An Epic Conspiracy, Still In Effect Today… by Justice Litle, Editorial Director, Taipan
The year was 1910.
World War I was still 4 years away. The Ford Motor Company was just 2 years old at the time. And the market crash of 1907 -- which nearly brought America to its knees -- was just beginning to fade from memory.
That memory didn’t fade for everyone, however…
A small, close-knit group of the wealthiest men in the country -- investment bankers, oil barons, powerful politicians and the like -- would never forget the panic of 1907.
They wanted to make sure it could never happen again and, at the same time, ensure their fortunes would grow.
So these seven powerful businessmen, representing roughly 1/4th of America’s wealth, made plans to meet in secret. (Senior representation for J.P. Morgan would be there and William Rockefeller sent his top man, too.)
All took great pains to disguise their travel plans… a few even brought rifles with them to fool the press into thinking it was a duck-hunting trip.
Discretion was vital. No one could know the magnitude of what was about to take place.
And so the men met in secret in a smoke-filled hunting lodge, on the small Jekyll Island resort just off the Georgia coast.
What happened next was truly remarkable.
The Fourth Branch of American Government
Mayer Rothschild, founder of the famous Rothschild empire once said, “Give me control of a nation’s money and I care not who makes her laws.”
And that’s exactly how this small group of businessmen was able to create a shadowy FOURTH branch of government that’s ended up taking complete control of America’s money.
And here’s the kicker -- this fourth branch actually operates as a private corporation INSIDE the Federal government!
Even on their official government-operated web site, the fourth branch is defined as "an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects."
So while this arm of government is supposed to have the economic interests of the American people at heart, you can trace their very selfish intentions all the way back to Jekyll Island and the seven billionaires who created it.
Economist Anthony Sutton was right-on when he said the fourth branch is “a legal private monopoly of the money supply operated for the benefit of the few under the guise of protecting and promoting the public interest.”
And do you think this private monopoly’s got you or your retirement’s best interest at heart?
Meet The Fed…
In 1913, this fourth branch of government, or as we now know it -- The United States Federal Reserve -- was passed into existence.
Now have you ever noticed how, no matter how much bad stuff comes down the pike for the big Wall Street corporations in this country, that the CEOs and other stuffed-suit execs almost always come out of it squeaky clean?
They take their fat severance packages and retire to an island or ranch somewhere far away from the thousands of employees and shareholders their trouble rained down upon.
And who always seems to provide these golden parachutes for the rich and powerful?
You guessed it… the same people who’ve always been doing it.
The Fed, created as the fourth branch of government during that meeting on Jekyll Island 98 years ago, has been bailing big Wall Street players out of jams for decades now.
And each time they do it, they take a chunk of your retirement dollars with them. Those greedy tycoons are gunning straight for your wallet...
How The Fed Is Killing Your Retirement
Every time one of the Fed’s elite Wall Street cronies gets into trouble and the economy begins to drag, they come up with the same predictable response…
Print more money!
“…the U.S. government has a technology, called a printing press…” said current Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke, “that allows it to produce as many U.S. dollars as it wishes at essentially no cost.”
No cost??? Hardly…
Running those printing presses to bail out Wall Street players has a HUGE cost. It costs you and me the value of our already-printed dollars.
For each new dollar that comes on the scene as a life preserver for Wall Street tycoons, the less and less the dollars in your wallet become worth.
And, believe it or not, that’s not the worst part…
You’re paying a “hidden tax” on all those new greenbacks the Fed is printing!
Yes, I’m sure you think that you pay quite enough in taxes every year, thank you very much. But the truth is -- you’re actually paying much more than you were.
The Fed is taxing the daylights out of your retirement savings each and every day. And, if you look just a little closer, it’s not hard to figure out how they’re doing it.
This “hidden tax” is actually inflation and it’s the number one way the U.S. government is destroying your retirement.
“Inflation has to be brought under control before it's too late,” warns MSNMoney.
Bernanke and the Fed have made it clear in recent months that printing new money and bailing out their Wall Street partners is much more important to them than corralling inflation.
And if you’re an investor planning your retirement, that should terrify you.
The “hidden tax” that the Fed is collecting from you right now will severely affect your ability to live even the most modest of lifestyles comfortably.
A loaf of white bread cost $1.05 in 2006; in 2008 it costs $1.28.
A dozen eggs cost $1.45 in 2006; in 2008 they cost $2.18.
A 1 pound bag of apples cost 96 cents in 2006; in 2008 they cost $1.16.
A pound of chicken cost $1.06 in 2006; in 2008 it costs $1.16.
A gallon of milk cost $3.20 in 2006; in 2008 it costs $3.87.
See what I mean?
Now imagine the hundreds of other items you use in your everyday life increasing in price like that…
Think you can afford it?
The “Hidden Tax” Is Going Up!
On a conference call back in January, the Fed delivered more bad news. The hidden tax was increasing.
Calling statistics from the end of 2007 “disappointing,” they revised their forecast for 2008 and raised its inflation projections for the year up to 2.2%.
Believe me… as long as the Fed continues to serve its Wall Street masters, your retirement well-being is in grave danger.
Ever since its creation on Jekyll Island in 1910, they’ve proved that their interests lie solely with the big banks and corporations that have always supported the Fed.
Not with you.
“The Fed's actions could very well be ushering in a new era of inflation - and that is horrible news for your retirement portfolio,” says CNNMoney.com.
Have you ever wondered why the CPI, GDP and employment numbers run counter to your personal and business experiences? The problem lies in biased and often-manipulated government reporting.
