Forbes founder B.C. Forbes, writing in 1916:

Picture a party of the nation’s greatest bankers stealing out of New York on a private railroad car under cover of darkness, stealthily riding hundreds of miles South, embarking on a mysterious launch, sneaking on to an island deserted by all but a few servants, living there a full week under such rigid secrecy that the names of not one of them was once mentioned lest the servants learn the identity and disclose to the world this strangest, most secret expedition in the history of American finance. I am not romancing. I am giving to the world, for the first time, the real story of how… the foundation of our new currency system, was written.

Picture it indeed.

We maintain our occupation of Jekyll Island, Georgia. This we do in order to penetrate the mystery-laden origins of the Federal Reserve… as a police detective may visit a crime scene in search of clues.
