I've been through Creature a few times but I can hardly remember a reference to the SEC. Of course if you are trying to make the point that it was a systematic move to control all mechanisms around banking, and by extension the SEC would be toothless from the start, then you need to say it and back it up instead of just telling someone to read a pretty obtuse volume. It's a good read about the fed and the international banking cabal in general but I don't think it's specific enough for talk of the SEC.

That said, I find it very interesting that JFK's father Joseph P. Kennedy was the first one in charge of "cleaning up wallstreet" via the SEC, but all the indicators show it was much more about going after the mid-level and low-hanging fruit on wallstreet in order to assuage the publics view of the markets (remember the 29 crash was in recent memory as SEC was formed in 34).

Please, us conspiracy theorists have a hard enough time on the internet, if you are on HN please take the time to put in some effort (one of the things that makes HN consistently better for discussion than other forums), otherwise you are just making it harder on us to reach others.
