 Topic: The Obama DeceptionPosted: 29 Aug 2009 at 3:50pm |

Ok so, they never denied the fact that our planet is warming up they explained why the planet was warming up, and how it is not ralated to human activity, but more to astronomical events such as sun spots. The government is trying to put carbon taxes in place, trying to make the people feel as if it's our fault the Earth is warming up when there is proof that this has happened before throughout different periods of time. The point of that section is not to disprove global climate change but to show you that we are not the problem like they are making it seem, it's just another scare tactic like 9-11 that will allow them to put their plan into motion.

That whole section was taken verbatim from their website.
I think both of our statements say similar things with slightly different connotation. For instance, you said, "It's not a government entity," while I referenced, "independent within the government." Both are comparable. Regardless of the banks public or private nature. The Fed is neither as bad nor powerful as this documentary made them out to be. As an aside, I am not well versed on banking practices at a national or international level. |

The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects. As the nation's central bank, the Federal Reserve derives its authority from the U.S. Congress. It is considered an independent central bank because its decisions do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branch of government, it does not receive funding appropriated by Congress, and the terms of the members of the Board of Governors span multiple presidential and congressional terms. However, the Federal Reserve is subject to oversight by Congress, which periodically reviews its activities and can alter its responsibilities by statute. Also, the Federal Reserve must work within the framework of the overall objectives of economic and financial policy established by the government. Therefore, the Federal Reserve can be more accurately described as "independent within the government."
HanFei, The Federal Reserve Bank and all of it's branches are all PRIVATE. They have never ever been a part of the US government. They are owned by shareholders of stock. The Federal Reserve System, and the branches, are operated by the major banks in the WORLD, which are all publicly traded banks, owned by shareholders. As such, the Federal Reserve is a private entity, owned by the shareholders of the controlling banks. Also, the Federal Reserve has many unique atttributes. For example, instead of issuing "stock" directly, the Federal Reserve issues a special type of "bond". It's not much different than a C-Corp. It's not a governement entity.
Every entity, under American law is either owned by people (or other business entities) or by the government. There aren't any other American entities by law that the US government recognizes. The US recognition of American institutions are based on the tax code. The confusion regarding The Federal Reserve started over a hundred years ago. The people of the US were truly scared that a private bank had reached a level where they can control American economics, world economic, stock markets, etc. Thus Congress enacted the Federal Reserve Act, creating the Federal Reserve System. This was a lousy attempt at trying to squash the confusion, by making the Federal Reserve the bank of choice of the US government. They have absolutely no control over the decisions or operations on this bank. The bank is not a profit making machine? Really? It loans money to the US government, private/public banks, international governments, and at a very high interest rate. They make money. They are not a registered non-profit organization. The stimulus bill was a money making mechanism. A lot of the money disperse to the banks were based on the interest the loan would produce. It's in the bill. The US government took a loan out on the entire amount fromt he Federal Reserve at a significant interest rate, and the collateral was taxpayer's revenue over 10 years. As such, most people just a**ume that the Federal Reserve is a government entity. There is nothing government about it. The US government, through the Act, have created some formalities which make it appear as though the US government has control over this bank, but the truth is the world banks run the show and the US government doesn't. The President's appointment of the Chairman is nothing significant. It's like having a chairman of the board, a worthless position. Don't a**ume that the chairman of the board has some special powers. This person does nothing more than run meetings. If the Government appointed the CEO, which they don't, it'd be a whole different story. Also, there are dozens of great books on this subject. Pick one up. It makes for great reading from a US history, Economics, Tax, and legal standpoint. I can go on about this for hours, but the simple truth is, "The Fed" is a private enitity, seperate and disticnt from the US government.
I recommend asking any reputabe person at any major financial institution who they think the Federal Reserve is. If they truly understand banking and the markets, the response they give you will be enlightening.

1) All governments are manipulated by a world bank. Presidents just change over time. ~17min (No other evidance provided.) 2) Suckering the middle cla** back into the stock market. (Stock market is bad???) 3) Dictatorial world government kept behind the shadows for our benefit. ~19min (Wow, just Wow...) 4) US the formerly powerful nation state ~37min (We still have the #1 economy = to about China, Japan and China combined!) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=highest+gdp 5) Presidents come and go, but the shadow government remains to keep. ~43min (Really?!? no other prof) 6) Arrest Ben Bernanky. 55:15min http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/magazine/20Ben-Bernanke-t.html 7) Fed is Unaccountable banker. 56min (Simply incorrect, as seen by my post above.) 8) Fed is totally private. ~1 hour (Blatantly inaccurate, as seen by my above post.) 9) No one is above the law... ~1:01hour (Well, I'm glad we established that... lol) 10) Implode and concolade the economcy. ~1:03hou (Really?!?) 11) "They" are always imploding economies and buying them up ~1:04) (Really?!?) 12) "Anthropogenic global warming is a fraud. 1:25hour (Second post to come. How he can disprove Anthropogenic Climate Change in a few minutes of dialogue, while PhDs have published thousands of peer reviewed papers is beyond me...) 13) Rapper speaks again. ~1:46hour (I'm glad such a distinguished and learned individual is lecturing us.) 14) There is a million people in the planet. ~1:47hour (6.67Billion He's 3 orders of magnitude off...) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=world+population I would like to point out that this video is produced by Alex Jones, who spent the last 7 years claiming that the terrorist attacks of 9-11 were a conspiracy planned and orchestrated by the Bush Administration. No matter how much you may hate Obama (if you do or don't, I don't care...), you don't like Alex Jones. |

Heard a lot about this but I'm not wasting 2 hours on something of no concern to me (American Politics) but these whole conspiracy theories do interest me, whatever they're on... so what are these main points?

Watching that took awhile. It was well worth the time invested. While I disagree with some (very few) of the conclusions, it's real hard to deny the facts in it.

Boogie, that documentary has gotten a lot of attention and a lot of people are getting pissed off at the government. the most interesting part is the segment about the Federal Reserve Bank, which is a private bank.
