Just what do you think the Federal Reserve and the Senate are hiding?
I just received this news on the progress of HR 1207 & S 604 from the Campaign for Liberty via email.
July 6, 2009
Dear Friend of Liberty,
Earlier today, the first shot in our battle to pass Audit the Fed through the U.S. Senate was fired on the Senate floor by Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina.
Senator DeMint, who has a well-deserved reputation for taking the battle to the other side in the Senate, once again proved why he is such a valuable ally in our fight to bring transparency and accountability to the Federal Reserve.
A little while ago, the Senate voted to pass HR 2918, the Legislative Branch Appropriations Act. This $3 billion bill contains, among many other things, provisions for GAO audits on certain agencies.
Seizing on a chance to take quick action to bring Audit the Fed up for a vote, and with the GAO provisions in mind, Senator DeMint attached the full text of S 604, the Senate version of Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill, to HR 2918 as Senate Amendment 1367 before it was considered for final passage.
However, Senate Democrats refused to even allow a vote on the amendment! That’s right. The internationalist, Fed-loving elite in the Senate used a parliamentary tactic to shut down DeMint’s amendment.
After Senator DeMint brought Audit the Fed to the floor, Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska raised a “point of order” to prevent a vote, claiming that the amendment violated Senate Rule 16 by “legislating” on an appropriations bill. The Senate president agreed, and the amendment was shot down.
Senator DeMint did not back down, though, and directly challenged Senate leadership by pointing out the other GAO audits contained in the bill. As Senator DeMint listed them off, the Senate president was forced to agree with Senator DeMint that each one he described, all of which would be left in for final passage, also violated Senate Rule 16.
Which tells us at least one thing: the problem wasn’t with “legislating” on the bill or violating Senate Rules (which is commonly done). Shooting down the amendment was about preventing a thorough audit of the Federal Reserve for the first time in its history!
Senate leadership is hoping this issue will just fade away so they can get on to what they deem to be more “important” business, like dictating what kind of healthcare plan you and I can carry or passing destructive Cap-and-Tax legislation.
But the American people deserve answers on what the Fed has done with trillions of our tax dollars and what they are committing us and future generations to as part of their secret deals with foreign central banks and governments.
The leadership decided today to turn their backs on transparency, but our fight is just beginning.
As Senator DeMint made clear on the floor, the Audit the Fed bill has wide bipartisan support. He rightly warned the Senate that even if they delay today, they WILL have to deal with the issue on the floor.
It is up to you and me to back up Senator DeMint’s words by making sure the momentum continues to build and the bill comes up for a final vote.
The rejection of the Audit amendment is just the first battle in our war. Now is the time to really put the pressure on the U.S. Senate to Audit the Fed!
Senator DeMint fired the opening salvo and showcased the hypocrisy of the Senate for allowing other GAO audits to be included in the bill while refusing to even allow a vote on Fed transparency.
Again, we’re just getting started. Senator DeMint will keep fighting to pass Audit the Fed on its own or as an amendment, and we need to continue putting pressure on our senators to do everything in their power to achieve a floor vote!
Click here to sign our online petition. And visit our Audit the Fed action page for contact information to call, write, and fax your senators and urge them to support S 604 and to push for a final vote.
Together, we will finish this fight to Audit the Fed!
In Liberty,
John Tate

There are three groups of people in this world that emerge in any crisis:
1–those who make things happen
2–those who watch what happens
3–those who wonder what happened
It’s only recently that a fourth group has emerged, those who manufacture conspiracy theories that expose the stupidity of the members of this group.

Understanding that the centralization of power created in money printing is held by the Primary Dealers, who own the Federal Reserve, Banks don’t go bankrupt … especially the Primary Dealers. When they get close, they get free money from the Fed [other banks] at the Fed Funds Rate [currently free]. So investors could buy these “Sure Things” along with a basket of other not-so-good-financial-products that the investment bank knew was bad. Who gets left holding the bill? Under central banking, an inflation tax takes it from the wage earners over time … also called Zombie banks. They exist, ******* the capital out of the economy to repair their balance sheets. And by appropriating tax dollars towards their bottom line through interest on the federal debt burden.
The pressing issue is the right of a borrower to obtain credit at whatever terms the market dictates. Unfortunately, under central banking, the government sets that rate. The cost of money is price fixed by the central authority … the Primary Dealers disguised as the Federal Reserve.
The government borrowed $700 bln from the Federal Reserve [banks] at 4.00% [exact rates unknown], only to loan it to the same banks at 0.00%. The resulting accounting gain is 400 basis points on every penny. That’s pretty good.
We HAD to do it, or the whole financial system was going to collapse!
Just like a used car salesman. The reality is, the system DID collapse and is now being resuscitated forcefully.
Imagine knocking your opponent out in the fifteenth round [bank system collapses = no more foreclosures]. And the government just gave him a gun to shoot you with. Yer done.
Yes, the American people actually paid to make sure that the banks are still there tomorrow to take away their house. Laughable … but that is the curse of debt.
Where do we go from here? That seems less sure everyday.

EDIT: LIBERAL ASSKICKER… You are starting to read like the ones you claim to kick; you are kidding yourself. Have you completed any independent research into the ‘Conspiracy Theories’ that you are alluding to? I can go toe to toe with you regarding the Federal Reserve’s & the international banking cartel’s true agenda with independently verified sources besides the biased & unbiased ones I’ve listed today. Let’s do 9/11 while were at it so I can get you up to speed; don’t play the ostrich game like your lib antagonsits as it’s very unbecoming for a hard line conservative. Throw it down, unless you are afraid of the truth and it is UGLY. I’m ready, are you? Wouldn’t want you to get left behind ’cause the trains gettin ready to leave the station & alot of your & my compatriots are already on board….
Nice work matthew!
Ni_ga luv readin dat an imagininininumum them senators squirmin an sh_t!
But seriously folks,
Fortunately, or unfortunately, I have done much research on this subject of the Fed.
To be “FAIR” it could be that the Senators who stalled the proceedings have legislation that they are going to need votes for…the ol’ game, or more succinctly, they haven’t had time to squeeze certain Republican senators to get concessions or a ‘vote’ from them on THEIR (the Dem’s) legislation before they’ll allow a vote …most likely that could be it. Or…..
I have a very good understanding of what the Fed is hiding, including a lack of any accounting acountability records for many IMF/World Bank disbursements (GAO has verified that 40% of the IMF assets originated from the Federal Reserve!), the detailed disbursements to certain federal ‘projects’ and their sponsors…WTF?! Yep, I wrote it; I think the biggest questions are going to be based on the discovery, once an audit gets underway, that there aren’t any records to probe certain transactions, let alone even being able to know what the transactions were (and of course there should be); this will indeed raise more questions.
As far as the Senate goes, at this point it’s safe to say that, they eventually will be left holding the bag and Americans will want blood after the audit is published. The Fed is their primary and in many cases only source of corruption. I shudder to think what even I would do were I a U.S. Senator with access to all that printed fiat currency, having the ability to print money from nothing, or if you must insist, DEBT that hasn’t even accrued yet!…the temptation is just too great, and of course all justified as it (i.e.whatever legislation is the flavor of the day) is “for the good of the people”…yep all that unreadable thick paged legislation.
Dems may also realize that this could be the beginning of the end for something else, besides their careers as U.S. Senators. The NWO & the elite international banking cartel. Can some of you who are up to speed on this topic imagine the history of electronic communications THAT MAY exist on the Fed computers?!?!?!?!
I shall be communicating with Senator Barbara Boxer’s (CA-D) office immediately regarding how her ‘constituent’ insists on having that audit done =D
Fu_kin criminals! Just wait peoples …y’aint seen nothin yet!

People often ask if the Kennedy Assassination was a conspiracy. The answer is yes, of course there was a conspiracy. Why else would evidence be “classified”. Why is it still being concealed from the American people? Obviously, to protect the guilty. And anyone involved in keeping it concealed is a party to the conspiracy.
And so it is with the Federal Reserve. To swindle the American people out of 96 cents of their dollar is criminal. If you were involved in an act like that, would you want the American people to become aware of how it was done? I suspect not.
As to the reason that many politicians do not want the Federal Reserve System exposes, they are benefiting from the creation of new “money”, just as if they had counterfeited it themselves. They are not about to help expose this system and loose this source of free “money”.
