Andrew Jackson, Who Fought Central Bank, Removed from $20 As Public Concern for Liberty ErasedBy Mac Slavo The latest battle is for the face of the currency itself, and the central bankers, who control the front anyway, have imposed a symbolic defeat against the leaders in Americas past who have fought against the stranglehold of the money makers. Naturally, there are liberal politics at play, fighting for every inch of ground in the war for ideological re-engineering. History is being whitewashed, various figures of antiquity rolling in their graves. At stake is a dispute for the powers of government even better than the more famous duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, of whom we also speak. The iconic $20 bill, with the face of President Andrew Jackson, and the $10 bill, with the face of the nations first Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton, have long pitted two ideological extremes against each other as they pass along as some of the most used denominations in circulation. But now, the money powers at the Treasury Department have decided that it is time to add a womans face to the money supply as well. As such, the powers-that-bank have decided to oust Andrew Jackson from the line up, and with it, part of his legacy. It will be removed in favor of a female representing the struggle for racial equality, according to CNN, while an early proposal to remove Alexander Hamiltons bill will be scrapped, though the proposal includes a redesign on the backs of his and several other notes with scenes from the Womans Suffrage Movement, Susan B. and all the gals. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is expected to announce this week that Alexander Hamiltons face will remain on the front of the $10 bill and a woman will replace Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill, a senior government source told CNN on Saturday. Dramatically, it seems that there was a backlash to counter the coup against Hamilton, including support from former Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke: The decision to make the historic change at the expense of Hamilton drew angry rebukes from fans of the former Treasury Secretary. The pro-Hamilton movement gained steam after the smash success of the hip-hop Broadway musical about his life this year. Those pressures led Lew to determine that Hamilton should remain on the front of the bill. And theres a reason for Bernankes bias towards Hamilton. Heres the scoop from the Economic Policy Journal, who called it a despicable decision: It was Hamilton, who from the early days of the nation clamored for a central bank and a strong interventionist federal government. I have quoted Thomas DiLorenzo onthe evil Hamilton before: Hamilton was a compulsive statist who wanted to bring the corrupt British mercantilist system the very system the American Revolution was fought to escape from to America. He fought fiercely for his program of corporate welfare, protectionist tariffs, public debt, pervasive taxation, and a central bank run by politicians and their appointees out of the nations capital. Hamilton complained to George Washington that we need a government of more energy and expressed disgust over an excessive concern for liberty in public men The Philadelphie Federal Reserve publication. A History of Central Banking in America, reports: Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treasury, urged Congress to also assume the war debts of the individual states and then create a national bank to help refinance all these debts. Hamiltons proposal faced major opposition. Critics said that Hamiltons bank was unconstitutional, would be a monopoly, and would reduce the power of the states. Although Hamilton won, the banks charter was limited to 20 years. And thats right where Andrew Jacksons legacy with the banks picks up. You are a den of vipers and thieves. I intend to rout you out, and by the eternal God, I will rout you out. (Andrew Jackson, to a delegation of bankers discussing the recharter of the Second Bank of the United States, 1832) President Jackson likened their agents to the hydra-beast, with its many heads, and even survived an assassination attempt, by staving off an attacker personally. The bankers, and the powerful families including the Rothschilds who supported it, wanted a national bank because they could load the board with their guys and outweigh the will of the people and the normal channels of government. Of course, the same exact state of affairs has been going on today for more than a century with the Federal Reserve, which is run by the successors to the same exact banking interests, including the still immensely-powerful Rothschild family. The struggle is depicted well in The Money Masters, which spans several centuries of history with the threat of banking powers over individual sovereignty in stark contrast. To be sure, there is an important and nefarious plot afoot to ensnare you, your family and everyone on the block with debt. There is a line, and you should figure out what side of it youre going to be on. Jackson narrowly succeeded in staving off banker domination of the U.S. during his day. Of course, Andrew Jackson, who was the United States seventh president, was also a complete controversy his entire lifetime. It is no surprise that the same people who took down the Confederate flag from the South on the back of a mass shooting tragedy are now trying to tear down the image of a particularly controversial and intriguing figure from the American past. Jackson was a recalcitrant and unyielding general and war hero, and later an outsider riding a wave of populist support into the White House, bringing in sometimes unscrupulous companions, and plenty of Masons. Many of his backers were diametrically opposed to the entrenched power of New York bankers and speculators, as well as patrician politicians who dominated the first phase of politics in the nations history. Jackson played a nasty role in the Trail of Tears affairs with Indians, too, and with the South and Western expansion of slave-friendly territories. Many shades of grey. Meanwhile, behind the scenes in the founding days of this country, Alexander Hamilton, an advocate of strong central government, and maneuvered on behalf of his banker masters to collectivize the war debt from the states and create a central bank to control the financial strength of the country, and ingrain the early United States with the mindset of the British masters they had just fought to shake off. After the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913, and the crisis and consolidation of wealth during the Great Depression, and ever since the 2008 economic collapse, the rule by bankers has become a foregone conclusion, though there will be more chances to shake off their yoke of control. (BitCoin is one possible avenue; Congressionally-controlled greenbacks another; gold and silver yet another) Erasing Andrew Jackson from the faces of the fiat funny-money that is passed around by an increasingly ignorant and dependent society (which itself has adopted digital currency as the new norm) will further cut off the past from the masses, and ensure their enslavement.

For all I care, they could put the Tooth Fairy on any of their worthless pieces of paper. Whosoever is susceptible to fear of any type, will attract to himself the fear that belongs to his type fear of acci- dent, for example, or of sickness, or death, and he may also become submerged in the fear current of the thought ocean. On the contrary, whoever formulates and holds happy thoughts, will ally himself with the thought currents of happiness or courage or knowledge, according to the quality of his thoughts. Hippies have been saying this for years. Happy happy joy joy Thank you. LOL thx! In the continued practice of correct thinking and right living there will come to the student an increasing readiness to adjust the thoughts, words and actions from the spiritual point of view. With this practice will come an increase of knowledge, the knowledge of how definitely to adjust ones self to every relation in the natural and material life. The knowledge of how to obtain the influx of life, light and power from above will also come with this. Hmmm This change is a massive middle finger directed straight at the American people by the Rothschild family. The solution is simple it truly boggles the mind. Congress has merely to vote to rescind the Federal Reserve Charter, repudiate any and all debts and obligations created by or through the Federal Reserve, destroy all Federal Reserve notes and return the power to coin money back to its Constitutionally mandated position at the US Treasury. Oh and least we forget: arrest every officer and stock holder of the Federal Reserve system on charges of economic terrorism. Confiscate all assets and holdings of every member bank and its stock holders. And then after finding them guilty, commensurate with their unprecedented crimes against humanity, execute the lot. That would put us back to early 1800s, but still leave the door open for banks to screw with us, as they did mid to late 1800s by artificially constricting the money supply and causing multiple unfounded and manufactured panics throughout the last half of the 19th Century, which lead to the formation of the Fed Res. We need to end banking as we know it, even at the local level. All money loans should be made by individuals that give specific permission for their money to be loaned for each and every loan issued. Bitcoin and Blockchain ledgers are one very good answer, not only for a monetary system, but for all sorts of endeavors that are currently centralized. It radically increases the power of the individual precisely because it creates a situation of no central control. When theyre right, their right. It is evident that we are being pushed into slavery by the Money Mongers and corrupt Career Politicians setting in a country of Rulers rather than True Moral Leadership. What about the infamous Trail of Tears, when President Andrew illegally forced the Cherokee Native Americans off their ancestral lands to what is now Oklahoma? Andrew Jackson should not even be one of our national heroes, let alone be on our 20 dollar bill in the first place! F#cking Commies ! I agree! The 5000 commies in the US are to blame for slavery, exploitation, corruption, wars, and rude teenagers! With so many articles like this one it is amazing how most of the American people remain so ignorant to the corporate and banking sell out of the united States. The Truth is right in front of everyone but most choose to ignore or deny it. What a strange thing. Actually, Ive condensed an answer for the above into, basically, four words; Lets compare: Jackson may have owned as many as 300 slaves and killed thousands of of native Americans after invading their territory. In addition to the slaughters, Jackson burned their houses and the crops. . The Hermitage plantation was a profit-making enterprise and Jackson, who demanded slave loyalty, permitted slaves to be whipped to increase productivity.Jacksons presidency marked a new era in Indian-Anglo American relations initiating a policy of Indian removal. . Extermination and/or ethnic cleansing. Jackson opposed a national bank, thus setting the stage for private banking cartels (such as the Hamilton was the opposite, grew up poor and laboring, and tho he inherited one slave, did not take possession. He was an avid abolitionist (very rare among the Founding Fathers, who were 95% slave owners) and detested slavery. alexanderhamiltonexhibition.org reports: Alexander and James lived more tables, were two slave boys, Christian and Ajax. In her will, Rachel Hamilton supported a national bank. Today, we have a central bank but it is private, profit-driven, and unaccountable. That is the legacy of Jackson, wealthy slave owner and guilty of mass murder of native Americans. Oh ! We are such a nation of beasts and can do no right ? You dont think whipping slaves and killing Indian children is evil? Hamilton proves there were good people: he owned no slaves, he was an abolitionist. The Constitution did not give dignity to the ordinary individual. It did not include a right to vote and in the first elections, only 1% (rich white males) were allowed to vote or hold office, almost all slave owners. Nothing is more corrupt than a private banking cartel which controls the US economy, the legacy of Jackson, as opposed to Hamilton, who promoted a Federally controlled system. We cannot move forward until we honestly confront the past,for the past is prologue. A person or nation in denial cannot move forward until they face the truth. I am asking you to confront the truth, and then we can understand what to avoid and what to embrace. Those who deny the past (ie do not learn from history) are condemned to repeat it. I think whipping anyone undeserving or killing any child is evil whether its Indians or otherwise. These actions do put on grand display the fallen nature of man in general. This is complete nonsense. The sins of racism and exploitation go back to Columbus and the founding of the nation. Until we face up to our true history, we will never learn and keep repeating the same sins, expressed in institutional racism, criminal wars, and destruction of the environment. You truly make no sense at all, other than the impression you dont want anyone exposing the truth of our history. Pardon me Mr. Ruff . I confused you with someone who understood that mans sins of racism and exploitation began well before Columbus? My comments were in the context of Western settlement in the New World. In fact, the transAtlantic slave trade started with Columbus and the genocide of the native Americans, also started with Columbus. This by no means denies injustice prior to that time, but my point was to indicate that the twin evils of slavery and genocide in the New World did indeed begin with Columbus. Surely, to go forward, we do not need to go back 10,000 yrs but most certainly, we must face the truth about the the creation of America through the evils initiated by Columbus and those who followed him. Surely, you realized this but unable to find a rational response, you chose to accuse me of an omission of all of human history. Racism is actually quote modern. It developed out of racial theory in early modernity used to justify slavery. Exploitation goes back to the first agricultural settlements, tho it did not exist in 99% of human history when communities lived by egalitarian principles. For the US to go forward, therefore, we have to face the realities of OUR history and deal with them, and that starts with the first encounter of Columbus and the gentle Arawak. So I repeat, to deal with racism and exploitation in current America, we must go back to our beginniing when Columbus initiated both slavery and genocide in the name of claiming America for Spain. It is good to study all of human history, which I am doing, but it is essential today that we understand and admit the evils such as Jacksons killing of native American children, the fact that the Founding Fatherss were 95% slave owners, and that America has been ruled by the 1% since the Constitution was ratified. If we understand our own history, from its beginning, we can begin to address the unresolved problems and move forward with solutions. In no way does this involving dismissing all of human history, but to remedy OUR problems, we have to start, at least, with our beginning. I am currently on page 400 of The Peoples History of the World, which starts 100,000 years ago, a fascinating book. Have you read it? A basic of dealing with American history is to read the Diary of Columbus,a chronicle of our original sins necessary to comprehend to understand our evolution. Have your read the Diary. Another great book is Zinns A Peoples HIstory of the United States. I assume you are famliliar with that classic. Well Dale , I do hope we survive the Karma ? Well carry this on another time perhaps where one doesnt feel they have to be on the offensive ? I am always on the offensive to challenge lies and distortions, arent you. Here is what Tom Paine said: It is the duty of every man, so far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error. It is our duty to expose lies and errors. My karma is very intact as I extend unlimited compassion to all living beings, including animals. Institutional racism? Against white folks now, you mean. No, Mike, the lie of racism against whites is itself a part of the racist narrative. Here are the hard facts: In dollars, that meant the median white household was worth $141,900, while the median black household was worth just $11,000. 2.Black men were more than six times as likely as white men to be incarcerated in federal and state prisons, and local jails in 2010, the last year complete data are available, according to a Pew Research Center analysis. That is an increase from 1960, when black men were five times as likely as whites to be incarcerated. Here is just one example of how the criminal justice system used a double standard to discriminate against blacks: .someone convicted of possessing one gram of crack would receive a sentence 100 times longer than someone possessing one gram of powder cocaine. What is the chemical difference between crack cocaine and powder cocaine that justified this disparity? Answer: There is no significant chemical differencecrack and powder cocaine are both forms of cocaine. The stark difference in federal sentencing laws for possession of the two forms of the same drug has more to do with media mythology and political pressure than with public safety and health. a scholarly analysis is in The New Jim Crow: The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness is a book by Michelle Alexander, a civil rights litigator and legal scholar. The book discusses race-related issues specific to African-American males and mass incarceration in the United States though Alexander notes that the discrimination faced by African-American males is also prevalent among other minorities and socio-economically disadvantaged populations. Alexanders central premise, from which the book derives its title, is that mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow. Wiki In both housing and car loans, blacks have been forced into more expensive loans with the same qualificatons as blacks: Fed: Minorities pay more for housing loans By Sue Kirchhoff, USA TODAY WASHINGTON Minorities are far more likely than whites to take out higher-priced loans to buy or refinance a home and are denied loans more often. The differences can be explained largely but not fully by such factors as income, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. In an examination of 2004 mortgage data, Fed economists found that the average incidence of higher-priced home-purchase loans was 32.4% among African-Americans, 20.3% among Hispanic whites and 8.7% for non-Hispanic whites. 3.Higher income does not protect blacks and Hispanics from receiving mortgage loans with above-market rates, a new study by a group pushing for reforms to lending laws says. The report, released earlier this month by the Washington-based National Community Reinvestment Coalition (NCRC), concludes that in 2005, blacks in 171 metropolitan areas were at least twice as likely as whites to receive expensive loans. The study was based on an analysis of nationwide mortgage data collected by the Federal Reserve for the most recent year available. The report, which analyzed 2.3 million high-cost loans in 380 metro areas, also concluded that while the disparity among blacks and whites existed at all income levels, it was more severe at higher income levels than lower ones. 4.A statistical study of more than 300,000 car loans arranged through Nissan dealers from March 1993 to last Septemberbelieved by experts to be the largest pool of car loan data ever analyzed for racial patternsshows that black customers in 33 states consistently paid more than white customers, regardless of their credit histories.. chicagotribune So in income, wealth, employment, education, life expectancy, home ownership,incarceration for the same crimes, loan coststhere is evidence of institutional racism against blacks. The lie of institutional l racism against whites is based not on evidence but the psychological need to find a scapegoat for those whites who are suffering declines in standards of living and status. Since 1989, median wages are down nationally by 40%, household income is down 8% since 1999, and poorer white have recently been dying younger. This is a result of an economy dominated by programs which enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor, both black and white (and Latino). Rather than face the reality that it is a case of class warfare, the right wing media promotes the false consciousness that is contained in the myth of discrimination against whites, most often blamed on the most obviouis victims of class and race warfare and liberals. White folks continue to have all the advantages, keeping in mind that the wealthy whites are getting richer and the poorer blacks AND whites are losing ground. This strategy to mask class warfare with racial antagonism was best expressed by robber baron Jay Gould, who said: I can hire one half of the working class to kill the other half. In fact, poor blacks and whites have no real conflicts but only by joining together can they confront and defeat those who exploit them and offer them each other as scapegoats When the nation of Liberia was created, the freed American blacks went there and subjugated the native blacks as second class citizens. Liberia, a nation given all the advantages of America became a crap-hole. Why do blacks require whites in order to be prosperous? Poor whites who join with poor blacks face the same result as in Liberia. Perhaps the disparity is not racism but a defective American black culture. killed thousands of of native Americans after invading their territory. And youre cool with this? Jacksons oppostion to a National central bank paved the way for the Federal Reserve, a profit-driven private banking cartel which serves as the central bank with no accountability to the public. The Federal Reserve Systemalso known as the Federal Reserve or simply as the Fedis the central banking system of the United States..In its role as the central bank of the United States, the Fed serves as a bankers bank and as the governments bank. As the bankers bank, it helps to assure the safety and efficiency of the payments system. As the governments bank, or fiscal agent, the Fed processes a variety of financial transactions involving trillions of dollars. Just as an individual might keep an account at a bank, the U.S. Treasury keeps a checking account with the Federal Reserve, through which incoming federal tax deposits and outgoing government payments are handled. As part of this service relationship, the Fed sells and redeems U.S. government securities such as savings bonds and Treasury bills, notes and bonds. It also issues the nations coin and paper currency. The Federal Reserve website states: . It is considered an independent central bank because its monetary policy decisions do not have to be approved by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branches of government, factcheck.org reports: There are actually 12 different Federal Reserve Banks around the country, and they are owned by big private banks You have to look hard and long to find who these big private banks are. Its monopoly powers have long been recognized: Some people think that the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government institutions. They are private monopolies which prey upon the people of these United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders. The Honorable Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1930s With the 2008 banking crisis, the powers of the private banking cartel expanded: In an unprecedented move in March 2008, the New York Fed advanced the funds for JPMorgan Chase Bank to buy investment bank Bear Stearns for pennies on the dollar. The deal was particularly controversial because Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, sits on the board of the New York Fed and participated in the secret weekend negotiations.1 In September 2008, the Federal Reserve did something even more unprecedented, when it bought the worlds largest insurance company. The Fed announced on September 16 that it was giving an $85 billion loan to American International Group (AIG) for a nearly 80% stake in the mega-insurer. This was not a government take over or nationalization but operations by private banks for their own enrichment. global research explains: Its shareholders are private banks. In fact, 100% of its shareholders are private banks. None of its stock is owned by the government. 2. The fact that the Fed does not get appropriations from Congress basically means that it gets its money from Congress without congressional approval, by engaging in open market operations. Here is how it works: When the government is short of funds, the Treasury issues bonds and delivers them to bond dealers, which auction them off. When the Fed wants to expand the money supply (create money), it steps in and buys bonds from these dealers with newly-issued dollars acquired by the Fed for the cost of writing them into an account on a computer screen. These maneuvers are called open market operations because the Fed buys the bonds on the open market from the bond dealers. The bonds then become the reserves that the banking establishment uses to back its loans. In another bit of sleight of hand known as fractional reserve lending, the same reserves are lent many times over, further expanding the money supply, generating interest for the banks with each loan. It was this money-creating process that prompted Wright Patman, Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee in the 1960s, to call the Federal Reserve a total money-making machine. He wrote: When the Federal Reserve writes a check for a government bond it does exactly what any bank does, it creates money, it created money purely and simply by writing a check. 3. The Fed generates profits for its shareholders. The interest on bonds acquired with its newly-issued Federal Reserve Notes pays the Feds operating expenses plus a guaranteed 6% return to its banker shareholders. A mere 6% a year may not be considered a profit in the world of Wall Street high finance, but most businesses that manage to cover all their expenses and give their shareholders a guaranteed 6% return are considered for profit corporations. This is the result of having a private banking cartel of the largest banks control the US policy instead of the US government itself. This is the legacy of Jackson. Id much rather have Hamilton replaced. Jackson seems to have been a good guy, but Hamilton was on the wrong side. More on Jackson: When he invaded Florida in 1818He ordered his men to destroy crops, take women and children hostage, and deploy savage dogs. He claimed self-defense and the purest patriotism, and at the end boasted to his wife, the enemy is scattered over the whole face of the Earth, and at least one half must starve and die with disease. See more at: http://historynewsnetwork.org/article/144311#sthash.k73LHPov.d alternet rated him the most evil and worst President ever: At his command, his troops killed not only vast numbers of male Native Americans, but also women and children. Millions of acres of land was stolen from the tribes during his campaigns. In 1818 Jackson and his men invaded Spanish Florida and incited the First Seminole War, killing Seminoles and capturing escaped slaves who lived among them. As he illegally swept through Florida, he, violated nearly every standard of justice, wrote historian Bertram Wyatt-Brown. Long before ethnic cleansing became a term to describe the terrible war crime, Jackson perfected the practice. Supporting and signing, as President, the Indian Removal Act in 1830, over 46,000 Native Americans were forcibly removed from their homes and lands east of the Mississippi River and marched to reservations in the western territories. In one such forced march, which occurred after Jackson left office, 4000 Cherokees died during the infamous Trail of Tears. Millions of acres of Indian land was seized and handed over to the white slave aristocracy. Old Hickory carried his actions against Native Americans out despite the fact that the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional. John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it! cried Jackson. Good riddance to this genocidal monster! HIs war against a national central bank led the way to a central bank controlled by private banks, who now control, for their own interests, the US economy. Just Awful, Ive read about that and know what White Man did to the Indians. They are going to do it to White Man now. We are the Indians now. I think you missed the point of his post. Thank you Dale, for this disturbing but educational information. I was full of indignation regarding the removal of Jackson, right up until I read your submission above. Quite the eye-opener. I had no idea. So he wasnt perfect Nor was Hitler. They will probably have some transgender man in a dress on the new currency at least it will seem like a woman. Why Harriet Tubman of all people to replace Jackson? Is this the elitist J*ws that run the Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank idea of joke? As we all become more enslaved to a pernicious debt based monetary and fractional reserve banking system (which Andrew Jackson fought against), we get slavery abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Not funny! ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE BANK and do away with the debt based (slave) money system and fractional reserve banking. Restore sanity. Apparently the J word is verboten here. I wont bother coming back if you all are that ridiculously sensitive. Thanks for this article, Mac. Important stuff; important discussion. Putting Jacksons image on the Federal Reserve Debt-Slavery Note in the first place was a big middle finger to anyone who challenged the central banks. Today, they are less genteel and just hang you, put a bullet through your head, or shove a knife up your rear while dragging you through the street. Putting Harriet Tubman on a debt-slave note is just another inside joke by the globalists. Good riddance to a slave holding, genocidal murderer!! Its offensive that Jackson is still on the bill, smh The North American Union that Cruzs wife helped create will create a new money something like the Amero. They are setting the stage by making our money ugly, so we wont mind changing it for something new. Ol Hickory killed the banks and drove the vipers out. RIP
