1)Why do you ignore the First and Second Banks of the United States (1791-1811 and 1816-1836), the former of which was signed into law by President George Washington?
2)Where do you stand on HaShem and the Torah?
I don’t where you come from in the discussion/dispute as to Europeans banks and bankers in USA history but I will respond to your questions with writers privilege. 1) I don’t ignore the first years that the colonies and Founders put their Nation, the new USA, in the web of European banks/bankers. I believe this was in periods when commerce and means of commerce were being established and the Founders knew where the money was. I go to the next period of our history when POTUSA Jackson refused to allow further subjugation of USA financial interests i.e. banks and money. A next big event was the Wilson created European USA Federal Reserve and how European banking interests further entrenched their power into USA financial and business interests. 2) My father was a Russian Jew. However, my mother’s family was German-Russian and after my father’s death, before I was born, the heritage turned towards my mother’s family. We were always very close to the Jewish people in town and my mother often visited the Rabbi and his wife who gave us comfort in the years of the depression. I know little if anything about the Torah or HaShem. I don’t think either of these would influence my opinions about banks and bankers especially the influence European bankers had and have on the citizens of the USA.
