If US citizens only knew !! The first bank of the US, the second bank on the US and the federal reserve were created by the same empire. The red shield or "Rothschild". They changed their name from German Bauer to Rothschild for financial reasons. The Federal reserve was created in the dark of night on Jeckyl island off the coast of georgia in 1910. Enacted into law by their chosen president in 1913. I truly fear for the life of Ron Paul if he attempts to eliminate the "Fed". The empire will terminate him as they have done before. The Afro americans are right. History has never been the truth as taught in the education system.
