Pastor:
Thanks for confirming my suspicions that the USD printing press is not
privately owned. It doesn't really matter much since so much of our "money"
is electronically generated by the more irrational elements of the private
sector.
About 10 +/- years ago there were a spate of postings on the internet
claiming that the IRS was a private company incorporated outside of the US,
and thus we didn't have to pay any income taxes. These stopped after the IRS
publicized several Supreme court rulings enabling the IRS to forcibly
collect income taxes, and I think the Feds went after these fanatics and
discouraged them from further spreading these misleading falsehoods (aka
lies).

Hmmm.
To use an - in this case unrepresentative - corporate analogy the
executive branch appoints the Fed board that takes all strategic
decisions.
The US treasury owns the net profits of the Fed system and can at its
sole discretion transfer said profits to the treasury or leave them in
reserves.
The "dividend" mentioned in the Fed's accounts are at a 5% fixed rate
on capital committed in cash to the reserve system (like a preferred
dividend), that for the vast majority of history has not come close to
covering member bank's cost of capital. In accounting this equates to
interest expense, not an economic share of profits generated as
accrues to shareholders in the ordinary sense; this is a distinction
not lost on the Fed's auditors in their statement of departures from
accounting convention, last time I checked.
Further, member banks can not sell any shares if they wish to retain a
banking license. On the contrary, member banks are obliged to
unconditionally subscribe for new issues as determined at the sole
discretion of the politically appointed board of governors from time
to time.
So, while the Fed member banks are for archaic reasons known as
"shareholders" they are not private owners of the Fed in any
meaningful sense.
Maybe that is why the sites you refer to disappeared; perhaps people
realized they were peddling misrepresentations so egregious that they
can only be accurately described as a pack of lies.
Nice indicator though ;-)
