# OWNERSHIP OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE

> Most Americans, if they know anything at all about the Federal Reserve,
> believe it is an agency of the United States Government.
> This article charts the true nature of the "National Bank."

Chart 1 reveals the linear connection between the Rothschilds and the Bank of England, and the London banking houses which ultimately control the Federal Reserve Banks through their stockholdings of bank stock and their subsidiary firms in New York. The two principal Rothschild representatives in New York, J. P. Morgan Co., and Kuhn, Loeb & Co. were the firms which set up the Jekyll Island Conference at which the Federal Reserve Act was drafted, who directed the subsequent successful campaign to have the plan enacted into law by Congress, and who purchased the controlling amounts of stock in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York in 1914. These firms had their principal officers appointed to the Federal Reserve Board of Governors and the Federal Advisory Council in 1914. In 1914 a few families (blood or business related) owning controlling stock in existing banks (such as in New York City) caused those banks to purchase controlling shares in the Federal Reserve regional banks. Examination of the charts and text in the House Banking Committee Staff Report of August, 1976 and the current stockholders list of the 12 regional Federal Reserve Banks show this same family control.

### Chart 2

Source: ** Federal Reserve Directors: A Study of Corporate and Banking Influence ** - - Published 1983

The J. Henry Schroder Banking Company chart encompasses the entire history of the twentieth century, embracing as it does the program (Belgium Relief Commission) which provisioned Germany from 1915-1918 and dissuaded Germany from seeking peace in 1916; financing Hitler in 1933 so as to make a Second World War possible; backing the Presidential campaign of Herbert Hoover ; and even at the present time, having two of its major executives of its subsidiary firm, Bechtel Corporation serving as Secretary of Defense and Secretary of State in the Reagan Administration.

The head of the Bank of England since 1973, Sir Gordon Richardson, Governor of the Bank of England (controlled by the House of Rothschild) was chairman of J. Henry Schroder Wagg and Company of London from 1963-72, and director of J. Henry Schroder, New York and Schroder Banking Corporation, New York, as well as Lloyd's Bank of London, and Rolls Royce. He maintains a residence on Sutton Place in New York City, and as head of "The London Connection," can be said to be the single most influential banker in the world.

Federal Reserve Directors appoint 2002 chairmen

Topic Federal Reserve
We can't get enough of those unelected, unaccountable ubermagnates! As of September 28, 2001 the Board of Governors has appointed 23 people who already have their fingers in way too many pots to direct our nation's economy. Read all about it!
Here are limited bios of the persons who were appointed Directors of the twelve banks that make up the Federal Reserve.

- Boston Chairman: William O. Taylor. Taylor was born into ownership of the Boston Globe, which was merged with the New York Times in 1993. He graduated from Harvard, he runs United Way, the Center for Foreign Journalists, and the Boston Public Library.
- New York Chairman: Peter G. Peterson. Peterson is chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (surprise!), and Institute for International Economics. He founded the Concord Coalition, as well as his own private investment banking firm. His wife runs the Children's Television Workshop and is probably responsible for the mass merchandizing of poor ol' Elmo. He's been awarded honorary doctorate degrees from six universities. Presidents from Nixon to Clinton have fawned over him.
- Philadelphia Chairwoman: Charisse R. Lillie. As a minority female, Lillie wasn't handed her establishment credentials. She's cool. She helps fight discrimination in federal court and works for election reform. Go Lillie!
- Cleveland Chairman: David H. Hoag. Hoag worked for over twenty years at LTV steel. He also sits on the board of Chubb, an insurance company who estimated they lost $500-600 million dollars in connection with the September 11 attack.
- Richmond Chairman: Jeremiah J. Sheehan. Sheehan runs Reynolds Metal Company, which merged with Alcoa in 1999. Alcoa is the target of worker and environmentalist protesters across the globe.
- Atlanta Chairman: John F. Wieland. Wieland is single-handedly responsible for the obscene suburban sprawl that had come to characterize Atlanta. He has built more than 12,000 homes in the area, as well as a 500+ acre golf town. He likes to collect art.
- Chicago Chairman: Robert J. Darnall. Darnall worked for almost 40 years in steel, including as president for Ispat International, which pressured Indonesia to sell Krakatoa Steel on the cheap.
- St. Louis Chairman: Charles W. Mueller. Mueller worked his way up at Union Electric, which merged with CIPSCO. He is CEO of that love child, Ameren, who wants to build a hydroelectric plant near Church Mountain in Missouri.
- Minneapolis Chairman: Ronald N. Zwieg. Zwieg is President of United Food and Commercial Workers and is responsible for the well-being of food processing workers. Meetpackers have the highest rates of injury among any occupation. Hmmm. Is that why he gets along so well with the establishment?
- Kansas City Chairman: Terrence P. Dunn. Dunn inherited the J.E. Dunn construction company from his grandfather. Their projects, which generate $1.3 billion in revenues each year, include several "correctional facilities" (prisons), casinos, and the Sprint world headquarters.
- Dallas Chairman: H.B. Zachry, Jr. Zachry Jr. presided over his father's construction company which handled lucrative Department of Defense contracts during WWII. Their recent list of "satisfied customers" include Alcoa in Jamaica, BP Chemicals, and the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
- San Francisco Chairman: Nelson C. Rising. Rising is CEO of Catellus Development Corporation in San Francisco. Real estate in San Francisco. How can you get more lucrative?
