House Passes Bill to Audit the Fed
I have just received confirmation from a very credible Congressional
source that the bill to audit the Federal Reserve is included in the
House financial reform legislation which passed today. My source says:
The Fed audit provision which passed the Financial Services Committee a few weeks ago is part of the bill. This
is a real milestone, as it means that the full House of Representatives
has passed a bill that mandates a complete audit of the Fed.
The effort to audit the Fed - supported by 79% of the American people - is gaining traction.
Call your Senator and demand that the Senate approve the bill to audit the Fed.
I guess that people should sit relaxed, just because the writing services would help to write the classification essay of perfect quality.
The government will roll out the Roswell aliens before they allow anyone to audit the Fed.
Madness:
please - this is child's play. In the murky twilight of holiday distractions, the bill will go to conference, Fed portion disembowled Braveheart style, after pretend battle and hard fought compromise, passed in name only. Then they will credibly be able to say "reform delivered, party's over, go away." If anything, "reform" will be rendered even more irrelevant and useless in the process. Paul knows this.
add to that the $2 trillion raising of the debt ceiling buried in a bill to fund the troops, and u have completed a well timed Xmas present to our elitist rulers. Merry Christmas.
Yes Virginia there is no collateral.
This is nearly as HuGE as my Phat AsS, but we're only 1/3 of the way there and we all lnow where Oslama stands on it
Nothing of much truth will come of any audit. It has been talked about for enough time for the rats to run around eating up all the poo they can find and shitting out roses. At least there is some response to popular demand and some rousing of the masses. Still...
Something stinks...HooFlungPoo
didnt they destroy building 7 for just this purpose??
Hurray for Dr. Paul! But I wonder if they are ever going to stop the looting and start the prosecuting?! I heard that back in the 1980's literally a thousand banking crooks went to jail. Ok now we've had two: Stanford and Madoff. What about the other 998?
They will probably resurect Arthur Anderson to do the audits. Nothing matters until it matters but when it matters it really matters.
+100.8
the .8 is to assure skeptics how accurate we are
When will the audit be??? The problem with auditing a secretive entity like the Fed is that they will have months to hide the really bad scary stuff.
it WILL pass in the senate, becuase it is in conjunction with all the crap socialist welfare Democrats want to keep the poor shut up by giving them worthless toilet paper ( Federal Reserve Notes)
nonetheless, CONGRATS TO US FIGHTERS ALL FOR SEEING THIS BILL PASSED.
VOTE any senator that does not support the strong wishes of the people OUT! Stop the theft and corruption!
Pull your money from all big banks and send a message to these crooks! We must act collectively, because our government is captured by Wall Street.
Its the only power we have left.
I was an Obama supporter, but after reading the Taibbi article, I am so disgusted. Obama is doing the exact opposite of what he promised the Amerian people!
LET THE BANKS FALL---We dont care!
LET THESE CRIMINALS PAY for their actions--stop dumping it on the American people and trashing our dollar and hard earned savings.
You will all be voted out as soon as we can do it.
but the Fed has a secret weapon called the Media

Is it just me, or did the tide just shift a little? As Matt Taibbi mentions in his video regarding his latest article - his article was almost ruined when a few members of the House actually did some stuff. You can tell in his article that he quickly added the last page.
So, the Congressional critters are getting ready for the holidays and some "Christmas Tree Bills" perhaps?
Enjoy the $rally while it lasts, welcome the Y -shaped recovery

FUCK YOU I WON'T DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!!!!

This is priceless! SNL skit of Obama vs. Hu Jintao

It will die in the Senate. No chance at all this will pass. Anything that would reveal what has been going on for the last year is DOA. The Senate is even more crooked than the house if that is possible. I guess less members mean much more money to split. I hate this shit. The Dems have shown little enthusiasm and the GOP just doesn't want to do anything that could possibly make Obama look like he's doing something. They don't have they have never had the capacity to separate politics for the good of the country. The Dems are also looking more like them. They are more like a shiv in the back instead of straight forward back alley beating.
No chance that the limousine liberals are going to let this through. Total Opposite of the House.
I have heard any audit won't get approved for years. The FED knows if they are fully-audited, their criminality will be exposed for all to see, and the whole corrupt house of manipulated cards comes down.
I would love to see it happen, because the longer we allow them to cloak their corruption in secrecy, the longer we are ROBBED.
CALL YOUR SENATORS---Demand they vote for this audit or they will be voted OUT!
Good first step.
Its the DC way. The easiest way to bury something the people want is to hide it in the stinkiest pile of horeshit around.
the senate will be an uphill battle....even if a miracle occurred and it passed, i can assure you that rockefeller waterboy barry soetoro will veto it....
What does it say though, that Dr. Paul voted against a bill which had his own legislation as an amendment?
What new devilry this way comes?
The House financial services package is a lousy bill. The audit the fed provision will not survive the Senate.
If there were any real interest in the "audit the fed" movement, it would require extensive hearings. Beyond simply auditing the Fed, the larger issue is to broach the subject of Fed oversight as this concept is broader and indicative of legitimate interest.
While I share your cynicism, I do not think the realistically tough odds of getting this thru the Senate and conference committee intact should stop us from trying, working it...and you never know, some damning info or scandal could happen between now and final Senate action on bill that forces their hand. A pup can hope.
If you look at history in this country, there have been times when populist pressure overcame horrible corruption and concentrated power/wealth and the tireless efforts of those in the face such strong parasites have left our country much better off than it would have been. Remains to be seen if now is one of those times.
I do think we should be realistically guarded and prepared about the difficulties, but we should not stop pushing.
Two years ago, who would have thought Ron Paul would have gotten this far on this issue. While his previous efforts were largely ineffective at the time, they were not wasted.
I agree Colonial. The vote would have had to been veto proof too.
As long as Geithner and Summers are in there , this would never survive a veto pen.
This was a feel good vote. The bill itself sucks too. I understand why Paul was forced into voting against it. No regulation of deritives. Virtually no corrective actions for what started all this.
I contacted one of my Senators.Maybe you too have heard of Kay Hagan.I got a canned extra smarmy/patronizing response.She is firmly in the enemy camp.A totally worthless captured joke.
The bitch will be VOTED OUT ASAP. She will be reminded who she works for.
not till 2014. She was interviewed by local radio in Raleigh on Friday and she said she had failed to "take a position" on S. 604. Absolute lie, she's taken a position, on her back ...
Actually she is on all fours canine-style for full access to all apertures . . .
she's a cheap whore....and that's stating the
case politely.
Please do not insult whores by associating them with corrupt politicians.
+1...
There isn't one there that isn't a whore, sir. We've a government of whores. They are trash, absolute trash, all fifty states worth. And they are likely to put a stop to any serious attempt to put the breaks on their personal scams.
One day the people will have something quite decisive to say to these eels with the "botox and the shiney white teeth", as someone above put it, and it won't be through a legislative proposal. But don't count on the Fed being audited any time soon. They'd call out the military to suppress something like that.
Do you think that we will get real numbers from the audit?
Or will the Fed adjust them first?
The Federal Reserve is an anti-democratic anachronism that needs to be reined in.
The Feds ability to harness full faith and credit of the U.S. government is a priviledge, not the right of the few self-appointed pompous asses that continually talk down to the American people.
If they truly new anything helpful and of substance we would not be in the mess we are in.
They are only trying to cover their sorry butts.
Let's work hard on getting legislation passed to bring the light of day to the dark crevasses of this ongoing financial trickery.
Bernie Sanders will champion it of course!
I just added this to the post:
My source says:
Let's enjoy this little victory this weekend and then get back to it on Monday!
"the full House of Representatives has passed a bill that mandates a complete audit of the Fed."
Mandates complete audit. He said.
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
which foot do you have left now ??
must be the left cause retail sure as $#!+ ain't right on this one.
all joking aside: what does it look like from that side of the Rubicon ??
But did they water it down?
precisely my question
nope, it was as Ron Paul wrote it.
Hurrah and Huzzah!
But it's just round 1.
"There's something afoot in the wind!"
Will do. I was on the phone with Vitter's office this afternoon telling them that I wanted him to oppose the reconfirmation of Mr. Bernanke on Dec. 17th. His office personnel stated that she didn't know how Sen. Vitter proposed to vote. Anyone who hasn't called their senators and representatives should do so, and repeatedly if possible.
Who in the Senate will champion this bill ??
I suspect it ain't gonna' be Reid, Boxer or Feinstein...!! Banksters definetely don't want this done. It's a guided missle pointed right at THEM !!
