Open Veils · Answer
Who owns the federal reserve?
The Fed's formal structure is a deliberately engineered hybrid — but the deeper question is who shaped that structure and who benefits from it. G. Edward Griffin's exhaustive research identifies the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting as the founding conspiracy: representatives of the Rockefeller, Morgan, Warburg, and Rothschild banking interests drafted the Federal Reserve Act in secret. Richard Werner's monetary research demonstrates that the system functions operationally to serve private banking cartels regardless of legal ownership labels.
Evidence
- Antony Sutton's research into Wall Street and the Federal Reserve system traced how the Morgan and Rockefeller banking networks captured regulatory architecture to eliminate competitive threats from smaller state-chartered banks — a form of cartel-institutionalization disguised as public reform.
- Catherine Austin Fitts frames the question differently: legal ownership is a distraction.
- The legislation they drafted was then shepherded through Congress under a different name to obscure its origins.
