Why, yes it is. It's utterly preposterous to blame WWI on the U.S. Federal Reserve System and/or the 16th Amendment.

Agreed--it's much more Woody Wilson's fault. His handling of the Lusitania incident was only the tip of the iceberg.

In case you'd missed it, the Lusitania was sunk in 1915, after WWI had been raging for nearly a year. The start of the war was not Wilson's fault. One does wonder how you would respond to the unrestricted submarine warfare being practiced by the Germans....

I did not say it was to blame - trade wars and protectionism played the largest part.

Do you know who the Fed's proponents were, and how long they spent building a coalition to get it?? Way before Wilson. Don't impute meanings that are not there.

Like FDR, Woodrow was a bought pol, on the strings of the Rockefeller/Morgan cabal just as were their opponents. The Rockefeller created CFR has it's members in both parties, industry and media - they win no matter who gets elected - and even in RWR's case, his cabinet was full of them too, as is W's. It is also no secret that JFK was rocking the CFR boat.

Just as JF'nKerry is CFR, so is W.
