Most Americans believe the Federal Reserve is a government agency. In reality, the Federal Reserve is a secretive group of private banks, run by unelected officials, which lends the American government unbacked money that they are allowed to essentially print out of thin air, making each dollar in their pocket worth less all the time, and increasing America's national debt to these banks.
What The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 did was give this private banking cartel total monopoly over America's money supply, which amounts to nothing less than a complete handover of ownership of national government to private bankers; and they have owned it ever since.
We would argue that the single greatest threat to the United States of America today is not someone hiding in a cave over in Afghanistan, but our own fiscal irresponsibility by not freeing itself from the type of hegemonic control the Federal Reserve system has over America's economic and political landscape.
