The Greatest Heist in the History of the World
For more than a century, the Federal Reserve has been sold as a neutral “stabilizer of markets” and “lender of last resort.” It’s nothing of the sort. The Fed violates Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution, which grants Congress alone the power to coin money and regulate its value. Yet since 1913, a private banking cartel has hijacked America’s currency—and killed to keep its monopoly.
The plan was hatched in secrecy on Jekyll Island in 1910 by six men who controlled a quarter of the world’s wealth. The Panic of 1907 that “justified” its creation was almost certainly engineered by the very bankers who swooped in as saviors. Their blueprint was rammed through Congress on December 23, 1913, while most representatives were home for Christmas. Even the 16th Amendment—used to impose income tax and funnel interest payments to the Fed—was never properly ratified by enough states.
Andrew Jackson saw this danger a century earlier, overtly declaring war against a central bank in the United States of America. He succeeded—for 77 years. But the bankers learned from their defeat. This time, they would be patient. This time, they would be ruthless.
The pattern is undeniable. In 1912, the Titanic sank, taking with it John Jacob Astor IV, Benjamin Guggenheim, and Isidor Straus—three of the wealthiest opponents of central banking. J.P. Morgan, who financed both the ship and the Fed, conveniently canceled his trip at the last minute. In 1963, John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110 to restore monetary power to the Treasury. Five months later, he was dead. Today, crypto pioneers like Nikolai Mushegian warn of intelligence-linked blackmail networks and turn up dead within hours.
Across every generation, the cycle repeats: engineered crises, assassinations, and “solutions” that consolidate control. They engineered the Great Depression, severed gold from the dollar, fueled perpetual war for profit, and designed a debt system where every dollar created requires more than a dollar to repay—a mathematical certainty of enslavement. Now, they’re rolling out CBDCs: programmable money that can be tracked, frozen, or expired at will.
This essay presents the evidence—from Vanderlip’s confession about Jekyll Island to Bernanke’s admission about the Fed’s Depression errors, from EO 11110 to Mushegian’s final tweet. The question is no longer whether the Fed is legal or moral. The question is whether we’ll allow their 111-year plan to end in permanent digital slavery—or whether crypto, state-level rebellions, and a mass awakening can finally break their grip.
The Fed isn’t just evil, it’s the greatest crime in American history.
Part I: The Fraudulent Formation of the Fed
Chapter 1: Jackson's War Against the Central Bank
In 1832, Andrew Jackson faced down the most powerful financial institution in America—the Second Bank of the United States—and won. "The bank is trying to kill me," Jackson declared, "but I will kill it!" This was no hyperbole. On January 30, 1835, Richard Lawrence aimed two pistols at Jackson's chest and pulled both triggers, but by an act of divine intervention both guns misfired—a probability statisticians calculate at 1 in 125,000. OG Andy beat the would-be assassin with his cane until bystanders intervened. What is quite curious about this assassination attempt is that Lawrence, of course labeled a paranoid looney by the media, claimed wealthy Europeans had promised to protect him if he killed Jackson and that he was owed a European inheritance but that Jackson’s destruction of the Second Bank of the United States had blocked him from receiving it. While there’s no concrete evidence that this assassination attempt was linked to an actual central bank conspiracy, Jackson himself suspected a political conspiracy—naming old enemies like John C. Calhoun and Senator George Poindexter, the latter of whom had employed Lawrence just months before the attempt (Lawrence literally painted Poindexter’s house a month before the butchered kill shot???!!!). Calhoun publicly denied involvement, and affidavits implicating Poindexter collapsed under scrutiny—but Jackson’s conviction that “powerful interests” tried to kill him stuck, setting the tone for how he framed his battle against centralized money and “monied interests.” Between Lawrence’s eerie claims and the fact that this unemployed lowlife just so happened to be playing buddy-buddy with a sitting senator forces any logical person to ask themselves, what are the odds that the first man to ever try to assassinate a U.S. president just so happened to be hanging around one of the most powerful senators in Washington? A morsel of independent thought might make you believe that “inheritance” may have been a euphemism for promised payment; his fixation on European bankers is consistent with Jackson’s own warnings about foreign money powers and even if Lawrence was unstable, that doesn’t exclude the possibility he was nudged, paid, or used by interests who wanted Jackson gone.
Jackson understood what modern Americans have forgotten: central banking is fundamentally about control, not stability. The Second Bank, like the Fed today, was a private corporation given monopoly power over public currency. It could create boom-bust cycles at will, choosing winners and losers, enriching allies and crushing enemies. Jackson called it a "hydra of corruption" and vetoed its recharter, declaring: "If Congress has the right to issue paper money, it was given to them to use by themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations."
By 1836, Jackson killed the bank. More remarkably, he'd done something no president before or since has ever accomplished: he paid off America's entire national debt. In January 1835, the United States was completely debt-free for the first and only time in its history. Jackson understood the trap—if all money is created as debt plus interest, but only the principal is ever created, where does the money to pay interest come from? It doesn't exist. The system mathematically guarantees perpetual debt slavery.
Jackson warned: "The bold efforts the present Bank has made to control the government... are but premonitions of the fate that awaits the American people should they perpetuate this institution." He saw clearly what modern Americans miss: when banks create money from nothing through fractional reserve lending—loaning out 9 times what they actually possess—and all money enters circulation as debt requiring interest, the result is designed scarcity. We're forced to compete for survival in a game where there's literally never enough money to pay all debts.
On his deathbed in 1845, Jackson named killing the bank his greatest accomplishment. For 77 years, America would remain free from central banking and, crucially, free from the debt trap. But the bankers learned from Jackson's victory. Next time, they would work in darkness. Next time, they would remove opposition before it could form. Next time, they would ensure America would never be debt-free again.
Chapter 2: The Panic of 1907— Crisis by Design (JP’s First Punch)
In October 1907, the American financial system collapsed overnight. The Knickerbocker Trust Company, New York’s third-largest trust, failed after rumors spread about its president’s role in a botched copper speculation. Bank runs erupted. The stock market lost nearly half its value. Credit froze. Panic gripped the nation.
Enter Mr. J.P. Morgan, the 70-year-old titan of Wall Street, who “single-handedly” saved the American economy from his private library. Morgan locked the nation’s leading bankers in his study—literally refusing to let them leave—until they agreed to his rescue plan. He decided which banks would live and which would die. The press hailed him as a hero. Congress demanded reform to prevent future crises.
But was Morgan the savior — or the stage manager? The copper scheme that set off the panic? Run by his rivals. The rumors that toppled Knickerbocker Trust? Circulated by his allies. The institutions that survived? Morgan’s friends. Those that failed? His competitors.
Frederick Allen, in his classic biography of Morgan, noted the suspiciously perfect timing: “The Panic of 1907 was a dress rehearsal for the Federal Reserve System.” Senator Robert Owen, co-sponsor of the Federal Reserve Act, went further: “The Panic was brought about by a deliberate conspiracy for the enrichment of those who engineered it.” “I think that panic was artificially created. I believe that that panic was brought about by a deliberate conspiracy, having for its purpose the enrichment of those who brought it about, and incidentally to use the panic for political purposes and suppress the progressive movement”. Command F 'artificial’ on that link^ and you’ll see that quote is indeed not artificial.
So yeah, the so-called cure for Wall Street’s conspiracy was to give Wall Street permanent control. And here’s the kicker: even though Owen knew the Panic was an “artificial and deliberate conspiracy", he just didn’t give a fuck – co-authoring the Fed into existence. That makes him either a naive jackass who actually thought the Fed would break up Wall Street dominance by creating regional reserve banks, or a duplicitous gangster who wanted to tell the American public the truth, while feeding the system he claimed to fight. In all likelihood, despite Owens’ better intentions of disseminating the truth about the engineered and conspiratorial nature of the Panic of 1907, he fed the Fed and the Fed fed him in a high stakes game of quid pro quo. Whether fully manufactured or merely exploited, the panic produced exactly what the bankers needed: public demand for a “solution.” And that solution—the Federal Reserve—was drafted by the very men who had profited from the chaos.
Chapter 3: The Titanic—Dead Men Tell No Tales (JP’s Second Punch)
On April 15, 1912, the RMS Titanic took 1,517 souls to the Atlantic floor. Among them were three of the wealthiest men in America and the three staunchest opponents of the Federal Reserve plan - which was then circulating through elite circles.
John Jacob Astor IV, worth $87 million (billions today), reportedly declared that central banking would "enslave the American people to the European model." The heir to America's first great fortune understood compound interest and debt-based currency.
Benjamin Guggenheim, the mining magnate, had refused participation in the growing banking consolidation. His family's fortune operated independently of Morgan's sphere.
Isidor Straus, co-owner of Macy's, allegedly opposed the creation of a central bank, believing it would concentrate too much power in too few hands.
Meanwhile, the men who would create the Federal Reserve survived or weren't aboard:
J.P. Morgan, who owned White Star Line (Titanic's parent company), canceled at the last minute, citing illness.
Paul Warburg, the Fed's architect, wasn't aboard despite frequently traveling that route.
Senator Nelson Aldrich, stayed in America.
Additional disturbing details: The ship was traveling at maximum speed through a known ice field. The SS Californian, just ten miles away, had inexplicably shut off its radio at 11:30pm minutes before Titanic’s distress calls began—and its crew allegedly watched multiple rockets rise into the night without taking action. And the cherry on top is that the ship's lifeboat count was reduced from 48 to 20 just days before launch because the deck would look “cluttered”. But that’s not all—curiously enough, the key to the binocular locker was missing, leaving the lookouts blind at the worst possible moment. And then there’s J. Bruce Ismay: the one senior White Star executive on board, a close associate, business partner and friend of J.P. Morgan himself, who somehow survived while the vast majority of men aboard perished. If anyone were positioned to orchestrate a disaster from the inside, it would be him.
Sooooo yeah… critics may dismiss all this as coincidence but take a step back… Morgan owned the Titanic and was supposed to be on it then inexplicably dipped out at the last minute. America’s three wealthiest alleged Fed opponents went down with the ship. The nearby vessel’s radio went dark. The Titanic pushed full throttle into ice. Lifeboats were cut, survival odds tanked—and the very next year the Federal Reserve was born, with Morgan sitting at the center of America’s new banking monopoly. As researcher John Hamer noted: "The Titanic was the vehicle which eliminated opposition to the Federal Reserve." Is the Titanic-Fed conspiracy theory speculative? Sure. But these eerie coincidences don’t just give the theory legs—they give it giant fucking wings. Whether you call it coincidence or conspiracy, the Titanic wasn’t just a shipwreck — it was the perfect prologue to the most significant banking coup in the history of the world.
Chapter 4: Jekyll Island—The Conspiracy Becomes Reality (JP’s Knockout Punch)
Two years before the doomed fate of the Titanic in November 1910, a private railroad car left Hoboken, New Jersey, under cover of darkness. Its passengers had been told to come one at a time, use only first names, and bring hunting gear as cover. Their destination: Jekyll Island, Georgia, a private resort owned by the world's richest men. Their mission: design America's central bank.
The six conspirators controlled an estimated quarter of the world's wealth:
Senator Nelson Aldrich – Republican leader, Rockefeller's father-in-law
Paul Warburg – Kuhn, Loeb & Co., representing Rothschild interests
Frank Vanderlip – President, National City Bank (now Citibank)
Henry Davison – Senior Partner, J.P. Morgan Company
Benjamin Strong – Head of Bankers Trust, later first Fed Chairman
A. Piatt Andrew – Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
For nine days, they crafted what would become the Federal Reserve System. Vanderlip would later confess in the Saturday Evening Post (1935): "There was an occasion, near the close of 1910, when I was as secretive—indeed, as furtive—as any conspirator... I do not feel it is any exaggeration to speak of our secret expedition to Jekyll Island as the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System."
The genius of their deception was multilayered. They called it "Federal" though it would be private. They called it a "Reserve" though it would create money from nothing. They designed twelve regional banks to appear decentralized while ensuring New York controlled everything. They avoided the word "bank" entirely, knowing Americans' hostility to central banking.
Most brilliantly, they initially opposed their own plan. Aldrich introduced it to Congress, and Warburg testified against it, calling it "insufficient." This theater convinced critics that if Wall Street opposed it, it must be good for the people. William Jennings Bryan, the populist hero who'd fought banking interests for decades, was fooled into supporting it. But not everyone in Congress was duped. Congressman Charles Lindbergh Sr. issued a fiery warning in 1913: “This act establishes the most gigantic trust on earth. When the President signs this act, the invisible government by the money power will be legalized. The worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill.”
On December 23, 1913, while most of Congress was home for Christmas, the Federal Reserve Act passed. President Wilson, who owed his election to banking interests, signed it immediately. Wilson would later be allegedly quoted, "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit."
The Financial Coup of the Century
From Jackson's war to the Titanic's sinking, from the engineered panic of 1907 to the secrecy of Jekyll Island, the pattern is unmistakable: crises, "coincidences," and covert operations paved the way for the greatest financial coup in American history. The Federal Reserve wasn't born through democratic debate or popular demand. It was smuggled into existence by a handful of men who understood that controlling money meant controlling the nation. The coup was complete. America's century of financial enslavement had begun.
Part II: Consolidation Through Crisis
The Great Depression, The Profit Machine, JFK, The Fiat Empire and Nixon’s Golden Break
If Part I was the heist, Part II is the consolidation. Once the Federal Reserve was smuggled into existence, the bankers didn't just sit back and collect interest. They weaponized every crisis—every panic, every war, every assassination—to expand their control. What emerged between 1913 and 1971 wasn't just a central bank, but the beating heart of a global empire.
Chapter 5: The Great Depression—The Fed's First Massacre
Sixteen years after its creation, the Federal Reserve faced its first real test — and deliberately failed it. Between 1929 and 1933, the Fed didn’t just mismanage the money supply; it weaponized it. While millions of Americans lost everything, a select few consolidated control over the nation’s financial system. This wasn’t incompetence. It was strategy.
The setup began in the Roaring Twenties. The Fed flooded the system with cheap credit, dropping interest rates and encouraging reckless speculation. Banks leveraged themselves 10-to-1. Stockbrokers offered margin loans covering 90% of stock purchases. Everyone from tycoons to taxi drivers was playing the market. Then, as if on cue, the Fed reversed course. Between 1928 and 1929, it tightened credit and raised rates, popping the bubble it had inflated. When the crash came in October 1929, the Fed had two choices: expand the money supply to stabilize the system (its supposed purpose) or contract it and let banks fail. It chose contraction. From 1929 to 1933, the Fed shrunk the money supply by a third, turning a recession into the Great Depression.
Economists Milton Friedman and Anna Schwartz documented this in A Monetary History of the United States (1963), proving that Fed policy was the decisive factor of turning a recession into a depression. Even decades later, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke publicly admitted the Fed was behind the Great Depression: “Regarding the Great Depression, you’re right. We did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again.” (2002 speech at Milton Friedman’s 90th birthday). Yes, you read that correctly: the Federal Reserve chairman, in a prepared speech, admitted that the Federal Reserve intentionally caused the Great Depression.
Sorry? Nine thousand banks failed. But not the right banks. J.P. Morgan & Co., National City Bank, Chase—they all survived and grew stronger. The Fed secretly funneled them reserves while letting smaller competitors collapse. By 1933, six banks controlled over half of America's banking assets. The "too big to fail" doctrine was born, though they wouldn't use that phrase for another 75 years.
Then came the gold grab. On April 5, 1933, FDR signed Executive Order 6102, making it illegal for Americans to own gold. Citizens had to turn in their gold for $20.67 per ounce or face ten years in prison. Once the government had the gold, they revalued it to $35—a 69% profit stolen directly from the American people. The excuse? Economic emergency. The reality? They were removing the last check on unlimited money printing. Sound money was dead.
Chapter 6: The Profit Machine—Wars Feed the Fed
World War I began in Europe in August 1914—eight months after the Fed's creation. Coincidence? The United States stayed "neutral" for three years while American banks, led by J.P. Morgan & Co., loaned billions to Britain and France. By 1917, these loans were in jeopardy. If the Allies lost, the banks lost everything. Solution? America enters the war.
The Fed made it possible, creating money from nothing to buy war bonds. The national debt exploded from $1 billion to $25 billion. Interest payments flowed to the Fed's member banks. The pattern was established: war meant profit, and the Fed could create infinite money for infinite war.
World War II perfected the model. Enter Prescott Bush—father of one president, grandfather of another. Bush was a director of the Union Banking Corporation, a Wall Street bank tied to Nazi industrialist Fritz Thyssen, Hitler’s early backer. In October 1942, the U.S. government seized Union Banking under the Trading with the Enemy Act for its Nazi connections. The record is clear: Bush’s bank was caught financing Hitler’s regime even as American soldiers were dying in Europe. But Bush and his partners faced no criminal charges. After the war, their assets were unfrozen, and they made millions off the very empire that had been laundering Nazi money. The dynasty thrived. As General Smedley Butler warned in 1935: “War is a racket.” World War II proved just how lucrative that racket could be for America’s banking elite.
The real coup, though, came not on the battlefield but at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. With Europe in ruins, the United States dictated the postwar financial order. The dollar became the world’s reserve currency, “as good as gold” at $35 an ounce. Every nation now needed dollars to trade. That meant they needed the Fed.
To enforce this new system, two new institutions were born: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank. Branded as engines of global development, they became enforcement arms of the dollar empire. The IMF loaned dollars to struggling nations, then demanded “structural adjustments”—a euphemism for austerity, privatization, and economic colonization—when countries couldn’t pay. The World Bank financed mega-projects that tied poor nations to perpetual debt, payable only in dollars. From Union Banking’s Nazi ties to the IMF’s debt traps, the through-line is unmistakable: war and crisis expand the Fed’s reach, and every blood-soaked conflict is another ledger entry in the bankers’ balance sheet.
Chapter 7: The Kennedy Challenge—A President vs. the Fed
On June 4, 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110, authorizing the U.S. Treasury—not the Federal Reserve—to issue silver-backed United States Notes. Unlike Federal Reserve Notes, which are loaned into existence with interest, these Treasury notes were anchored to tangible silver. Over $4.3 billion were printed, a direct challenge to the Fed’s monopoly on money creation. If expanded, this policy could have unraveled the Federal Reserve system itself.
The timeline is haunting:
June 4, 1963: Kennedy signs EO 11110.
November 22, 1963: Kennedy is assassinated in Dallas.
November 24, 1963: The Treasury stops issuing silver certificates.
March 1964: Silver redemption ends under Lyndon B. Johnson.
LBJ never repealed the order—he didn’t need to. Kennedy’s death killed it. The Federal Reserve monopoly remained untouched.
The official story blames a “lone gunman,” Lee Harvey Oswald, whose life ended two days later at the hands of known FBI informant Jack Ruby. But the Warren Commission’s 888-page report never once mentioned Executive Order 11110, nor considered who benefited from maintaining the Fed’s absolute control over the U.S. currency. The monetary angle was erased from the official record.
Kennedy’s crime wasn’t just EO 11110. It was the broader war he waged on America’s hidden power centers:
His brother Bobby’s unprecedented assault on organized crime.
His vow to shatter the CIA into “a thousand pieces” after the Bay of Pigs.
His intention to roll back the Vietnam War and de-escalate the Cold War. Together, these moves threatened what CIA counterintelligence chief James Jesus Angleton later described as “a perfect storm of enemies.”
Oliver Stone’s research, drawing on declassified files, reframed Kennedy’s assassination not as the act of a lone gunman but as the inevitable response of a system protecting itself. A system that fused Wall Street, intelligence agencies, organized crime, and the military-industrial complex—the same system Kennedy’s policies would have dismantled.
The aftermath speaks louder than theories:
The CIA grew into an untouchable global operator of coups and covert wars.
The military-industrial complex ballooned into a trillion-dollar war machine.
The Federal Reserve, untouched after Kennedy’s death, cemented its control over America’s money supply.
The “invisible government” Kennedy warned of—secret societies, deep networks, unelected power brokers—mutated into what we now call the deep state.
Kennedy’s death wasn’t just a tragedy. It was a coup d’état—a warning that presidents may be elected, but power belongs to those who control the money, the guns, and the secrets. See my 20 page dissertation here for the full scope of the JFK assassination
Chapter 8: Nixon’s Golden Betrayal — The Final Heist
By the late 1960s, the Bretton Woods system was cracking. America was running massive trade deficits, inflation was rising, and foreign governments—led by Charles de Gaulle’s France—were calling Washington’s bluff by demanding gold instead of paper dollars. U.S. gold reserves drained as ship after ship carried bullion back across the Atlantic. The American empire had a choice: stop printing so many dollars or stop redeeming them for gold.
On August 15, 1971, President Richard Nixon went on national television and chose betrayal: “I have directed Secretary Connally to suspend temporarily the convertibility of the dollar into gold.” Temporarily. That was 53 years ago. The dollar was no longer “as good as gold.” It was backed by nothing but confidence, debt, and the barrel of a gun.
To secure the dollar’s new role, Nixon struck the Petrodollar deal with Saudi Arabia. In exchange for U.S. military protection, the Saudis agreed to price oil exclusively in dollars. Any nation wanting oil now needed dollars, creating permanent demand for America’s fiat currency. Step out of line—threaten to sell oil in another currency—and you invite sanctions or regime change.
The results were immediate and devastating for ordinary Americans. Since 1971, the dollar has lost 96% of its purchasing power. Wages stagnated while the cost of living exploded. The rich, closest to the money printer, thrived. This is the Cantillon Effect in action: banks, corporations, and elites get new money first, buying up assets before prices rise. By the time that money trickles down to workers as wages, inflation has already eaten its value.
The numbers don’t lie:
1971 — Average home price: $25,000; Average income: $10,000 → Ratio 2.5:1
Today — Average home price: $450,000; Average income: $70,000 → Ratio 6.4:1
The American Dream didn’t die naturally. It was murdered—by monetary policy.
Between 1913 and 1971, every “crisis” advanced the same hidden agenda:
Depression? Centralize banking, let 9,000 small banks die.
World Wars? Expand national debt from $1 billion to $25 billion.
Assassination? Maintain the Fed’s monopoly, bury EO 11110.
Gold standard? Abolished, replaced with Petrodollar imperialism.
Each emergency stripped away constraints, eliminated competition, and concentrated control in the hands of a banking cartel. By 1971, the transformation was complete. The Federal Reserve had evolved from an unconstitutional experiment into an unchallengeable monetary dictatorship. No gold. No silver. No oversight. Just the power to conjure money from nothing, loan it at interest, and collect real wealth in exchange for paper.
Part II Final Thoughts: The Financial Coup Complete
From Jackson’s defiance to Jekyll Island, from the Panic of 1907 to the Titanic, from the Depression to Kennedy’s death, every step had been preparation for this moment. By 1971, the bankers had turned their secret coup into a global empire.
They had engineered depressions, financed world wars, seized America’s gold, and finally severed money from any tangible anchor. Kennedy’s silver notes died with him. Nixon’s “temporary” suspension of gold redemption locked the world into a fiat regime backed only by oil, debt, and force.
The Federal Reserve had not just survived its birth—it had mastered the art of crisis, weaponizing every shock to consolidate total financial control. The consolidation phase was over. The exploitation phase had begun. And what followed would make everything that came before look like a mere rehearsal.
Part III: Bodies, Blackmail, and Digital Tyranny
From Dead Presidents to Crypto Corpses to Your Coming Enslavement
If Part II was consolidation, Part III is escalation. By the 1970s the bankers had secured their empire—fiat currency, petrodollar hegemony, and a monopoly on money creation. What followed was darker: a world where assassinations, financial crises, and blackmail operations became routine tools of control. Presidents, financiers, and crypto pioneers alike fell in their path. Meanwhile, the system evolved into its digital form: a cartel hiding behind global institutions, unaccountable to nations, preparing the ultimate weapon—programmable money.
Chapter 9: The Global Banking Cartel—Who Really Runs the Fed
The Federal Reserve isn't the top of the pyramid—it's a regional office. Above it sits the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, in a tower that enjoys complete immunity from all laws. No government can enter. No authority can audit. It's the central bank of central banks, and its monthly meetings determine the fate of billions.
The BIS has a dark origin story. Created in 1930 to manage German reparations, it quickly became the money launderer for Nazi gold. During WWII, while Allied and Axis nations slaughtered each other, their central bankers met monthly at BIS, moving stolen Jewish gold and managing currencies as if genocide was just another business cycle. After the war, the BIS wasn't dissolved—it was expanded. Today, it coordinates every major central bank on Earth.
The architecture of control has three levels:
BIS: Sets global monetary policy
Regional Central Banks: Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE implement BIS decisions
Commercial Banks: JPMorgan, Goldman, Deutsche Bank execute the orders
Then there's the Rothschild question. This banking dynasty founded central banks in England, France, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Their representative, Paul Warburg, designed the Federal Reserve at Jekyll Island. While claims of total control are debated, their historical influence on central banking is documented fact. Today, the Rothschild name rarely appears in headlines—they've shifted into private banking, trusts, and advisory roles. But their model of control evolved into something even more powerful.
Enter the new titans: BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street. Together, they manage over $20 trillion—more than America's entire GDP. They're the largest shareholders in 88% of S&P 500 companies. They own competing companies in every industry. They own each other. Larry Fink, BlackRock's CEO, doesn't need to be invited to government meetings—governments come to him.
Here's what most people don't understand: BlackRock's Aladdin system manages risk for $21 trillion in assets—that's 10% of all global financial assets running through one company's algorithm. When the Fed needed someone to manage their corporate bond purchases in 2020, who did they hire? BlackRock. The Fed literally outsourced monetary policy to a private corporation that profits from the very markets the Fed manipulates.
The coordination happens through revolving doors and "innocent" gatherings:
Jackson Hole: Where Fed officials meet every August to set policy
Davos: Where the World Economic Forum plans your future without asking you
The Group of Thirty: Where "retired" central bankers write policy for current ones
Trilateral Commission: Where America, Europe, and Asia coordinate economic control
These aren't conferences—they're board meetings for Earth, Inc. The same faces appear at each one: central bankers, BlackRock executives, tech billionaires, and selected politicians. They call it "stakeholder capitalism." What they mean is: they're the stakeholders, you're the capital.
The genius is hiding in plain sight. The Rothschild model of secretive family control has been replaced by institutional control through index funds. BlackRock and Vanguard don't need to conspire in secret—they vote the shares of your retirement fund. They use your money to control the companies you work for, shop at, and depend on. It's the perfect crime: they control everything using everyone's money, and we thank them for the privilege.
Whether you trace it back to old banking families or forward to asset management giants, the conclusion is the same: a tiny group controls the global financial system. The names change, but the architecture of control remains. The Fed isn't independent—it's a franchise in a global cartel that operates above governments, beyond laws, and without accountability to anyone but themselves.
Chapter 10: The Audit Resistance—What Are They Hiding?
For over 30 years, Congressman Ron Paul demanded one simple thing that should've been the easiest thing in the world: audit the Federal Reserve. Not abolish it (yet), not storm the Eccles Building with pitchforks—just look at the books. And every time, the Fed freaked out. Why would a “legitimate” institution fear sunlight more than a vampire at dawn?
Here’s why: the Fed lives in a twilight zone of legality. It’s not fully public (Congress can’t really touch it) and it’s not fully private (it literally creates money with government authority). That’s the hustle. This hybrid status lets it duck both corporate transparency laws and government accountability rules. Section 31 of the Federal Reserve Act straight-up exempts it from real audits. The GAO can peek at the Fed’s snack drawer but not the main vault. By law, auditors are barred from reviewing:
Deals with foreign central banks
Deliberations and decisions of the FOMC
Any transactions made under FOMC direction
Translation: everything that actually matters is invisible.
That’s why Ron Paul’s Federal Reserve Transparency Act—aka Audit the Fed—was such a grenade. After 2008, when the public found out the Fed had secretly lent out $16 trillion (yes, with a “T”), suddenly people started asking: “Wait, what else are they hiding?” Paul’s bill got over 300 co-sponsors in the House, bipartisan as hell. For one shining moment, it looked like the Fed might actually be forced to open the kimono.
When a partial audit finally squeaked through, the leaks were insane:
$2.5 trillion to Citigroup
$2 trillion to Morgan Stanley
$1.9 trillion to Merrill Lynch
$1.3 trillion to Bank of America
Billions to foreign banks like RBS and Deutsche Bank
That’s just the stuff we were allowed to see. Imagine what’s in the parts they kept blacked out. Gold reserves? Rigged markets? Backroom deals with foreign governments? Political payoffs? UFO money laundering? Who knows. The Fed made sure the Transparency Act never got teeth, and every time it came close to passing, the Senate and Wall Street lobbyists shut it down.
The joke writes itself: Audit the Fed was literally the Federal Reserve Transparency Act and the Fed killed it to stay opaque. You can’t make this up.
Chapter 11: The 2008 Rehearsal—Testing Total Control
If Ron Paul’s Audit the Fed bill was a grenade, 2008 was the mushroom cloud that proved why the Fed fights transparency. The limited audit revealed trillions funneled in secret, but the financial crisis showed just how far the Fed could go when panic gave them cover.
September 15, 2008: Lehman Brothers collapses. Within 72 hours, the global financial system is on the brink. But here’s the kicker—it wasn’t just a meltdown. It was a stress test. The Fed discovered that in a crisis, it could do literally anything, and no one—not Congress, not the courts, not the voters—could stop them.
Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson—fresh out of Goldman Sachs—stormed into Congress with a three-page ransom note: $700 billion in taxpayer money, no oversight, no accountability, and legal immunity for everyone involved. When Congress hesitated, the market conveniently tanked 777 points in a single day—the biggest drop in history at the time. Message received. Congress folded, and Wall Street got its blank check.
But here’s the kicker: that was just the public shakedown. Behind closed doors, the Fed was secretly running its own bailout machine—$16 trillion in off-the-books loans to U.S. and foreign banks. The number only surfaced years later in the limited audit Ron Paul had fought for. So while Americans were told $700 billion was the price of saving the system, the real tab was over twenty times higher—and hidden from the very taxpayers footing the bill.
Then came the heist. The Fed printed $4.5 trillion through “Quantitative Easing”—a euphemism for counterfeiting on a galactic scale. Banks got money at 0% interest, then used it to buy up stocks, bonds, and real estate. Asset prices soared while wages stagnated. The rich multiplied their fortunes. Everyone else got stuck with inflation and debt.
And just like in the 1930s, the small players got wiped out while the giants consolidated. “Too Big to Fail” wasn’t a label—it was a business model. Main Street collapsed; Wall Street ate its lunch.
When ordinary Americans noticed and created Occupy Wall Street, the response was swift. The FBI, DHS, and major banks coordinated a nationwide crackdown. On November 15, 2011, in the dead of night, 18 encampments were raided in near-perfect synchronization. Protesters were beaten, arrested, surveilled, and silenced. The message was unmistakable: criticize the Fed and you’re not just fighting bankers—you’re fighting the entire national security state.
2008 wasn’t just a bailout. It was the rehearsal for the Great Reset. A system stress-tested in real time: collapse, panic, print trillions, crush dissent, repeat. The Fed proved it could launder failure into profit and weaponize crisis into obedience. From that point forward, they didn’t just manage the economy—they owned it.
Did the Fed deliberately create the subprime bubble? That’s debatable. But what’s undeniable is that when the bubble burst, the Fed didn’t just respond—they exploited the crisis as a stress test for total control.
Chapter 12: Dead Crypto Kings—Digital Freedom Meets the Fed’s Final Boss
2008 showed the Fed it could print infinite money, bail out its friends, and crush dissent. But 2009 brought a problem they couldn’t inflate away: Bitcoin. Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper was a digital middle finger to central banking. For the first time since 1913, the Fed faced a technology it couldn’t counterfeit, couldn’t regulate into submission, and couldn’t shut down.
Their answer? If you can’t kill the code, kill the coders.
On October 28, 2022, crypto pioneer Nikolai Mushegian tweeted:
“CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands… They are going to frame me with a laptop… They will torture me to death.”
Hours later, the 29-year-old co-founder of MakerDAO—one of the most decentralized financial protocols ever built—was found drowned off a Puerto Rico beach. Wallet intact. Phone intact. No signs of struggle. Official cause: “accident.”
He wasn’t the only one. The crypto body count keeps stacking:
Mircea Popescu (41) – Bitcoin billionaire, drowned in Costa Rica, 2021
Tiantian Kullander (30) – Amber Group co-founder, “died in his sleep,” November 2022
Vyacheslav Taran (53) – Libertex founder, helicopter crash, November 2022
Fernando Algaba (39) – found dismembered in Argentina, 2023
John McAfee (75) – found dead in prison after tweeting about having 31TB of “incriminating data,” 2021
Different countries, different methods—but always the same pattern: young, wealthy pioneers building alternatives to central banking, gone.
And Puerto Rico? Marketed as “crypto paradise,” it looks more like a honeypot. Intelligence-connected operators like Brock Pierce—a child-actor-turned-Bitcoin mogul with Epstein ties—run the island’s scene. Those who play ball get rich. Those who don’t… wash up on beaches.
This isn’t random tragedy. It’s the old Fed playbook in a new arena. In the 1930s, small banks were crushed so Wall Street could consolidate. In the 1960s, Kennedy signed Executive Order 11110—and got Dallas in return. In 2008, Occupy Wall Street camps were raided in perfect unison. Now, when crypto threatens the monopoly, its builders drop dead under “mysterious circumstances.”
The Fed can’t ban Bitcoin outright—too decentralized. But it can infiltrate exchanges, co-opt corporate crypto (FTX, Coinbase, Binance), push surveillance coins, and neutralize the true believers. The endgame is CBDCs: programmable, trackable, freeze-at-will money. Digital fiat as a leash.
Nikolai Mushegian understood this. His paranoia wasn’t madness—it was recognition. The same forces that built the Federal Reserve in secret at Jekyll Island are building kill switches into the blockchain today. Challenge the Fed’s monopoly on money, and you don’t just risk bankruptcy—you risk your life. The code still speaks. But the coders? They keep turning up dead.
Chapter 13: CBDCs—Your Digital Prison Awaits
While crypto builders turn up dead, the Fed is quietly constructing your digital cage. Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) aren’t just “modern money.” They are programmable control.
Phase One launched in July 2023 with FedNow. Officially, it’s just an “instant payment service.” In reality, it’s the digital rails for total surveillance. Phase Two will be the elimination of physical cash. Phase Three—the rollout of the CBDC itself.
What does programmable money mean in practice? It means money that isn’t yours once you earn it. It can be tweaked, tracked, frozen, or deleted by code:
Expiration dates: Use it by this date or it disappears
Geo-fencing: Spend only in approved zones
Purchase bans: No meat if your carbon score’s too high
Social credit integration: Say the wrong thing, lose access
Automatic taxation: Money docked before it hits your account
Negative interest rates: Save more, watch it shrink
The World Economic Forum has been open about this architecture. In 2016, they promised “you’ll own nothing and be happy.” The phrase emerged from a 2016 WEF essay titled “Welcome to 2030. I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better” by Danish MP Ida Auken. It imagined a city where ownership has been replaced by ubiquitous rental and shared services. Translation: you’ll own nothing because programmable money makes ownership optional—for you, not for them. Klaus Schwab calls this the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Look to China for the blueprint. The digital yuan already ties purchases to social credit scores and can be frozen instantly for “antisocial” activity. Europe is testing its own digital euro. The Fed insists it’s only “researching” CBDCs—but with FedNow live, the pipes are already laid. All they need is the next crisis to flip the switch.
Cash was freedom. CBDCs are chains. The Fed doesn’t need to ban crypto outright. It just needs to herd everyone into its own digital corral—where every transaction is visible, every dollar is programmable, and your financial life exists at the mercy of unelected bankers and bureaucrats.
Chapter 14: The 2020 Test Run—Crisis and Control
COVID-19 was more than a pandemic. It was the perfect laboratory for financial and social control. In March 2020, the Fed conjured $3 trillion in three months—more money than it had created in the entire century before. They called it “stimulus.” In reality, it was wealth transfer on a historic scale:
Wall Street soared: the stock market hit all-time highs while the real economy was shuttered.
Billionaires cashed in: the richest Americans added over $2 trillion in wealth.
The middle class got gutted: inflation ate savings while wages flatlined.
Small businesses died: corporate giants consolidated even more power.
At the same time, governments tested the infrastructure of obedience. Vaccine passports weren’t about medicine—they were CBDCs in rehearsal. Digital permission slips controlled who could work, travel, or dine. Comply, and you lived normally. Resist, and you were locked out of society. Now imagine that logic applied to your money.
The lesson was clear: in a crisis, people will accept anything—lockdowns, surveillance, wealth transfer—if it’s framed as “safety.” The next crisis won’t be about public health. It will be about your wallet. And the “solution” on offer—CBDCs—will make 2020 look like a dress rehearsal for permanent financial servitude.
Conclusion to Part III: The Pattern Accelerates
From dead presidents to dead coders, from secret meetings on Jekyll Island to public experiments in mass compliance, the trajectory is undeniable. Every generation, the grip tightens:
1913: A secret meeting creates the Fed.
1933: Gold outlawed, Americans stripped of sound money.
1963: A president challenges the system, and ends up with his head taken off.
2008: Trillions stolen in plain sight.
2020: The world locked down in the name of safety.
2023: FedNow builds the rails for programmable money.
2030: The cage door closes.
The bodies keep piling up. The crises keep escalating. And the bankers keep winning. Most Americans still think the Fed is part of their government, not the private cartel it truly is. That confusion is the system’s greatest protection.
The question isn’t whether they’re building a total surveillance state—they’re openly bragging about it at Davos, in IMF papers, and through the rollout of FedNow. The question is whether enough people will wake up before the last layer of freedom is coded out of existence. We are running out of time. But not out of options. Not yet.
Part IV: The Rebellion & Endgame Scenarios
Chapter 15 — The Last Chapter: Conclusions, Futures, and a Playbook
For more than a century, the story of American money has not been one of free markets or democratic accountability, but of a private cartel consolidating control through crisis, deception, and violence. From Jekyll Island to FedNow, the pattern is unmistakable: engineer or exploit catastrophe, then emerge with more power than before.
The Federal Reserve was sold as a stabilizer, but its real history reads like a chronicle of conquest. The Great Depression wasn’t an accident of markets — the Fed shrank the money supply by a third, wiping out thousands of community banks and cementing Wall Street’s dominance. World War I and II weren’t just geopolitical conflicts — they were profit engines, expanding the national debt from $1 billion to $25 billion, with the Fed as the printer behind the cannon fire. Kennedy’s silver-backed challenge to Fed monopoly ended in Dallas, his Executive Order 11110 buried along with him. Nixon severed the last tie to gold in 1971, locking America — and the world — into a fiat regime backed only by oil deals and military power.
By the time the dust settled, the United States was debt-dependent, its currency unmoored, and its people trapped in a system where every dollar owed is born of debt plus interest — a game designed so there can never be enough to go around. Sound money was gone. What replaced it was a system of perpetual scarcity and obedience.
The playbook hasn’t changed since. In 2008, when subprime collapsed, the Fed proved that during a crisis it could create trillions in secret and funnel them to its friends, while letting ordinary Americans drown. Occupy Wall Street showed the public still had fight in it — until coordinated crackdowns silenced the movement. In 2020, the Fed printed more in three months than in the previous century, while vaccine passports rehearsed the logic of programmable money: access granted only if you comply. By 2023, FedNow had gone live, laying the digital rails for CBDCs — money that can expire, geofence, surveil, and control you in ways no tyrant in history could dream of.
And when people build alternatives? They end up in graves. From John Jacob Astor on the Titanic to John F. Kennedy in Dallas to Nikolai Mushegian on a Puerto Rico beach, the warning is the same: those who challenge the monopoly don’t live long. Dead presidents, dead bankers, dead coders — different eras, same outcome.
The Federal Reserve is not just a bank. It is the keystone of an architecture of control that now spans the globe: the Bank for International Settlements above it, BlackRock and Vanguard managing trillions through it, Davos and Jackson Hole as the boardrooms where decisions are laundered as “policy.” The old Rothschild model of dynastic secrecy has been replaced by institutional dominance so vast it hides in plain sight.
So where does this leave us? At a fork in the road, with three possible futures:
1. Collapse
The debt spiral spins too far, foreign nations abandon the dollar, and hyperinflation or credit shock wipes out confidence. In the chaos, the same architects offer a “reset” — wiping debts while installing CBDCs as the “solution.” Freedom dies in the smoldering ashes of collapse.
2. Total Control
The “Great Reset” scenario. A crisis — financial, environmental, cyber, or medical — triggers the rollout of full CBDCs. Cash is eliminated. Every transaction is tracked, scored, and approved. Social credit merges with programmable money. Ownership dissolves into permanent subscription life: “you’ll own nothing and be happy.” A financial panopticon, disguised as progress.
3. Decentralized Renaissance
The only path out. Parallel economies emerge: Bitcoin as digital sound money, gold and silver as physical anchors, state-level rebellions like Texas bullion vaults or El Salvador’s Bitcoin experiment. Local banking, community trade, and privacy tech rebuild sovereignty from the bottom up. The centralized system shrinks from monopoly to optional.
Which path is chosen will depend not on bankers or politicians, but on whether ordinary people recognize the pattern and refuse to comply.
The Playbook for Resistance
On the personal level: diversify into real assets, self-custody your crypto, support local economies, and guard your privacy. On the collective level: build parallel institutions, push states toward sound-money laws, and wage memetic warfare that exposes the Fed’s playbook for what it is: debt slavery in disguise. And on the spiritual level: remember that money is energy, attention, and trust. Fiat works because we believe in it. The moment enough people stop believing, its spell breaks.
The Final Question
For over a century, America’s money has been obedience paper — a leash disguised as freedom. The Fed has outlived presidents, manufactured depressions, and financed endless wars by perfecting one dark art: turning crisis into control. But for the first time since 1913, a crack has appeared. Bitcoin cannot be printed, gold cannot be programmed, and together they point to something radical: money that serves people, not masters.
The battle ahead is not theoretical. Within the next decade, we will decide whether money remains the operating system of enslavement — or becomes the foundation of a renaissance. Whoever controls the money controls the world. The only question left is this: will we keep obeying — or will we finally break the chain?
