John F. Hylan Quote 

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like
a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities states and nation.
At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as
'international bankers.' This little coterie... run our government for
their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created
screen...[and] seizes...our executive officers... legislative bodies...
schools... courts... newspapers and every agency created for the public
protection."

by:
John F. Hylan
(1868-1936), Mayor of New York City (1918-1925), nicknamed "Red Mike"

Invisible?

Invisible my ass!

I drive 80 miles a day on a road named after him (Hylan Blvd.). I now have a new appreciation for this guy.

Don't bury your head in the sand, warren. Hylan is absolutely bang on. It wasn't long after his mayorship that the very same bankers crashed the US economy and brought us the Great Depression which ushered in The Raw Deal that robbed Americans of every gold dollar they owned.
 -- E Archer, NYC		 
This seemed to be more accurate with the goose stepping neocons but now that the Obamunist has taken the helm, that giant octopus with its sprawling slimy legs is out in the open more than ever.
 -- Mike, Norwalk		 
Watch now for the deliberate crashing of the economy, preceded by the appropriate dog and pony show of "oh well, we tried". These "bail outs" are going to finish off what's left of the dollar. Get ready...

My guest this Saturday morning (wezs.com/advocates 8:05 eastern) is RedState contributor Francis Cianfrocca: “It was clear that bankruptcy will be the next step for General Motors from the day that President Barack Obama (or his cat’s paw, Steven Rattner, the “car czar”) fired CEO Rick Wagoner.” bnyoung@metrocast.net

Go to freedomtofascism.com and watch the 15 minute trailer from the documentary, "America:Freedom to Fascism" and reflect on and research the info.

Bankruptsy for GM would be for the best. GM could then restructure and get out of those abominable union contracts that are causing them to lose billions. Under these contracts they can sell plenty of cars and still lose money.The "bail out" wasn't to save GM, it was to save the unions. The Dems have been sold out to the unions for years.

The point is clear that there will always be conspiracy nuts in the public arena. This guy said this in 1920 or so and some on this site are still saying it today. Conspiracy theorists are simply guys who do not know what they are talking about. It is like Steve ? in the movie "The Jerk" when he learned that his name was in the phone book he thought he was somebody. Conspiracy theories are borne out of the fact that one is ignorant of things or facts. Just because you do not know something does not mean that it is a secret. You just are uneducated about that issue, fact or history. I mean really get a life.
 -- Waffler, Smith		 
There has been a conspiracy to change this country from a capitalist/free-to-succed-free-to-fail country for decades. And for those who wanted the change, it is here now in the form of Barack Obama. And for those of us who knew this was THEIR goal we will not accept that. If we are part of a conspiracy to stop THEIR conspiracy - so be it!
 -- Niel Young, Laconia, NH		 
Thanks Waff, for letting us know what ignorance is...
 -- J Carlton, Calgary		 
Being ignorant is no crime Carlton, being stupid and thinking that others who do know something are therefore conspiring is a horse of a different color.
 -- Waffler, Smith		 
So, "being stupid and thinking that others who do know something are therefore conspiring" is a crime?
 -- Logan, Memphis, TN		 
Yes Logan it is an intellectual crime. Does the word intellect have any meaning for you. Saying or swallowing when you hear it "the US is a republic not a democracy" is a great example of an intellectual crime.
 -- Waffler, Smith		 
Waffler is like a shot of fresh air at a flatulence festival..good job cuz.
