Don't be fooled. They are a government shill company, not a "private" company. They are owned by, crowd-funded by, directed by, regulated by, monitored by and answer to, the US government.
No, they are owned by the Rothschilds like every other bank (and government) in the world, bar a small few.
The Rothschilds are not american. They do not care about America, America does not benefit from the federal reserve. This is the same for nearly every country in the world.
America became great after the war for independence and the constitution having room for multiple competing currencies...
100 years ago when the federal reserve act was signed was when it all started to reverse.
This is why crypto currency is so terrific. It could save america and all the other countries that are quietly accepting the deplorable ponzie scheme that is central banking and fractional lending.
