The House Financial Services Committee has approved Rep. Ron Paul’s measure to drastically expand the government’s power to audit the Federal Reserve.
The measure, based on a Paul proposal that has attracted more than 300 cosponsors, passed, 43-26, as an amendment to a fi nancial reform bill. Florida Democrat and fellow Fed critic Alan Grayson co-sponsored the amendment with Paul and played a leading role drumming up support for it among committee members.
The adoption of this amendment is an extraordinary victory for Paul, whose libertarian, anti-Fed leanings have often been dismissed by the political establishment.
The amendment would give the Government Accountability Office much greater to audit the Federal Reserve, which has a long history of independence from congressional audits.
Paul and Grayson beat out a competing measure offered by Rep. Mel Watt (D-N.C.), who after weeks of negotiations with the pair felt their measure would threaten the Fed’s monetary policy. Grayson, however, told POLITICO in an interview that Watt’s amendment would add more restrictions on the GAO’s ability to audit the Fed, not less.
“And there’s a crying need to expand it because the Federal Reserve has completely changed the way it’s done business since a year and a half ago.”

Scientists prepare to open pandora’s box with 50% species integration
Expert says new human-animal hybrids plan could lead to genetic armageddon
A mouse that can speak? A monkey with Down’s Syndrome? Dogs with human hands or feet? British scientists want to know if such experiments are acceptable, or if they go too far in the name of medical research.
To find out, Britain’s Academy of Medical Sciences launched a study this week to look at the use of animals containing human material in scientific research. (See Reuters link below).
The study is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will help establish guidelines for scientists in Britain and around the world on how far the public is prepared to see them go in mixing human genes into animals. But there is already a “sort of understanding” within the scientific community that you can get “close to 50/50 mix” of human and animal material before some scientists begin questioning the ethics, but laws are vague at best and scientists say the technology to put ever greater amounts of human genetic material into animals is spreading quickly around the world — raising the possibility that some scientists in some places may want to push boundaries.The study is expected to take at least a year, but its leaders hope it will help
As the debate about Human-Animal Chimera’s heats up, you won’t find a more immensely qualified, informed or fascinating source of expertise than Thomas Horn, internationally known author, lecturer and researcher.
During your interview with Tom Horn, he can share with you and your audience revealing insight into this looming topic, as Tom will explore with you the emergingfields of science and transhumanism which, he says, will redefine what it means to be human in the near future.
And in addition to the bioethics questions, Tom is also a scholar of ancient and Biblical History. He sees in this science something that could be explosively prophetic. A repeat of what the ancient Watchers did in crossing the species barrier, giving birth to the ancient Nephilim giants.
Are the Bible’s giants set to return? Are scientists opening a door to more than a biological nightmare? Are secret military labs already creating fully grown human-animal chimera’s? Did the Bible and other ancient texts prophecy this moment for the End Times?
Call Special Guests and schedule an interview with the captivating Tom Horn today.
