So Now the FED Wants to Monitor Your Comments
« on: September 26, 2011, 08:06:48 PM »
on social sites including blogs forums and media outlets. 

Why is the FED worried about comments which largely echo in the ether?  Is it because the questions are beginning to gain traction out there with Joe and Martha Sixpack? 

The $64 question:  Does Ron Paul scare these guys?

Enjoy!

I wonder why they want to monitor people who comment? Or have they already begun?

Personally, I fully support anything the fine gentleman at the Federal Reserve Board do. I'm glad they are monitoring our conversations and I, for one, welcome our new monetary overlords.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

They've gone from The Fed to The Dread in just a few years.  Some things cannot stand too much light.

I'm sure the program can see to the pixel.

But lets tell the Fed to help the economy and add a few crooks in the mix and wonder were our money is going.

The're all crooks but some of them might have good intentions.

Wow, that was hard to type with a straight face.

Boy do I feel dumb.
I thought Attack Watch was satire/sarcasm. I could hardly believe that was serious. :facepalm:

Was that because you saw the youtube video mocking it?  If so, without knowing anything else I would believe it was satire.

Oh goody, it's the online version of Echelon 1.0!

Please read this:

Thanks for spending our tax dollars listening to what we say and especially thanks for doing nothing with what you learn.

Real shame that you don't really listen to what we say, as you piss away tax dollars on $16 muffins for DOJ meetings.

The Federal Government is an 800lb bully who treats it's citizens like crappola.

Go away, leave me alone, stay out of my way, and get the *expletive deleted*ck out of my life.

Guess that pretty much covers that.

Dear Federal Reserve.

    Greetings.   You have operated under sketchy circumstances for a long time.  Lucky for you, macroeconomics is boring enough that 99% of Americans have no idea who you are or what you do.  Bringing attention to yourself?  Bad idea.  If the average American understood fractional reserve banking, they would be very very upset.  Oddly enough, I do not have a problem with it, per se.  Implementation, sure, concept, no prob.

   Try to play junior NSA and it will end with a lot of angry taxpayers.  They already do not like you.  If they found out about your quasi government, quasi private legal standing, you'll get nationalized.  And folks will ask questions you don't want asked.

   Kindly back out of the spotlight and keep a very low profile.

Dear Fed...



Seriously.

Your entire institution can, and probably should be replaced with a computer running a relatively simple program that decides the amount of notes to be printed, or created for electronic exchange, solely on the basis of maintaining as stable a U.S. Dollar as possible.
