No, the Illuminati only existed a short time; I believed they were banned in Germany shortly after their inception.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell |

Rubicon95, great job on the research, and thanks for the information. I did not know about gutenburg.org. It will be a greatly used resource.

Halfmooner said "The Federal Reserve Act, in fact, was pushed by Wilson in his first year in office, precisely to limit the kinds of banking abuses which had caused havoc, depressions, and outright starvation in the previous century."
Do you have any evidence of banking abuse that caused starvation and depressions prior to 1913 in America?
How about the depression in the 1930's, or the current situation with the foreclosures. Did the regulations help or cause these situations?

It seems like the current housing woes are caused by increased subprime and predatory lending. I have no idea what the regulatory rules are for that. |

I'd be surprised to find out that predatory lending regulations were a part of the Federal Reserse Act of 1913. And they don't seem to be. |

May I correct that by substituting "economic Libertarianism"? I do support some of the non-economic ideas of Libertarianism, as I suppose you do, Dude.

That's why I chose my words, "... spreading damned lies for Libertarianism..." He found someone's deliberate lies, and then spread them. Functionally, that's lying, but I carefully limited myself to accusing him of "spreading" the lies, not making them up, leaving implied wiggle-room for his having been deceived. It's hard for me to think, however, that Jerome actually believed that what he was spreading about was an honest quote.

Yes, Jerome, I certainly do have evidence of the many bank runs and depressions that preceded the Federal Reserve Act. But you will have to look them up yourself this time, especially as you give no evidence that you use actually the links we provide to you.

The Wall Street Crash of 1929 was primarily due to the lack of sufficient stock market regulation, not banking regulation. Look it up, Jerome.

So, it had nothing at all to due with the tightening of the money supply by the federal reserve? I have looked it up; you seem to just blame all problems on not enough government regulation without looking anything up.
Halfmooner said "Yes, Jerome, I certainly do have evidence of the many bank runs and depressions that preceded the Federal Reserve Act"
Do you really, of causing depressions and starvation, or is this more posturing?

Money is created by borrowing. Banks need to loan money which in turn creates money deposited in another member bank. The federal reserve banking system loans money to member banks; ever wonder where that money comes from?

 AND, the people who work for the Federal Reserve breath oxygen! So the real predator is the very cardiovascular system that keeps us alive. The irony!
But seriously: your argument doesn't make any sense. |

Talk about selective quoting! The end of the passage notes:| [12 USC 371. As amended by acts of Aug. 14, 1946 (60 Stat. 1072); May 25, 1948 (62 Stat. 265); Oct. 25, 1949 (63 Stat. 906); April 20, 1950 (64 Stat. 80); Sept. 1, 1951 (65 Stat. 303, 312); Aug. 15, 1953 (67 Stat. 614); July 22, 1954 (68 Stat. 525); Aug. 17, 1954 (68 Stat. 735); Aug. 11, 1955 (69 Stat. 633, 634); July 18, 1958 (72 Stat. 396); Sept. 9, 1959 (73 Stat. 489); June 30, 1961 (75 Stat. 188, 191); Sept. 28, 1962 (76 Stat. 662, 663); June 30, 1964 (78 Stat. 233); Sept. 2, 1964 (78 Stat. 807); Aug. 10, 1965 (79 Stat. 465, 509); Nov. 3, 1966 (80 Stat. 1277); May 25, 1967 (81 Stat. 28); Aug. 1, 1968 (82 Stat. 518, 609); July 24, 1970 (84 Stat. 462); Dec. 31, 1970 (84 Stat. 1803); Aug. 22, 1974 (88 Stat. 716, 725); and Oct. 15, 1982 (96 Stat. 1510).] |
Given that you have no idea what these amendments say, you actually can't speak at all to the level or regulation. |

I know you can put more thought than that into a post. Come on, you generally at least have a counter argument.
