Who owns the Federal Reserve?

I can't seem to find much info on this, i'm sure it's probably plastered all over ATS in various threads too. If it is, sorry about that.

Anyway considering recent events, I thought it would be good to post up the official explanation of who owns the federal reserve, and then have counter arguments for that here in ATS for anyone who wants a quick check up on the FEDs ownership.

Official stance seems to be:

Source

"The Federal Reserve System is not 'owned' by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution. Instead, it is an independent entity within the government, having both public purposes and private aspects."

This definitely conflicts with what I have been reading as of late here in ATS.

People here are always saying the FED is not a part of the government, and is privately owned. But I can't remember reading any further expansion on this.

So what's the deal?

I'm pretty sure it's the SMOM.

Sovereign Militia of Malta.

Heres ours ...
Note that our Prime Minister can step in and call the shots on the Feds at anytime.

It was created by an act of Parliment not privately owned.

NOW for the bad part some of our polititions are in bed with THE SYSTEM and others may have a gun to their head by the M.I.C.

"It is the duty of the Reserve Bank Board, within the limits of its powers, to ensure that the monetary and banking policy of the Bank is directed to the greatest advantage of the people of Australia and that the powers of the Bank ... are exercised in such a manner as, in the opinion of the Reserve Bank Board, will best contribute to:

(a) the stability of the currency of Australia;
(b) the maintenance of full employment in Australia; and
(c) the economic prosperity and welfare of the people of Australia.’

Oh interesting, i've never really thought about the FED in other countries.
Do they differ greatly between countries?

The Australian one sounds more like the official US FED description.

Here is the audio version (on 1 site, anyhow):

[Real Audio] G. Edward Griffin's "The Creature from Jekyll Island" (1 part, not the whole thing!)

I don't know if it works or not but I did get another audio version of that same talk, at another site, so i just did a quick google search for it and voila! came up with another link to it that I had not seen before... If it does not work, maybe somehow I can upload my copy of the RM file, to somewhere?

PS: I am new here (but not to this sort of "talk"), so bear with me! :-)

Thanks for all that info, and I did read that list of names.

"1) The Rothschild Family - London 2) The Rothschild Family - Berlin 3) The Lazard Brothers - Paris 4) Israel Seiff - Italy 5) Kuhn-Loeb Company - Germany 6) The Warburgs - Amsterdam 7) The Warburgs - Hamburg 8) Lehman Brothers - New York 9) Goldman & Sachs - New York 10) The Rockefeller Family - New York"

I've seen the Rockefeller, Rothschild, and Wurburgs mentioned numerous times elsewhere but i've never really bothered to read much of it since it's usually a very long and drawn out read
I guess it's a complex issue.

But this has really caught my interest recently so i'll do the hard reading, taking nothing at face value of course.


Another question, who decides to bail out AIG? I've only heard the 'FED' decides so far. Any human names? I'm assuming it's a group decision.

Also, do I understand this correctly? This guy Phil Gramm made it easier for people to take out mortgages they can't afford?

I've heard it mentioned a few times that this is a partial reason for the recent crisis.

Just trying to get a better grasp on whos responsible for what.
