Well something to think about all right.

At the inception of the "Federal" Reserve, of course our paper money WAS backed by gold and/or silver.

The other thing is that 3 of the conspirators...ooops, sorry, I meant founders, were on board the Titanic. I believe that to be just chance. Wealthy people traveled that way in those days and hubris is the ideal ingredient for disaster.

Another "coincidence" is that James Pierpont Morgan had a reservation on the Titanic's maiden voiage. Perhaps he even invited the three opponents of what was agreed upon on Jekyl Island in 1910 to try to get them to see it his way. Anyway, J.P.Morgan canceled his ticket at the last moment.

....., but it's probably just a coincidence.

Not three of the founders. Three ardent opponents. One of them was Gloria van der Bilt's paternal grandfather.

I am not a coincidence theorist.
