With many Americans slowly waking up to the reality that our government and banking system are entirely under the control of a criminal elite of private bankster crooks, Ron Paul has once again taken it upon himself to push for an audit of the Federal Reserve, the outcome of which would likely be so incomprehensibly shocking that the Fed may finally be forced to shut down for the greater good of our country and its citizens.

The Federal Reserve was originally created under the guise of being an “impartial” entity separate from the government that could be called upon to stabilize our economy in times of panic, while protecting and maintaining free market principles.  The sick twisted irony is that the Fed is the precise antithesis of what free markets are really about.  And since the Fed’s inception, it has done nothing but DESTABILIZE our economy with increased volatility by manipulating interest rates, along with leverage ratios used by the banks (in cahoots with those who control the Fed and the SEC).

It still boggles my mind that the SEC implemented the “Pattern Day Trader” rule to “protect the little guy” by forcing more active traders and investors to maintain at least $25,000 in a trading account or face severe trading restrictions.  I guess the SEC also forgot that they came into power largely because a big part of the 1929 crash was caused by the extension of 10:1 credit to investors (which couldn’t have happened without the Fed’s easy money policies).  So to make amends, the SEC goes on to serve and protect “the little guy” some more by allowing ONLY the largest (and most politically-connected) “too big to fail” investment banks pump up their balance sheets with over 40:1 leverage.
