Talk:Jekyll Island

message: I thought the Conspiracy section was, amazingly, too POV on both sides -- first it dismisses "conspiracy theories" and then starts talking about "stealing" the 1912 election... I tried to make it as NPOV as possible.  Any source for the Forbes quote?  How about the Wilson quote -- how do we know he was referring to the Fed?  Also, all that stuff about JFK does not belong in this article -- maybe somewhere else, but not here.  I tried to keep the section focused entirely on what happened at Jekyll Island and not the larger issue of the Federal Reserve, 1912 elections, etc., all of which can be found elsewhere.

replies: text:  Well, Afelton and Bubba, I tried to explain both sides of the story.  It's called being fair and balanced.  I can appreciate you wanting to make it as NPOV as possible, but the 1912 election was directly affected by the events at Jekyll Island.  It's historical fact.  You say "altered."  I say "stolen."  The Forbes quote was found via a Google search.  Wilson's "I have betrayed my country" quote came from a video I've got called "Masters of the Universe" video.  Don't laugh!  It's not the Dolph Lundgren He-Man movie.  Download it.  I can understand your point about the JFK assassination, but I have reason to believe that event happened because he was going to break up the Federal Reserve in addition to neutering the CIA and bringing troops home from Vietnam. Allow me to thank you for using the phrase "central banking," though. GeorgeC 06:16, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

text:  The producer of that video is "UFO Central Home Video".  Its accuracy is highly doubtful.  There is no evidence of a link to the JFK assassination..  Bubba73 (talk) 14:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

text:  I don't disagree that the events at Jekyll Island may have altered the 1912 election, but think that the word "stolen" is POV -- it has negative connotations and if your definition of stolen is that a small group of people had undue influence, then just about every election would fall under that description, I think.  As for the Forbes quote--I think it is a good quote and probably authentic; I found a number of web sites with the same quote citing it as "CURRENT OPINION", December, 1916, p. 382.  I don't know if this is perfect validation because they all have exactly the same quote and citation style, indicating that one site is the source of it, but maybe someone has access to Forbes archives...  Also, I remain convinced that, even if one accepts the JFK assassination theory, it should not be in this article -- it is about the creation of the Fed...  Afelton 17:17, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi guys. I just noticed that there are lots of citations missing in the text. I added a "citation needed" tag where I think it's most crucial (to start with): namely the quotation of Forbes. FeelFreeToBe (talk) 02:19, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I moved this quote to the Jekyll Island Club article and cited the proper source.

message: The Jekyll Island Club was a social circle of the most elite and most wealthy men who called cities New York, Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia, home.  Only 1 original member of the Jekyll Island Club was from the south.  Many of the Jekyll Island Club’s members were not only active, high contributors to national and international societies in their day, but many are people with whom we still associate modern events and businesses.  When one thinks of the late 19th century, turn of the century and early 20th century, themes that come to mind are the industrial revolution, industry monopolies and large financial corporations.  These are exactly the people who were members of the club, making their fortunes in locomotives, lumber shipping, financing, real estate, and oil.  Some members whose names and family contributions, which are still recognizable today, areJekyll Island Club Membership Roster. Administrative record. Jekyll Island Club.  1886-1942. Vertical files.

The * indicates members who became known as the “Cottage Colony”, the group of club members who built private cottages instead of taking advantage of the accommodations provided by the Jekyll Island Clubhouse.  Originally, the Cottage Colony consisted of 16 club member cottages and 2 employee cottages; today only 11 club member cottages remain.

thread_title: The ''Jekyll Island Club'' Members

message: Theres a minor incovenience here: "At the end of November 1910, Senator Nelson W. Aldrich and Assistant Secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department ([Special Assistant of the National Monetary Commission)] A. Piatt Andrew, and 6 more of the country's leading financiers (Frank Vanderlip, president of the National City Bank of New York, Henry P. Davison, senior partner of J.P. Morgan Company, and generally regarded as Morgan’s personal emissary; and Charles D. Norton, president of the Morgan-dominated First National Bank of New York. Joining the group just before the train left the station were Benjamin Strong, also known as a lieutenant of J.P. Morgan; and Paul Warburg, a recent immigrant from Germany who had joined the banking house of Kuhn, Loeb) 
Now no matter how many times I count, I get only five persons from the brackets section. Now of course I would've fixed this problem myself, but naturally can't start guessing who this missing person is. So to anyone who knows either add the missing person or if there were only five more then the correction could be made in that direction (besides, to my knowledge there were 10 participants). Anyways, since I couldn't be sure, I can't edit this error in any direction. So anyone who knows, could you please correct this matter. Thank you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.153.36.199 (talk) 17:01, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
