OVERTURNING THE MYTH OF ANDREW JACKSON

When I used to listen to Alex Jones a few years ago, one tune he would frequently play was Johnny Horton's The Battle of New Orleans which praised Andrew Jackson:



Horton also wrote a song called Johnny Reb which praises the alleged bravery of the Confederate soldier. Here is Horton reportedly singing that song to the then last surviving soldier of the Confederate Army, Walter Williams:



Jackson began the forced removal of native Americans in which several tribes, the Cherokee included, were herded off their ancestral lands in states that would soon form the beating, slaveholding heart of the Confederacy. This was recognised by the slaveholders of those states, who took over those ancestral lands, when he received 100% of the vote in those states in the 1832 election. Jackson won the 1832 election due to this and his British agent handler Martin Van Buren running the New York political machine.

Alex Jones has stated that his ancestors were colonels and generals in the Confederate Army. For an excellent view of what Jones' Confederate ancestors fought for I would recommend watching the film 12 Years a Slave. Jones had Pastor Chuck Baldwin on his show last year and allowed Baldwin to spew lie after lie about the honour of Confederate General Robert E Lee. The anti-Lincoln books of Thomas DiLorenzo ahev also been pushed by Jones.

There has been a myth generated of Jackson. Two major 'conspiracy' authors, Eustace Mullins and G Edward Griffin, portray Jackson as smelling of pretty pink roses as he slayed the bankers. Griffin's book is published by The John Birch Society and is flogged by Jones and The Libertarian Party, both of whom Jones identifies with.

So what is the truth about Jackson?

Read Overturning the Myth of Andrew Jackson by Michael Kirsch.

This gives an excellent overview of the British plot to destroy the development of The United States by using Jackson to destroy the Second Bank of the United States. I believe that since then there has been a British operation to hide this plot through authors such as Griffin and Mullins.

But besides this plot, Jackson was just a very nasty man: he would have his slaves beaten upon their capture and return; he believed in slavery that much that he organised a raid on Negor Fort, which was based in Spanish territory, to capture fugitive slaves who had escaped their slavery, paying $50 for each captured slave (but in the process killing 300 of them when a rogue cannonball hit the fort's arsenal); a Cherokee saved Jackson's life, which Jackson appreciated by promising the Cherokee that he and the USA would forever be friends, but Jackson soon forgot this and began the forced removal of native Americans, including the Cherokee, which led to the Trail of Tears and 4000 dead native Americans; Jackson gave the Rothschilds their big break in appointing them as agents for the United States in Europe.

This is just the tip of a very nasty and rotten iceberg.
