Given enough readers, this book could save the country.,
By gordon@harborside.com (Port Orford, Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve (Paperback)
"The Creature from Jekyll Island" shows you the greatest fraud in history: the Federal Reserve System. You will read what it has let its creators do to our country. And you will learn how we, the people, can get rid of it. "Creature" says what many Washington and Wall Street insiders know, but would never say: that through the Federal Reserve System, powerful men use inflation to rob us blind. G. Edward Griffin does not stop there. He visits remote continents and distant times to show how rulers have used their control of money to control their peoples. And, he relates how, at considerable risk and cost, Andrew Jackson returned to our people a great deal of economic freedom by refusing to renew the charter of the Second Bank of the United States. This book's information shines a light on current events that is stark, strong, and new. It will affect not merely how you see financial or business news, but all sorts of news relating to domestic and foreign developments. You will understand much more about the "New World Order," the Kyoto "Global Warming" treaty, the latest adjustment of Federal Reserve interest rates, and why your children's history textbooks leave out so much. You may find yourself discussing this book with your friends and neighbors. You may change your political registration. You may even try to elect candidates whose ideas reflect knowledge of the history Mr. Griffin describes. Do yourself a favor: please read this book.

Q: What in the world is "fractional reserve fiat money"?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve (Paperback)
A: Your bank account. I learned more about money from this book than I have in business school. Our present monetary system has no backing but the faith of those holding the currency. Did you know that every dollar you "own" was "borrowed" from the Federal Reserve, and if the US ever repays this debt that all US money will vanish? The book is fascinating and eye opening. It paints a clear picture that via the Federal Reserve, the US has the ability to raise unlimited funds without taxation. Further, this is the third US "central bank", the other two failed miserably while creating a convenient means for funding wars. The book has several chapters of pure speculation that offer some insight but tend to distract from the otherwise fascinating facts. Because of these chapters (which can be easily skipped) I give the book an 8. This book has done more to influence my opinion of the US monetary system than anything else I have read. This should be required reading for all Americans.

This book is timeless...,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve (Paperback)
Imagine, a conspiracy of the 'super rich', who create money "out of thin air", and then charge you interest on that money, while at the same time creating a law that holds the taxpayer responsibile for the defaults!! Sound good so far? But wait, there is more. They also create Foundations to protect their wealth from the Income Tax, while you pay their portion of the tax and they spend theirs without penalty.But wait, there is still more. When the money supply dwindles because the Gov't eats too much of it, why they just print more and call it inflation, and you pay for it, not because the price went up but the value of the currency went down. The Federal Reserve is not Federal, nor is it a Reserve.Its private !!!
