Why do you think they have to disguise everything they do?
Well, if you're talking about the "financial crisis" of 2008, you're talking about a massive fraud. Fraud always involves deception. What was telling was the response of both political parties to that disaster - they gave the scamsters more money! Do you remember how they actually "forced" the poor banks to take more of our money? That's real power - they created a disaster, received even more money and then explained that we should feel guilty for "forcing" them take more money. Yes, that's power and nothing has changed since then.
