>"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government of the U.S. since the days of Andrew Jackson."
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt in a letter written Nov. 21, 1933 to Colonel E. Mandell House

.

>“It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.”
Henry Ford

.

>"The drive of the Rockefellers and their allies is to create a one-world government combining super capitalism and Communism under the same tent, all under their control.... Do I mean conspiracy? Yes I do. I am convinced there is such a plot, international in scope, generations old in planning, and incredibly evil in intent."
Congressman Larry P. McDonald, 1976, killed in the Korean Airlines 747 that was shot down by the Soviets

.

>“Bankers own the earth; take it away from them but leave them with the power to create credit; and, with a flick of a pen, they will create enough money to buy it back again... If you want to be slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers control money and control credit.”
Sir Josiah Stamp, Director, Bank of England, 1940.


.... it's been going on a long time and some say the real tipping point began in 1910

The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve

It's not new, (2nd edition created after dot.com crash), but it puts our current crisis in it's proper historical perspective... definitely a must read.

>It was implemented because everything was a mess. Every bank had their own currency, and nobody knew what anything was worth, which created HUGE costs and inefficiencies.

False. YOU need to read up on the history of the Fed. It was NOT implemented to help the dollar or help the economy. It was to cartelize the banks and to ensure that they will always have a source of cash, even if it means to the detriment of the rest of the economy.

Read books dude, instead of making universal bullshit claims like "no anti-Fed person has EVER read up on the history of the fed".

Read What Has Government Done to Our Money?.

Read Mystery of Banking

Read The Creature from Jekyll Island

Read books and stop accusing anti-Fed people of not reading.

>nobody knew what anything was worth

Ya, the Fed sure fixed THAT problem, huh? hahaha

The Creature from Jekyll Island - Even at 600+ pages, it is the most thoroughly researched, well written book on money that I've ever read. Take your time with it. I assure you that by the end of the journey, you will have experienced a paradigm shift in thought.

I don't think you have an idea of history here. Read the book "the creature from jekyll island".

That book will explain to you the pains that were taken to ensure the federal reserve act was passed and who had interests in it and why.
