Presidents most against Federal Reserve?

According to theTruthNews.info (yeah I know it seems dodgy)

A lot of Presidents that wanted the government to print its own money were assassinated or had attempts.
Then often after the assassination things go back to normal.

There might not be any hard evidence linking the assassinations to bankers and the first link I gave might have misinformation… but at least some of their quotes would be accurate.
e.g.

“The bank, Mr. Van Buren, is trying to kill me, but I will kill it.”
It is in wikiquote so perhaps it is accurate.

Maybe “kill” is not literal.

Have there been any presidents that very strongly wanted to stop the Federal Reserve and was able to put it into action?

BTW do people here think we need a Federal Reserve? If so, why did a lot of presidents say we shouldn’t including Abe Lincoln.

Federal Reserve was created in 1913. Whatever Lincoln and Jackson were talking about, it wasn’t the Federal Reserve.

says:
"History of the Privately owned Federal Reserve Bank.

Rothschilds First Bank of the United States…1791-1811
Rothschilds Second Bank of the United States…1816-1836

Free Banking Era due to the efforts of President Andrew Jackson 1829-1837"

My point is it is about debt-free money, etc.

It also says:
“President Lincoln needed money to finance the Civil War, and the international bankers offered him loans at 24-36% interest.”

Yeah so it isn’t the Federal Reserve but some international bankers. BTW what do you think about the questions in my OP?

I think they are conspiracy woo.

I think this’ll get more action over in Great Debates.

Let’s find out!

seems dodgy? seems?

My answer is the same as:

May I offer in evidence use of the words “Rothschilds” and “international bankers”.

OK, OK… there IS potentially a debate hidden in the breathless woo of the OP. To wit:

What is it about an independent central bank that has rubbed some sector of American politics the wrong way ever since nearly the founding of the republic? (Though I’d be surprised if it hasn’t been debated here before)

It is indeed true that the Rothschilds control all but a few of the world’s central banks. That’s why the greatest President to oppose the Fed was actually Hugo Chavez.

While interest-free, Lincoln’s Greenbacks were not “debt-free” — there was an implied promise (“debt”), eventually fulfilled, to pay the notes at face value in gold.

This is interesting! Do you have a good citation? One of Google’s top hits is

I’ll ask the Board’s historians to comment.

Great username / post combo!!

You know who else thought the Rothschilds were too rich and too powerful (and also part of an evil shadow government cabal)? That’s right, Hitler.

Maybe them being able to set the interest rate, etc, when they want allows the banks that run the Federal Reserve to make profits? (Sorry I don’t know much about this) Though I guess the main reason is that the government doesn’t want to pay back interest for their money…

You should read America’s Bank. A very interesting read on the creation of the Federal Reserve, which assumes the reader knows little about how it works at the start, and which in a fairly non-biased way discusses the issues surrounding the concept of a “national bank”.

Which Presidents have not had assasination attempts against them?

From what I can find, Eisenhower was the most recent President who didn’t have an assassination attempt made against him (although the Germans tried to assassinate him during WWII).

Who tried to kill Carter? The rabbit?

John Hinckley originally planned on assassinating Carter. He followed Carter around the country during his 1980 re-election campaign and even went to one of Carter’s events with a gun. But he got nervous and left. He ran out of money and ended up postponing his assassination plans until after Reagan’s inauguration.

There was also Raymond Lee Harvey. He was arrested at a Carter event in 1979 with a gun. But his gun was loaded with blanks. Harvey claimed he was part of a four man conspiracy and his role was to shoot off the blanks to draw police and secret service attention and then the real shooters would kill Carter. But Harvey was mentally ill and the investigation found no evidence that this conspiracy actually existed.

Thank you!! It’s also true that North Korea is not successful because it opposes Rothschild control of their money supply. That makes a lot of sense because real experts never put their findings behind a paywall – they accept small donations via bitcoin.

I looked at the editorial reviews… the book seems to be just saying how good the Federal Reserve is. Like I quoted in the OP, Kennedy was responsible for "nearly four billion dollars of this currency was put into circulation. This new currency was to be distributed through the U.S. Treasury and not the Federal Reserve System. " I wonder if they mentioned people like Kennedy in the book.

One review said “The Federal Reserve is one of the most controversial government organizations. Many fear its powers; fewer actually understand them.”

Apparently the Federal Reserve is privately owned and according to this dodgy site,

On the other hand the Reserve Bank of Australia seems to be a good idea due to it allowing financial stability:

“The Bank is a body corporate wholly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia”

I wonder if that has something to do with the Queen or if it involves private owners?

The site is incredibly dodgy, and the federal reserve is a complex organ with a loooooot of conspiracy theories surrounding it. You’d be better off getting your info from… well, an actual legitimate source, probably.
