No. But I'm going with conspiracy #2.
Others knew about it.
“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.” —Thomas Jefferson, 1802
This is what Wilson DID say for sure:
“A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is privately concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men … [W]e have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated, governments in the civilized world—no longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and the duress of small groups of dominant men.” – Woodrow Wilson, from his 1913 book titled The New Freedom
“Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people.” — President Theodore Roosevelt, An Autobiography, 1913 (Appendix B)
“The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know, that a financial element in the large centers has owned the government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson.” — President Franklin Roosevelt, in a letter to an associate dated November 21, 1933
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed. It conducts the Cold War, in short, with a war-time discipline no democracy would ever hope or wish to match.” — John F Kennedy on April 27, 1961
And here are a few from other political figures:
Former New York mayor John Hylan, in 1922, summed it up this way: “The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over our city, state and nation … At the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers [who] virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes.”
“The real rulers in Washington are invisible and exercise power from behind the scenes.” — Felix Frankfurter, Justice of the Supreme Court (1939-1962)
“Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system, another body representing another form of government, a bureaucratic elite which believes our Constitution is outmoded.” — Senator William Jenner , 1954
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.“ — William Casey, former CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)
