Many people aren't aware that the only thing Federal about the Federal Reserve is the name... Are you?

Kudos to you!

I suspect you're the exception, rather than the rule

People also thought Fannie and Freddie were part of the government. Well they are now but they didn't use to be. The word "Federal" in a title throws people off. I always wondered if that was intentional.

It was indeed intentional. The bankers who pushed the Fed through the Congress, had tried to push it through under differnet names, such as 'Central Bank Of US' , but it was always rejected by Congress because they had had very experiences with the two disasterous central banks in the past. So, they tried it with the name Federal Reserve System, and the bill passed. The only thing they changed was the name, while the bill itself was the same as before.

The Fed does have connections to the federal government. How else would they have access to tax-money?

Of course they have "connections" ... The US government is their biggest customer... BUT they hold no authority over those involved or the decisions made by the "Federal Reserve"... Decisions that GREATLY effect our monetary system and overall economic solvency...

They control the nations money supply which makes it unconstitutional. The Constitution dictates that is a duty of the Congress.

If you look into the history of the Fed, you should also look in to the history of the CFR=Council on Foreign Relations. Both were created by the same group of people, with the same goals in mind.

Who said "give me the control of the nations money, and I don't care who makes the laws"?

Of course now that they have both the Fed and the CFR, they control the money supply AND those who make the laws.

Nothing is as it seems!!! The IRS is run by the Bilderberger group, and Fort Knox has been handed over to the Rothschilds...
