The Creature from Jekyll Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve is a book by American author G. Edward Griffin.
[edit] Content
The book contends that the Federal Reserve System is linked to a secret meeting on Jekyll Island, Georgia in 1910. The author alleges that an organization called the "Money Trust", composed of the richest and most powerful bankers in the world, along with a U.S. Senator, wrote the proposal to launch the Federal Reserve System (which Griffin calls a banking cartel) to control the financial system so that the bankers will always control the issuance of currency in the United States.
Also explored in the book is the contention that the Federal Reserve System, International Monetary Fund, and World Bank are part of a plot to build world government through clever psychology and deceptive banking institutions.
