Andrew Jackson Establishes The Pork Barrel: The forces for
corruption in government were there from the start. Thomas
Jefferson put it well in a letter to Lafayette in 1823 when he
wrote: "I do not believe with the Rochefoucaults and Montaignes,
that fourteen of fifteen men are rogue. I believe a great
abatement from that proportion may be made in favor of general
honesty. But I have always found that rogues would be uppermost,
and I do not know that the proportion is to strong for the
higher orders... These set out with stealing the people's good
opinion, and then steal from them the right of withdrawing it by
contriving laws and associations against the power of the people
themselves." Andrew Jackson knew that people like Jefferson had
loans from the Rothschilds and he saw the dangers of letting
anyone charge interest on loans to governments that could always
be whipped up in a frenzy of war to accelerate the debt and
mortgage the future of the nation. We must look with favor upon
his fight to control the international financiers but having to
buy off so many other people was the devil?s bargain and in the
long run we see the Rothschilds won the battle when they had
their agents buy the media and create the FED.
