Well isn't this cute?

Just days after the Federal Reserve will announce it has launched QE2, the Fed will hold a major conference at  Jekyll Island, celebrating the secret meeting held 100 years ago that resulted in the creation of the Fed.

The island is off the coast of the U.S. state of Georgia.

In November 1910, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Department A.P. Andrews, and other top financiers,arrived at the Jekyll Island Club to discuss monetary policy and the banking system. The secret meetings led to the creation of the Federal Reserve.

The name of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Conference: 'A Return to Jekyll Island: The Origins, History, and Future of the Federal Reserve'

Its funny because some time ago, anyone saying that the Federal Reserve was created at a secret meeting of bankers at the Jekyll Island in 1910 was labeled a conspiracist.
