[quote=pri_dk]C’mon, we know the Fed is about bigger things than money and banking.
Story of the Fed:
It’s a secret conspiracy of bankers with the purpose of becoming the richest and most powerful men in the world.
They hatched their plan in 1913, but in order to keep it a secret, they didn’t move on it right away.
They quietly waited, allowing others to become fabulously wealthy, so as not to reveal that bankers were really pulling the strings.
So the decades passed, and while men like Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, Getty, DuPont, Hughes, Sloan, and Gates amassed more wealth than anyone, the bankers kept a low profile.
Although the banker’s plan was to ultimately destroy the US economy, they first let it grow faster than any in history, decade after decade, so that their intentions could be kept hidden.
But now the trap is sprung! The conspirators of 1913 will now destroy the economy and take over the world.[/quote]
Cute. Answer me this, why has the organization that controls the money in the US never been audited to see who owns what and who is making money off of the selling of our money? Griffin does say that socialists in league with the money cartel have been slowly creeping toward a one world money supply. Do you think that that is ridiculous looking at US history from the civil war era to Obama and the progression towards bigger government? I won’t argue that it does seem like a stretch but look at the arguments of socialism and Karl Marx. All I have heard from davlj and allen from fallbrook is griffin is wrong, he isn’t an accountant or an economist, he is a conspiracy guy, I haven’t proven my case by only quoting his book when I am just asking for details on why they think he is wrong, they quote the fed for a definition on the fed,… Can you provide details on why griffin is wrong? I’m not being a smart butt; I would like to hear intelligent rebuttals. Don’t forget, the fed is the forth central bank in the US, modeled after the bank of England. Jefferson and Andrew Jackson were both adamantly opposed to central banks and our constitution says that our money should be based on silver and gold. Oh, I forgot, there isn’t enough financial incentive in controlling the money supply of the US to warrant a serious enough threat of a conspiracy.One thing that griffin does say that makes sense to me is that the founders of the fed wanted the fed to protect their big banks from runs on the bank and to give themselves an edge over smaller banks. You make it sound stupid but isn’t there history of big business wanting to consolidate toward monopolies for increasing profits? The money supply is the biggest business in the world. Oh, sorry again. It isn’t enough incentive.
