Ironically, President Woodrow Wilson blows the whistle on the Washington establishment: It is interesting because it was Woodrow Wilson who wrote this: ^^ The reality of what the free press refers to as "Wilsonian idealism"- to bring democracy to the world. According to the former President, he was "under the control of the heads of great allied corporations with special interests" when he wrote it.
Woodrow Wilson was the single greatest perpetrator of harm in the history of the United States. The man makes Ted Bundy look like a saint. If you include the legacy of foreign intervention, unconstitutional accumulation of power in the executive (especially when it comes to war), and domestic totalitarianism, I don't think it's outrageous to consider his legacy's damage as more voluminous than Hitler's - whose was vehemently halted upon his death. He's made foreign intervention the norm to this day by by linking domestic prosperity to the submission of foreign nations. His efforts at the Paris Peace Conference helped spark the Russian Revolution, favoring a strong Russia to balance Japan. He made the world safe for colonial expansion. He was one of the most (if not the most) vehemently racist people who have ever held the Presidency. He significantly contributed to the Great Depression though his easy-money schemes and the Federal Reserve. He may not have signed the 16th amendment, but he was the first to raise such taxes to high levels, by instigating sharply graduated income and inheritance taxes. He strengthened anti-trust legislation which in many cases only served to provide special privileges to those being regulated. He began prohibition and is largely responsible for the decade of crime that followed - in doing so he provided the foundation for organized crime in the 20th century. He gave the executive the power to control any transaction in which a foreign nation had an interest, censor any communication to a foreign nation, involuntarily conscript citizens, and seize property. He attempted nation-building on an unprecedented scale - appointing politicians to oversee food and industrial production, railways, etc. The Lever Food and Control Act gave him the power to fix prices. The Overman Act gave the executive the power to reorganize the responsibilities of executive agencies without congressional approval. He vetoed the repeal of the Espionage and Sedition acts. He arrested over 5000 resident aliens without warrants, a right to council, or information about the charged they were accused of. He at first had women suffragists arrested, even though he eventually caved to the pressure and gave them the right to vote. In the League of Nations (the precursor to the UN), Wilson opposed a statement on racial equality. As the OP states, he began the neo-conservative process of spreading "democracy" (as in, whatever Woodrow wants), to the world - by force. Wilson's Presidency was a complete disaster from whichever perspective you look at it. Many credit FDR with spawning the welfare/interventionist/totalitarian state, but Wilson made this all possible. In many cases FDR merely took Wilson's programs and reinstituted them. The right has plenty to hate in Wilson, as does the left. The above was paraphrased from Recarving Rushmore, by Ivan Eland, among other sources. [hr][/hr] Woodrow Wilson didn't blow the whistle on the Washington establishment, he was the Washington establishment.
wilson sold out americans signing the federal reserva act as well.Wilson and every president since Hoover with the exception of one of them"wont mention his name,will just say he served in office for a very short time in the 60's" everyone of them has committed crimes against humanity that rival Hitler,stalins,pol pots,ect ect.the american sheople are just too brainwashed to figure it out and understand they have been brainwashed by our corrupt school system. every president since Hoover with that one exception has been the washington establishment as well serving them instead of us.
Wison also forced a defeated Germany to accept very harsh terms after WW1. Terms so harsh Germany and its people were in a very dire situation for a number of years such that when Hitler seized power his message of taking back lost territories in the war was accepted by the people as right and correct. This all feed into the start of WW2.
I WW's time, the corporations were pretty much "national". What is worse today is they are "international" with no loyalty to any nation, only to their selfish selves. The ultimate model of a sociopath. International corporations. End FREE TRADE. Institute FAIR TRADE. Refuse the importation of products made with virtual slave labor, ala China. Back in the late sixties, a Bank of America was occasionally fire bombed. No one was hurt. Property was damaged and the image of a charred band made some wonderful posters for anti war efforts. It got a message out and maybe we need it again. Fire Bomb A Bank For Freedom. Make a statement. Moi A copy of this upload is on file at the NSA. Of course they will only find me if they do a data search, maybe fire bomb and bank. Or do they have "readers"
Many of these points are correct. But they fail to note that it was Republican Nelson Aldrich who manipulated and created these situations. It was he who pushed through the Federal Reserve Act, Income Tax Amendment, and who knew that such things would be used to enrich the wealthy and entrench the plutocracy.
Woodrow Wilson is one of the biggest corporate whores in American history. His rhetoric was pure fluff meant to trick the gullible masses into supporting his corporatist agenda.
Easily one of the worst U.S. Presidents of all time, a criminal who confessed to the crime. Does that make a criminal a saint? No, it means we can acknowledge him as guilty without any doubt. Tar feathers I say! Oh crap, he's dead lol.
YES ! The absolute sociopath. No conscience. No remorse for wrong doing. Selfishly loyal only to themselves. GOOD CALL ! Moi
These 2 laws guarantee we will never get out of slavery. And make no mistake---we are in slavery. The powers that be are just nice enough not to make us wear chains.
Wilson was a socialist sympathizer. He is the reason you have an income tax, the era of big government etc... He also liked the clam and crony capitalism which isn't capitalism at all but another form of lefterism in the path towards socialism. - - - Updated - - - Slave to government you mean? Surely they make more off of any company then its owner when you count all the payroll taxes, import duties, compliance costs etc...
you've been fooled, the federal reserve act put an end to the 'money trust' and made credit markets more democratic which made credit available to people other than those robber barons and their henchmen people like rural farmers, local businessmen, small bankers outside of megalopolis et al https://www.bostonfed.org/about/pubs/begin.pdf this was the 'money trust' : The Pujo Committee Report concluded in 1913 that a community of influential financial leaders had gained control of major manufacturing, transportation, mining, telecommunications and financial markets of the United States. The report revealed that no less than eighteen different major financial corporations were under control of a cartel led by J.P Morgan, George F Baker and James Stillman. These three men, through the resources of seven banks and trust companies (Banker’s Trust Co., Guaranty Trust Co., Astor Trust Co., National Bank of Commerce, Liberty National Bank, Chase National Bank, Farmer’s Loan and Trust Co.) controlled an estimated $2.1 billion. The report revealed that a handful of men held manipulative control of the New York Stock Exchange and attempted to evade interstate trade laws. The Pujo Report singled out individual bankers including Paul Warburg, Jacob H. Schiff, Felix M. Warburg, Frank E. Peabody, William Rockefeller and Benjamin Strong, Jr.. The report identified over $22 billion in resources and capitalization controlled through 341 directorships held in 112 corporations by members of the empire headed by J.P. Morgan. The findings of this committee inspired public support for ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913, passage of the Federal Reserve Act that same year and passage of the Clayton Antitrust Act in 1914. wilson signed the clayton anti-trust legislation into law it sought to prevent anticompetitive practices and punish corporate corruption The Clayton Act made both substantive and procedural modifications to federal antitrust law. Substantively, the act seeks to capture anticompetitive practices in their incipiency by prohibiting particular types of conduct, not deemed in the best interest of a competitive market. There are 4 sections of the bill that proposed substantive changes in the antitrust laws by way of supplementing the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. In those sections, the Act thoroughly discusses the following four principles of economic trade and business: 1 - price discrimination between different purchasers if such a discrimination substantially lessens competition or tends to create a monopoly in any line of commerce (Act Section 2, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 13; 2 - sales on the condition that (A) the buyer or lessee not deal with the competitors of the seller or lessor ("exclusive dealings") or (B) the buyer also purchase another different product ("tying") but only when these acts substantially lessen competition (Act Section 3, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 14); 3 - mergers and acquisitions where the effect may substantially lessen competition [Act Section 7, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 18] or where the voting securities and assets threshold is met (Act Section 7a, codified at 15 U.S.C. § 18a); 4 - any person from being a director of two or more competing corporations, if those corporations would violate the anti-trust criteria by merging (Act Section 8; codified 1200 at 15 U.S.C. § 19). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clayton_Antitrust_Act
Other than the progressive leanings of Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson could probably be described as the founder of "progressive liberalism" in America. It is in a nutshell, the ideology of expanding the power of government over the power of anything else that might stand in its way. Its ways are always sugar-coated to make it sound as though it is in everyone's best interests, and invariably involves creating some kind of an evil strawman to justify its methods. Foreign interventionism is a hallmark of progressive liberalism. Progressive liberalism also attempts to control and regulate capitalism (or anything else for that matter) for the good of the state, not the people. In that regards, progressive liberalism is as much fascist and dictatorial as it is socialist. It is as bad or worse than any of the "isms"; a wolf dressed up in sheep's clothing (or pantsuits). Wilson, FDR, Truman, LBJ, and most all Democrats thereafter subscribe to some degree of progressive liberalism. Today, I see Hillary as the leading progressive liberal in the US; so it's not surprising that she would be the front running presidential candidate for the Democratic Party.
without a government that makes anticompetitive practices illegal and punishes corporate corruption we'd be under the control of robber barons that want to be feudal lords and rule over their serfdom
As opposed to the fascists, dictators, and socialists that want to rule over their nation? Your picture is as relevant to unbridled socialism and fascism, as it is of unbridled industrialism. The balance is found in the government that serves its people, not its own power. Be aware of this one thing: capitalism is always a choice, progressive liberalism is always a mandate.
considering the fact wilson,FDR,truman,and LBJ were all traiterous scumbag bastards to the american people and HELLARY is made of their clothing,god help us all when the establishment puts her in office.
government serving their people hasnt happened since 1913 when we became a facist dictatership controlled by the bankers.that picture is what is going on today because in american with many americans out of jobs because every president beginning since 1981 has served the bankers instead of the people and that wont change with the election of HELLERY why they seem to have pegged as their choice of new president.
you might want to review the definition of fact try reading a history book, the federal reserve act put an end to the 'money trust' https://www.bostonfed.org/about/pubs/begin.pdf
so very true but he he was telling the truth when he said our government is controlled by corporations.He didnt keep that one a secret at lease even though he was an evil man.lol
wilson signed the federal reserve act into law and put an end to the robber barons' control of the credit industry
