The federal reserve is owned by private individuals. So how is it?

Question

that a goverment elected by the people for the people allows it's money to be issued and controlled by private interests. And also why is it that every country in the world is in debt. and to whom do they owe they money. Perhaps this is a question we should all be asking. As our way of life erodes with every penny that is owed.

Answer 1

This is a great question, and the answer is actually a lot like the "red pill" in the Matrix. Once you ask this question, you are off down the rabbit hole of consipiracy, control, manipulation, political murder, and the whole bit.

So my first answer to you is this... are you SURE you want to be asking this question?

And then my second answer is, if you are sure you want to know... like REALLY sure, then here are some web sites for you to check out. Now be aware, much of this information is from people who are pissed off by what they have learned. So make sure to filter it through your own discernment.

Answer 2

Let's first address the faulty assumption regarding the ownership of the Federal Reserve.

Control of the Federal Reserve System is by the Board of Governors. The Board of Governors is a government agency whose members are appointed by the president and confirmed by congress. There is no mechanism or structure whatsoever for private ownership at this level. (If someone disagrees, please explain how someone could theoretically take legal title of the board of governors.)

However there is a semblance of private ownership with the Federal Reserve branches. By law, every member bank has to purchase shares and they can elect 6 of the 9 board members to their local branch. No individual can own shares in a Federal Reserve branch and these shares cannot be sold on the open market.

The branches are responsible for day-to-day operations and to carry out policy and directives from the Board of Governors. Monetary policy, including the expansion/contraction of money, interest rates, etc is determined by the Board of Governors.


"Why every country is in debt and to whom do they owe their money" is a very broad question. The answers depends on the country.

The simple answer for why a country goes into debt irresponsibly is poor leadership.

The simple answer for who they owe is who has excess money to lend. Right now 75% of the U.S. debt is financed by foreign investors. Where do they get all the U.S. dollars to buy U.S. debt? From the incredibly lop-sided trade deficit.

Debt, by itself, is not necessarily a bad thing if it will net a positive return. U.S. debt is just the resulting of irresponsible fiscal management. It is as simple as too little taxes or too much spending or a combination of both.

Answer 3

The federal reserve is not owned by individuals. It is the Central Bank of the United States founded in 1913.

Answer 4

Well that was one of woodrow wilsons greatest regrets of his presidency was establishing the federal reserve into what it is now. They owe the money to the people who actually control the world.

Answer 5

Congratulations. You're beginning to wake up. In fact, we are no longer a free country. We haven't been since the Civil War. And you really won't like the answer to your question about who owns us. Learn to use search engines. There is more info out there than can be listed here.

that's why 1% of the country controls 95% of the wealth.
the federal reserve IS A PRIVATELY OWNED BANK.
