Beware, this is a long article, but it's MEATY. Especially look at the buying power of the dollar today versus 1913. (down towards the bottom)

For those who prefer watching to reading, I would HIGHLY recommend hitting video.google.com and looking up "The Money Masters". If you watch this, you'll understand why I keep telling everyone that Ron Paul is our Andrew Jackson!

My favorite is "Money as Debt". It is 47 minutes long and has animated cartoons that explain the whole scam in a way that ANYONE can understand it.

Once you watch this you will understand the power of the bankers, and where every single member of the richest people in the world made their money, what a 'debt based economy' really is, and why our monetary system has over 1000 years of proof that it was doomed at the start.

The Creature from Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin.
Not only the creation of the Fed, but all the havoc it has wrought, how banks and governments have been bailed out time and again, and how we've been stuck with the worthless paper.

The Money Masters is riddled with factual inaccuracies. The goals of TMM are not our goals.

Whatever the case may be, they present 'fractional reserve banking' and 'debt based economy' in a way where the concept is easily understood.

Once you understand the inherent dishonesty of fractional reserve banking, the rest is just bonus material.

Do I doubt that the people who create the money around the world could keep all this out of our history and educational system?
Absolutely.
No more than they have kept the concept of freedom and property rights out of public school for a very long time.

If you went and told the founders after the revolutionary war that they would have to rent all land from the government AND pay a percentage of all income and financial gain to them as well, they would have picked their rifles back up.

just for a newbie's sake, what are some inaccuracies in the video? It seemed a little dated to me, but that's about all I picked up on. TIA.

May I have permission to use that? Heard it expressed before of course but never so succinctly! Think it would be great to use as part of a group of sayings when passing out literature and encouraging folks to look into Dr Paul.

I have some (IMHO) good articles on the Federal Reserve on my blog.

Why rely on conspiracy based arguments for the Fed when you can read the arguments made in it's day?

Oh, that's right monetary policy is dry and boring. Drama is a much better learning tool /sarcasm
