[napalmvoododaddy]

i believe later bernanke will face some tough questions. some of them will set the floor for him to commit perjury. back in the day, not very long ago, that bastard bernanke never dreamed the fed would've been opened up this much by the highest court. now he has a rope around his neck that is getting tighter. he's doing bullshit press interviews and such. he's running and the media can't help him. i think we'll see these same two blowjobs defending him later in and out of court ! he must fall !

[napalmvoododaddy]

on bernanke's youtube channel. " fedreserveboard ". he doesn't allow comments and ratings on his vids. and on his channel i'm not sure. i didn't try. but i don't think you can post channel comments there too !! hahahaha ! what a tool !! puts out bullshit fed vids, and won't let people say anything to him ! bernanke is on the run now. he's really trying to save himself ! i hope others with better computer skills than me will make vids about him and his channel, showing how he lies and hides !

[Tasadaru]

22 minutes in and the guy is basically saying, "We got so much incriminating crap you wouldn't believe that it would blow your mind away." It sounds like he was actually bragging. Not enough people in the world, huh? LOL

[kmg501]

22 minutes in and you start hearing the big lies coming from these reps of the private banking cartel that is holding America hostage.

[Deathfromthesky2112]

The Doc is in!

[Precog1982]

Mrs. Maloney...I'm not sure who handed you that cheat sheet of questions to ask in an attempt to stem the publics discontent with the Federal Reserve and the lending that occured during the financial crisis. But I guarantee that you don't know what a CDO, MBS, SIV's, Commercial Paper, LIBOR etc... actually mean and what effect they have on the economy.

You Ma'am are the reason we are here...I'd like to know your voting record on all matters pertaining to fiscal and financial policy...FOIA

[freedomapplied]

Ron Paul President 2012

[1ASHKENAZI]

END THE FED

Restore the US Constitution

No foreign aid to Israel

[mikebgood]

@1ASHKENAZI No foreign aid at all!

[wcarlpdrysdale]

So the Fed just engaged in contract with the US government That: If the Treasury is unable to satisfy a demand by the Fed for the funds, the Fed is never going to try to gain access to the gold that stands as collateral for the gold certificates issued by the Treasury. That whatever claim it may or may not have had to said collateral is now null and void by their own volition?

Sweet!

[CartoonPoem]

Jones seems really nervous here.

[CartoonPoem]

Wow the guy is reading a script! lol Ron Paul scared those FEDS!

[hestanto]

haha no position....Go Ron Paul Money Bomb June 5th! A donation of $10 is definitley welcomed :)

[visualidentity]

1. Maloney asserts the Keynesian fear tactic that without the "emergency" actions of the Fed our "recession" would have turned into a "depression". Ms. Maloney lets put that theory to the test.

2. As Maloney panders to the pointy headed Fed spokesmen attempting to discredit questions about the central banks operations, it makes one wonder if she is one of the members in congress who has been making unusually high stock market gains? Her investment activity should be dissected.

[jomitast]

Campaign's grassroots supporters are holding another Money Bomb this coming Sunday, June 5th. Search Ron Paul 2012.

[1combatjump]

Mr Paul chairman. should read Dr Paul.

[carcabe]

Can Ron Paul be President? Only if WE give it our all. Unless you give your time, talent and money to this cause don't expect it to happen. Dr. Paul can't do it alone. It's your life, your future. Decide and then live with that decision.

[Ragfish]

What is missing:

1. The central bank is a scheme by which through the miracle of compound interest and the certainty of time moving forward, the bank will come to possess the wealth of the nation.

2. This is mechanical, the outcome certain and the the net has been cast so broad and deep, that it is invisible to those ensnared by the very paper for which we labor, that we measure our personal nominal economic progress and what we carry in our wallets.

[POKETPAIR]

Gold certificates.

[mreisma]

history tends to repeat itself - our central bank's days are numbered.  good riddance. ron paul 2012

[napalmvoododaddy]

hay jomitast !!! just worry about yourself. i don't give a rats ass what you think. i support paul also. these banker bastards have got to go ! wall street has got to be removed from government. people who lost everything due to their shit, even those who took their own lives over their losses, what about them ? people get angry over this. that's saying it lightly. so if someone says something that upsets you, oh fuckin well ! fuck the nwo, fuck wall street, and who ever protects them !

[jomitast]

@napalmvoododaddy So you don’t care or as you say don’t give a rat’s ass what I say and I accept that but you also say you support Paul. Are you aware the campaign's grassroots supporters are holding another Money Bomb this coming Sunday? Can they count on your help on Sunday, June 5th?

[napalmvoododaddy]

@jomitast no, i wasn't aware of this. and yes. i will give money to paul's run effort. i have a few bucks that's not doin nothin, and he's welcome to them.

[jomitast]

@napalmvoododaddy Great as well as I will again be kicking in, I have pledged another hundred. Dr. Paul has stated one dollar now is worth five later. I do not remember exactly where I read that but it makes sense. He needs to get the people who do not know of him to know who he is and what his policies and beliefs are.

[jomitast]

If you support Ron Paul PLEASE choose your words with scrutiny when writing response or personal commentary. Do not embarrass others or yourself with profanity, attacking anyone of beliefs either for or against Ron Paul. Support Ron Paul, follow his lead, and do not try to lead followers by illiterate, angry, biased and total lack of respect for other people’s opinion. I fully support Congressman Ron Paul for President 2012 by written word and financial, moral support as best I know how. RP2012

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

Fuckin' go, Ron Paul! Yeah! 2012 gonna be the muthafuckin DEATH knell fo' doz muthafuckas thinks they can trample ah rights, yo! He gonna kills him some Fed ASS, yo!

Ron PAUL! Yeeeeahhhh, boiieeeeee!

[mjhonsun]

Ever since I first saw Alvarez, I've believed that he is a purposely cunning choice by the Fed for these hearings and other media events. Meek, mousy, polite, soft-spoken, etc. His whole demeanor and delivery is designed to deter decent people from pressing him too hard so as to avoid being viewed as a bully. Aside from that, he uses the word "so" excessively to begin his answers.

[mreisma]

@mjhonsun i agreed the first time i laid eyes on him

[TheCaptainSlappy]

But.....Ron Paul is both a private and public corporation just like the Fed Reserve, isn't he? watch?v=T3c_tbfPC2s. He sure is, traded 3X on Dun & Bradstreet. Odd how that works, right? Yet, you "citizens" already knew all that, so are commenting from a completely factual perspective, not a media related fantasy-land. My apologies.

[njhth]

@TheCaptainSlappy Alright? So what? He has his own company. Isn't that everybody's God given RIGHT to own one's own business? If he own's stock's and does some trading, isn't that is own choice and righ? Ron Paul doesn't believe in Corporatism, he believes in Austrian Economic's. He believe's in having a sound monetary policy, not the Keynesian policy that is failing us since 1913.

Get your head out of your ass and your fact's straight.

Ron Paul is our last hope!

Who you want? Hermain Cain't

[Kevinsouth]

Mr. Alvarez sounds like a social worker. He might as well be saying in his Father Alverez God-loves-you voice, "We counterfeit money, steal from you, play shell games with global central banks so we can rule the world, and don't give a damned about peons like YOU. But my voice is so friendly that stupid Americans will love the Fed and make Ron Paul **sniff** leave us alone."

[thedanesaregreat]

Ron Paul Is Columbo Of DC - Remember Peter Faulk Played Columbo The Detective Who came off as a confused not so smart & simple Cop. Paul always Polite makes the Eiltes who come before him think they can Fool this Little Man who they think is not smart enough to catch the deals they have wheeled & dealed to hide the truths in the reports. Ron Paul burns the Midnight oil to read every word typed. If any one is to find the truth it is Columbo of DC - Thank You Dr. Paul for being a True Patriot.

[Ghost9909]

It's funny to listen to the slippery lingo the banksters use.

[protectedparody]

Lacy Clay Pigeon reminds me of Senator Pat Geary from the movie The Godfather Part Two. The crooked Senator is one-upped by mafia kingpin, Michael Corleone. When it comes time for Geary to participate in a Senate subcommittee hearing about organized crime, the slimeball Geary excuses himself by lying about a prior commitment. Before doing so however, he makes sure to give high praise to Michael Corleone’s character and attempts to dismiss any accusations of Corleone’s nefarious activities.

[joelpettit25]

Thumbs up if you think Maloney and Clay were reading straight from the papers the Fed gave them.

[Court4123]

Ron Paul would do well to say "cartel" after he says "Federal Reserve" each and every time. It would help people understand why he asks the questions he does...

[Tnat1on]

Ron Paul is a GREAT man! He has diamond-tough integrity and great mind and that's why he is a threat to those bankster scumbags that are robbing all of us blind!

Go Ron Paul, we stand behind you and if you need us we will be there for you as you are here for us!

[saturnined]

Just ahead of Ron Paul's Fed hearing, a Fed paper questions blanket bailouts

Posted by: EB at Zero Hedge

Post date: 06/02/2011 - 11:05

All the more relevant today, now that Moody's has downgraded Wells Fargo and Citi on concerns that the Fed will withdraw bailout support.

Paul's slowly gaining ground!!!

[premitive1]

thank you minnesotachris, i like seeing these hearings. Ron Paul is really scratching at the surface of some tremendously interestings aspects of the inner working of world power. The Federal Reserve Bank's relationship with both domestic and foreign controllers of money is quite fascinating and important to status quo.

[Lunartechno]

who the hell is that sleeping or whatever to the lett (our right) of doctor paul at 35:56 is he sleeping or something? did he die? sneaking a joint? lol or is that a great illusion?

[saturnined]

fact is none of Paul's hearings have been attended by committee members or media or supporters.

[saturnined]

might get media coverage if all the committee shill's showed up. FED can't afford that

[realist283]

Anyone else think the squealy banker guy looks and sounds like he dropped a bunch of acid? He's one of those "dudes" that talks forever and never make any sense!! And I loved when Ron asked them about foreign banks =]

[saturnined]

@realist283 not me. he's just your garden variety pychopath doing his job. Lying.

[realist283]

@saturnined But how can you tell for sure? If I had his job there's no doubt in my mind I'd dose before talking..

[superhoga]

I wonder where Mrs Maloney thinks money comes from. She sounds like she thinks the Fed is just sitting on one big pile of money and as long as there are checks in the book they can keep writing.

[saturnined]

As long as the US is at war, the American President is a Caesar. He is above the law. The US Justice (sic) Department has ruled this, and Congress and the Courts have accepted it. [ ] Moreover, the Federal Reserve is independent of the government. In its approach to regulatory matters and bailouts, the Fed has ceased to follow its own rules.[ ]The Bush/Cheney regime brought democracy and accountable government to an end. If Obama doesn't finish the process, the next in line will. —PC Roberts 6/2

[saturnined]

so much discussion referring to DODD-FRANK yet Frank has barely made an appearance.

[superhoga]

That is one dirty Alvarez!

[PsychStudent85]

Handing over our Monetary System to Private Banks was treasonous! Now we have to hold these meeting for information that would other wise be common knowledge if we controlled our own currency. Our dollar is devalued and inflation is effecting us all because of these Private Banks!

Time to END the FED and take control of our currency!

Ron Paul 2012!!!

[superhoga]

Info is redacted because it is extraneous? How about you let the requester decide what is extraneous.

[TheGetor]

Not very many interested I notice. Where is the press, the flashing cameras and the TV reporters??? Unbelievable that so few cares...the economy going down the drain and all. But wait, Lady Gaga had a new album out!

[Sic transit gloria mundi]

Go Ron Paul 2012 - for the world!

[tonyteb]

i love RON he is just a bad ass

[BanksterSlayer]

Do watch the last 10 minutes of this video. Paul traps Alvarez when he says: "You keep saying that gold is not money. If you're not ever going to use that gold --and you say it's not money but just some asset gathering dust -- then why don't you sell it back to the people??" ... Alvarez retorts: "I have no position on that; go ask the Treasury."

Alvarez says: "I have no position on that at all.... go ask the Treasury department."

[DONOVANDANNA]

The last 10 minutes of this video made my day. Seeing Mr. Paul talk down to those two Fed boys in freestyle fashion, is what it's all about.

[saturnined]

Great Orwellian that Alvarez.

[tonyteb]

@saturnined lol

[pb1051]

Clay just comes to these things to waste time.

[saturnined]

@pb1051 Yep. Clay is the designated banking cartel's shill for the ones to Paul's right who don't want to show up and give Paul's crusade credence.

[pb1051]

@saturnined Yah, funny how they act like this is a waste of time by seeming so disinterested and leaving as soon as they've thrown their softballs out.

[saturnined]

He writes us books- sending us to school, he debates the banksters, he holds his sub-committee hearings, he goes on any TV show that asks him, and we still don't learn. It's so over time for a win in the Good's column, but it appears the Evil have gained too much momentum.

jeffersonianideal-great quote, great book.

[brder4ev]

Of Course they are not going to disclose where the money went, It would cause a Revolution the very next day, If people knew how their scam worked!

[saturnined]

roughly 300 bank failures across the nation since TARP costing the FDIC 10s of billions and the TBTFs get the remains. Lawyer says the taxpayer has made, not lost money. Majority of these banks were not allowed up to the discount window, but other nation's banks were. These terrorists are running a scam that only the Medici's could appreciate. Americans are simply in for a rude awakening. What the hell more can Paul do?

[jeffersonianideal]

"Despite my views about the value to society of greater publicity for the affairs of

corporations, there was an occasion, near the close of 1910, when I was as secretive-indeed as furtive-as any conspirator. I do not feel it is any exaggeration to speak of our secret expedition to Jekyl Island as the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System." -Rockefeller agent Frank Vanderlip. From the 1971 book "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" by Gary Allen.

[jeffersonianideal]

@jeffersonianideal Here is another excerpt from Gary Allen's book, None Dare Call It Conspiracy: "When the Federal Reserve System was foisted on an unsuspecting American public, there were absolute guarantees that there would be no more boom and bust economic cycles. The men who, behind the scenes, were pushing the central bank concept for the international bankers faithfully promised that from then on there would be only steady growth and perpetual prosperity."

[Skeptic121]

Those lawyers remind me of the tobacco company lawyers testifying that nicotine is not addictive. The word is "dissembling" and it means lots of words but no answers to the question actually asked. Does anyone else find it offensive that an agency created by Congress can play Rope-a-Dope with Congress to keep secrets?

[kevinz1985]

The Fedsters going to shake the hand of Dr Paul when the hearing is finished...

ah ah ah :D

Looks like he is giving them a bit of trouble ^^

[NSResponder]

Does that stupid cow in the traffic-cone orange suit seriously expect us to believe that the Fed HELPED us by keeping incompetent bankers in business? Give me a break!

-jcr

[rayofminneapolis]

This man is running for PRESIDENT. 2nd term in my opinion. Get that GOON OUT of the back seat! Some respect for my president PLEASE!

[JiveDadson]

Maloney: "Is it not true that were it not for the Fed we would all be living in card board boxes?"

Fed Lawyer Guy, "Why yes, it is."

[1shabuti1]

Maloney baloney is a bernanke cocksucker

[mit26chell]

This is by far the best committee hearing yet. Congrats, Dr Paul!

Won't be long before Helicopter-Ben is forced to testify before Paul's committee. I know he doesn't actually have the subpoena power by himself to do this, but the pressure on the Congress is ever-growing for answers, and given the success of this particular hearing having two Fed lawyers as witnesses, I think the full committee will soon back Ron is issuing the big subpoena!

[jobrien2001]

Mrs. Maloney is in the banksters pocket.

[Eternaverse]

@jobrien2001 Of course she is, her husband is even an investment banker.

[BanksterSlayer]

@jobrien2001 Oh my goodness, I was going to say that! She had not uttered more than 10 words and you could totally tell that she has WALL STREET tattooed on her forehead.

[pb1051]

@jobrien2001 or just a f***ing idiot

[whb99]

@jobrien2001 Or in zanax's pocket!

[n0us3rn4m3s4v41l4bl3]

@jobrien2001 and she sounds like Ms. Chokesondick from South Park.

[teerexness]

We need to get the slippery tongued lawyers out of these hearings and get some Rockefellers and Rothschilds up in front of this committee. It's time to end the scam called the Federal Reserve System/IRS. It started out as a criminal endeavor, and there's no way to deodorize it. And BTW, Mrs. Maloney obviously either doesn't understand how private banksters work, or she is a stooge for them. I'm betting on the latter and I hope her constituents are taking notice.

[czargwar]

I wish more questions were asked. I'll look for the written ones later. Still, I am glad to hear what the FED officials had to say. Need to understand their arguments well in order to counter them on academic, legal, and common grounds.

[teerexness]

@czargwar, no need for complexity in the argument against the legality of the Federal Reserve. Here's what the U.S. Constitution says,

"Congress shall have the power to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;"

It DOES NOT say congress may cede or hand over it's monetary responsibilities to a private group engaged in activities that would put you or I in prison.

[czargwar]

@teerexness

cool, because it doesn't say how they are to do those tasks, i can argue that federal reserve act of 1913 is just a method they chose in performing this task. Ball is in your park.

[teerexness]

@czargwar, given that logic, could we have surrogates fulfill prison sentences for us? The constitution says "Congress shall have the power", I think that's makes it pretty clear who is supposed to be creating and regulating money in the U.S.. If we let this argument breakdown into minutia, legalese and over-analysis, we will witness another 100 years of Felony Reserve control of our country. The obfuscation and secrecy of the Fed are to hide the indefensible.

[MrRayRPh]

No matter how big and powerfull they believe they are, Ron Paul represents the power of the people whether we are totally aware of all the issues or not. We might well be forced to take notice...and then the power of words spoken by RP will be elevated.

[continuityofliberty]

RP2012!
