Least Shocking 1.2 Teravolt Discharge Ever: The Federal Reserve Is A Conspiracy Against The Public

Yeah, had to look up the SI prefix on that one. Tyler Durden over at Zero Hedge reveals something you’ve more or less suspected, but didn’t want to go all tinfoil hat about, emphasis original:

. . .Wall Street’s (not to mention the rest of the world’s) biggest banks received a total of $1.2 trillion in previously secret Fed loans, in addition to the trillions in public backstops and loans from the US Treasury. As a reminder, “denominated in $1 bills, the $1.2 trillion would fill 539 Olympic-size swimming pools.” The best summary of this ongoing collusion between the Fed and Wall Street, in which it once again for the nth time becomes clear that all the Fed cars about is making sure its banking masters are never impaired, is from the article itself: “Even as the firms asserted in news releases or earnings calls that they had ample cash, they drew Fed funding in secret, avoiding the stigma of weakness.” And there you have it: everything that come out of Wall Street is and has always been a lie. . .

Now, I love my country, the Constitution, and its symbols; however, the level of global deceit involved with the Federal Reserve is such that I will agree: Americans have a substantial reason to be ashamed over this. This blog calls on all GOP Presidential candidates to estimate the number of shotgun shells they estimate it will take to put this zombie down, in the name of all that’s decent.

It is time to End the Fed.

Anticipating Bernanke’s kiss-my-rebuttal, he’d probably say that we want him on that bank, we need him on that bank. Bunk. This is a man, in a long series of men, on a policy bender, cheerfully deciding that what we all need now is a little more hair of the bitch. If Bernanke wants to stress test his wallet, that’s his prerogative. If our government fails to protect my wallet, and that of my children, then my government is illegitimate, unrepresentative, and debased.

It is time to End the Fed.

The Creature from Jeckyll Island will celebrate a century of undead, anti-Constitutional existence in 854 days, as of 22 August, 2011.  Of the two conferences in the American Political Football League that have perpetuated this monstrosity, the GOP is relatively more likely to step up to the [expletives go here] plate and finalize the Fed.

It is time to End the Fed. Come to think of it, 1.2 teravolts would probably vaporize the Fed nicely.

Related Rick Perry thoughts at Chicago Boyz. Meanwhile, The Moderate(ly Progressive) Voice links CBS giving a platform to the frequently helpful Ben Stein beclowning himself. Just because the Federal Reserve has been a slow-motion heist, Ben, does not justify it.

    “slow motion heist” — I like that.
    Ending the Fed will end just about everything that is wrong with our country: the welfare state, oodle of $ made on defense contracting, superfluous regulation, multinationals milking taxpayer money, bankster funded foundations socially engineering us into oblivion, etc.

    I’m not so sure it will “end just about everything that is wrong with our country” but it couldn’t hurt.

    Besides, I’ve been told that the way to end just about everything that is wrong with our country is to legalize hemp.

    So where did all the money go?

    What I would like to see the next 2 presidents accomplish:

    1. Full audit of the books

    2. Lawful prosecution of embezzlers, fraudsters, and crooks – regardless of party.

    And nary a word about the Bildebergers in the whole post?

    Pray tell, how do you propose, in your “post-Fed” world, to regulate the money supply?

    Thanks to ever larger disk capacities, I don’t need to look up tera- as an SI prefix, because I’m used to dealing with kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes.

    The prefix should be common knowledge in an era when the national debt is measured in terabucks.

     Well folks, hold on to yer jockstraps…I heard on the radio this afternoon, that it’s more like sixteen Trillion that’s been loaned to such banks as Citigroup, Stanley Morgan at over a Trillion each, plus some foreign banks…all at zero percent interest. Just try and go to your local bank and ask for a home loan at zero percent interest. That’s our money dammit!

     Many people would get “depressed” and wind up with two bulletholes in their heads. The suicide notes for certain people are already written and filed under “contingency”.

    I’m just going off history. The last time an investigation was attempted on the gold in Fort Knox, Nelson Rockefeller’s secretary “fell” ten floors out of her window. Seriously – look it up.

    Well, that would cut a lot of fat out of the justice system, so maybe they can pursue important things -like who’s robbing us blind!
