first misconception that most people have is that the Federal Reserve Bank is a branch of the US government. IT IS NOT. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK IS A PRIVATE COMPANY. Most people believe it is as American as the Constitution.

The federal reserve bank is not a private company, it is a intermediate entity that is considered a government entity for some purposes and not a government entity for others. Furthermore, the Federal Reserve board of governors IS a federal agency. The Federal Reserve board of governors has a controlling interest in the Federal Reserve Bank.

THE FACT IS THE CONSTITUTION FORBIDS IT'S EXISTENCE. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to create money and regulate the value thereof, NOT A BUNCH OF INTERNATIONAL BANKERS! Today the FED controls and profits by printing WORTHLESS PAPER, called money, through the Treasury, regulating its value, AND THE BIGGEST OUTRAGE OF ALL, COLLECTING INTEREST ON IT! (THE SO-CALLED NATIONAL DEBT).

This part shows a complete lack of understanding of what the Constitution does and does not say. It is true that Article 1 Section 8 of the constitution gives the power to Congress to "coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures" but to believe that Congress cannot delegate this authority to a government agency(which in this case is the federal reserve board of governors) is to believe that only Congress itself can print money, hell, if you believe the article's reading of the Constitution, literally Congressmen have to be the ones printing federal currency, there could be no Department of the Treasury responsible for even printing the money, afterall that authority only rests with Congress.

Other clauses of Article 1 would be rendered equally ridiculous, "to promote the progress of science and the useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries." So only the US Congress can issue patents? Is that really what you believe? The framers wanted the US Congress itself to run the patent office? That's the kind of result the article's analysis would lead to.

The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners, stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per share - the stock is not publicly traded) in the Federal Reserve Banking System. They make up an international banking cartel of wealth beyond comparison.

The Fed began with a bunch of people that were owners of the regional banks, this is true, but who do you think is the overall owner of the bank that they all report to? That would be the Federal Reserve board of governors, a federal agency made up of presidential appointees in the same way that the Department of the Treasury or the Department of Energy is headed a federal appointee.

The FED banking system collects billions of dollars in interest annually and distributes the profits to its shareholders. The Congress illegally gave the FED the right to print money through the Treasury at no interest to the FED.

So your argument is that the US Congress illegally gave the Fed the ability to print money. So again, your argument is that the Congress cannot delegate the functions of Article 1, Section 8, must personally print all money, must personally issue all patents, etc., etc. Got it.
Yes, the Federal Reserve distributes dividends to shareholders. The amount of these distributions are a fraction of the amount of money that is leant, the majority goes toward operating expenses and lending the money out again to keep the currency circulating. The amount of dividend payments is not secret and is published each year in the annual report of the Fed(see below also).

The FED creates money from nothing, and loans it back to us through banks, and charges interest on our currency. The FED also buys Government debt with money printed on a printing press and charges U.S. taxpayers interest. Many Congressmen and Presidents say this is fraud. Who actually owns the Federal Reserve Central Banks? The ownership of the 12 Central banks, a very well kept secret, has been revealed: 1. Rothschild Bank of London 2. Warburg Bank of Hamburg 3. Rothschild Bank of Berlin 4. Lehman Brothers of New York 5. Lazard Brothers of Paris 6. Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York 7. Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy 8. Goldman, Sachs of New York 9. Warburg Bank of Amsterdam 10. Chase Manhattan Bank of New York.

Please provide a source on this ownership of the federal reserve regional banks. Also interesting that #4 is Lehman Brothers of New York, for all the power and influence the Federal Reserve has, it couldn't keep one of the 10 conspiracy theory owners from going belly up it seems.

These bankers are connected to London Banking Houses which ultimately control the FED. When England lost the Revolutionary War with America where our forefathers were fighting their own government, they planned to control us by controlling our banking system, the printing of our money, and our debt. The individuals listed below owned banks which in turn owned shares in the FED. The banks listed below have significant control over the New York FED District, which controls the other 11 FED Districts. These banks also are partly foreign owned and control the New York FED District Bank: First National Bank of New York, James Stillman National City Bank, New York, Mary W. Harnman, National Bank of Commerce, New York, A.D. Jiullard Hanover, National Bank, New York, Jacob Schiff, Chase National Bank, New York, Thomas F. Ryan, Paul Warburg, William Rockefeller, Levi P. Morton, M.T. Pyne, George F. Baker, Percy Pyne, Mrs. G.F. St. George, J.W. Sterling, Katherine St. George, H.P. Davidson, J.P. Morgan (Equitable Life/Mutual Life), Edith Brevour, T. Baker.

So wait, JP Morgan Chase is owned secretly by a London Banking House? That's your argument?

Furthermore, the New York Fed district does not control the 11 Fed districts, the 12 Fed districts answer to the Federal Reserve board of governors, which is again, a federal agency.

How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a group of bankers funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, a Senator, Nelson Aldrich, maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation.

The Aldrich plan was rejected. The Aldrich plan would have actually been like the system you think exists, but we don't have that instead we have the Federal Reserve System which is headed by a government agency, the Federal Reserve Board of Governors.

Also, Aldrich a maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers? So? His daughter married a Rockefeller, and their son was Nelson Rockefeller, Gerald Ford’s running mate. I fail to see what that has to do with anything, especially since Aldrich’s plan was rejected.

When elected, Wilson passed the FED. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied, referring to the FED, "I have unwittingly ruined my country". Now the banks financially back sympathetic candidates. Not surprisingly, most of these candidates are elected.

Source on this quotation, along with context please.

The bankers employ members of the Congress on weekends (nickname T&T club -out Thursday...in Tuesday with lucrative salaries. Additionally, the FED started buying up the media in the 1930's and now owns or significantly influences most of it.

Source on this.

Presidents Lincoln, Jackson, and Kennedy tried to stop this family of bankers by printing U.S. dollars without charging the taxpayers interest.

Source. And also what does this mean? Where is the interesting being charged on the money being printed by the US treasury. Or do you mean because downstream the banks charge interest on money that is lent to people?

Today, if the government runs a deficit, the FED prints dollars through the U.S. Treasury, buys the debt, and the dollars are circulated into the economy.

That’s not how debt financing of the federal debt works at all. The government instead issues bonds which are paid out in US currency; they don’t just print money to pay for the deficit. It is true that bonds devalue the currency by paying out interest at a later time, but how do you think companies pay for stuff? How do you think other governments pay for their deficits?

In 1992, taxpayers paid the FED banking system $286 billion in interest on debt the FED purchased by printing money virtually cost free. Forty percent of our personal federal income taxes goes to pay this interest.

And where do you think that interest payment goes? You seem to think the majority of it goes into the pockets of the bankers, when in fact the vast majority of it goes back to lending money to others banks, who in turn lend the money to consumers. How do we know this? Because the amount is listed in the annual report and this amount was set by the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913. As for the amount of this dividend payment, it was 3% of the amount of interest paid by the Federal Reserve to the US Treasury in interest payments.

The FED's books are not open to the public. Congress has yet to audit it. Congressman Wright Patman was Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years. For 20 of those years, he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.
Congressman Henry Gonzales, Chairman of a banking committee, introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913 almost every year. It's always defeated, the media remains silent, and the public never learns the truth. The same bankers who own the FED control the media and give huge political contributions to sympathetic members of Congress.

What do you mean Congress has yet to audit it? The GAO(an arm of the US Congress) audits the Federal Reserve banks all the time. Or are you specifically referring to Congress itself. So who do you suppose would conduct this audit if not the Government Accountability Office, do individual members of Congress have to do it themselves to satisfy you?

THE FED FEARS THE POPULATION WILL BECOME AWARE OF THIS FRAUD AND DEMAND CHANGE. We, the People, are at fault for being passive and allowing this to continue. THE FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD, A GOVERNMENT BOARD, HAS CHEATED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OUT OF ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT SEVERAL TIMES OVER.

Oh, so now it is admitted that the Federal Reserve board is a government board. This paragraph seems to insinuate that this government entity is the one really in charge of the monetary policy, so then what is the point of the first paragraph which states the federal reserve bank is a private company, who cares if the bank is a private company(which it is actually is not fully) if the controlling party is the government.

The depredations and the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks acting together have cost this country dearly.
They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; the rich and predatory money lenders. This is an era of economic misery and for the reasons that caused that misery, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks are fully liable. Half a million dollars was spent on one part of propaganda organized by those same European bankers for the purpose of misleading public opinion in regard to the Federal Reserve Bank.

Source on this(the propaganda thing).

Every effort has been made by the Federal Reserve Board to conceal its power but the truth is the Federal Reserve Board has USURPED THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES. IT CONTROLS EVERYTHING HERE AND IT CONTROLS ALL OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS. IT MAKES AND BREAKS GOVERNMENTS AT WILL. No man and no body of men is more entrenched in power than the arrogant credit monopoly which operates the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks. These evil-doers have robbed this country. What the Government has permitted the Federal Reserve Board to steal from the people should now be restored to the people.

There’s not actually a single fact in this paragraph to respond to.

Our people's money to the extent of $1,200,000,000 has within the last few months been shipped abroad to redeem Federal Reserve Notes and to pay other gambling debts of the traitorous Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks.

I’m not sure what this is supposed to mean? Is this referring to the national debt being financed by foreigners through the purchase of US treasury notes? Is so what does the Fed have to do with this, would the US not print treasury notes if the Fed didn’t exist? Would they not try to sell them to foreigners?

The greater part of our monetary stock has been shipped to foreigners. Why should we promise to pay the debts of foreigners to foreigners? Why should American Farmers and wage earners add millions of foreigners to the number of their dependents? Why should the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve banks be permitted to finance our competitors in all parts of the world? The Federal Reserve Act should be repealed and the Federal Reserve banks, having violated their charters, should be liquidated immediately. FAITHLESS GOVERNMENT OFFICERS WHO HAVE VIOLATED THEIR OATHS SHOULD BE IMPEACHED AND BROUGHT TO TRIAL.

Ummm, what? The Federal Reserve sells treasury notes, yes. Who do you suppose they should sell them to? Only Americans? What if there are not enough American buyers, then what? Should the US just go bankrupt? I fail to see how the US deficit spending and needing to finance its debts is the Fed’s fault. Its not as if they just sell treasuries to sell treasuries. They do it to raise money.

If the media is unbiased, independent and completely thorough, why haven't they discussed the FED? Currently, half the states have at least a grass roots movement in action to abolish the FED, but there's no press coverage. In July, 1968, the House Banking Subcommittee reported that Rockefeller, through Chase Manhattan Bank, controlled 5.9% of the stock in CBS. Furthermore, the bank had gained interlocking directorates with ABC.
In 1974, Congress issued a report stating that the Chase Manhattan Bank's stake in CBS rose to 14.1% and NBC to 4.5%. The same report said that the Chase Manhattan Bank held stock in 28 broadcasting firms. After this report, the Chase Manhattan Bank obtained 6.7% of ABC, and today the percentage is most likely much greater. It only requires 5% ownership to significantly influence the media .

Where do you get that it only takes a 5% ownership interest to significantly influence the media? How exactly is someone with 5% of a company going to influence anything directly. Yes they have a significant voting share to potentially elect members of the Board of Directors, maybe. But please show me proof of story suppression by the Board of Directors of a media corporation with regard to Federal Banking, if something like that happened, you can be sure other media outlets would run with it, they aren’t all run by banking interests(if any of them are at all really).

This is only one of 300 wealthy shareholders of the FED. It is believed other FED owners have similar holdings in the media. To control the media, FED bankers call in their loans if the media disagrees with them.

Call in their loans to whom? They call in the loans that media companies have made? What evidence do you have of this being done or even threatened? How would they even call in a paid as agreed loan?

Rockefeller also controls the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), the sole purpose of which is to aid in stimulating greater interest in foreign affairs and a one world government. Nearly every major newscaster belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations. The Council on Foreign Relations controls many major newspapers and magazines. Additionally, major corporations owned by FED shareholders are the source of huge advertising revenues which surely would influence the media.

Conjecture without proof is just that, conjecture. What proof do you have that the media is being manipulated by the Fed? Either individuals or entire newsrooms.

Every day I hear people complaining about what they don't like about our government and media, but not one of them are willing to put forth an effort to try and change it, especially when it comes to their personal lives. We are as much a slave on a personal level, as our government is to the international bankers. We keep right on using the tool they put out here to control us, ************, and we are imprisoned by it. We are no longer willing to save up to buy something, we have to have it right now, so the Government has made it easy to have what you want without the having to save for it, (CREDIT).
Don't you think it funny that in a land with so much wealth, only 2 PERCENT of the people own their homes? (CREDIT). Do you know 60 PERCENT of Americans have at least 3 ************ used to it's maximum? (CREDIT). Do you know that only 1 PERCENT of the people have their car paid for? (CREDIT). To be free, you must throw away your ************, and NEVER buy anything that you cannot afford at the moment of purchase. We will never be a free people until we rid ourselves of the burden placed here to control us, and when we stop renting from the powers, the power will cease to exist.

Americans are not savers, okay? So what? How is that the banker’s fault? No one forces Americans to buy things on credit. No one forces Americans to live outside of them means. You seem to think this is some great conspiracy of the bankers of the world to make Americans spend money, you have personal choice, if you can’t afford something, don’t buy it.


There, are you happy now?
