I clearly remember learning in 8th grade about how hard Andrew Jackson fought the Second Bank of the United States.

But why did the nation eventually create the Reserve, arguably a worse version of the bank with less restrictions than POTUS.

The Rothchilds wanted their greedy hands in the country that would run the world.

So you're siding with a slave owner? Interesting....

Do you know why the Second Bank of the U.S. was established and how the Federal Reserve differed from it both from an operational standpoint and legally?

Let me answer for you: no, no you don't.

Wrong. Our currency was separated from being backed by our gold reserves almost 50 years ago. Every high school graduate knows that....

The Fed Reserve was founded at the end of the 1913.

From 1854 to 1913 (59 years) we had 15 contractions in the United States. They averaged just under 16 months in average duration. Expansions averaged about 24.5 months in duration.

From 1914 to present (105 years) we’ve had only 18 contractions. They averaged just over 13 months in lengths. And expansions averaged just over 50 months in duration. 50.

That’s why we have a Federal Reserve.

Cuz the actual quote which is attributed to Mayer Amschel Rothschild is: Permit me to issue and control the money of a nation, and I care not who makes its laws! Someone needs to rule the world

We went off the gold standard in 1973. In part because debt held by China alone was greater than the value of our gold reserves.

Because years ago a group of politicians and bankers got together on an island and devised a perfect way to control us.
