This book is excellent, informative, in also infuriating. Learning the origins of the banking mafia and its ramifications on America today is the single most patriotic thing you can do. The next is to vote in those who want to change it.

check out this article... the site has great info too:

Yeah, this is a #1 if anyone wants to know the real answer (no matter how horrible) to the bail-out solution.

Unfortunately people should also realize that this isn't the only time this was institutionalized. It's been going on and off for thousands of years, if not millenia.

Never before did America need the understanding found in a book (not counting the Holy Bible). The enormous, hyper-inflationary, bailouts our Congress is engineering that are leading America into a financial abyss, can be better understood after reading The Creature From Jekyll Island by G. Edward Griffin.

I first read the book in 1995, just before I introduced Mr. Griffin to a crowd of 600 at the Provo High School, in Provo, Utah, who had gathered to hear him speak on the topic of the Federal Reserve Banking System and its effect on America. The book has only grown more valuable.

The book discusses the monetary monopoly created by the 1913 Federal Reserve Act, that created a money cartel for certain private banking interests.

It lays out how the Federal Reserves Banking system creates "money" out of thin air, how our Congress uses this money machine for unlimited borrowing and spending purposes, putting us all in debt.

It reveals the sordid history of the money manipulators and warns us about what they have done and can yet do. It gives some advice on what we Americans can do to stop the terrible machinations of the international bankers involved in this Monopoly-cartel.

With Congress looking to do a $700-billion bailout of failed financial institutions, this should be the #1 book on everyone's reading list!
