Anti-Bankster

On July 10, 1832, U.S. President Andrew Jackson vetoed a bill to re-charter the Second Bank of the United States, in effect ending formal central banking in the United States until the establishment of the Federal Reserve in 1913.

Much as the term “conspiracy theory” may have been demonized, historians have come to acknowledge that the creation of the third central bank of the United States emerged from a conspiracy by financiers to have it created. And one should note that the President who signed its creation into law was a very few years later able to use it to finance US participation in the Great War, with a wide range of disastrous consequences for the world.

I’m no fan of Jackson, but ceteris paribus the integration of the monetary system into the state is a very great ill.
