Agree that the Fed is not your ordinary bank....it has some "superpowers" because of the US Federal Reserve Act AND the fact that the dollar is the world's reserve currency per Bretton Woods. (sp?)

However, it is not owned by the US government. It is owned by private parties.

[Captain Kirk]

Ownership in what sense? Can they sell or transfer this ownership to someone else? Can they file for bankruptcy? If not, ownership is a fiction, even more so that the head of state powers of Queen Elizabeth II.
