Obviously, plate not found on an oligarch's car.
Well, somebody must enjoy getting pulled over.
Frederick Eugene Dickerson, Betty Ann Dickerson...lovely couple, often see them yachting off Cape Cod.
That's MY STATE !
NoVa
Ditto
My state is confused.
at least the license plate was not a Sons of Confederate Veterans - :o/
It would be worse for the owner (but supremely ironic) if it was a Credit Union plate.
My state too. SoVa.
Congratulations car owner, you're now on "the list"
If you are not on "the list", you are not doing it right.
If you are not on 3-4 lists, you are not doing it right.
There, fixed it for you.
terror alert - see something say something
Wrong FED
So CONFEDERACY GOOD?
That reminds me; Barry is gossiped to be rewarding Al Shapton with the Medal of Freedom this weekend for all his . The ceremony allegedly will be held on Farrakhan's veranda and televized by Hufpo. Katlyn and Kim are rumored to be making guest appearances.
The armies it belongs to hasn't killed anyone for a 150 yrs
I doubt if that will be the case for the next 150 years...
According to that us army war colledge study you would be correct sir
The fact that the civil war was actually started because of tarrifs on the south and the south said 'Fu' does not play into the white vs black idiotic meme.
And who perpetrated that meme? New Yorkers who emigrated here after the war, mostly from Russia.
"Double" meaning unfortunately...
Could be someone who legitimately hates the Fed?...
Or
Could be Ben Bernanke or Janet Yellen's car?....
Given the hubris of those two I wouldn't be at all surprised they would flaunt that kind of a message complete with a "barbed wire" chrome frame to go with it!!!
they will outlaw that soon and replace it with a rainbow flag to honor....
I prefer wearing a sprig of hemlock myself.

Shay's revolt also included a tax on locally made ethanol, which was used a currency. After the revolt a lot of the foreclosed on farmers moved south and continued to 'print' real currency with their stills...even to this day.

We've had the Fed since 1913, and in 2000, were were 4% of the worlds population and consumed 25% of the worlds stuff.
America enjoys a GDP per hour worked of $66, destroying all but a few small nations.
I've come to believe in the aggregate of a nations economy, that a central bank is not bad when looked at from the perspective of the history of the worlds economies and standards of living.
Yes, but I could argue America's prosperity would have been achieved without the fed, and was probably achieved in spite of it. There's probably no way to untangle the data and find out.
Close, but it's much worse. They are parasites. They have been a serious drag on prosperity. They funded 2 world wars that killed millions. They have funded the contrived conflicts since WW2. They have funded corporate 'offshoring' since US debt went super nova in August 1971(closing of the gold window). The US industrial base has been hollowed out thanks to them. Now, they are funding tens of millions of idle feeders to buy the cheap Chinese garbage at Wally World instead of doing anything useful. This makes China stronger while atrophying the US economy further. They've made the US into a paper tiger that can be destroyed with a bucket of water!
End product; our inner cities are third world slums.
You will be down voted for speaking the obvious.(as will I) we talk little of REALITY like IRAN – NORTH KOREA – SUDAN – CUBA not having a Central Bank...I think Somalia is a good example too. But then again…this is ZH
Maybe so, but in the roughly 10,000 years of human civilization, central banks were around for what, 400? Great wonders have been achieved without CBs and with.
As far as I have been able to research online, there were no banks in North America prior to the American Revolution.
There were some wealthy, large corporations that threw their weight around, but no chartered banks.
DaddyO
We didn't have a government until 1787. Any banks belonged to the crown. The term corporation would be incorrect for the time period.
The war of 1812 was to gain conroll over the banking system.
Hamilton did Rothchilds( et al) bidding.
Ok corporation was my term, officially they were called companies, like the Virginia Company, the Plymouth Company, the London Company, etc.
They used private armies to protect their goods, services and territories much like the use of police forces today.

As long as economic production outpaces fraudulent fiat creation, no one pays much attention to the parasites. When the body starts suffering from all the theft, people wise up.
US credit creation passed the point of diminishing returns around 2000, so Greenspan ratcheted up the theft thru interest rate suppression to keep his masters happy.

The nations/countries are sanctioned for not playing the game of Monopoly. Corruption is fed through the nipple of a baby bottle. The suffering of the people as a result of the attempt at protectionism/isolationism cannot be overstated. This central bank, as it stands, is based on manipulation and punishment. We can do better than this banking system and you goddamn well know it.
that I do. we can do WAY better...but as it stands. It is REALITY. like it or not. Not the fantasy, insane, selfish libertarian loony dream they peddle here for truth. On the flip side, I hear Somalia practices bartering and free trade. Also, N. Korea enjoys practicing sustainable electrical grid shut downs during the night. 10 inflated FRN's has me betting on the lack of them printing that shitty debt you abhore has something to do with it.
@ Jason T
So I will instead use Great Britain for my example. How's it worked out for them? I mean the old Central Bank idea?
Now I do believe at one point there was this thinh called The British Empire. How's that looking these days? Funny they were supposedly on the "winning" side of the two world wars and somehow lost their empire. Why might that be?
Hmmmm. Let me see here what could they have possibly doen to affect that? How about leverage their empire to the hilt, over extend themelves internationally and finance it all with endless debt that couldonly have been facilitated by...wait, wait...
A CENTRAL BANK.
Does this sound remotely similar to another englis speaking nation with a superior navy?
The Fed is simply a financing mechanism to bypass sound money. Upon reviewing its history one sees and endless succession of panics, crashes, depressions, and recessions all of which were the reasons that the central bank was created to prevent. I'll go ahead and issue it an F for that mandate. But more impressive is the llooming 20 trillion dollar federal debt. Say that a couple a times and get back to me. Then do basic math and-holy shit batman!-THERE IS NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL IT EVER GETS PAID.
Sorry arithmetic is cold bitch. So how eceactly does that play out? Well in a fiat currency environment the money is devalued (dollar's lost 98% of it's buying power since the Fed's inception) and guess who takes it in the ass? Haha that's right, it's the responsible ones the fucking savers! Ain't that grand?
Oh yeah and the middle and lower classes get fuct as well since their shitty wages afford them nothing. Nevermind that for DECADES they have also been debt slaves anyway as built in inflationary policy (which is pretty much a given with a central bank) and are on the hook for all that as well.
Sure it all looks just swell on the surface with stupid arcane bullshit metrics like GDP but over time it will end badly. Just ask the 94 MILLION parasites that are not in the workforce.
You must read crap economics like Freakonomics to get such pointless inane shit like this based totally on correlation and completely lacking causation.
Yes. WW2 could have been avoided if the US FED hadn't bailed them out of their war debt for WW1 during the FED-created roaring 20's. They should've starved just like the Germans.
Does the license plate qualify as "treading"?
Sic Semper Tyrannis brother.
The best advice I can give anyone, Janice, especially a first-time buyer on the topic of buying a distressed property is, don’t do it!

My Dad was a landlord one time until he got rtoyally screwed over by a tenant for $18,000. Took a loss on selling his two properties also. Not as easy [and safe] as you think! An individual can't transfer his losses to the Fed either.
The barbed wire is no accidental symbol, either.
My plate is better; same VA Don't Tread On Me but says "NWO SUX" down w bankster scum!!!
pictures or it didnt happen :p
Being in VA, I'd think people around there think it's wrestling more than anything.
Can I fit "GUILLOTINETHEFED" on a license plate?
Zion is a scheme, not an ethnicity.
Must have worked for, or at the FED. Probally heard Lloyd and Jamie conspiring in the hallway...
Those plates in Texas cost $110 depending on how long you stretch the payment plan out...
PHHHHHH!
(snorting beer through my nose because I laughed too hard)
....AND, THEY ONLY ACCEPT FEDSCRIP!
(On a side note, do you realize that private conveyances are not technically sublect to licensing requirements, and individuals not using vehicles for commercial purposes [passengers for hire, paid salaries for transportation of goods] are not technically required to get 'drivers' licenses' for the same reason?)
Das Rayciss! Better ban license plates now.
suggestion for something else that might be of more interest to ZH readers: HSBC missing 275k direct deposits today:
