Maybe start with the Federal Reserve not being a federal bank and being a private bank that is charging the US interest on money that we borrow from them. Ask if they know the difference between a federal reserve note and a US Treasury note and why that would make a difference in the value of our dollar.

You can't win if your friend trusts mainstream, "trusted" sources. Everything you present that could counter them would be "conspiracy theory".

G. Edward Griffin and his book "The Creature from Jekyll Island" is what I consider to be a "gateway resource", along with John Perkins "Confessions of an Economic Hitman", that "normies" can tolerate. Some eventually make the shift away from mainstream sources.

But I've never helped "shift" anybody with an internet article or YouTube video, regardless of how many facts and truths are in it. It's almost like the brainwashed normie needs to "hold" the information in their hands for a period of time....don't ask me why. It's just been my experience thus far....

In any case, good luck!

The Rothschild banking dynasty has strategically distanced their name from modern-day central banking while still exerting influence, primarily through proxies, complex financial networks, and discreet partnerships. Here’s how they’ve done it:

1. Gradual Withdrawal from Public Ownership

Throughout the 20th century, the Rothschild family gradually removed their name from high-profile banking institutions, selling direct ownership stakes but retaining influence through partnerships and advisory roles.

In 2003, the Rothschild family took their primary holding company, Rothschild Continuation Holdings, private. This reduced public transparency while maintaining control behind closed doors.

2. Use of Financial Proxies and Shell Corporations

The family employs proxy organizations, holding companies, and investment vehicles to maintain influence over central banks and financial institutions without direct name association.

Examples of proxies and influential entities:

Rothschild & Co.: While still carrying the name, it functions more as an advisory firm, often partnering with other banks and hedge funds.

BlackRock and Vanguard: Although not directly linked to the Rothschilds, these massive asset management firms hold significant shares in central banks and major corporations. There is speculation that wealthy banking dynasties use these firms as proxies to conceal direct ownership.

Interlocking Directorships: The Rothschilds are believed to hold influence through board seats, partnerships, and silent stakes in financial conglomerates.

3. Influence Through Central Bank Relationships

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the "central bank of central banks," is rumored to be influenced by elite banking families. While the Rothschild name is not officially listed, their network of financial institutions maintains close ties to BIS and major central banks.

Historical influence: The Rothschilds were deeply involved in the creation of the Bank of England and have historically influenced the Federal Reserve through relationships with key figures like Paul Warburg, whose family had close ties to the Rothschilds.

4. Elite Private Networks and Policy Influence

The Rothschilds exert influence through membership in elite policy groups, including:

The Bilderberg Group – Annual meetings where powerful banking, political, and corporate elites shape global economic policies.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) – Though not directly linked, Rothschild-affiliated bankers and investors frequently participate, influencing financial narratives.

Through these networks, they influence policies without direct public association.

5. Diversified Investments in Private Equity and Hedge Funds

Rather than operating directly through central banks, the Rothschilds have shifted to private equity, sovereign wealth funds, and infrastructure investments, which exert indirect influence over global finance.

They invest in sectors that central banks influence, such as real estate, energy, and technology, allowing them to benefit from monetary policies without direct involvement.

tl;dr - The Rothschilds have deliberately reduced their public footprint in central banking while retaining influence through proxies, partnerships, and indirect financial mechanisms. By operating through multinational firms, hedge funds, and private equity, they have obscured their direct involvement while maintaining substantial financial influence.

Never say shit unless you have the facts/links on hand or bookmarked to back it up. Because yes, you could look FOS for attempting “teaching” unbacked/no fact statements, that someone could easily Google around you. And lefties or MSM Sheeple will freely call you a “conspiracy nut” afterwards for not presenting backup.

And it’s not that the Rothschilds own them per-say in name, but are one of thee largest investors or stock controllers of central banking funds; along with several other known centuries made wealthy families.

They don't own the Fed directly and openly. They own it by virtue of owning the private banks that comprise the Fed. And their ownership of the banks is indirect as well, through trusts and institutions, making it hard to pin their names directly.

But proving that the Fed is a private institution, and not a government agency, is simple enough, but still takes diligence to go through the snowjob of obfuscation they throw in your face for daring to doubt. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Reserve Just going through the first paragraph and the structure section of Wikipedia is enough to know that the gobbledygook is hiding something. When you go through it, it shows that the ownership is held by private banks, and the profit is kept by private banks, and the government is basically window dressing.

Other central banks are probably simpler to describe with regard to the ownership structure (private bank), but harder to prove in that they have less disclosure.

The Rothchilds themselves used to brag how they make trillions in every federal reserve world wide. They used to be worth trillions now they are not they have resorted to selling off stuff because they dont have the money any more.

I believe it was the white hats that did that. So Rothchilds may not have those federal reserves any more.

You need to start with the US Constitution. The treasury shall set weights and measures and SHALL (in legislative terms "shall" is absolute) issue coins and money's of gold and silver. Sooo...where does the Federal Reserve come from? Now your conversation has a factual and relevant starting point. Buy two copies of The Creature from Jeckyl Island. You read one and let your friend read the other. Then you two and the rest of us can make this required reading for our posterity in the schools we just got back.

Any bank taking federal reserve fiat notes who practice fractional banking are controlled by the privately owned federal reserve. They operate accordingly. Federal reserve doesn't do business with just anyone.

here’s a short intro by the St. Louis Fed: https://www.stlouisfed.org/in-plain-english/who-owns-the-federal-reserve-banks

“… Federal Reserve Banks are set up like private corporations. Member banks hold stock in the Federal Reserve Banks and earn dividends. Holding this stock does not carry with it the control and financial interest given to holders of common stock in for-profit organizations. The stock may not be sold or pledged as collateral for loans.”

How does a bankers-owned central bank system adversely affect an entire nation? Here’s a film made in 2010 by Canadian concerned citizens and a youth group.

If you watch the first 40 minutes, it’s educational and entertaining, and can get your friend to watch it, I think this will help. Just as Canadians are adversely affected by their central bank and debt-based monetary system, so is the USA and many other countries of the world.

Most people know very little about money. Strangely, it does not feature very strongly in any school curricula. I think many in the US are slightly more clued up than we in the UK because there they seem to have a greater interest in stocks and shares.

Consequently, we tend to think that ownership is everything but as one of the Rockefellers pointed out: You should own nothing but control everything. For one thing, if you do not own it you cannot be taxed on it! It is one of the reasons that there are trust funds. You "give away" your money to a trust fund, you run the trust fund and get it to pay you a large salary for running the fund.

The fund can invest the money just as you might have done yourself but no-one can take it from you because it is not yours. Also, there is no problem with passing it on after your death. You just make sure that your children are trustees. So no death taxes, either. Caveat: I am not an expert and this is NOT financial advice!

According to this article, the Federal Reserve was set up by Congress and is run by a Board of Governors which is an independent government agency.

The trick seems to be that the Board of Governors comprises mainly people selected by the member banks which are privately owned. So, plausible deniability is built-in but when you dig the private owners really have the control.
