The anti-Constitutional “Federal Reserve” which has absolutely nothing to do with anything federal, is in its simplest form, a cobbled-together criminal cabal operating the biggest Ponzi scheme ever devised on the planet. And always, it gets its points across from pointy-headed elitist intellectuals, reading from reams of paper before Congressional “banking committees,” in language that is altruistic at best, downright criminal at worst.
