The name “Federal Reserve” is one of the biggest scams in American history. Slap the word “federal” on something, and suddenly people assume it’s part of their government, operating in their interest. But the truth is, the Federal Reserve is a cartel of private banks masquerading as a public institution. It’s no more “federal” than Federal Express. This sleight of hand has allowed the Fed to embed itself at the very core of our financial system while hiding behind a false image of legitimacy.
What most people don’t realize is that the Fed was created in 1913 in a backroom deal between bankers and politicians at Jekyll Island. The men who designed it weren’t working for the American people—they were working for Wall Street and global finance. By centralizing the power to print money and control interest rates, the Fed handed private bankers a monopoly over the lifeblood of the economy. And ever since, they’ve been skimming off the top, pulling strings in the shadows, and using their control of money supply as a weapon.
If the Fed truly served the public, its actions would be transparent, its decision-makers accountable. Instead, it operates in secrecy. Meetings behind closed doors. No real audits. Policy decisions that can swing trillions of dollars are made without voters having a single say. And who benefits? The very institutions that own stock in the Federal Reserve Banks. Yes—private banks literally hold shares in this so-called “federal” institution and collect dividends from it. It’s a neat little racket: heads they win, tails we lose.
Meanwhile, ordinary Americans suffer under the consequences of their policies. Inflation eats away at wages, bubbles are inflated and burst, and the national debt explodes—all while the Fed prints money out of thin air to bail out the same financial elites who caused the crises in the first place. They’ve turned the dollar into a debt-based currency, ensuring that we’re chained to perpetual borrowing and interest payments. It’s financial slavery disguised as “stability.”
The Federal Reserve isn’t some noble institution steering the economy for the greater good. It’s a private power center, rigged for the benefit of bankers and billionaires. By controlling money itself, they control everything else—politics, markets, and even our personal lives. Until the illusion is shattered and people realize the Fed is not “federal” at all, the corruption will continue unchecked. The fox isn’t just guarding the henhouse—it owns the henhouse outright.
