While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Benjamin S. “Helicopter Ben” Bernanke, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors (a Federal agency) that oversees the privately owned Federal Reserve System of (central) Banks, in testimony before the house committee on oversight and government reform, threatens the nation with a total economic collapse if CONgress orders and audit of the central banking cartel:

       My concern about the legislation is that if the GAO [General Accounting Office] is auditing not only the operational aspects of the programs and the details of the programs but making judgments about our policy decisions would effectively be a takeover of policy by the Congress and a repudiation of the Federal Reserve would be highly destructive to the stability of the financial system, the Dollar and our national economic situation.

       NOTE: This is the further realization of plank number five of the “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx.
