Bonus nub: Rothschild threatens Andrew Jackson, 1834:
Truly interesting commentary.
Hi all- Two more snippets below, copied verbatim from the papers cited. There is much history that's been actively hidden from us. It's no accident that after the bankers were bodily thrown from Andrew Jackson's office, they couldn't get a foothold in the American government for another 70 years. Americans of the 19th century were educated in the wiles and ways of Usury. It's also no accident that the Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1913, the same year as the Federal Reserve, one of the ADL's functions being to serve as the bulldogs to protect the Bankers' interests (pun intended) in America. Those interests are the enslavement of Americans, including the coopting of the political parties and the imposition of the mortgage system as we know it today. Snippets: Extract of a letter from N.M. Rothschild, London To his agents here, dated Oct. 6th, 1834 "I am happy to inform you that the mislaid 735 United States Bank shares have been found and I beg you will have the goodness to give immediately all publicity to their being in my possession." Baltimore Patriot The St. Louis Gazette says: "We are informed that an English agent, said to have been commissioned by the house of Rothschild, has lately visited the Iron Mountain district and has been negotitating with a view to the construction of the rail road between the Iron Mountain and the Mississippi. It is confidently stated - but we hardly know how credibly - that at least 500 men will engaged and actually occupied on the work by September next." The Pittsfield Sun
AS...Jackson not only disliked pushy bankers, he was aware of people that wanted to be professional politicians. Term limits should have been instituted then. Jackson...."Decrying officeholders who seemed to enjoy life tenure, he believed Government duties could be "so plain and simple" that offices should rotate among deserving applicants."
For years, I've been of the opinion that the legislature of state governments should be along the lines of jury duty. Perhaps the same could be said of Congress.
Good heavens, you want ordinary citizens to determine the welfare of this country???? What an idea. (Sort of like the Founding Fathers had in mind)
It'd be nice if we all - smart, stupid, rich and poor - had a voice.
Founding Fathers discussed term limits but decided was not necessary as no one would want to stay for life. On that point they were horribly wrong. The South when they adopted their Constitution had strict term limits for all elected offices. Course the North was much smarter and did not follow suit.
The more I study about the period of the Constitution and the preceding Articles of Confederation, the less respect I have for the Founding Fathers (with the exception of a few). At least I'm consistent. I have little to no respect for any politician. : )
Careful now, Ben is in my family tree.
No worries. Ben's one of the ones that I like. Jefferson, Henry and Mason are on the same list. Aaron Burr should have a statue in the middle of DC just for shooting Hamilton. BTW, I have it on good authority that Monticello is suppressing a couple of letters from Jefferson to Franklin on the benefits of smoking hemp. It just wouldn't do to have Americans thinking that hemp, the material on which the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were written, has any uses that some Founding Fathers may have proscribed.
I have some of Bens traits, bad ones, over weight, like the ladies, especially those that can cook.
