What do Julius Caesar, Andrew Jackson, Alexander Hamilton, President James Garfield, and Abraham Lincoln have in common?

They were targeted with assassination after they tried to end Central Banks.

These are some of my notes from last couple years of reading:
Let's start with Caesar. After years of financial turmoil (inflation, etc). Caesar went against central bankers to reform the economy and seized control of the Treasury. tried return Rome to a citizen/government owned bank and not a private one.

He was assassinated after. Image
Many have speculated that Caesar's death was at the behest of Central Bankers. (tenable) After his assassination, we do know for sure that the Roman Republic would devolve into the "Empire" phase.
Jumping to Lincoln. He created "greenbacks" a central U.S. "dollar" to use as a tool to unite the North and south financially. Lincoln had Salmon P. Chase pass the "National Banking Act" to protect the issuing banks.

5 days after the bill was passed Lincoln was assassinated. Image
The sequence of events isnt the only datapoint for the connection to Central Bankers.

Otto Von Bismarck implicitly blamed Lincoln assassination on bankers: Image
But that's not the only source.
A Canadian Minister named McGeer in the 1930s also blamed bankers for the Lincoln Assassination Image
There was a claim that John Wilkes Booth (Lincoln Assassin) was bragging that people in Europe had put him up to it Image
McGeer referred to the conspiring group of bankers the "Sound Money" group which ironically is a term we hear a lot now "sound money" and "sound fiscal policy" etc. Image
8 months after the death of Lincoln they instituted the gold standard. The Bankers immediately demonetized silver (plentiful in America and being used as currency) and moved to a gold (rare in america) as the central currency.

Andrew Jackson tried to kill the Second Bank of America (aptly named because it was the second attempt at a Central Bank). Nicholas Biddle (who was in charge of the bank) manipulated the media and papers to oppose Jackson. When this didnt work, they tried to kill Jackson. Image
When the assassination attempt failed, Biddle forced the economy into a depression using the power of the bank, and blame Jackson. This too didnt work. Jackson he went on to kill the Second Bank Of America's charters. Thus ending the America's second Central Bank Image
Three years after one of America's first financial depressions Garfield was elected. He blamed the artificial depression on Central Bankers.

He was assassinated (on 2 July 1881) a few weeks after saying this: Image
The Rothschilds, Warburgs, Schiffs and their vassals: Rockefellers, Morgans, Vanderbilts, and Carnegies met at Jekyll Island to figure out how to build a private central bank. They called it the "First Names Club" cuz they didnt want the staff of the resort to know who they were Image
Woodrow Wilson is credited for trying to create what would later be referred to as "Stalinist" censorship regimes in USA. You might remember this from the recent Nina Jankowicz "Disinformation Governance Board" debacle. (which i collaged at the time) Image
Woodrow Wilson campaigned to end Central Bank if he won presidency and his fellow Democrats won Congress.
He was elected and democrats swept congress.
Then they did a 180.
They supported the Bank, passed Federal Reserve Act of 1913 and created income tax.
Fun Fact:
It takes 3/4ths of Congress to Amend the Constitution (more than normal bills). The 16th amendment implemented Federal Income Taxes (to pay for the Central Bank).
But!
They never got the votes, and passed it anyway.
Many say the 16th Amendment is illegal. Image
By his second term Woodrow Wilson was beginning to realize how bad an idea the Central bank was. He said this: Image
Then on his deathbed he said this about the Federal Reserve Act.....but the damage was already done, there was a privately controlled, unelected bank at the center of the American center of government. Image
SO.
The Federal Reserve is the REASON we have Federal Income Tax. The Federal Reserve bond scheme is "paid back" using money collected Income Taxes! (some dispute this, but effectively the "National Debt" is financed largely by tax payers). Image
Prior to the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, and the 16th Amendment, "federal income taxes" has been ruled unconstitutional TWICE by the Supreme Court.
Fun Fact: JP Morgan "saved" but the bankers themselves actually caused the Great Depression. JP Morgan seized opportunity as "land grab".

Image
Woodrow Wilson seems like he was a fountain of terrible ideas. Image
I could go into a whole thread on the Warburgs, Rothschilds and Schiffs, Great Depression and WW2. and linking to modern-day politicians like Jamie Raskin et al. a thread for another time. Suffice to say:
JP Morgan died "poor"
Many think he was a front-man for European bankers.
Image
Image
American struggles with Central Bank throughout history are not unique, for many of these Central Banks "link up" in Basel at the BIS.
(video from @financelancelot)
Jack Ma was silenced for opposing the Chinese communist party (CCP). This is what the media claimed. If you pull the transcript of his speech, you see that actually he was speaking out against the Central Banking system in Basel.

As people start running their mouths about NATO, remember: NATO was always a "psyop". A right-in-front-of-your-face bit of slight-of-hand.

Hitler's Chief of Staff (Adolf Heusinger) became NATO's Chief of Staff!

not just NATO, but also the "UN".

the first EIGHT undersecretaries of the U.N. were Soviet-born Communists!

They even said it to STRAIGHT to our faces but we were still too stupid to "understand"

It was ALWAYS about consolidating a ONE-WORLD government. It was ALWAYS about conquer.

"The accounts of the Federal Reserve System have never been audited, it operates outside the control of Congress"
--B.Goldwater

Why are we even still playing this game? Pretending like everyone doesn't already know that The Fed is a huge hoax and scam?
repeat after me:
"Central Banks are how secretive Aristocracy Arrests Autodetermination of Free Republics."
repeat it one more time:

"Central Banks are how Aristocracy Arrests Autodetermination"

Just before New Years 2025, I struck gold at a hole-in-the-wall used book store. One of the books I found was

"The Mind And Face of Bolshevism"

printed in 1929. Cloth Cover. Embossed. gold leaf star with color photos and lithographs. Here's some of what's inside: (🧵1 / 13) Image
Image
Image
Image
As you read this book, (or about the Bolsheviks in general) a very strange thing happens.

It occurs to you that the Bolsheviks are eerily familiar. Everything, their art, writing, media, their "sayings" and their general "vibe" is all so familiar... but why?

The empty-calorie futurism, naive utopianism, impractical designs, and fact-free idealism are EXACTLY what we see everywhere today.

We've been so inundated with it in recent years that even this ~100 year old book feels eerily current

The Corporate Press just REFUSES to connect dots for the public like these:
- TWO major mass shootings (2022 Buffalo, NY & Christchurch, NZ 2019) were linked to Ukraine neo-nazis
- The Senator👇who met Zelensky in Minnesota (🚨 ) is now in trouble for smurfing (aka laundering)
So just to be clear:
- Ukraine (accused of being a money-laundering front for foreign aid)...
- meets with Senator who just recently had evidence released of campaign-fund laundering
- They meet in THE SAME STATE the "largest fraud" in US history now is🤔 Image
Image
Context & source for the "Ukraine money-laundering": The UN.

Dawg...they have been fighting FOREVER. it's all in the *first* 3 mins 👇 : Crimea, Kiev, Russia, The Kremlin, The Tsar, The Khan.... and this was in 1547!!!

Ukraine (the Borderlands) is called "The Bloodlands", cuz they've been fighting FOR. EVER.

The clip above is from Groznyy ("The Terrible") 2024 about the time of "Ivan the Terrible" (who, IMHO, wasnt so bad)...and it's all in there.

the names are different but the places and their beefs are basically the same (Odessa, Kiev, Donbas, etc)

I have said "we live in the shadow of an old aristocracy" quite often in my threads. but why?

Let's pick a random part of life. Entertainment. A random popular show. Seinfeld. A random character. Elaine

Daughter of French Billionaire, but not just any Billionaire
(🧵 1 of 14) Image
Image
So it turns out, Seinfeld's "Elaine" (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is from a family dynasty of the largest food shippers in the world. She's not just some random quirky former SNL-cast member.

Leopold Louis Dreyfus was the "King of Wheat" and his empire controlled the World's wheat supply during the Great Depression and World War 1 and World War 2.

They even "diversified" into arms trade.
