No.

Its not a Jewish conspiracy either just in case that's your follow up. 

Same answer for New World Order, Trilateral Commission, Communist Party, Bilderbergs and umpteen other people who do not own the Fed.

Well, it's owned and managed by both private banks and the government, which is in turn 'owned'(/corrupted) by private banks.

So, although indirectly, yes.

Oh and to answer your follow-up question. The bail-out money went to private banks. The thing you just suggested happened is a very accurate description of what private banks are in business for. So that's another yes.

My understanding is that it is a privately owned corporation, but their corporate charter is a federal statute rather than an ordinary corporate charter.  The member banks are the shareholders, but being a shareholder doesn't confer the usual control that a normally chartered corporation would have.  As in, the "owners" can't change the bylaws, etc.

1)No.

Its not a 2)Jewish conspiracy either just in case that's your follow up. 

Same answer for 3)New World Order, Trilateral Commission, Communist Party, Bilderbergs and umpteen other people who do not own the Fed.
1) It is all a matter of perspective. If control and ownership are not synonymous, then it is irrelevant who owns it, but more appropriate who controls its actions. From my understanding the FED acts independent of government whose interest should be, the prosperity of the people.  If the Fed was under control of government it would let the "owners" audit the books. 

2) Or an Al-Qaeda funding body (can't prove it just saying), the question did not provoke anything to do with religion.

3) If you think of the New World in Historical terms, the world that materialised out of the monarchies and dynasties of Europe and Asia, then America and Australia are classic examples of the New World.  The reins of powered are very much rooted in the central banks of the world.  We are living in the New World now it isn't a conspiracy, the next world order "the conspiracy theories hype" won't be calling it the new world order, it'll have a new name. We are in the New World now, and it has an Order to it that isn't working to the benefit of the people, and can't be changed through democratic processes, so no need to call it conspiracy, it is fact.

Max Keiser did a very well job of explaining why people like myself can't give a shit about no illuminati or bilderberg or whatever conspiracy you can come up with: we clearly don't NEED any of these conspiracy's to prove that we're all being exploided by a small elite group.

Not to feed into conspiracies but it is not (new world) order but rather new (world order). A change in the way the world is run.

The point is the same. It's not a conspiracy, it's just plain facts. The world is being run by an international oligarchy.

I know what you mean.  I spent time in Singapore and London - the class of people who live at the top there have no country or race.  They have billions in capital and are free to live off their investments close to tax free while their maids pay taxes.

Question is; isn't that how capitalism is meant to work?  People who inherit capital live tax free off investments.  Their investments create jobs for the peons.  The peon's salaries create demand for products which leads to economic growth.  All seems to be working as planned.

No - thats an implementation detail.  As is the ECB and the Fed.  I meant that there is indeed an oligarchy of rich powerful people who are beyond taxation and largely beyond the law.  But that is how you would expect things to work...in any game there will be winners and inheritance means that some people are born certain to win.

Not run by them but seriously influenced.  If millionaires formed a political party, they would have the overwhelming majority of Congress, the Judiciary and the Presidency.

And the poor, who are by definition more numerous than even the praetorian class, will also have guns. If it comes to a shooting war... well, there's a reason kings don't have a lot of power anymore. Wink
