I just finished the book, “The Creature from Jekyll Island”, by G. Edward Griffin.

The book is about the creation of the Federal Reserve, how it was done in secret and how the 1912 Presidential election of Woodrow Wilson was basically rigged because he supported passing the bill that created the Federal Reserve.

The book also goes into great detail about fiat money, central banks throughout history, and their role in wars, economic depressions, etc.

In the end he lays out his ideas on ending the Federal Reserve and how to convert back to a gold/silver based money.

If you haven’t already read the book, it’s long almost 600 pages but it’s worth the time if you interested in how screwed we are by the Federal Reserve.

That book is bogus. It's 99% lies.

The links below will give you a start at understanding this. Dig into the ownership and control of the Federal Reserve system. Who makes up the Board of directors, etc, and it will become apparent that the book "creature from Jekyll island" is hogwash.

The second link below, has links to 10 different myths promoted by the book, each of which is debunked in turn.

Myth #1: The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 was crafted by Wall Street bankers and a few senators in a secret meeting.
