"The people did not knowingly create the current banking system."

The People created a representative republic. By law The People have created everything the United States of America includes.

I have no problem with The People changing law. Note, that is The People, not The Judges, not the mob.

Yes, by law, the federal government created the Federal Reserve.

That's not my point.

My point is that the Federal Reserve (as created by law) is not controlled by the government. It's operations are controlled by New York banks, ultimately for their benefit.

The government (unwittingly) created the Federal Reserve, but doesn't control it, short of revoking its charter.
