Thanks. I just feel this is more Breaking News than just ordinary news.

Making the other thread Breaking would be nice, and lowering this one is fine with me...

While we read how the FED has been abusing American Taxpayers, the MSM ignores the story and the sheeple of the USA go back to watching Dancing with the Stars.

That is why I am not ignoring it, and I am posting as Breaking News on Freeper Land. I hope the Admins don't take it down as Breaking...

Poster Maggief has a real good article, too.

” “The American people are going to be outraged when they understand what has been going on,” “

Sadly, it’s only a few Economics Wonks, and a few FReepers ( and probably only a tiny minority of this select group) that will care to follow this, and try to understand, enough to be outraged....

Out in the world of the Great Unwashed, this won’t even cause a ripple....

The only outrage here is that Ron Paul continues to spout conspiracy theories for his on political gain.

The FED was doing exactly what it was supposed to do in it's role as lender of the last resort during a banking liquidity crisis.

Yes, it "was doing exactly what it was supposed to do;" that is bailing out African (read Gaddafi) banks and other foreign banks behind our backs, with no checks, balances or any input whatsoever.

We all know that this is exactly why the U.S. Federal Reserve was created - NOW DON'T WE.

Didn't take long before a banksta apologist showed up.

>>“The American people are going to be outraged when they understand what has been going on,”<<

Yep, I certainly am.

These people need to go to jail for this monumental fiscal mismanagement.

This IS a national security issue.
