Know Your Enemy

"The real menace of our republic is this invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy length 
over city, state and nation. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self created screen....At the 
head of this octopus are the Rockefeller Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses 
generally referred to as international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run 
the United States government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both political parties." 
NEW YORK CITY MAYOR JOHN F. HYLAN, 1922
