Ahhhhhhhh! Isn't that funny? I guess I'm not the only one with an intense desire to insure that people understand that the Federal Reserve Bank is not "Federal", it "reserves" nothing, and is nothing like a "bank". An excellent Main Stream Media article to really push that information home.
"This explains why when in late 2002 Saddam Hussein decided he
would do his UN-sanctions authorized “One Billion Dollars
Iraqi Oil for Food” trade with the West in euros instead of
dollars, he was quickly visited by the Fed’s military branch in
March 2003.
Or take Muammar Kaddafi who in 2011 was about to launch a program
to trade Libyan and North African oil using a new gold-backed
currency – the gold dinar. He too got a little visit from Peace
Prize Barack and Babylon Hillary. Do you begin to see the
pattern?"
Do YOU see the pattern here? As I have explained several times before (and thought that I mentioned in in yesterdays article, but alas it seems to of disappeared from the rough draft....):
The Federal Reserve Bank Cartel controls every perceived "National" Central bank of every country, with the exception of the last 3 Independent central banks that are left standing- there were 6 independent, non-Federal Reserve Bank controlled Central Banks up until just recently. The three that are now under the control of the FRB Cartel are: Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya...... The last remaining independent Central Banks are in North Korea, Iran and Cuba.
.... well isn't that just a little bit interesting, eh? What else do these three countries have in common?
.......The Gulf war(s) had very little to do with "Oil" (although that was obviously a nice little bonus) and everything to do with taking over the Central Banks of countries that were about to decapitate the Federal Reserve's dollars and make a stand. 911 was just an excuse to put their armies in the countries that they wanted to take over and control. I've written quite a bit about Iraq and the "RV" (Revaluation of the Iraqi currency) over the years, and a good amount of info can be found
HERE. When you understand the background to WHY and WHO and HOW, then you will see the bigger picture of all that has been done over the last century of official Federal Reserve Bank rule.
"Epilogue: Fed Up?
One would have thought that something as important as whether to
continue to allow a private FED to operate in its present format,
or revamping it, or even doing away with it after a whole
century, would be something that should be squarely on the
American and global public agenda… big time!
And yet all we have is silence from the US Government, Congress
and politicians; silence from world leaders; total silence from
the mainstream media, and from the academic world."
....and when the US "government", congress, and the world leaders and their "governments" are silent, one has to ask: who is buying their gag?
ps: oh and this control and manipulation and fraud started much longer ago that just a simple "100 years". A great starting place for a historical run down can be read at New Tomorrow:

HERE..... as I said yesterday, the Rabbit hole is very very deep.

Monday 23 December marks the
100th Anniversary of the creation of the Federal Reserve System - the
Central Bank of the United States of America.
The mainstream media are keeping remarkably quiet about this key
milestone.
No doubt, they know only too well that growing millions of
workers inside and outside the US are realizing that a century of
central banking monopoly in the hands of a private clique of
usurer banksters is enough. More than enough!
‘Twas the night before Christmas…
…when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not
even a mouse”. These words written by 19th Century American
poet, Clement Clarke Moore, aptly describe the scene a hundred
years ago when the Federal Reserve Act was discretely
rubberstamped in the US Congress: true, hardly a mouse was
stirring either in the House or in the Senate… But the big rats
were definitely there to vote in their act!
1913: Woodrow Wilson was President of the United States; World
War One was but eight months away; and three years earlier a very
hush-hush meeting had taken place at mega-banker, John Pierpont
Morgan’s, private estate on Jekyll Island off the coast of
Georgia.
Bloomberg News
described this in a February-15, 2012 article as
“a
secret meeting that launched the Federal Reserve Bank. In
November 1910, a group of government and business leaders
fashioned a powerful new financial system that has survived a
century, two world wars, a Great Depression and many
recessions.”
That’s the Bloomberg Version. The ugly truth is probably exactly
the opposite: in November 1910 a group of government, banking and
business leaders fashioned a powerful new financial system that
triggered, promoted and imposed a century of conflict and
genocide, including two world wars, a Great Depression, many
recessions and systematic mega-banker bailouts using taxpayer’s
money.
In 1995, American investigator and author, G. Edward Griffin,
published what is clearly the most authoritative book on the
“FED” – as it is colloquially called in banking circles
and by the mainstream media –
“The Creature from Jekyll
Island”.

Griffin’s book describes how a top secret conspiracy – sorry,
can’t think of a better phrase – of very high-powered bankers,
government officials and foreign agents met to plan the take-over
of the American economy, finance and national currency, the US
Dollar, to then wage global wars of conquest.
Bloomberg went on to describe how Rhode Island Senator, Nelson
Aldrich, whose daughter married John D. Rockefeller Jr,
“invited men he knew and trusted, or at least men of
influence who he felt could work together: Abram Piatt Andrew,
assistant secretary of the Treasury; Henry P. Davison, a business
partner of JP Morgan's; Charles D. Norton, president of the First
National Bank of New York; Benjamin Strong, another Morgan friend
and the head of the Bankers Trust; Frank A. Vanderlip, president
of the National City Bank; and Paul M. Warburg, a partner in
Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and a German citizen.”
Paul Warburg was the actual mastermind behind the FED.
Interestingly, his main partner at Kühn, Loeb & Co, Jakob
Shiff, had just financed the Japanese war against the Russian
Tsar; he would later channel 20,000,000 US dollars via a Russian
exile living in Brooklyn by the name of Lev Davidovich Bronstein
(better known as Leon Trotsky) to ensure the 1917 victory of the
Bolshevik Revolution.
Neither 'Federal', nor 'Reserve', nor a 'Bank'
Actually, it’s a
“system”. Officially, the
“Federal
Reserve System” wields full control over the US Dollar, not
to serve the American people but on the contrary the interests of
private bankers, who hold its very special type of stocks and
shares.
In practice, the FED is over 95 percent privately-owned, is not
integrated into the US Government, nor accountable to any branch
of government. There is nothing
“Federal” about it as it
lies fully outside the government system of checks-and-balances.
Nor does it
“Reserve” anything. Rather it arbitrarily
prints all the money the mega-bankers and power elites need to
keep the
“globalized” world rolling in the direction
that they wish and need. This includes such things as
multi-trillion dollar
“quantitative easings” to keep
Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, CityCorp, Wachovia and JPMorgan
Chase happy and
“healthy”; financing clandestine and
terror operations to overthrow the governments of Iran,
Nicaragua, Argentina, Cuba, Chile, Syria, Libya, Vietnam and many
others; waging decades-long wars against Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Iraq, Africa and Latin America; unflinchingly supporting
“little Israel’s” genocide in Palestine and its
“democratic” 400-bomb strong nuclear program; and
keeping Wall Street on permanent life-support.
Finally, it is definitely no
“Bank” in the sense of a
financial institution promoting the credit needs of the real
economy for the benefit of the vast majority of the working
population’s needs.
Rather, the FED supports the financial needs of the global war
system, covert operations, usury, drug dealers, and the global
banksters.

The FED answers to no one. It clearly does not serve
“We the
People” of the US or anywhere else. Its purpose is to serve
the global power elites, regularly meeting to plan world
government through entities like the Council of Foreign
Relations, Trilateral Commission, Bilderberg, World Economic
Forum and others forming part of todays’ intricate planetary web
of global money power.
Straight from the horse’s mouth
In a Public Broadcast System (PBS) interview on
“News
Hour”
aired on September 18, 2007, US journalist Jim Lehrer had
this Q&A session with former decades-long Fed Chairman (and
JP Morgan bank officer) Alan Greenspan:
Jim Lehrer:
“What is the proper relationship between a
chairman of the Fed and a president of the United States?”
Alan Greenspan:
“Well, first of all, the Federal Reserve is
an independent agency, and that means, basically, that there is
no other agency of government which can overrule actions that we
take. So long as that is in place and there is no evidence that
the administration or the Congress or anybody else is requesting
that we do things other than what we think is the appropriate
thing, then what the relationships are don’t frankly
matter.”
Huh? If you’re a US citizen, you should re-read the above once or
twice.
The FED System lies at the root of US
“superpower”
status. Allow me to explain how the FED scam really works from
the point of view of someone living in Argentina - a very
down-trodden country repeatedly made to bite the dust by the
global power elites through their local agents imposed upon us
through money-power
“democracy”.
This means that every time Argentina needs to buy 100
dollars-worth of, say, oil, medicines or technological
components, the Argentine people must work to earn those 100
dollars through exports and genuine work.
By comparison, every time the US Government needs to buy 100
dollars-worth of oil, medicines or whatever, all they need to do
is tell the Fed to print 100 dollars and that’s that. Let’s just
say that this makes it much easier to be a
“superpower”.
OK, the mechanism’s not that simple, but this certainly explains
schematically how the whole US-Dollar power system really works.
It also explains why the elites won’t tolerate anybody
challenging the dollar.
Oh, when the Fed... comes marchin’ in…
Look at the world’s oil market. It is a monopoly run by three
global trading centers located in New York, London and Dubai. The
idea is to ensure that
“petro-dollars” flow around the
world 24/7, and only incidental small amounts should flow back
into the US financial system.
This explains why when in late 2002 Saddam Hussein decided he
would do his UN-sanctions authorized
“One Billion Dollars
Iraqi Oil for Food” trade with the West in euros instead of
dollars, he was quickly visited by the Fed’s military branch in
March 2003.
Or take Muammar Kaddafi who in 2011 was about to launch a program
to trade Libyan and North African oil using a new gold-backed
currency – the gold dinar. He too got a little visit from Peace
Prize Barack and Babylon Hillary. Do you begin to see the
pattern?
But don’t think that the FED’s global financial enslavement
system is simply aimed outside the US; it kicked off a century
ago by first silently enslaving the very people of the United
States it is supposed to serve.
Here’s how that works: every time the US Government decides to
put money into circulation – those 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 dollar
bills we’re all so familiar with – instead of asking the
government mint to print them at a penny’s cost in paper and ink,
the government instead asks the private banksters at the Fed to
print those bills for the Treasury, in exchange delivering to the
Fed interest-bearing US Treasury Bills and Bonds, which
translates into trillions of dollars’ in profits funneled to the
private banking elite though the Fed.
It was all so well planned a hundred years ago, that just before
the Federal Reserve Act was passed on December 23, 1913, they
also maneuvered to close this parasitic circle, for if the US
Government was to begin making gigantic interest payments to the
Fed just for printing its own money, they first needed to have a
revenue scheme in place to milk the American taxpayer: the Income
Tax Act!
Mark Wilson/Getty Images/AFP
Actually, it was the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution passed
by Congress in July 1909, and enacted as law in February 1913.
Thus international banksters have been ripping off Americans and
getting America to fight their wars as proxies for a full
century, whilst most of the population haven’t got a clue of
what’s going on.
Clearly, the FED lies so far above the US White House, Congress
and Supreme Court, that over the past five decades no one has
been able to have a proper audit done on its books and numbers.
Oh, you Homer Simpsons!
Not that you haven’t been warned. In 1923, Minnesota
representative, Charles Lindbergh, father of the famous aviator,
sent an early warning:
“The financial system has been turned
over to the Federal Reserve Board which administers the finance
system by authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is
private, conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest
possible profits from the use of other people’s money.”
In the 60’s, republican senator and presidential candidate, Barry
Goldwater, said
“most Americans have no real understanding of
the operation of international moneylenders; the accounts of the
Federal Reserve system have never been audited; it operates
outside the control of Congress and manipulates the credit of the
United States.” Today, former representative, Ron Paul, has
been sending the same message.
Even president John Kennedy understood this when he issued
Executive Order No. 11110 on June 4, 1963, ordering the US
Treasury to print zero-interest public money to the tune of 4.3
billion dollars, fully bypassing the Fed. But he too ran into
some trouble in Dallas barely five months later on 22 November.
Epilogue: Fed Up?
One would have thought that something as important as whether to
continue to allow a private FED to operate in its present format,
or revamping it, or even doing away with it after a whole
century, would be something that should be squarely on the
American and global public agenda… big time!
And yet all we have is silence from the US Government, Congress
and politicians; silence from world leaders; total silence from
the mainstream media, and from the academic world.
And so you little parasitic mega-bankers running planet Earth:
come Monday 23 December you can uncork all the champagne you like
and celebrate your
“One Hundredth Masters of the Universe
Slave Drivers Anniversary”, partying on straight into
Christmas Day.
Then, come Thursday 26th, just carry on crucifying the entire
world. For you it will be business as usual.
