The Creature From Jekyll Island: Book Review

Never before has a book had such a profound effect on my way of thinking and my perception of the world we live in.

The book is a fascinating journey through history, outlining how the role of banking, money, and powerful individuals have influenced events and outcomes. G. Edward Griffin makes a very compelling case for abolishing the federal reserve entirely.

Briefly: If you want to know who is really in charge of nations, if you want to know who has influenced our leaders to make the decisions they do, if you want to discover the truth about how our money system really works and who benefits/loses as a result, if you want to discover the true motives behind monumental events in American history such as the Great Depression and World War I, and if you want to know and change what the future holds in store for this great nation and even the world, then READ THIS BOOK!

The seven reasons for abolishing the Fed are emphasized in this book. They are (from p588):

  1. The Fed is incapable of accomplishing its stated objectives
  2. The Fed is a cartel operating against the public interest
  3. The Fed is a supreme instrument of usury
  4. The Fed generates our most unfair tax [inflation]
  5. The Fed encourages war
  6. The Fed destabilizes the economy
  7. The Fed is an instrument of totalitarianism
Thus, it is my belief that abolishing the Fed could be the single most important step toward restoring liberty in America, and everyone would be well-served to read this book. Did I mention you should read this book?

Caution: Those who are 'awakened' are prone to never go to sleep again! :)
