The Federal Reserve, often perceived as a government institution, was actually formed through a secretive plot by influential bankers over a century ago. Its creation followed the financial turmoil of early 1900s America, particularly the banking panic of 1907, which served as a pivotal moment that showcased the need for a centralized banking system. The meeting at Jekyll Island in 1910, involving key figures like Senator Nelson Aldrich and powerful banking executives, solidified plans for establishing a central bank to address economic instability. Though portrayed as a solution to banking crises, the Federal Reserve fundamentally operates as a compilation of banking interests, often referred to as a banking cartel. This organization holds the authority to issue currency and influence interest rates, ultimately aligning its operations with the interests of the elite banking class rather than serving the public. Despite its claims of independence, the Federal Reserve is heavily intertwined with the political landscape, protecting banking interests while avoiding scrutiny. This complex organization continues to provoke discussions regarding its role and impact on the American economy, as many remain ignorant of its true operations and implications.
