Federal Reserve

[Paul Rigby]

What a stunning story it will be if Congress passes both Kucinich'a and Ron Paul's Bills and annuls the authority it granted to the Fed to be run independent of Congressional oversight.

Will it happen though? Will Obama support the moves or impede them?

Interesting times ahead.

It would be stunning.

Cataclysmic.

Which is why I cannot see this ever happening.

The Congressmen & women will be ushered into a dimly lit, oak panelled, room and shown - in secrecy - some apocalyptic version of the Fed's books.

:deal:

Their special Powerpoint show will be akin to the real torture and abuse photos from Abu Ghraib and other "prisons". The type of information so darkly potent that it destroys the moral authority of governments. Of the powerful.

:eviltongue:

Combine this with the blackmail files They hold on Congressmen & women - "rembember Spitzer, mutherfooker" - and the idea of publicly auditing the Fed won't seem like such a good idea to Congress...

Time, one suspects, to dust off that late nineteenth century staple of state terrorism, the unhinged incendiarist (aka the Anarchist). Surely there must be at least one of these splendid, all-purpose patsies lying around the Langley refrigerators? If not, the American tax-payer should start asking questions.
