HR 1207 Co-sponsorship Skyrockets: Companion Bill in Senate (audit the fed)

Originally posted by nickoli
When Stevens asked the GAO about what authority Congress has to monitor the Fed, he got back a letter citing an obscure statute that nobody had ever heard of before: the Accounting and Auditing Act of 1950. The relevant section, 31 USC 714(b), dictated that congressional audits of the Federal Reserve may not include "deliberations, decisions and actions on monetary policy matters." The exemption, as Foss notes, "basically includes everything." According to the law, in other words, the Fed simply cannot be audited by Congress. Or by anyone else, for that matter.

That proves that as early as 1950 the government signed away completely its constitutional duty to regulate and control the national currency - thereby abdicating virtually all of its power to the bankers.

The President of the Federal Reserve is installed as Treasury Secretary to maintain an illusion that monetary policy is controlled by the government rather than a profit-motivated private central bank. Not a very convincing illusion when you stop to think about it, but audacious enough to prevent most from doing so.

I have to agree with my esteemed colleague and good friend Jsobecky, but I also know being cynical about such actions only guarantee, it will not work. Saying things like our vote does not count, do it anyway, sending a snail mail letter to your states representative will not be read, Do it anyway. The path to success is persistence be tireless in our efforts because I think we all know the machine is broken and it doesn't matter what party they are anymore what age or what color or what promises for the change we may never believe in, believe in, US.

You, me, us and we,

Believe in US and Believe in US anyway.

For WE ARE the People and I got to tell you, this is one of the most moving threads I have seen. I cannot express how much hope I see when I see so many posting the letters they have sent to their States Representative. For many of you, it is the Masons, the Illuminati, the Trilateral the Bilderbergers the NWO, the Zionists, Democrats, Republicans. Some think it is the coming end of the world but IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE! It does not have to go there and WE can stop it.

I started making posts on Jref forum many years ago and was very involved in 911 truth and all that diatribe of endless arguing and bickering. I was mostly a reader and a HUGE fan of someone named J Howard. I watched the skeptics if the truth movement who went by the phrase "debunker and skeptic" they were seen as the Science Community like you see with many other threads here between Christians and Atheist Democrats and Republicans etc. The tactics were always the same. One day I got a u2u from a very well known clique that was always on jref 24/7 they were ALWAYS there. It was an invitation to join them in what they called an act they would deny if I were not to agree but that it was important for the security of the Country.

Pretty bold statement and I was intrigued.

Weeks went by and I was given a set of instructions from a member that had just started there that very day. The instruction were to sign up as members sometimes using a dozen different names on anonymous proxies where they could get away with them and for me to "Pose as a "twoofer" and start threads using pre-written posts that were utterly ridiculous. They thought I was a skeptic as many did but I had read enough of JHowards posts with him usually having to respond to 10 people at any given time in threads that lasted forever like his metatheory thread.

The Idea was that I should also get ten friends once I got the hang of this and have them do it also. The kind of growth you would see is logarithmic where if I get ten to post and those ten get ten that's a hundred, those ten tell ten that's a thousand, those ten tell ten,, well,, you get the idea, it grows exponentially. You would then record your posts and using an encrypter they had, encrypt the entire report send it to an email address that changed every day and was told to you in a post you would be given to find it. Those who had "Proven themselves" would get compensated "handsomely and more with more results"

The lists they had for web forums, blogs were too many to count but I always saw ATS 2, 3 sometimes 4 from the top of that list down from the top every time. I saw them within a few short months completely destroy any credibility, the 911 truth movement had as many now were associating these people as whacked outrageous tinfoil hat wearing academic wannabe's with silly ideas and claims and theories that by the time I had left Jreff because of it, the truth movement was all over the map everywhere on the internet.

I have seen Republicans acting like Middle of the road democrats like Gov Arnold Swarzennegger of CA., I have seen a very intelligent, articulate, and eloquent speaker named Ronald Reagan whose first term in office made the phrase” You ain't seen nothing yet" mean more to Americans than any song Bachman Turner Overdrive could lyric, it was that much music to our ears. When Iran Contra started, we saw Reagan losing his faculties fast and staying at Camp David for many months on end as if he was Howard Hughes in terminal recluse mode. Many wondered if he had died. I remember Oliver North's face get disgusted when Senator Brooks asked him about a shadow Government that had the powers to suspend the Constitution and something about an agency called FEMA Black Ops or FEMA for short.

I saw Senator Inouye of Hawaii interrupt the grilling of North by Senator Brooks and tell all of them "We don't touch on that" twice he said it. "We don't touch on that".

Back then, I would have never in my wildest dreams thought our Governments elected officials would become so incompetent or so devious and so corrupted by bribes but a bribe isn't a bribe in America, as long as you call it "Lobby". Moreover, the only thing about them that would be Honorable would be the word Honorable before their name on their stationery, letterhead.

I was not Naive either, I grew up watching my father who was the chief investigator for the attorney generals office, investigating the Chicago Daley Political Machine, he drove a drunken LBJ back and fourth to O’Hare airport and had worked with FBI and Secret service on many occasions. He told me things about politics that are too scary to disclose on a public website. From JFK's election to his and MLK's assassination including the woman both were "sought out and presented" to these men by the Illinois State Police themselves.

I really believe Ronald Reagan was unaware at the time he finally admitted arms for hostages were going on. Shortly after he left and could hardly finish a paragraph, you never saw him in public ever again. George Herbert Walker Bush came in with Cheney, Rumsfeld, with Cheney trying very hard to expand the powers of the Oval Office behind the scenes but Congress, the Senate wasn't "owned" yet, Cheney many had said was angry at Bush for not standing up to the Democrats and was still acting the part of the "wimp" as was used in the election as the George Bush's Wimp factor. Clinton came in and I saw another excellent speechmaker and someone that could be kept under control by preoccupying his mind with sexual temptations. What happened next was George Herbert Walker Bush's revenge and the fighting between Al Gore and Clinton and the "broken chads" would be all it took for George Bush Senior was back in power by proxy his son and his son would be given the puppets position he really was too far in over his head to hold but Dick Cheney would take care of the day to day Richter Scale events I believe they knew was going to happen and set it up so it WOULD happen and happen without a hitch. Well almost without a hitch. Something’s didn't go as planned that day on Sep 11 2001 and George W Bush sitting there for 45 mins after just being told America was being attacked and having a video leaked of his delayed apathy was nothing anyone else wouldn't have done when the man whispering that message in your ears says Just sit tight, Dick is handling it, and everything is going as planned.

Yeah that is what it looked like to me.

George Junior was not getting along with his dad and it was obvious but something else was happening to George Junior and happening fast. He was starting to show the same signs his Daddy’s Boss Ronald Reagan did. A once very quick witted sharp and exquisitely eloquent speaker and razor sharp debater was now becoming the "decider" and words like compassion and compassion and compassionate began to top this mans once staggering intellect. As the years went on, Cheney faded out of view, Rummy was a dummy, Condi was coy, and obsequies But George W, his now monosyllabic broken stuttering diatribe was worse than Reagan’s was on his last day. I wonder if we will see much of him anymore.

The democrats were swept in to stop Bush and Cheney and I was very involved with that movement as a Republican but this was an all talk without walking the walk do nothing Rubber boned Democratic House and Senate with a Rubberstamp Republican administration and Americans Bush Fatigue was so far in its advanced stages of Voter rage that it wouldn't have mattered if it was Christ himself running as a Republican was suicide.

The time for "The One”, they had all been waiting for to nail the coffin shut on the American Experiment and a man the antithesis of Bush in age color and Academia with a message Americans were yearning to hear. It was discovered plants in the audiences were paid to scream and cry if they knew how to turn on the tears, while bus loads of people paid to fill a football stadium were brought in to sensationalize him and his message for Hope, and Change, but not just any change, WE NEEDED SOMETHING MORE!

We Needed Change we could BELIEVE IN!

The election was on and the same tactics I saw being used at Jref I saw very similar being done here. I saw many new members calling anyone a racist who was NOT for this new mystery man a rookie senator a product of the Daley Political Machine, who had the Machines typical sordid and sleazy past, a circle of unsavory colleagues and friends, yet NOTHING could stick to him, not even negative campaign ads and no swift boat would capsize the Obama Bahamas Cruise Ship.

He was the total package to some even Colin Powell said he would electrify the world stage. I think Powell gets his ideas these days from his Colin.


Between all the bickering between Obama's supporters and those who were taken by Bush. I beg you please don't keep your head in the ether and those who still believe there are two party system, take your head out of the sand, and last those who still think nothing can be done it's over it's the NWO the Zionists, the end of the world so we might as well say forget it my vote means nothing, or those too cynical to write a letter and too jaded to think we aren’t at the precipice of a dying lady who has been raped and sodomized and ripped and beaten battered and bruised beyond recognition. Her Land of the free has become one FROM the Brave. Her once unalienable Rights Endowed to us by a higher authority have eroded and are now privileges granted by the state, taxed by the state revoked by the state, we have a never ending war on drugs our Government waged when our government is supplier, a never ending war on terror waged when our Government is the terrorist, a war on science a war on religion a war on our equal rights we're no longer a citizen.

I am sickened when I see our elected officials laughing at a dinner function while George Bush makes fun of not finding any weapons of that mass destruction. Does he not know we have sons and daughters that died?

Can you now see that none of them are on our side?

I believe it takes one properly placed bullet to kill an elephant and we may only have one last shot at saving the Lady who lies dying on the table.

We have the defibulators in our hands and one last chance to vote.

We can all vote like never before and make last election of the President look like a cake walk but this time we do the job and we do it complete. We vote ALL of them out, amp up the juice apply to the chest yell loud and yell,,

CLEAR!

And we clear them ALL OUT!

Help Save America Purge

the system clean

Every last one

Of them

OUT!

Excellent advice, my friend. I didn't intend for my cynicism to deter anyone from taking action on this issue. Call your reps, flood the phone lines, urge them to support this bill. And tell them that you will be watching how they vote on this issue.

And if they let you down, make sure you let them know that they have lost your vote the next time they are up for re-election. And remind them at least once a week.

The voice of the common man was instrumental in shooting down the amnesty bill; we can do it again.

Politicians are very sensitive to loud public opinion. Make them account to US!

ehh this could gain traction....for the NWO (if there is a alligned force)......(with the U.S gov't puppets just middle men)...`this could be a win-win in a way

see they no the majority of those in the know in ..USA..are getting pissed off with the bailout nonsense.....it is like a bad movie dragged out over a year or two! Should more politico's turn against each other and really lay into the curruption of the system..(even the sheep will wake up to this).....the american people will cheer....they would practically cheer the destruction of their gov't plutocracy getting dismantled (with the hope of something better being installed)....meanwhile should the USA be taken down as a global power.(with the dismantling of the dollar as world reserve currency per UN announcemnts and Gov't chaos).....the rest of the world may just REJOICE....there is alot of hatred built up against U.S policy's and then the NWO could try and unite the world into a more global structure WILLFULLY.

the 300 million american's may be happy the corrupt gov't is in chaos and weakening (especially should the MSM start feed'n them more of the corruption angle!).. and they will think it will be replaced by something better.....then the rest of the world will breathe a bigger sigh of relief but the fallout from U.S "collapse" will still leave a new global infrastructure in demand....and the NWO could pounce! hmm...... anyone think this has merit?

i mean geez all they would have to do is let a honest congressmen get more air time or some more news putz's spread the word more and more ...they already hollowed out the economy....and are taking golden lifeboats now.....all that is left is to get the people to cheer the collapse of a corrupt empire....(since the USA really is in no position to lead the world economy any more and we make up just a small fraction of the populace...i mean our FIRE economy (finance, insurance , Real estate) made up the lion's share of our country's economy (the asset appreciation and credit growth from these sector's fueled the service sector jobs and spending which was financed aborad as well (ever since the system organized a few years after nixon took us off the gold standard this credit party was booming becoming more and more reckless to the nation with each successive bubble..)..... and that sector (F.I.R.E) fell of a CLIFF (with insolvency there growing but dormant) ...(and manufacturing ain't coming back soon)...i fear this scituation could be logical.

Aermacchi you just typed out a hell of a post (thanks) what do you think about this?


[edit on 24-3-2009 by cpdaman]

I am emailing my reps with similiar messages to yours. This is a very important matter and more people need to know about it. The MSM is certainly not covering it. Come on, no matter anyone's politics no one could possibly argue against transparacy when it comes to the fed bank.
Everyone email your reps, light up their phone lines, call your local talk radio shows, call into the national shows, call your small town newspapers where you live and your local news stations and tell them to cover this!.
Then get in the habit of staying involved with your politics, stay informed, and repeat the above on every issue that is important to you and voice your opinion. Being the American sheeple instead of the American people is what helped get us into this mess after all!

that is dam good news..

Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. - Andrew Jackson

Co sponsors is now up to 44!!

Keep it up people!

Here's a vid!

hhmmmm i dont see obama's name on that list. i thought he was all about transparency?

This post:
www.dailypaul.com...
has some nice PDF's that you can either fax to your rep, or nail to their office door (which is what I'll be doing with them)

Great news indeed, I hadn't caught this yet. Thank you for bringing it into the light. I'm definitely emailing this one out.

reply to post by spec_ops_wannabe


I disagree with that totally, as much as what he appears to be doing is for the NWO, one thing you can't accuse him of is relaxing.

Shame on you...

Just wanted to update that the bill is now up to 49 Co sponsors which is good news.

Hopefully more will sign on!

reply to post by David9176


And now FIFTY FIVE cosponsors.
double nickels!

Just wanted to update that HR 1207 now has 71 co-sponsors

H.R.1207
Title: To amend title 31, United States Code, to reform the manner in which the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System is audited by the Comptroller General of the United States and the manner in which such audits are reported, and for other purposes.

And a reminder on where to read more about the Bill:
HR 1207

It's great isn't it?

I hope more keep signing up...this is a little ray of light in a cave of BS!



I'm glad we have someone out there like RP!

Kudos to those who have co-sponsored as well...democrats and republicans.

Really no reason why they shouldn't though...and anyone who doesn't should be voted out...period.

I suppose sending an e-mail is better then nothing. I'd suggest it is a feel good exercise for the originator. Kind of like, well ! I did my part. My alleged Representative is Diana DeGette
District #1 Denver Co. I visited the locale office twice and called her DC office four times last week. Results ? Zero, however I now KNOW she wants nothing to do with HR1207. I can and will use that against her. I would suggest that instead of offering your humble support of HR1207 to your Rep attempt to actually get them to commit. Pro con or no position. If they take any of the three you have reason and leverage to continue sparing with them. If they completely refuse to engage you ( Like Diana DeGette's staff did with me) well, at least you KNOW they have laid the foundation for future allegiance to something other then their constituency.
