11]

the problem is the government's spending not the Fed's regulations they have to put high interest rates on each dollar the more the government wants to spend

Would you guys rather have a privately owned money printer or the Government printing all the money they want

from our own greed and selfishness as human beings it must be this way.

[wildboy789789]

if the government destroys the economy then we can reelect different people

if the fed destorys the economy then we are powerless

especially since the fed shot any one who ever opposed a fed power increase (lincoln... kennedy)

i would want a real democracy to control its own money... not just some man

[cyperz11]

government destroy the economy? that's what they are doing by spending large amounts of money and a lot of it is going in to the wrong places, How can the fed destroy the economy when they are controlling it really not really controlling it but sustaining that it exists without currency we have no order and also the bible cites that when the world is without a currency it signals the beginning of the rapture so if you are a christian truly and what you believe is true you should not be worried.

[wildboy789789]

THERE IS NO GOD!!!! WHY AM I STUCK ON THE EARTH WITH THESE CRAZIES!!?!?!?!??!??!

now the right wing wants fascism to get rid of the communists... and all the people blame free market but we dont have a free market because the fed messes around with the price of goods

I HATE HUMANS... why is it portayed as cool to be an idiot? (any female actress, or any rapper)(bush)(snoop dogg)

im gonna start killing people who cant answer my political questions in the street

[cyperz11]

if there is no god we would already be slaves worse off than you can imagine we are given the freedom of choice which is the ultimate freedom you must understand that selflessness is the only way to live in peace which is what the bible guides you to do and no other religion does, we have our minds to ourselves but we are meant to LIVE how we should not how we want to for the benefit of peace and the survival of mankind all selfishness does is cause unities to break. we are raised to be selfish

[Drsnafubar]

Who owns the Fed?

Rothschild Bank of Berlin

Rothschild Bank of London

Warburg Bank of Hamburg

Chase Manhattan Bank of New York Warburg Bank of Amsterdam

Goldman, Sachs of New York

Lazard Brothers of Paris

Lehman Brothers of New York

Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy

Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York

[Drsnafubar]

Shakir is an uneducated college brainwashed fool and is ignorant to how the FEDRES came to be---through trickery and coercement of Woodrow Wilson who signed in the act in 1913. Why would you give power to print the country's money to a private group of wealthy elitists? Amschel Rothschild and his cronies were behind it all (creature from Jekyll Island) and now has control of not only the U.S. economy but England and most if not all of Europe.

[getalife981]

Fuck The FED

[polygamous1]

the Biggest robbery in human history since the world began commited against america n its people see THE MONEY MASTERS shockingly true them gagsters have totally all but destroyed a once proud n free country diabolical to have a group of people to have the right to print n control money out of thin air is nothing short of diabolical they control all major central banks But the Russian central bank

[TylerHinds]

What the people who say that the Federal Reserve is needed for economic stability are ignoring is that the Federal Reserve was created around a decade before the worst economic crisis in out nations history (the Great Depression) and it failed to do anything to prevent it. In fact the Federal Reserve made the great depression worse. Huey Long, Al Smith, and other great minds of the era believed that the Federal Reserve was the real cause of the great depression. END THE FED!

[TylerHinds]

Andrew Jackson abolished the central bank of his time for a reason. END THE FED!

[jswenn]

Shakir did the typical political argument...

1. Agree with the other man

2. Say the other man is incorrect

3. Blame Bush

4. (optional) Support a counter argument

Hostess: "Did they (Fed) cause it?"

Shakir : "I don't feel so"

Does anyone care what Shakir "feels"?

[SuccessfulTrolls]

All boom and bust cycles can be traced to the Fed's policies. When have had near as many boom and bust cycles under the Fed than bank runs and panics in the 19th century.

[rckhenrys]

Ron Paul is so right .......But we have obama so get back on the tax your back plan

[biped19]

Some one told me that The fed is not illegal because although most of congress was in recess and the bill was rammed through in the darkness of night, it is had become officially "the law of the land" thus making it legal.

??? Is this true?

Something does not sound right.

[zazoos2]

Ron is Morpheus, setting us all free. Who is going to be Neo?

[pdaniels9000]

the Fed guy knew he was fucked in the last few seconds. Ron Paul called him out and that's why he had the huge nervous grin at the end.

[SeanP7195]

LOL, They are talking about how the FED is killing this nation and gasbag drops the Bush line after about 12 seconds. Ughhh, i'm glad those days are over. 'Mr. Senator, what are we gonna do about global warming...well, you know the President is not very popular and has made a lot of mistakes'....ugh, that was annoying.

This guy has the nerve to call the Fed a success. Were are 10 trillion in debt and, grrrr, these people need to be shot.

[themaclady]

This guy works for George Soros, so no wonder he wants the Fed so he can shore up the foreign bankers who run it! SHAMEFUL

[kuza01]

Shakir is the student. Dr. Paul is the Sensei. Shakir I recommend you read The Constitution.

[swizzlecheeks]

They stuck this poor young guy, Shakir, as the "Pro's" side of the Federal Reserve. Its obvious he doesn't have a leg to stand on. Doesn't even understand the reasons to the first Depression. The Federal Reserve is not Federal! Never been for the people of America. Hands down. Its gotta go.

[flyinghotwing]

fucktarded moron is a good description, yes ron paul owns my version of the truth too...he is so eloquent and direct in his criticism, its a wonder how anyone can back the corrupt fed......it was created in secret to protect the interests of the biggest bankers, not to protect people in general!

[Rjackman84]

Owned...

[highwingprop]

Great vid, thanks for posting! But may I say that the message on top of the video can get annoying!? Just make it disappear after 30 seconds of something, we're already done reading it after at most 1 minute!!! just put it on the side.. :)

[POPEWORSHIPER]

lol...that middle eastern guy got owned. He must be paid by the non-federal, Federal Reserve.

[conciousgood]

That Faz guy is a dupe... a useful idiot.

It's time to end the monetary system all together. Money is the root of all evil and alcohol is the ubiquitous mind numbing means by which this whole world of enslavement has been possible. Stop drinking the slave drug, free your mind and demand an end to the monetary system and an immediate release of all free energy technologies which have been suppressed for the energy barons for at least 60 years. See the Venus Model alternative to end Monetary System forever at thezeitgeist movement . com

[tim6575]

R.P Is speaking truth The fed isnt even owned by the government Its all lies.Back to gold and silver.

[ed2point0]

Sad thing is, our government should be in prison for commiting the crimes of counterfeit and falsification of our economy. Faz and many others should be arrested for aiding and abetting this crime.

[crispymidget]

Faz is a fucktarded moron

[crispymidget]

How does the gold standard fix that? Did that lady ask that??? Oh my god.... People are stupid!

[svxdriver]

Can you believe they are trying to sell the FED as a cure when thier system has nothing but ups and downs like thats stability over the last 100 years and arguing you don't have that kind of stability in a tried and true value of gold. hmmm..This guy needs to look at the average price of gas in gold over the last 10 years.. Shakir might not understand it though cause it won't have those stable ups and downs.. lol..

[MMAGRO1]

They don't teach the truth in economics classes, and there is a reason for it. faz shakir is just regurgetating information he was tought by brainwashed educators.

[againsthemachine]

...Ron Paul speaks truth to power once again!...shakir, you are a total "tool" to the federal reserve...as fake and phoney as the system itself,as your words are!...man you people involved in this scheme all suck. Justice is coming though...you can hear it in the wind...

[utubedaveg]

faz shakir is an educated idiot.

[CrystalIrismusic]

ron paul baby! these other people are clueless.

[Quiksilver209]

top business people around the world are using gold as money because the dollar is worthless now.

[nogdog21]

why does no one listen to ron paul. why does no one listen

[countrybob2]

nogdog21

Because either people will ONLY vote their party or they cannot handle the truth now being proven.

[mydozer]

Who knows more than Ron Paul? No one I can think of. Where did his opponent get his education? from the Fed. The Creature from Jekyll Island is a "must read." Your world view will definitely change. You'll never trust a politician again - or a banker.

[dormsfornorm]

opponent is no match against Dr Paul!

[wolfhybred]

the system is wrong duh...

[Stucifer]

Ron Paul makes mince-meat of the Federal Reserve as always.

And I agree with the previous comment that the banner on top of screen taking up 1/3 of it, is annoying. The picture is grainy too. Good content, but needs to be cleaned up to be effective

[tbg0o]

Oh, and the text taking up 1/3 of the screen is really annoying.

[tbg0o]

I suspect, given a little more time, Dr. Paul could have really scooled this tool.

[worldhistory00]

I have watched video after video, it is amazing how dumb people who are "experts" are when it comes to the financial system of this country.

A college degree means nothing in debates if you remain ignorant about the true nature of the system. All a degree lends is a false nature of trust in the person, really, these people don't seem to be all that smart.

Ron Paul has a good message, but he will be shut down by all of the dumb "experts".

Amazing isn't it!

[grrfu]

totally, that so called expert seemed totally lost, and I thought it was funny he never really articulated his position and resorted to "dont throw the baby out with the bath water!".

[broseph70]

Ron Paul makes this guy look like an ignorant media tool. That a way Dr. Paul!!!!!

I hope that this Shakir dude shit his pants when he realized that the truth always has a better comeback than propaganda and lies

...and abolish the presidency?? Its called impeachment and yes Bush should be impeached as well as who ever wins the next term

I could go for some Peace Love and Prosperity, Not War Fear and Debt

[penexpers]

Great man.

I am in favor of abolishing the presidency. Or, forcing him to follow the constitution. You know, which ever.
