I do admittedly wish all of the people who, even after 4 years of Bidan, should get a separate government to their liking. And that would include an IRS-like system. They fought for it after all. But I fear I sin in my wish... for I would the Lord extend me mercy for my mistakes.

just saw your comment, when I read Carroll Quigley’s book Tragedy & Hope, the historian included influential families like Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan….

The Federal Reserve stock is owned by the 12 regional banks, and so New York had J.P. Morgan - Chase (a merger of Morgan and Rockefeller banks) as an influential bank. SF has Wells Fargo as a prominent member back.

So how do the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, Morgans, Kuhn Loeb, Schiff, Warburg, and DuPont families get their influence as past Payseur, Harriman, Bush & Kennedy families and past“robber barron” families get their influence?

Money talks, they lobby, support politicians, get their guys into leadership positions at the Fed, universities, in the press. They owned the banks that made up the #1 regional New York Fed, and for the other 11 they supply capital investment, supply the oil for industry, make deals…

The New York Fed once held 12,000 tons of gold, and supposedly the USA has in reserves 8,000 tons or 256,000,000 ounces (if the reserves are accurate). https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/new-york-fed

Descendants of these families might still have stock in banks that own parts of each 12 member regional Federal Reserve banks that in turn own The Federal Reserve, but with changing influence over time families once prominent do not stand out so much

Wish I had picked up more when it was $25/oz.

It’s fun to say that, but phrasing it as “where future $1 spot is $100.”
