Taft, in order to get Wilson elected, occurred in the 1992 Presidential election. In a 1994<br />

interview, Barbara Bush told ABC-TV news correspondent Barbara Walters, that the third-party<br />

candidacy of independent H. Ross Perot was the reason that Bill Clinton was able to defeat the<br />

re-election bid of President George Bush.<br />

The Illuminati was able to get the support of perennial Democratic Presidential candidate,<br />

William Jennings Bryan, by letting him write the plank of the Party Platform which opposed the<br />

Aldrich Bill. Remember, the second version of the Bill prepared at Jekyll Island was to be an<br />

alternative, so public attention was turned against the Aldrich Bill. Wilson, an aristocrat, having<br />

socialistic views, was in favor of an independent reserve system, because he didn’t trust the<br />

‘common men’ which made up Congress. However, publicly, he promised to “free the poor<br />

people of America from control by the rich,” and to have a money system that wouldn’t be under<br />

the control of Wall Street’s International Bankers. In fact, in the summer of 1912, when he<br />

accepted the nomination as the Democratic candidate for the Presidency, he said: “A<br />

concentration of the control of credit ... may at any time become infinitely dangerous to free<br />

enterprise.” According to the Federal Reserve’s historical narrative, the shift in Wilson’s point of<br />

view was “a combination of political realities and his own lack of knowledge about banking and<br />

finance (and) after his election to the Presidency, Wilson relied on others for more expert advice<br />

on the currency question.”<br />

Because of the voting split in the Republican Party, not only was Woodrow Wilson able to<br />

win the Presidency, but the Democrats gained control of both houses in Congress.<br />

DEMOCRAT (Wilson) 435 electoral votes 6,286,214 popular votes<br />

PROGRESSIVE (Roosevelt) 88 electoral votes 4,126,020 popular votes<br />

REPUBLICAN (Taft) 8 electoral votes 3,483,922 popular votes<br />

Rep. Carter Glass of Virginia, Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee, met with<br />

Wilson after his election, along with H. Parker Willis (who was Dean of Political Science at<br />

George Washington University) of the National Citizens League, to prepare a Bill, known as the<br />

Glass Bill, which began taking form in January, 1913. Now Plan B was set into motion.<br />

Remember, the National Citizens League, headquartered in Chicago, had already announced<br />

their opposition to the Aldrich Bill, now the Wall Street banking interests had come out against<br />

the Glass Bill, which was actually the Aldrich Bill in disguise.<br />

The Wall Street crowd was generally referred to as the ‘money trust.’ However, a 1912 Wall<br />

Street Journal editorial said that the term ‘money trust’ was just a reference to J. P. Morgan. The<br />

suspicion of the ‘money trust’ peaked in 1912, during an investigation by a House banking<br />

subcommittee which revealed that twelve banks in New York, Boston, and Chicago, had 746<br />

interlocking directorships in 134 corporations. Rep. Robert L. Henry of Texas said that for the<br />

past five years, the nation’s financial resources had been “concentrated in the city of New York<br />

(where they) now dominate more than 75 percent of the moneyed interests of America...” On<br />

December 13, 1911, George McC. Reynolds, the President of the Continental and Commercial<br />

Bank of Chicago, said to a group of other bankers: “I believe the money power now lies in the<br />

hands of a dozen men...” The threat from this powerful private banking system was to be ended<br />

with the establishment of a central bank.<br />

To avoid the mention of central banking, Wilson himself suggested that the regional banks be<br />

called ‘Federal Reserve Banks,’ and proposed a special session of the 63rd Congress to be<br />

convened to vote on the Federal Reserve Act. On June 23, 1913, he addressed the Congress on
