The Fed Began at Jekyll Island in a Shroud of Secrecy. Lies Have Been Used to Hide the True Purpose of the Fed Which is to Enrich and Empower the Global Banking Elite.

The Fed began at Jekyll Island. Mention the name Jekyll and most people will immediately think of the famous Doctor Hyde and his destructive alter ego.

Few know there is an island by that name that played a pivotal role in the American financial system.

Origins of the nation’s financial system, the Federal Reserve, began at Jekyll Island.

A short distance off the coast of Georgia, this island holds significance in the financial growth of the nation in another way as well.

In 1858, approximately 50 years after the importation of slaves was made illegal, the last known shipment from Africa arrived on the shores of Jekyll Island courtesy of the vessel, the Wanderer; there were 458 slaves in that last shipment.

Jekyll Island was a spot of much controversy and conflict in its early history.

The Spanish initially laid claim to the island in 1510. However, they were soon to come to conflict with the French who tried to say it was their land.

A series of armed conflicts led to the execution of the French explorer Jean Ribault by the Spanish.

Ribault had tried to claim the land for the French, as well as colonization efforts by the Spanish.

The natives were not too fond of the number of missions the Spanish were building and the efforts they made to convert them and change their culture.

Eventually they rebelled against the Spanish and slaughtered all but Father Davilla from Jekyll Island who was made a slave until eventually returning him to Spain.

The late 1600s saw the English draw an interest in the area; they armed their allies, the Cherokee, Creek and Yuchi tribes and helped them drive the remaining Spanish settlements and other Indians from the area.

The coming years saw it change hands again as it and the rest of the state of Georgia became part of the United States of America.

However, the Island is more known for the role it played in the nation’s financial system when the Fed began at Jekyll Island.

The Fed Began at Jekyll Island

It is sometimes said that the fed began at Jekyll Island due to the meeting of the financial minds that happened there back in 1910.

Following the banking panic of 1907, many within the halls of power grew concerned over the stability and viability of the financial system in the United States.

Following the panic, then chairman of the National Monetary Commission Senator Nelson Aldrich, traveled to Europe where he studied the various systems used by many of the countries.

After completing his studies and travels, he returned to the United States and organized a meeting of many of the nation’s brightest and influential financial minds at Jekyll Island to discuss what he had learned, monetary policy and banking in general, and what would work best for the nation. 

The discussions that occurred at this meeting are why many say the fed was created at Jekyll Island.

What’s the Password?

If the fed began at Jekyll Island, it did so surrounded in a shroud of secrecy.

Aldrich was very concerned that too much media exposure could taint the discussions and possibly any policy that may result.

Last names were dropped or code names were used for identification during the venture.

Names were avoided when the servants were around in order to keep them from spilling anything they knew to people outside the club.

The train that took them to the Island was even placed at an unused section of the train station so that the people could board with the utmost secrecy and privacy.
