1/ THE FIRST ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF A PRESIDENT
Let’s have some conspiracy fun, eh?
As usual I’m doing this one on the fly, with just a few loose facts & a spark of inspiration?
Which President “suffered” the first assassination attempt?
I’ll give you this image:

2/ That is Richard Lawrence & his target?
Andrew Jackson
What is AJ most famous for?
Fighting the banks.
Specifically: THE Bank
He had a crazy notion it’d influence our elections & cause the rich to become too powerful
Fun fact about the would-be assassin:
*He was a BRIT*

3/ Now you’ll note I put “suffered” in quotes regarding the assassination attempt, & for an awesome reason:
When the guns misfired, AJ just about beat Ricky to death with a cane
AJ apparently yelled “I know where this came from!” about the assassin
Hmm. But there’s more:

4/ First, one of the people that stopped AJ mid-beatdown was Davy Crockett
That’s right:
AJ went so medieval on this guy’s ass
that Davy-Fucken-Crockett had to go “Jesus Andy, enough!”
Legends

5/ But back to the would-be-assassin himself
Of course he was crazy. But his crazy was interesting:
He believed he was the King of England & President AJ’s opposition to the Bank meant he was denying the Crown what it was owed by Congress
“I know where this came from”.
Hmmm.

6/ Now, by all accounts, Ricky was crazy
Nonetheless, reading his days before the attempt is interesting
He wanted to leave the US but said “unnamed persons” were preventing him
His reason for the attempt was so The Bank would happen & England (& supposedly he) would be paid

7/ Supposedly, it was later stated that AJ thought Senator Calhoun planned it
Not the massively powerful banking factions whose plans he was interfering with
Call me crazy, but I don’t think AJ thought a rival in the Senate planned an assassination “just because”
Occam’s Razor

8/ (Side note: some of the reports suggest AJ didn’t get to hit him with the cane; others suggest he got quite a few licks in.
I know which story I prefer
)

9/ The assassination attempt happened in 1835, at the height of “The Bank War” & when President Jackson had turned the tides
& “The Demise of the Bank of the US” began
Precious metals, eh? Sound familiar?
& for the crazy assassin to SAY it was because of the Bank... c’mon

10/ Now some might say “Wasn’t Calhoun AJ’s VP?”
Not in 1835 he wasn’t. Then it was Van Buren.
“The Second Bank of the US” (& indeed the 1st) are their own threads, but it merits a brief look
After all it was the predecessor to The Fed

11/ The 2nd Bank of the US (2BUS for short) was created/promoted by several figures
-James Madison
-Henry Clay
-Calhoun
-2BUS Presidences
Let’s start with the POTUS who started it
Why did Madison start 2BUS?
To finance war
War with whom?
The Brits of course. In 1812

13/ The War was extremely avoidable & pointless - at least from the British side
They repeatedly kidnapped/Shanhai’d our citizens & attacked us
While at war with Napoleon
Can you *imagine* just kidnapping a country’s citizens & *not* thinking it’d start a war?
Why?

14/ If you think the Royal Navy just REALLY wanted to beef up its personnel, I have a bunch of bridges to sell you
A simple quote sums that up, by GuttIe R0thschiId (*1753-1849*)
As always, playing longball
The US & its liberty has been a thorn in [their] side for centuries

15/ UK provokes war with IS
->
US ends up in massive debt
->
US thinks it needs a centraI bank
Madison was besties with Alexander Hamilton, British-territory-born father of *both* US CentraI Banks
More than that: he’s the father of National Debt
Plenty has been written on him

16/ Fast-Forward: as you may well know
President Jackson - for the first & only time - paid off our National Debt
Disaster for [them] & their efforts to create financial sIavery!
What could be done?
More war, of course. But that’s another story

17/ We need to find evidence that the UK had an interest in the US having a central bank & National Debt
Otherwise you just might buy the 1st attempted assassination was by a random madman against the only president to end our debt & close 2BUS
So we go back to the players:

18/ Henry Clay was Speaker of the House & Sec of State
In Congress, he was a major War Hawk, & led the call for a Declaration of War (which as shown above, the Brits were definitely seeking)
Then he was involved in the treaty process
Odd...
Wait, rebuild his family fortune

19/ What destroyed his fortune?
“The Panic of 1819”... caused by reckless inflation of 2BUS
Which he was a huge proponent of
Ok. Hindsight is 20/20, &...
Wait, he fought against AJ to *continue* 2BUS a decade later?
Man, he’s a glutton for punishment
Or...

20/ Frankly, Clay seems like a No Name / John Kerry sort of asshole
A War Hawk, then swooping in and “negotiating” the peace plan
& proclaiming their awesomeness
Andrew Jackson did not agree with his banking solutions

21/ Now I doubt I’ll find a document online saying “Clay was a British agent”. Some say his tariff plans were decidedly anti-British
Maybe he was a useful idiot
Regardless, he
-Had us enter the war
-Was involved in the “peace process” like John Kerry
-Wanted a Ntnl Bank & Debt

22/ On to John Calhoun
Everyone remembers him as the guy who loved sIavery
It’s well-deserved
His argument for why we should annex Texas was based on the fear that the Brits might take it to spread their abolitionist ideas
That’s one example

23/ In fact, he loved it so much
He helped start the Civil War despite dying 10 years before it
His last words were “The South, the poor South!”
What a bitch
All you need to know about Calhoun is summed up in the last 2 pics:
All men are not equal
&
personal liberty=bad

24/ Calhoun also - as Secretary of State - negotiated an agreement for British occupancy of what was the Oregon territory
Back to 2BUS: he not only helped create it, he tried to expand it with a giant “bonus” of pork
Read that Madison quote: “inexorably corrupted”

25/ As we proceed, the thing I consider is that these people likely aren’t [knowing] agents of British banking
but rather Useful Idiots being nudged a certain direction
or people with bad ideas that fit into [their] larger plan
Think AOC. Think she gets Rothschilds briefings?

26/ Because WAIT: what’s this?
The Oregon Treaty, involving British occupation, was with the HUDSON’S BAY CO
Why does that set off alarms?

Calhoun=Useful Idiot for HBC

27/ Read that thread. All of it.
The HBC was an ENGLISH ROYAL CHARTER
A corporation; the UK using commerce as a tool of War
& Calhoun as SecState negotiated their occupation of the land
while also working to skyrocket our national debt

28/ Calhoun had to be very stupid to not see what he was doing
So let me revise my above statement: people said AJ thought Calhoun was behind the assassination attempt
Maybe
But as a political rival? Hell no.
But look at it all from THIS angle:

But look at it all from THIS angle:
29/ Calhoun
-loved slavery & governance
-helped give a large chunk of land to the British Royal Charter company
-fought vehemently for a National Bank
-Fought to expand the bank & our National Debt
-Pushed us towards civil war
President AJ had a different plan:
-loved slavery & governance
-helped give a large chunk of land to the British Royal Charter company
-fought vehemently for a National Bank
-Fought to expand the bank & our National Debt
-Pushed us towards civil war
President AJ had a different plan:
30/ So maybe Calhoun did pull some Frank Underwoodian-style machinations
But not to eliminated a political rival
If he did, he’d be serving a higher power
By the way, you know who brokered the Oregon Treaty as a neutral 3rd Party?
Kaiser-Fucken-Wilhelm

31/ Yes the treaty was arbitrated by Kaiser Wilhelm I
Whose son married Queen Victoria’s daughter
A bit of a sidebar, but interesting nonetheless

32/ So let’s look at the President of 2BUS!
There were 3 (& 1 Acting); while I have no doubt they’d all be interesting, we’re looking into the Assassination Attempt on AJ, so we’ll focus on
Nicholas Biddle
2BUS President for all of AJ’s Presidency (which was 1829-1837, FYI)

33/ First thing to get out of the way: he looks like a bitch
Next: we don’t have to look far for British connections:
Biddle was James Monroe’s *Minister to the Royal Court*
So the guy who ran 2BUS while AJ was trying to destroy it
Had direct access to British Royalty
Next: we don’t have to look far for British connections:
Biddle was James Monroe’s *Minister to the Royal Court*

Had direct access to British Royalty

34/ Even as a lowly state Senator, Biddle’s “cause” was the re-chartering of a National Bank
I have to say, if that we’re my STATE Senator had that as their primary mission,
I’d wonder who the hell he was working for. Because it sure isn’t for the people of PA.

35/ Now pay close attention here: remember the Panic of 1819, which made Henry Clay lose his fortune?
Here’s a concise layout of how it happened
Gold & silver - none of that “fiat paper money” bullshit - was snatched up from small banks to pay Europeans
by the National Bank

36/ Funny side story: Biddle’s brother wrote metaphorical checks with his mouth that his ass couldn’t cash
He got into the equivalent of an Internet comment flame war with a journalist
assaulted the journalist while they were sick
Then got killed in a fair fight by the guy

37/ Now, you want to see the fucked-up precedent being set?
Politics for the next 200 years:
AJ hated the National Bank, saying it corrupts our government
Biddle poured thousands of dollars in THE BANK’S MONEY into a campaign to defeat AJ
Are you fucking kidding me?

38/ Remember where our assassin was before the attack?
Philly, where “unnamed persons” prevented him from traveling to Europe
What state did Biddle represent?
PA, born in, lived in, & died in Philly
Graduate of UPenn
I wonder if Biddle knew powerful &/or sketchy people there

39/ Oh, & he DELIBERATELY caused a recession to fuck with Jackson...
Where have we seen that move before?
His BS caused another Panic in 1837, & then he was arrested for Fraud

40/ So we have Biddle
-deployed to the Royal Court
-lived where the would-be assassin was before the attack
-threw the Bank’s money into defeating AJ
-caused the Panics of 1819 & 1837
-
deliberately caused a recession in 1833
-Was arrested for Fraud
