The bankers ploy to deceive the masses via the FED

Edward Griffin on the devious ploy by the bankers:
"It was a ploy. It was a brilliant piece of strategy. These people were not stupid... In fact, while the bill was being debated in congress some of these people before the public and gave speeches knowing it would be reported in the press.. and they said 'this bill' (that they had written) 'is not going to be good for business. It's bad for America.' They actually do that ploy. Knowing full well that the average guy would read that in the newspaper and say, 'These big bankers don't like the bill, must be pretty good. '
These fellas were brilliant and that's how they sold it."
In other words, they thrived off the people's ignorance. An awakened people is their greatest fear.
