[13] Vanderlip wrote in his 1935 autobiography From Farmboy to Financier :
I was as secretive, indeed I was as furtive as any conspirator. Discovery, we knew, simply must not happen, or else all our time and effort would have been wasted. If it were to be exposed that our particular group had got together and written a banking bill, that bill would have no chance whatever of passage by Congress…I do not feel it is any exaggeration to speak of our secret expedition to Jekyll Island as the occasion of the actual conception of what eventually became the Federal Reserve System.”

[15]《一个经济杀手的自白》,约翰&S226;珀金斯著,杨文策译,广东经济出版社2006年12月第1版。
内容提要:这是一本约翰•珀金斯花了二十多年写成的自白书;这是一本约翰•珀金斯遭到生命威胁和贿赂利诱下仍旧坚持完成的自白书;这是一本媲美《华氏911》电影,并让美国政界、商界、金融界震惊的自白书;
这是一本让美国主流媒体刻意回避和保持沉默但仍旧可以达到空前畅销的自白书。
约翰•珀金斯在书中揭露,经济杀手披着经济学家、银行家、国际金融顾问之类的合法外衣,其实却肩负着建立美国全球霸权的战略任务。
他们通过伪造财政报告、操纵选举、贿赂、敲诈、色诱乃至谋杀等手段,拉拢、腐蚀和控制他国的政治与经济精英,向他们蓄意提出错误的宏观经济分析和产业投资建议,诱骗发展中国家落入预设的经济陷阱,从而控制这些国家的经济命脉和自然资源,并通过欺骗手段让成千亿的美金源源不断地流入美国,为巩固、扩大美国在全球的经济、政治和军事霸权服务。
珀金斯在书中披露了自己作为经济杀手期间所见证的一切,并且揭开了最近几起国际重大事件背后的秘密。例如沙特阿拉伯洗钱风波、伊朗国王的垮台、厄瓜多尔和巴拿马总统之死以及美国入侵巴拿马和伊拉克。
