He stopped charter renewal of the second Rothschild-controlled central bank. Jackson even has "I Killed The Bank" written on his tombstone. Many believe this populist message relating to banking helped to launch the Democratic party.

To the monstrous misfortune of us 99 percent, with utmost deceit and malice aforethought, the Federal Reserve Act was slimed through while most of congress was on Christmas break, 1913. Woodrow Wilson, JP Morgan's bag man (much of Wilson's administration were Morgan men), immediately signed it into law. And now, 98 years later, we've been all but bled white.

Getting Bankula off our throat this time seems nearly impossible. As proven over the years, a most dangerous thing a president might do is defy private central banking.

In the words of Niall Ferguson, of the House of Rothschild:

    There are now only 5 nations on the world left without a Rothschild controlled central bank: Iran; North Korea; Sudan; Cuba; and Libya."

Joining that tiny elite club might be one of the greatest achievements possible for our 99 percent.  

Military Adventurism

It's conceivable that nobody really knows how much we spend on "defense". Between the Fed, and the Pentagon--it's surprising our jar has any cookies left at all.

Black operations, information blackouts for national security, all the "unknown unknowns"...the Pentagon is such a black hole that $2.3 trillion are "unaccounted for" and nobody seems to have a clue where it all went. Despite getting double billing in the lengthy list of amazing 9/11 coincidences, the money is still missing.

There was certain scuttlebutt about the issue for months...but then, Secretary of Offense Donald Rumsfeld chose to make a formal public announcement on 9/10/01. And if that's not an amazing coincidence by itself, making it news the day before 9/11 would bury the story...whatever hit the newly-renovated area of the Pentagon was aimed precisely at the only department so far to settle back into the renovated area. That department was the Army's Resource Services Washington, consisting of mostly civilian accountants tasked with finding out where the missing $2.3 trillion went. 34 of the department's 65 employees--over half of the only people that could have been hot on the missing trillions' trail--were killed, all their work vaporized. Beyond amazing, maybe even an unknown known unknown, the richest kind.

The Pentagon is so out of control they are even inventing new kinds of "defense", such as the utterly ominous, humanitarian aggression; killing foreign civilians to protect them, mostly from the air.

We currently spend more on "defense" than all the world's other countries combined. So:

Close our nearly 1,000 military bases on foreign soil. Stop the wars of plunder, whatever they may currently be veiled as. Stop the neocon obsession with taking over the world ("benign global hegemony"). Bring our troops home with a new mission: Defense. Imagine...a whole new mission for the Department of Offense: Defense.

The 1 percent may pretend that offense and defense are the same thing, that a good offense is the best defense. But the world--that other 95 percent of global population--knows the difference quite clearly.

No Leadership?

Is the main reason Corporatocracy denigrates the "occupiers" for having no defined leadership because there's no clear target for assassination? Who's to disappear when nobody invites disappearance? Leaders can be lightning rods; lack of leaders makes it impossible to know exactly where to strike. Disappearing the whole lot of those "without a clear message" might be tempting, but even with martial law would be messy, bad for the image.
