Protesters Target Federal Reserve
Protesters Target Fed, As Well As Wall Street
The protesters are not just targeting Wall Street and the big banks. They’re also railing against the Federal Reserve:
(See this for the background of this image by WilliamBanzai7.)
Indeed, at the “Occupy Boston” protest outside the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, protesters yelled their derision for the Fed:
Criticism of Fed One of Protester’s Core Platforms
Indeed, as David DeGraw points out, criticism of the Fed is one of the main motivations driving Anonymous to help organize the protests:
On Mar 12, 2011, Anonymous A99 announced their first
operation by posting a video to the AmpedStatus YouTube page. The
effort was called “Operation Empire State Rebellion” (#OpESR). The
video “OpESR Communication #1” stated the following:
“We are a decentralized non-violent resistance movement, which
seeks to restore the rule of law and fight back against the organized
criminal class.
One-tenth of one percent of the population has consolidated wealth in
unprecedented fashion and launched an all-out economic war against
99.9% of the population.
We are not affiliated with either wing of the two-party oligarchy. We
seek an end to the corrupted two-party system by ending the campaign
finance and lobbying racket.
Above all, we aim to break up the global
banking cartel centered at the Federal Reserve, International Monetary
Fund, Bank of International Settlement and World Bank.
We demand that the primary dealers within
the Federal Reserve banking system be broken up and held accountable
for rigging markets and destroying the global economy, effective
immediately.
As a first sign of good faith, we demand Ben Bernanke step down as Federal Reserve chairman.
Until our demands are met and a rule of
law is restored, we will engage in a relentless campaign of
non-violent, peaceful, civil disobedience.”
Objectively – and without using any hyperbole – it is true that the Federal Reserve is largely responsible for destroying the economy. Indeed, many current and former high-level Fed officials and other top economic officials have slammed the Fed as well.

You must have really really shitty life. All you do is post on ZH. Everytime I read comment, you here posting bullshit crap that most pass. I admit, don't even know what hell you write but usually something with Jew, goy, it's extent of your world. Poor you.
nice call whistleblower!

J.P. Morgan Makes Huge Donation to NYPD.
Holy shit.
the $4.6 million is a placebo for the police who will be watching, in due time, their pension funds blow up while they are busy batoning protesters protecting the criminals on wall street
i know recently the nypd was boasting about their capabilities etc. has anyone seen blimps or drones over the protest area. i know they are using some kind of high tech surveillance......i just know they are..........
So I wonder what Osama Bin Bernanke thinks about your fine artwork, WB7?
I'm sure he's seen it by now, what with all that social media monitoring they're doing these these days. You know, to determine sentiment. :-) Maybe this coming week he'll get the opportunity to see it first-hand. I have no idea how that man can look at himself in the mirror any more. Talk about high treason. If his actions don't qualify, then I don't know what would. He has helped destroy the nation in a way that no foreign enemy could.
Right On!
What I wanna know is how can ONE whore have so many Vaginas?.

Seems like HSBC is not a "YES" bank.
She be the BoE's slut.
JP does the Fed/Treas's bidding in the gold market, HSBC BoE's
This MIGHT become a
careful what you wish for/plot moment for the rabid regime forces behind this (bowel) movement. If truth turns the table?
Might be the real deal.
Indeed, it just might gain traction, grow.
Become larger, more significant. Possibly even more unruly...
.... well, you get the idea.
Conversely, might, just might there be a bad outside chance that somebody, somewhere stomps real hard, had just about enough of the unruly masses, after all there's treasure yet awaiting looting... and begins to tighten the screws.
A God Forbid Scenario.
Yes, Mencken's don't wish what you want for you might get it good and hard.
Here's Ben's bail out. We got fucked, banks win, interest on deficit chokes USA, print another sixteen trillion, pay out the deficit, taxes go to USA infrastructure, quality of education and lives of American citizens, not the already bailed out bloodsucking mother fucking bankers!!!!!!!!!
The Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a "Reserve". This private bank run by the "Bank of England" has been stripping the US of its assets since the days of Andrew Jackson. If the $16,000,000,000,000.00 given away secretly, since 2007, to the member banks isn't reason enough to overhaul our entire government financial system then our country is doomed to financial failure. You won't read this in the mainstream media....but it may emerge in the coming elections. Read about this first ever audit of the Fed and understand why we are in such trouble. Tuesday, September 27, 2011 First Ever GAO Audit Of The Federal Reserve(You can click on the site and read the report).
The first ever GAO audit of the Federal Reserve was carried out in the past few months due to the Ron Paul, Alan Grayson Amendment to the Dodd-Frank bill, which passed last year. Jim DeMint, a Republican Senator, and Bernie Sanders, an independent Senator, led the charge for a Federal Reserve audit in the Senate, but watered down the original language of the house bill (HR1207), so that a complete audit would not be carried out. Ben Bernanke, Alan Greenspan, and various other bankers vehemently opposed the audit and lied to Congress about the effects an audit would have on markets. Nevertheless, the results of the first audit in the Federal Reserve nearly 100 year history were posted on Senator Sanderâs webpage earlier this morning.
sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/news/?id=9e2a4ea8-6e73-4be2-a753-62060dcbb3c3 (Summarized below)
What was revealed in the audit was startling:
$16,000,000,000,000.00 (TRILLION) had been secretly given out to US banks and corporations and foreign banks everywhere from France to Scotland. From the period between December 2007 and June 2010, the Federal Reserve had secretly bailed out many of the worldâs banks, corporations, and governments. The Federal Reserve likes to refer to these secret bailouts as an all-inclusive loan program, but virtually none of the money has been returned and it was loaned out at 0% interest.
Why the Federal Reserve had never been public about this or even informed the United States Congress about the $16 trillion dollar bailout is obvious the American public would have been outraged to find out that the Federal Reserve bailed out foreign banks while Americans were struggling to find jobs. To place $16 trillion into perspective, remember that GDP of the United States is only $14.12 trillion. The entire national debt of the United States government spanning its 200+ year history is only $14.5 trillion.
The budget that is being debated so heavily in Congress and the Senate is only $3.5 trillion. Take all of the outrage and debate over the $1.5 trillion deficit into consideration, and swallow this Red pill: There was no debate about whether $16,000,000,000,000 would be given to failing banks and failing corporations around the world. In late 2008, the TARP Bailout bill was passed and loans of $800 billion were given to failing banks and companies. That was a blatant lie considering the fact that Goldman Sachs alone received 814 billion dollars. As is turns out, the Federal Reserve donated $2.5 trillion to Citigroup, while Morgan Stanley received $2.04 trillion. The Royal Bank of Scotland and Deutsche Bank, a German bank, split about a trillion and numerous other banks received hefty chunks of the $16 trillion. ****
When you have conservative Republican stalwarts like Jim DeMint(R-SC) and Ron Paul(R-TX) as well as self-identified Democratic socialists like Bernie Sanders all fighting against the Federal Reserve, you know that it is no longer an issue of Right versus Left. When you have every single member of the Republican Party in Congress and progressive Congressmen like Dennis Kucinich sponsoring a bill to audit the Federal Reserve, you realize that the Federal Reserve is an entity onto itself, which has no oversight and no accountability.
Americans should be swelled with anger and outrage at the abysmal state of affairs when an unelected group of bankers can create money out of thin air and give it out to megabanks and super-corporations like Halloween candy.
The list of institutions which received the most money from the Federal Reserve can be found on page 131 of the GAO Audit and are as follows:
Citigroup: $2.5 trillion($2,500,000,000,000)
Morgan Stanley: $2.04 trillion ($2,040,000,000,000)
Merrill Lynch: $1.949 trillion ($1,949,000,000,000)
Bank of America: $1.344 trillion ($1,344,000,000,000)
Barclays PLC (United Kingdom): $868 billion* ($868,000,000,000)
Bear Sterns: $853 billion ($853,000,000,000)
Goldman Sachs: $814 billion ($814,000,000,000)
Royal Bank of Scotland (UK): $541 billion ($541,000,000,000)

Bank of Scotland (United Kingdom): $181 billion ($181,000,000,000)
BNP Paribas (France): $175 billion ($175,000,000,000)
IT WILL BE INTERESTING AS TO HOW MUCH ATTENTION (AS WELL AS THE SLANT) THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA GIVES THIS UNBELIEVABLE POSITION OF OUR GOVERNMENT HAS PLACED US IN WITH NEVER PREVIOUSLY HAVING AN AUDIT OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE.
I AM CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL HEAR SOMETHING LIKE THE FED HAD TO GIVE STIMULUS TO WHOM THE $16 TRILLION WENT TOO BECAUSE IF WE HAD NOT ALLOWED THIS IT WOULD BE THEIR COLLAPSE AND THE OURS.
HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF CLOWARD AND PIVEN ECONOMICS? (PARAPHRASING) IT INVOLVES TWO HARVARD PROFESSORS WHOSE BOOK SAID TO CHANGE ANY GOVERNMENTâS ECONOMIC SYSTEM INTO A SOCIALIST ONE, IT SIMPLY DRIVES THEIR ECONOMY INTO THE DITCH THEN THE CITIZENS ALLOW THE GOVERNMENT TO DO WHAT THEY WISH TO SAVE THEM
Excellent. Thank you for directions to the audit results. I just tweeted the PDF link to #occupywallstreet. Please tweet this link ZH'ers, people need to wake the fuck up.
Pls check this post in TF metals:

They allow posting pictures, and thus post becomes much more informative.
How 'bout keeping us updated on the consolidation of answers you get to your questions.
Well done ivars, green.
Overtime costs involved with these protests will bankrupt the involved cities, not a bad tactic at all...
i am not sure if anyone has really thought about that issue but it is a correct one. the thing is anyone can do this at any time.
This is an interesting point, ans well brought-up Hulk. On top of this, the financial-dependent towns (NYC) are losing financial industry staff due to the layoffs and current escalating troubles hitting the sector. Firms are not as profitable either, therefore local tax revenues are going to take a big hit this year and going forward.
Sure is interesting.
are they going to be protesting all during the week in manhattan?
Im getting a ticket for the 15th. Lets see what all the fuss is about?
.
Unless Ron Paul is elected, this is never even going to start. ELECT RON PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell someone about him, share videos, links, post, etc. DO SOMETHING!
I'll tell you about Ron Paul.
He ended his first campaign for president when his campaign manager died uninsured and penniless from pneumonia. According to his family he had a pre-exising condition which made him uninsurable. His mother got a hospital bill for $400,000 following his death.
http://gawker.com/5840024/ron-pauls-campaign-manager-died-of-pneumonia-p...
I guess Dr. Ron Paul couldn't be bothered to treat his own campaign manager for free or get him admitted to one of those charity hosptials he's so fond of assuring us will take care of those who can't pay.
That's what Ron Paul is all about.
thanks for telling me about Ron Paul.
RON PAUL OR NONE AT ALL!!
I like what Ron Paul believes in with regard to a sound currency and wars, however we currently have a libertarian utopia for the biggest corporations and bankers and we don't need or want anymore of it. The business laws currently in place hinder smaller businesses in this country making it difficult for them while the big boys have all the money to obfuscate, lobby, move offshore and avoid paying their dues. The small businesses in the US cannot possibly compete with the cards stacked against them especially globalism.
We don't have 'libertarian utopia' for the biggest corporations. We have a fascist utopia for the biggest corporations.
In a libertarian utopia, no one business group gets special favors from the government.
Get a fucking clue.
It seems to me that Knuckles has a pretty good handle on it. The way I read the post, the rules don't apply to the big corps, thus they have been liberated from the laws that govern the rest of us.
Your point about Fascism is well taken, however.
i do understand why many see Ron Paul as the best choice out there to fix things... and in relative terms, he is. The problem is that he, like the rest of the politicians, are just role playing. the system is corrupt as are all participants. just a show to keep you locked into the system. they entire thing needs to, Ron Paul is not going to solve anything. Sure he would make changes, but if you are looking far ahead, the changes he will implement will in fact only increase oligarch control. it would also be unwise to overlook his masonic connections. there is a war going on out there, though few can see it. masonic types are firmly in the camp of those seeking to establish a new order, that they believe is in the best interest of man. to them, ends justify the means... and the means they have in mind are nothing short of the collapse of the existing order. too far out? to those who can read the symbolism that is everywhere, the story is hidden in plain view.
the ron paul sycophants are like the alex jones sycophants. they don't like it when you talk like that......
i noticed. but, it is what it is, I can't just go along. this is like obama part 2 with his hope and change bit. of course its repackaged this time, and they have been laying the groundwork for a long time...
So they'll try a tall skinny white guy to see how that plays this next time around, eh?
NFW
"They" won't let him (RP) near the Throne of Power.
PS... Anybody Else in the SpotLight Right Now gets in As In No Other Better Choice, financial markets gonna be in for a real major fucking beating like no beating ever been had before.
Hopey and Changie ain't a workin', neithers gonna be More Of The Same Old Shit Repackaged Again, Part II.
Look, when The Rising Tide Lifts All Boats, there are lotsa big time hall monitor passes given around, lots of insincere mea culpas go a long way.
Not. In. This. Envirionment.
When the folks in NYC, et. al, describe the division, the paradigm, the schism as the 99% versus the 1%, that's getting to be a pretty accurate assessment of the situation.
Even folks I know who are pretty damned well off are getting paranoid and afraid. Not of the teeming masses, but of the general outlook for life, the universe and everything.
The Zeitgeist is Fucking Rotten and TPTB Smoke Filled Back Room Power Brokers and their Financial Enablers would seem wise to step back and perhaps try something a little more responsible.
That olde adage of the so called "Illuminati"; "From Chaos, Order" methinks is gonna slip a few fucking gears right about here.
Like take a lesson from the Fabian Socialists. They've enjoyed an unheralded, immense, virtually infinite triumph in propagating the Socialst Model (both individual and corporate/mercantilist) over the last 50-100 years.
Best bets take a hint from history.
Oh, but sociopathy tends to think history don't apply.
Not a good financial market proscription.
Jim O'Neil's everythings gonna work out just fine, ain't.
you should go to a ron paul meeting sometime and just take a look around and see what you see. they all think they are smarter than you because they are hip and they are for ron paul, doncha know.....silly boys and girls..........the pearl of great price must be redeemed and the only thing that can redeem it is to water the tree of liberty with the blood of tyrants and patriots............
pokerface says what i think on this issue......
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4D2Us5H7jI&feature=related
for me, it is liberty or death.......nothing in between
now perhaps i can explain such feelings to children dressed in black , walking on brooklyn bridge.........
HPD,
Not sure how I feel about Ron Paul. Best choice? Perhaps, of the current crop of Demons. But I do have a question. And this is more of a general question to the ZH community. Why on earth is everything/everyone that speak out against the system, ALWAYS considered co-opted by NWO interests?! Isn't it possible that there is someone out there that really does care?
I would think the community here proves that its possible.
Unless you are all.......nah. Couldn't all be FBI/CIA/MI5/Mossad/NWO agents......could you?
;-P
well number 1. the system is broken now and cannot be fixed so that means voting is out of the question. besides it never works anyway. its like george carlin said. we think we have a choice. we don't. on issue number 2, anyone that truely cares is never heard from , more or less (since the media is controlled and has been for a long time) and if they get close, then they have a accident. i can provide many examples of this. on point number 3. people keep saying that. let me explain. i like to sleep at night. does that answer any questions about agent provocateuring? :)
Actually. I must confess. I disagree with you on the Carlin thing.
If Bill Hicks didn't die early, most people would realize he was nothing more than a ripoff artist.
;-P
All your points are spot on. Again, this wasn't directed at you per se. Always enjoy reading your posts.
And I too enjoy sleeping. :)
john kennedy's wife , jackie is said to have remarked one time, that john slept with his eyes wide open? interesting , no? i wonder how many presidents sleep like that , and why this happens? mind control?
Or maybe he knew what was in store?
My guess: Not many of them. I'm sure its easy for them to sleep at night, knowing that they are well taken care of. Now should they actually have a conscience..........
It was caused by pain killer abuse.
the ronpaulREVOLUTION!
LIBERTY WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
The ONE who will SAVE the DOLLAR!
End The Fed!
THE "OBVIOUS" CHOICE!
You are full of shit. And so is your full of shit post.
Some more detail for you from a revised post I wrote.
So, what is exactly full of shit?
The facts are:
The man is dead. He died uninsurable and in debt. No charity health care from his own candidate who is a M.D. or an assist in getting him into one of those "charity hospitals."
Yeah, this is full of shit all right, but not in the way you think.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'll tell you about Ron Paul.
He ended his first campaign for president when his campaign manager died uninsured and penniless from pneumonia. According to his family he had a pre-exising condition which made him eiffectively uninsurable due to the exhorbitant premiums. His mother got a hospital bill for $400,000 following his death.
http://gawker.com/5840024/ron-pauls-campaign-manager-died-of-pneumonia-p...
and
http://www.redpills.org/?p=1230
>>>The 49-year-old graduate of Shawnee Mission North High School died June 26 in Falls Church, Va., after a battle with pneumonia. His friends are trying to raise money by July 17 to cover his medical expenses.
He was uninsured, his sister Michelle Caskey said, because a pre-existing condition made the premiums too expensive.
“I don’t think he would ever have realized he’d be in the hospital this long,” she said. “It’s very nice (that people are trying to help).”<<<
Apparently he was in intensive care for weeks to rack-up a $400,000 bill.
So, when the money man got sick and died, so did the campaign
I guess Dr. Ron Paul couldn't be bothered to treat his own campaign manager for free or get him admitted to one of those charity hosptials he's so fond of assuring us will take care of people who can't pay.
That's what Ron Paul is all about.
Ironic, ain't it?
The real injustice in this story is the fact that hospitals grossly overcharge and rip off the uninsured. If he had been insured or on Medicare then the insurance company or government would not have paid even 1/2 of the $400K for the same services.
wasn't kent snyder a homosexual? it is strange for a 49 year old man to die of pneumonia. hmm, must be something else at work here such aids and co-factors diseases resulting from the lifestyle he lived in............paul's campaign staff is full of jews and homosexuals...........i tell you this is not good for liberty and freedom, make no mistake about it..........and it shows what kind of man ron paul truely is. this is not what amerika needs....
