Is the Fed Treasonous?

The neoconservative talking heads recently took a short time out from praising, deifying, and anointing Texas Governor Rick Perry as the next president of the United States to chastise him for criticizing the Fed. In particular, he was taken to the neocon woodshed for saying that the printing of trillions of dollars of paper currency was harmful to the economy and, since we are in a depression, such an act was “almost treasonous.”

Governor Perry could not have been referring to the actual definition of treason that is contained in Article 3, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution, which reads as follows:

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. (emphasis added).

The only Americans who were ever guilty of treason under this definition would have been Abraham Lincoln, his cabinet, the “Civil War” Congress, the Union Army command, and all army volunteers from the Northern states during the War to Prevent Southern Independence. Waging war against the Southern states was the very definition of treason under the U.S. Constitution.

And now… the rest of the story. …..

    Perhaps the concealment of the Fed’s profit (of up to $8.4 trillion from the auctions of T-securities last year) would not be treason. Perhaps they would only be criminal violations of 18 USC sections 641, 1001, 3, along with violations of 12 USC 247. Would each auction be a separate violation?

    And that does not even address the inherent Ponzi scheme of the Fed that prevents the National debt from ever being paid off. Isn’t a contract that cannot be culminated an act of fraud and void from its inception?

    The Fed obtained $8.4 trillion last year from the auction of Treasury securities—OFF OF THE BOOKS–without Congress and the public being aware of it !!!! The Ponzi scheme Fed, which is destined to bankrupt the nation for the benefit of “financiers,” does not even report the income as they inflict perpetual indebtedness and international chaos in the confiscation of the nation‘s wealth. Hiding money due to the government is a crime. Anyone helping the Fed to cover up the crime is an accomplice. Would these be acts of treason ??
