  • Bernanke Grilling May Weaken Case for Fed as Risk Regulator

    Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s grilling by legislators over Federal Reserve conduct in Bank of America Corp.’s takeover of Merrill Lynch & Co. may reduce the odds the central bank will win new powers in a regulatory overhaul.

    Bernanke failed to resolve some lawmakers’ questions on whether the Fed bullied executives and stepped over other regulators in the name of financial stability in a three-hour congressional hearing yesterday. Republicans asserted the Fed interfered with commercial decisions, and Democrats said it should have wrung more concessions in return for taxpayer aid.

    Criticisms by members of both parties are likely to diminish support for the Obama administration’s plan to make the Fed the single agency responsible for the largest and most interconnected financial institutions. The proposal, part of a broad revamp of bank regulation, would give the Fed power to dictate standards on capital, liquidity and risk management.

    “It may be more important for us to find another systemic risk regulator,” Representative Paul Kanjorski, a Pennsylvania Democrat and member of the House Oversight Committee where Bernanke appeared, said in a Bloomberg Television interview after the hearing. Congress should “hesitate to put any more authority on the back of the Federal Reserve,” he said.

      Well, now that’s some good news.

      k Reply:

      “If that mischievous financial policy, which had its origin in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without a debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce.

      It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of civilized governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.”

      It wasn’t that long ago that lying to Congress was a felony offense. So, there Bernake is apparently committing a felony on the congressional floor, in front of God and everybody, and the Congressmen did not even give him a warning to stop lying or else.

      Sovereign or Slave??\
      If you are are a People of the state you were born in then you are a sovereign and NO legislated law applies to you. If you are a Citizen of the United States under the 14th amendment “all persons born…in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof….” then the government has jurisdiction over you (all legislated laws apply), i.e. you have privileges not rights. The People established the government, the government rules over its Citizens, don’t you want to be a People rather than a Citizen?
      Citzens have no rights to keep and bear arms, free speech, privacy against search and sizure, etc. Everything is applied to you with your permission. You signed a 1040 “under penalty of perjury” and thus signed away your rights or did you put “under duress”, or “without prejudice” above your sig.
      Any mention of Law in the constitution of the United States or the individual States refers to the supreme law-the Common law. There is only 1 basic rule under Common Law “you are liable for any injury you cause to another flesh and blood man/woman/child” . With victimless crimes under legislated law there is NO injured party, yet it’s always the People of [State] vs YOU. Where’s the plaintiff (complaining party)? Does the Prosecuter have a signed power of atty. from any People to represent them? Of course a man in a uniform will use his gun to kidnap you but you have the right and just cause to sue him for fraud and under Title 18, 242 he is liable for any trespass against your person that isn’t lawful. There it is again Common Law. Lawful not Legal, there is a difference. Anyone can be free by studying their rights and demanding them. http://1215.org/lawnotes/index.html

    9. Incriminally Sane Says:

      The ONLY way you will be able to regain your rights as a free sovereign in Amerika is to get rid of the Federal Reserve and ALL of the CORRUPT POLITICIANS and start over with honest people and if you want to return to representative Government you must get rid of the capitalist ideals and do away with the lobby and then you may become a free soul once again.
