Hylan's most famous words against "the interests" was the following speech, made in 1922, while he was the sitting Mayor of New York City:

"...The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length over City, State, and nation... It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles our executive officers, our legislative bodies, our schools, our courts, our newspapers, and every agency created for the public protection..."

"To depart from mere generalisations, let me say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller-Standard Oil interest and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States government for their own selfish purposes."

"They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make catspaws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organisations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as will be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business..."

"These international bankers and Rockefeller-Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government...."

This "invisible government", Hylan and others argued, exercised its control of the US Government through the Federal Reserve.

I think Mr. Hylan was right on target, and their stranglehold has been tightening up ever since. It is one big Ponzi scheme, and there are only a handful of them ,all total, And the federal reserve( not federal at all) and the International bankers, are smack dab in the middle of it. They create depressions at will, gather up the money and ship it out of the country and there you have instant depression, they start businesses in other countries and cause this one to starve. That is why our money system needs to be controlled here like our Constitution calls for, and get rid of the federal reserve, Which is controlled by people outside our country. I wonder if London and the Queen , and Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland,etc. would know anything about that.(smiles) Hey, She in not the Queen just because, just for the fun of it, I suspect she may be the richest person on this Planet. Why do you suppose she Knights ,Sir George Bush, Sir Colin Powell, and others? Hey, this thing is bigger than you thought!! And according to our 13 th Amendment to the Constitution, These kind of people are not allowed to hold public office in this country anywhere, that includes all lawyers(esquires),unconstitutional for them to hold public office, and I suppose that would even include the office of dog catcher in your County. What do you think of them apples? I think it is criminal and it is time to call these people (Traitors) to account. Hey, there is only a hand full of them, not as many as you think. They wear grey suits and pretend to be your friends. What are we afraid of, they need to be called to account ,NOW!!! HEY,we are all in this together, WE live in AMERICA ( LAND OF HEAVEN) The federal reserve is the BIGGEST FRAUD against mankind in the history of this PLANET!!! Time to get GOLD backed MONEY!! THERE is backing available NOW!! First the Congress, and the White House needs to be resigned , and put on trial, and the guilty ones put in jail for a long, long time, and restore our Constitution, and get our WE THE PEOPLE government back, which has been overthrown, probably several times.(once when Kennedy was murdered, that very day)I am convinced the accomplices are ,some of them ,still in power. Like I said there is only a hand full of them. I wonder how many of them are willing to stick up for each other , so that they can be accomplices, too, when the truth comes out,(murder) and it will come out!! Hey, I love you all!!
