A Democratic cartoon from 1833 shows Jackson destroying the bank with his "Order for the Removal," to the annoyance of bank president Nicholas Biddle, shown as the Devil himself. Numerous politicians and editors who were given favorable loans from the Bank run for cover as the financial temple crashes down. A famous fictional character Major Jack Downing (right) cheers, "Hurrah! Gineral!"
Lithograph by Edward W. Clay. Praises Andrew Jackson for his destroying the Second Bank of the United States with his "Removal Notice" (removal of federal deposits). Nicolas Biddle portrayed as The Devil, along with several speculators and hirelings, flee as the bank collapses while Jackson's supporters cheer.
Old Hickory was not a WASP, or a Wall Street Man - General Jackson, the Indian Killer was a Zionist.
"There are two really important things that you need to know about Scottish Rite Freemasonry, which most people, even most Freemasons, are completely unaware of - first of all, it's not Scottish...! and second of all, it's not Freemasonry!"
- Frater X,
Author of the Secret War Inside Freemasonry
Indeed. The Scottish Rite, it is true, is not Scottish, but rather mostly French.
So, too, was much of the Confederacy, in particular their planter class of slave-holding Southern Aristocracy.
You just have to look at the names of their Generals - there were surely no Northern a Generals named Beauregard or Lebaux.
This goes right back to the Louisiana Purchase and the Liberation of Haiti during the opening phase of the Napoleonic Wars - Bonnaparte's Corsican brand of Freemasonry, the Grand Lodge of the Orient, was a Federal, rather than colonial path towards New World Order, the intellectual forerunner and antecedent to the Brzezinski school of global dominance and imperialism.
A Federal, United Europe, one people, speaking with one voice, in one common tongue, worshiping one God, in one way, was the goal, back in 1798.
France had only recently lost the 7-Years War (perceptively called in retrospect by Winston Churchill "The real First World War"), largely owing to the fact that the French were ill-prepared to meet the challenge of overwhelming British Naval Maritime Supremacy, and either lacked or where totally outnumbered in terms of the key strategic outposts and bases required to patrol, harrass, blockade or sink British vessels and disrupt the movement of goods, supplies and lines of communication back to London.
The French may well have been able to beat the British and their mercenary armies in India (and they did), but the British could maintain constant, sustained power projection across the entire globe, fighting skirmishes all over the world, everywhere all at once, whereas the French couldn't, and defending non-productive overseas territories beyond Europe was very costly and made little strategic sense, leaving the French military and State as a whole severely over stretched and unable to peruse a proactive war policy, rather than just being purely reactive in it's approach to waging war.
The colonies were a liability.
The French would never have gone to war over the Falklands, and no Great European Imperial power ever would have - far too costly, to little (strategic) gain... You merely regain what it was you had before.
The Easr Timor tragedy happened because the Portuguese just left and face up defending their Indian Ocean colony.
But Napoleon needed cash, and lots of it, and besides European War Aims (what now would be called "Defending and Securing the Homeland") quite clearly took priority, and were far less reliant on luck and blind chance to successful overcome or avoid the tactical whims of fate and the Royal Navy.
This, at a stroke, was an explict abandonment and repudiation of all the efforts and all that had been done for nearly 200 years in terms of not just French attempts to project power and extend their influence into North America, indeed, the entire Western Hemisphere, but also essentially all Spanish efforts to make similar claims outside of Cuba in the Carribian and the Mexican Frontier (which was a lot of frontier), making possible the eventual emergence of the Munroe Doctrine, although men like Alexander Hamilton had already done much of the ideological legwork for the idea, some years prior.
New France, as of 1799 - You know, without any actual settlers, continental armies or any kind of Naval Fleet-in-being to guard the approaches to the Mississipi river system, this is really never going to get off the ground...
