I don’t believe the Fed is doing anything illegal in the same respect as Goldman Sachs did nothing illegal…:)
Here is an article about the Fed discussing the housing bubble from 2005.

Transparency??
Allen Greenspan …”I would say this: We run the risk, by laying out the pros and cons of a particular argument, of inducing people to join in on the debate, and in this regard it is possible to lose control of a process that only we fully understand. We have a ratchet in here where, if we were to move forward, we can’t go back. So the concept of transparency is a very important concept but one that should be approached with a recognition that we cannot move back and forth on it. I’m a little concerned here that by raising certain issues we may not be able to backtrack.”

The creature book says that the central banks desire to control the whole worlds money supply so it can make even more money off of us. This is the motive behind bankrupting the US dollar, which is the main currency stopping a one world money. Spend it untill no-one wants it and it becomes worthless. That does sound like a conspiracy theory but one that I find hard to poke holes in. I hope that this one example helps. There are many more ways that the US dollar finds its way out of the fed and into other countries. Read this book as well as others.[/quote]Lets see. US banks, that hold the vast majority of their investments in US dollars, are trying to intentionally bankrupt the US, in order to make the dollar worthless.
Wow, no holes in that theory i can spot. Maybe someone else can spot a flaw.
(Might want to spend a few hours researching the CFR and Bilderberg Group too. Those are also parties you aren’t invited to.)

May 24, 2010 at 8:56 PM #553459ArrayaParticipantSelf destruction is a function of the system. It may be comforting to think somebody has a plan. Don’t count on it. This Mo’Fo is a runaway train that just past a bridge out sign.
Though, I’m sure, a constant state of conspiring goes on a daily basis. No question. Just no over riding one, except to maximize profits at all costs.

Is the consumerist totalization of this country and the world really a conscious plot by a handful of powerful corporate and financial masters? If we answer “yes” we find ourselves trundled off toward the babbling ranks of the paranoid. Still though, it’s easy enough to name those who would piss themselves with joy over the prospect of a One World corporate state, with billions of people begging to work for their 1,500 calories a day and an xBox chip in their necks. It’s too bad our news media quit hunting with live ammo decades ago, leaving us with no one to track the activities and progress of what sure as hell seem to be global elites, judging from the financial spoor we find along every pathway of modern life.
In our saner moments we can also see that it does not take dark super-centralized plotting to pull off what appears to have been accomplished. Even without working in overt concert, a few thousands of dedicated individual corporate and financial interests can constitute a unified pathogenic whole, much the same as individual cells create a viable dominant colony of malignant organisms — malignant simply by their anti-human, anti-societal nature. We don’t see GM, Halliburton, Burger King and CitiBank lobbying the state for universal health or clean rivers, do we? But mention unions or living wages, and the financial colony within our national Petri dish shape shifts into a Gila monster and squirts venom on the idea and shits money all over Capitol Hill. I looked at all this as coincidence for years until the proposition finally strained credulity so much that I threw in the towel and said, “Fuck it. There is only so much coincidence to go around in this world.”
Put another way, the global decision makers, international planners, financial institutions, political parties, media conglomerates, corporations, banks, a hegemonic, accumulative bloc working in concert to coordinate the extraction of wealth from first and third world alike. A series of privately held international institutions to which and from which money can be moved to leverage nations and populations according to their needs is probably gonna do just that because they can. National territory doesn’t mean shit to such people, and those who govern said territory mean even less, except to the extent they can obstruct or incite resistance.
