The Federal Reserve is neither Federal nor a Reserve! It is one of the Greatest Scams of Alltime!

Part 2: Secret Journey

In November of 1910, Senator Nelson Aldrich sent his private railway car to the railway station in New Jersey to take himself, Abraham Andrew, Frank Vanderlip. Henry Davison, Charles Norton, Benjamin Strong and Paul Warburg to their clandestine meeting on Jekyll Island. At that time, these 7 men represented approximately 25% of the wealth of the entire world!

Each man was told to arrive at the train station in the greatest of secrecy. They were specifically instructed not to see one another on the day and evening of their departure. They were to arrive at different times so that they could enter the station and board the private car, hooked-up at the very end of the train, one at a time and pretend as though they did not know one another.

Each man was also instructed to avoid newspaper reporters at all cost, because if they had been seen together, it would have raised Spockian eyebrows and a lot of questions would have been asked. One of the men even carried a shotgun so that if had been stopped by a reporter his response would be that he was going on a duck hunting trip.

Once on board Aldrich's private railway car, they were told to only use their first names. Under no circumstances were last names to be even mentioned. Some of the "unmagnificant 7" even used code-names. Senator Aldrich was concerned that if the servants were to know who they were serving that evening, there would be a good chance that the information would be leaked to the press.

The 1,000 mile journey to Brunswick Georgia took two and a half days. From there they took a ferry to Jekyll Island, which was completely owned by people such as Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan who would spend the winter months there with their families. Amongst the millionaire owners it was known as "The Jekyll Island Club."

The center of their social activities was The Clubhouse, a magnificent structure surrounded by cottages which were the finest examples of the architecture of the day, some even having as many as 14 bathrooms.

Today, Jekyll Island is owned by the state of Georgia and has been converted into a state park. The Clubhouse has been fully restored and is open to the public.

As you tour this facility, you'll come to a door with a brass plaque which simply says, "In this room the Federal Reserve System was created."
