My Book Review of The Creature from Jekyll Island

My Book Review of 'The Creature from Jekyll Island'

Writer: G. Edward Griffin

The Federal Reserve System, the 'Fed' was conceived during a very secret meeting among an 'elite' group of men, on the island named 'Jekyll', off the coast of Georgia, in 1910. 

          Book cover

Mr Griffin analyzes the development of the Federal Reserve System. 

Also, he completes extensive research on the negative effect of the 'Fed' on our economy.  

The 'secret' meeting was held with six very important/elite men.  

Based on Mr Griffin's calculations, the six men held 1/4 of the entire world's wealth at that time. 

The men held interests of the following wealthy families of:

Rockefeller's, 

Morgan's, 

Rothschild's, and 

Warburg's; who met with the Republican Senator of 

Mr Nelson Aldrich at the Island.  

Mr Griffin takes the reader through a well organized journey; with 26 insightful chapters. 

The most interesting part of the book, in my opinion was, section II. 

This section presents a lengthy look at the monetary system, the gold based currency and finally the fiat currency. 

Mr Griffin presents a pessimistic view of USA with the 'Fed' and gives clear insight into abolishing this organization. 

In many areas of the book, Mr Griffin offers specific reasons why the 'Fed' should be abolished.  He gives the reader evidence and researched proof to back his claims.  

In conclusion, The book 'The Creature from Jekyll Island' is an interesting, easy read, that will intrigue all readers.  I did enjoy the detailed journey through the monetary system of the world and USA. 

I believe everyone should make time to read this educational and insightful book. 

Thank you for reading,

----------

I was in another lifetime, one of toil and blood,

When blackness was a virtue, and the road was full of mud,

I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

And if I pass this way again, you can rest assured,

I'll always do my best for her, on that I give my word,

In a world of steel-eyed death, and men who are fighting to be warm,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Not a word was spoke between us, there was little risk involved,

Everything up to that point, had been left unresolved,

Try imagining a place where, it's always safe and warm,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,

Poisoned in the bushes, and blown out on the trail,

Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Suddenly I turned around, and she was standing there,

With silver bracelets on her wrists, and flowers in her hair,

She walked up to me so gracefully, and took my crown of thorns,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Now there's a wall between us, something there's been lost,

I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed,

Just to think that it all began, on a long-forgotten morn,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Well the deputy walks on hard nails, and the preacher rides a mount,

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts,

And the one-eyed undertaker, he blows a futile horn,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove,

And old men with broken teeth stranded without love,

Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes,

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose,

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".

Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line,

Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine,

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born,

"Come in" she said,

"I'll give you shelter from the storm".
