Let’s connect the dots, anons:
1776 - Declaration of Independence… all you English buggers can bugger off
1783 - Treaty of Paris
1791 - Bank of the United States established (thanks to Hamilton)
1811 - Bank of US killed off as charter is not renewed
1812 - War with ENGLAND… coincidence?
1815 - War ends even though England had us by the balls
1816 - 2nd Bank of the US… coincidence?
1836 - 2nd Bank ends, charter expires
1861 - Start of Civil War (wait, nothing civil about it; War Between the States? War of Northern Aggression?)
1861 - Gallatin marches on Washington re: Gold
1863 - National Currency Act; National Banking Act
1863 - ENGLAND sells arms to North and South; Purchases US War Bonds
1864 - National Banking Act, replaces the 1863 Act
1865 - National Bank Act establishes a tax on banks
1865 - Lincoln assassinated (over War Bonds?)
We could continue, with mentions of the various financial panics of the late-1800s. We could discuss the establishment of the Federal Reserve on December 23, 1913 as the final business before the Christmas holiday. Interdasting that many opponents happened (coincidence?) to be on the Titanic (sunk in 1912).
It’s the golden rule: he who has the gold makes the rules. History is not what you’ve been taught.
