I can’t think of any legitimate reason to refuse a FOIA request for this information.

I can’t imagine national security issues being involved etc.....they must comply, and hopefully a judge will order such.

The Fed Res. is off limits to audits and they are not accountable to anyone but their board members. The Fed is a conspiracy and anyone who at this late date denies this is an absolute fool. It is nothing more than a money cartel and always has been, brought to you by the Democrats in 1913.

Lincoln realized who was really pulling the strings and what was at stake for the American people. ... This is how he explained his monetary views:

"The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers(Just like the Constitution states!)... The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity... By the adoption of these principles, the long-felt want for a uniform medium will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. The financing of all public enterprises, and the conduct of the Treasury will become matters of practical administration. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity."

Meanwhile in Britain a truly incredible editorial in the London Times explained the Bank of England's attitude towards Lincoln's Greenbacks.

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become indurate down to a fixture, then the Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."

Keep in mind, by this time the European monarchs were already chained to their private central banks, hence the bankers' concern to preserve their captive monarchs. Within four days of the passage of the law that allowed Greenbacks to be issued, bankers met in convention in Washington to discuss the situation. It was agreed that Greenbacks would surely be their ruin. Something had to be done. They devised a scheme gradually to undermine the value of the Greenbacks.

The Fed is private, it’s not subject to govt rules.
