This deal is different,this was direct action thru the fed,the treasury had nothing to do with this transaction. Actually this type of action was exactly one of the reasons why the fed was supposedly created to prevent bank runs.edit on 12/1/10 by nickoli because: (no reason given)

I've seen the jykell island stuff and thats all well fine and good but the federal reserve system of 1913 is not the same entity that exists today,changes have been made.
Now dont get me wrong I'm no fed supporter actually quite the opposite but for once I'd like facts and clarity not obfuscation and myths.

Two great videos. Thanks for sharing, Z. While I had the basics down, I have to say that the 'Money as Debt' video was very informing and easy to understand.

The treasury will recieve the profits from the interest paid and this is what funds your government,when they spend more than they bring in is what creates our deficit.
The U.S. Government receives all of the system's annual profits, after a statutory dividend of 6% on member banks' capital investment is paid, and an account surplus is maintained. The Federal Reserve transferred a record amount of $45 billion to the U.S. Treasury in 2009.[12]

Again,prove this from wikipedia otherwise?

Now the 6% goes to privately owned banks but the rest goes to the treasury,and if I'm reading it right the private banks only recieve 6% on what they invest.

Oh I'm not wanting to "fight" I just want some irrefutable proof,I never said my source was irrefutable I'm just wanting to get to the cold hard facts. As Americans we all need to know,no, not need, we should DEMAND to know exactly where ALL the profits of the fed go. Trust me I'm on the side of Jackson,I think they're vipers and thieves but I just need more,"facts" to build my case. Myths and conjecture just dont cut it.
My goodness,if the fed is privately owned why in hades is it so hard to prove?edit on 12/1/10 by nickoli because: (no reason given)

Not entirely correct.
It is backed by the full faith and credit of the US Government.
Every national banking association within each Federal reserve district shall be required to subscribe to the capital stock of the Federal reserve bank for that district in a sum equal to six per centum of the paid-up capital stock and surplus of such bank, one-sixth of the subscription to be payable on call of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, one-sixth within three months and one-sixth within six months thereafter, and the remainder of the subscription, or any part thereof, shall be subject to call when deemed necessary by the Board, said payments to be in gold or gold certificates.
