It's interesting that none of these so-called history pundits has suggested that the actions of these former presidents could serve us in solving our historic and current economic challenge: getting rid of the international money cabal. In other words, these counterfeit history experts are as phony as our current economic experts. This kind of blatant nonsense is nowhere more indulged in than on the right-wing Charlie Rose show. Having no genuine learning or intellectual acumen of his own, Rose tries to fill his interview table with persons he mistakenly assumes are erudite or sagacious. This accounts for his having had Henry Kissinger on his show 47 times, and explains why he has recently been inviting people like Doris Kearns Goodwin to share her potted unwisdom about the "political genius of Abraham Lincoln" with American viewers. Meacham quoted from Andrew Jackson: "It is to be lamented that the rich too often bend the purposes of government to their selfish ends." Rose: "Wait, stop, do you think this has any appropriate context today?" All Alter had to say about the parallel between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Obama was that FDR had faced a difficult period between the time he was elected and the time he took office and that he did a lot during his first 100 days. So much for history's lessons. Alter said that FDR got credit for "working the problem" of the Great Depression, even if he couldn't solve the problem. Implying that as long as Obama pretends to be "working the problem" of the collapsed American economy, the American people will give him a pass. We can only hope that Americans are not as gullible as people of the ilk of Jonathan Alter and Charlie Rose--and the cabal running the country--think they are; that they'll demand some real solutions to their personal economic problems and not be fooled by Obama merely pretending to be doing something. Financial History After the United States was established, it chartered a national bank in 1791: the Bank of the United States. Only about twenty percent of the national bank was actually owned by the government, the rest by foreign investors. It soon became clear that the Bank was being operated for the benefit of foreign investors, so the Bank's twenty-year charter was not renewed by Congress in 1811. A second national bank was given a federal charter in 1816, but like the first one, it too was largely controlled by foreign investors through such front men as John Jacob Astor, Stephen Girard, and David Parish, a New York agent for the Vienna branch of the Rothschild money interest. This second national bank was controlled by Nicholas Biddle, who administered it according to the aims of its foreign owners and contrary to the welfare of Americans. Americans were well rid of the foreign-dominated second national bank. But they were left in the vulnerable position of having no national bank to further their interests. The foreign financiers, especially such moneyed groups as the Rothschilds, saw their opportunity and soon sent their agents to America to begin setting up state banks. The Rothschild's primary agent in America was August Belmont, who established a large bank in New York City, but also a large number of state banks in the south. The Rothschilds and other European financiers loaned money to state banks at high rates of interest and controlled loan decisions. Many of these state banks, were also supported by state bonds. The state of Mississippi, for example, sold $5 million in bonds with which to subscribe a third of the $15 million capital of the Union Bank. The promoters of the Union Bank made ill-advised loans and within a short time the bank failed. The state officials in Mississippi realized that the foreign financiers had hoped to reap windfall profits and had been largely responsible for the failure of the Union Bank, so these officials refused to repay the money owed the foreign vultures. The Union commissioned Jay Cooke to act as selling agent for its bond issues and Cooke arranged with August Belmont, the New York agent of the Rothschilds, to sell Union bonds in Europe. In 1861 the Confederacy sent James M. Mason to England and John Slidell to France to borrow money. Slidell was a nephew of Belmont's wife. In Paris, John Slidell entered into negotiations with the Erlanger company, confidential representatives of the Rothschilds. Slidell's daughter married Erlanger's son. Even though most investors in confederate bonds lost their shirt, the Erlangers reaped huge profits. To finance his war effort, President Lincoln went with his secretary of the treasury to New York banks to apply for the necessary loans. The money changers, wishing the Union to fail, offered loans at 24% to 36%. Lincoln declined the offer. Lincoln's longtime friend, Colonel Dick Taylor of Chicago, was tasked to solve the problem of financing the war for the Union. Taylor came up with this solution: When Lincoln asked Taylor why the people of America would accept the notes, Taylor replied: When the new currency worked as Colonel Taylor had predicted, Lincoln adopted the strategy of issuing all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the government and the buying power of consumers. Lincoln saw that the privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity. By this single act by Lincoln, money ceased, for a short time, to be the master and became the servant of the nation. Lincoln said: "Democracy will rise superior to the money power." Placing monetary and currency power in the hands of the federal government worked so well that Lincoln began considering the adoption of this emergency measure as a permanent policy. This policy was advantageous for everyone except the money power cabal who quickly expressed their views in an article in the London Times. The Tsar issued a declaration: if France or Britain provide assistance to the American Confederacy, Russia will consider this an act of war. While the international cabal waited to see if Alexander II's threat was real, the Union won the civil war. The best hypothesis concerning Lincoln's death--as explored in David Balsiger and Charles E. Sellier, Jr.’s 1977 book, The Lincoln Conspiracy, C. K. Howe's Who Rules America? and R. E. Search's Lincoln Money Martyred--is that he was assassinated by a lone psychotic gunman (sound familiar?), part of a carefully designed plot hatched by the money power. The American Civil War cost the Union about $3.2 billion and the Confederacy close to $2 billion, all money loaned on interest. August Belmont, the Democratic National Chairman, sabotaged the Democratic presidential candidate, Horatio Seymour, through personal attacks made in his New York World newspaper, assuring the election of the Republican candidate, General Ulysses S. Grant. The new Congress, elected in 1868, passed the so-called Credit Strengthening Act of March 18, 1869. It was the first act passed by that body and signed by the new President Grant. The passage of that Act was equivalent to the payment to the Rothschilds and their banker satellites in America and abroad of at least $275 million over and above the amount they otherwise would have received in the form of interest and principal for the bonds they owned or controlled. At least since the American presidential election of 1868, the financiers who rule this country have made sure that they have hand-picked presidential candidates in all political parties. Whichever party wins, they have their puppet in power. President Franklin D. Roosevelt saved capitalism from its own Robber Baron excesses by instituting his New Deal policies, which included Social Security and various oversight features. While conditions for workers improved under New Deal progressivism, Roosevelt unfortunately retained the underlying bankrupt capitalist derangement, so that it soon reared its demonic head and began to seize control once more. The country slowly returned to the earlier system of predatory capitalism, so that full recovery occurred only when the economy was harnessed to arms production in preparation for a new plundering of world markets in the imperialistic bloodbath of World War II. In other words, even the "miracle" of FDR's recovery was possible only when unemployed workers had been transformed into cannon fodder for a new world conflagration. The cabal has destroyed all the oversight features of the New Deal and is continually trying to loot Social Security through "privatization" (piratization). Following FDR's presidency they took total command of the American federal government. Unlike the FDR era during the Great Depression (1920s and 1930s) and the post-World War II era--when the cabal allowed some worker benefits--the current cabal now has no use for American workers because the capitalists have taken their manufacturing to slave-labor havens such as China, Mexico, and India. JFK was assassinated because he was planning to restructure the Federal Reserve System so it could no longer be used by the ruling powers to manipulate the economy. As we seek to vanquish this fiendish money power, a major obstacle is that the American mind has been so debilitated by this very cabal that its demonic machinations are all but invisible: U.S. citizens are virtually oblivious to their systematic annihilation. We must assist Americans to awaken to the cabal's immediate fatal threat to their very existence. Then we must act immediately in these ways: 1 A conversation with Jon Meacham 2 A conversation about Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln 3 Jim Marrs. (1989).

Demonic Cabal
A great deal of nonsense is being spoken and written these days about learning the lessons of history in order to solve our current problems. Much of it has been targeted at President-elect Barack Obama, as if he were a reincarnation of Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, or John F. Kennedy and can use the precedents of these great presidents as a model for our present political situation.
Adding to his roster of "learned" sophists, Charlie recently had Jon Meacham 1 on his program to tell us what Andrew Jackson has to teach us about our current situation. Discussing his new book, American Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House, Meacham came to a point where he explained that Andrew Jackson had rid the nation of the Bank of the United States because he saw it as "corrupting the republic."
Meacham: "Well, there you go."
Rose: "Go ahead." (hurrying the conversation away from dangerous content)
On November 17, 2008, Charlie had a special show on "A conversation about Barack Obama and Abraham Lincoln." 2 Jonathan Alter was included in the program so he could speak to Obama's recent statement on 60 Minutes that he had been reading Alter's book The Defining Moment: FDR’s Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope."We cannot understand the role of the people in history unless we also understand the historical illusions which misrepresent history in order to serve the interests of privileged classes. Thus culture must be studied as a weapon in the struggle of classes." 
This pretence of studying history to find solutions to current problems was best illustrated by Mark Halperin of Time magazine in this same interview show when he pontificated:"The public mood is not as crisis-oriented as Roosevelt faced. People know the country's going in the wrong direction. They see their big problems. But in the real economy, for most people, things are still okay; there's not a sense of abject crisis."
This kind of abject imbecility shows that pundits are totally clueless about what is really going on--or they pretend not to know. Get down out of your New York City skyscraper office and speak to real Americans, Halperin, and you'll discover that most people are NOT still okay and they ARE living an abject crisis: they have lost their jobs, their homes, their 401Ks, and are not willing to give Obama or any of the other cabal puppets a break if they don't start providing real relief for the woes of American workers. Presidents Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy provide Americans with genuine historical lessons--about how to fight against what Lincoln called "the money power." Economic issues have been among the most important problems Americans have had to solve from the beginning of our nation.
Highlights of U.S.
The history of the United States is the history of the ongoing war between the international money power and the common people of America. For much of our history, those in political and economic power in the U.S. have worked on the side of the international cabal. As American citizens are today struggling against this demonic force's deliberate collapse of the U.S. and world economy to destroy American workers, we can learn from our history how to defeat this fiendish creature. 
In 1836, President Andrew Jackson vetoed the bill which would have renewed the national bank's charter which expired that year. In his veto message, President Jackson said: "The bold efforts the present bank has made to control the government, the distress it has wantonly caused, are but premonitions of the fate which awaits the American people should they be deluded into a perpetuation of this institution or the establishment of another like it."
The European financiers bought up "repudiated" southern state bonds and then began to use their financial power to have the United States federal government compel the southern states to pay off the disputed claims. The foreign financier groups also thought they might be able to use their money power to force the U.S. federal government to assume the debts of the southern state banks as federal obligations. At its inception, the newly-formed United States had assumed the debts of the colonies, so the foreign vultures thought they might be able to force the federal government to pay off the southern states' debts. The issue of "states' rights" versus a "strong central authority" became a national crisis point and the American civil war was the result. The money cabal would try to split the United States into two warring factions so the nation could be conquered by Britain and France."It is not to be doubted, I know of absolute certainty, that the division of the United States into two federations of equal power was decided long before the Civil War by the high financial powers of Europe. These bankers were afraid that the United States, if they remained as one block and were to develop as one nation, would attain economic and financial independence, which would upset the capitalist domination of Europe over the world."
The European financiers had exacerbated the discord and hostility between the North and the South. Knowing full well that war was their best means of reaping huge profits, these vultures did everything in their power to instigate an American civil war. They worked both sides of the street, as usual.
The international money power's plan was to split the United States into North and South and allow Britain and France to take control over the weakened nation, as Bismarck and others indicated. Great Britain moved 11,000 troops into Canada, positioning them along America's northern border for quick attack, while the British fleet went on full war alert. Within months after the first shots were fired at Fort Sumter, the international central bankers loaned Napoleon III of France (the nephew of the Waterloo Napoleon) 210 million francs to seize Mexico and station troops along the southern border of the U.S., taking advantage of the Civil War to violate the Monroe Doctrine and return Mexico to colonial rule."Just get Congress to pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender treasury notes . . . and pay your soldiers with them and go ahead and win your war with them also."
"The people or anyone else will not have any choice in the matter, if you make them full legal tender. They will have the full sanction of the government and be just as good as any money; as Congress is given that express right by the Constitution."
Lincoln decided to try this plan, printing $450 million in new bills using green ink on the back to distinguish them from other bank and currency notes. The notes became known as greenbacks."If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become endurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in the history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe."
Hazard Circular - London Times, 1865
In 1863, Lincoln needed just a bit more money to win the war, but he knew he could not get congressional authority to issue more greenbacks. Seeing their opportunity, the money changers proposed that Congress pass the National Bank Act. Congress acceeded and from that time on the entire American money supply has been created by bankers buying U.S. government bonds and issuing currency."The money power preys upon the nation in times of peace and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. Corporations have been enthroned, 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 the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the Republic is destroyed."
the National Banking Act of 1863 was passed
Lincoln was able to win the civil war by receiving assistance from a most unexpected source: the Tsar of Russia. Alexander II was well aware of the international money cabal's scams and he refused to allow them to set up a central bank in Russia. Alexander II was well aware that if the Union lost the war and the U.S. were to be plundered by the international money cabal, that they would soon attack Russia.
Lincoln decided to wait until after the election of 1864 to seek renewed public support before reversing the National Bank Act he had been pressured into approving during the war. The money power was fully aware of Lincoln's opposition to the international central banks' world financial control. The international cabal decided that Lincoln must be assassinated. "Out of this modern civilization economic royalists carved new dynasties. New kingdoms were built upon concentration of control over material things. Through new uses of corporations, banks and securities, new machinery of industry and agriculture, of labor and capital - all undreamed of by the Fathers - the whole structure of modern life was impressed into this royal service."
The international cabal's looting of America continued into the twentieth century, when they set up their own private banking system in 1913--the "Federal" Reserve System--to control the U.S. monetary system. 
In the 1920s and 30s, the capitalists so destroyed the American economy through their criminally corrupt practices that they couldn't restart their system."These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for." "The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the government." 
As we've seen, when an American president such as Abraham Lincoln threatens to return monetary power to the federal government, the international money cabal is not above assassinating such a leader. This same scenario occurred during the presidency of John F. Kennedy.“Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning to the Constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest.
Fascism: an economic system in which the power elite, variously termed oligarchy, plutocracy, cabal, or ruling class, employ the police power of the State to enforce the economic domination of privately owned cartels and corporations, industrial and financial; a militaristic regime that exalts nation above the individual, the rich above the poor, uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition, and stands for a totalitarian government headed by a dictatorial leader 
Whether you realize it or not, your very life is now being threatened by the same money power cabal that has decimated American workers throughout this nation's history. In reviewing our nation's true lessons of history, we've seen that four courageous U.S. presidents--Jackson, Lincoln, F. D. Roosevelt, and Kennedy--saw the fascistic nature of this international cabal and struggled to conquer it. Two of these brave presidents paid for their efforts with their very lives.
"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism – ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power." "Cultural history emerges in its truth and grandeur when it is seen as an unceasing struggle between the oppressor and the oppressed. This is also the link between the present and the past. The long battle against the oppressor is not ended. Man has not yet become the full master of his own life, of the conditions of his social existence."
