Some additional notes on Jackson that you may find interesting:
In 1828 Andrew Jackson took a run at the US Presidency. Throughout his campaign he railed against the international bankers who controlled the BUS. (Bank of the US - the predecessor of the Fed.) Jackson ranted, “You are a den of vipers. I intend to expose you and by Eternal God I will rout you out. If the people understood the rank injustices of our money and banking system there would be a revolution before morning.”
Jackson won the election and revoked the bank’s charter stating, “The Act seems to be predicated on an erroneous idea that the present shareholders have a prescriptive right to not only the favor, but the bounty of the government…for their benefit does this Act exclude the whole American people from competition in the purchase of this monopoly. Present stockholders and those inheriting their rights as successors be established a privileged order, clothed both with great political power and enjoying immense pecuniary advantages from their connection with government. Should its influence be concentrated under the operation of such an Act as this, in the hands of a self-elected directory whose interests are identified with those of the foreign stockholders, will there not be cause to tremble for the independence of our country in war…controlling our currency, receiving our public monies and holding thousands of our citizens independence, it would be more formidable and dangerous than the naval and military power of the enemy. It is to be regretted that the rich and powerful too often bend the acts of government for selfish purposes…to make the rich richer and more powerful. Many of our rich men have not been content with equal protection and equal benefits, but have besought us to make them richer by acts of Congress. I have done my duty to this country.”
Populism prevailed and Jackson was re-elected. In 1835 he was the target of an assassination attempt. The gunman was Richard Lawrence, who confessed that he was, “in touch with the powers in Europe”.
Still, in 1836 Jackson refused to renew the BUS charter. Under his watch the US national debt went to zero for the first and last time in our nation’s history. This angered the international bankers, whose primary income is derived from interest payments on debt. BUS President Nicholas Biddle cut off funding to the US government in 1842, plunging the US into a depression. Biddle was an agent for the Paris-based Jacob Rothschild.
The Mexican War was simultaneously sprung on Jackson. A few years later the Civil War was unleashed, with London bankers backing the Union and French bankers backing the South. The Lehman family made a fortune smuggling arms to the south and cotton to the north. By 1861 the US was $100 million in debt. New President Abraham Lincoln snubbed the Euro-bankers again, issuing Lincoln Greenbacks to pay Union Army bills.
The Rothschild-controlled Times of London wrote, “If that mischievous policy, which had its origins in the North American Republic, should become indurated down to a fixture, then that Government will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off its debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous beyond precedent in the history of the civilized governments of the world. The brains and the wealth of all countries will go to North America. That government must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe.”
Guns played a huge role in ending slavery. No surprise that the typical SJW type would be ignorant of this given the sorry state of the education system. On a related note, PJ O’Rourke once quipped that the abolishionist movement was in large part supported by a bunch of White gun toting Christian zealots.
My Sharpie awaits...
So Obummer wants to get rid of Andrew Jackson - yep - hates him like he hates Churchill - for the same reason: Jackson went after the Muslims - He stopped the Muslims from expanding their Caliphate - stopped ‘em cold on
the shores of Tripoli” - and thereafter, we’ve had the Marines.
And we’ll all let Obummer get away with it....we’ll opine and tsk tsk but we won’t contact our reps and holler loud and clear...

This morning I see on Drudge, not only is Obama changing the 20, but the 10 and the 5.
Gee, won't America have a thrill up it's leg?
/Naught
“Obama administration says pro-gun Republican Harriet Tubman to grace the $20 bill”
Not only will her image appear on the new 20, it will “grace” it. Well, isn’t that special.
Then show her with a gun !
They should put Tupac on the new 4 trillion bill. Tupac got assassinated.
Any way to protest this? Rather any effective way to protest this?
In similar news, the Bureau of Printing and Engraving announced that they will begin issuing new denominations.
There will now be a 9-dollar bill with the portrait of Bruce Jenner on it. Caitlin will be on the 3.
Can any cutlery expert here tell me just what type of weapon that is? It looks unusual to me but I’m no expert. Are those ivory grips?
So we are putting the picture of a terrorist co-conspirator on the twenty dollar bill.
Why not just put Osama Bin Laden on the bill and be done with it.
New 20 bump for later....
he owned slaves
affirmative action even back to the continent
