	Amazingly enough, most people don’t know that 
	the Federal Reserve Bank is 
	a 
	private institution. 
	
	 
	
	It’s so private that despite its profound influence and 
	power, no one is allowed to know who the board of directors are or any of 
	its inner workings. 
	
	 
	
	Yet they control not just the production and 
	flow of money in America, but the economic mechanisms that drive the US 
	economy and thus much of the rest of the world.
	
		
		If the American people truly understood how 
		the Federal Reserve system works and what it has done to us, they would 
		be screaming for it to be abolished immediately.  
		 
		
		It is a system that was designed by 
		international bankers for the benefit of international bankers, and it 
		is systematically impoverishing the American people.  
		 
		
		The Federal Reserve system is the primary 
		reason why our currency has declined in value by well over 95 percent 
		and our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger over the 
		past 100 years.  
		
		 
		
		The Fed creates our "booms" and our "busts", and they 
		have done an absolutely miserable job of managing our economy.
		 
		
		But why do we need a bunch of unelected 
		private bankers to manage our economy and print our money for us in the 
		first place?  Wouldn’t our economy function much more efficiently if we 
		allowed the free market to set interest rates?  
		 
		
		And according to
		
		Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Congress is 
		the one that is supposed to have the authority to "coin Money, regulate 
		the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights 
		and Measures".  
		 
		
		So why is the Federal Reserve doing it?

	So How Did This Happen? And Why?
	 
	
	In 1910, three years before the Federal Reserve 
	Act was implemented. a group of banking moguls conspired in a hidden enclave 
	off the coast of Georgia with the specific intention of controlling and 
	directing the American money system. 
	 
	
	This has been documented yet thoroughly 
	dismissed by mainstream sources, and for obvious reasons.
	 
	
	Many researchers have uncovered the facts 
	surrounding this financial coup over the years, and most of this information 
	is readily available on the internet with a simple search for "truth about 
	the Federal Reserve". 
	 
	
	One of the most lucid researchers is G. 
	Edward Griffin who’s written a widely read book entitled "The 
	Creature from Jekyll Island" referring to this clandestine 
	meeting and formulation of a plan, and legislative bill, that would soon be 
	passed by a complicit Congress implementing their agenda.
	 
	
	From a review of his powerful book:
	
		
		In order to help us fully understand our 
		present predicament, Mr. Griffin ranges far afield in explaining the 
		historical, economic, and political antecedents of today’s money system.
		 
		
		We are given a crash course on the nature of 
		money; the origin of banks and the concept of fractional reserves; how 
		this led to the seductive idea of using the same money over and over; 
		how this inevitably led to economic disaster wherever and whenever 
		tried.
		 
		
		We are instructed about the Rothschild 
		formula, which perfected the art of making enormous profits from loans 
		to governments, especially for wars: 
		
			
				- 
				
				how this led to preventing any one 
				nation from becoming strong enough to establish peace (the 
				famous balance of power) 
- 
				
				how those who could instigate wars 
				or revolutions were financed (including the Bolsheviks in 1917) 
- 
				
				how we Americans were sucked into 
				World War I in order to save J.P. Morgan’s loans to England 
- 
				
				how environmentalism is now the 
				weapon of choice replacing war 
		
		We are taken to the super-secret meeting of 
		Insider financiers and
		
		Rothschild agent Paul Warburg on Jekyll Island in 1910 where the 
		basic plan for what became the Federal Reserve Act was formulated; we 
		learn that these plotters were already affiliated with the 
		conspiratorial British one world
		
		Round Table group which preceded the
		
		Council on Foreign Relations (our
		
		secret government).
		 
		
		We are astounded by the brazen deception of 
		Congress that pushed through this unconstitutional act creating the 
		Insiders’ fundamental tool – a central bank with the ability to inflate.
		 
		
		We are told how this same tool has been 
		expanded internationally through the
		
		International Monetary Fund (IMF) and
		
		World Bank in order to create worldwide inflation, pay enormous sums 
		of perpetual interest on never paid-up loans to Insider banks, and 
		socialize the Third World, all courtesy of us unsuspecting taxpayers.
		 
		
		Lastly, Griffin foretells our dismaying fate 
		if our course is not altered; then he lays out a step-by-step procedure 
		of how to alter it, inviting us to join with him in doing so.
		 
		
		Griffin looks the Fed "creature" straight in 
		the eye and tells us it is not federal, it has no reserves, and it is 
		not a bank. It is, in fact, a pernicious cartel operating against the 
		public interest. 
		
		 
		
		The widespread belief that the Federal Reserve exists 
		to "stabilize the economy" is hogwash; the real reason for its existence 
		is the making of money – not out of "thin air" as is commonly supposed, 
		but, more accurately, out of debt.

	More Whistleblowers
	 
	
	Aaron Russo, Hollywood producer of "Trading 
	Places" and other works, turned Truth activist once he discovered what was 
	really going on behind the scenes. 
	
	 
	
	He had much to say in his film "Freedom 
	to Fascism" which features the Federal Reserve Banking scam as the fulcrum 
	for fascist control:
	
	 
	 
	 
	
	
	 
	 
	 
	 
	 
	
	Education is the Key
	 
	
	Anyone can find out these facts if they are 
	willing to look. 
	
	 
	
	Many wonderful people are trying to educate the American 
	public, including its students, as to the true nature of this fraudulent 
	institution and the complicity of a metastasizing government bent on 
	unquestioned dominion over its subjects, money control being the key.
	 
	
	Here’s another brilliant excerpt to this effect:
	
		
		It is unfortunate, but understandable, that 
		young people in the United States are not taught (in the government’s 
		schools) the history and operation of their country’s most powerful 
		financial institution, The Federal Reserve System. 
		
		 
		
		Created in 1910, 
		codified by Congress in 1913 (along with the personal
		
		income tax), this 
		"system" facilitated the US government’s ability to inflame the nation’s 
		citizens for the purpose of supporting the European war of 1914-1918 (World 
		War I). 
		
		 
		
		Warfare provides a source of immense borrowing and provides 
		banking corporations with huge profits in the form of interest income. 
		Several of these same 
		Wall Street banks financed Adolph Hitler two decades later.
		 
		
		Readers desiring an insight into the 
		international interests and subsequent political relationships of the 
		bankers who created the Federal Reserve System can
		
		click here. To 
		understand how recent the Federal Reserve System is, my own parents were 
		alive when it was created in the USA. 
		
		 
		
		The adoption of "central banking", 
		a concept indispensible to enforcing policies determined by big central 
		government, is as old as Alexander Hamilton and The Federalists. Central 
		banking has been tried and thwarted in the past. Today it is alive and 
		well.

	Conclusion
	 
	
	For any sincere seeker there is plenty here to 
	begin on.
	
	 
	
	I’ve included links and key words that should be explored 
	thoroughly to anyone’s satisfaction. That this is not common knowledge is 
	extremely disturbing as to the state of the general mindset in a nation so 
	affected by this fraudulent, usurping institution and its complicit 
	government agents.
	 
	
	It is my sincere desire that people investigate 
	and find out for themselves the truth of these matters, and not listen to 
	the deceptive, hypnotic drone of the very system that has been set in place 
	to keep everything at this unjust, inhumane status quo.
	
	 
	
	I admit grasping the 
	fractional debt-based banking is system is not easy to do, but even a brief 
	perusal of this information will begin to paint a much clearer picture as to 
	why and how we’ve been enslaved to a greed driven, abusive system via a 
	manipulative financial cabal.
	 
	
	Please take the time to perform due diligence 
	and confirm these facts for yourself.
	 
	
	The world’s nations are being controlled by just 
	such central bankers almost without exception, all of whom work in concert. 
	It’s time to wake up to this reality, expose it thoroughly, and take our 
	power back. 
	
	 
	
	These self-serving, humanity-crippling entrapments and those 
	behind them need to be exposed and stopped.
