| | Federal Reserve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Federal Reserve is financially independent because it runs a surplus, due in part to its ownership of government bonds. | | | The Federal Reserve System is an independent government agency. | | | The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. |

| | MSN Encarta - Federal Reserve System |
| | The Federal Reserve shares authority in some instances—for example, in approving bank mergers or in examining banks—with other federal agencies such as the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). | | | When the required reserve ratio is raised, banks are unable to create as much money as they previously were able to because a larger portion of their assets must be held in reserve; the converse is true when the reserve ratio is reduced. | | | This independence is partially ensured by the fact that the income and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the Board of Governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process; the Federal Reserve is self-financing. |

| | The Federal Reserve Bunk |
| | If the Federal Reserve Bank were demolished and the Congress of the United States took control of the currency, as required in the Constitution, the National Debt would virtually end overnight, and the need for more taxes and even the income tax, itself. | | | The Federal Reserve was to unite and supevise the entire banking system, control the expansion or contraction of currency, and regulate the flow of money to the commercial banks through the establishment of 12 Federal Reserve Banks. | | | The Federal Reserve is controlled by private banking interest and by Presidential appointment - but it is still a private organization and not a government entity. |

| | Federal Reserve activities designed to expand bank credit may lead to an upswing in the business cycle, which tends to lead toward inflation; conversely, a restriction of credit generally results in decreased business growth and deflation. | | | The required reserves are proportionate to the member bank's own deposits, the proportion varying according to the location of the member bank and the character of its deposits. | | | In the field of stock market speculation the Federal Reserve authorities have a direct means of control over the use of funds, namely, through the establishment of margin requirements margin requirement, that part of a security's price that a buyer must pay for in cash. |

| | Federal Reserve System |
| | Those chartered by the federal government (through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency in the Department of the Treasury) are national banks, and by law are members of the System. | | | The Reserve Banks, like the Board, are subject to audit by the GAO, but certain functions such as transactions with foreign central banks and open market operations are excluded from audit. | | | The income of the Federal Reserve System is derived primarily from the interest on U.S. government securities that it has acquired through open market operations. |

| | Federal Reserve proposal was unconstitutional from its inception, because the Federal Reserve System was to be a bank of issue. | | | Thus the proposed Federal Reserve Bank was to be "controlled by Congress" and answerable to the government, but the majority of the directors were to be chosen, "directly or indirectly" by the banks of the association. | | | Because the Federal Reserve Bank of New York was to set the interest rates and direct open market operations, thus controlling the daily supply and price of money throughout the United States, it is the stockholders of that bank who are the real directors of the entire system. |

| | Hence, the Federal Reserve can afford to buy as many government securities as it likes because it can balance the liability incurred by buying them against their worth, or, to put it more simply, pay for what it has bought with what it has bought. | | | The final solution on behalf of the banking cartel is to have the federal government guarantee payment of the loan should the borrower default in the future. | | | The speculative buying and selling of government securities to the Federal Reserve has become so profitable that the 'government securities market' is now the largest financial market in the world. |

| | __________________________________________ |
| | The condition "in a free-market system" is crucial, because the self-limiting aspect of fiduciary money historically has failed in an economic regime in which the government or powerful private interests license the issuers of fiduciary monies to suspend or repudiate entirely their promises to redeem those monies on demand in coin. | | | The FRS was an attempt to maintain that system in perpetuity - first, at the national level with the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, and then at the international level with the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944. | | | In a free market system, new supplies of a fiduciary money will be issued only to the extent the issuer is confident it can satisfy demands for redemption of its notes in a commodity money. |

| | #17A: DISMANTLING THE U.S. FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM |
| | One is the amount of bank reserves which the member (local) banks of the Federal Reserve System have to their credit on the books (held at the district) Federal Reserve Banks. | | | This is an era of economic misery; and, for the conditions that caused that misery, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable. | | | This is how the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the thousands of member local banks operate without ever being exposed for the fraudulent bookkeeping entries, the printing of the "phony buck," transacting fraudulent loans, creating unjust and illegal interest, and even confiscating property. |

| | While 80% of the stock was to be held privately, and the other 20% purchased by government, it was through the aquisition of the 20%, and then the Franctional Reserve banking "tricks", and wha-lah, this somehow paid for the Private Investors portion, which was never put up AT ALL. | | | (Fractional Reserve Banking, again.) They would loan the politicians as much money as they wanted, but they had to secure the debt by the "direct taxation" on the people. | | | What most people do not realize is that this country would be a far different place if England hadn't gotten their way, back in 1913 with the passing of the Federal Reserve Act. |
