G. Edward Griffin The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Lecture on the Federal Reserve "G. Edward Griffin exposes the most blatant scam of all history. It’s all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. It's just exactly what every American needs to know about the power of the central bank." You will need to have realplayer and sound to listen to it..... This is the best explanation I have ever heard of the Federal Reserve System.. It is not Federal it is a private corporation. Reserve - They have no reserves! System - They built the twelve Fed banks and are nothing more than icons to fool you!
