So wait...the Federal Reserve is NOT privately owned???

Now you’re not even making sense. The whole point was you were trying to downplay the nature of the Fed’s creation as something “the media just didn’t know was important at the time”.

The whole point of this thread was to ask about the ownership of the Fed, and the first reply suggested there are no private (i.e. outside of government) interests. You’re really taking this outside the scope of discussion.

That’s why people like Paul Grignon and Bill Still are not only severely criticized, but are even called possible “plants” of the powers that be.

This was already brought up in these threads:

What do you mean the FED is private?

Money as Debt

“…but governments did not initiate the crisis”
