Quote from ratboy88:
actually the manner in which the fed reserve act was passed was akin to this amnesty crap we are seeing now. they passed it the day before Christmas when most representatives had gone home for the holiday.
How did it happen? After previous attempts to push the Federal Reserve Act through Congress, a "group of bankers" (they were members of the Round Table Group, which changed its name in 1920 to: THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS) funded and staffed Woodrow Wilson's campaign for President. He had committed to sign this act. In 1913, Nelson Aldrich, a Senator, and the maternal grandfather to the Rockefellers, pushed the Federal Reserve Act through Congress just before Christmas when much of Congress was on vacation (Reference 3, 4, 5). When elected, Wilson passed the Federal Reserve Act. Later, Wilson remorsefully replied (referring to the FED), "I have unwittingly ruined my country"
