To DavidPhila:
If it's "independant within the government" then why did the courts say they are NOT part of the government and DO NOT HAVE TO TELL US WHAT THEY DID WITH THE MONEY THEY STOLE FROM US? HMMM? Why did Bernanke say they don't have to tell us where the money is??? The Fed has stockholders and they are a "For Profit" corporation. Wake up. Actually I don't think you need to wake up...I think you're paid for putting out rubbish on the blogs and trying stop the mass awakening that is occurring in regard to this criminal cartel. I don't think anybody is as stupid as you pretend to be.

This should of been done 80 years ago. About time someone in CONGRESS recognizes the destructive policies and who really runs the Federal Reserve... the Greed and Power Tyrants of the banking industry.

The problem is the corrupt socialists and chromed communists in Congress that are bought and paid for by the Banksters.

Time to end the PONZI scheme and theft of Americans.

Zeitgeist Addendum is another socialist manifesto - please do not encourage people to watch this bad film. Just to give others an idea about the movie: money is bad, get rid of it, pay with something else like "productivity"... or some nonsense like that.
Baloney.
People should learn about economics, the laws of supply and demand, the Federal Reserve and fractional reserve banking and why fractional banking is a fraud and how the process of fractional reserve banking creates money out of thin air. Zeitgeist Addendum will only confuse you and is absolutely wrong.

Pick up some books and read!!!! Start with The Creature from Jekyll Island, WEb of Debt, Meltdown.... and others that explain what is going on with the FED. Just about EVERYTHING you wrote is incorrect!

The way money is created in our present system IS bad.This whole concept of interest on money created out of thin air is crazy!No wonder these bankers are so rich. I saw Zeitgeist and it seemed like a great way to live, however impractical and impossible. But then I was reading "Web of Debt" and the American Colonists created money out of nothing too and it worked fine. Money is not the problem, it is the artificial scarcity of money that bankers create when they charge interest that is the problem. W should abolish bankers!

Abolishing the fed and eliminating the income tax are the first steps on the path to starving the progressives out of existence.

No, you just need to read up on Fractional Reserve Banking to understand. For anyone that wants to see Zeitgeist, be prepared to have a lot of what you believe in attacked. This is above and beyond the correct information that it presents on banking and money creation under our current system. The rest of Zeitgeist is up to you as far as your beliefs. Just be prepared for it. It has a social agenda all its own.

Hi everyone. I am 36 years old and wonder why did't they do anything before. I just recently woke up. my eyes have been closed for 7 years. After being introduced to Alex Jones and watchimg EndGames and Obama Deception, I can't believe anything my government says because we the People do not run the government. The Bilderberg Do! As I learn everyday, I work real hard to help Abolish the Fed Support HR 833.

It's not about Republican or Democrat anymore.

Both parties have failed.


I grew up a republican until I woke up and realized that I embraced some of the same values, but not all of any single party.

I believe in the constitution as it was written without further amendments, small Federal government with minimal power over the people, and freedom.

Its interesting to me that the very people we are bailing out, basically own the federal reserve!!! The other day i was talking to an co worker and i was telling him how america owes most of its debt to the fed who is owned privately, and he would not belive me. Its sad that we issue value to paper when true value is found in food and water, and physical protection of those things. I know who im supporting, because the more i listen to this guy, the more his values are in line with mine.

06-04-63 a virtually unknown Presidential decree E.O. 11110 was signed with the authority to basically strip the F. R. Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest With the stroke of a pen President Kennedy declared that the privately owned F.R. Bank would soon be out of business We can now safely conclude that this E.O. has never been repealed amended or superceded by any subsequent E.O. In simple terms it is still valid When Kennedy was assassinated It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America In a comment made to a Columbia University class on 11-12-63 Ten days before his assassination President Kennedy allegedly said The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the Americans freedom and before I leave office I must inform the citizen of this plight

You lost me, Kenny. What does Ron Paul have to to with zeitgeist, and why would you never want to support him? Perhaps they were two different comments (I agree about zeitgeist, btw, but don't see why it's in the same breath as supporting Ron Paul).

Ron Paul is a pure Constitutionalist and he wants to return us to the basics of the Constititution as it was written by our founders. I don't agree 100% with every stance he takes but why would you not want to support someone who seeks to restore the power, and respect, of the Constitution?

The whole point of this freedom experiment was to leave the power with the people, to allow them free enterprise to foster ingenuity, compassion, charity, and prosperity. It's clear that the more we abandon the Constitution, the more we lose hope in those tenants of life lived freely.

I am in total support of this bill, i just dont ever want to support ron paul. The zeitgeist film is one of the most bogus, poorly researched film that doesnt even have its paganism right.

David

You are sadly misinformed. It public knowledge and well documented and evidenced by anyone who really cares about their personal responsibilty to be aware, that The Federal reserve is not Federal, it is Not a bank and There are NO reserves. Read, study and know that it is private institution owned by a small group of bankers who make we the people, responsible for their greed and responsible to pay back and stand behind their private loans to people who can not afford to repay them and we the people have given these private individuals the power to create paper money in limitless quanities (this is called inflation). Look it up.

Blessings!
Andy

The FED is the biggest scam in history but it is only the door down the rabbit hole. The fed is the means by which the elite steal our money and it is 100% facism. People need to wake the he*l up and realize that this whole recession and soon to be depression is manufactured. This is the best and most important bill to come out in the last 96 years and we must all contact our reps and make them pass this. If we don't, the US and the world for that matter will never be the same.

Watch the Obama Deception. It explains everything about the Federal Reserve and all the people connected to its corruption. We not only need this corporation out of this country, we need to confiscate back all the money they STOLE. That should fix the deficit and then some. CROOKS!

I am so thankful that someone in Congress recognizes that the Federal Reserve is a detriment to our nation. I salute Ron Paul for taking the lead on this issue. We must get rid of the Fed and the system of debt that they are running in this country. It's time to move the power out of the hands of a few powerful unelected officials and back into the hands of the people.

No not without trying ever concieveable trick and political lie and deception. It was planned to be this way and will continue unless we, the people keep telling our senators and represenatives that they are out the door unless they pass this bill!

HR 833

So far, the ghestapo are not outside our doors, but unless we stop it they may not be far behind. No that is not a conspiricy theory, it is merely a statement of history. YOU have to DO something and quit just sitting there and being afraid of it!

Here's why now.

The Federal Reserve System once published a paperback textbook entitled "The Federal Reserve System, Proposes and Functions" (which can be found here http://www.federalreserve.gov/pf/pf.htm), was used as a college text book.

This booklet explains the functions of the Federal Reserve: "Ann efficient monetary mechanism is indispensible to...the nation...The function of the Federal Reserve is to foster a flow of money and credit that will facilitate orderly economic growth, a stable dollar, and long-run balance in our international payments."

As Ralph Epperson stated: "It is a fair question to ask the Federal Reserve System, if the Americans haven't had an "orderly economic growth, a stable dollar and a long-run balance in our international payments" which has been America's history since the creation of the System, WHY IS IT ALLOWED TO CONTINUE?"

The Fed is NOT part of the US government. It is not even contracted. We the people have no more athority over it than you do over your car dealer except to not buy from him anymore when he cheats you. Yes, the bill returns athority to the US Treasury!

Do you seriously believe that a private bank such as the FED would voluntarily hand themselves over to governmental regulation and control? You need to wake up friend. Do a little research on the history of the FED. You will scare the crap out of yourself.

Does anyone really want the Obama administration to 'manage the fiscal and financial engine of the United States?

Folks, it sounds nice to abolish this and that with one swift bit of legislation (at least Mr. Paul's bill is less than 10 pages).

However we must always be very careful of what we wish for-- It may come true.

What happens after the Fed is abolished? Seems to me far better to deal with enemies we know.

By the way the people are in charge. Think not, try the ballot box; and post cards, not email, with handwritten notes, one at a time.
