William Jennings Bryan (left) was one of the most powerful Democrats inCongress. He opposed the Federal Reserve Act because it would privately issuemoney rather than through the government. He was fooled into supporting the billwhen phony compromises were made which gave the appearance of publiccontrol and government issue but which, in fact, did neither. Bryan was alsorewarded with an appointment as Secretary of State. He became disillusioned bythe duplicity of his own government and resigned after Wilson failed to warn thepublic that the Lusitania was carrying munitions. He complained that it was "likeputting women and children in front of an army."

Alan Greenspan (above), was an eloquent spokesman for the gold standard anda critic of the System's subservience to the banking cartel. That was in 1966.

After he became a director of J.P. Morgan & Company and was appointedi Chairman of the Federal Reserve in 1987, he became silent on these issues anddid nothing to anger the Creature he now served. Like Bryan, even the best ofmen can be corrupted by the rewards of politics.
