I think Kennedy’s Red Seals qualify him for not going along with the bankers.

But an interesting thing in relation to these: I’ve actually have had people claim they were a myth, just another form of Federal Reserve Note, and not a direct issue of the Treasury. If it weren’t for the fact that I have several in my collection I might even be deceived by them but they most definitely identify themselves as United States Notes, not Federal Reserve Notes.

“Regan”. You mean Ronald Reagan, Dutchman? Reagan was a bankster’s tool.

The last president who made a stand against our financial oligarchs AND against the Pork Barrel, was Jimmy Carter.

Yes, Carter. The inflation of the 70s was rampant, thanks to the oil shocks, and most of all, our departure from the gold standard under Nixon. Carter appointed Paul Volcker to chair the Federal Reserve, and Volcker immediately set about raising the interest rates, which he did rapidly and steeply. I remember the rapid raise pretty much killed the housing bubble that formed between 1978 and 1982. Most people don’t remember it because it was short- lived, but it priced ME out of the place I wanted very rapidly.

Carter also attempted to limit domestic spending, but you throw a wrench in Pork Barrel politics at your peril. He had the temerity to try to ax 18 unnecessary, wasteful, flagrantly uneconomical water projects, infuriating congress-critters from the affected states. A lot of people think this is the real reason he lost the election in 1980, not his admittedly inept handling of the Iran hostage situation.

“Regan”

You mean the little girl in “The Exorcist”? I don’t think she was ever president.

Calvin Coolidge was probably the last to cling to the Constitution as Law. Pretty futile though, even Washington started out as the first president who tried his damndest, with urging from Hamilton, to pick up his quill and his phone.

The answer is Andrew Jackson.He actually shutdown the central bank.
Kennedy did not create the Silver certificate via EO 11110

Silver certificates were issued between 1878 and 1964 in the United States as part of its circulation of paper currency.[12] They were produced in response to silver agitation by citizens who were angered by the Fourth Coinage Act, which had effectively placed the United States on a gold standard.[13] The certificates were initially redeemable for their face value of silver dollar coins and later (for one year – 24 June 1967 to 24 June 1968) in raw silver bullion.[12] Since 1968 they have been redeemable only in Federal Reserve Notes and are thus obsolete, but still valid legal tender.[12]

Large-size silver certificates (1878 to 1923)[nb 2] were issued initially in denominations from $10 to $1,000 (in 1878 and 1880)[15][16] and in 1886 the $1, $2, and $5 were authorized.[16][17] In 1928, all United States bank notes were re-designed and the size reduced.[18] The small-size silver certificate (1928–1964) was only issued in denominations of $1, $5, and $10.[19] The complete type set below is part of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Silver Certificates

The Bureau of Engraving & Printing assembled this display with die proofs of silver certificates from the 1891, 1896, and 1899 series. In accordance with an Act of Congress dated Feb. 28, 1878, the Department of the Treasury issued to the public, silver certificates, which could be exchanged for silver dollars. On May 25, 1964, the Secretary of the Treasury announced that silver certificates could no longer be redeemed for silver dollars. Subsequently, another Act of Congress dated June 24, 1967, provided that the certificates could be exchanged for silver bullion for a period of one year, until June 24, 1968. Those certificates, which remain outstanding, are still legal tender and can be spent just like a federal reserve note.

@Chicago999444 Carter was the last honest Christian POTUS this nation will likely see.But like Paul he didn’t have the fire to fight the fire which Is why he was a one term president.

“Gentlemen! I too have been a close observer of the doings of the Bank of the United States. I have had men watching you for a long time, and am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves. I have determined to rout you out, and by the Eternal, (bringing his fist down on the table) I will rout you out!”

Andrew Jackson.

Calvin Coolidge – He did not interfere with the 1920 recession. Also, cut the government by 50% because of it. It was over in 18 months.

The friendliness and charity of our countrymen can always be relied upon to relieve their fellow citizens in misfortune. This has been repeatedly and quite lately demonstrated. Federal aid in such cases encourages the expectation of paternal care on the part of the Government and weakens the sturdiness of our national character, while it prevents the indulgence among our people of that kindly sentiment and conduct which strengthens the bonds of a common brotherhood.

Grover Cleveland

The laws should be rigidly enforced which prohibit the immigration of a servile class to compete with American labor, with no intention of acquiring citizenship, and bringing with them and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization.

Grover Cleveland

Honor lies in honest toil.

Grover Cleveland

Officeholders are the agents of the people, not their masters.

Patriotism is no substitute for a sound currency.

“Calvin Coolidge – He did not interfere with the 1920 recession. Also, cut the government by 50% because of it. It was over in 18 months.”

No, that was Harding.

“Instead of bailing out failing businesses, expanding government, and redistributing taxpayer money with a “stimulus” plan, Harding responded by cutting spending and removing burdensome regulations and taxes. During his campaign, he argued, “We need vastly more freedom than we do regulation.” In stark contrast with the Bush-Obama response of ever-more government spending and debt, Harding had federal spending cut in half between 1920 and 1922 and ultimately ran a surplus.”

From an RCP article, “Obama Should Channel Harding, Not FDR”, by Matt Kibbe, 2/3/09.

Dutchman,

We went from the world’s largest creditor nation to the world’s largest debtor nation under Reagan.

That’s the opposite of opposing bankers, IMO.

“Kennedy did not create the Silver certificate via EO 11110”

Silver certificates are not in question, debt free United States Notes issued by the Treasury -money not borrowed from bankers- are.

People don’t seem to understand this for some reason, they did not have to be paid back in silver (or gold) along with interest to a bank they were borrowed from.

FWIW, it didn’t work out well for him and after he left office the practice ended rather quickly.

A. Jackson,

From all that I’ve read, he was against the private banking interests, many of the power elite hated him. I want to say he had a kegger at the WH after he won the election, he had a great deal of support from teh gen pop. The national debt actually went into the black while he was prez but he also had a mega-ego, was tough as nails (survived an assasination attempt) but also hurt a lot of innocent people and forced through what he thought was best. less than 20 years later the nation was at war

any of those characteristics sound familiar…?

just saying, if trump is prez i’d expect an attempt on his life.

Andy Jackson went up against the banksters and lived. So he was the last one who was successful. But JFK went for it and died. He didn’t stop the banksters, but gave it his all.

Jimmy Carter? I wouldn’t piss on that turd, it ain’t worth the effort. I was a young man in my early twenties when that asshole was in office, and I remember it all very well.

carter gets my vote in recent history. if you sole measure is growth of government and the amount of unconsitutional action he took. Im not saying best ever, by no means, I just think he was the last one who actually stayed within his actual constitutional authorities while in office. Look what it got him, though.

Here’s a tip. If you look at who historians rate as great presidents, and who they say were bad, you will see many of the names you guys have mentioned in the “bad column”. Funny how that works. Good for the people but bad for the deep state means historians don’t like you and school children don’t learn about you. Look at who both parties revere: on the left, you have FDR, Wilson and LBJ. On the right you have lincoln and reagan. All 5 of those did more to destroy this country than all the rest put together.(you could argue that reagan wasn’t really that bad, and Ill grant you that he’s not really in the same league as the other ones, but he did grow every single aspect of government and triple the national debt, added more as a % of GDP than any other president. Not good).

John Tyler was another decent one, and hardly anyone knows he existed. I am VERY distantly related to him on my mothers side, so I read about him when I was young, but he is not mentioned in history books. No new, wasteful war, and no bloated new set of social programs means you become a ghost.

I heard a radio interview with an ex-satanist who talked about this issue. Unlike most of those types of interviews, this guy didn’t seem completely full of shit. He said:

Carter was non-establishment and wasn’t supposed to win. He also was a generally good man and a naive dupe. As a result, the forces of evil aligned against him. The Federal Reserve manipulated interest rates and the international community stonewalled the oil supply and refused to cooperate with the Iranian hostage situation. Carter was out in 4 years.

Reagan was also non-establishment, but he was neutered by age, forced to accept GHW Bush as VP, and also shot once. He fell in line and thus was given his 8 years.

Kennedy was establishment, but started to go rogue. We’ll never really know the whole story there.

Makes you wonder if Trump somehow manages to get in, the forces of evil may just implode his presidency from every angle.

Gator, you are absolutely right about looking at who history reveres and then realizing the opposite is true. One of the reasons I know Lincoln was the worst president is because his name and ugly mugshot are plastered all over this country and all over our currency. Public skool also makes you memorize his retarded Gettysburg Address which is actually just a renewal call for Slobodan Milosevich style genocide against half of his people. Tells you all you need to know about the man.

History also says that Hoover started the Great Depression and that FDR pulled the country out of it. Using your method we can see that the exact opposite is true.
