For a brief introduction to what the Federal Reserve really is, use this link, for a 5-minute presentation by G. Edward Griffin, author of "The Creature from Jeckyll Island":

Ron Paul has his history entirely correct, and he is being entirely truthful with us that America is very close to bankrupt. We are already insolvent, but the actual bankruptcy is being deferred by the tightrope act of Greenspan followed by Bernanke.
They have inflated all value out of the once-mighty U.S. Dollar, and all Americans, you, me, our children and grandchildren have been left holding the bag.
Thomas Jefferson said, of private, fractional reserve Central Banks, (of which the Fed is one): "Under a fractional reserve Central Bank, the day will come that Americans will wake up HOMELESS, on the continent their forefathers conquered."
What Ron Paul has set out to do, is to free us from the shackles that Jefferson warned about, 200 years ago, shackles put on us by our own elected leaders, back in 1913.
By the way, these were Woodrow Wilsons EXACT words written by him in 1922, two years before his death:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world - no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
Stop making fun of Ron Paul. Of ALL the candidates, he is the only one who's actually right-on in his assessment of our economy, and of the crisis brought on the the Reagan/Clinton/Bush years, which now more than ever, have brought us to the brink of losing our financial power and financial leadership in the world, not to mention, losing every last bit of our National Economy that historically made us the best place to be in the entire world.
What I can't fathom is that even Ron Paul supporters seem to be standing silently by as the GOP hierarchy and MSM, including Faux News, continue to marginalize Ron Paul's candidacy, even though he has shown some amazing performance, in fundraising, and his SECOND-PLACE finish in the Nevada primary.
Do we really want the Media and the East Coast Establishment to foreclose our choices for leader of our country????
