Ron Paul's message to Occupy Wall Street: End the Fed

The 8:00 mark to 9:00 contains the meat of the message and the 'End the Fed' pledge.

"They would go to the Fed if they knew what the Fed was"

Video take by some Wall Street traders who watch as protesters of Occupy Wall Street are arrested, with one person in the background of the video suggesting he wanted to shoot the protesters with a Glock pistol.

The most salient point of the video, however, comes near the end at about the 6:45 mark.

Commenting on how it has taken the protesters almost a month to find their way down to Wall Street itself, one trader says: "They would go to the Fed if they knew what the Fed was!"

And that dear reader is the issue in a nutshell. 

Whatever the cornucopia of complaints the #Occupy Wall Street individuals may have, the root of the problem is the Federal Reserve - the privately owned Central Bank who currently has the authority to control the money supply.

US President Thomas Jefferson saw this when he said:

• "The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."

He also said:

• "A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army... We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."

President Andrew Jackson also saw this. When he disbanded the US Central Bank (created after the time of Thomas Jefferson and called, at the time, the 2nd Bank of the United States).

When it came time to renew the bank’s charter in 1832, President Jackson put his re-election bid on the line and, after winning the election, vetoed Congress’ attempt to renew that Charter. When he vetoed the Charter renewal he said:

• "Is there no danger to our liberty and independence in a bank that in its nature has so little to bind it to our country? Is there not cause to tremble for the purity of our elections in peace and for the independence of our country in war? Controlling our currency, receiving our public monies, and holding thousands of our citizens in dependence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than a naval and military power of the enemy."

Most people do not understand the Federal Reserve Bank.

It is necessary to understand that the Federal Reserve is not owned by the United States government as many believe.

The central bank, the Federal Reserve Bank, is a private bank, owned by some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. This bank has nothing to do with the U.S. government other than the connection that allows it to print US currency.

The Federal Reserve Bank has a total, government-enforced monopoly in money.

This is the root of all the problems which the protestors at #Occupy Wall Street, and all those in sympathy with them, wish to address.

And to address those problems, efforts must be focused on the root of the problem: Central Banks and the US Federal Reserve.

That's why Ralph Nader recently said on CNN:

• “The Federal Reserve is now a government within a government. It is totally out of control. Congress doesn't control it. It's funded by the banks and we either have constitutional government or we don't."

Some words of understanding from Occupy Wall Street

They say that the protesters in the Occupy Wall Street movement don't understand why they are protesting.

As part of that understanding, I have been posting a series on the history of the US Federal Reserve and Central Banks.

I hope you have taken time to check out Part's 1, 2 and 3.  Part 4 is coming.

Central Banks are at the heart of our economic problems and this protestor at Occupy Wall Street in New York captures the essence of the problem succinctly.

As he says, "in 1913 this country died."

He understands. Make sure you do.

History of Central Banks and why we must End the Federal Reserve

Part 1 (48 B.C. - 1791)
Part 2 (1791- 1865)
Part 3 (1865- 1913)

The Battle for the Message Begins

I suspect over the next few weeks we will see a theme appear in some of the media coverage of the Occupy Wall Street protests as they spread across North America.

And the theme will focus on the one like in this story, How silly are the End the Fed signs at Occupy Kansas City?

Adbusters, the Vancouver-based anti-consumerist magazine, called on people in July’s 97th issue to flood into Lower Manhattan on September 17 to “occupy Wall Street for a few months.”

Obstentially the movement is to protest against corporate greed. But 'End the Fed' is an important component of real solutions for 'Occupy Wall Street'.

And I would suggest that a titanic battle is now underway to try and extinquish the 'End the Fed' component.

Articles in support of the movement are starting to pop up as well, like this one: Ron Paul and Occupy Wall Street should jointly call for full public disclosure of all Fed bailout money.

US Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul Supports the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Movement and there are a great many who do not want the two messages linked.

Understanding the role of central banks is our current economic situation is crucial.

And driving a wedge between the protestors and this concept is going to be a major theme in the coming weeks.

As Ralph Nader said on CNN...“The Federal Reserve is now a government within a government. It is totally out of control. Congress doesn't control it. It's funded by the banks and we either have constitutional government or we don't."

The power elite DO NOT WANT the 'Occupy Wall Street' movement to get anywhere near embracing this message because it is within this message that real reform and real solutions lie.

Tues Post #3: The 'Occupy Wall Street' protests go mainstream media (Updated)

For the past week a rag-tag group has been carrying out a protest on Wall Street. Orchestrated on the streets and online, the effort has been dubbed "Occupy Wall Street".

The demonstration is against corporate greed and while it promised thousands, so far it has delivered just hundreds. But the perserverance of the dedicated is starting to draw attention.

Mainstream media have mostly ignored the story, but as Police violence starts to ramp up against the peaceful protesters... the spotlight is starting to shine on what's going on in the streets of New York.

Above is 10 minutes of coverage by MSNBC on the brutality by the New York Police Department.

We will watch developments with keen interest.

England's Guardian Newspaper covers the protest here.

CNBC touches on the story here.

And the Vancouver Courier newspaper covers the Vancouver angle here.
