Hamilton's Legacy and Jackson's Opposition

Was Alexander Hamilton Jewish, and did he lock

America into permanent debt from day one?

The answer, of course, is yes.

New research from a University of Oklahoma professor

says yes, and his research will shock you.

Alexander Hamilton's mother converted to Judaism to

marry a Jewish merchant, and she raised Alexander in the Jewish faith.

Alexander attended a Jewish school and grew up

surrounded by Jewish merchants in the Caribbean sugar trade.

Later in life, as the Secretary of the Treasury,

Hamilton forced the federal government to assume massive war debts,

then created the First Bank of the United States in 1791,

giving private bankers control over the nation's money from day one.

He openly argued that national debt was a good thing,

saying permanent debt would tie wealthy investors to the government

and create a stable financial class that lived off of interest payments forever.

In other words, Hamilton wanted to create a permanent ultra-wealthy

class of individuals who would maintain their wealth simply by collecting interest

payments generated by American citizens paying their debts.

Firms like BlackRock, Vanguard, and the largest Wall Street banks

are the resolve of Hamilton's vision.

But a man named Andrew Jackson saw the threat for what it was.

He called the central bank a hydra of corruption and swore to destroy it.

Jackson pushed back relentlessly, famously declaring,

The bank is trying to kill me, but I will kill it.

And he did exactly that,

destroying the second bank of the United States.

Although Jackson had destroyed the second bank,

the core system Hamilton created survived,

leaving us with what we have today.

Jackson later survived an assassination attempt

when a gunman attempted to shoot him at point-blank range,

but both pistols misfired,

so Jackson beat him relentlessly with his cane.

Andrew Jackson was the true hero who stood up to the bankers,

while Alexander Hamilton was the man who sold us out from the very beginning.
