If the Supreme Court declared the Federal Reserve to be unconstitional, would that wipe out most of the national debt?

We had a discussion about this last week but apparently someone didn't care for the topic. What is your latest thinking on this.

Technically.

the United states are not in debt, as a matter of fact they are owed a huge sum of money, more money than all the currency's in the world many times over.

Who owes the united States money? Logical question but the answer will throw you off: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is a foreign corporation acting in place of the original jurisdictional government set by the founding fathers. Because the original government of the united States is not allowed to have debt that makes all Citizens debt free (Citizens, not citizens).

If the ron paul movement did this everything would fall into place.

250 Mill. to eliminate debt.

If I am remembering correctly, the original contract with the shareholders of the Federal Reserve could be ended anytime with the Government paying 250 mill. (could be 450 mill. but it is still pocket change compared to 9 trillion) to buy back the shares owned by private bankers. To the best of my knowledge, this figure does not increase over time and the debt would be eliminated. After all the Federal Reserve didn't loan us their own money from their vaults.

So my answer would be yes we could eliminate the debt by buying back the shares owned by International Bankers.

This was written into the original contract and could have been changed when FDR gave sweeping new powers to the Fed (but I am not aware of any such change).

as an American...

I am seeking reparations!

I call for the American Reparations Act of 2008 to be filed immediately against the (non)Federal Reserve to reimburse me, and ALL Americans, for the money stolen from us since 1913...

O Captain, My Captain, rise up and hear the bells!

O Captain! My Captain! Rise up and hear the bells!

and by money,

I assume you mean gold. Demand our gold back from the thieving bastards.

But who are the "bastards"?

What if the U.S.A. said to the "bastards" we're not paying. What would "they" do? We've lost credibiltiy in the last week as the world financial reserve basis. What could "they" do? March an army against us? Tell us "they don't won't to play anymore"?

Who is "they"?

Where's our money going too?

Do we (our children) really have to pay "them"?

What's the recourse if we default?

I think we are about to find out.

It seems that congress is starting to realize that their necks will be on the line as well if they pass the bailout. That is going to be the start of something big. The only thing worse than a spoiled toddler that doesn't get his way is a spoiled banker. At least toddlers don't have access to politicians who have access to the police state, soldiers and nukes. "They" are going to go down, but they are not going to go down without a fight.

"they" is us

The army that will be marched against us will be our own. We the People won't have a chance with pitch forks and torches in a show of arms. Our only shot is to not obey. Stop feeding the monster. Don't give them your hard earned money. Sure, they'll just print what they need, but that game is up, the ponzi scheme is not going to work much longer.

Just say no.

END RUN plan revieled

THEY essentialy want us to become the DERIVITIVE COMPANY FOR our own AMERICAN economy...WE would assume all RISK of DEFAULT or FAILURE....FAILURE which by adding the NAT'L debt ,coupled with the tax for this bailout will be a sure thing....Since they will be the ULTIMATE final CREDITOR, because we make them LIQUID, they can BLACKMAIL or SELL us out upon default...NO more AMERICA....RISK that they already have assumed will be tranfered to the U.S. GOV'T , us citizens...
THEY are not transfering wealth ,THEY are about to transfer HUGE RISK that is forseen by them to be an impending DISASTER...END
says

see to your liberty

easy come/easy go, I guess

NO.....NO....NO....IT would mearly mean the GOV'T could not get into debt by printing notes for use as CREDIT ...What is due as of TODAY still needs paid back to whoever holds the notes I.E.--- THE CREDITORS.......
IT's not all that complicated......You run a household, most of you. ..YOU go to a BANK to loan for a need or a want... The bank becomes your CREDITOR....If they want their money back & you already spent it ,what do you do??? SELL or loan money elsewhere to hold them off .. I.E.get another creditor...Along the way you add this that & the other thing & after a while you owe too much, more than you are worth, in assets that you can sell...Your in a pickle....CREDITOR demands payment ,you cannot provide ,CREDITOR takes you over or sells you out ...SAME scenario with the so called bailout ,only they added a twist to make it look like it is not forced. .SELL you out & buy you back CHEAP...END of AMERICA as we know it....EVERYONES happy while their country & freedom is flushed down the toilet......BUT we will have HEALTHCARE..YEA.THERE is more.but STOP

see to your liberty

Has anyone filed a complant on the fed?

to any US court?

Just say no

What if we just said "we're not going to pay it". What's the recourse?
I say give them the finger, not our future.

seriously

What if the "we the people" said: No, we're not going to pay the interest, the debt, screw you guys. Who do we really owe this too? What would happen?

Bueller? Bueller? Anyone?

No one here has an opinion or answer as to who gets all this money from this criminal “bail-out"? No comments from the trolls? Not even an idea what the consequences would be if we just "reset" and said we aren’t going to pay?

Yes, the credibility we’ve enjoyed for so long as the financial leader of the world would be lost – but isn’t now?

Why pay?

To Whom?

NOPE.....

NOPE.....It would however have a good chance of eliminating all interest charged by the FED on the monetized debt.

No, no, no

1. Reduce the buildings to dust.
2. Public execution for the central and investment banksters--with a suspension of the 8th amendment of the constitution in the case of punishment against bankers.
3. The elimination of fractional reserve banking, fiat currency, and income tax.

We need to make the punishment so heinous and entire that future generations will compare "banking" to cannibalism and incest. The schools should teach that fractional reserve banking is a crime against humanity, and those who practice it should be identified and punished as the leeches and scum that they are.

It would eliminate all but the foreign debt

any debt to the fed and the intl bankers cartel would be gone. For all of us!!

no it would not.. the o nly

no it would not.. the o nly thing that would eliminate this debt would be either it is paid off. (fat chance).. or the government files for bankruptsy or defaults!

If it was declared unconstitutional that would mean the funds

had been obtained through fraud, thereby eliminating the legitimacy of the proceeds.

It would save a bunch

The treasury prints the money and sell it to the fed at less than 2 cents per dollar bill. Whether it is a 1dollar bill, a 10 dollar bill a 100 dollar bill they pay
less than 2 cents per bill. They then lend the money back to us at full face value and charge us interest on it. So their mark up is incredible high.
Today everything is computerized but it pretty much works the same way.
The amount of money we would save by dumping the Federal Reserve would be so huge there would be no need for an income tax and other taxes could be eliminated as well. This is all basic knowledge of how the fed functions.

Are you kidding me?

www.ringsiderevolution.com

Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

Restitution?

Restitution?

If not we should declare it so

The Grace Commission instituted in 1980 by Ronald Reagan found that 100% of all the "income" tax we pay goes to satisfy the interest on the national debt. Google it, it's easy to find.

That coupled with the fact that the Fed IS unconstitutional would lead most Americans to say the hell with the money owed the Fed which is privately owned by a few international banking families.

No, be gone with them!

Lets' support a Constitutional banking system.

Yeah, I'm not so sure about

Yeah, I'm not so sure about this fact. I dunno what the story was in 1980 but the amount of individual income tax revenue is about 50% of the annual revenue for the fed government. The interest cannot be 50% of the fed government budget. It just cannot be possible with all the other spending.

WHAT IF THERE WERE NO

WHAT IF THERE WERE NO HYPOTHETICAL QUESTIONS? :-)

Trust in God, but tie your camel tight.

HAHAHA!!

HAHAHA!!

It would however allow us to charge THEM interest

on any new money, if we didn't just nationalize their assets. They were after all working exclusively with OUR money.

No

No,

It would only eliminate the debt that was to be paid to Federal Reserve System.

The rest of the debt we would have to suit in court not to pay.

We sort of had this same problem when we got rid of the Continental Dollar.

The Continentals argued but agreed, they had to pay all debts in order to have standing in the world and world markets.

Daryl

right...

we would, if I understand things correctly (big if), have obligations to many others besides the fed.

-Phil Hemingway III

If Unconstitutional. I don't believe I have to pay a $ more.

They don't have oversight by us. They make 900% profit each dollar they print.
I think we the people will think they owe us.
Maybe a bit of tar and feathers before we kick them out!

President Wilson said when signing it into law,
The Federal Reserve System was established by President Woodrow Wilson in 1913. The premise used by President Wilson and his financial advisors for the establishment of the Federal Reserve System was to "supplant the dictatorship of the private banking institutions" and "to stabilize the inflexibility of national bank note supplies". The previous system of banking was "feudal" in nature, in which private bankers control communities and could issue their own bank notes. They had little regulations concerning reserve assets and loan policies. Banking was a patch-quilt of institutions scattered across the face of the nation with no central policy.

He said in his papers when he faced death and his maker,

I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.

Do research folks. Don't wait for the Old Media.

Any chance of restitution?

Any chance of restitution?

Yes because the debt is invalid.

We simply don't owe it. It was a fraud.

Other countries will not be happy

I would imagine they would want their "money" back.

Only feasible way to pay off the national debt is to...

follow the plan suggested by the guys who made "The Money Masters" and as endorsed by Milton Friedman:

http://www.themoneymasters.com/mra.htm

There is another way

the fed buys the paper money at the cost of printing, but coins they buy at face value. A 10 trillion dollar coin made of iron anyone? Irony at it's best.

The Federal Reserve IS unconstitutional

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 17 of the Constitution states that the legislative enactements of the United States are restricted to a 10 mile square. That 10 mile square is the District of Columbia. Thus, the District of Columbia is a Federal "Enclave". The Constitution under Article 1, Section 10 also describes that "No state shall make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts."

Being that all legislative enactements are restricted to that 10 mile square (the Federal Enclave), thus the entire Federal Reserve Act of 1913 DOES NOT APPLY OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. It does NOT apply in the several "States." Especially when you also consider Article 1, Section 10. Believe it or not. What they did, and how they were able to extend the Federal Reserve banking system to extend beyond the District of Columbia was mostly by creating ficticious bills of exchange known as government "Bonds." For example, an automobile company such as Ford could apply for a government Bond, known as an "Industrial bond" and they could put up their "Title" (the Ford "Title" and "Property") as collateral. Then all they had to do was "sign" the bond. The bond would then be placed into the Federal Reserve vaults and registered on their books as an asset - say it was a 100 million dollar bond. They would then print out the number of dollars based upon the amount of the bond. If it were a 100 million dollar bond, then it would be considered a 100 million dollar asset. Thus they would print out 100 million dollars and hand it over to Ford to be paid back with interest. That is why it is such a scam. When Ford pays back the 100 million dollar bond WITH interest, thus they will release the bond back over and hand the bond back over to Ford. You can already see how this was all carved out to be a scam from the beginning. Thus it is the CREDIT of the PEOPLE of the United States whom have financed the entire Federal Reserve all along. When a person goes into a bank (which by the way, is a "Federal Reserve" bank)...ALL banks today are extentions of the Federal Reserve (tis why they issue Federal Reserve Notes). Well, when a person goes into any bank today and applies for a "loan," guess what they do? The person fills out a loan application, that loan application is treated as a "Bond." As a "Bond" it becomes collateral for the loan - such as an "IOU" or "Promise to pay." They then submit it to the Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve places it in their vaults and then considers it an asset. They then print the money and supply it to the bank. Let's say it's a $25,000.00 automobile loan. After the Fed prints out and supplies the bank with the $25,000.00, the bank then hands the $25,000.00 to the person applying for the loan - or at least to the car dealer - and then the person accepting this loan promises to repay the entire loan WITH interest. Thus it was the person whom FINANCED the loan in the first place. We could pull the string on the Fed OVERNIGHT and it would be a done deal.

not sure..

But I'm thinkin we need to get back our money from a few folks...

A billion here
A billion there

Too bad we can't declare bankruptcy

We ( United States) have no money and are forced to borrow from them ( Fed/private banks) whether we like it or not. If we were talking about an individual who borrowed money from a bank then that individual could file for bankruptcy and no longer legally owe the debt. The bank (Fed) on the other hand would find itself still owing whatever debt they had ( hopefully the Federal Reserve Notes they printed and profited from through these years). Just so you all know, I realize it is more complicated than this but I can still hope there is some way out of this mess.
