The real answer to this question is that the Federal Reserve is like a big Mafia loan shark. It owns America in the same way a loan shark owns his "clients!" There is absolutely no difference between the two, according to author Jim Marrs' 1990 book, Crossfire.

No matter what the situation, whenever there is news related to the Federal Reserve, a big, loud coordinated, conspiratorial lie of omission is committed by every single news outlet in our nation.

What is this lie? It is keeping up the false impression that the Federal Reserve is part of our government. "The Fed," as it is sometimes called, is a private for-profit bank that controls our government and our economy. They control the money supply, inflation, depressions, recessions, etc.

They are not accountable to Congress, the Executive branch or anyone in government.

That's why this man's name alone, Alan Greenspan, former chairman of the Federal Reserve, commands such attention in the media and on Wall Street. Greenspan "winks," and America shakes. Greenspan "smiles," and investors go wild.

Since most citizens, taxpayers and voters don't follow the tedious details of economics ? public or private ? our founding fathers were hoodwinked before they framed the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.

What country in its right mind would create a system that would force it to lend itself money and have to repay the money with INTEREST? What country would charge itself interest?

What nation would put itself out of business by making it bankrupt because of interest?

The answer is none!

America is not charging itself interest on its debt. The privately owned "central bankers" are doing this and they are hiding in plain sight!

Congress (with the exception Congressman Ron Paul of Texas), every U.S. president and every single member of the corporate media are either part of the conspiracy or just plain stupid!

Two presidents tried to stop this outrage ? and they were both assassinated.
