La tipa que ha contratado la FED para hacer de lobista y presionar al congreso es la misma pajarraca que se encargaba de la campaña de Enron, antes del colapso. No se si la FED prevee que puede colapsar y por eso contratan a la experta en estos casos...

Federal Reserve Hiring Lobbyist for Political War by Thomas Eddlem

Federal Reserve Hiring Lobbyist for Political War

The Federal Reserve caused the current economic crisis by suppressing interest rates and creating the housing bubble, Texas Congressman Ron Paul, Euro Pacific Capital president Peter Schiff, and others have charged. And now there’s finally been enough political push-back for the damage the Federal Reserve has wreaked that the Fed will be hiring a lobbyist.

The Federal Reserve’s choice of lobbyist is Johns Hopkins University Vice President Linda Robertson, who serves in a public relations role at the medical school. Robertson served as an aide on Capitol Hill in the House of Representatives. She served throughout the Clinton administration as a senior advisor to three treasury secretaries, and won the Treasury Department’s highest award, the Alexander Hamilton award. Her partisan service in the Clinton administration could be a sign that the Fed will tie its future to the Democratic Party, which is currently in charge of both legislative chambers of Congress and the White House.

Robertson has experience lobbying for another Ponzi scheme besides the Federal Reserve, but it is not something she'd likely want to boast about. Bloomberg.com reveals that she “headed the Washington lobbying office of Enron Corp., the energy trading company that collapsed in 2002 after an accounting scandal.” Not surprisingly, Robertson's Johns Hopkins biography omits her lobbying efforts on behalf of Enron.

Could the Fed be anticipating an Enron-style collapse? The political tides seem to favor a political debacle for the Fed, and even some former Fed officials are realizing it. “Some members of Congress think there are votes in attacking the Fed” after it “unnecessarily and unwisely entangled monetary policy with fiscal policy,” former St. Louis Fed President William Poole told Bloomberg.com.

Viendo que en sus antecedentes no consiguió salvar a ENRON de la quiebra (ni por asomo), ¿deberíamos comenzar a respirar aliviados viendo el negro futuro de la FED?

Yo sigo pensando que, mientras el Congreso y el propio Obama sigan sintiéndose cómodos con la FED (y mientras la banca siga untando generosamente a los políticos y financiando sus campañas), poco hay que se pueda hacer. Tristemente, toda presión popular en dirección contraria a la FED se acaba diluyendo entre cientos de millones de americanos a quienes ése tema les da igual (o simplemente, desconocen).

Pues este proyecto de ley (HR1207) ha conseguido ya más de 200 co-sponsors. Si los 200 votaran a favor la ley pasaría. A menos claro que Barack Obama se negara a firmarla (es uno de los derechos del presidente) con lo cual el congreso necesitaría otra votación y una mayoría más grande aún para hacer bypass al presidente. Pero si Barack Obama se negara a firmar la ley sería una ostia en toda la cara de los que creen en él. En los 200 co-sponsors hay muchos demócratas, además de republicanos. Te imaginas que pensaría la gente de que se negara a firmar una ley para auditar al cartel privado? Será interesante ver que pasa.

Y para celebrar que ha llegado a los 200: FUCK THE FED by NealF

Fed Would Be Shut Down If It Were Audited, Expert Says - Markets * US * News * Story - CNBC.com

CNBC: La Reserva Federal sería clausurada si la auditaran

The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is so out of whack that the central bank would be shut down if subjected to a conventional audit, Jim Grant, editor of Grant's Interest Rate Observer, told CNBC.

With $45 billion in capital and $2.1 trillion in assets, the central bank would not withstand the scrutiny normally afforded other institutions, Grant said in a live interview.

"If the Fed examiners were set upon the Fed's own documents—unlabeled documents—to pass judgment on the Fed's capacity to survive the difficulties it faces in credit, it would shut this institution down," he said. "The Fed is undercapitalized in a way that Citicorp is undercapitalized."

Grant said he would support legislation currently making its way through Congress calling for an audit of the Fed.

Moreover, he criticized the way the Fed has managed the financial crisis, saying the central bank's target rate should not be around zero.

"I think zero is the wrong rate for almost any economy," Grant said, adding the Fed has "embarked on a vast experiment in moral hazard. Interest rates are the traffic signals in a market economy, and everything's green. ... You have to wonder whether these interest rates are the right clearing rate or rather they are the imposition of a central bank."

Amid a disparity between analysts predicting there will be no rate hikes soon and the fed funds futures indicating tightening by the end of the year, Grant said he thinks the Fed indeed will begin raising rates as inflation creeps into the picture.

Fed funds futures have fully priced in as much as a half-point rise in the target rate from its current range of zero to 0.25 percent.

"If the hairs on the back of your neck stand up when there's too much unanimity of opinion, then one begins to worry about this," he said. "The Fed proverbially has been late."

Obama Oders Extermination Of Amazon Indians

Obama Orders “Total Takedown” Of US Federal Reserve Bank

By: Sorcha Faal, and as reported to her Western Subscribers (Traducción al Español abajo)

Russian Foreign Ministry sources are reporting in the Kremlin today that US President Barak Obama has informed Prime Minister Putin and Chinese President Hu of his intentions to “totally takedown” the private banking system known as the US Federal Reserve that since its dubious creation in 1913 has had complete control over the printing of all US money in what many detractors have long stated was in violation of the American Constitution.

Virtually unknown to the American people about the Federal Reserve Bank is that it is comprised of 12 branches that are private corporations whose ownership is shrouded in secrecy and is the largest holder of United States debt said to be in excess of over $4 Trillion.

Fueling Obama’s growing anger over the Federal Reserve Bank, these reports continue, has been their arrogant refusal to reply to the many questions being asked of them by the United States Congress over what has happened to over $8 Trillion of US taxpayer money, and which caused US Lawmakers to take the unprecedented step of issuing a subpoena yesterday to force the Federal Reserve to turn over internal documents related to Bank of America's acquisition of Merrill Lynch.

The Federal Reserve Bank, in a desperate bid to hold on to its power over the Untied States, has hired one of Washington D.C.’s top lobbyists, Linda Robertson, who curiously, headed the Washington lobbying office of Enron Corporation which became one of the largest corporate bankruptcies in US history after they cheated investors out of a staggering $11 billion.

More ominously though, with Obama’s plan to destroy the Federal Reserve Bank he becomes only the second US President to attempt to break this insidious creatures stranglehold over the United States after President John F. Kennedy, on June 4, 1963, signed Executive Order No. 11110 to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest.

On that day President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the US government the power to issue currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Kennedy's order gave the Treasury the power “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars [photo 3rd on left] in the Treasury.” This meant that for every ounce of silver in the US Treasury's vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion in US notes into circulation.

Five short months later, President Kennedy was assassinated, and upon assuming office, newly sworn in President Lyndon Johnson recalled all of the US notes Kennedy had put into circulation and making President Ronald Reagan the next to challenge the power of the Federal Reserve, but which abruptly ended with his near assassination on March 30, 1981 by the hand of the crazed son of former CIA Director, and then Vice President, George Bush’s closest friends and oil business backer John Hinckley Sr.

President Reagan had pitted himself against the Federal Reserve over their refusal to lower the crushing interests rates they had imposed upon the American people during the US recession of 1980-1982 which was their greatest since the Great Depression, but after his near death quietly signed into law on September 13, 1982, H.R.6128 which became Public Law No: 97-258 that was written on the behalf of the Federal Reserve by little known US Congressman Peter Wallace Rodino Jr., with no co-sponsors, and made it illegal for any future American President to print on money for the American people.

But, according to Russian legal experts, even though Public Law No: 97-258 does appear on its surface to constrain President Obama; President Kennedy’s Executive Order No. 11110 has never been repealed by any American President making a showdown “inevitable” between Obama and the Federal Reserve before the US Supreme Court, and which Obama has recently nominated US Federal Judge Sonia Sotomayor to America’s highest court where she will become the 6th Roman Catholic Justice and giving the Vatican near total control of US monetary policy.

And, in this epic battle between the Vatican backed Obama and the Rothschild backed Federal Reserve, we can plainly see that the 1849 secret agreements between these two monstrous powers that have enslaved the West is nearing its catastrophic end, and with no clear winner to be seen but an entire World being destroyed in its titanic aftermath.

In what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu considered a “threat”, the US stated to Israel this week that “We are going to change the world. Please, don't interfere.”, the American people have not even been told.

This cannot be said of Putin, however, who immediately upon learning of Obama’s “battle to the death” with the Federal Reserve joined China and Brazil and ordered Russia’s Central Bank to begin divesting itself of US Federal Reserve holdings and replace them with International Monetary Fund bonds as the United States is about to be crushed with what London’s Fleet Street News is calling “The Triple Crown of Financial Catastrophes” which can very well see the complete destruction of America.

And, most sadly of all, the American people themselves continue to remain the only people in the World not knowing about what is soon to happen to them. One indeed wonders what it will take for them to ever wake up from their long sleep.

La propuesta a llegado a 218 co-sponsors que es mayoría en el congreso.

Paul (TX14) - Press Releases - Audit the Fed Bill Reaches Crucial Benchmark

Audit the Fed Bill Reaches Crucial Benchmark

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act, HR 1207, has reached and surpassed the level of 218 cosponsors in the House of Representatives, which means it is now cosponsored by a majority of the members.

The 218th cosponsor was Dennis Kucinich (OH-10), and the bill has since received its 222nd cosponsor.

“The tremendous grass-roots and bipartisan support in Congress for HR 1207 is an indicator of how mainstream America is fed up with Fed secrecy,” said Congressman Paul. “I look forward to this issue receiving greater public exposure.”

Hearings on Federal Reserve transparency are expected within the next month, as part of the Financial Services Committee's series of hearings on regulatory reform.
