Reporters threatened with arrest for filming private Federal Reserve building

Reporters from INFOWARS.COM were harrassed and threatened with arrest in downtown Kansas City, Missouri after filming the local branch of the private Federal Reserve building. Security guards working for the bank approached the reporters at a city park that houses the National WWI memorial and demanded that they provide their names and disclose why they were filming the building.

After Aaron Dykes refused to provide his full name, he was told to leave public property immediately or face arrest because the bank was concerned about what he was filming-- despite the fact that the female security guard repeatedly admitted he had done nothing wrong.

In the face of Free Speech under the First Amendment, as well as common sense, the other reporter, Rob Jacobson was also told to leave despite complying with the request to provide his name. "Officer Booth", the female private security guard for the Federal Reserve, dared to pronounce that he was "guilty by association." When this reason was challenged, the stupified "Officer Collins" told reporters that they were not to ask anymore questions and should in fact leave immediately.

What jurisdiction they had-- if any-- is unclear, as the cameramen were approached on city property.

The Federal Reserve-- who have branches at some 38 locations across the country-- have repeatedly trampled on the rights of free speech and attempted to challenge anyone daring to film their building. It is clear they regard any press as a threat.

It happened to an unaffiliated cameraman outside the Washington D.C. location who was told no filming of any 'federal' buildings was allowed under any circumstances unless special clearance was given by the Fed's press office.

We Are Change founder Luke Rudkowski was also challenged by a security officer outside of the Federal Reserve's New York location who demanded to see what had been filmed under threat of arrest (as documented in his activist film 'Dedicated' http://video.google.com/videoplay?doc...).

Shockingly, it has also been revealed that military intelligence spied on peaceful demonstrators who met simultaneously at "End the Fed" rallies across the country, including Alex Jones & Wayne Paul, brother of Congressman Ron Paul.

The stifling of free speech and the attempt to intimidate reporters and legitimate protesters is despicable.

The outrage over the privately owned bank has grown as more & more members of the public have realized that this entity-- which has been given the power to print our money-- is not a part of the U.S. government but a deception organization hiding behind the name "Federal."

Rep. Ron Paul, among others, has led the effort to audit this unaccountable bank and end its ability to inflate the money supply, and ultimately to target its value. Its chairman Ben Bernanke has refused to tell Congress who it has lent money to, and in what amount-- despite its relevance to dealing with the current financial crisis.

The compounding acts of secrecy-- at the ground level and in the halls of the U.S. government-- should sound alarm bells for the sleeping American people that this bank must no longer control the economic policies of this nation.

We should all inundate our Senators & Congressmen w/ strongly-worded complaints about such violations of our Constitutional Rights. All of them. Otherwise, terrorists win; both sets.

These cops, guards, FUCKING RETARDS, they are all ridiculous. We should gather about 100 people to act like normal tourist lets say in D.C.,...and then have 2 others set some of these cops up by taking pictures and refuse to show ID or answer their questions. Just when things are really about to go south, one of the 2 does a hand signal and the 100 folks standing by acting like they are taking in the scenery come rushing over and they ALL pull out their cameras a start video recording.

And calling the security officers thugs is unprofessional and ill responsible. You sir are one reason we have such a hard time getting things done in the world. Im all for rights, 2nd and all but calling people names is childish. grow up.

[jiggahippo]

Then security officers and the higher ups will no longer care if you film them. We are living in a world scared of upsetting the muslims our enemies, YEA I SAID IT! If we get rid of them we will have no more attacks like in Boston and we will no longer be in fear. And stop suing each other for stupid things that make no difference!

[jiggahippo]

First off let understand one thing. ITS NOT THE SSECUIRTY OFFICERS FAULT! They do what they are told so dont hate the officers for doing what they are told by the higher ups. Secondly its all of our faults for being PC with the people who are killing us. Muslims Terrorist are winning the war! We are scared to allow people to film anything for fear of attacks, or being put on TV and bad mouthed. And now we also get sued for anything we do. VOTE for people who no longer care about PC and muslims!

Perfect!

@brookishneptune I'm pretty sure they were threatened to be arrested if they didn't leave..... You might have missed that part? Lol

[bookishneptune]

At no time did anyone in this video threaten to arrest anybody for filming.

This is what is wrong with the disinformation from both sides. You are doing the same thing the mainstream media does by using FALSE headlines to gain attention.

[BludBaut]

You're ignorant, friend, atrociously ignorant. You've got the Internet and no excuse for your ignorance.

There are far too many authorities who break the law and the other authorities REFUSE to perform their duties to prosecute authorities for breaking the law.

It's pretty clear that FAR TOO MANY authorities consider themselves and others in authority as being above the law and those with no authority as being fair game TO BE ABUSED BY THE AUTHORITIES.

The evidence for this is overwhelming.
