Federal Reserve - private or government owned?

Most of the rhetoric about the Federal Reserve being private originally comes from the John Birch Society and other right-wing populist groups.

There are two main conspiracist variants:

secular: secret banking elites own the Fed to suck money out of the middle class. See: G. Edward Griffin, The Creature from Jekyll Island.

antisemitic: same as above but it is Jewish bankers controlled by the Rothschilds. See: Eustace Mullins, Secrets of the Federal Reserve.

Search the web on these two titles and open Pandora's box.
