The people in this country are blinded by the politicians,it's a must read by all who vote and the ones that are going to vote. Know who they are, what they are, and what they are going to do to this country and you, it's a long read but a hard to put down fascinating book.

This is one of the most important history books most of us will ever read. Well worth the price and the time it takes to read.

Ding-a-ding-ding-ding-a-ding.... On a warm summer night, on a train bound for Jekyll Island, I met up with a group of robber barons and we plotted to usurp the financial infrastructure of the US, with a cabal of institutions known as federal reserve banks, that were private in nature, neither federal nor banks...
As noted by a previous reviewer, I found this to be written at an 8th grade level, both in style and substance. The author notes that a reader might be intimidated by the number of pages, so to expedite reading, chapter summaries can be read that will easily explain the information.
In fact, the book is a very easy read, one that can be knocked out in a weekend. It's simplistic, humourous, and loaded with inaccuracies.
Libertarians with guns should leave the business of government to the eggheads. Trust me, we're much better off that way.
Don't tell my other books... June 21, 2009

I treat my books like they are my children- and I know you shouldn't pick favorites- but this is by far my favorite book that wasn't divinely inspired.
Griffin is meticulous in footnotes and citations- which I verified a number of them as being accurate. Though the topic can seem intimidating- the book reads as easy as conversation- but not condescendingly.
Between this book and "Tragedy & Hope" by Carroll Quigley- it should be quite obvious to the reader that strange things are afoot in our dear Republic.
Griffin's predictions for the future course of the world- entitled "A Pessimistic Scenario"- is shocking at how close he is to what is currently happening in our economy today. In terms of bailing out banks & large corporations. Giving more power to the Fed- which has recently been discussed by the Obama admin. By giving more money to the IMF- as of last week they were given a few billion. The coming civil "opportunities" which will eventually turn into mandatory service of the young. ie- Read Rahm Emmanuel's "The Plan."
In other words ladies & gents- we're screwed and the tentacles have gone too deep. Hold on, the next few years are going to be a bumpy ride.
