Rep. Ron Paul Makes Special Request Of Wikileaks on Fox’s Freedom Watch
Mediaite ^ | 12/04/2010 | Frances Martel

Posted on 12/05/2010 7:29:20 AM PST by speciallybland

Republican Congressman Ron Paul may be Julian Assange’s most loyal supporter in Congress. Visiting Fox Business’ Freedom Watch– a program on which Assange has been welcome several times– Rep. Paul went to bat for the Wikileaker in the middle of condemning the secrecy of the Federal Reserve, and made a little request of his own: “every conversation of the last ten years with the Federal Reserve people.” Chop, chop, Assange!

Rep. Paul, who is also a regular guest on the program, chatted for some time with the injustices of having a “secret government” like the Federal Reserve with Judge Andrew Napolitano, calling the agency “as unconstitutional as it gets” and its practices “immoral,” “wrong,” “bad economics,” and “built on counterfeit money.” In light of the recent diplomatic cables, however, Rep. Paul seems to have found hope that there is a concrete way to take the Fed down:

“What we need is more Wikileaks on the Federal Reserve. Can you imagine what it would be like if we have every conversation of the last 10 years with the Federal Reserve people and the Federal Reserve chairman, with all the other central bankers of the world, and every agreement and quid pro quo that they have? I mean, it would be massive. The people would be so outraged.”

One of my concerns about asking Assange to get involved with this Federal Reserve issue is that it won’t be to the ends people think.

IF I were Soros, and IF Assange were my puppet, I would definitely have him release damning documents on the Fed, but only after having other chess pieces in place. For example, have it coincide with a call for a world currency to replace the dollar. Have it happen during a time when there is an administration who could be manipulated into agreeing with this. And, have it happen when there already is an economic crash so people will do anything for financial security.

Then, to the initial cheers of Ron Paul, Assange releases the Fed documents, but instead of having it fix our system, the world’s confidence in the Dollar crashes, and with it, domino crashing all economies that hedge on the dollar. There is a worldwide call for a world backed currency (as we’ve seen calls for already from the UN). The administration, to save the US economy, agrees and we all join a World Union currency, giving up our economic sovereignty to the UN.

That seems a lot more of a realistic scenario than the Paul fans imagine of us returning to the Gold Standard based on Austrian Economic theory.

If we bailed out the foreign and domestic banks with our money than WE THE PEOPLE OWN THOSE BANKS AND THEIR HOLDINGS!

Paul is against AZ SB1070 despite his claims of being a States Rights advocate.

Paul is also against punishing Rangle for tax and campaign fund fraud.

Paul is a Democrat that runs in the GOP because of his location.

He should let the bankers alone. Let the Fed do what it wants with it’s money. It’s none of our business.

I disagree.

He avoided the Fed issue when we had a total lock on all branches.

It’s no different than his decades long DADT position. He flipped when it came time to vote.

He merely uses public sentiment to gain press.

That has been Paul’s MO for as long as he’s been around. That being said, he can be a useful idiot once in a while and I like the way he hounds the Fed.

In addition to opposing the right of the State of AZ and it’s SB1070 law, he opposes Sheriff Joe and a border fence.

“The Fed doesn’t use money from taxpayers.”

Really?

Where does it come from?

Criminey! This is an example of why our country is in debt up to it’s eyeballs. Where do you think the Fed gets its money?

Do you think if the Fed creates money to bail out bankers that it will have no repercussions on you? Do you think creating 3 TRILLION out of thin air by printing money is ok?

Truly

Central banks can create money out of thin air. No taxpayer involvement needed.

You’re right, it’s from taxpaying SAVERS and CONSUMERS.

If the money supply doubles (a Fed job), prices go up... ala Friedman’s report that all inflation is a monetary phenomena (2 year M2 = inflation 2 years out).

Or, did I get it wrong, is the Fed dealing in some other currency like the Euros or is it the Zimbawbe Dollar? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zimbabwean_dollar for a possible description of what the purchasing power of the taxpayers (economic players) might look like when the central monetary authority explodes the money supply.

Is this sarcasm or are you this ignorant?

You don’t think there is any repurcussion from the Fed creating money?

Ignorant? You're the one who claimed the Fed used taxpayer dollars.

When you find where I claimed that, be sure to let me know. LOL!

The Fed doesn't use their money either.

The Fed tripled their balance sheet, did prices triple yet?

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy, if you’re getting your economic info from Jon Stewart, you may be too stupid to understand economics.
