Edward Griffin, author and documentary film producer, calls himself 'a plain vanilla researcher and writer.' But the projects he has completed don't deal with 'vanilla' subjects. They concern the Federal Reserve, the Supreme Court, cancer and even Noah's ark. Perhaps a better description of Griffin is one he also admits to - 'Crusader Rabbit.' ... While the followers of the current environmental movement are preoccupied with visions of planetary doom, the leaders have an entirely different agenda. It is world government.” If you’re a diehard libertarian or conservative activist, chances are decent that you’re gung-ho for scrapping the Federal Reserve entirely, or at least giving its employees a harder time. “END THE FED” is a popular refrain at libertarian summits.

Shortly after returning home, Aldrich became ill and was unable to write the group’s final report. So Vanderlip and Strong traveled to Washington to get the plan ready for Congress. Aldrich presented it to the National Monetary Commission in January 1911 without telling the commission members how the plan had been developed.

Starting in the late 1800’s and especially in the early 1900’s, there was a growing trend of new banks springing up across America. Combined with less borrowing and internal business investing, the market share and power of the elite banking groups began to decline. It was at this point that they realized that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” For each of the elite banking consortiums saw competition and the free market as their worst enemy. To “fix” this problem, they met stealthily to devise a plan on securing and monopolizing their positions. Griffin writes: It was a ploy. It was a brilliant piece of strategy. These people were not stupid... In fact, while the bill was being debated in congress some of these people before the public and gave speeches knowing it would be reported in the press.. and they said 'this bill' (that they had written) 'is not going to be good for business. It's bad for America.' They actually do that ploy. Knowing full well that the average guy would read that in the newspaper and say, 'These big bankers don't like the bill, must be pretty good. '

It is incapable of accomplishing its stated objectives”– Set up purportedly to provide stability to the economy, the Fed has failed in its mission because its goal is, in fact, to act as a “legal private monopoly of the money supply.”Kenadjian, Berdj (2006).

While the US Congress officially created the Federal Reserve in 1913, contrarian G. Edward Griffin believes it was born in secret on a secluded island in 1910, designed by a handful of the world’s most powerful men. Griffin, president of American Media and author of The Discovery of Noah’s Ark, leads a circuitous journey through a different version of history, a recounting that bolsters his belief that mighty cabals aim to subjugate the United States to a new world government. The Natural Laws of Money and the Mandrake Mechanism. Fractional and fiat money systems always degenerate into economic chaos. They depend on the Mandrake mechanism, which describes the process by which government debt gets converted into money from nothing.Mr. Griffin himself is enigmatic. He has authored a wide range of books including The Discovery of Noah’s Ark and A World without Cancer in which he apparently promotes the vitamin B-17 as a cancer cure. Is it a cure? Perhaps, but Griffin is not a medical doctor —nor is he a Biblical Scholar, or an economist. That doesn’t mean however that he doesn’t have the knowledge or skills to write on these matters, but rather that it makes sense to see if what he says in The Creature is coo berated by economists. This is something I will have to pursue, but initially it appears promising. One of my favorite economists for example, Thomas Sowell, has said that the Fed is an organization that has proven its ineffectiveness and should be phased out.
