I just read powerful evidence that the Federal Reserve is doing an excellent job.

    If this statement is correct...… that the bulk of the interest generated by the loans issued by the Fed..... go back into the budget of the USA...… then........ I no longer have any serious issues with the American Federal Reserve System!

    This is news to me...… although it looks like this has been going on for a long time.

    Who Actually Owns the Fed and Why That Must End


    If dad2three is correct.............. then all the criticism that I have read of the American Federal Reserve System is terribly exaggerated!

    It's true. There are MANY issue's with the fed, IMHO, but EVERY nation has a formal reserve system to run their nations economy.

    IF people looked at the history of booms and bust 1800-1913 the US had a 2008 style recession (BUST) every 5 years on average somewhere in the USA

    The US has had only 3 large bank failures since the fed reserve was set up in 1913

    It was policies pushed that had closest to laisse affaire economics like the US mainly had with regulator policies 1800-1913.     It was policies of "markets know best" by Harding/Coolidge (GOP great depression), Reagan (S&L crisis) and Dubya (Subprime). Coincidence?





    The US has had 3 banking failures in the past 90 years. All 3 times the GOP (Party of stupid) was in charge. Weird right?

    The Democrats are the party that says government will make you smarter, taller, richer, and remove the crabgrass on your lawn. The Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work and then they get elected and prove it. P. J. O'Rourke

    What do you think about my belief that the Fed must begin to take into consideration the probable threat of rising ocean levels and how best to prevent this from happening?

    http://www.politicalforum.com/opini...saving-new-orleans-florida-rising-oceans.html

    The Sahara Forest Project...and saving New Orleans and Florida from rising oceans!



    Did you know that there is an Islamic prophecy that the Islamic desert regions would be turned green in the latter days?????

    This topic is of special interest to me because I live about a hundred miles from the Bay of Fundy. I live five kms from the ocean on the eastern part of Nova Scotia. In my area the difference between low tide to high tide is about one meter! The land form of the Bay of Fundy has a funnelling effect on tidal waters and so parts of the Fundy have a difference of fifteen to seventeen meters between low to high tide!

    The question on my mind would be if ocean levels were to rise about thirty centimeters in my part of Nova Scotia, would they rise by four or five meters along parts of the Fundy????

    There are 143,000 acres of farmland taken back from the Fundy by dikes that are probably in the position of the proverbial canary in a coal mine in relation to rising ocean levels!

    Every cubic meter of H2O added to the water table of nations in the Middle EAst will NOT be on top of New Orleans, Florida, Holland, Bangladesh or those 143,000 acres along the Fundy!!!!!

    I felt a huge sense of relief when I first heard about The Sahara Forest Project!

    The only things I've read on objections about the Federal reserve come from conspiracy believers and things like Zeitgeist.

    So really don't know anything about any valid concerns and objections that others may have.

    I am 99% convinced that the money supply has been manipulated to make the economies of Canada and the United States look far worse than they really are in order to break unions that already exist and prevent other unions from even being formed.

    This was bad for the economy but............. actually quite good for the environment because any objective well informed observer of modern history will admit that the average person is far too concerned over job creation.......... and no where nearly as worried as we should be about how those jobs are setting in motion a series of events that will terribly harm the environment?!

    It would be great if they did a better job of financing the development of truly green sources of energy.

    On the other hand……… the misconception that one percent of the population controls monetary policy is almost certainly false.

    In my opinion….. neither Mitt Romney nor even Bill Gates are yet invited to the type of meetings that took place that led to the bankruptcy of 56,000 business owners just after the Civil War ended.

    I just read a quite intelligent post regarding the existence of the "Illuminati."


    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=322115&page=3&p=1065488614#post1065488614

    Do you believe the Illuminati exists?

    At this time it seems to me that your statements are highly relevant to the possibility of Mr. Donald Trump becoming President?

    On the other hand.....
    I totally agree with The Donald in his call to audit the Federal Reserve.....

    because the specific numbers involved must be put in front of the American people.....
    and the political representatives that they vote for......

    It is working well I the sense that it is burning through reserves in a time it should be stockpiling. The FED has always functioned on the same principle as an emergency fund or food reserve. During good times the Fed raises interest rates this puts a damping effect on the growth but also builds flexibility within the monetary policy. When the market crashes the Fed can lower interest rates to boost the economy.

    Now here is the question. We are supposed to be in this growth period but interest rates are still at almost 0. So what is the Fed going to do when the market crashes. Since Clinton the good times rate has been about 6%, now it's 0. They have no room in their rate to stimulate the economy.

    The Federal Reserve is awesome. Unfortunately we don't need any more monetary policy... we need fiscal policy and we need it badly.

    Or.... do we need to begin to look at the value of human life........
    and the other living creatures around us in a different way..........

    that elevates their value above that of gold, silver, oil or other less
    energetic .... commodities?

    A massive reevaluation of national wealth must occur in order to finance....

    While I do agree we should be spending trillions more on alternative energy because that will set you up for economic domination in the future. But since conservatives hate green energy I will be satisfied with any fiscal policy that increases spending. Literally anything. Even if they want to spend more money on the military.

    The key could be that Conservatives love Israel.......

    the idea of turning Israel even greener.... and expanding large scale desalination into the nation of Jordan.......
    in such a way that caused Israel and Jordan to cooperate..... at least in terms of keeping terrorism to a minimum......

    could be the answer that leads to a much more stable Middle East formula.

    Why do we pay the federal reserve to manage the economy? Why do you believe they do a better job than the free market?

    One fact in their favor is that the USA and world economy has not gone through
    a major Depression since the Federal Reserve began to act on behalf of the USA
    government.

    The political leaders who felt that politicians could not be trusted with the astonishing
    powers of the Fed were not entirely unwise to feel this way!

    On the other hand....... the possibility of zero to one percent interest being charged on
    some loans that would be win - win - win - win - win - win to 95% or more of Americans
    is an option that should be put on the table and should be an important part of President
    Trump's promise to have the Federal Reserve audited.

    Americans can learn a lot from Canadian economic history, especially 1940 - 1974.

    Yes.......... and they really do deserve credit for getting us to the year 2019 in relative calm
    ..... that was not such a small accomplishment but............

    the statements after the seven minute mark in this video are accurate....... it is just that the big picture is so much larger.......

    Theoretically..... the proposed Republic of Western Canada could
    be the new nation / organization.... that could save the USA economy..........
