This institution was created by The Federal Reserve Act of 1913 by the US Congress and signed by the then president Woodrow Wilson. The seven board members of The Federal Reserve are appointed by the president, obviously politicizing any decision by the chairmen. Even more importantly, Thomas DiLorenzo points out that the ultimate decision making does not actually rest with the Federal Reserve chairman but rather with the executive branch of the government.

This borrowing spree cannot and will not go on forever as AIPAC and everyone else appear to believe. I see interest rates soaring and America unable to borrow money to buy oil. Push soon turns to shove as millions of us with guns try to secure gas.

Our actions show that we are in the last stages of the American experiment. What comes afterwards in anyone's guess, but I wouldn't expect it to be a re-igniting of liberty and freedom.

Yet Hornberger says, citizens a still in that jeopardy of denial of rights under it. Is that true? Are you aware of the language limiting it to "aliens"?
