Andrew Jackson was probably one of the most intrepid men of his era to vigorously oppose a privately-owned central bank because he foresaw that eventually usurers would end up cheating the common people.
...The question is really simple: If the Bank was a responsible financial institution, why did it contribute to the national debt? If Jackson was so ignorant and unscrupulous, why did he eliminate the national debt by January 1835? Historian and economist Murray N. Rothbard writes,
“Far from being the ignorant bumpkins that most historians have depicted, the Jacksonians were steeped in the knowledge of sound economics, particularly of the Ricardian Currency School.”

But Andrew Jackson was a traitor to the USA, witting or unwitting.
The article contains a portrait of Andrew Jackson, with a quote attributed to Jackson: "You are a den of vipers and thieves, and by the Eternal, I will you rout you out!".
But the article does not address the "den of vipers and thieves" who sat around Jackson and what they did with money belonging to the United States. Jackson is famous, and in my view undeservedly praised, for destroying the Second Bank of The United States (BUS2). One action that led to this destruction was the removal of money belonging to The United States Government from the bank. Jackson appointed three people to the position of Secretary of the Treasury to get that money removed. The first two refused to remove the money. So Jackson sacked both of them and eventually appointed Roger B Taney. Like Jackson, Taney was a slaveholder, but from Maryland, and as Attorney General of The United States under Jackson, Taney upheld the rights of slaveholders. Taney would eventually write the verdict in the Dred Scott case. But when Taney removed the federal funds from BUS2, where were they deposited? In banks owned by Taneys' pals!! And what did they proceed to do with all that loot that really belonged to the people of The United States not Taney's pals? Despite Jackson's alleged hatred of paper money, Taney's pals used the magic of fractional reserve banking and used that loot as a base to create lots and lots of money out of thin air and cause an unregulated monetary expansion and speculation in land which would ultimately lead to the Panic of 1837.
The article regurgitates the usual crap that Jackson fought the bankers, which I assume has been picked up from Eustace Mullins and G Edward Griffin, among others. Both of these authors have produced 'good' books in that they expose to some degree the Rothschilds and The Federal Reserve system, yet both push this myth that Jackson fought the Rothschilds.
If that is the case, then why did Jackson appoint the Rothschilds as bankers to the USA?!
This myth that Jackson fought the Rothschilds is due to two unsourced references. The first is from Eustace Mullins who claims, without a reference, that Nicholas Biddle was an agent of the Rothschilds. The second is from Gustavus Myers who claims, only in a footnote and without a reference, that the Rothschilds were the power behind BUS2.
The curious thing about Myers is that the 'reference', i.e. unsourced footnote, from Myers is in a 3 volume series on the great American fortunes, which has extensive chapters on families such as Astor, Morgan and Vanderbilt. Yet despite stating (without a reference) that the Rothschilds were the power behind BUS2, Myers does not write a chapter on the Rothschilds! Yet he is prepared to casually say (and only in a footnote) that the Rothschilds ran the Second Bank of The United States! Very curious, considering that they are definitely the power behind the Federal Reserve.
And as for Mullins, the case against Mullins and his deliberate manipulation of history is his use (or rather abuse) of the autobiography of Wall Street banker Henry Clews, which is entitled 28 Years in Wall Street. I cover this abuse/manipulation by Mullins in A FLAW which I posted on 30th January 2013. In A FLAW I expose that Clews does not say what Mullins states Clews says, and that contrary to Mullins' claim that the Panic of 1837 was engineered by the Rothschilds because Jackson had destroyed 'their' Second Bank of the United States, thus implying that Jackson fought the Rothschilds, Clews states that it was Jackson who caused the Panic of 1837 by his removal of federal funds from BUS2, which led to Jackson's banker pals causing a huge monetary expansion and land speculation bubble which led to Jackson issuing his Specie Circular demanding that payment to the US Government for privatised land be made in silver or gold.
There are some other suspicious things about Mullins:
1. he had access to The Library of Congress that only intelligence agents had;
2. when asked about his poor referencing he always responded with, "It's in The Library of Congress";
3. his benefactor, Ezra Pound, was an admirer of Martin van Buren, as well as of Hitler and Mussolini!
I will soon show that van Buren was a traitor to the USA.
Another myth is that Jackson paid off the national debt, implying that Jackson paid off ALL the debt. I will agree that he did pay off the debt, but most of the debt had been paid off by Nicholas Biddle, the hard work having been done by Biddle through his implementation of The American System of Economics that built American industry and thus America into a threat to the British Empire, a threat that ultimately led to the British engineering the US Civil War to splinter the USA so that the British and their allies could pick up the pieces. Jackson had only a very small amount of debt to pay off. So how did Jackson do this? Not through industry. He sold government land and privatised it all. I wonder who bought all that? It was this privatisation by Jackson that led to Jackson issuing his Specie Circular.
So does Clews praise Jackson?
Not one bit.
Clews mocks Jackson and his sidekick van Buren, and accuses Jackson and his hangers on such as van Buren of bad mismanagement, and actually praises Biddle for his management of BUS2 and the economy!
But does Mullins mention this? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!
So far from being "steeped in the knowledge of sound economics", as supporter of Rockefeller-sponsored Austrian Economics Murray Rothbard is quoted in the article as stating, Jackson and his supporters were at least guilty of total greed and mismanagement, but there is also very strong evidence that this was plot by the British to destroy the United States from becoming a threat to the British Empire.
The question is, why?
So who was Jackson?
Jackson is portrayed as the all American hero for defeating the British at New Orleans, much like Obama is portrayed as the all American hero for allegedly killing Osama bin Laden in 2011. But bin Laden died around Christmas 2001 from Marfan Syndrome. If this news had been released there would have been no war on Afghanistan to get the opium harvest up to record levels after the Taliban had destroyed it, and there would have been no wars on Iraq, Lebanon, Libya and Syria.
Jackson was a major slaveholder from Tennessee who was implicated in treason against the United States well before he was President. The founder of The American System of Economics was Alexander Hamilton. Hamilton was assassinated by bona fide traitor Aaron Burr, who shot Hamilton in an ungentlemanly manner during a duel the two had, a duel due to Hamilton exposing Burr's treason to hand over New England back to the British. After this assassination Burr fled New York and stayed with Jackson for several months to plot the handing over a different portion of the United States, Louisiana, back to the British. Burr was arrested and tried but got off because one of his pals led the grand jury. Burr then escaped to Great Britain and stayed a few years with British intelligence agent Jeremy Bentham. Burr returned to the USA and teamed up with Martin van Buren, the two having become political allies and friends before Burr fled to Great Britain. Following Jackson becoming the hero of The Battle of New Orleans, these two traitors, Burr and van Buren, then began to promote Jackson for President.
But members of the LPAC team, past and present, who promote The American System of Economics and this version of Andrew Jackson, do not get off either. Last summer I read The Sixth Great Power: Barings 1762-1929 by Philip Ziegler which is a biography of the Barings family. The Barings were that powerful that Ziegler called them the sixth great power, comparing them to the power of a nation, even an empire. Barings are portrayed as the masters of evil, at the centre of British intrigue against the rebel United States, running The British East India Company.
I posted quite frequently last summer on my curious findings, some of which were:
1. The President of the Bank of North America and The First Bank of The United States was Thomas Willing, from the Anglophile Shippen family. Willing did not support independence, yet he was appointed to these very powerful positions. Willing had appointed Barings as his personal bankers in 1774. He appointed them bankers to the United States Government too!!
2. And to add to this business relationship between Willing and Barings, two of Willing's granddaughters married into the Baring family!!
3. Despite their alleged hatred of all things American, Barings supported the USA during the 1812 War and supported Lincoln during the Civil War. They could have let the USA go down financially at several times by denying credit, but didn't, the most relevant example is the troublesome but profitable relationship between Barings and The Second Bank of the United States under Biddle. Barings also brokered the purchase of Louisiana and Alaska.
I have written to both Anton Chaitkin and Webster Tarpley about this curious relationship that Barings had with the United States.
As yet I have not heard from either.
