BEWARE POLITICAL MESSIAHS

       At the appropriately-named Gay-Lord National Convention Center, the 2025 CPAC concluded this weekend. This year's performance managed to outdo even last year's in its blatant appeals to Reactionary Extremism. Acting President Elon Musk appeared again in a black uniform waving around an oversized chainsaw---probably a prop borrowed from a Hollywood horror movie---in front of Argentine strongman and fellow WEF member, Javier Milei. Musk alluded to the chainsaw approach as a metaphor for his ongoing purges of the Executive Branch of Government. 

     Like incipient dictatorships typically do, Musk's first order of business was to purge and control security forces and eliminate any third-party oversight. He's currently working on purging the Military, ahead of a White House proposal to construct Concentration Camps at military bases. Jack Posobiec, a Deep-State spook who headlined last year's Convention and called then for the destruction of Democracy applauded the progress that Musk has made to that end, stating that “Donald Trump is the living embodiment of the American Constitution... Trump’s election victory is a mandate that the American people put on his head. And as President Trump said just a few days ago, ‘A man who saves his nation violates no law.’”

    Meanwhile, Neo-Nazi podcaster Shane Trejo sported signs portraying Trump as Julius Caesar and is actively lobbying for a Third Term for Trump to act as Silicon Valley's sock-puppet. "Trump needs another term to fight against the forces of evil," Trejo proclaimed. "We believe that Trump is the Caesar figure that America has needed. Trump is the Napoleonic figure that’s emerged to lead our country out of perdition and into greatness." The aforementioned Javier Milei opined that: "We are at a turning point in history in which the spirit and the idea materialize in a person."

     Steve Bannon, too, added to the general consensus:

    Bannon went even further than the others with the Trump-as-Messiah Narrative, blasphemously asserting that Trump is "an instrument of Divine Providence" and that his opponents were "demonic enemies." Presumably, by extension, characters appointed by Trump such as Vance, Musk, Bessant, Lutnick, Patel, Burgum, etc. are also agents of Divine Providence, but the speechwriters discreetly left out that logical conclusion from the statement. 

     The Authoritarian overtones emanating from the New Right are dangerous enough. It's hard to believe that once upon a time, Thomas Jefferson declined a Presidential Parade on the grounds that it sent a bad message, imitating the Royal Processions of European Monarchs. Andrew Jackson once turned down a gift from Italy of a Roman sarcophagus, stating that it would set a bad example for an American President to identify with a Roman Caesar. This last week alone, Trump has embraced both images of King and Caesar.

    What is more troubling---as if anything more troubling was possible at this point---is the increasing tendency on the part of many to weave Divine Selection into this narrative. We've pointed out here before the dangerous sorts of cultists involved in high-level decision-making.  

    It's past time that some of what's left of American spiritual leadership started addressing some of this. It's an obvious threat to Civilization to have a major power under the influence of people who believe that the Leadership has a Divine Mandate and sees everyone else as demonic enemies. That so many have bought into this delusion is a sign of significant failure of our spiritual leadership by itself. 

   The idea of any earthly leader fulfilling messianic prophecy runs contrary to the foundational Christian belief that Jesus Christ alone is the Messiah, the fulfillment of all prophecy and the ultimate hope of humanity. To see a US President as a divinely-anointed savior figure conflates his role as a political leader with spiritual authority. Therefore, it is essentially a godless ideology no better, really, than Monarchism, Communism, or any other movement which deifies leader or party above other men to the level of God. God, being Absolute, is the Standard of the Ideal to which we all aspire. A man or a group of men who take that ideal and appropriate it to themselves by extension set their own arbitrary will as the standard. Thus, we must reject any attempt by human agencies to assume such powers unto themselves. Those who assume such powers are not Divine, but tyrants of the worst sort. 

    

    

PORTRAIT OF A THINK-TANK

     Since the beginning of this site, one of our main emphases has been the fact that ideological fanatics and international crooks form the greatest threat to Western Civilization and the freedoms and standards we've won over several millennia. Fanning paranoia over a relatively routine influenza outbreak and inciting cross-country riots has enabled these criminals to take control of entire states and to threaten the very seat of national power. 

      In our last article, we had occasion to mention another of the shady organizations driving this Insurrection: the Berggruen Institute. We've exposed similar groups like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the slimy gangs behind Black Lives Matter. As a rule, Conservatives don't realize the power these kinds of groups wield on the Left. Our think tanks operate much differently. Conservative policy institutes typically take donations from individuals and use the money to promote candidates who reflect our ideals. These Leftist think-tanks are bankrolled by vested financial interests and staffed by politically influential people. Their goal is universally to assist Corporate looters and political despots to facilitate their monopolization of power and profit. 

    The Berggruen Institute was founded in 2010 by billionaire Nicolas Berggruen, a German national who made a fortune on Wall Street through his trust corporation, Bergguen Holdings. This company has massive real estate contracts both here and in Europe. They control 31 trade schools---mostly focusing on training for jobs in Big Pharma. They also own Fusion Transport---one of the largest trucking companies in the US; as well as Transport Labor Holding Company, the largest American trucking and shipping facilitators. They own Sierra Air Conditioning, the largest air conditioning supplier in Nevada; the IMS Group, an international furniture manufacturer; Phenomenon Consulting, which works with Hollywood; and Global Supply Chain Finance, an international accounting firm. In India, they practically control the car-rental and taxi services nationwide; as well as the largest construction equipment rental service. In Turkey, they own 24 mineral mines. This is fairly typical of the financial cartels backing Leftist interests in the US. 

     Nicolas Berggruen himself is a real weirdo. Despite being a real-estate mogul, he prefers to rent condos in various cities where he conducts business. He never married; instead he paid a sperm-bank and two surrogate mothers to give him two kids and is a single father. Berggruen is widely suspected in Europe of being both a homosexual and a drug addict. He was a major donor to Barack Obama and to Chuck Schumer while on Wall Street. 

    The Berggruen Institute's policy statement is as follows: "We live in a time of great transformations. From Capitalism to Democracy to the Global Order, our institutions are faltering. The very meaning of the human is fragmenting. The Bergguen Institute was established in 2010 to give foundational ideas about how to reshape political and social institutions in the face of these great transformations. We work across cultures, disciplines, and political boundaries, engaging our great thinkers to develop and promote long-term answers to the most challenging questions of the 21st Century."

   Some of these great thinkers sit on Berggruen's Board of Directors. Of its 17 members, 8 are active CEOs of financial trusts, 3 are former heads-of-state, and 2 are university bureaucrats. Media figures Arianna Huffington and Geoffrey Cowan sit on the Board; as does WHO bureaucrat Ray Chambers. The Chairman of the Board is former Pakistani Prime Minister and former CitiBank official, Shaukat Aziz. Aziz is widely hated in his home country; mostly for opening the Pakistani economy to global cartels at the expense of domestic industry. He was also suspected---not without good reason---of being a tool of US interests. One historian stated that "By the 1990s, Aziz had established many notable contacts within the United States administration... Aziz had substantial access to the US Treasury, World Bank, and many other world financial institutions. Aziz worked closely with the United States in order to finance U.S. war games and operations. Aziz knew the volumes of secretive methods of transferring funds in and out of South Asia, particularly clandestine financing of nuclear weapons programs." I'll bet that guy has a lot of "long-term answers to the most challenging questions of the 21st Century." 

   Berggruen is divided into two subsections, its 'philosophic and cultural' arm which awards a million-dollar annual prize to "honor a living thinker whose ideas are of basic importance for contemporary life". Last year, the prize went to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. This branch also runs a deal with Jeff Bezos for exclusive member op-eds in The Washington Post. The Cultural and Philosophic Division is led by MSM gadfly, Nathan Gardels. Gardels is a long-standing member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a Media Fellow at the WEF (Davos). During the 1980s, Gardels lived in the Soviet Union, allegedly doing 'research'. 

   Much more of a social menace is the Berggruen Governance Center, the other division. This group is headed by Berggruen himself and is subdivided into five sections working with various projects:

   1. The Future of Capitalism

   2. The Future of Democracy

   3. Geopolitics and Globalization

   4. The Berggruen China Center

   5. The Transformation of the Human

    The Future of Capitalism projects are overseen by Yakov Feygin, In May, he published an article which illustrates his ignorance of Economics more than anything else. Basically, he argued that the International Monetary Fund should take over much of the duties of the Federal Reserve Board to lessen the US Dollar's international economic power. The reason why this should happen? Well, because the Dollar represents classism. Feygin's stated goal at the Institute is establish a global currency.

   The Future of Democracy projects are led by Dawn Nakagawa, a career political activist. There are three projects they are working on. One is designing a strategy for creating social cohesion. This is chaired by a British Lord named Anthony Giddens---a former advisor to Tony Blair. Giddens is a radical sociology professor, a climate-change crank, and the author of several books pontificating upon how he believes society should be run. Most of his writings are gobbledygook and psychobabble, but his basic belief is that the Elites have an obligation to reorganize society through 'innovative means'---and basically dupe the public into thinking that it's all for their own good. 

   Concurrent with that project is a proposed reform of Social Media. The mission statement is self-explanatory: "How can we change the incentives for platforms in order to dampen its negative effects and heal the divisions? How can we harness technology to create a new democratic culture?" This project is chaired by Neocon author and anti-Trump ideologue, Francis Fukuyama. Fukuyama recently said in an interview that Joe Biden was "the right man for the job" of US President. 

   The aforementioned Nathan Gardels and former Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti co-chair a project with the ominous-sounding title of Redesigning Democratic Institutions. Monti is a consultant to the EU, a member of the Bilderberg Group and the Trilateral Commission. He's also worked as an International Consultant to Goldman-Sachs and the European Investment Bank. A British Baron, a neocon pundit, and a Euro-Elitist: this is the band of folks who are going to reform Democracy...

    The Institute's third focus group on Geopolitics and Globalization is probably the most dangerous of them all. This group is also known as The 21st Century Council has been set up to become a sort of shadow-version of the G20. Nicole Grunwald Silver---a vicious feminist who previously worked for the Clinton Foundation---is the Project Manager for this gang. An example of their clout can be read in a published demand to the G-20 for implementation of their COVID Scam policies. Note the members listed in this article.

  The Council's Mission Statement explains: "The G-20 has emerged at the formal governmental level as an embryonic institution of global governance that reflects the radical shifts underway in geopolitics. At the informal level, however, no such non-state organization that reflects these new realities has yet been established that can forge a global network of personal relationships, seek to influence policy decisions and help shape public opinion through moral suasion and the voice of reason and experience. To some extent, groups like the Bilderberg Conference or the Trilateral Commission did this for an earlier era, but are now outdated."

   For those who want to sneer about 'conspiracy theories' can there be any clearer statement of Berggruen's goals and intentions than this? As if to underscore the point, the founders of this abominable society don't even disguise how they intend to implement their programs: "What should distinguish this group from others like the InterAction Council, The Elders, the Club of Madrid or the Trilateral Commission would not only be that it seeks the participation of key Chinese figures of influence. Rather than address a host of ills as single issues, this group would address the relevant concerns in an integrative way that focuses on the structures of good governance. The group will also have an action-orientation. It will seek to accomplish what it proposes." {nota bene}

   This is representative of the New Breed of Think-Tank: one that doesn't stop at whispering in leaders' ears to give them inside information for temporary unfair advantages. These guys are out to impose their wills whatever the cost. 

   And it should be noted that---despite all of their pretenses about 'social justice'---no American ever elected these nitwits to do anything whatsoever on our behalf. Where does this Kraut Berggruen get off pushing his way into our country and throwing his weight around? Who's ever heard of him outside of Wall Street and the Deep State? Just like his comrade Soros, this would-be Kaiser needs to be bundled up with his foreign friends by ICE and shipped back overseas as Undesirable Aliens. 

  As if all of this weren't bad enough, the Berggruen China Center is a more recent collaboration between the Institute and the Communist Party of China. "The program brings together Chinese philosophers, scientists in artificial intelligence, robotics and life sciences, legal scholars as well as science fiction writers and artists to explore ways frontier technologies impact and reshape how we view humanity, the nature of life and examine their impact on human society and our relationships with machines and other beings." Yes! Yes! Because the Chinese have such a higher respect for Life, Liberty, & the Pursuit of Happiness than we Americans do! 

  This is the kind of thing that makes me believe that Berggruen is a drug addict. Nobody in their right mind could be this addled without chemicals.

  But Berggruen's Transformation of the Human projects are about the epitome of sick minds. The program is headed by a mad scientist from Canada named Tobias Rees.  "The Transformations of the Human program is designed as a philosophical study and artistic exploration of the manifold ways in which artificial intelligence and biotechnology challenge our established conceptions of what it means to be human. By placing philosophers and artists in key research sites to foster dialogue with technologists, the aim of the program is to render AI and Biotech visible as unusually potent experimental sites for reformulating our vocabulary for thinking about ourselves. The Transformations of the Human program ambition is to feed our findings back into the production of both artificial intelligence and biotech and to thereby contribute to both human and non-human flourishing."

    This mission statement doesn't even make sense, but that hasn't stopped the thugs in Silicon Valley from taking it and running with it. Rees is so utterly deluded that he actually writes that: "If we fail to embrace these differences today, and if we fail to recognize that radically new things are occurring, and fail to recognize the radically new as opportunities and responsibilities, we run the risk of leaving the definition of the world we live in to the conservative forces that stubbornly continue to try to frame our changing world in the terms of the old one. And that is a certain recipe for disaster." This is the language of a man who hates humanity. Rees is sort of a passive-aggressive version of the cinematic mad scientists who wanted to destroy the world. He doesn't want to destroy it, he wants to subordinate mankind to machinery.

    Only this time, it's for real. "When Covid-19 began to spread from bats to palm civets to pangolins to humans, we realized that we were witnessing a philosophical and poetic event," Rees rhapsodized in Art Forum Magazine last June, "A dramatic undoing, one in which humans are becoming undifferentiated from the microbial world we live in...To us, Covid-19 has been an opening––an invitation to rethink the human and technology in terms of the nonhuman. What new, alternative concept of the human, of nature, of technology would—could—emerge from Covid-19?

   "Most governments chose the opposite path: They seek to protect the human from nature; they shed not-self from self by closing their borders and by claiming that the virus comes from the bodies of foreigners—from the bodies of those who are 'too' close to nature, who live too close to animals, who are themselves more animal than human."

    What a sick man. In fact, the whole Berggruen Institute is a collection of sickos. Yet, if Constitutional Government is allowed to fall into the United States, these are whack-jobs that are going to be advising the New Order. If anybody doubts that, consider that they are the ones advising the Insurgents now. And it's not unheard-of that psychos like these haven't come to power before. 

     Just keep pretending that it can't happen here; and that's the best way to ensure that it will. Our enemies are determined not only to take our liberty, but our humanity as well. We've got to be just as determined to keep it. 

WHY CELEBRITIES FANTASIZE ABOUT MURDERING TRUMP

    There was an interesting, though disturbing, article written by Dan Gainor today about a growing trend among ghetto-trash culture music performers making lurid songs about assassinating President Trump. This has been a noteworthy tendency among various celebrities and pundits for some time. But the danger involved in all of this is, of course, that the Corporate Media hopes to incite some violent incident against the President.

    According to official numbers, public threats against President Trump are literally surpassing the authorities' abilities to contain them. Twitter and Facebook noted 12,000 public threats against Trump---a rate of almost 1,000 per day. Contrast this with Obama---who received an average of 30 per day; which itself was a 400% increase over threats against the Bush Administration.

     The US Secret Service typically doesn't publicize many of its cases involving threats against the President for the very reason that they fear inspiring copycat crimes. Now when these scummy celebrities fantasize and rhapsodize about possible assassination scenarios---copycats are what they are trying to generate. We only have to go back to 1981 with the failed attempt on President Reagan to understand that unstable people will try to impress celebrities with such deeds.

      Political assassinations in a democracy are almost always the handiwork of obsessed madmen. The 1952 attempt on President Truman was really the only case that had a clearly-defined political motivation. The first recorded attempt on a president occurred in 1837 against President Jackson, who escaped by a miracle. While greeting a crowd, a gunman brandishing two muzzle-loaded pistols fired point-blank at Jackson's heart and both weapons misfired. Jackson understandably led a thanksgiving prayer-service after the incident. The gunman was later judged insane and committed to a psychiatric prison.

       Social psychologists have long believed that assassinations in our culture are carried out or attempted by individuals of similar character to mass-shooters. Whereas the mass-shooter is typically lashing out at some group---or humanity in general---the assassin sees the President as a unique symbol. In both cases, the killers typically are projecting their own self-hatred onto a person or group which represents to them the goodness they lack within themselves. Such is the Sandy Hook Shooting where Lanza murdered an kindergarten class, or the Roseburg Shooting where Christians were singled out. Sometimes the killers lie to themselves and concoct a plausible revenge motive to justify their crimes; such as George Sodini, Eliot Roger and others like them who usually publish long manifestoes before carrying out their plans.

       Among presidential assassins, John Wilkes Booth is an example of the latter category. Booth was an arrogant and wealthy elitist theater performer---much like his kindred spirits in Hollywood today. And like them, he despised the common people as his inferiors and had a fanatical hatred for Blacks in particular. He admired the Southern Aristocracy and resented Lincoln---whom he saw as a plebian 'unfit to hold office' (does this sound familiar?). To summarize: Booth was an entitled elitist who feared his own inferiority. Lincoln represented to him the power of the common man, which Booth projected his own fears of not achieving greatness. The Civil War gave Booth the pretext, but the reality was he saw Lincoln as a threat to his own ego.

        Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, was an even more clear-cut case. President Garfield was a Civil War hero, a brilliant scholar, and a Christian leader with a model family. Guiteau was the exact opposite: a complete loser with delusions of grandeur. The Kennedy Assassination saw almost exactly the same parallels between Kennedy and Oswald.

        President McKinley was assassinated in 1901 by an Anarchist named Leon Czolgosz. Czolgosz was the son of Polish immigrants who became radicalized and renounced the Church during an economic recession in the 1890s in which Czolgosz was unemployed. He believed that an economic conspiracy was holding him and others down---he was chronically unemployed since his radicalization. McKinley however began life as the son of an ironworker (and not coincidentally Czolgosz originally worked in a steel-mill). McKinley came from pioneer stock, just as Czolgosz came from immigrant stock. Yet McKinley's rise to the highest office in the land stung the ego of the unbalanced Czolgosz. It's noteworthy that both turned to politics: McKinley in a constructive way, while Czolgosz went into revolutionist theories. McKinley was elected by popular consent; whereas Czolgosz' groups tried shooting their way into power.

        These historical profiles are important for understanding the motivations behind those who advocate violence against President Trump. What they imagine they see in President Trump is a living embodiment of what they can never be. Most of our current so-called Cultural Elites didn't attain their statuses by hard work and popular appeal as Trump did. Most got there by fraud and force and subconsciously they see Trump's earned achievements as testimony against their own despicable characters. What's more: Trump achieved this by going against the Elites' stated philosophies---which show them up as frauds even more. During the Obama years, the Elites hated Putin for the same reasons; and it's no accident that Trump's enemies are always trying to connect him with Russia.

        So bear the facts in mind when the media lashes out at Trump. They call Trump a dangerous threat who must be destroyed, when in reality they are consumed by their own evil. This is why the Left has gotten more violent over time and why these threats and violent outbursts will increase---not lessen---as Trump achieves more and more. The enemy that Trump's opponents are fighting is really within themselves; and they can't escape their own guilty consciences.

       What we must do under these circumstances is to understand their motivations. We're not talking here about disagreeing with the Administration over something like his China Policy or Immigration Reform. There's nothing political about what these celebrities are doing in encouraging violence against the President---it is sheer criminal motivation and nothing more.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TWENTY, PART II

    The Cultural Marxists who wish to efface Andrew Jackson from American history naturally revise that history to promote their agendas. One of the most pervasive myths they've circulated centers on the Indian Relocation of 1838. They've even given colorful names to this incident such as 'The Trail of Tears'. And they employ the usual rhetoric such as 'genocide' and 'a Winter death-march'. It never occurs to those hearing this propaganda that, if Jackson had really intended genocide, a more efficient method than marching people to death would have been employed.

     But no matter, their goal is to discredit American heroes, not focus on the truth. And it's time the truth came out about this, since we'll never hear it from today's Academic Establishment.

      The events leading up to Relocation were rooted in the War of Independence. The British government had forbidden Americans to settle west of the Appalachians to protect vested interests exploiting the resources there. During the War, Lord Cornwallis formulated a plan to incite an Indian uprising against the Patriots. The plan never materialized thanks largely to the energetic initiative of another now-forgotten Dead White Male---George Rogers Clark. Clark captured the entire territory between Appalachia and the Mississippi with a handful of soldiers and won it for America.

        The American government pursued a policy of peaceful co-existence with the Indians, especially in the Southeast One of the Northern tribes, the Shawnees, refused to recognize the new government and were a source of problems. But the 'Five Nations' in the south were semi-autonomous regions. They issued passports, trade treaties and had local governments. 

        The British coveted their lost territory and saw an opportunity to put Cornwallis' plan in motion. Before the War of 1812 began, they were in contact with the Shawnees who secretly built an alliance. The Five Nations betrayed the Americans; and in 1812, the West exploded into a mass Indian uprising.  The Indians not only betrayed the Americans, they were guilty of some of the most hideous atrocities against American nationals---equal in their barbarity to anything perpetrated by the Japanese in WW2. The River Raisin, Fort Mims, and other places no longer remembered were the scenes of these horrors. Two future presidents---William Henry Harrison and Andrew Jackson put the uprising down through some extraordinary efforts.

         The War of 1812 more than anything changed American attitudes towards the Indians; which before had been one of respect. Presidents Monroe and Adams restored the Five Nations, but public pressure was deeply against it. Clashes between settlers and Indians became more frequent and more violent; political leaders worried---not without reason---about the Indian homeland as a security threat. Jackson shared in that concern, but sought to do justice to the Indians. In 1835 a treaty between the US and the Five Nations stipulated that the Indians would cede the Southeast in exchange for a gift of land beyond the Mississippi. The Indians agreed, and the territory would be ceded by 1838. (As a side note, Jackson's fears of a 'security risk' came true: the Five Nations later joined the Confederacy in the Civil War).

         By 1838, 3/4 of the Indians had already moved. The Jackson Administration took the former territories by Right of Eminent Domain. General Winfield Scott was ordered to remove the remaining Indians to the new territory. Scott brought wagon trains with him. The only actual marching done on the Trail of Tears were Scott's soldiers. The Indians rode in wagons.

        Scott hoped to reach the Mississippi River before Winter, where our oppressive government had contracted steamships at taxpayer expense to ferry the Indians across. But in the Fall of 1838, an epidemic broke out. Scott was forced to set up camp and over-winter while Jackson rushed in medical supplies, provisions, and reinforcements. By Spring 1839, the plague subsided and Scott moved on to the Mississippi without further incident. One of the steamships conveying the Indians had a boiler explosion and sank---despite Scott's rescue efforts several lives were lost. But in the end, Scott was commended for his management of the mission, which was an extremely complicated one.

        So the vast majority of deaths in the infamous winter death march came from a plague and a riverboat disaster that claimed more than a few dead white males as well. There is not one authentic account or verifiable proof that Scott committed any atrocities whatsoever.

       What isn't in any doubt is that the Indian 'activists' of today follow the same patterns as their forefathers: living tax-free on free government land; sucking down every government handout available---then paying us back by selling out to our enemies, the Cultural Marxists, and complaining constantly about the raw deal they think they're getting. And the histories written and revised about them by Left-Wing Academia portrays the Indian about as realistically as this:

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TWENTY, PART I

    In their never-ending quests to destroy American cultural icons and distract Ameroboob attention from serious issues, the Cultural Marxists have decided to remove Andrew Jackson from the $20 bill. It might make more sense to talk about the devaluation of the dollar; considering that a $20 dollar bill in 2016 has the buying power of 83 cents in 1913, the year that Federal Reserve Notes were first issued.

    But most Americans are as ignorant of Economics as they are of History. The Academic Mafia has re-defined Jackson beyond anything resembling the truth. Jackson was a man who was orphaned at the age of 13 during the Revolutionary War; survived brutal treatment in a British POW camp; taught himself to read and write; became a prominent lawyer and community leader and captain of a local National Guard unit. His military skills soon elevated him to general. When the War of 1812 broke out, he commanded the US forces in the South. Afterwards he was elected a senator, and eventually the 7th President of the United States. Jackson retired from politics and spent his declining years actively engaged in supporting missionary activities and promoting religious causes both at home and abroad.

      Some anecdotes about Jackson illustrate his character. He married a woman named Rachael Robards, a devout and lovely woman who had been forced into an early marriage with a brutal thug. Jackson basically rescued her, in spite of the social stigma surrounding divorced women then. Jackson was never apologetic for it; defended her reputation boldly and she was introduced and accepted into the social circles in which he travelled.

       Another anecdote of note: during the War of 1812, the Indians had cut Jackson's supply lines and his troops were reduced to starvation rations. A mutiny was threatening and a soldier approached Jackson as representative of the discontented soldiers. Jackson took a pouch from his pocket, containing about a dozen acorns, and offered the soldier six of them. That, he said, was half of his own rations. The mutiny collapsed when the soldiers saw their commander shared in their plight.

       When Jackson was dying, a European general offered him a gift of an ancient Roman sarcophagus for his burial. Jackson politely declined, saying that it would set a bad example in America---where all men were equal---for an American leader to be eulogized like an Emperor.

White, Christian, Heterosexual, and Male----no wonder the Radical Left can't stand the sight of him.

     Among Jackson's now-forgotten services to the country were:

1. Fighting in the War of Independence;

2. Saving countless American settlers' lives by securing Southern forts in the War of 1812;

3. Saving New Orleans---on his own initiative and with a brilliant strategy---from a treacherous plot between British forces and American traitors to put control of the Mississippi into British hands;

4. Ending a corrupt electoral system based on personality cults and political connections and establishing a party system;

5. Breaking up a plan to monopolize the bank system; and also establishing the first Gold Standard (this is why he was put on the $20 bill in the first place);

6. Stopping the Supreme Court from legislating from the Bench (the boundaries he established held for nearly 140 years);

7. Breaking up a Secessionist plot and averting a civil war;

8. Aiding the War of Independence in Texas;

9. Building some the nation's first interstate road systems and canals.

   This is the truth about Andrew Jackson. A leader, soldier, writer, and husband who makes his effete detractors look like the jealous pygmies they are---standing in his shadow and throwing canards.

    Today's trendy, politically-correct Academics and their fake Think-Tanks only remember or teach about Andrew Jackson in connection with the so-called 'Trail of Tears' or Indian Relocation of 1838. This is one of the most distorted and egregious mythologies in American pop culture, and will be the subject of Part II.
