The big guns are out, Reuters James Pethokoukis: Ron Paul's Fed plan is economic suicide

prison some day.

I wish some one would start a website were the journalists (most of them) would be listed and the crimes they will be charged with would be listed.

This man is complicit in fraud and treason. These are federal crimes and he will be charged using this article as evidence. We should print it out and save it. When the marshals are bringing him into federal court for arraignment we can get him to autograph it and put in on ebay.

As I said before this article is his ticket to prison.....he will go too. Just watch.

If all journalists KNEW they were part of a criminal enterprise,,,and they are...if they knew that they were going to prison....this sh%$ would end...as all liars are cowards.

You imagine Murdoch telling a guy to write an article like this and the guy telling Murdoch to go to he%$?

Then their reign would end. That is all that it will take.

One guy or gal with the courage to speak their conscience in the media.

It will happen.

1. The bill is an after the fact audit of the feds monetary policy.

2. The constitution only authorities congress to print money and leaves no room for a central bank.

3. We aren't anywhere near the end of the financial crisis. It only looks like its getting better because all the money they flooded into the system is now starting to trickle down. Once it completes its cycle, the bottom drops out. Anyone who understands the simplest terms of how inflation works would consider that common sense.

4. Shake it off. The truth will come out when the bill is passed. Then we can all send emails to this idiot and laugh at him.

rampaged and crushed, and on "their" watch, went against all permacultural logic of the 70's, and managed to extinct 90% of oceans, 30% of all reef zones, and 90% of all living things and creatures in the continental United States. Mostly, since the coming of the mono crop intensified farming basically beginning in 1950.
And we want to hand over the management of our food sources to them?
"Fast Food Nation"
This myth-shattering book tells the story of America and the world’s infatuation with fast food, from its origins in 1950s southern California to the global triumph of a handful of burger and fried chicken chains.

And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

Notice, there is no comment link for the article. Cowards.

"First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win."

(This and other articles like it are a good thing, because no one will believe this BS)

what a pathetic attempt to install fear into people who just want to know what's going on. Just like when they said there would be martial law in America if the bail out bubble didn't pass. The argument isn't even properly explained.

A disgusting article!!! Totally taking Bernankes side.

this is a low life Commentary columnist/writer, his work is worthless, seriously...He has no stroke, just alot of empty spaces he has to fill.

..Exactly why Mr. Pethokoukis and his friends are so opposed to an audit.

Because an audit will expose some of the "Fraud" that the Fed is involved in, such as no audits of Gold in over 50 years.

The penalty for "Fraud" is jail time if convicted.....And if some of these guys go to jail you can imagine exactly what other angry inmates could/would do to them if they get a chance.

I stopped listening to the AP and Reuters years ago because these people are government shills used to promote government power/control/propaganda all over the world,.Just tune them out.
THE FED WILL END NO MATTER WHAT.NEVER GIVE UP.

Then there is Representative Ron Paul, a Texas Republican and libertarian who would rather imagine a fantasy world without a Fed. Throughout his political career, Paul has repeatedly called for the Fed's abolition, preferring Congress to take full control of monetary policy and eliminate fiat money in favor of a gold-backed national currency.

It ought to piss off any person with two braincells that has been paying attention. I suppose everyone conveniently forgot about Hank Paulson threatening the Congress with the enacting of martial law if they did not approve the bailout. I suppose everyone conveniently forgot about where is was Hank and company spent the money once it was released. I remember lots of executive bonuses and HUGE somes of money going to all the big banks that lick boots over at NYFED. Seems I also remember
the GAO saying on national television that the total of this theft would exceed $24 TRILLION DOLLARS as of lastweek. This is a death knell for 401-K, pensions, the dollar..etc....I haven't forgotten, please don't forget.
Know the liars for who they are. If there is no accountability at this point in time and a dramatic change then there is no economy it will collapse sooner or later just like it did in the German Weimar Republic. Economic stability can't be built on quicksand, at this point we're up to our necks.

Excerpt:
"Even if the result of the Fed bill is only more aggressive congressional questioning and criticism, financial markets might well fear the bank would start taking congressional wishes into account when making policy."

My god, that is scary! That the voice of the people (through congress) might actually be "TAKEN INTO ACOUNT", when deciding policy regarding the people's own money.

Blow up the bubble, let the masses borrow and buy.
stick a pin in it.
Bubble people collect the booty.

My simplistic opinion.

Ten days ago, they were threatening to up interest rates if audited (Oh wait that might actually help the economy long term). Now they threaten to lower them. They better explain why they are paying banks not to loan.

All taxpayers are subject to audit so should see thru this and hopefully become more suspicious of and savy to media propaganda.

Wow, this is exciting. We are writing history.
I feel a new beginning coming upon the world.
With all I have learned over the last few years, I feel blessed to be apart of history in the making. Re educating people was the hardest part; ‘the powers that be’ have rewrote and distorted the American history via the board of education. With all the pomp and circumstance in historical sites and buildings, yet we neglect the very facts. How many American presidents have been assassinated throughout our history? Look at all the kangaroo courts; there has never really been any justice in our system. Evidence always seems to be misplaced, etc. The phony wars to enslave truly free people who choose to avoid usury. Almost 100 years without an audit, what happens to any American citizen who refuses to abide by an audit? By their deeds you shall know them.

The signs and truth are all around us. I know and believe we will win this for humanity. There is still a lot of struggling left to break free of the chains that bind once and for all. Aquarius supposedly stands for freedom and rebellion. The Age of Aquarius is upon us.
Thank you Dr Paul and all the freedom fighters world wide.

I say decapitate! Nothing but the best for our beloved FED.

It's convenient for them that there is no comment section to Mr. Pethokoukis' article. I wonder if Reuters would print a rebuttal if certain Austrian economists were to write one.
I also wonder if this is a baited article. James Pethokoukis says "The economy is only now pulling itself out of recession. Paul's bill, if successful, could send it back the other way." My concern is If the bill passes, the FED is audited, and the economy tanks further (as predicted even without an audit) they will again as in 1909 point the shaking finger at free market thinkers.

They are trying to use the Fed audit and the Ron Paul movement as a scapegoat for all the economic turmoil that is coming.

I would prefer the Fed be outright abolished by revoking their charter for their incompetence and mismanaging the economy however, I will accept for the time being , a complete audit of the Fed this time around. That's right, they presided over two depressions that main street suffers through, and if they screw up again, we will demand a complete shutdown of the Fed. How do you like them apples, Goldman Sucks and all you bankster criminals?

The Fed already brought rates down to 0% on its own.

How could Congress top that?

they pick palatable and popular language that can be swallowed in one gulp and then they proceed with their goals, one gulp at a time.

Why is this any different?

The joke is that not only is this palatable and popular, but it will be the only step required to end the FED.

A genious, he is.

WAHOR!!

as the old saying goes.

That the FED is the scam of the century?? I think we are catching on a lot quicker than this boot-licker is comfortable with.

This is a condescending article about how dumb "Most Americans" and how we don't know the whole story and how precious and god-given the FED is. After all it would be a fantasy world wihout the central bank.

http://blogs.reuters.com/james-pethokoukis/2009/07/31/ron-pa...

lying down. They have the power, resources and media access to mount a very strong counterattack based in lies, fear and half-truths. If the bill is to survive and move forward, the public pressure on members of congress must be unrelenting.

No they are not scumbags.

They are criminals.....treason...Smith Act.....Fraud... the list goes on.

These guys are legit go to prison criminals who are attempting to complete the overthrow of our government.

This journalist is complicit. This article will be used as evidence by the justice department when he is on trial.

This article is his ticket to the pen.....the one with big fences around it.

If you see FEAR in the message...it is one of them.

The gangster scumbags are feeling the heat!

Rothchilds own the controlling interest in Reuters?

For all the bankers and politicians who have been profiting from this system for decades.

I love to see these guys chasing their tails trying to argue that Congressional visibility would be a disaster and that Congress already has visibility. Huh? Which is it?

The icing on the cake is the idea that if this bill passed Congress would pressure the Fed to loosen monetary policy for political reasons! Hahahaha, how do you loosen monetary policy beyond 0% interest rates and massive quantitative easing? Maybe he thinks Congress will finally spring for that helicopter for Ben.
