Happy 100th Birthday To The Fed - Live Feed
The Federal Reserve System was created on December 23, 1913, when President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law. Today, the Fed has decided to commemorate the event today with all three living Fed chairman delivering remarks. We are sure it will be very exciting but in the interests of 'balance' we offer a few alternative views of the "success" of the venerable monopoly including its cost: since 1913, the dollar has lost nearly 90% of its purchasing power.
The day it all changed...

An Alternative view of the 100 Years of Boom and Bust
"If we evaluate an organization's performance by what it promised when it was created, the Federal Reserve has clearly failed the American people... the revolution of 1913 shifted power from individuals, communities and states to the federal government and its powerful allies in the private sector."
The Fed's 100-Year War Against Gold (and economic common sense)
Instead of providing protection, the Fed has robbed the public through the hidden tax of inflation brought about by currency devaluation.
The American people like to think that we have a "democratic system", but there is nothing "democratic" about the Federal Reserve. Unelected, unaccountable central planners from a private central bank run our financial system and manage our economy. There is a reason why financial markets respond with a yawn when Barack Obama says something about the economy, but they swing wildly whenever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke opens his mouth.
The Federal Reserve has far more power over the U.S. economy than anyone else does by a huge margin.
Art Cashin On 100 Years of Fed Trial and error and error and error...
the Fed was supposed to extend credit only for “productive” and not for “speculative” purposes." Ironically, less than a year later, the Fed noticed that some loans were being diverted to "securities purchases"
A century with and a century without The Fed...
And last but not least...
The Fed's Dismal Track Record:
According to the popular lie, the Federal Reserve was supposed to have been established to smooth out the economic cycle, thus preventing booms, busts, recessions, and depressions.
It hasn’t really worked out that way.
In the 100 years prior to the establishment of the Federal Reserve, there were 18 distinct recessions or depressions:
1815, 1822, 1825, 1828, 1833, 1836, 1839, 1845, 1847, 1853, 1860, 1865, 1869, 1873, 1887, 1890, 1899, and 1902.
Since the establishment of the Federal Reserve, there have been 18 recessions or depressions:
1918, 1920, 1923, 1926, 1929, 1937, 1945, 1949, 1953, 1958, 1960, 1969, 1973, 1980, 1981, 1990, 2001, 2008.
So in other words, the economy experienced just as many recessions with the ‘expert’ management of the Federal Reserve as without it.
And this doesn’t even begin to capture all the absurd panics (the S&L scare), bailouts (Long-Term Capital Management), and ridiculous asset bubbles that they’ve created.
Hardly an impressive enough track record to justify conjuring trillions of dollars out of thin air, and awarding nearly totalitarian control of the money supply and economy to a tiny banking elite… wouldn’t you say?

End the FED, end the FED, end the FED!!!
Indeed. End the monetary alchemy experiment, & end the privately issued, monopoly paper fiat racketeering system (that distorts all prices, obscures clarity & always and forever induces a bubble/boom-bust cycle).
No taxation without representation!!!!
What this country needs is a good $0.50 cigarette.
Proud to be an ENEMY OF THE STATE.
End Harvest.
the System
to enslave a free peoples to debt, confiscate all their gold and capture all assets
through boom and bust cycles the system creates with debt created out of thin air.
happy birthday you traitorous creature, and to the rothschilds for which it serves.
Whoever controls the guillotines.....
excellent photo... 1000 words...
Happy Birthday FED! Hope you die of colon cancer soon!
Colon cancer is too good for these scumbags. However, a flesh-eating bacteria that prefers the taste of colon- now you're talking!
Look at the look on the face of the short basterd in the middle. 1000 words indeed. It looks like he's thinking "I can't believe we got them to buy this shit"...
Look at the facial expression of the alleged "leader of the free world" as he signs the Federal Reserve Act. You can literally see him thinking a"I really hope future generations learn that the banking cartel would assassinate me if I didn't sell the American People out by going through the formality of enabling this law."
Why do I have to pay to live on the planet I was born?
You don't.
Most people don't understand how inflation is a tax. For the last 100 years the Fed has taxed the public with no representation.
"The cruelist tax of all".
No taxation without explicit consent.
The slogan should have read.. "No taxation without decapitation" and maybe we wouldnt be here..
Still no fucking idea.
My Cheerios are not only 90% more expensive, they're 1/4 of the fucking size.
Let's call them GMcheeriOs!
This money printing operation, going by the name of the Federal Reserve , has for all intents and purposes, lost the fucking plot.
It no longer serves any purpose other than enriching it's money masters, while impoverishing the vast majority of Americans and taking the country's future financial and economic well being , down the toilet.
. "It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning." – Henry Ford
If people were TRULY serious about "End the Fed", and not just regurgitating familiar mantras, they'd...
Stick to Barter + Cash + Gold + Bitcoin. In any combination (playing to the strength of each). And they'd avoid Debt/Credit at all costs, to impair FRB.
For it they did these things, they'd help build the Parallel Economy, that reduces the VoM of the CB's FRB Economy. And until they do, they will remain Serfs/Sheeple.
This intro music is creepy. I think they are going to announce something diabolical.
Fuck the Fed and Nixon!
Congratulations on 100 years of criminal money printing...f#$K you one and all!
100 years without the Fed and America had the most prosperous, free, middle class in the history of human civilization!
100 years later, AFTER the Fed, we have a corrupt, criminal obligarchy, with a destroyed, debt ridden middle class, and 50% of the rest on welfare and entitlements, ANY QUESTIONS????
Fuck you, Fedholes
You printaholic, theiving dicks ...
Nothing will change, er, nothing will get better until we have a 'Reset'. The corrupt system and the drones administering the system, are beyond reform. Only a collapse and a new beginning can save us now.
Thanks for a 100 years of Debt & Death
<--- End the FED and the IRS
<--- Renew the charter for 100 MOAR years!
The name should be changed from the Federal Reserve to The Bankster Cabal INC.
As Federal as Federal Express.
I guess Corporations really aren't people, otherwise the FED would be dying any minute........
the 3 stooges
That's an insult to the Three Stooges.
you're right, my apologies to the 3 stooges.
Only centenary celebration plausible is one where they disband, followed quickly by blowing up the building.
I'll probably get downarrowed for not suggesting summary execution of the parasites...
Shaving and heading for the El Al ticket counter.
I believe the picture you have is of President Roosevelt, not Woodrow Wilson.
Yup, that FDR not WW. It looks like FDR signing yet another bill or executive order unconstitutionally expanding the role of the federal government.
True but who cares? A bankster puppet is a bankster puppet.
It looks like FDR signing yet another bill or executive order unconstitutionally expanding the role of the federal government.
Probably the GOLD GRAB of April 1933.
Fuck you, Frank!
"Happy" bday? Nothing happy about it, those fucking leeches.
I only hope there is a special place in hell...........
celebrating 100 years of theft, rape and tyranny.
Hope aint working so lets do with the here and now.
Now lets get out the ropes.
That's it, thow it in the sheeple's face the banksters have had 100 years of money devaluing.
Change a currency that was backed by something that is now backed by nothing.
What a sad time for the citizens of the US.
Gloating by a room full of egotistic PhD banksters.
Quick, someone jump in the bathroom and see what they are using for Toilet Paper...
All I saw were a bunch of kikes and kike appeasers!
Allow me to ask the awkward question (few if any want to face up to): And who empowered these Bankers (in the 1700s and 1800s) in the first place? It's not like they owned the "MSM" of the day, ran corporations or politics! So, I'll repeat...
Q: " Just who were the treasonous MFers who gave them all the financial power?"
[long awkward silence, cause everyone knows the answer, but dares not say it]
A: The Ruling Class of Europe and America: Aristocracy + Clergy. That's who. All of them "Progressive, God-fearing Christians".
/ How's that worked out for us? Now "shoot the messenger", if the truth hurts too much. /s
A 100 years of megalomaniacal devaluation...may you all rot in the deepest chasms of hell!
Such a nice present for the FED - Bitcoin is melting down today
Central Banks Launching Worldwide Coordinated Attack On Bitcoin
Central Banks are getting all together now to celebrate Federal Reserve 100 Year Anniversary. If somebody thought that Bitcoin with other "listed" 42 Crypto-Currencies can challenge the banksters for real, please think twice and take at least the profit! We need more smart people with capital to join the real values when Gold and Silver will be shining again after Special Op "Gold 2.0" to distract 99% from Gold will be over. FED is still silent, but crackdown on Bitcoin is already in place. NowCentral Banks of Australia and New Zealand have issued Bitcoin warning.All these actions are coordinated, as you can see now. Pump it Up and Crash it hard - how many will be left to support the brilliant idea? We will note one more time very important coincidence: according to the reports JPMorgan is Net Long Gold now. Crashing Bitcoin will send Gold much higher, maybe JPMorgan knows something the others don't?

Unlike most, I'll be truly happy when both PMs + BTC are selling high -- much higher -- against the CNY and USD.
Fat chance of that though, now the GS is "doing God's work" out of its Beijing and Shanghai offices. If the PBOC was truly serious about going after the USD -- rather than just positioning themselves fro a better SDR deal -- they'd have approved of both BTC+Gold.
As it is... libertarians/Libertarians are still screwed for "fighting the CBs". G. Carlin was wrong. It's not a "Big Club...", but a "Small Club, and we're not in it".
Hedge accordingly.
Dear FED....go fuck yourselves!
Lies!
Happy Birthday. Now rot in hell.
Just stopped in to chime in on the FUK The fed and the Fraud you rode in on you Mfkers.
90 years of uselessness, and 10 years of streaming porn. Just like America is meant to be.
What they are *failing to mention* is that prior to his death, Wilson admitted to being fooled by the bankers and destroying the world.
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
"Well fellas I think they bought it". Ben Shalom Berskanke at the 100th year jewbilation.
" since 1913, the dollar has lost nearly 90% of its purchasing power."
Nearly? Check your math. The dollar has lost far more than 90% by any measure: CPI, gold, etc.
So the Fed is not such a great idea. Let's turn the financial system back to JP Morgan control.
False dichotomy.
Jpm control? Just like it is now?
End this nonsense...wheres fonestar and his Bitcoin babbles?
Where's McMolotov?
He needs to throw one of his parties.

Well, well. Where honeymooners play the "Hide the Sausage" game.
Don't that Trump all... in getting screwed in an opulent setting.
The international bankers used artificial inflation and deflation to create depressions, recessions and panics in the late 1800s and early 1900s to convince unsuspecting Americans that their current banking system of individual banks was unstable and that they needed a central bank. It was the final move by the world's banking families to kill off rival banks. And, still, passage of the Federal Reserve Act could only be accomplished through stealth because the American people were solidly opposed to establishment of a central bank. And, so, Congressional tricks were necessary to put the plan in place (primarily a camouflage over the prime movers behind the heist).
“The Panic of 1907 was the excuse, or the catalyst, that was used to push for the establishment of the Federal Reserve. The bankers would not risk having to rely on one man, like JP Morgan, to bail them out the next time around. The American public would provide the bailouts going forward (whether they like it or not). That can only be done with a central bank in complete control of the money supply.”
-- Ideas Created the Federal Reserve…Ideas Can Get Rid of It by Chris Rossini - Economic Policy Journal
“The 1907 panic was created by fractional-reserve banking. When the bank runs got underway, and panic set in amongst the public, JP Morgan orchestrated the bailouts and the “liquidity” to “save the system”. Remember this was pre-Fed.
“The 2008 panic was also created by the fractional-reserve banking system — along with — the central banking counterfeiter that now exists. The bailouts this time around were provided by ‘The Hero.’
“Before we go any further, a few things have to be understood. First, both in 1907 and 2008 the banking systems were dishonest and fraudulent. The situation in 1907 is actually preferable to today because, back then, gold still provided a check on the bankers. In 2008 (and today) there are no checks. It’s basically unlimited power for the bankers to finance whatever they want (until economic law shuts them down eventually).”
Is the Fed the only entitiy that has a perpetual charter? I always thought one could not have any contract or legal agreement that exceeded 100 years?
Congratulations, you murderous liars.
It's almost like I'm listening to Satan himself in many different forms...
Winning!!! it ain't.
As if it were not beyond repair and not in need of an immediate intervention instead of a zombie's birthday party.
That tape they ran for the party assembled said gold was bad. It said the Fed rode to the rescue after 9/11. It said they couldn't imagine what things would be like today without the Fed, that now we wouldn't suffer the roller coaster of the 1800s. How'd that work out for you, Fed?
On December 23rd we need to hit them hard on their glad-handing social media. 90% purchasing power gone. That is complete failure for the American people but I'm sure a huge success for the bankers. Ending the Fed must be the first step in fixing this nation.
Let's leave with a quote from Henry Ford:
It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.
If you like your FED, you can keep your FED.
That's a pic of FDR, is that while he was signing EO 6102?
If not, why is it there?
I thought that too.
The Creature is about to make it's final attack. Unfortunately for it, on a long enough timeline the survival rate for everyone drops to zero.
