Are the fraud allegations from the article urging to Shut Down the Federal Reserve accurate? Why is there so little education about the Federal Reserve in the media, schools and universities?

Why is the Government Accountability Office not allowed a full audit of the Federal Reserve? The position that something is very wrong with the Federal Reserve is even supported by some courageous Congressmen from both parties. If their accusations are unfounded, then why aren't the democratically elected Congressmen allowed to audit the Federal Reserve's alleged private ownership and selfish activities? The US Constitution in Article I, Section 8, Paragraph 5, states that Congress has the authority to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;".
Why is the Federal Reserve so secretive?


Shut Down the Federal Reserve
"The band aids will not help the economic crisis. There is a systemic problem. The Federal Reserve and all the central banks in the world that are designed on its model are defrauding the people of the world.

There is no rational reason why the U.S. Congress cannot print its own currency. The Congress was intimidated, bribed and blackmailed into creating and maintaining the Federal Reserve Bank. The Federal Reserve was awarded a contract to manage the currency in America. The cost of that contract to the U.S. has been $10 trillion in national debt.

To try to cover for the Federal Reserve's greedy fraud, many countries are being forced to pay into the Federal Reserve coffers to keep the world economy afloat. One of the ways they are being forced to pay is through devaluation of their currencies with respect to the U.S. dollar, which is a way of building up America at the expense of others in the world.

All of the band-aid measures will fail. The problem is the Federal Reserve, which concept is founded upon debt-based currency and fraud. It must be closed down or it will continue to suck the resources of the U.S. with its currency management contract. The American government could do the Federal Reserve's job for virtually nothing, and save the U.S. taxpayers between $200 and $900 billion each year in interest off a debt that will never be paid off."



Louis Thomas McFadden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"McFadden is also remembered for his criticism of the Federal Reserve, which he claimed was created and operated by European banking interests who conspired to economically control the United States. On June 10, 1932, McFadden made a 25-minute speech before the House of Representatives[2] , in which he accused the Federal Reserve of deliberately causing the Great Depression."

Huey Long - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Long was a staunch opponent of the Federal Reserve Bank. Together with a group of Congressmen and Senators, Long believed the Federal Reserve's policies to be the true cause of the Great Depression. Long made speeches denouncing the large banking houses of Morgan and Rockefeller centered in New York which owned stock in the Federal Reserve System. He believed that they controlled the monetary system to their own benefit, instead of the general public's benefit."

Rand Paul - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Paul opposes the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and the Federal Reserve's control of the nations money supply and interest rates. He wants to allow the free market to regulate interest rates, and supports congresses constitutional role of controlling the money supply. Paul endorses H.R. 1207, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act, a bill introduced by Congressman Ron Paul mandating an audit of the Federal Reserve. Although Paul would abolish the Federal Reserve, he supports transparency and accountability of the semi-private institution. Additionally, Paul opposes inflation and supports "restoring the value of the dollar that has devalued by approximately 95% since the Federal Reserve's inception in 1913"."

Alan Grayson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Grayson is a co-sponsor of the Federal Reserve Transparency Act of 2009, which would provide addition provisions to audit the Federal Reserve, including removing several key exemptions."

Good question. One of the best books I read was The Creature From Jekyll Island, I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good review of the Fed reserve.

EDIT: Could be wrong on the exact title but I know that is close.

Although this kind of bibliographical reference is Axiom's territory, I found the following very interesting and I am sharing it with you.

Axiom

"The Creature From Jekyll Island" should be prescribed reading for all tertiary students studying anything remotely concerned with economics , public service, or banking .

But it is not .

Guess why .

To keep us stupid and keep us as sheep. I tried recommending it to my Econ teacher and they scoffed at me. Are you in business/finance/banking of any sorts?

Axiom

yes , academia like the media act as gatekeepers of information .
Most operating in these worlds are brainwashed and completely oblivious to this fact .
other important works ,likewise marginalised:
tragedy and hope c.quigley
atlas shrugged a. rand



It is a requirement for me to be somewhat informed in the areas of business/finance/banking in my capacity as a full time Reality Analyst . However it , like endgames in chess ,is my least favourite sub-set .

The text posted after "marginalised," are those books you suggest to read? Sorry, it has been a long day and my brain is thinking about my philosophy class I just had.

As a full time reality Analyst, I presume you mean just being human and it being a responsibility for us all to think critically and comprehend what is happening? Or is there actually such a job? I apologize for my ignorance on the matter.
