Could be worse.
Yup, that would be worse.
Meanwhile, we have this aimed at our elections...
Forget the Russians: It’s the Federal Reserve Seeking to
Meddle in Our Elections
09/05/2019Ron Paul
The US Constitution never granted the federal government
authority to create a central bank. The Founders, having
lived through hyperinflation themselves, understood that
government should never have a printing press at its
disposal. But from the very beginning of America’s founding,
the desire for a crony central bank was strong.
In fact, two attempts were made at creating a permanent
central bank in America prior to the creation of the Fed.
Fortunately, the charter for The First Bank was allowed to
expire in 1811, and President Andrew Jackson closed down the
Second Bank in 1833.
But, unfortunately, a third attempt was successful and the
Federal Reserve was unconstitutionally created by Congress
in 1913. Americans have been living under a corrupt and
immoral monetary system ever since. The Federal Reserve is
the printing press that has financed the creation of the
largest government to ever exist. Endless welfare and
endless military spending are both made possible by the
Federal Reserve. The Fed can just print the money for
whatever the US establishment wants, so those of us who long
for a Constitutional and limited government have few tools
at our disposal.
Despite all the propaganda claiming “independence,” the Fed
has always been a deeply political institution. Because the
Fed is a government-created monopoly with key government-
appointed employees, its so-called “independence” is a mere
fiction. However, the US Congress created the Fed with
legislation; it can also abolish the Fed with legislation.
Last week, the facade of Federal Reserve “independence” was
dealt a severe blow. Ironically, the person who broadcast to
the world that the Fed is anything but “independent” was ex-
New York Fed President Bill Dudley. Dudley wrote that,
“Trump’s re-election arguably presents a threat to the
United States’ and global economy, and if the goal of
monetary policy is to achieve the best long-term economic
outcome, the Fed’s officials should consider how their
decisions would affect the political outcome of 2020.”
The timing of Dudley’s threats to use Fed monetary policy to
affect the outcome of a US election couldn’t come at a more
striking time. After all, for more than two solid years
Americans have been bombarded with fabricated stories about
Russians rigging our elections. And yet here is a Federal
Reserve official threatening to do the same exact thing -
but this time for real!
Whether it’s the mainstream media, the CIA, the FBI, or now
the Federal Reserve, more and more Americans are waking up
to the fact that there is a Deep State in America and its
interests have nothing to do with American liberty. In fact,
our liberty is what the Deep State wants to abolish.
When it comes to the Federal Reserve, I stand firmly by my
conviction that it needs to be audited and then ended as
soon as possible.
America’s Founders were not perfect. They were human beings
just as capable of error as we are. But they had a
remarkable understanding of the ideas of liberty. They
understood that liberty cannot exist with a government that
has access to a printing press. Sound money and liberty go
hand-in-hand. If we want to enjoy the blessings of Liberty,
we must audit and then end the Federal Reserve!
