Paul Lectures Bernanke: U.S. Moving Towards Fascism
- Text size
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Thursday, April 3, 2008
The Federal Reserve’s insistence on rewarding its own failures by granting itself new powers was harshly rebuked by Congressman Ron Paul during yesterday’s Joint Economic Committee meeting, as Paul all but accused Ben Bernanke of contributing economicallly to a broader move towards fascism in America.
"There’s a political philosophy that advocates merging together the interests of business and government at the same time with a loss of civil liberties of the people and I’m afraid we’re moving in that direction," said the Congressman, citing warrantless searches, lack of medical, Internet and financial privacy as well as the loss of habeas corpus since 9/11.
"I see….the proposal by the Treasury as a massive move to a lot closer association of business and government," said Paul, adding that a military-industrial complex, a medical-industrial complex and a media-industrial complex were already in place.

Paul was refering to the Treasury Department’s recent proposal to give the Fed, "Broad new authority to oversee financial market stability, in effect allowing it to send SWAT teams into any corner of the industry or any institution that might pose a risk to the overall system," as the New York Times reported.
"We should be regulating the government – when you think of the authority you as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve can do, it really goes unaudited and very little oversight," said Paul, adding that the creation of the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets meant that "we had really given up on the Republic, freedom, the marketplace and sound money".
"It looks like this is a massive increase in the combination of government and big business," said the Congressman.

Why is Ron Paul the only one in congress to ever ask these very basic but important questions. And Bernanke doesn’t even answer all the questions. I guess the other politicians are happy with the status quo of the Federal Reserve; I wonder how they have benefited and how they are benefiting now and how they will benefit in the future. It just seems like no one really cares.

OWNED!

First, there is no doubt about the fact that “the Fed” must be disbanded.
However, I don’t see any difference in what Ron Paul is saying now and what would exist in a “free market” state.
The market now runs rampant.
Thirty to forty percent of prisoners are now housed in privately owned jails that have to remain competitive by keeping costs down (reduced conditions for the prisoners) and profits high (slave labor, experimentation on prisoners, drugs, prostitution…).
If Paul had his way, it would be 100% of the prisoners in privately owned jails – just as Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker, whose names he has recalled in the past, recommended.
Business now controls government, not the other way around.
I don’t see how a free market would solve the major problem of the US, which is corporate fascism. It would only exacerbate it.
And I have trouble believing that Paul isn’t smart enough to know that.

The rest of Congress seems like they don’t care because they are very ignorant about monetary policy. They simply don’t know what to say about the issue. Let’s just hope Congressman Paul can teach them a lesson about how a government should be run!
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:25 am
RON PAUL is The only person with a brain in Congress.
We are beyond facism. There exists NO republic but
rather a quasi mob rule mentality fueled by mind
association PROPOGANDA. The masses are under
the spell of social engineers. Incurably ignorant.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:32 am
Is it me or did anyone get from it a solid answer from Bernanke’s babbling about past situations in the economy?
He could have said this… “Uh… I don’t really think I know the situation that we are in Congressman Paul, but one thing I do know is that I need a direct connection to the Globalist Bankers right now so I can let you know exactly what they want me to do to fuck up the economy even more before anybody knows what’s really going on.”

Doreen,
If you think we have free-market captialism you are sadly mistaken. Government and business united long ago. Just look at all the regulations and taxes imposed on business (mostly small business) and tell me we have free market capitalism. This is outrageous to even suggest that we have a free market. It is controlled by our government and corporate fascism. I will tell you that it was regulation that led to this disaster. You see, by regulation the government was able to control businesses and small farms, thereby being able to eliminate small businesses and farms, while relaxing regulations on big business by giving them the opportunity to outsource overseas through NAFTA, WTO, etc. They have been getting ready to break the back of the this economy for a long time! The inflation of the dollar has been done on purpose, so they can introduce the AMERO as a way to get us out of this mess…the same way they introduced the EURO; by debasing the currencies of independent nations. Take away all the regulation and corporate favors (this includes NAFTA and GATT) and we will have local economies that would thrive. Corporations would no longer be able to use the strong arm of government to eliminate competition! However, we will have world government as David Rockefeller says. We might be able to slow it down, but it will happen. The Word of God says we will in the book of Revelation and it tells us how this will all end!

RP is the ONLY politician who really cares about the citizens. It’s a crime he’s not the Republican candidate for potus.
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:49 am
Ron Paul is an absolute Fearless Patriot! We have got to take back our government from the Globalists who are “deliberately taking away our freedom”….
Please support this man!…Ron Paul
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:51 am
Dissatisfaction with bank failures in the 19th century WAS NOT what led to the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913. That was the most disingenuous statement made by Bernanke, the lying maggot. The Federal Reserve was created by the Warburgs, Morgans, Kuhns, Rothschilds and others for the express purpose of eliminating competition and consolidating power over the control of this nation’s money supply in the hands of a few powerful families. Read The Creature From Jekyll Island. Thomas Jefferson warned us about letting that happen, but we, the sheeple, care more about who won the ball game and who Britney Spears is screwing. Ugh.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
Too bad only very few real intelligent people know this. The rest will have to find out the hard way, when it’s all too late. Everybody loved and trusted Hitler and his Government, at first.
As far as the banking system, it’s not just a coincidence or an era, when recession is inevitable. It has been created this way, on purpose. Put that in your heads.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:00 am
If Ron Paul won’t challenge blatant voting fraud, is he what he seems?
Alex Jones should put his money where his mouth is and stand – if only
for the publicity.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:01 am
Great Job Ron!
Who is the idiot behind him. This guy is defintiely not listening. If he is an elected official he needs to be kicked out the room and out of his job.

Bernanke must hate when RP gets his chance to question the fed chief. “Oh Christ, what’s he going to say to rake me over the coal this time?” I wonder, what do other members say to Bernanke…..I see Ted Kennedy sitting there like Jabba the Hut in a suit and tie. What a fucking joke. Who can use the most words to dance around a topic without saying anything. I’ve known people like that in my life….people who could literally talk for an hour straight, not give you a chance to interject, AND not say anything of substance. Now that’s a skill! Keep going Ron Paul, it really looks like your all we’ve got right now. Keep flicking the Bic under this guy’s sack!
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:05 am
Patriot,
Hey, I noticed that guy behind Ron Paul also. These people are usually interns of some type from a college. They get credit for going up and listening to these debates and briefing. If you will notice there is also a young lady sitting to the left of Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is a sedative to keep us from stringing up these SOB’s. He is their shield of diplomacy which they use to keep the true patriots from truly waking up to the fact we can not get our nation back back with out a true revolution with out the emphasis on LOVE toward demons, but a greater for love of freedom than peace. We love our sleepy comfort more than freedom and truth. Well don’t be too angry when they apply the final solution on his whore called “America”.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 am
Yeah, who’s the bobblehead behind Mr. Paul? He’s rocking as if he’s Autistic but I doubt that he is. Looks like an implant, huh? I have to put a sticky note over him or look away to fully listen to Ron.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 am
Maybe Doreen does not understand as long as bussinesses are allowed to use the government to procure special advantages there will be no free market. Maybe if she read some Austrian ecomonic theory she could better understand what a free market is. The Keysian ecomonmics that is exclusively presented by our public education system has been proven unworkable in communist countries around the world for decades now.
A great American who once said that “those who are willing to give up freedom for security will soon have neither”, was speeking at a time when women did not have the vote. Now since the food and drug industries have chemically castrated the men in this country I don’t think it would even do any good to repeal the nintenth admendment in order to boost the foritude of the voters to chose FREEDOM.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:29 am
you guys should remember watching the movie 300. for all its gung ho pro-bush ideologies, it made a very salient point about the federal reserve and its control over our society.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:32 am
Thanks Ron Paul for being a true representative for the American People! But I’m still waiting to see what your going to do with that campaign money! You have enough where is your strategy? We need him still to challenge these canidates
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:57 am
To Kristian Jerry and Alyssium. It looks to me like this man has parkinsons disease and is taking levodopa, a drug used to counter its effects. One of the side effects of levodopa is that it causes unwanted and involutary movements very typical of those exhibited. (Think of Michael J Fox)
Parkinsons disease affects the ability to co ordinate movements due to a lack of dopamine in the brain but does not affect intellect. Levodopa, while relieving some of the symptoms causes the severe involuntary movements you can see in this video.
Please don’t be so quick to judge others.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:07 am
I love Ron Paul, I credit him for the beginning of my wake up call. Bernanke looks like he wants him dead.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 am
I think Ron Paul is the only hope now for US economic security, but there are still some serious problems with the interest on loans in this “debt money” system that can NEVER be repaid. This will ALWAYS fail! Also, even if we revert to a gold standard, the elite have most of the gold! Ron Paul needs to put together an Emergency Economic Rescue program and get it out to the public ASAP!
The economy has already crashed. They are only keeping it above water artificially UNTIL John McCain has secured the GOP nomination, to take Ron Paul out of the race. Look out for everything to come down this September, 2008.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 am

You can tell how Bernake hates answering questions or listening to Ron Paul
I think Bernake is a sellout to the NWO just like Greenspan.
If you look at the history. Greenspan before he was chair of Fed …advocated also “sound money” etc.,,, gold , silver…and after there is absolutely no mention of that. Seems he had amnesia.
Actually I say most of the problems were caused by Greenspan…He help cause the .com bubble and the current housing bubble… Where artifical low interest rates and lax lending let homeowners buy homes that they know they can’t afford.
Bernake i feel for him, he really took the fed chair seat at a really bad time….
Sellouts I say…
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:31 am
Ron Paul is probably the most brave and intelligent public figure I’ve had the chance to seeing. It’s truly a shame that he people and medias didnt gave him a fair chance. They will all regret it in the end, when their life is also under assault of the fascist state.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:35 am
what ron paul is basically trying to say is this…
DEPRESSIONS AND RECESSIONS ARE MAN-MADE. they are not a normal part of the business cycle. we should have minor fluctuations in the markets not large ups and downs(recessions and depressions)

It’s unfortunate but it’s happening, the US is definitely becoming more and more fascists.

They don’t have the slightest idea about what is going on in the world they live in.

April 3rd, 2008 at 11:39 am
Bernanke got it all wrong, even the dates!
And as for the Clinton, Obama and McCain candidates for our U.S. presidency in 2008, as they are responsible for the chaos and total ruination of this United States, and the ‘Declaration of War’ against Americans and this republic on 9/11/01, implicitly to destroy our U.S. Federal and State governments,
to leave us defenseless under the rule of morons, uniformed thugs, hoodlums and ‘goon squads’, an American public terrorized into beasts of burden to justify their (stolen!) U.S. tax dollar payrolls as job security, it’s time to escort them one and all under armed guard squirreled incognito into the Nazi Gulags which they had built with our again stolen(!) U.S. tax dollars, there to be abandoned stark buck-assed naked as the lawless animals they truthfully are; denied communication or the representation of our American laws which they never had the decency to respect, or the intelligence to uphold!
And we do have better candidates who comprehend the American Constitution which states that American citizens are the law of the land: Ron Paul, former U.S. Atty General Ramsey Clark, Dennis Kucinich, among others to include a Black American woman with the courage, and the cutting-edge of fine blue tempered steel. Lets get them on the ballot! -Cynthia McKenney!
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 am
Bernanke is nothing more than a spokesman for the elitist bankers. Nothing more or nothing less. he is not the problem “it” (the fed reserve) is the problem. until the FED is demolished, it will only get worse. Ron Paul is fully aware of this fact. Unfortunately, he is probably the only one in politics who is. Ron paul is committed to holding these clowns feet to the fire while knowing all the time that it’s just a matter of time when the economy is destroyed & America along with it. He’s simply sounding the alarms. when it’s all said and done he can rest at peace knowing he did his part.

Amazing that helicopter Ben says that the Federal Reserve was created to stop, and control the bubbles and bursts. There has been more depressions and recessions since the Federal Reserve was created than at any other time in the history of the United States.
We must all learn and educate people about how the money in our country works. And more importantly, who has the power over the money supply.
Most people, including many well educated, and financially well off people don’t understand our money system. They actually think that the Federal Reserve System is owned and operated by the United States Government. They wouldn’t even be able to tell one name of a person that is on the Board of Governors for the Federal Reserve.
This is far worse than most would ever want to believe. These bankers want the United States to be a reliant country, not self sustaining like we used to be. There’s no profits to the bank when you use your own profits to re-invest in your business, instead of borrowing to expand.
We, the American public, have had the most elaborate scam pulled on us in all of history. We have given away our power to create, and control our own currency over to a hand full of profit-minded, evil vipers, and international private bankers by authorizing the 13th Amendment. And then, as if they hadn’t done enough damage by becoming a debtor nation to private bankers, they then agreed to insure a minimum payment for interest on the governments borrowed money to the bankers by (you guessed it) passing the Federal Income Tax Act of 1913, the 16th Amendment.
This and this only, is why you have Federal Income Taxes taken out of your check. Every penny of the Federal Income Tax taken from your check is handed directly over to the private bankers who own and control the Central Banks. This is what everyone needs to be educated about.
As long as we have a debt based system it is impossible to have a balanced budget, or ever pay off any deficit, or short fall, you can only sink deeper. It is not designed to ever be paid off, it is designed to keep everyone in debt.
Look beyond your house, your street, your city, your county, your state, and you will see that there is a large monster about to unravel it’s self, it’s starting to unravel now.
Get educated “The Federal Reserve” is a trojan horse about to open it’s doors, and when it does…….as Alex Jones’s movie is titled…..ENDGAME !
Wake up, and wake fast…we don’t have long.
They’ll be invading Iran, later this month.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:10 pm
Its a matter of Record of the United States Congress that the Federal Reserve (that aint Federal and has NO reservers) FUNDED ADOLF HITLER…and….COMMUNISM.
Congressman like J. McFadden openly attacked the Federal Reserve BANKSTERS for FUNDING ADOLF HITLER AND NAZI GERMANY in the halls of the US Congress.
“The Federal Reserve bank has sent so many BILLION Of the US Tax payers money to Nazi Germany that they dare not name the total.” -Congressman J. McFadden
The Federal Reserves owners also funded the “Russian” Revolution (that wasnt created by Russians at all) and set up Communism that put well over 100,000,000 MILLION People in the ground in Communism Russia.
Mr. J. Schiff (part owner of the PRIVATE Federal Reserve) even boasted on his death bed that his “$20,000,000 Million Dollars put Communism in Russia”.
Reports came out last year that the Type Writter Adolf “Hitler” Used to type up the blue print for the Nazi take over of Europe was actually lent to Adolf by a Staff member of the world Top Bankster Family the Rothschild Family (who are the majority owners of “our” Federal Reserve and the Bank of England.)
….Its very interesting that the grandmother of Adolf “Hitler” was a cook in the Vienna house of the Rothschild family where she became “with Child” and then Returned to Austria where she was sent Child Support by the Rothschilds family for the Child that would become Old Adolf “Hitler”s father.
It really is UNREAL that the United States of America CLAIMS to have been the Winner of World War 2 when to this day the people of this nation are STILL the DEBT SLAVES OF OLD ADOLF “Hitlers” FAMILY!
Good thing the Rothschilds/Schiff family were smart enough to buy up the world BIG MEDIA corps (like Reuters and Ass. Press) or they would have been in Jail.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Just a thought, does anyone ever take a step back and realize how incredible this all is? Everything we know? It’s like the movie the matrix, except there’s no physically different dimension that we find ourselves in, once we know the truth. Instead, we find ourselves right in the middle of things, but based on our perception of the world, we might as well be in another dimension. It’s something you never imagined until you realize how real it is.
And all this stepping back and thinking reminded me of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_cave
If you haven’t read it, you should.
Allegory of the cave – the Greek philosopher Plato
Imagine prisoners, who have been chained since their childhood deep inside a cave: not only are their limbs immobilized by the chains; their heads are chained in one direction as well so that their gaze is fixed on a wall.
Behind the prisoners is an enormous fire, and between the fire and the prisoners is a raised walkway, along which puppets of various animals, plants, and other things are moved along. The puppets cast shadows on the wall, and the prisoners watch these shadows. When one of the puppet-carriers speaks, an echo against the wall causes the prisoners to believe that the words come from the shadows.
The prisoners engage in what appears to us to be a game: naming the shapes as they come by. This, however, is the only reality that they know, even though they are seeing merely shadows of objects. They are thus conditioned to judge the quality of one another by their skill in quickly naming the shapes and dislike those who play poorly.
Suppose a prisoner is released and compelled to stand up and turn around. At that moment his eyes will be blinded by the sunlight coming into the cave from its entrance, and the shapes passing by will appear less real than their shadows.
The last object he would be able to see is the sun, which, in time, he would learn to see as the object that provides the seasons and the courses of the year, presides over all things in the visible region, and is in some way the cause of all these things that he has seen.
Once enlightened, so to speak, the freed prisoner would not want to return to the cave to free “his fellow bondsmen,” but would be compelled to do so. Another problem lies in the other prisoners not wanting to be freed: descending back into the cave would require that the freed prisoner’s eyes adjust again, and for a time, he would be one of the ones identifying shapes on the wall. His eyes would be swamped by the darkness, and would take time to become acclimated. Therefore, he would not be able to identify the shapes on the wall as well as the other prisoners, making it seem as if his being taken to the surface completely ruined his eyesight.

Privatization of first major US airport attracts foreign interest
Apr 2 04:23 PM US/Eastern
4 Comments

Foreign investors are lining up to bid to operate Chicago’s Midway International Airport, the first major US airport to be privatized under a federal initiative launched more than a decade ago.
City officials say six consortiums, which include firms from France, Australia, Germany, Canada and Spain, are vying to run Chicago’s secondary airport.
While many European airports were privatized years ago, all commercial airports in the United States are currently operated and owned by local or state governments.
Midway was the first major hub airport to apply for privatization approval since the US congress established a pilot program in 1996 to explore the use of private operators at commercial airports.
Yet it remains unclear whether the effort will generate a backlash if a foreign firm is chosen, in light of security concerns raised after a failed effort by a Dubai group to take over major US ports.
“This will surely generate debate since there may be perceptions about foreign ownership of sensitive or critical transportation properties like we saw with the Dubai port deal,” said Joe Schweiterman, a transportation professor at DePaul University in Chicago.
The groups which have submitted qualifications statements are:
- Spain’s Abertis Infraestructuras SA, Australia’s Babcock & Brown Group and US-based GE Commercial Aviation Services;
- AirportsAmerica Group, consisting of US-based Carlyle Infrastructure Partners LP;
- Chicago Crossroads Consortium, consisting of Australia’s Macquarie Capital Group Limited and Macquarie Airports and US-based Macquarie Infrastructure Partners and Macquarie Infrastructure Partners II;
- Chicago First Consortium, consisting of Germany’s HOCHTIEF AirPort GmbH and HOCHTIEF AirPort Capital GmbH & Co and US-based GS Global Infrastructure Partners I, LP;
- Midway Investment and Development Corporation, consisting of Canada’s YVR Airport Services Ltd. and US-based Citi Infrastructure Investors and John Hancock Life Insurance Co;
- France’s Aeroports de Paris Management and US-based Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and HMSHost Corporation.
The city said that once the firms are determined to be qualified, “the highest bid amount will be the only factor in determining who will operate the airport.”
“We are very enthused with the strong indications of interest we have received from teams wishing to operate Midway in what would be the first lease of a major US airport,” said Paul Volpe, the city’s chief financial officer.
A decision is expected in the next eight to 12 months.
The deal must be approved by federal regulators and 65 percent of the six airlines operating at the airport.
The private operator must also meet safety and security standards and the Transportation Security Administration will continue to oversee screening and airports security.
The 50-year lease is expected to raise between two and three billion dollars for the city.
But while the cash will be a welcome infusion, US municipalities have been wary of giving up control of airports which are often seen as their “crown jewels,” Schweiterman said.
The city will retain control over its primary airport, O’Hare, which handles 76 million passengers a year.
Midway’s five runways handled nearly 304,000 flights and more than 19 million passengers last year
Chicago is leading the nation in the privatization of city services.
It was the first city to lease a major piece of infrastructure in 2005 with a 1.8 billion dollar deal for the right to manage a key toll bridge for 99 years.
In February, the city offered up its 360,000 parking meters for lease after having rented out four of its parking garages to private operators.
It is also considering privatizing garbage collection and is trying to raise money by selling naming rights.

Funny how this has been over looked for soo long and just needs to be given to the people in the proper context…
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. — Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

April 3rd, 2008 at 1:15 pm
that is exactly what every other “american” says (the boring part)… so we need to find a way to get into context they would understand! imagine what the republic would do if they knew they had that power. that would be a beautiful thing.

April 3rd, 2008 at 2:52 pm
kristan that guy behind R.P. sure seems to act like someone with downs syndrome.Minus the look alike of a down syndrome.Wonder if Ron Paul feels like he is in an insane asylum at times
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:55 pm
If I knew a man was about to give an effective talk and wanted to….mess it up a bit , let’s say , I could easily hire a fellow man ( I don’t have to tell him I THINK he looks retarded or crazy [let's say], he doesn’t NEED to know what I’m up to!) , and I instruct him thus :’I want you to go sit behind that guy there , MAKE sure you are on or in camera , and just sit there and act a little funny for me!’. He may ask why , but the more money you offer the less he’ll care! And voila! Job done. No matter how important or booming the talk or conversation is , the speaker looks like he’s surrounded by retards and idiots! These people are full of tricks , but stuck in their rutt , they lack imagination and are quite evident! Look away and listen to the talk , you’ll see the talk is good , but the twoface deflects it outright.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:07 pm
luggnutts lmfao yeah you got it maybe that there paying him to act stupid so people dont hear ron maybe but that must mean im the few of america who can multitask laugh at the paid off clown and hear truth at the sametime whoaaaaaaaaaaaa watchout now
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:11 pm
So many commented on the guy , it prompted me to watch. I already know Ron Paul talks truth. I’m more worried some will miss points because of the ‘SHOW’.
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:17 pm
Ron Paul has once again inspired me to fight this bullshit.

You are very right knight, but are you willing to give up your freedom to live? I don’t know about you, but I think “we” are not included in the “important” file in this upcoming battle. The fact is, American government is corrupted and this is no longer our country. If it was Our America vs. the rest of the world, I’d say hell yes; but it is actually Rich bastards vs. all of humanity, and to that, I say FUCK NO!
April 3rd, 2008 at 3:46 pm
Unless you are a change player at the Carlyle Group or similar type global, corporate entity..you’re discussions about corruption are wasted energies. Money talks, bullshit walks and there’s much bullshit on this site. Get real dudes, your comments don’t add up to a hill of spit. Oh, and Knightmare, the greedy pukes pulling strings will gut your ass as quickly as some gook in China..don’t be a tool and think that globalists give a rats ass about “Americans”. Nationality doesn’t matter… only riches…and burning up slaves.

my wife asked, What’s rome? i explained to her that that was the only city in the world which h. free medicare and free sexcare.
until, that is, fascists took over italy. after that u h. to pay for sex and the doctor. In US, u h. to pay for sex after nearly all squaws h. been killed or put in corrals. before that there was uinversal sexcare. holdit, holdit, it wasn’t rape as eskmos claim. as for doctors, amers still h. to pay them and any other care.
US gov’t was also afraid of too many halfbreeds and started bringing black women. and once again there was free sexcare for some people. it wasn’t an universal right. and it’s antiamerican propaganda that black women were brought in as slaves. we can see that millions of blacks of USA r whiter than blacks from afrika since they r offspring of whiets and original black women who came over w. song in their hearts.
in canada, there h. been free sexcare for priests long before we got free medicare. ok, it’s not quite free.
now that fascist tookover USA, it cost $1000 or more to see a lady in waiting. i saw one of these ladies, she wasn’t better looking than my wife who’s 76.

April 3rd, 2008 at 5:54 pm
I don’t know VP CHENEY FAN with that “twitchy dude” behind Ron Paul. He sure is acting a bit strange huh?
maybe homeland security should have stepped in and grabbed him and tortured him a bit?
maybe he needs to be water boarded until he confesses his Al Qaeda ties?
who knows maybe it’s just some sort of mental or physical disorder?
but wouldn’t you like to just dub him highly suspicious and a possible threat because he just doesn’t look and act right?
and just think FOX News could run a FOX alert “highly suspicious twitchy man. could he be a terrorist?” hey that might even bring up Bush’s approval rating a point or two! get the American people scared again! Maybe even scare some Paul supporters into thinking some Al Qaeda nut was trying to harm Ron Paul! yeah and while we’re at it the cops need to taser more 11 year old retarded kids! oh gotta just love the NWO! isn’t tyranny just great!?!?
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm
she sneaked a peak at him at 34 and then could not resist laughing at 48, i think she wants to massage his head
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Thank you Ron Paul for standing up to these thieves.
April 3rd, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Hey Harry: discussions about government corruption in ANY forum setting has been the way society formed their ideas of their government councils, and such has flourished for a thousand years. If this website is such “bulls*%t,” then how come people like Jesse Ventura, retired U.S. Treasury personnel, retired CIA personnel, the #3 man of Japan’s parliament, and Hollywood bigshots visit this website regularly? Finally: money doesn’t talk anymore when it is getting devalued on a daily basis. Also, if the “bulls*%t” is logical, reasonable, measurable, and is acceptable to a growing concensus, then it isn’t “bull*%t” anymore. It’s something called facts, which you have failed to display.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:13 pm
bernanke is a fool and dr. paul schooled him well
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:16 pm
Is it me, or is my neck and Turret’s something that should have had me removed from the camera view about 5 seconds into this conversation.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Thank you Doctor, Congressman Ron Paul. But I fear your words fell on deaf ears and nothing will be done to stop this drive to facism and the end of the freedoms that we still have left as citizens of the U.S.A.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
Dear Congressman Paul,
Next time you talk to Bernanke can you ask him if he is purposely destroying the U.S economy to bring about a Communist revolution as what occurred in the Soviet Union (Russia) in 1917
The first depression was also caused by the Federal Reserve, hoping that society would rebel from starvation and cause a Bolshevik type revolution, it almost succeeded in Germany albeit that Hitler beat them to it.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:40 pm
Kick his ass Doc.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
It’s to late, The United States has become a super police state. There are so many laws now. Every single citizen breaks laws everyday, so many is plain rediculus. I guarentee you , your breaking laws everyday and dont even know it.
It’s completely out of control. It’s bull shit and everyone knows it. Then no one does anyting about it.
Here in florida you get caught with a majauna cigeret and get 20 years in prison. Lets do the math here .
20 years at 42,000 a year to house a single inmate. hmmm u c what i’m getting at.
now lets take 1 million inmates at 40,000 a year . lol now it becomes apparent just how badly screwed up the system realy is.
This land is not free. YOU ARE A FINANCIAL SLAVE THE ECONOMY. The gov is totaly currupT and THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF US.
80% POPULATION REDUCTION ? seems to me like this is allready in the works.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:49 pm
Reply to fearless – yep and the Natural course of things in this enviroment politically speaking, is deterioration.
We’ve gone from just ging away our rights to having them outright taken without any reaction from the People.
Because the People are so easily fooled into these manipulations . A lot of it is like…..You wake uo one dasy and someone tells ya. You can’t do that anymore. It’s against the Law. You’re like WTF?
When did that happen. And it Happens faster and faster these Days. It’s a natural progression of out of control Government.
Even though we inform and gather folks to the Cause.
Government willnot stop being Government.
April 3rd, 2008 at 7:51 pm
One of these Days. I’d hope to Hear Paul tell bernnake on TV.
You’re a traitor to this Country sir.
Wow? I wonder how many people that would knock out of their chairs? LOL
April 3rd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
“Harsh?!” You call THAT “harsh?” LOL! Paul was mealy-mouthed and let Bernanke get away scott-free with no real answer to his questions, as well as a lot of doubletalk and outright lies, such as his claim the Fed was created to stop boom and bust cycles. What a joke! It has CREATED MORE of them! And all for the profit of those who own the Fed, of course; i.e., Bernanke’s REAL bosses.
April 3rd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
hmmmm… whether u felt he was too harsh or too soft, he’s the only one even asking these questions. IE, giving a shit about the direction this country is headed
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 pm
Look at the man in the background…………
Hidden message???
I think so,
No really look at him, he looks insane, thus the implication is that Paul is insane too.
Just wondering if anyone else noticed that.
Justyn.

I’m wishing that i had the biggesty stage, with the biggest mic, with the biggest sound sytem, so I could say: “Let’s hang the federal reserve from ropes!”
April 4th, 2008 at 3:41 am
Ron Paul Wouldn’t last 2 weeks in the Whitehouse before he had a heart attack or a stroke or some other mishap. Governments today are more like mafia’s, and both consider themselves gods. Mad money has created a devil of a voice inside these monsters heads to ignore laws and focus only on the little people when called for. Only difference is today’s taxes pay-off the untouchables [in office] to change the rules to suit them and the big bucks. How sad that the only thing that can now bring them down is sexual misconduct and not the mass death of innocent people. Does murder no longer matter in America? No, it does not.
So which is worse. Those who worship the satanic lords [who behave more like spoiled rotten celebraties than the low life politicians that they really are] , or the average citizen that continues to blindly stare into space? We have lost the true life in living
April 4th, 2008 at 5:55 am
Allow me to quote a section from the must-see video on line, “The Money Masters”, starting at time=[1:46:53], illustrating how the “business cycle” is not natural, but manufactured, and operatied like a pump, to pump wealth from the many to the few:
20. J.P. Morgan and the crash of 1907
Now it was time for the Money Changers to get back to the business of a new private central bank for America. During the early 1900’s, men like JP Morgan led the charge. One final panic would be necessary to focus the nation’s attention on the supposed need for a central bank. The rationale was that only a central bank can prevent bank failures.
Morgan was clearly the most important banker in
America, and, a suspected agent for the Rothschilds. Morgan had helped finance John D. Rockefeller’s Standard Oil empire; he had also helped finance the monopolies of Edward Harriman in railroads, of Andrew Carnegie in steel, and of others in numerous industries.
But on top of that, JP Morgan’s father, Junius Morgan, had been America’s financial agent to the British. After his father’s death, JP Morgan took on a British partner, Edward Grenville, a longtime director of the Bank of England. In fact, upon Morgan’s death, his estate contained only a few million dollars. The bulk of the securities most people thought he owned were in fact owned by others.
In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt allegedly went after Morgan and his friends by using the Sherman Anti-Trust Act to try to break up their industrial monopolies. Actually, Roosevelt did very little to interfere in the growing monopolization of American industry by the bankers and their surrogates. For example, Roosevelt supposedly broke up the Standard Oil monopoly. But it wasn’t really broken at all. It was merely divided into seven corporations all still controlled by the Rockefellers. The public was aware of this thanks to political cartoonists like Thomas Nast, who referred to the bankers as ” the Money Trust”.
By 1907, the year after Teddy Roosevelt’s reelection, Morgan decided it was time to try for a central bank again. Using their combined financial muscle, Morgan and his friends were secretly able to crash the stock market. Thousands of small banks were vastly over-extended. Some had reserves of less than 1%, thanks to the fractional reserve principle. Within days, bank runs were commonplace across the nation. Now Morgan stepped into the public arena, and offered to prop up the faltering American economy by supporting failing banks with money he manufactured OUT OF NOTHING.
It was an outrageous proposal, far worse than even fractional reserve banking, but Congress let him do it. Morgan manufactured $200 million worth of this completely reserveless private money, and bought things with it, paid for services with it, and sent some of it to his branch banks to lend out at interest.
His plan worked. Soon the public regained confidence in money in general and quite hoarding their currency. But as a result, banking power was consolidated even further into the hands of a few large banks.
April 4th, 2008 at 6:03 am
Bernanke fails to mention that the economic crisies before 1913 were generated by failed attempts at central banking and insider trading on the part of Morgan et all.
Margin Loans anyone ?????????
April 4th, 2008 at 6:12 am
They KILL fascists in America don’t they?
April 4th, 2008 at 6:20 am
Thank you, Proud Primate, for the history lesson that America needs. I’m just starting on Money Matters, and it is eye-opening to say the least.
Amazing that JP Morgan and the Bush’s have been tied together for nearly 100 years, and here we go again with a backroom, Sunday morning deal when no one was looking to steal wealth from millions and give it to Morgan for pennies on the dollar.
Bush and Morgan took a play out of a 90 year old playbook and ran it flawlessly again. Now they are set to give the FED even more power? Shame on America for letting this happen.
April 4th, 2008 at 8:05 am
I tried commenting at youtube on this video of Paul lecturing the NWO agent Bernanke. They let me comment once but not twice. There is another poster who was able to comment 3 times, once immediately above and 2 below my comment.Youtube is no doubt owned partially by the federal reserve owners with their bought and paid for gopher agents monitoring the website.
I always am amazed at how gullible the American people are and those that sit in those meetings with the ties and white shirts ( I think it is a sign of mental illness and incompetence and a conformity complex) that Paul is the only one who is asking these obvious questions.
I am also amazed that we accept the answers of Rothschild (read in one place they own 53% in the federal reserve) agent Bernanke. Bernanke always says “We do make mistakes”, “We’ll do better next time”,”We are human”.
Maybe Hitler could have used these words when he went into Poland. Maybe it would have worked. He could have just said I made a mistake and I’ll do better next time. Sorry about that. Maybe the world would have bought it.
Agent Bernanke even fessed up that the federal reserve CAUSED the 1930s depression. How much clearer could it be ? The FR bought up many banks, businesses etc on the cheap during the 1930s depression. The FR consolidated its power. How stupid we are ? Put a gun in our face and the perp is doomed. Rob us blind by financial subtlety and the we are made paupers and homeless in a country our forefathers conquered.
My point is that the federal reserve is INTENTIONALLY ON PURPOSE doing what they are doing to destroy the US financially. Unless someone literally puts a GUN in the face of people they dismiss these verbal baloney phrases that are masking the deliberate destruction of America financially by the secretive bankers AS REAL REASONS for the fed’s behavior.
Why takeover America by force, when doing it by financial subterfuge has worked so well. Just a few “sorry we are human” phrases and that is the extent of the investigation.
Best way to destroy a nation is to debase its currency. With the US middle class out of the way who will oppose the NWO takeover.
April 4th, 2008 at 3:53 pm
Ben Bernanke tried to make the point that the Federal Reserve came into being because of the bank failures and recessions/depressions of the late 1800’s in order to stabilize the business cycle. He got it backwards. Instead, these bank failures and recessions/depressions were in fact triggered to allow further consolidation and greater power for the nation’s bankers. Proposed fixes for today’s housing bubble trade worthless paper, mortgage-backed securities from companies who made poor business decisions, for money printed out of thin air from the Fed, giving them control over real estate, as well as banking. One person’s bust is another person’s boom. That’s how the business cycle ought to work, and the sooner we let the natural business cycle take it’s course, the sooner we’ll pull out and recover from this recession.

Johnny, your punctuation is faulty, I’m sorry to say. You must have meant,
“They KILL, Fascists in America, don’t they?” to which the answer is, “Yes, they do — JFK, RFK, MLK, and so many more — Paul Wellstone, William Colby, Abe Lincoln, JFK Jr. Yep, the fascists in America kill without compunction of any kind. They laugh and brag about it.”

Is Ron Paul the only guy in washington who understands this?I’m wondering how many ways there plotting to kill him.He seems like the only politician in America that represents the American people!I was in a gun store yesterday,all there inventory is gone(except a few pistols and antiqued rifles)there suppliers are so far on back order they cant even tell them when any new shipments will go out.I overheard one of the sales guy advicing a client about chosing a “common” amo weapon i.e. militiary,law enforcement,nato ,in order to insure having a weapon that could be reloaded with whatever rounds you could get in the event of “emergency”.The guy thanked the salesman profusely and said he was shocked and delighted that someone gave him straight talk.By the way the store was wall to wall packed with people.
