A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE BANK

Hamilton’s original "First Bank of the U.S." was supposed to be the Central Bank of the United States from the beginning, to unite us under a single currency, backed by a single federal government, to promote the General Welfare of all people. The Constitution is clearly written to emphasize these specifications. 

Immediately, there were amendments to this Constitution, however; compromises needed for wealthy slaveowners to sign onto this notion of a ‘united states.’ While the federalists' reaction was to abandon the traditions of religious oppression - which had spread from the cradles of civilization to poison every continent for 5,000 years - other self-proclaimed "anti-federalists" reacted the opposite way. Many of them were not firstborn, so were shut off from the perks of property ownership while they remained in Europe; when this “second (born) class” traveled across the Atlantic, they sought a different agenda: to live the poisonous dream that was withheld from them on the European continent. 

​

This represents the "communication paradox:" because life is built upon layer after layer of genetic communication, all present "actions" are simply "reactions" to a prevailing environment formed in the past - this sticky foundation of "tradition." As long as we utilize a "reactionary" strategy, people will either continue to embrace their oppression (adapt to the environment), flee it (where it will inevitably follow them), or react against the oppression and consequently become the next generation of oppressors. 

To win the war for independence from Britain, the federalists believed we must be a "United" States, with a Central Government and a unified currency, to convey legitimacy to the outside world. To accomplish this, they were forced to form an alliance with the slave-owning colonies, perhaps believing they could reconcile their differences after the war for independence was over. 

The federalists believed that the Preamble, which laid the groundwork to secure the general welfare, liberty, and equal protection of all people, was an adequate guideline for establishing this new nation. To sign onto any such agreement, the slave states demanded an additional "Bill of Rights" that ensured state’s rights, religious rights, gun rights, and property rights - the main tools perpetuating the 5,000-year tradition of oppression. They also secured a "three-fifths compromise" - written directly into the Constitution - which allowed slaveowners to count their slaves as 3/5 of a person, to secure more "voting power."  Later, when slave states got control of the Money Powers, they were able to make the transition from individual slavery to wage slavery and tie “freedom of speech” to money, which Constitutionally legitimized the use of money to secure continued inequality in voting power.

The lesson for a new generation is that whether one fights or flees the oppression, the result is the same. America was founded by people who tried to flee oppression as well as fight it; we've even had to fight with ourselves over it, during our Civil War, yet the division between us remains. There is a third option: to proactively choose our path forward. This will require the willingness to establish new roots, based on mutual connection, rather than continuing to build upon the predatory or parasitic roots laid by early religious oppressors. Our recommendation is to dig far enough down to our biological roots, to rediscover that our fundamental motivations are all the same; it is only our varied environments that have set us down divergent paths, and this disconnection that has led us toward conflicting agendas.
