Rand Paul Reintroduces Audit The Fed Bill, DeMint And Vitter Co-Sponsors
If there is one thing that the one-time GAO audit of the Fed disclosed, is how woefully insufficient the extremely superficial data discovery was. Another thing uncovered was just how needed this disclosure was: it provided extended material into how the Fed subsidizes banks (both domestic and international) on an ongoing basis, not to mention substantial number crunching for the blogosphere. Either way, if Bernanke was hoping that the Frank-Dodd bill would take care of the Fed opacity, pardon, transparency issue in perpetuity, he may be disappointed: Ron's son, Rand, has just announced he is introducing legislation to, well, Audit The Fed, precisely along the lines of what his father did previously and generated massive support from everyone in Congress. Once again Ben Bernanke is about to become a major thorn on the side of the political puppetry.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rand Paul introduced legislation allowing for a full audit of the Federal Reserve. This legislation is a Senate version of similar legislation long-championed by and introduced this session in the House of Representatives by his father, Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Co-sponsoring the “Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2011” (S. 202), are Senators Jim DeMint of South Carolina and David Vitter of Louisiana.
“We must take a critical look at the Fed’s monetary policy decisions, discount window operations, and a host of other things, with a real audit – and not just pay lip-service to the idea of an audit,” Sen. Paul said today. “At a time when we're seeing great volatility in small Euro-zone economies like Greece, Portugal, and Ireland, it is more crucial than ever that we have real transparency at our own central bank.“
The bill will eliminate the current audit restrictions placed on the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and mandate a complete audit of the Federal Reserve to be completed by a firm deadline, finally delivering answers to the American people about how their money is being spent by Washington.

Lets count the tungsten!
There you go! How about an "Audit Fort Knox" bill, instead?
At any rate, if anyone is wondering how things are working out in the bottom-calling business, feel free to click here:

Bottom calling ... ? Minyanville ~
A call came in this morning from Shawn Hackett, founder and CEO of Hackett Financial Advisors, a Boynton Beach, Florida money management firm with a specific focus on agricultural commodities.
“Why is Cargill selling Mosaic (MOS)?" Hackett asked. “They know more about ag than anyone else in the world -- why would they be cashing out of the fertilizer business when everyone else is falling all over themselves to get in, with people talking about food shortages and riots going on?”
Cargill, which is the largest privately held company in the United States and competes directly alongside agribusiness behemoth Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), is unloading its $20 billion-plus stake in Mosaic -- the world's leading producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash -- to reportedly free up money for the family-owned business’ charitable trusts without raising cash through an IPO and going public.
But why would Cargill, which according to its website, has “75 businesses organized around five major segments: Agriculture Services, Food Ingredients and Applications, Origination and Processing, Risk Management and Financial, and Industrial,” choose Mosaic as the one asset to shed?
Others agree.
“Cargill is smart money,” Malcolm Polley, president of Stewart Capital Advisors LLC, told Bloomberg news. “If they are getting out of Mosaic, maybe it’s a good time to hedge your bets probably in the whole sector.”
Further, Mosaic CEO James Prokopanko and CFO Lawrence Stranghoener may sell what they described in a Tuesday regulatory filing as a “modest” number of MOS shares. What makes this noteworthy? Neither Prokopanko or Stranghoener have sold any of their Mosaic shares since the company was formed in 2004.
Delving deeper, Hackett points out that Goldman Sachs (GS) has pared down their risk exposure to commodities to levels not seen since 2004.
Matt McCormick, a banking analyst at Bahl & Gaynor, gave Reuters a similar perspective.
"I think Goldman is consciously making smaller bets on commodities," he said. "Any time you go back to a low of 2004, you are clearly making a substantial call."
Equally substantial is the fact that Morgan Stanley (MS) and JPMorgan (JPM) have made similar moves that bear a closer look.
Morgan Stanley’s commodities “Value at Risk” in Q4 2010 was down roughly 20% for the quarter and JPMorgan’s VaR was flat -- but, as Reuters reports, “down more than two-thirds from its 2008 peak.”
“These numbers came despite a 28.7% jump in commodity prices over the two last quarters combined, as measured by the Reuters-Jefferies CRB index,” the news service reported. “The last time the CRB rose as much for two consecutive quarters was when it climbed 29% in 2008 and 34.5% 1973.”
While these questions are nothing more than questions at the moment, the prudent investor may well be served by filing them away for further thought.
“It doesn’t mean that it’s all over for commodities tomorrow,” Hackett says. “However, we may find out three or six months from now that we really should have been listening to this.”
Gov't is coming to control food is what it means and their prices - Speculators in commodities will be made the enemy of the people by the MSM and blamed for high prices . Commodity exchange lockdown bitchez! or maybe there will be some major "population " declining event in the near future ?
http://www.nh.gov/nhsl/ww2/ww10prt.html
The FED will sell securities back into the market... bearish for Coms
11100 is a good bottom
government controll will lead to rationing of a very limited selection of agricultural end products. Lots of empty shelves in your local grocery store. I would consider mass starvation a major population declining event.
+$2Quadrillion
Most or all right on all points.
Seriously dude.... Do you ever have an original thought? Ever? I mean sometimes a paste job is helpful, relevant (yours usually are at least), or interesting,,, but Shit!! Start your own blog for Christssakes if you want to put up Dickensesque volumes on every single thread. OR actually write some shit yourself.
Just sayin.
Why do you read ZH? If you don't think that the insiders passing up on a juicy run-up in any market is a good indication of what they have in store for our bankster Matrix and an excellent piece of survival intel, then what the hell are you readiing ZH for? Comic relief??
There is a 300 year supply of fertilizer at current consumption rates.
Why would the chart of Potash look like this:

Why does the chart of oil look like this (mere months before the world economy collapses):
http://finviz.com/futures_charts.ashx?t=CL&p=w1
While food inflation is real, it is not because Bernanke is dumping digital money into reserve accounts. The absurdity of those charts begin in 2006/07/08, BEFORE anyone had ever heard of quantitative easing, and BEFORE an extra trillion lie dormant in reserve accounts.
Here's your answer as to why food commodity prices are/were skyrocketing, why it might be coming to an end and why Cargill is trimming exposure:
http://www.businessweek.com/news/2011-01-23/agriculture-ministers-seek-e...
Don't look at Bernanke. Look at the sharks at GSCI. Welcome to Wallagio, the Wall Street casino that fucks up the whole world.
It's interesting that you should post those charts. I have been pondering over them for the last several months trying to understand the "dynamics" of them. Food production is extremely energy dependent, hence a rise in oil triggers a rise in food.
Perhaps if there was a "serious" global depression, this would trigger a significant reduction in global oil demand, the price per barrel oil would fall, the rest of the commodities would follow?
So, I'm curious, doesn't the oil chart look like a massive, multi year head and shoulders pattern? Given the nature of oil as a completely irreplaceable energy source and, if not peak oil at least peak cheap oil, the future population growth mentioned above would seem to make oil the ultimate BTFD asset.
I'm trying to envision a world situation that takes oil down to say $40/bbl again and the only thing that keeps popping up is armageddon.
Yes, your an evil speculator if you fail to follow the asset allocation directives of the fascist overlords.
"There is a 300 year supply of fertilizer at current consumption rates. "
Do you have the source for this bit of info? Thanks.
++ Thanks enjoyed the read and following up on this.
I thought we were at peak phosphate. That's weird.
Junk. Stay on topic...or better yet, quit posting this garbage.
Bay of swine -
If you could put your perma- bull pom~poms down for a second could you point out the worthless info in said piece ???? A powerhouse getting out of the ag trade in 2011 .... Hmmmmmmm.
O.k. you can go back now and start pumping the bubble ...
Is he starting his car by remote control these days?
Don't count your conspiracy theories before they're hatched.
They can't do this.
The Federal Reserve is a "private bank," with private shareholders, whose business model is essentially loaning money to governments, so that the taxpayers can pay interest on more and more accumulated debt.
Who does this Rand Paul person think he is? What is this 'Congress' thing all about?
Nothing a major flash crash can't solve.
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (Bernanke and the rest of the gang) is a Federal Government agency. They can indeed audit it.
The local Feds are a mix of private and government entities, but they dont decide monetary policy, just implement the decisions the FOMC takes.
So yes, they can audit the Fed.
I was being sarcastic.
p.s. - The Federal Reserve has claimed contrary things as to whether they are a 'public' or 'private' entity in the past, depending on whether it suited their needs.
For example, when Bloomberg Financial News sued The Federal Reserve, under the Freedom of Information Act, to compel them to release data on how much money they expended, to whom, and for what assets (and on what dates), The Fed initially fought the suit claiming they were exempt from the statutory requirements of FOIA as they were a 'private, non-governmental' entity.
The biggest difference in the Federal Reserve and Federal Express is the president doesn't get to introduce the new chairman of Federal Express. Up until this century, the president appointed the fed chairman but now the president simply introduces wall street's choice. As mentioned immediately above, whether the fed admits as much depends on their immediate spin needs.
More importantly, the fed has a charter from the Federal Government and that charter can be revoked at the will of Congress. More than likely, a lot of congressmen need to have this fact pointed out to them. I would wager that half of congress thinks the fed is a government agency.
Vaarrroooooommm!
Arthur Jensen will soon be calling Rand Paul into his Val Halla office for a lecture about the primal forces of nature
Wall Street, DC and the FED are married.
Pretty messy divorce coming up.....
one hopes...
Audit away, Bernanke is the only man standing between us and tanks in the streets, zombies roaming the night, Obama starving to death. Smell the glove and submit.
Starve an obummer supporter. Hide his food stamps under his work boots.
Ron Paul intro'd the house version today also, HR459.
"Permit me to issue and control the money of the nation and I care not who makes its laws."
-- Mayer Amschel Rothschild
Just sayin'.
Bitches.
I see that quote all the time but never evidence of attribution. It may be the doomers version of the protocols of zion. I would love to see the original source attribution. Anybody got it?
Google the whole phrase and it comes up in many places. But it was apparently stated in like 1812, and Al Gore hadn't gotten the Internet up and running back then. Go figure.
- Ned
Al Gore? Same guy who started global warming?
started? no. Profit? Voila!
The "Permit me..." quotation is attributable to AM Rothschild, the 18th century patriarchal street rat who perfected the art of tying government taxes to wars and the like, leaving the ordinary citizens with the burden of repayment with huge and crushing interest, leaving them(R) with massive profits. AMR spawned five sons who set up shop in the capitals of Europe, continuing the proud family tradition of bloodshed.
Nathan was based in London, took control of the BoE, and was the contact for the young nation of America. In 1811 the 20year central bank charter expired and Congress actually followed laws and the Constitution and refused to renew.
At this affrond, street rat Nathan said, "Teach those impudent Americans a lesson. Bring them back to colonial status." Thus began the War of 1812. He had more control of the Brits than the King himself. After tens of thousands of British, American, and possibly Hessian deaths, Congress relented and granted the Rothschilds their filthy charter.
Twenty years later it was Andrew Jackson's turn, who fought them tooth and nail, and eventually Woodrow-the-pushover-Wilson.
We are currently stuck with these parasites in the form of the Federal Tapeworm Reserve.
I'm quite certain that the quote can be found in "The Rise Of The House Of Rothschild" By Count Egon Caesar Corti. It's been about 18 years since I read it but I am sure that it can be found in that book as I remember being familiar with that quote before I even owned a computer and that book is where I would have read it.
[Mayer Amschel Bauer] (1744 -1812), Godfather of the Rothschild Banking Cartel of Europe Source: in 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' (American Opinion Publishing), p. 218

you're welcome.
The devil first had to convince the world he did not exist.
The quote's authenticity is not important, its message is!
x2
Don't worry, they'll settle at get wrist slapped.
Someone display some believable truth as to how the cover-up can be so easily disclosed. Not a chance...not this way. TPTB know clealry what's at stake (as so often mentioned by TD and friends), this is not the Black Swan style event needed to win back our good ole' US of A.
There's nothing to audit. No records are kept. One man, named Sackfreeze runs the printing press and drives the truck on deliveries.
Not holding my breath on this accomplishing anything.
//grabbing a beer, sitting on the deck chair and watching the city burn in the distance.
Wake me up if it actually gets to the floor for a vote before it gets its nuts cut off.
And this also - "Rand Paul proposes $500 billion in federal budget cuts" - http://www.fox41.com/story/13911626/rand-paul-proposes-500-billion-in-federal-budget-cuts
This man is on a Crusade and is going to be fun to watch until ....
500 billion is chump change.
It's a start.
it's time for the CIA to call up one of their mind controlled retards and bust a cap in his ass.
not really
Cut food stamps and you will have instant riots....think Tunisia, Cairo!
This in no way makes up for the unbelievable amounts of stupid contained within this man.
I am embarassed to be represented by him.
So, you're saying you'd prefer a representative who makes no protest at your anal raping, rather than at least some protest?
He'd rather be wooed by an intelligent man. I am not embarrassed- let me carry the load for you ceedub.
I'm not. McConnell yes, but Rand is off to a nice start. I say we give him his lead.
Hurrr, I hate wepubwicans.
Junked for being an embarrassment.
Because he opposes YourPTB? An othewise brilliant argument..
You're just mad because you lost the eight oclock time slot on MSNBC.
I don't like to make ad hominems, but in your case: You're a fucking idiot.
Make mine junk number 42.
At least the Pauls are trying to make America a more transparent and free country.
.gov! Leave me alone!
This would be so huge if they could get it through this time. Not counting on it but I would love to see the look on Obama's face when it gets to his desk.
Obama will ask Immelt what to do:
"Jeff...what should I do now? HM...MMM."
I'm sorry, are those hummer noises? Who's the dumpster?
I think this has a chance of gaining serious traction. If we can ever rip that curtain off these bastages, all hell is gonna break loose.
We will see Mortimer holding one FRN. The most highly levered note of all time.
Shoot, at traditional Beltway speed that Fed audit would take 2-3 years. By that time the Barry and Ben show will have closed up and moved on.
What's not to like?
By then, The Bernank will have fled to Tunisia, with 57 pieces of luggage holding 1.5 tons of gold (or tungsten).
Maybe they should revoke The Ben Bernank's passport.
Dont get your hopes up. Better to resign yourself now to the warm embrace of cynicism and.despair.
Waste of time, now that the CIA can use the Fed as a WMD.
It's a national security issue.
what's the over/under on these guys getting shot by a lone, disturbed gunman?
Heck, nowadays, what's the over/under on any of us being shot by a lone gunman?
Shooting is so 20th century. A focused electrical beam could put your heart into asystole or v fib at a distance. Even i could invent one with a good engineer. So I am sure the.government already has the heart attack raygun
Brainwashed by the baggers of course....oh.....wait.
Heck...we'll probably find out the fed's
Caribbean sub own 75% of the junkers
in the Russell 2000.
I think calls for Rand being off'd by TPTB are a bit premature. They have to at least smear him for his courage to stand up against the Civil Rights (snicker) Act first.
There was no shortage of hatred for Rand when that tidbit was exposed...especially on the lib side.
interesting thing is that the progressives have as much disdain for the fed as the tea party (strange bedfellows)
Interesting. The overwhelming majority of my friends identify themselves as progressives. I'm not sure they know the Fed exists, let alone hold it in contempt.
I'm thinking HuffPo crowd and writers like Matt Taibbi
Interpretations please:

physical gold, bitchez?
The paper gold & silver markets (primarily GLD & SLV) are decoupling and will implode when the sheeple realize its all a fractional reserve ponzi scheme. Physical will explode at the same time, the house of cards comes tumbling down and all hell breaks loose. Or maybe not.
As to Cargill selling off Mosaic....the reason is this: the price of wheat without the ethanol fraud goes to $4.15 and corn to $3.65. The demand for fertilizer will drop by half. The effect of the ethanol scam is now being played out in one of our very best long term customers homeland....Egypt. The ethanol program is economically a joke, morally horrific and ethically unsustainable.
Sometimes our legislators are listening.
there was an interview today on Bloomterd TV with Jim Grant - it was among the best interviews I have seen of late but for whatever reason has not yet been put on their site as a video clip - Fortunately I have a audio recording of it, which I will upload if it does not appear on Bloomterd/clipsyndicate.
He totally ripped the fed
Thanks!!
Nearly no chance this passes and if it does do you really believe we will see what is truly on their balnce sheet.

The most important immediate advantage is to see which senators will be on board, with their comments—how it’s handled in committee, and its use in political campaigns against opponents in the next election cycle, especially against Democrats as there are more up for election.
Probably it’s never going to get out of committee as the Democrats control the committee and don’t want to vote on it; but you can force the committee members to take a stand and it can be used against the Dems in the general election if they keep it from coming to the floor.
We’ll see. But one thing it proves, representatives of the people are heading to DC and it’s not just going to be, as Clinton called all adverse political scandals, another nine day wonder to be abandoned.by the politicos.
FED has bought every joker, nothing much is expected from the Circus

Wonder if when the audit is complete they'll hold a big news conference and give us all the juicy details? if so, I hope they don't schedule while Jersey Shore is on. ;)
I went out to dinner tonight, sweaty, and shared your quip with the guys, and we all had a good laugh. And, by the way, it kinda makes you wonder just what planet the junkers live on, doesn't it?
Glad i added some laughter to your dinner. These days, we have to laugh to keep from crying!
WikkiLeaks got leaked all the files of the Fed. An A4 page with Bernanke's name at the top with some doodles, and his practice signature a dozen times.
He probably reads Zerohege... I am pretty confident the FED reads this site (no I cannot prove it).
You really think Ben runs the world from the mountain top?
They really don't think about these issues too deeply... overall the economy is doing better.
Ben already is on record predicting the next "event"... sure he could mop up liquidity, but really?

We should be able to audit the Fed anytime we want since the Fed now has authority to monitor every single transaction of every single American through the new "Consumer Protection Agency"
.
Sort of like bringing a Bick lighter to an Iceberg fight
I am contemplative tonight, and I got around to thinking about why it isn't very straightfoward to explain to Americans how illogical an entity The Federal Reserve System really is, and why so many more politicians have not exploited this fact for what could be incredibly successful leverage while campaigning or when in office.
It's isn't very complicated to explain the incredible corruption of The Federal Reserve to even the average American. The explanation would go something along these lines:
Why do we have a private bank that is free to increase or decrease the American Money Supply whenever it so chooses, with none of the members of this private bank being elected, and why is it that this private bank is able to loan money to our government, which is supposed to be able to issue its own currency, and then charge American Citizens interest on the loans? Why is there even a need for an intermediary, let alone a private bank intermediary, to do this?
Homer Simpson would say "Do they have free donuts?".
I agree with you, but the sad truth is that a majority of aMeriKans don't have the ability to see beyond the glass onion that tells them to "Consume" or "Breed".
Or pick Benjamin outta lineup
I have no scientific evidence either way but I have spent the past several years trying to enlighten any and everyone who will listen and I've been pleasantly surprised seeing the light bulb of understanding come on (followed by the question, "what can we do about it?").
I've been involved in a couple of Audit the Fed petition drives; people are eager to sign and converse about the Fed.
The toughest nuts to crack: those with formal economics skooling followed by those who truly believe the government is good, honest and benevolent.
I think you need to link it back to the average person's day-to-day:
Why should a PRIVATE bank that reports to the GLOBAL banking system that OWNS your public servants print/treat the money you slave for like it has no value, just to enrich the GLOBAL banking douche-bags who hate you. Then cite Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson & Dwight Eisenhower. It is NOT COMPLICATED.
WTF?
one hopes...
Pink Elephant in the room... (I am a troll for saying it, sure?)
The people, not us... the majority of citizens dont care... thusly it will never happen... and nothing will come of it...
you may now junk me to infinity and beyond becuase the broader populace is fucking stupid and I am telling the truth!
The ignorant public is the problem. Not the corrupt individuals who exploit it.
When one is in power. One will do whatever is necessary to stay in power. Until the time that power is taken from them. When is that date?
the victors right history... i said it that way for a reason...
The bankers have been writing history for a long, long time. The people have been wronged. I personally would like to get my "pen" out and start a new book; written the right way.
I will type for you, all you have to do is speak slowly becuase I am a shitty speeler.
Good one....I'll leave it at that.
I am serious... I am with anyone who wants to change anything or everything.. I am not joking.
Somehow - I just have a hard time believing that Congress is going to get all tough on the Fed. Think about it - these guys haven't prosecuted any of the Wall St. criminals - for anything. And now you think that they are going to take on the "holiest of the holy" doing god's work?
CLARITY:
The "rape of the middle class" needs to be presented in terms the average person lives every day:
Why should a PRIVATE bank that reports only to the GLOBAL banking system that OWNS your public servants print/treat the money you slave for like it has no value, just to enrich the GLOBAL banking douche-bags who hate you. Then cite Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson & Dwight Eisenhower. It is NOT COMPLICATED.
Then cite Andrew Jackson, Thomas Jefferson & Dwight Eisenhower.
Don't forget George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield & John F. Kennedy, all adamantly opposed to a central bank, especially a private one, and with 3 out of the 4 being assassinated (in addition to Andrew Jackson's attempted assassination).
*There is historical debate about JFK's position, but none regarding the others cited above.
Yes. A thoughtful comment. And the Kennedy connection is not common knowledge outside of ZH. Godless people will kill for money; they always have. It may not matter in the BIG picture but it is irritating nonetheless. I wonder how the "killers" deal with TWO Rand's? Can they be bought for some price? Can you kill two? Interesting dynamic.
The willingness to kill has always been generally interesting to me. Once you are willing to kill people your earthly opotunities expand a lot. But obviously it is the worst trade a person could make based on my beliefs.
FYI: The best way to be attacked on ZH is to admit to being a Christian. Also, "Interesting." A total mystery how this Country lost its way...
OK, Let's see re junks on Christians. I will check this thread tomorrow as soon as I can.
The Bearing is a Christian! Although, arguably a bad one, because he does not go to Church on Sundays. Ah, well, the Bearing is FAR from even near-perfect...
Ron & Rand Paul... I hope that that these two can be part of the transformation of America to a freer and stronger country, based on our original values of freedom, small government and LEAVE ME ALONE so I can make my family more secure.
Even in its degraded condition, the USA is still the best hope for leading the world to some resemblance of liberty...
But, as we cannot predict the future, PLEASE look out for yourselves and your families first in these scary times.
Best of luck and choose wisely!

the country filled with idiot Jesus Freaks like you, was busy painten up some anti-abortion signs talkin bout hell fire and such.. voting like the preacher told ya... instead of using the brain God gave ya.
Next, part of the answer to your super fucking idiotic question is... this country has turned the cheek to many fucking times.. thusly we get shit on every where by everyone... fuck you hippy Jesus freak, your dumbass is the fucking problem.
Eat a dick Jesus freak, hell fire that!
and the mormons... Jesus stopped off in Vegas (or where ever) and said bitchez for every body! BULLSHIT!!
the dumbass people of wallmart, politicaly correct, wanna be fucking hellfire crowd jas destroyed this country.
Stupid people should not breed!
acts will make you right with God.. not words, not anti-abortion signs... ACTS!!

I hope you find peace with God. I am by definition a sinner and failed Christian. The world made sense to me once I understood that. I will say a prayer for you, and you can't stop me!
I pray at least once a day for everyone in the world, except myself...
so Thanks...
