Re: "I am a most unhappy man." Misattributed "It is like writing history with lightning. And my only regret is that it is all so terribly true." Remarks on The Birth of a Nation attributed to Wilson by writer Thomas Dixon, after White House screening of the film, which was based on Dixon's The Clansman. Wilson later said that he disapproved of the "unfortunate film." Wilson aide Joseph Tumulty, in a letter to the Boston branch of the NAACP in response to reports of Wilson's regard for the film wrote: The President was entirely unaware of the nature of the play before it was presented and at no time has expressed his approbation of it. "I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.… We have come to be one of the worst ruled … Governments in the civilized world.…" Attributed in America : Freedom to Fascism (2006) by Aaron Russo and elsewhere as an expression of regret for creating the Federal Reserve. The quotation is fabricated from out-of-context remarks Wilson made on separate occasions and two leading sentences that have no clear source. "I have ruined my country." No known source from Wilson, but possibly a misattribution of remarks by Sidney Sonnino at the Paris Peace Conference (1919), criticizing Wilson's treaty framework as unfair to Italy. See Margaret Macmillan (2002), Paris 1919. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.… "Monopoly, Or Opportunity?" (1912), criticizing the credit situation before the Federal Reserve was created, also in The New Freedom (1913), p. 185 We have come to be one of the worst ruled… Governments…. "Benevolence, Or Justice?" (1912), also in The New Freedom (1913), p. 201 The quotation has been analyzed in Andrew Leonard (2007-12-21), "The Unhappiness of Woodrow Wilson" Salon: I can tell you categorically that this is not a statement of regret for having created the Federal Reserve. Wilson never had any regrets for having done that. It was an accomplishment in which he took great pride. John M. Cooper, professor of history and author of several books on Wilson, as quoted by Andrew Leonard en.wikiquote.org

Amazing how people go only back only to Crash of 29 and the Depression. The real start is about 1820. Then the British wanted a piece of the Western Hemisphere action. Pushing Spain out of LATAM was good for British business, thus Monroe Doctrine was good. One century hence, (Evil Wilson time) the US was already ahead of the pack. A truly modern state. All competition was dying out. Then all the old empires crumbled. Four at the same time: Otoman, British, Romanoff and Habsburgs. The US inherited the single power by default.

As the US became the single economic power Jews money men piled up in New York. Wilson obliged. Wilson named Paul Warburg and other prominent bankers to direct the new system. While power was supposed to be decentralized, the New York branch dominated the Fed as the "first among equals". The Warburg family is a financial dynasty of German Jewish origin. They brought from Europe the tradition of financing wars to make money. The new system began operations in 1915 and played a major role in financing the Allied and American war effort. Thus the military-industrial complex that survives to this day.
