Between 1800 & 1910, America’s banking system was broken: • The U.S. had no central authority over currency • Over 30,000 types of banknotes were in circulation • Banks failed regularly (major panics in 1873, 1893, 1907) • No lender of last resort meant a single rumor could

A “duck hunting trip” was planned. In November 1910, Senator Nelson Aldrich, head of the National Monetary Commission, arranged a meeting. But it wasn’t in Washington. It was on Jekyll Island, Georgia, owned by J.P. Morgan and other elites. Aldrich gathered 5 men. All boarded

Who were the 6 men? They represented nearly 25% of global wealth at the time: • Nelson Aldrich – Senator, father-in-law to John D. Rockefeller Jr. • Paul Warburg – Partner at Kuhn, Loeb & Co., key architect • Frank Vanderlip – President of National City Bank (Citibank) •

Why the secrecy? Because if the public knew private bankers were designing a central bank, it would’ve been political suicide. "We were as secretive as conspirators... we knew that what we were about to do would be criticized." – Frank Vanderlip So they used first names only.

What did they actually create? In 9 days on Jekyll Island, they drafted a blueprint: • A national reserve system • 15 regional Reserve Banks • A central governing board • Ability to expand/contract currency supply • Privately owned but federally supervised It wasn’t

From secret draft to national law The plan, dubbed the Aldrich Plan, was introduced to Congress. At first, it failed. But in 1913, with Woodrow Wilson in office and after political tweaks, it passed as the Federal Reserve Act. The Fed was born, and the public had no idea how.

Before the Fed, America was like this: • Each bank issued its own paper money • Credit was local, fragmented, and unreliable • Interest rates fluctuated wildly • Seasonal demand (like harvest season) caused cash shortages • Bank runs were common and devastating Result:

So what does the Fed do? Today, the Federal Reserve: • Controls interest rates • Regulates banks • Prints (and retracts) U.S. dollars • Acts as lender of last resort • Backs over $20 trillion in money, credit, and liquidity It is the most powerful financial institution in

But is it truly public? Or private? This is still debated. • The Fed is a public-private hybrid • Regional Fed banks are privately owned by commercial banks • But the Fed Chair is appointed by the President • Congress provides oversight but cannot dictate policy That

Why this story matters today Every time: • The Fed changes interest rates • Prints emergency stimulus • Bails out a bank • Talks inflation or recession… It’s executing a plan conceived in secrecy by unelected bankers on a private island over a century ago.

Even in 2025, the banks have total control over your money. That is not only limited to your bank balance but also credit cards. If they want, they can deny you using your credit card for a specific purpose, e.g. paying rent. That's why we built @trykashu so you can turn your

@jgreyfriend every man there is ugly. AF. ugly man syndrome is real.

@jgreyfriend How do you get to an island on a train, private or otherwise?

@jgreyfriend So what is the problem? In the past the big strong guys made themselves legit by 'defending' the people against enemies, for which they were paid. Oh and the enemies were real, like Vikings and Ghengis Khan etc. In the modern world we need strong financial institutions to keep

@jgreyfriend The "Mandrake Mechanism" is one of the most deceitful processes in human history.

@jgreyfriend Imagine having the power to print Monopoly money whenever you want, then lending that freshly created “fake” money to anyone you choose and charging them interest on it. That’s the ultimate pyramid scheme. And guess what? In 2025, we’re the ones stuck at the very bottom.

@jgreyfriend The decisions made behind closed doors, especially around fractional reserve banking, set the foundation for the financial instability we see today. It wasn’t heroic—it was calculated, and we’re still paying the price.

@jgreyfriend J. P. Morgan saved the American economy during the Panic of 1907 The Federal Reserve plays a crucial role in maintaining a stable well-functioning economy, and in managing the dollar's supply, is crucial to the dollar's position as a major reserve currency. Our reserve

@jgreyfriend It was an end around the Constitution and has destroyed the country in little over 100 years. Fuck those guys.

@jgreyfriend Give me a list of ideas how people could break away from using money printed by the federal reserve as forms of currency (eg crypto currencies).

@jgreyfriend It's the jews

@jgreyfriend A spiritual covenant was made that day by Woodrow Wilson. The USA was sold into slavery of men who worship the god of Mammon ever sis. It’s time to break this soul tie and dismantle this group. @JDVance @realDonaldTrump only a leaders in your position can undo this demonic vow.

@jgreyfriend @threadreaderapp unroll please

@jgreyfriend @mtntallpaul Their greatest feat was getting to an island by train!

@jgreyfriend As a native Georgian, I am at least a little satisfied to know that they were absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos and humidity. Jekyl in 1910 would have been a nightmare, despite their riches. Just sayin.

@jgreyfriend The creature from Jekyll island

@jgreyfriend Know that a digital version of this has happened as well. This is what bitcoin likely is.

@jgreyfriend Since then most people have gotten more poor and the elite rich got more wealthy.

@jgreyfriend Fake names with minors ofcourse for thier american disgusting fetish

@jgreyfriend Close down the private bank we call ‘The Federal Reserve’

@jgreyfriend Thank goodness it was done. Without those 6 we’d be in a socialist country rather than capitalism.

@jgreyfriend Woodrow Wilson arguably the worst president in US history.

@jgreyfriend American’s banking system wasn’t broken. It was market driven. Then it was hyjacked.

@jgreyfriend Long games, master plans….still capturing the value of will power today #BIS #crypto there testing a few private platforms now
