End the Fed, good idea you say, why yes I say. But you say you lack the intelligence to end the fed yourself, no problem I say, there's a new book in town, called End the Fed by Ron Paul. 
 
BUY, BUY, BUY!!!
 
It's your patriotic fucking duty to buy this book. If you don't buy this book you are in bed with shylock bankers. Think of the children, just think of the children.
 
Destroy the Fed and set yourselves free from the tyranny of tribes controlling your money supply.

You would think Amazon could find better reviews than those from Arlo Guthrie and Vince Vaughn.
 
Then again, we are talking about Ron Paul.

It's a bummer that it's by Ron Paul, because if it wasn't I would have taken slightly longer to know I don't want to buy it.

He has over 200 co-sponsors in Congress signing his bill to end the Fed, so he could quite easily get some of his political friends to vouch for his position, which may be a conflict of interest. These names are nothing more than mainstream attachments, too woo a crowd that may not know who he is or what his book is about.
 
End the Fed and kick the money changers out of the temple, permanently.

Ahhh Ron Paul, the man who wants to implement the gold standard all over again.
 
Think I'm gonna pass on the book, even though I agree(with the title of it at least).

Anarchy isn't even novel in theory, people this far right might as well be ignored. They just want a world where they can rape and pillage with impunity and that requires the dissolving of central government and state power, one pillar at a time.
I don't really believe that, but I felt the thread needed a left leaning contrast to the crazy OP.

There is no control over the banks, the banks have the power. You're also assuming the Fed is part of the government, it's not, and never has been, in fact it answers to no one but itself. The Fed is the problem not the solution and it most certainly doesn't work for the interests of the everyday man.
 
If you want to be in charge give back the money supply to the people, directly as part of the government under elected officials. Right now the Fed can do whatever it wants with its own Fed dollars.

It means what? Round up the money changing bastards and throw their asses in Guantanamo? If you can do with brown people in the Middle East who are threatening the US interests then do it with these shysters.

I'm about as for anarchy as the pope is for scientology. It's easy to berate someone for something they don't believe in or create false dichotomies in your head on something that doesn't exist.
 
I want change, true change in government, and the only way to do that is to start changing the governmental and power based institutions one step at a time. You don't need a Federal Reserve, the US managed quite nicely without one for well over a century after its founding, and many nations continue with a central authoritative bank. Take back the money supply and control of the money away from private individuals and back into the hands of the people. Very far right wing of me.

The big nosed part. The connotaion of big nosed bankers is reserved for Jewish people by bigots that believe the Jews control all of the money in the world. Choose your word more carefully next time.

I think he thinks "big nosed" is code for Jews?  I assume it isn't and read it as those types putting their noses in the feeding trough, like pigs. 
 
Removing the Federal Reserve is most likely problematic asthe alternative is the Government of the day.  Do we really trust the President and his party to control the cost of money?  I think more regulation as to how the Federal Reserve works and being more answerable is probably the answer.   
 
Keep in mind, not American, so your Reserve works differently from ours - probably.  Australia is the only country still in growth in the old western democracies, having missed the recession, so our reserve and government must have done something right.

Funny I was told by one of my Political College tutors that there is an inordinate control over the worlds financial system under Jewish control. She stated it to the whole class, no one batted an eyelid. Is she anti-semitic? Is it any less bigoted when I was told Arabs control OPEC and the oil supply? Or Rome is controlled by the Catholic Pope. Sometimes facts are facts. Which all 3 of the preceding statements are, none of which I view as remotely "racists" or bigoted.

We need to get these types of threads more game related.  Where the Hell is my 360 version of Federal Reserve, a sim game where try to run the world.  If we fail when we apply our ideas in the game, then we have to shut the hell up and never make another thread about it on the internet. 
 
Good idea?

Wrong, it is partly run by the government.  For one it was Created by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 so there's one point for government.  Here's the best part.   The presidentially appointed Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, a governmental agency in Washington, D.C runs it partly, JOY!

Just going to ask the obvious - did she back it up with facts?  Have you got legitimate links to support it?

Just because no-one batted an eyelash doesn't mean it wasn't wrong, oh and the other statements are false, OPEC is not run just by Arabs (Algeria, Angola, Libya, Nigeria, Venezuela, Ecuador) the Catholic church is a Theocratic state, so of course its run by the Catholics. That is Anti-semetic bullshit and statements like that are things people like Hitler used to say, so shut the fuck up with your radical ass Libertarian/Anarchic Economic Policies.

The antisemitism from the original poster of this thread is quite disturbing. Just so this is clear, racism, bigotry, or hate speech of any kind is not tolerated on Giant Bomb and anyone who violates that simple guideline will be dealt with harshly. There aren't that many rules on Giant Bomb and we are quite lenient with the forums, but some things just cannot be ignored.
