When someone sent me a link, claiming it was the website of the Federal Reserve, my reaction was one of laughter. It had a .gov domain. But .gov domains are for federal government institutions, and the Federal Reserve is a private bank that, in terms of ownership, is no more federal than Federal Express!
To add to the smokescreen, the United States Postal Service, clearly a federal government institution, has a .com domain.
This, despite the U.S. Constitution explicitly delegating the sole powers to “establish Post Offices” and “To coin Money” to Congress, a branch of the federal government. In a constitutional and sensible world, it would be the Federal Reserve with a .com domain and the USPS with a .gov domain.
Haha, that is pretty funny. I have a theory about the FRB. It is a system designed to control a nation. Every time one of these market crashes happens, the Fed loans money at the expense of the taxpayers. Jobs are lost; inflation occurs; dollar value is dropped. We are being slowly suffocated. When analyzing government spending since the 1930′s, and the success of special interest groups that lobby for such spending; it’s hard to be optimistic about the future. Something more along the lines of Orwell’s “1984″ paint a morbid prophecy in my mind.
Our only hope is a miraculous wave of enlightenment among the majority of voters. That or a violent revolution. It has worked both ways throughout history.
