Fed has starring role in 'Return to Jekyll Island'
Source: Washington Post

They are gathering this weekend at the very resort on the Georgia coast where one hundred years ago a group of bankers and finance experts met to craft what would eventually become the Federal Reserve System.

Indeed, the 1910 Jekyll Island gathering has long been viewed by conspiracy theorists as the root of what they consider to be the central bank's shadowy, elitist ways. There is even a Fed-bashing book called "The Creature from Jekyll Island."

Now, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is hosting a conference titled "Return to Jekyll Island." It may sound like the sequel to a bad horror movie, but it is in fact a meeting that aims to examine the full scope of the Fed's history (see the agenda here).

3. I read a book about this many years ago. It sure would make for a great movie.
Wonder why Hollywood or an independent film company hasn't done anything with it?

At any rate, there are all kinds of secret and even very public meetings among the elite
to decide on policy, to groom potential government/judicial stooges, etc. It's been going
on for a long, long time.
