We would not need to "stabilize" anything if we did not have centralized banking...

All the Federal Reserve does in reality is make a very small segment of the population rich at the expense of everyone else, through inflation.

[rosaryfilms]

Leetist , no, you are incorrect. Please watch the video before making comments.

[Leetist]

I do not need to watch statist propaganda. If there were competing currencies backed by something tangible instead of fiat currency in which value is arbitrarily assigned, then nothing would have to be stabilized. The free market is self-stabilizing, and self-regulating. The state loves to blame the unintended consequences of THIER tampering with the free-market and why they need to further exert their control over it. Wake up.

Leetist, you did not even watch the video! Yet you know everything about it!

9/11/01 was an inside job by the U.S. government. On 9/10/01 2.3 trillion dollars where un-accounted for in the U.S. D.O.D. Govern which means to steer or control, ment=mind or mentality. Govern+ment= mind control. The WTC tower 1&2 where imploded. Also building #7 wasn't hit by anything & it was imploded later on in the evening. The Pentagon was struck by a missile. We are wage slaves forced to give 1/3 of our earnings to the gov. Our history is completely false. Free energy is available.

Dollar bills used to be backed with silver and gold (and this was written on the bill itself where "Federal Reserve Note" now sits. The Federal Reserve is a private bank which issues fiat money (little Fed gift certificates with no real gold value) to the people. The money is not backed by gold and silver as it was meant to me...which means those slips of green paper are like little paper credit cards...and your children inherit the interest upon birth.

[MDFreedomFighter]

Central Banks are unAmerican, unconstitutional (Congress cannot delegate the power to coin money to a private bank, sorry, they just can't...you can't rationalize that), and dangerous. Fiat currency is bullshit and leaves our country in perpetual debt. No one is buying your propoganda films, you can post them...its your right, but no one buys it.

[LandRuler]

The Federal Reserve is a privet bank. Thay are killing this country! Soon we will be paying a corbon tax to them.
