Herman Cain rose up out of nowhere (you might think), and he is extremely popular among the GOP candidates, second only to Mitt Romney, according to the polls.  I liked him very much and I heard a great speech by Cain, but was suddenly taken aback when I heard him say, "We don't need to audit the Federal Reserve Bank."  I thought, "Uh oh, something's wrong here; I have to do some research..." 

I Googled his employment background and found that he chaired the Board of Directors of the Federal Reserve Bank in Kansas City.  He was suddenly not an option, not worth the risk!  If you don't understand why his relationship with the Federal Reserve Bank cuts him out - in my book, you need to be aware of some very important facts below:

 What is the Federal Reserve and What Do They Do?  The Federal Reserve Bank is NOT run by the government of the United States.  They are no more a part of the federal government than the Federal Express mail service.  The Federal Reserve Bank is a privately owned corporation owned by a secret group of international bankers.  They are a cartel which monopolizes and controls the US economy; they profiteer off of the federal tax revenues of the US citizens, and oh how they profit!  President Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve Act into law in 1913, giving the Federal Reserve bankers the power to print money, then sell it to the US government, charging billions of dollars of interest on the monies they loan to the US!  Prior to this, the US Treasury printed its own money, interest free!  The same year, a new federal law was implemented to impose federal income tax on US citizens.  This income tax was necessary, so the government could give your and my tax dollars to the private bankers of the Federal Reserve Bank, for interest on the money they print for us.  (I have wondered how much money they paid Woodrow Wilson to give them control over the peoples of the US.)  

The last and only president to challenge and, in fact, sign an executive order to rid us of the Federal Reserve Bank was John F Kennedy; of course, you know what happened to him.  He signed executive order 11110 on June 4, 1963, to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its authority to print US dollars and sell it back to the US, with interest.  The order authorized the Treasury Department to begin printing and circulating silver certificates, without going through the Federal Reserve.  The goal was to circulate enough silver certificates to eliminate any demand for the Federal Reserve notes, thereby eliminating the Federal Reserve Bank.  Only five months after President Kennedy signed executive order 11110, he was assassinated!  Once Lyndon B Johnson took control of the US administration after Kennedy's assassination, printing of the silver certificates stopped abruptly.  I don't think I need to spell it out any further; you get the picture.  

Virtually all of the more than 14 trillion dollars in US debt has accumulated because of the astronomical amount of money paid to the Federal Reserve bankers for interest on the money they print and loan to the US citizens (money printed out of thin air - nothing backs the Federal Reserve notes printed by the Federal Reserve Bank).  With our economy in such a mess, so much unemployment, people losing their businesses, homes, even their cars, it is a national tragedy that we live under the oppression of the Federal Reserve bankers!  Can you imagine how much better off the citizens of the US would be without having to pay billions to the Federal Reserve?  The Word of God says, "You have taken usury and increase and you have greedily gained from your neighbors by extortion, and have forgotten me, saith the Lord God" Ezekiel 22:12.  "He has given with usury and has taken increase; should he then live?  He will not live; he has done all these abominations; he will surely die and his blood will be upon him" Ezekiel 18:3.  The prophet Ezekiel is referring to the spiritual death of these greedy, treacherous people.  God will, in the end, execute judgment upon the people who do such things.
