			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today&#8217;s discussion will be on currency. Typically in the Federal Reserve system there are 2 different forms of currency. Currency in which you see, the dollar bill that is in your pocket, and the currency you keep in the bank, which is only numbers stored on a hard drive.</p>
<p>Whenever you open an account at a bank, you hold yourself at risk of losing your investment to a certain point. Such as not banking with an FDIC establishment and FDIC Bank Reserves are low and can not account for all money inside the bank&#8217;s accounts.</p>
<p>However, this issue I want to show you today is a controlled example on what happens to your money once it enters the banking establishment.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-197"></span><a href="http://www.williamreed.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/banking.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-198 aligncenter" title="banking" src="http://www.williamreed.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/banking.png" alt="banking" width="336" height="224" /></a></p>
<p>Lets say this is my bank, and I put $10,000 dollars into a savings account. The bank will use my money as collateral to created $100,000 of credit to loan out to other individuals. Now on this fictional money that has been created will draw interest from the debtor, I will normally receive between 1.5 &#8211; 2.0% interest on average while the bank keeps the rest. Now the Interest + Principle from ex.A is real money being given to the bank to pay off fictional money.</p>
<p>Ex.B : This section of the circle shows the federal reserve seeding money to the bank, for use in the Sub Prime mortgages. Ex.C shows that the Bank has now created 10 million USD out of 1 million USD, both of which are fictional. However, this fictional money is going toward the purchase of a REAL object, a house. Just like your original $10,000 in the center of the circle $90,000 USD is going toward the purchase of real objects, however using fictional money stored on a harddrive.</p>
<p>Ex.D is where the real problems began in this circle / bubble. Banks began creating bonds using the Sub prime mortgages as collateral, in which private companies would invest into for &#8220;wealth&#8221; management. This means investing private &#8220;real&#8221; currency is being invested into a real product which was bought with fictional money.</p>
<p>How, these sub-prime mortgages were preferably given to people whom the banks new would never be able to repay the debt of owning a home. Also, with an Adjustable Interest Rate the banks were able to inflate the interest that an individual pays on top of their principal balance. This produced a hardship on many of these individuals, as many were unable to repay nor refinance with a Fixed Interest Rate.</p>
<p>The real thing to question here is, What really caused this? My theory is that the federal reserve made a call for its money in an attempt to contract the currency market place, and this caused the AIR&#8217;s to explode.  In doing so, many people left their homes with none payment, and it leaves the banks with property that is now worth less than what it originally was when the initial loan was made. This is, in essence, your boom and bust cycle. The Federal Reserve is able to seed money into the marketplace, fictional money, which creates the appearance of a booming economy. In doing so, the federal reserve is creating inflation that is not seen until later.</p>
<p>When the federal reserve cuts off the money supplied to the banks, this is when things go awry. This is all but a small overview of how the federal reserve creates money through debt, and then inflation when they cut off the supply.</p>
<p>A lot of these banks were to caught up in the mess and were bailed out by the federal government, creating more debt, that we the people have to pay off. We just didn&#8217;t have a say in this, yet we&#8217;re stuck with the bill.</p>
<p>Now, building off of what the previous system was. If a bank over extended itself, the people would normally do a run on the bank. By withdrawing their cash, they have a say in the banking practices. However, during a panic, it is realized that there is not enough money accountable for every account, and that is why it is called a panic.</p>
<p>If the marketplace was filled with only real currency that was fully controlled by congress, this fractional reserve system of credit would not have taken off in the way that it has. However, in the climate of how our Congress works, a majority of our legislative servants are bought and paid for by the Banking Industry. Flawed by Design and this portion is hardly noticed by your everyday citizen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jekyll Island was a prominent island for wealthy businessmen and elites to conjure during the 1800s up until its purchase by the State of Georgia in 1947.</p>
<p>In reality, Jekyll Island was the all exclusive club for the wealthy. In which, peons such as you and I would never been able to visit during that time period. However, something sinister was bore from the island, and it&#8217;s wretched tentacles have to to disembark from this country.</p>
<p><span id="more-177"></span></p>
<p>A group of men gathered in Jekyll Island club house, with the goals intact. A way to institute a National Banking system that would only concentrate their own wealth over the long run. These men included Senator Aldrich, Abraham Andrew (Assistant Secretary of the Treasury), Frank Vanderlip (President of Citibank, Rockefeller Intrest), Henry Davidson (JP Morgan), Charles Norton (First National Bank of New York; later merged into Citibank), Benjamin Strong (head of JP Morgan&#8217;s Banker&#8217;s Trust Company; First Federal Reserve Chairman) and finally Paul Warburg.</p>
<p>Paul Warburg was possibly the most prominent of the men attending this meeting. He understoon how European banking systems worked and was able to show the logistics of this and come up with the plan of the Federal Reserve.</p>
<p>The people in this time period were against the money trust, similar to what we are against today; the banking industry and wallstreet. So had the people known that this secret cabal meeting was going own, and the Federal Reserve Act was to come out of it, it would&#8217;ve never passed in the way it did.</p>
<p>With the Money Trust writing and executing the act in secrecy, they were able to protect their interest and user in slavery via &#8220;inflation&#8221;.</p>
<p>Tomorrows Topic will be on inflation, what it is and how it affects you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today, I have drawn my personal line in the sand.</p>
<p>From today until September 30th, I am going to spend every day reporting my research on the Federal Reserve. In response to my disgust, I am going to fast to bring light on this important issue in our country. I  am putting my own body on the line as a response to what I feel is corrupt and needs to be abolished.</p>
<p>For today&#8217;s Lesson on the Federal Reserve, I want to set up a timeline of events prior to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913. <span id="more-168"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bank_of_the_United_States">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Bank_of_the_United_States</a> :</p>
<blockquote><p>In 1791, the original Bank of the United States, sometimes referred to as &#8220;The First Bank of the United States&#8221;, was proposed and brought into being under the support of the first Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton.</p>
<p>Along with establishing a mint and an excise tax, the purpose of Hamilton&#8217;s proposed bank was to:</p>
<p>* Establish financial order, clarity and precedence in and of the newly formed United States.<br />
* Establish credit—both in country and overseas—for the new nation.<br />
* To resolve the issue of the fiat currency, issued by the Continental Congress immediately prior to and during the United States Revolutionary War—the &#8220;Continental&#8221;.</p>
<p>A student of both the French finance minister Jacques Necker and his British counterpart Chancellor of the Exchequer Robert Walpole (in addition to his own extensive reading), Hamilton devised a bank for the whole of the country, not just for sections or states.</p>
<p>According to the plan put before the first session of the First Congress, Hamilton proposed establishing the initial funding for the Bank of the United States through the sale of $10 million in stock of which the United States government would purchase the first $2 million in shares. Hamilton, foreseeing the objection that this could not be done since the U.S. government didn&#8217;t have $2 million, proposed that the government make the stock purchase using money loaned to it by the Bank; the loan to be paid back in ten equal annual installments.</p>
<p>The remaining $8 million of stock would be available to the public, both in the United States and overseas. The chief requirement of these non-government purchases was that one-quarter of the purchase price had to be paid in gold or silver; the remaining balance could be paid in bonds, acceptable scrip, etc.</p>
<p>By continuously insisting on these conditions the Bank of the United States might technically possess $500,000 in &#8220;real&#8221; money that it could, and would, use as security to make loans up to its capitalized limit of $10 million.[2] However, unlike the Bank of England from where Hamilton drew much of his inspiration, the primary function of the Bank would be commercial and private interests. The business it would be involved in on behalf of the federal government—a depository for collected taxes, making short term loans to the government to cover real or potential temporary income gaps, serving as a holding site for both incoming and outgoing monies—was considered highly important but still secondary in nature.</p>
<p>There were other, nonnegotiable conditions for the establishment of the Bank of the United States. Among these were:</p>
<p>* That the Bank was to be a private company.<br />
* That the Bank would have a twenty year charter running from 1791 to 1811, after which time it would be up to the Congress to renew or deny renewal of the bank and its charter; however, during that time no other federal bank would be authorized; states, for their part, would be free to charter however many intrastate banks they wished.<br />
* That the Bank, to avoid any appearance of impropriety, would:</p>
<p>1. be forbidden to buy government bonds.<br />
2. have a mandatory rotation of directors.<br />
3. neither issue notes nor incur debts beyond its actual capitalization.</p>
<p>* That foreigners, whether overseas or residing in the United States, would be allowed to be Bank of the United States stockholders, but would not be allowed to vote.<br />
* That the Secretary of the Treasury would be free to remove government deposits, inspect the books, and require statements regarding the banks condition as frequently as once a week.[3]</p>
<p>To ensure smooth compliance to both the current and future demands of its governmental accounts, the Bank required a source of additional funding, &#8220;for interest payments on the assumed state debts would begin to fall due at the end of 1791&#8230;those payments would require $788,333 annually, and&#8230; an additional $38,291 was needed to cover deficiencies in the funds that had been appropriated for existing commitments.&#8221;[4]</p>
<p>To achieve this, Hamilton repeated a suggestion he had made nearly a year before—increase the duty on imported spirits, plus raise the excise tax on domestically distilled whiskey and other liquors. This was the origin of the Whiskey Rebellion.</p></blockquote>
<p>In 1811, Congress voted down rechartering the First Bank of the United States. If you read this article as carefully as I did, you will have noticed that the First Bank of the US was allowed to have foreign shareholders, who after the end of 1811 would no longer make money off of their investment. After the First Bank was closed down it became common knowledge that many of the investors were British and Dutch. This is interesting because of the War of 1812.</p>
<p>In response to the War of 1812, The Second Bank of the United States was set up in 1816. Major reasons for it&#8217;s formation was heavy inflation due to financing military operations from the war. Given a 20 year charter the Bank would be up for rechartering in 1836. Andrew Jackson, ran on a platform of ending the Second Bank, because when a private corporation has its hands involved with monetary policy, it will cause corruption.</p>
<p>In 1832, Andrew Jackson removed all money from the Second Bank of the US. In 1836 he vetoed the charter and by 1841 the Bank was defunct.</p>
<p>Now, there is a lot of similarities between these banks.</p>
<ul>
<li>They are both Privately owned.</li>
<li>Both have allowed shareholders who are not American.</li>
<li>They Both have FULL control over the monetary system.</li>
<li>They Both will loan money to the US Government in return receiving interest on the debt.</li>
</ul>
<p>A trip through history will show the evolution of how the Federal Reserve came about. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, did not include a charter like it&#8217;s previous incarnations. This was a safety net so they could not be stopped. They are still privately owned, have control over the monetary system and loan money to the government at interest, which is considered our National Debt, though through the Black Books, the National Debt should be around an estimated 30 trillion USD.</p>
<p>Tomorrow will be a new day.</p>

<p>This is some of my own raw footage from last night when Bachus was doing a meet and greet. The gentleman in front of me did an exceptional job on asking about how 550 billion USD disappear in 2 hours. This shows how clueless Spencer Bachus is, and he&#8217;s the RANKING Minority member on the House Financial Services Committee.</p>
<p>At about 2:14 you&#8217;ll see my jab about ENDING The Federal Reserve, and getting brushed off when I stated we need to remove the fiat currency and get out of our markets. His only reply was that he was the one that got Ron Paul on a Subcommittee and that they don&#8217;t have the votes. You&#8217;d think that some of these people who cosponsored the Audit the Fed bill would at least doing something.</p>
<p><span id="more-159"></span></p>
<p>Spencer Bachus held a town hall meeting in Birmingham, Alabama last night. I decided to attend and make my voice heard on who he really is.</p>
<p>Spencer Bachus has been in congress for well over 15 years now. Only recently has his true colors creped into the light.</p>
<p>On October 3, 2008 Congressman Spencer Bachus voted for the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, which is bill that created TARP. We all know this as to being a corporate welfare project for the banks who gave out loans to people who couldn&#8217;t afford them in the first place, many under the discretion of Congress.</p>
<p>What you may not know is that from 2007 to 2008, Spencer Bachus received over $232,000 from the banking industry, $136,000 of it from their PACs alone.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;type=I&amp;cid=N00008091&amp;newMem=N">http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/summary.php?cycle=2008&amp;type=I&amp;cid=N00008091&amp;newMem=N</a></p>
<p>Now, who do you believe Congressman Bachus is willing stand up and fight for? The banking industry has stuffed his pockets full of money and he returns the favor. Of course in the end we are the ones who will end up with the bill.</p>
<p>We need more people in Congress who are willing to stand up and realize that it is time to break the shackles of the Federal Reserve. They are the ones who are causing these economic meltdowns by continually expanding and contracting the market place. In turn it causes massive inflation, and that is the tax that most Americans never see.</p>

<p>I watched most of this yesterday, and thought about it for awhile. Where has all of the money gone? The first 158 billion USD from the 2008 stimulus package was sent to the people, and it didn&#8217;t help the economy. Well, $600 per household isn&#8217;t going to do to much to the economy, especially if people use it to pay bills or, do what I did, put it into a savings account.</p>
<p>Besides, throwing money at the problem will not stop it. Allowing the problem to subside, and take care itself will fix the problem.  However, with having an entity such as the Federal Reserve, they will not step aside and let the market take care of itself. They want to throw money at it and create more inflation. That is the real and true problem in this country. If the country wanted real economic freedom they would want the federal reserve to be disbanded. The Federal Reserve is essentially the shackles that keep the common citizen down. During inflation periods, the currency becomes devalued and worth much less than it originally was.<br />
If only the US congress would realize this, we could move on and go back to a better system. Especially since the US Constitution specifically says that Congress is the one with the power to regulate currency.</p>
<p>All that I can say is you better watch out for these stimulus bills and energy tax bills, they&#8217;re going to bite the hand that feeds them pretty soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems that all I continue reading in the news lately is about General Motors and Chrysler&#8217;s bankruptcy/merger issues and the money that is being handed to them by the federal government.</p>
<p>Yesterday in the <a href="http://http://www.tuscaloosanews.com/article/20090530/NEWS/905299959/1007?Title=Sen-Shelby-assails-large-federal-role-in-GM-s-fate">Tuscaloosa News</a> Senator Shelby is stated that we are on a &#8220;road to socialism&#8221; when we should be letting the market place decide on the automakers fate. Now, while it is fine for him to say this, and I agree that the markets should decide what happens. However, I have to ask, is it really socialism?</p>
<p><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/socialism">Socialism</a> &#8211; a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole.</p>
<p>Now, if this was truly socialism with the federal government purchasing a stake in these automakers by lending them money, should the people own/have a right to the said companies?</p>
<p>The answer to that is no.  Why not? Because it is not your tax money that is being printed up to loan to the automakers.  The money trail leads from the obvious source, the Federal Reserve. The money is printed up by the treasury department, sold to the Federal Reserve at pennies on the dollar and then the money is then LOANED to the Federal Government at an interest rate that the citizen bears via Income tax collection. So theoretically the Federal Reserve is the one who owns the assets, but the people are the ones that will bear the burden. That is unfortunately how our Central Banking system works.</p>
<p>So, Mr. Shelby, I think you are wrong in saying that we are heading into socialism. The people are on the hook for debt and interest payments of the money, but we do not own a stake in the companies that were given a bailout.</p>
<p>Now, lets take a look at what a better definition of this is<a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fascism">.</a></p>
<p><a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fascism">Fascism</a> &#8211; A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.</p>
<p>Ok, lets take out the mention of racism in this issue, as I feel it doesn&#8217;t relate to what I am debating.</p>
<p>The centralization of authority is essentially under the United States President and Congress, either of which are controlled by outside sources; Bilderburgs, blackmail, pay offs, etc.</p>
<p>Opposition of the government is censored in nearly every way other than the Internet. Now, with <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/29/cyber.czar.obama/">Obama&#8217;s latest announcement of a Cyber Security Czar</a> and talks of Internet 2, censorship on the internet is becoming a reality. I do know that Obama stated that this “will not include monitoring private sector networks or Internet traffic. We will preserve and protect the personal privacy and civil liberties that we cherish as Americans.” However, he may have not been informed of an AT&amp;T whistleblower, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Klein">Mark Klein</a>.</p>
<p>The socioeconomic controls on America would elude to the cycle of our central bank and taxation through income taxes, ssi, and other hidden / choice taxes. This cycle then repeats many times over when the government continues bleeding itself dry to the corporations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been spending the past month doing some digging into an interesting theory that links Catholicism and the Freemasons. While it may not pan out, it is interesting that they both have similar ties in Nimrod. </p>
<p>Other than that, I have done some upgrades to my computer so that I can start doing audio casts on youtube and here. This should be a start of a new era, as I am getting my home setup for a studio to start an indie radio program. </p>
<p>In other news, am I the only one who seems to think that the H1N1 swine/avian/human flu combo was created to only attack a certain ethnic group? Honestly, how do three different flu&#8217;s, from three different animals come together without human intervention? Maybe I&#8217;m wrong, but this looks like a setup to me. </p>
<p>Whatever happened to Obama&#8217;s &#8220;No New Taxes&#8221; promise? Already raised the federal tax on cigarettes and alcohol, what&#8217;s next? Apparently, Small Business taxes are about to rise 4-5%, Higher Energy taxes, and who is supposed to bare the brute of these taxes hikes? The American Tax payers will be left with the bill while the welfare lap up the fruits like the bottom feeders they are.</p>

<p>So because of France, the G-20 has decided to implement global regulators. Interesting concept, however not what our country needs. We do not need to cede over how our country runs to someone from a foreign country to run. However, this is not the case. This is merely a building block for a New One World Government. A New Cesearistic Oligarchy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been over 4 months since I&#8217;ve updated my blog, that is a really bad thing to forget about seeing as how it should be my duty to write and report on current findings. I have just had a lot of personal problems come up, and now that they have been taken care of, I can go back to writing.</p>
<p>Obama has been in the white house for nearly four months now, already breaking several of his campaign promises. No surprise there, right? What happened to his &#8220;No New Taxes&#8221; campaign? Federal tax increase on tobacco and alcohol began April 1st. What happened to his promise of bringing our troops home? His administration has just added an additional 17,000 troops to Afghanistan.</p>
<p>I am still believing that there are very few honest politicians up on capital hill. I am unsure as if I should say honest, as most politicians are not honest people. The true word I am looking for is what our Congress should have always remained; statesmen.</p>
<p>This two party system will never work when a majority of both sides have been bought out by special interests you will get a screwed up government that serves the corporate elite. Our government is supposed to be self servant toward the citizens, not the other way around as it has been going for the past couple of decades.</p>
<p>With this forged &#8220;economic crises&#8221; the bankers and sucked in politicians created they are paving the way for the new one world government. However, until that happens, that will not call it a one world government, they will only use terms such as regulators without borders. It is only a ruse to dumb down the process of mass enslavement. When I was reading about the G-20 summit this past week, it had sparked in me to start reading more about Nazi Germany, the death camps and the Georgia Guidestones.</p>
