How Alexander Hamilton the Federalist Centralized Power in the American Government and Helped Bring About the Nation's First Central Bank.

Alexander Hamilton the Federalist and Founding Father is the key figure behind our American central government as we have come know it today.

Hamilton and his recruited stooges James Madison and John Jay wrote several essays arguing for a strong, centralized governmental authority which are commonly collected as “The Federalist Papers.”

In a swift PR move that would make even the most modern politician envious, he took the high ground with the name “federalist,” forcing those who opposed to become the negative “anti-federalists.”

Patrick Henry and Samuel Adams, amongst others who opposed Hamilton's views, were unable to unite and counter Hamilton's coordinated attacks in time to prevent the Constitution's ratification in its flawed state.

Those flaws, which Alexander Hamilton the Federalist and his friends had managed to embed into the Constitution, remained intact upon its ratification by the States.

The largest and most useful of those loopholes was in Article 3, the so-called “elastic government” clause which allows for giant oversteps of constitutional authority by the federal government.

Indeed, this loophole was the first to be exploited immediately upon the establishment of the nation's first federal government under the Constitution.

Hamilton quickly moved to use it (along with the perceived “war debt crisis”) to convince Congress to pass the charter for the First Bank of the United States—the nation's first central bank.

Then, Hamilton managed to convince President Washington to sign it, capitalizing on Washington's momentary disillusionment with Thomas Jefferson (Hamilton's chief rival in the cabinet) over matters of foreign policy.

CREATING HAMILTON THE USURPER

Likely in the employ of agents who were also controlling the Bank of England, Hamilton worked diligently to ensure that the new American government would eventually bow to the will of the International Bankers. At that time, the apparent controller of those banking interests was Amschel Mayer Rothschild.

In fact, it was Rothschild who had used his contacts and business interests in Germany to provide Hessian soldiers to the British military during the revolution in America. Upon the surprise loss of the British Empire, however, an agent was needed to secure the bankers' interests in the New World and Rothschild's agents quickly went to work finding one.

Several candidates were likely found in the men, most of whom were not fighters in the Revolutionary cause ten years after the fact, when the Constitutional Congress was formed. Others, disillusioned by the apparent weakness and near uselessness of the Confederated States (such as Alexander Hamilton the Federalist was), were also there.

It is likely that these men were easily swayed by promises of wealth, or, as is apparent in Hamilton's case, by appealing to their mistrust of the “common rabble.” The obvious need for a more powerful national government was icing on the cake.

THE FEDERALISTS WIN THEIR WAY

Not all Federalists, of course, were out to ruin the new nation and its newfound liberties. Obviously, there were many who still believed that freedom could be kept and liberty could be secured while still having a strong, central government. Madison was likely one of these men, explaining his actions and words during this time.

In fact, Rothschild may have pulled off the whole coup with little more than two or three agents inserted into the Convention. Given the power of persuasion that some of those men, including Hamilton, held, it is likely that this was the case and that most of those who supported the Federalist case did so with good intentions.

Other factors, such as the refusal of patriots like Patrick Henry to attend the Convention (he stated that he “smelt a rat,” indicating that he knew something or was prescient) also helped to undermine the forming of the new Union. Henry's later attempts to convince Virginia to refuse to ratify were unfruitful, since Washington had been convinced and quietly backed the new Constitution.

Henry and Jefferson, among other freedom lovers, did manage to put a large wrench in the works by attaching the Bill of Rights to the Constitution, getting 10 out of their 12 proposed amendments ratified and inserted. However, this failed to stop the juggernaut of central banking.

HAMILTON'S CURSE LIVES ON

As stated, immediately after the new government began, Hamilton managed to get the nation's first central bank established. With relatively weak power (holding only about 20% of the economy) and a time-limited charter, the bank was nevertheless a precedent towards future centralized banking.

That proved true when, just a few months after the ending of the First Bank of the United States, the Second Bank was established—this one with broader powers, but still limited in comparison to it's progeny: today's Federal Reserve monstrosity.

So today, with all of the dancing puppets we call “politicians” who pretend to work for the “will of the People” while readily taking orders from the shadow government (bankers), continue the Alexander Hamilton the Federalist Curse that is central banking and the enslavement of the People by usury and endless debt.
