“What every American needs to know about central bank power. A gripping adventure into the secret world of the international banking cartel.”
– Mark Thornton, Asst. Professor of Economics, Auburn Univ. Coordinator Academic Affairs, Ludwig von Mises Institute

In “Frankenstein”, Mary Shelley tell cautionary tales of scientists abusing their creative powers to exist in another sphere where they cannot be directly blamed for their actions. Their aim is to build a supreme being who will also develop violent tendencies and commit crimes.

In “The Creature from Jekyll Island”, G. Edward Griffin tells the same kind of story except that the scientists are some knowledgeable and powerfull bankers and their Creature is the Federal Reserve Bank. Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. in 1913, testified: “When the President signs this bill, the invisible government of the monetary power will be legalized….the worst legislative crime of the ages is perpetrated by this banking and currency bill.”

The players were Paul Warburg, a German-American Banker, Sen. Nelson Aldrich from the Republican Party - whose daughter married John D. Rockefeller’s unique son - who dominated the National Monetary Commission, Frank Vanderlip, Rockefeller’s Protege and President of National City Bank (Rockefeller’s banking house), Benjamin Strong, Vice-President of J.P. Morgan’s Banker’s Trust of New York.

The plot was setup after the severe panic of 1907: The Federal Reserve Act was proposed in 1908 by Nelson Aldrich in the Aldrich-Vreeland Act.
