As for the profits of the Fed, those go to the Treasury. My biggest knock on 'Paultards' has long been that they completely ignore that side of the equation. Which is odd, considering the Goldman Sachs connection to two of the more recent heads - most notably Hank Paulson and Tim Geitner.

these links, as all official links are, are also akin to little red riding hood tales.

The profits really come from insider banks (which own the fed). I'm sure they skim a ton through the fed system as well, but the insider elites have other ways of turning massive profits from sitting in certain chairs in certain "federal" buildings. Imagine you're a mafia boss, and you own all the judges and cops that are supposed to prosecute you. That's the exact thing that's going on in the international banking system.
To suggest this system is not utterly corrupt, and needs a complete audit (yes, I'm an ex Paultard), is disingenuous, at best.

You've seen the Brazilian Justice system at work, ain't ya?

I was actually being facetious. I'm sure most people understand that the "justice system" in every country I can think of, is in some way, an extension of organised crime.
Banking is even worse, because it's so opaque. The criminals that steal our money, are the same guys that create the legal framework in which they operate, and then prosecute themselves.
Hardened career criminals in suits. Though I guess that's incorrect, as they've made theft legal. Ask Jon Corzine.

Sometimes you seem so fucking intelligent

Having trouble logging on there. Have been trying.

For this reason, it shall remain open to guests! Any issues, just let me know!

And you, my friend, are always welcome - just don't post cock pics there! I've had enough to last me a life time.

Awww Hell!

I was saving a gallery of cock selfies for you. Even though they are stills you can almost see the huge fearsome throbbing!

Unlike lop, your expressions of manlyness will not be censored here.

The Federal Reserve can influence the economy.

The Federal Reserve technically answers to Congress, but in practice answers to no one. Remember when Congress wanted to see their books after the financial meltdown?

Given human nature, the secrecy, and the tremendous power to influence the economy...I think it would be very naive to suggest that it wasn't a way of lining the pockets of the usual suspects.

Any time you have power and lack of accountability you get conspiracies. It's what people do. It's our own fault for not shining a light on it.
