Range of acceptable opinion small

Abstract:
Every time Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke is called to testify in a hearing before the Joint Economic Committee in Congress, he hears essentially the same line of questioning from Rep. Ron Paul. Paul asks him such things as, if the economic problem the Fed is trying to fix is high inflation, and the Fed's proposed solution is adding to the money supply (read: more inflation), how that could ever fix the problem....

The acceptable opinion range changes from administration to administration. It is a moving target. It was acceptable to talk about the president getting fellatio from an intern just 8 years ago and impeaching him over it. Now, impeachment for war crimes of the current president is outside of acceptable opinion. Weird huh. Ron Paul is the only guy in Congress (and as a pres. candidate) that gets "it" and has American's best interests at heart. Now the media kisses his ass for ratings when they ignored him during the primaries.

Great work Matt!

UG community should be very proud of its product.
One thing for sure; the Federal Reserve DOES NOT serves the interest of the American People but the bankers and the elites. According to US Constitution, it is an "illegal institution" and should be abolish!

Mr. Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, Federal Reserve is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives. How it was founded and operates...

Here's an informative video of "Money, Banking and the Federal Reserve."

Sir, you are so correct of your analisis of the situation. I just wish there was a way to spread this information around to the general population, and allow them understand this. Main Stream Media is corporately owned by the elitists, and if the truth be known they are probable the ones that own part of the Federal Reserve as well. They don't want this information to get to the general population so getting this info to the general population by way of the mass media is off the table so to speak.We who know this info need to find another venue to inform the general population of this and make sure that the general population understands that the Federal Reserve is actually undermining the dollar and the Economy of the United States as well.

Bernie Sanders and Ron Paul are known as Bernanke and Greenspan's greatest nemeses.

Were it not for people such as Dr. Paul and people with his same intellectual attitudes fighting for our interests in the congress, there would be nothing to stop the FED & other such unsavory, non-governmental groups from completely assuming control of the US of A. Lets start with the UN, whose charter is diametrically opposed to the constitution of the United States. We are the last, first world country left, keeping the UN, CFR, NAU, along with NAFTA and others from capturing the sovereignty of the greatest country in the world.

This may be the last presidential election 'WE THE PEOPLE' will be involved in, as we know it. And Sheeple, don't think for a minute it isn't coming, and there are but a fairly small % of American Patriots who stand ready to deal with the forthcoming situtation!

Hi Matt,

That was an excellent article. It is really great to see the young people waking up to the TRUTH!!

We have been sleeping for more years then you have been on earth and because of Dr. Paul we have finally AWAKENED.

Somebody mentioned that maybe the LSM (Lame Stream Media) may be owners of the F----n Reserve. No, they are NOT direct owners but may have stock in the following banking establishments of which are the owners.

The 10 Primary Stockholders in the Federal Reserve System are:

1. The Rothschilds - London

2. The Rothschilds - Berlin

3. The Lazard Brothers - Paris

4. Israel Seiff - Italy

5. Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany

6. The Warburgs - Amsterdam

7. The Warburgs - Hamburg

8. Lehman Brothers - New York (Hmm, we heard they are having Financial problems. How can this be if they are 1 of the owners of the F. Reserve?)

9. Goldman & Sachs - New York

10. The Rockefellers - New York


We checked the FEC reports and found that McCain, Clinton and Obama received Donations from at least 2 of those companies and people above.

We checked and our candidate, the Honorable Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul, did NOT receive Donations from them.

Dr. Paul's Top 3 Donations came from:

1. Members of the U.S. Army
2. Members of the U.S. Navy
3. Members of the U.S. Air Force

Hmmm, corporations that send Lobbyists to Washington support those 3 CFR Members but OUR MILITARY supports Dr. Ron Paul.

As for Dr. Paul his Delegates are working on getting him nominated but you can help by sending the Letter To GOP to the RNC. I contacted the owner of the website below and not only do they give us permission to copy and mail the letter to the RNC they encourage us to do so.

I think it's a great thing for Dr. Paul to continue to grill Bernenke on the problems that the FED creates. To continue the fight against inflation, the power of the fed, and the corruption within our own government and the fed.
Ron Paul knows the problems and the solutions. It was stated that Ron Paul set forth the same line of questioning. I see this as something that needs to be done. Considering that the same problems keep arrising. It allows the American people the insight to see the legitimate responsibilties of congress. And they, the Americans, should ask their own congressmen, why they haven't addressed these issues with fellow congressmen and the Federal Reserves.
I have stated repeatedly, that Ron Paul has more backbone in bills that he has authored, than most congressmen have in their bodies.

Matt, you raise a great point. I think that part of the reason is that most people are embarrassed or in denial about their lack of knowledge, as well as being sucked in by the media to a false choice between two parties that are almost identical. So their defensiveness helps to outlaw serious discussion. It ends up being like a super bowl party, where they root for a team because they like one uniform better than the other, or because of a charasmatic player. Ron Paul is just looking better and better with each paaing week.

I first went to college in the 1980's and was disappointed to discover that few of the other college age students were capable of any independent thought beyond parroting the bland socialist cliches they heard from their professors. Circumstances took me back to school 20 years latter at which time I discovered something interesting. The professors are still spouting bland socialist cliches, but the kids are starting to think on their own again. I don't know if this is the result of a turn-around in our educational system, or merely a reaction against it, but it is very encouraging. Keep up the good work young man; don't let them beat you into a mold.
