ruled the United States with the aid of an intimate friend, her "military 

aide", Col. Rixey Smith. As everyone was shut out of their deliberations, 

no one ever knew which of the pair functioned as the President, and 

which was the Vice President.

The admirers of Woodrow Wilson were led for decades by Bernard 

Baruch, who stated that Woodrow Wilson was the greatest man he 

ever knew. Wilson’s appointments to the Federal Reserve Board, and 

that body’s responsibility for financing the First World War, as well as

more of a shock than he could bear. The Italian Minister Pentaleoni 

expressed the feelings of the European peoples when he wrote that:

"Woodrow Wilson is a type of Pecksniff who was now disappeared 

amid universal execration."

It is America’s misfortune that our subsidized press and educational 

system have been devoted to enshrining a man who colluded in 

causing so much death and sorrow throughout the world.

The financial cartel suffered only minor setbacks in those crucial years. 

On February 12, 1917, The New York Times reported that "The five 

members of the Federal Reserve Board were impeached on the floor
