Is Harry Reid The Most Hypocritical Man In The World?
While Dos Equis has its most-interesting-man, we think we have found the 'most hypocritical'. Until today we thought Sandy Weill was the undisputed champion in this category, but after seeing this clip we think he has strong competition. At around 40 seconds into this lengthy diatribe, everyone's favorite Libertarian Las Vegan utters the most two-faced hypocritical words that he could possible have uttered: "I think we should audit the Federal Reserve". Between Harry Reid's recent vehement anti-Paul behavior and the whip-order that Democrats received on Ron Paul's bill yesterday, this is stunning. While the sell-out nature of this kind of politician does not surprise us, we thought it prudent for all US citizens to understand the true nature of the political class that decides an increasing amount of our day to day lives.
Yesterday's whip order...
Subject: WHIP ALERT – DEMOCRATS ARE URGED TO VOTE NO ON H.R. 459 – FEDERAL RESERVE TRANSPARENCY ACT
This week, the House is expected to consider H.R. 459 – Federal Reserve Transparency Act. This bill directs the GAO to complete an audit of the monetary policy deliberations, actions, and related matters taken by the Federal Reserve System before the end of 2012, followed by a detailed report to Congress. Most significantly, the bill would repeal existing restrictions on the GAO’s authority to perform audits of Federal Reserve monetary policy activities.
Like all other major central banks around the world, the Federal Reserve is an independent central bank, and its monetary policy actions are not subject to approval by the Administration or Congress. While Congress has set out the policy goals the Federal Reserve is to pursue – maximum employment and price stability – the ability of the Federal Reserve to pursue monetary policy independent of political influence is critical to its ability to fulfill its dual mandate.
Moreover, Congress already conducts regular and robust oversight of the Federal Reserve and actually expanded GAO’s audit authority two years ago in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. It expanded the types of audits GAO may conduct of the Federal Reserve, as well as the data that must be disclosed to the public. The Federal Reserve’s financial accounts have long been subject to audit both by the GAO and an outside, independent audit firm.
This bill impedes the independence of this critical institution. In order for the Federal Reserve to do its job effectively, it should not be subject to short-term political pressures. The experience during debate on the debt ceiling last summer should demonstrate to the American public that House Republicans cannot be allowed to hold our economy or our critical economic institutions hostage in order to further their extreme agenda.
DEMOCRATS ARE URGED TO VOTE NO ON H.R. 459.
Reid's magical words begin around 40 seconds into the clip...
Indeed, probably the most hypocritical man in the world...

You ever read that 16th Amendment?

http://www.givemeliberty.org/features/taxes/notratified.htm
Brilliant. Good luck. Meanwhile, I'd ask what you know about this, which, it would seem to me, is a far more important story with much farther-reaching implications...
http://www.theufochronicles.com/2012/05/ufos-filmed-hovering-over-us-air...
I don't know anything about it, but it looks pretty interesting.
Have you read "Beyond a Pale Horse" by William Cooper?
Not yet, but I do try to take a look at everyone's version of history. If I can get it in the library, I'll read it. I think you mean Behold a Pale Horse, no?
(Not a lot of discretionary income these days, and the whiskey ration is priority uno, if you catch my drift.)
There is another great one on GLADIO you can get at amazon.
Very informative.
Behold a Pale Horse is a must read.
Here, Bill Cooper predicts 911.

"we thought it prudent for all US citizens to understand the true nature of the political class that decides an increasing amount of our day to day lives."
politician = an idiot who can speak publicly bullshits.
Politics, bitchez.
Remember Sen. Schumer's call a few days back for Bernanke to stimulate the economy before November?
This is a threat by the Democrats to Ben Bernanke: Stimulate the economy -- NOW --- or we will audit the Fed.
This video is from 1995. The fed is currently funding his pet projects now so it doesn't benefit him to maintain this stance.
Oops! In any case, the Dems are passing up a golden opportunity to pressure the Fed.
He is a pig. I'll bet you wn't see this the Today show or Good Morning America. I'd be pissed if I wasn't to the point where nothing surprised me any longer.

The comments are awesome about this "story"
Nevada, please stop voting for this guy. What is wrong with you. You vote for RP but also HR. Mind and dick blowing.
Voting, think we got Stalin speaking truth on this one.
I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.
Taking a que from Stalin, is Soros' SOS program for Sec of State, an attempt to capture the office in all red states to make sure the vote counts are "correct".
Nevada doesn't vote for Harry Reid. Clark county does. A clear example of why the 17th amendment was a bad idea.
The evil 17th amendment destroyed the federal nature of the union that the founders intended by eliminating the direct influence of the state’s legislatures in the lawmaking process and turning the entire congress into something that could be more easily controlled with money and propaganda.. just what the banking interests wanted.
Reid would likely not be there and certainly Obama never would have made it out of his state district if not for the 17th Amendment.
Thank you, Woodrow Wilson. who also brought us WWI, income tax and the Fed.
Wow a poltician acting two faced...quick is water still wet?!? They are just actors, and bad ones at that.
Partisan slimeball....
Harry Reid, you're no Chuck Colson
Nice find. If this goes viral, I'm sure Reid will come up with some lame excuse why he can't support the bill this time around.
COWBOY POETS
So pols and things change, LOL.
Just took +50% profits on SPY Aug 133 calls that earned Six reds two days ago on ZH:

Why don't we start with being able to declare bankruptcy with your student debt like say you can with...GAMBLING DEBTS!
Reid and Dems opposing this are getting hammered by their constituents. Reid, Pelosi and the others who already are lame ducks are going out in flames. This could be the beginning of an awakening and possibly a uniting point against banksters and government alike.
I sure hope so. I don't look forward to TSA agents outside eveyone's door anal-raping them on their way to work (or collect Obama Bucks) every morning.
Hilarious and yet sad at the same time.
It isn't over yet.
IIRC, the "Audit the Fed" amendment in the Dodd-Frank was the watered down Mel Watt version, not the original Paul-Grayson amendment.
"Is Harry Reid The Most Hypocritical Man In The World?"
Most disputed title in the world ... Mr. Transparency, I will close gitmo and raising the debt ceiling is a crime is fighting hard to defeat Reid.
Don't forget... I'll bring the troops home as soon as I get into office, and you can take that to the bank.
The amendment Reid is supporting requires the Fed to justify any raise in interest rates. Reid untruthfully claims this is to protect everyone from the "homeless to someone doing a multi-million dollar deal on Wall Street". His true concern, however, is that a rate rise would affect the government's ability to fund itself and, of course, Democrat-supported entitlement programs. His real message is: "You want to audit the Fed? Then swallow this too.", knowing full well no one will take him up on it. Meanwhile, he says he favors auditing the Fed. Sure.
Dingy Harry was the main test subject when it was confirmed that politicians have the same personality traits as serial killers.
a multi millionaire , all as a public employee !
yep, ole harry was only worth 27$ when he strode into the senate for the first time carryin his (now full) saddlebags.
Reminds me when Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling as a Senator followed by his sickening grandstanding. Then he became president the next year and completely changed his mind on the subject... and pretty much all other subjects he campaigned on.
Right. The banks are the Fed.
By the way, if you hate Romney because he is a Mormon, Harry Reid is also.
There are so many reasons to despise both of them, not sure why anyone would want to limit themselves to religion.
Of so true! Both supreme douche bags.
How many wives does Harry have? How many does Romney have? The voters want to know.
I'm sending this link to my shitty NY senators.
Just sent it to both of them. Probably won't do any good being in NY, the welfare capitol of the world.
I'm always shocked when people who should know better act surprised at how DC and Wall St operate. The Senate is there to block this kind of legislation at the request (I could say DIRECT ORDERS) of the financial elite who run the US government, Wall St, and The Federal Reserve. All it takes is a single filibuster and 41 sellouts to put an end to it.
And you can blame Reid today. That's OK. But only because he's the leader of the majority. It could just as easily be Mitch McConnell carrying the water for TPTB, and you know it.
When it comes to money and big business in this country, both parties will gladly do the bidding of the billionaires.
.......and in other news, NASA reports that the sun is still hot.
Union Apples & Oranges
In search of order, gravity, empire capital employs the middle class to expunge labor, creating quantum disorder - strangers, orphans, and widows. Regardless of motive, Bernanke is doing you a favor, creating time, a random generator, which you may employ at will, because the robots are locked up in the status quo of their own decisions, always seeking others to blame.
Labor must reflate, but the entire global infrastructure is designed to expunge it. The more money they direct, the more powerful the bomb. That’s it; throw fuel into the FIRE, exponentially. Aggregate behavior cannot pilot the ship. Only you can do that, in concert, beyond empire recognition.
Step aside and the politicians breed themselves to death every Single time. That is History. Nature is several orders of magnitude more powerful than any and all government, because it has much better R, diversity, and Nature itself is but a dot in the landscape that is the universe.
7 billion people all trying to solve the same problem is stupid. Get about your own work. Solving problems that others cannot makes you human, unique. Government can get out of the way or perish. All capital is a derivative of labor, drilling on the outermost event horizon, which changes course at will, but capital’s own redundant delay, monetary policy, specifically ignores the change in course.
Union, under God, always withstands the test of time, because its value, the unknown, is timeless. Government, corporate efficiency, is always a prisoner of time, knowledge. “Without big banks, socialism would be impossible. The big banks are the state apparatus which we need to bring about socialism, and which we TAKE ready-made from capitalism.” There is your point of reflection. Where do you suppose the next one will occur?
The US saved itself, temporarily, by bringing the entire global economy to the cliff edge. Now what? Where do you suppose demand on the margin must come from to pull all those a-holes back on course, to prosperity? The forest is demographics within demographics, the rabbit hole.
The robots are bred by their robot masters to think that labor may be replaced by a c-clamp. My response is this: if I can replace you with a computer I will, by giving it to you as a weapon to employ against others. Think as you please, and buy just as many Apples as you can.
I will only work with married people, raising families, and I will fire any that are allowing their children to run the streets as hoodlums, regardless of what any manufactured majority says or their masters do. Like the bee, I am a laborer. That is UNION, not the mealy-mouth, bankrupt, morally devoid politician projected as labor by self-serving empire TV.
Bottom Line: The middle class chose the Apple, again.
Wake up. YOU ARE THE REGULATOR. Abdicate to others at the cost of your own destruction. Whether anyone likes it or not, an economy judges itself, based upon how it treats strangers, orphans, and widows. Whether you like it or not, you are completely dependent upon the kindness of a stranger. The bridge is self-catalytic because the explicit gravity centrifuge reduces out all but unique event horizon degrees of unknown resonant tuning. As you travel, you become increasingly comfortable with the unknown and uncomfortable with the known. You are not going to find the answers to your QUESTions from others.
Work your own problem.
Does anyone wonder now why our state of Nevada is #1 in foreclosures, #1 in unemployment and #1 for the state with some of the worst growth in the nation. But the casinos keep paying Harry what he demands. And he keeps lying to th people so he can keep his job and continue to steal from us.
He is way overdue for an assisted living apt.
With it's own little gas chamber, opps, suana.
Left is right, down is up. Get a load of this guy! Will the real Harry Reid plese sit down!
Fuck Harry reid and the rest of those bought out pieces of shit in Congress
Slick Harry: words come out of him like shit from a goose.
Thank you for notice. I called Reid and my two Senators office. All three received 1) my concerns about Reid's hypocricy, 2) my belief that a person in any democracy should not be able to spend $2.7 trillion and 3) asked all to support this bill for the sake of our democracy and rule of law.
I am sure my action changed nothing, but I do feel better. (Note: Reid's phone was busy but I got through.)
I encourage all to call.....GIVE THEM NOISE AT LEAST
I lol'd.
Harry also tried to push through an online poker bill....by banning it EXCEPT FOR his buddies at Caesar's and MGM can get the cut when it came back (at the player's expense).
Fuck Harry Reid.
Funny! 10 Year Treasury was trading near 8% then
If we had only listened to Harry back then, none of this would have happened!
And Dirty Harry won't investigate Treasury and theor HAMP, HARP programs. Look at commercial RE price w/o HAMP,HARP and residential w/ HAMP, HARP.
http://confoundedinterest.wordpress.com/2012/07/26/commercial-real-estate-recovering-faster-than-residential-without-hamp-harp-and-other-administration-programs/
Harry is the well deserved poster boy for hypocracy. I looked hard and couldn't find any Democrats that aren't. The Reps have some but not as many.
But this ain't noth'n new. It's the nature of politics and mankind. Alexander Hamilton was dissing Thom. Jefferson by 1879 in a whisper and letter campaign. Socrates was forced to do the hemlock kool aid because he was teaching the good and not the party line.
You really can't top Jesse Jackson or Maxine Waters. Maxine Waters, now there is a hypocrite and a full blown asswipe residue kinda commie. Yep, the list is very long.....
..... and ya know when Tail Gunner Joe was exposing the Roosevelt-Communist connection he was totally villified, yet when the Venona Papers were finally declassified ...yep, turned out he was totally correct .... gives me a warm feeling knowing Edward R Morrow died a painful death from lung cancer. Fuck'm all.
"You can go straight to hell."
Maxine
Another phoney POS Mormon. I thought Nevada had more sense.
I learned some new vocabulary from someone on here a few days ago with a link to the Urban DIctionary. Let me try and use it in a sentence...
"Harry Reid wants to give Nancy Pelosi a Harry Reid with his Harry Reid."
He is indeed a rare asshole... #2 is McConnell and with Geithner, Boehner, Pelosi, Cantor, Jarrett and Roach Holder all neck and neck for asshole of the decade. It will be honest, Cheney is tabulating the votes.
All rare assholes indeed! Cheney get's the spot for #1 mass murderer of the 21st century. I think he deserves the position of #1 humanitarian criminal!
Is it just me or does he bear more than just a passing resemblance to Arnold Ernst Toht from Raiders of the Lost Ark?
Dumbest white guy
Harry Reid isn't white. He's a member of the The Tribe.
<a> dumbest white guy </a>
was there someone out there who expected better from Harry Ried. Please.
Politicians names are chosen as crossword puzzle anagrams. Harry Reid = Hair Dryer - why are surprised that all we get from him is a lot of hot air?
Somebody please kill this POS!
whatch it harry,you'll put someones eye out with that finger! oh I'm sorry, your just showing us your IQ.
It seems Reid has a new boss than when he spoke as if he was concerned about the Fed and the homeless. Just another puppit on a string, Or donkey chasing a caret.
You can chat it up with Harry @
“Congress already conducts regular and robust oversight of the Federal Reserve” except for the exemptions where we can hide all of the transactions that make us the owner of the country. And that crazy old man, Ron Paul of Texas, is trying to close those exemptions and embarrass us leading to all kinds of dangerous questions.
“DEMOCRATS ARE URGED TO VOTE NO ON H.R. 459” or else we will pull your campaign support and see how you like it.
Ben(hr)
Actually, there is meticulous “oversight”; but the oversight is the Federal Reserve using its powers of blackmail and monetary persuasion to oversight Congress. When Bernanke is testifying at a congressional hearing, the body movements alone tell you who’s in charge.
At least that dickhead is doing the right thing re gun control.
Obama calls for strengthening gun rules, Reid says no time for debate
Perhaps this is a way for them both to look good. The biger dickhead calls for strengthening gun rules while the lesser dickhead doesn't allow it to be debated, thus saving some of the gun rights folks who would vote for the dems.
Voting for the dems or the repubs - - hahaha what a choice.
I'm default to Jesse Ventura's new book: DemoCRIPS and ReBLOODlicans: No More Gangs In Government
http://www.amazon.com/DemoCRIPS-ReBLOODlicans-More-Gangs-Government/dp/1616084480/ref=pd_sim_b_2
you know they're up to some seriously heinous shit when they trot out the "no time for debate" line.
"I don't have time to bleed" - J. Ventura
I laughed a Jesse V. when he was, first, running for Governor. Now I hang on his, every, word!
Considering Steve Wynn and Harry Reid are both from Nevada and Wynn is one of Reig's biggest contributors, no. A couple of hedge fund managers tied to backs of trucks and dragged over cactus, now that's change I can believe in.
Wtf is wrong with you Nevada?
¡Pero qué haces?....
and yet somehow this doesn't seem nearly as important as Fascist and Furious.
idiots.
...you had me at hypocrite.
And this from a guy who kept his seat under the most shady circumstances. He's a well-hated and outspoken shill for the big powers in Washington.
to zerohedge:
you have to understand that harry reid's "i think we should audit the fed" = are odummer's words. you have to be a "CYNIC" to understand.. OR you can be a non-cynic and sign up for a subprime mortgage from the nice banks, buy FB @ $45.....vote for liars.....etc. etc...I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CYNIC....although that doesn't mean i'm unhappy..i still sing jingle bells for ex. and i'm very happy i SPENT ZERO HOURS TALKING TO MY LENDER...LOL !!! = i "missed out" on the housing mania !! LOL !!!!!!!
anyways, odummer is taking heat for his QEorganizing activities..he's trying to quell criticism of HIM ORDERING bankrupt-bernanQE what to do. IT'S ALL A SHAM !!!! A SHAM YOU CAN BELIEVE IN....NOT ME!! i ain't believing jack !! i ain't buying jack !!
the most hypocritical person = odummer
+1 for Sandy Weill
Traitor.
C'mon.. that was so 1995...
If we just decided to ignore the F3D, would they just go away?
Harry Reid is a criminal like the rest of them. Hopefully we will all see him go to prison or be executed too someday.
Thanks, Harry. He motherfuckered online gamblers and tried to make it so that only his connected con-men in Nevada could do sports betting and poker online. Fuck him and his mother. She's dead? I don't care, dig her up and fuck her up the ass. Audit the fed, audit the fed. Audit this scummy motherfucker!
free Jon Corzine...
Why pick on Harry -- 90% in congress are the same.
Seize his and his familys assets and lock him up and throw away the key.
The members of CON gress that you think are the nice guys are actually the controlled opposition.
Q. Is Harry Reid the Most Hypocritical Man Inthe World?
A. Yes, equal to many politicians and bankers.
Edit: Although calling him a man is unfair to men.
He said: "Senator Dorgan has spoke out on the secrecy of the Federal Reserve System. He's spoken out on the Federal Reserve more than anyone that I know in either body"
Huh? Senator Dorgan spoke out on the Federal Reserve more than anyone he knows in either body?
I can only assume that Reid does not know Ron Paul.
