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.”

Oh great - Rothschild crap again. Jackson was only placed on the $20 in 1928, when his face was selected to replace Grover Cleveland's. Some say it was done by the Feds to mock the man who was against a Federal bank - an inside joke. I looked it up - no one actually knows why Jackson was selected which tells me either it was random or it was done as a mocking of Jackson but only insiders got it.

My personal theory? Jackson was a southerner who was pro union and spoke for preserving the Union. The South was on its way to being re-integrated in American society again and we had a Democrat in the White House a decade earlier. It was probably seen as a gesture to Southerners. Just my pet theory.

Americans always get freaked out when the money design changes - overseas money design changes frequently and no one gets worked up over it. It happens in the USA and suddenly we are bombarded with conspiracy theory freak outs. It is no big deal. In fact I would love to see the faces on the money rotated out every decade. Ronald Reagan on a bill for a decade followed by a new presidential face on a bill for another decade, etc.

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.

Somebody is just making crap up and hoping no one who has studied history will read this.

Andrew Jackson left the Presidency in January of 1837. He died in June of 1845.

The Mexican war, therefore, couldn't have been "sprung on" him, as it didn't start until April of 1846. And the Civil War? April of 1861, 24 years after he left office and 16 years after his death. That would be like associating LBJ with the first Gulf War, it makes no sense whatsoever.
