"I killed the bank." Andrew Jackson Great history of central banks and monetary policy. mcalvanyweeklycommentary.com Audio podcast with text to follow along and copy for excerpts. This came around the time that 0bama was going to put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. These guys figured Andrew Jackson would have been good with that as he wanted nothing to do with Central Banks. Kevin: “I killed the bank.” That’s what reads on Andrew Jackson’s gravestone, not that he was the seventh President of the United States, not that he was part of a very young revolutionary country, but I killed the bank – pretty significant. David: If you consider what the challenge was, this is the second central bank of America and the first charter was allowed to expire under the suspicion of corruption. The Federal Reserve is the third central bank of America. We just can't seem to kill the beast for good. David: But take your $20 bill and explain – the first central bank went away because it was deemed too corrupt to be allowed to exist. Kevin: But then came the second. David: Lo and behold it was resurrected as the second central bank, and by 1833 it was killed. It was killed by Andrew Jackson. Now, since he is being wiped off of the $20 bill, so is the history of the consequence of central banking. And that is where, if you don’t have a $20 gold piece, you can just allude to it. If you have one, it is worth showing the difference between, this bill used to be worth this. Kevin: Which would you like now? I’ll give you a 20, or I’ll give you an ounce of gold. What would you prefer? Because it used to be that was the trade.

Civil War 2.0 Who's the Sovereign in this country? We the People? or DC Inc.? Sovereign immunity - I don't think so. “These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people, and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people’s money to settle the quarrel.” Lincoln's speech to Illinois legislature, Jan. 1837. See Vol. 1, p. 24 of Complete Works of Abraham Lincoln, ed. by Nicolay and Hay (New York: F.D. Tandy Co., 1905) ratical.org archive.org “We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood. . . .It has indeed been a trying hour for the Republic; but I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war,corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless.” The passage appears in a letter from Lincoln to (Col.) William F. Elkins, Nov. 21, 1864.
