Strange how someone in the field doesn't seem to know how the Fed works. It's a consortium of 12 PRIVATE banks, given limited oversight in exchange for the power to "print" money out of thin air.

This "warning" about usurping authority comes about 80 years too late, and is far too vague, though Henry Ford wasn't much more explicit, "It is well that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning."
