“Scenes are now to take place as will open the eyes of credulity and of insanity itself, to the dangers of a paper medium abandoned to the discretion of avarice and of swindlers.” -Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814

Upset about the financial crisis and how it could negatively affect your life? Think it won’t effect your life?  Try reading my last article “Bank and Credit Union 2008 Body Count at 32“.  Well, speaking for myself, I’ve already harassed my Congress representatives to no avail, so I suppose it is time to show up at the FED itself.

Visit here to sign up, join, and find out when and where to meet up.

The site specifies that END THE FED! participants must agree to the following principles:

  • Peaceful, Non-Violent Rally to Support Sound Money
  • Cooperation and respect for local laws and authorities
  • No harassment of Fed employees
  • No blocking of pedestrian or vehicular traffic

“The trifling economy of paper, as a cheaper medium, or its convenience for transmission, weighs nothing in opposition to the advantages of the precious metals… it is liable to be abused, has been, is, and forever will be abused, in every country in which it is permitted.” – Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes, 1813

For any who are unaware, although the Federal Reserve was  created by Congress and President Wilson via the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, the Federal Reserve’s use of paper currencies unbacked by gold and silver is unconstitutional, although this decision has been made many times by the contemporary executive and legislative branches, especially in times of war.

There is debate about whether Congress has the right to transfer its power over monetary policy to the FED, especially since there is very little oversight over Ben Bernanke’s crew; the FED has never been audited by Congress.  This month Bloomberg filed a lawsuit against the FED demanding that they disclose the recent bailout recipients.  The House Republican leader has demanded the same.  As of today, the FED has refused to comply.

Per the Constitution, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 5, states that only Congress shall have the power “to coin Money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.”

Article 1, Section 10,  Clause 1, prohibits the following: “No State shall coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debt.”

Both of the above have never been amended in any way, and the Constitution is the highest law in the land, NOT the Federal Reserve Act.

Why November 22?  From “Secrets of the Federal Reserve” by Eustace Mullins:

“On the night of November 22, 1910, a group of newspaper reporters stood disconsolately in the railway station at Hoboken, New Jersey. They had just watched a delegation of the nation’s leading financiers leave the station on a secret mission. It would be years before they discovered what that mission was, and even then they would not understand that the history of the United States underwent a drastic change after that night in Hoboken. The delegation had left in a sealed railway car, with blinds drawn, for an undisclosed destination.”  They were led by Senator Nelson Aldrich, the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and leaders from JP Morgan’s and Rockefeller’s banking families.

I am planning to visit to the USA (I reside in Asia) and attend the Chicago demonstration, assuming I can convince my hosts that it will be a good time.

For Honest Money and the Republic!

    Funny, Jake.
    Considered comedy as a vocation?
    OK, we end the Fed.
    Then what–a private central bank? Well, no, as a lot of you think the Fed is a private bank.
    So no cnetral bank?
    Well, no–history is against you, to get Marxist for a bit.
    That wonderful Thomas Jefferson got rid of the Hamitonian inspired private central bank, the First U S Bank.
    And then, waddya know–who’d a thought it- his own James Madison puts it back as a government cnetral bank, Second U S Bank in 1816–less than thirty years after the Constitution was made the new law of the land, by its Father.
    So protest, predict and prognosticate–the Fed or whatever central bank, will be with us, and with your great, great, great grandchildren.
    In a word, you are spitting into the wind–it only makes you all wet.

    RBurnett -

    Yeah, I happen to agree with the slogan, but if you read the fine print its also a rally for sound money. I dont think they were able to think of a cute jingle that would get people out of bed about sound money (I haven’t either, its a tough one)

    So what if history is against me/us? You think the colonists thought they would win against the big, bad British empire?

    As far as the alternatives, that’s an upcoming article, there are plenty of them. Plus you know the USA has been able to exist WITHOUT central banks, right?

    Freedom takes time. How many Americans do you think actually understand more or less how the FED works? How many are as well educated as you? (That’s a compliment, no irony, based on past exchanges) Will the demonstration practically achieve nothing? Yes, you are correct. But it might get a few more to question the FED, and that’s good enough for me.

    Spit into the wind? You could also write to just piss into the wind, that’s more dramatic. So if a government takes away your privilege to free speech, bear arms, free religion, to trial by jury, to sound money, you wouldn’t also spit into the wind?

    Perhaps you should stay in bed on Saturday!
    Jake

    Insofar as the Fed is intimately tied to the dollar, I just realized this morning that Ben Bernanke will probably be the leading member of the “End the Fed” program.

    I’ll be near Richmond on the 22nd and might swing by just to see who’s there. My own personal plan, however, is to simply ignore the Fed to death. I’ve moved most of my meager assets out of US Dollars and am continually developing my barter network. The big advantage of this plan is that I don’t need to get the permission of the masses.

    Of course, if the masses did help get rid of two laws, large financial institutions could also barter for gold without being threatened with monopoly laws.
