The Wells Fargo bank account scandal took center stage in the news last week and in all likelihood will continue to make headlines for many weeks to come. What Wells Fargo employees did in opening bank accounts without customers' authorization was obviously wrong, but in true Washington fashion the scandal is being used to deflect attention away from larger, more enduring, and more important scandals.
What Wells Fargo employees who opened these accounts engaged in was nothing more than fraud and theft, and they should be punished accordingly. But how much larger is the fraud perpetrated by the Federal Reserve System and why does the Fed continue to go unpunished?
For over 100 years the Federal Reserve System has been devaluing the dollar, siphoning money from the wallets of savers into the pockets of debtors. Where is the outrage? Where are the hearings? Why isn’t Congress up in arms about the Fed’s malfeasance?
It reminds me of the story of the pirate confronting Alexander the Great. When accused by Alexander of piracy, he replies“Because I do it with a small boat, I am called a pirate and a thief. You, with a great navy, molest the world and are called an emperor.”

The Fed is more dangerous as they are 'backed' by the government!

Wrong.
The government is backed by the Fed.
The power to print money is the greatest earthly power. With the newly printed money the Fed and its cohorts can buy up all real assets and manipulate prices for commodities.
The Fed are the Masters of the Universe.
They are the same people who own the ECB, IMF, so on. They are international bankers with secret connections to rich powerful families. They are all Jewish and work together at all times.
The Feds!
