The quote is 100 years old. I think it is fair to assume that the system has been perfected and become more sophisticated. And if one looks at the legal framework the system has built since then, the crazy taxes, the mindnumbing laws, the militarized police and the (now) legal brainwash and propaganda and STILL the majority is oblivious, there is little hope for change to the better any time soon. And who are the "patriots"? Some military and secret service guys who are trained to kill, assault and deceive people? When was the last time an American soldier DEFENDED the United States? They did nothing else but assault, harass, invade, bomb and kill people in foreign lands . They NEVER served the American public but where tools for the parasitic cabal to pursue their interests for compensation. And these are the "White Hats"? Great.
