Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve

Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, "Federal Reserve" is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates.

Dedicated to Murray N. Rothbard, steeped in American history and Austrian economics, and featuring Ron Paul, Joseph Salerno, Hans Hoppe, and Lew Rockwell, this extraordinary documentary is the clearest, most compelling explanation ever offered of the Fed, and why curbing it must be our first priority.

Alan Greenspan was not, we're told, happy about this 1996 blockbuster. Watch it, and you'll understand why. This is economics and history as they are meant to be: fascinating, informative, and motivating. This movie is changing America.

If youre really an "economist" (as you claim) you should be able to articulate money creation no ? Its a pretty simple question. What consideration of lawful value is given up by the "banking" system when they purport to "loan" money to one of us? Why are you unable to answer this Mr."Economist"? Is it because if you answered truthfully, you would be forced to admit that banks give up nothing themselves when they falsify debts to themselves and that all you have been taught in school is a lie???

The fed is just the regulator of the fraud/theft. The fraud/theft itself is the practice of "banking". The falsification of indebtedness to pretend creditors who give up no lawful consideration commensurable to debts they falsify to themsleves, is the issue... The problems "banking", not simply "the fed". If they "end the fed", yet continue on "banking" whats changed ? You still have "banks" issuing representations of peoples promissory notes into existence... as if those were debts to "banks"

This documentary has such clarity. It's just like reading Murray.

I had the feeling this was true but now I am totally convinced.

Interesting but unfortunately heavily biased. Failed to mention the three Republican presidents, Reagan, Bush Snr and Bush Jnr that ran up the money supply to unprecedented levels. Greatly increasing debt at the same time. At least Roosevelt put people into jobs and Clinton actually reduced the debt. And we all remember Bush Jnr, the American economy nearly blew up because of him.

Meaning, theres no "Debt" to any "bank" (because theyre only pretending to be creditors??) Therefore our obligations (*our promissory obligations to each other*) are to pay down & retire paid principal (only P) from circulation to prevent circulatory inflation & to maintain integrity of our currency... Under "banking"(neo-slavery) we "pay back" a faux creditor intervening on all contracts falsifying obligations to retire principal, into artificial "debts" subject to interest "owed" to themselves

[ott0Kitam]

I have done the research... An obligors (not "borrowers") promissory note is first issuance & has lawful consideration of value. A "banking" systems secondary issuance (or mis-representation) of our promissory notes (bank money/credit) evidences the former issuance we create & has no consideration of value given up by a "bank"... Meaning, the obligor (not "borrower") is the creator of money, not any "bank"(who only publishes further evidence of our own promissory obligations/notes to each other)

[ChairmanBernanke]

Dear Sir, You're simply not worth my time to go into detail to explain how the Federal Reserve System functions,it's already public information and i'm sure your capable of doing research.

[ott0Kitam]

Well, go ahead, wheres your rebuttal (or any argument at all really)? Dont just say "wrong" and expect to be taken seriously. Explain how I am wrong.... Do not just state it... Prove it... You mean to tell me that a bank gives up lawful consideration commensurable or equal to the debts it merely claims to be owed ??? Im all ears Mr.Bernanke
