Ron Paul - Forget the Russians: It’s the Federal Reserve Seeking to Meddle in Our Elections
IMAGE CREDITS: CAROLINE BREHMAN/CQ ROLL CALL.

The US Constitution never granted the federal government authority to create a central bank. The Founders, having lived through hyperinflation themselves, understood that government should never have a printing press at its disposal. But from the very beginning of America’s founding, the desire for a crony central bank was strong.

In fact, two attempts were made at creating a permanent central bank in America prior to the creation of the Fed. Fortunately, the charter for The First Bank was allowed to expire in 1811, and President Andrew Jackson closed down the Second Bank in 1833.

But, unfortunately, a third attempt was successful and the Federal Reserve was unconstitutionally created by Congress in 1913. Americans have been living under a corrupt and immoral monetary system ever since. The Federal Reserve is the printing press that has financed the creation of the largest government to ever exist. Endless welfare and endless military spending are both made possible by the Federal Reserve. The Fed can just print the money for whatever the US establishment wants, so those of us who long for a Constitutional and limited government have few tools at our disposal.

Despite all the propaganda claiming “independence,” the Fed has always been a deeply political institution. Because the Fed is a government-created monopoly with key government-appointed employees, its so-called “independence” is a mere fiction. However, the US Congress created the Fed with legislation; it can also abolish the Fed with legislation.

Last week, the facade of Federal Reserve “independence” was dealt a severe blow. Ironically, the person who broadcast to the world that the Fed is anything but “independent” was ex-New York Fed President Bill Dudley. Dudley wrote that, “Trump’s re-election arguably presents a threat to the United States’ and global economy, and if the goal of monetary policy is to achieve the best long-term economic outcome, the Fed’s officials should consider how their decisions would affect the political outcome of 2020.”

The timing of Dudley’s threats to use Fed monetary policy to affect the outcome of a US election couldn’t come at a more striking time. After all, for more than two solid years Americans have been bombarded with fabricated stories about Russians rigging our elections. And yet here is a Federal Reserve official threatening to do the same exact thing – but this time for real!

Whether it’s the mainstream media, the CIA, the FBI, or now the Federal Reserve, more and more Americans are waking up to the fact that there is a Deep State in America and its interests have nothing to do with American liberty. In fact, our liberty is what the Deep State wants to abolish.

When it comes to the Federal Reserve, I stand firmly by my conviction that it needs to be audited and then ended as soon as possible.

America’s Founders were not perfect. They were human beings just as capable of error as we are. But they had a remarkable understanding of the ideas of liberty. They understood that liberty cannot exist with a government that has access to a printing press. Sound money and liberty go hand-in-hand. If we want to enjoy the blessings of Liberty, we must audit and then end the Federal Reserve!

Petition: RESTORE THE FIFTH AMENDMENT

One reason the Founders crafted the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was to stop government from depriving citizens of their life, liberty, or property without due process of law. 

In fact, when discussing these rights in 1772, Samuel Adams wrote, "Now what liberty can there be where property is taken away without consent?" 


But today, government policing for profit operations are set to ramp up around the country. 

I'm afraid they're going to follow the lead of our Attorney General Loretta Lynch who confiscated nearly a BILLION DOLLARS worth of civil assets as a U.S. prosecutor! 

This is bad, bad news. 

According to the Department of Justice's statistics, it seized over $4.4 BILLION from American citizens in 2012 alone. 

It's just ONE of 12 federal agencies throwing "innocent until proven guilty" out the window to make seizures! 

And these figures don't even include the tens of BILLIONS local governments seize from innocent law-abiding Americans every year! 

This can of worms was originally opened to give law enforcement more power to fight their Drug War. 

Now it's spiraling out of control as government increasingly looks for any excuse to confiscate anyone's property to pad their own coffers. 

Many times, it's the poor who are targeted -- because government officials know they often can't afford high-priced attorneys or the court fees it takes to fight back. 

How long until these rogue police powers are used to target citizens whose growing gun collections government believes are "suspicious?" 

Or carry cash on family vacations instead of credit cards to help keep track of spending? 

With money-hungry government goons becoming even more brazen with the backing of President Obama's Attorney General, Loretta Lynch -- I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action to help me stop this madness. 

As you'll see, I've created petitions to your U.S. Representatives and Senators insisting they cosponsor and vote for the Fifth Amendment Integrity Restoration (FAIR) Act, S. 255/H.R. 540. 

If passed, the FAIR Act, introduced by my son, Senator Rand Paul, would finally END the policing for profit operations around the United States that are bleeding innocent Americans dry. 

That's why I'm counting on your action in support of the FAIR Act today! 

With a tidal wave of grassroots pressure, I believe you and I can FORCE Congress to act to restore the Fifth Amendment. 

But even if you and I can just force a vote, it's a win/win situation. 

Let members of Congress try and defend their votes to allow rogue government agencies outright theft of innocent -- and often poor -- Americans' property. 

They'll pay a steep price at the polls in 2016! 

So please, take a moment to sign your petitions in support of the FAIR Act today. 

As former Illinois Senator Everett Dirksen once said, "When I feel the heat, I see the light." 

After you've signed, I hope you'll make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty today to help them turn up the heat and end the practice of "civil asset theft!" 

For Liberty,

Ron Paul 
Chairman 

P.S. Legalized government theft under the official-sounding euphemism "Civil Asset Forfeiture" is a racket that would make the mafia proud. 

With government agencies around the country set to follow Attorney General Loretta Lynch's lead and ramp up their stealing of innocent Americans' wealth, I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action. 

Please sign your petitions in support of the FAIR Act and make your most generous contribution to Campaign for Liberty today.
