============> You can read the book of Edwin Griffin here (http://www.thevenusproject.com/downloads/ebooks/6479760-The-Creature-from-Jekyll-Island-by-Edward-Griffin.pdf). He is in the film "THRIVE".
From the Introduction ...
"
Back in 1910, Jekyll Island was completely privately owned by a small group of millionaires from New York. We're talking about people such as J. P. Morgan,
William Rockefeller and their associates. This was a social club and it was called
"The Jekyll Island Club." They owned the island and it was where their families
came to spend the winter months. There was a magnificent structure there, the
clubhouse, which was the center of their social activities. That clubhouse is still
there, by-the-way. The island has since been purchased by the state of Georgia,
converted into a state park and the clubhouse has been restored and you can
visit it. I think you'd be very impressed by it. As you walk through the downstairs
corridors you'll come to a door and on the door there is a brass plaque and it
says: "In this room the Federal Reserve System was created." This is not a
secret anymore; it's a matter of public record. Around the clubhouse there were
some cottages as they were called which were built by some of the families to
quarter themselves. They're attractive little things; they were magnificent
examples of the architecture of the turn of the century. One of the cottages
through which they take tours if you're interested in doing that, as I recall the
guide told us that there were 14 bathrooms in that cottage--not exactly what we
would call a cottage.
The clubhouse is where the Federal Reserve System was created. Let's retell
that story in detail and see how it came about. The year was 1910, that was three
years before the Federal Reserve Act was finally passed into law. It was
November of that year when Senator Nelson Aldrich sent his private railroad car
to the railroad station in New Jersey and there it was in readiness for the arrival
of himself and six other men who were told to come under conditions of great
secrecy. For example, they were told to arrive one at a time and not to dine with
each other on the night of their departure. They were told that should they arrive
at the station at the same time they should pretend like they didn't even know
each other. They were instructed toavoid newspaper reporters at all cost
because they were well-known people and had they been seen by a reporter
they would've asked questions. Especially if two or three of them had been
spotted together, this would've raised eyebrows and they would've asked a lot of
questions. One of the men carried a shotgun in a big black case so that if he had
been stopped and asked where he was going he was prepared to say that he
was going on a duck hunting trip. The interesting thing about that part of the story
is that we find out later from his biographer that this man never fired a gun in his
life, in fact he borrowed that shotgun just to carry with him on this trip as part of
the deception."
