A year or so ago someone in this forum mentioned the book "The Creature From Jekyll Island" but I never got around to reading it.   This is supposedly chapter 10 from the book.  If it is typical of the rest of the book I will have to get it.

IMO this is a must read.   
Set aside 30 min of private time and a strong cup of coffee.   If you get bored or frustrated at first, push on, it gets better.

Good article.  Cue the usual suspects to show up and dismiss it completely.

Either it's too difficult to plow through, or the information is too difficult to refute.   I thought I had a good understanding of fractional banking and debt based currency, but that went beyond my previous knowledge.

This is a video of Michael Maloney, my favorite guy (next to Stewart Thomson) because 3 years ago I somehow stumbled onto his book and it woke me up just enough to cause me to start doing my own reading and research to see if he is right.  He is.  He made me a lot of currency. . . . . and money (a least a lot for me, probably not that much to some folks on here).
