A bipartisan bill requiring broader operational audits of the U.S. Federal Reserve (http://www.federalreserve.gov/) passed the House on Wednesday by a broad bipartisan margin.
The bill passed 327 to 98; all but one Republican and 89 Democrats voted yes. The bill will be considered under the suspension of normal House rules, meaning it required at least a two-thirds majority to pass.
The measure would permit government auditors to conduct deeper audits of the Fed’s monetary policy operations. Despite opposition from some Democrats and the Federal Reserve, the bill has at least 274 cosponsors (http://paul.house.gov/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1847&Itemid=77), including more than three dozen Democrats facing difficult reelection campaigns.
Wednesday’s vote was a coup for its chief sponsor, Rep. Ron Paul (R-Tex.) (http://www.washingtonpost.com/ron-paul-2012-presidential-candidate/gIQAnIp4cO_topic.html?tid=rr_mod_candidate), a longtime nemesis of the Fed, which he has called “an enormously destructive and unaccountable force in both the U.S. economy and the greater global economy.”

Not sure if they will kill it in the Senate, or just gut it and pass it and call it a success.

Let's not forget the FED charter is up in 2013 anyways.

This could easily all be engineered to LOOK like good things are happening, but it could all very well be part of the design.

This is not legislation that Obama would sign anyway so it's all dog and pony as far as I'm concerned. Effin wall street prostitutes.

I've addressed this before, the FED's charter is not up.

12 U.S.C. § 341 : US Code – Section 341: General enumeration of powers shows:

“Second. To have succession after February 25, 1927, until dissolved by Act of Congress or until forfeiture of franchise for violation of law.“

In other words, Congress would have to pass a law abolishing the Federal Reserve System in order to get rid of it, Or a DOJ that has a massive set of balls to start prosecuting them for crimes..

Either one isn't going to happen in this political climate.

Perpetuities do not exist in law unless one is a charitable trust (like the U.S. constitution). Entities only last for 99 years.

You know that, and I know that. But according to the corporation that is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA it is "law".

They routinely violate law, even their own whenever it suits them.

By and large, and if you discount the fact that government employees can lie to your face to gain your consent, the government acts very responsibly. They don't explain their actions but you should be able to interpret what is going on. For instance, when the house decides to read the constitution on the floor of congress, you might believe it is a patriotic gesture but it mainly serves to acquaint each citizen with the details of government and stands as notice. This reading is done periodically (every 20 years or so?).


They routinely violate law, even their own whenever it suits them. The common law maxim they use is NECESSITY IMPORTS PRIVILEGE. Everything they do is NECESSARY. If you truly understood what this maxim means as soon as you hear this word you would go into survival mode because they are telling you they can kill you with impunity. As you always have a duty to defend yourself that means you can do the same to them. If you don't want the action to escalate to this level best just figure out what they want and comply.

Understand they are not violating any law when they do this. They are telling you up front but most people just don't comprehend and think an argument can be won.

"Audit the Fed"??

Wow... that's gonna help.

Who's going to be doing the auditing? Congress? LO fucking L.

Might as well have the 9/11 commission do it... the result would be the same.

The GAO would do it, FWIW.


The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent, nonpartisan agency that works for Congress. Often called the "congressional watchdog," GAO investigates how the federal government spends taxpayer dollars. The head of GAO, the Comptroller General of the United States, is appointed to a 15-year term by the President from a slate of candidates Congress proposes. Gene L. Dodaro became the eighth Comptroller General of the United States and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) on December 22, 2010, when he was confirmed by the United States Senate. He was nominated by President Obama in September of 2010 and had been serving as Acting Comptroller General since March of 2008.


What in the FUCK they have been doing since the inception of the GAO is beyond me.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Fed Data Shows Foreign Banks Huge Beneficiaries of Emergency Lending Programs, Hedge Funds, McDonald’s, Harley-Davidson and Others Also Bailed Out

Bails Out Gaddafi’s Libyan Bank, Arab Banking Corp. of Bahrain, Banks of Bavaria, Korea and Mexico … But Shafts America


http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2011/10/the-fed-bails-out-gaddafis-libyan-bank-arab-banking-corp-of-bahrain-banks-of-bavaria-korea-and-mexico-but-shafts-america.html


The conflicts of interest and policy controversies in the Federal Reserve’s bailout of the financial system now include helping out millionaires, billionaires, foreign automakers, and companies whose executives sit on the board of directors of the U.S. central bank.
The Federal Reserve also bought more than $2.2 billion in commercial paper from the state-owned central bank of Bavaria, and it gave more than $23 billion in loans to the Arab Banking Corp. based in Bahrain, with an interest rate as low as a quarter of a percentage point. The Federal Reserve also lent more than $9.6 billion to the Central Bank of Mexico.
***
Banks worldwide tapped into the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending programs more than 4,200 times for a total of $3.8 trillion, estimates show.
Senator Sanders’ staff found that “several billionaires and tens of multi-millionaires received cheap loans from the Fed to invest in securities backed by auto, mortgage, credit card, student and mortgage loans,” Sanders’ letter says. That Fed program is called the Term Asset-backed Securities Loan Facility.
The rich include Christy Mack, the wife of Morgan Stanley’s John Mack, billionaire businessman H. Wayne Huizenga; and Michael Dell, co-founder of Dell Computer, hedge fund manager John Paulson and private equity honcho J. Christopher Flowers.
***
[Senator Sanders] also says that it appears the Fed provided loans to over 100 separate hedge funds, offshore funds, and other investment funds located in the Cayman Islands and other tax havens via the TALF program alone.
***
Sanders also wants to know why the Federal Reserve bailed out the Korea Development Bank, the state-owned bank of South Korea, by purchasing more than $2.2 billion of its commercial paper, and why it also extended more than $40 billion to the central bank in South Korea.
