If the fed is audited Obama’s New World Order scam ends. Trillions are missing and trillions more are promised to the endless pit.

“A top Treasury official says the Obama administration opposes a proposal to audit the Federal Reserve”

The best reason I’ve heard so far to do it.

The three main jobs of the federal government is:
Deliver the mail on time
Protect our borders
Keep a strong military to defend us.

One out of three is not a good average. My guess is the military would also be a failure if not for defense contractors bribing the weasels.

The Obama administration also opposes releasing his birth certificate. Most transparent administration - ever.

If the Fed is OPENED up for audit, it could be found to be UNAUDITABLE with no adequate existing records for audit.

No one in “the know” will ever approve an audit of the Fed. Because it they do, SHTF. Gig’s up. The markets and banking/credit industry will be exposed for the Ponzi scheme they are and it will all come crashing down. Gonna happen eventually, but who knows when or how.

We can... but the reply had best be in an understandable format, something in one of the following should work: 5.56, 5.7, 9, .38, 10, .45, 410

Sure, if that happens the propagandists will paint it as ‘sedition,’ ‘treason,’ ‘terrorism,’ or ‘extremism.’
