“The Hidden Hand – The Federal Reserve and the Secret History of America’s Bank”

Episode 15 – The Hidden Hand 

They told you the Federal Reserve was part of the government. They told you it existed to protect the economy and stabilize the dollar. But the truth is far darker. 

In this episode of Black Tape Report, host William Brown uncovers the secret origins of America’s most powerful financial institution—the Federal Reserve. From the shadowy meeting on Jekyll Island in 1910 to the passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913, this story reveals how private bankers and political insiders created a system that looks public… but serves private power. 

Who really controls America’s money supply? Who profits from every crisis, bailout, and boom-and-bust cycle? And why has the truth about the Fed remained buried in secrecy for over a century? 


The Hidden Hand peels back the illusion to show how the Federal Reserve operates above presidents, beyond Congress, and outside of democracy itself. 


The Fed doesn’t serve the people. It never did.
