“The Federal Reserve itself is a tool of the banks. It’s a banking cartel. Trying to separate the banks from The Fed is an error. It’s one big happy thieving family. Any (and all) government regulations that are put in place (or removed) are done for the benefit of the entire system. The best way to picture it is to think of a giant octopus. The head is The Federal Reserve and the sprawling arms are the banks. ‘Regulations’ and ‘Deregulations’ are just fodder for the masses out there to think that ‘government is doing something’. To think that The Fed is some kind of ‘regulator’ is the same as thinking that the arsonist ‘regulates’ the fire.”
