UN BASE CAMP IN MIDDLE OF AMERICA!!!!! MISSOURI



HIKER STUMBLES ACROSS UNITED NATIONS BASE CAMP HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AMERICA! 
----------> MISSOURI <----------

truther June 26, 2015                                                           


Imagine if you will: You’re hiking along one of your favorite trails, enjoying nature and time to yourself, and all of a sudden you come across a military base camp in the middle of nowhere, yet not too far away from roads, etc. in order to make shipments and maneuvers to and from said base camp quite easy and efficient.

Hiker Stumbles Across United Nations Base Camp Hidden In Plane Sight In The Middle Of America!


This was the case for one American citizen who recently contacted the online watchdog group Operation Jade Helm And Beyond with the following message:
This was an active nine hole golf course hidden by trees less than 600 feet from the JC (Jefferson City, Missouri) airport and they are building something. Idk what’s about to happen but that white tent is surrounded by Mercedes vans that have no licensing and UN stickers on them. I need to get this out because idk how much more is going on but people need to know.

When asked for follow up, the informant also stated:
…it’s kinda hidden and people will drive by never paying attention it’s there

Strange military bases have been popping up seemingly overnight in many places across the U.S. in the last couple of months, and many fear they are all related to what is supposed to be nothing more than a military exercise known as Operation Jade Helm 15, which many concerned Americans feel is going to be more than an ‘exercise.’
Gun grabbing and body snatching are rumored to be in the works for Patriots loyal to the Constitution yet not necessarily loyal to the Obama regime and their seemingly anti-Constitutional agenda.

Only time will tell if there is any truth to the Jade Helm ‘conspiracy’ as the mainstream media seems to call it, and we can only hope that our time has not run out.

Potential, rumored, asteroid strike

How JADE HELM 15 correlates with a potential, rumored, asteroid strike


https://www.intellihub.com/how-jade-helm-15-correlates-with-a-potential-rumored-asteroid-strike/

Potential ‘flight path’, strike window, revealed if said impact rumors true

  • NASA has denied claims and rumors of an impending asteroid strike
  • Conspiracy theorists say impact in September
  • Possible links to JADE HELM 15 military exercises
  • Russia monitoring the situation
  • FEMA and DHS gear up for major event
  • Former NASA warning now makes more sense
By Shepard Ambellas

The Rumors

(INTELLIHUB) —  Rumors on the Internet tell of an impending asteroid strike which has been said will take place in late September between the 22nd and 28th, striking somewhere near Puerto Rico in the Atlantic Ocean. Although the rumors really are just that — rumors, some are still concerned.

NASA’s response

In fact NASA was even forced to respond to the recent Internet claims and issued a statement saying:
“NASA knows of no asteroid or comet currently on a collision course with Earth, so the probability of a major collision is quite small.
“In fact, as best as we can tell, no large object is likely to strike the Earth any time in the next several hundred years.”

Do you trust your government?

I guess you have to ask yourself if the government would tell us if a strike from a massive asteroid was impending.

Some conspiracy theorists believe that governments-of-the-world are already aware of an impending strike which could quite possibly trigger an “ELE” (Extinction Level Event) and are currently concealing the information from the populace.
Interestingly enough and dovetailing with this we see that the Russians have been closely monitoring several objects over the past year or so which are headed toward earth. If the object deviate their trajectory enough, while passing through the gravity wells of other planets in our system, they could possibly strike earth in the future as reported by RT earlier this year.

RT/YouTube
However, sadly, whichever way you slice it, we are defiantly past due for an asteroid strike upon the earth.
Additionally I want to mention that one of my military connections, stationed in Hawaii, told me that the U.S. Government has shot down so many asteroids over the past few years that the planet would have already been impacted 10 times over without the technology. While I can not verify my source’s statements to be true, it’s worth noting here and now.
But even more shocking is the fact that NASA has recently teamed up with the National Nuclear Security Administration in effort to launch a massive nuclear asteroid defense/deflection campaign, which has now been publicly announced, as soon as possible.

Possible connection to JADE HELM 15

To boot it’s also important to point out that if you draw a line directly from the said asteroid impact zone near “Puerto Rico” directly through the center of the original JADE HELM states a potential flight path, impact swath emerges. While this is all just speculation at this time, let’s log this here and now as a possibility.

What has FEMA and DHS been preparing for?

We also have to ask ourselves what FEMA and the Department of Homeland Security have been gearing up for, purchasing millions of dollars worth of meals ready to eat, water, and supplies, along with billions of rounds of ammo for use domestically.

So why the strange NASA warning?

HOW TO SURVIVE THE CRASH OF AMERICA. FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - JUNE 25, 2015 - 4:10 PM

HOW TO SURVIVE THE CRASH OF AMERICA. FROM ERASMUS OF AMERICA - JUNE 25, 2015

   Image result for INVENTIONS TO SUPPORT SURVIVAL IN WILDERNESS, ETC.   Image result for WATER STILLS FOR SURVIVAL

     Leave it up to the Obama White House and the American economy is supposed to crash in September, 2015 with the collapse of the American dollar as it is anticipated that there will be little or no gold backing to American dollars when the audited figures are supposed to be released internationally. Pass my proposed Omni Law and fast and I think that we can head off the potential pending collapse of the American economy caused by the predicted pending collapse of the American dollar. Our Omni Law (full name "Omnibus Civil Rights Act For America" on our website) gives the American people the right of national referendum on laws and policies when submitted to them by ten trustees set up by the Omni Law. These ten trustees over the federal government will be named civil tribunes after the ancient civil tribune concept of constitutional government of ancient Rome that James Madison, "Father of the U.S. Constitution," and "Father of the U.S. Bill of Rights, endorsed as the smartest legal concept of ancient man to protect his legal rights from tyranny in government and force the government to be the servant instead of intended master of the people of the nation. The American people have lost effective control over the federal government and only passage of the proposed Omni Law is going to restore control over the federal government back to the American people. 

      I spent eleven calendar years in military academies which means that it is easy for me to assume responsibility for major national projects and see that they get carried out correctly and on time schedules. I studied under six of the most brilliant economists of America and Europe and know angles of economic science probably no other economist in America knows. Also, I got heavily involved with military intelligence activities and got access to many military intelligence documents in national economic secrets that economists generally do not get access to through university studies, etc. 

     Once the Omni Law is passed, I will be one of the ten legal trustees over Wash., D.C. and whenever necessary, I can under Omni Law authority propose national referendums on how to solve major economic problems of America. The other nine of the ten legal trustees created by the Omni Law can also propose national referendums on how to solve problems that America has now. If we make sense to you in our proposal for national referendum, you the American people vote for it. If you are not convinced that this is the right course for America, then you do not vote for it. You are the boss over government, not us. We act only by your authority and when you authorize us to set up policies and laws to govern America with. This breaks the Congressional gridlock in Wash., D.C. and correct laws and policies will be set up for America instead of compromised to death answers that are pathetic and not the realistic answers that America needs at this time. 

      Also, these ten legal trustees over presently very corrupt and irresponsible Congress, federal agencies, White House, etc. will study suggestions that you send in that you think should be put up to national referendum and if you make good sense in the eyes of the legal trustees, you may suddenly be surprised to see a national referendum listing you as the source of this proposal and the nation votes on your idea or proposal for America. We tap the brainpower of the American people which Congress is arrogant and does not want your ideas or suggestions for laws and policies, and the government has access to a lot more smart ideas than it had before. There will also be ideas that are not backed by common sense, practical engineering or economics, etc. and so not all proposals sent in will be voted upon nationally in national referendums. And with elections of these civil tribunes of America every four years, if any impress you that they are not smart and what you want to represent you in Wash., D.C., you vote in what replacement or replacements for that leader or those leaders who you want replaced. Now if the man or woman is doing a good job, you may want to vote them back in for a second term, but that is your decision, not that of the ten legal trustees over Wash., D.C. called the "Civil Tribunes" over America named after the ancient civil tribunes of ancient Rome. The civil tribunes kept the Roman people free, and honest government, prosperous nation, and this brought out the greatness in the Roman people making them the greatest race on earth for several centuries until they became corrupt and no longer possessed Roman virtue in their characters. Then Rome collapsed!

      If the Omni Law was already a passed constitutional amendment in America, I would propose immediately a way or two how to head off the pending collapse of the American economy of America many in Wash., D.C. privately predict will occur in September, 2015. You vote by national referendum if I made good sense to you or not and whether you want this law or policy set up so the American dollar and American economy does not collapse come September, 2015. 

     And a friend of mine with good national connections said that he understood that members of Congress could be bought off with secret, tax-free bribes of one million dollars from such as the Rothschilds, Rockefellers, and others of their secret world banking group. Many in Congress had been secretly paid off with illegal bribes like this that they did not report on their income tax returns and the money would be deposited abroad so they would not be caught accepting bribes from these big banking families. That is why Obama has never been seriously investigated nor removed from the White House even though secretly probably all members of Congress know that he was born abroad, not in America, and was never even made a legal American citizen. And they know that Obama can never legally be made President of America under the U.S. Constitution but that illegal bribe of one million dollars tax-free since never reported to the I.R.S. is so sweet to have to sell their souls to the devil for! 

     Only corrupt members of Congress would not want you the American people to have a legal way to clean out corruption and treason in Congress, etc. That is why they would not want to submit a bill with my proposed Omni Law to be voted upon by members of Congress and once passed by Congress, then submitted to the state legislatures for final ratification as a new constitutional amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And I say it should be added to the officially recognized U.S. Bill of Rights as it powerfully protects your legal rights under law from tyranny in government in Wash., D.C.

      I suggest that you push this report all over America. Living in a nation with a crashed national economy is no fun and a nightmare to live in! When the Weimar Republic of Germany crashed as a national economy after World War I, where previously maybe two to four German Marks could buy a German citizen a loaf of bread, things got so bad that later a wheelbarrow of German marks adding up to one half million German Marks or even one million to two million German Marks is what the price of a loaf of bread in Germany ended up as under hyperinflation hitting Germany due to the collapsed national economy with the German Mark now worth so incredibly little in purchasing power. After going through hyperinflation, Germany was ready for Hitler who said that he would restore soundness and prosperity to the German economy. They figured "What did they have to lose?!!" And wildly once German intelligence located this answer and reported it to Hitler and his associates, they found this answer originally suggested by Bernard Baruch to boom the American economy and stop serious inflation in America. The Americans were too busy with partying after World War I and so never heard what Bernard Baruch told them. The German Nazi leaders listened and suddenly had a total cap on national inflation and the fastest growing economy in the world which made Hitler very popular with the German people then!

      Now if you the American people do not want to pass the Omni Law and stop the American economy from predicted soon national collapse according to a number of sources inside the government of Wash., D.C. and financial newsletters elsewhere, then as a backup to potentially saving your life in a collapsed national economy and protecting your family from starvation and living in a world of no electricity, no running water, no food available, etc., these survival reports can help save your life and protect your family from living like the poorest family in a Third World country and in conditions like "hell on earth" to put up with.

     I had studied with an engineering school years ago and was very good at it. These reports are written so non-engineers can easily understand them but practical and show how to solve so many of the problems of personal and family survival you will face if the American economy shortly collapses as many "insiders" in government are already predicting for America and you personally. Most of these reports were written by me and proved popular with many people. A few of the reports were written by others and I bought reprint rights for several of these reports. These are basically cheap, practical, and not hard to make homemade systems to keep yourself and family alive and able to maintain some level of a civilized life with. As for Obama and Congress, they would just leave you to die if the American economy collapses, so better get these reports while available! I can only send them by email to you including a 242 page book which has beautiful pictures included in it. These are not available to be printed up on paper and sent by regular mail to you. We are offering these reports for free to you on certain conditions but only in electronic form to be sent through the internet to you.

As these reports will be sent out electronically as emails, people from other nations can receive these also if ordering by the same terms as Americans will.

      Yours For God And Country, Erasmus Of America (Pen Name for that American who has a large starting scientific, engineering, agricultural, economic, business, military, religious, historical, cultural library for our Camelot location once set up. Join our Camelot location once available and add to our large technical library if you also have quality reference books for it.

COMMENT DUE TO THE SHOOTING OF 9 BLACKS. If I were a judge and our legal system clearly identified who the murderer was of these 9 Blacks, I would not hesitate to order the execution of the murderer of these 9 Blacks in church as I do not tolerate cold-blooded murder of innocent people in church. If 9 Whites were murdered in church by some fanatical Black murderer, I would act the same way in legal judgment and seek a fast sentencing of death for this murderer who murdered without any moral justification or argument of self-defense. This young man if guilty as all current evidence seems to indicate would find me a harsh judge and seeking maximum punishment for him allowable under law. As Jesus said, we have the authority of Caesar representing the state as temporal authority to rule over temporal affairs of mankind and God rules through appointed authorities as the religious authority over religious affairs in the true religion and religious structure set up by God in human society. This young man is an utter insult to the honor and moral code of the original Confederate States of America and in no way represents what was called the Confederate Cause in America. I think the attack on the Confederate flag is a false front to blame it for what is contrary to its moral code of 1861-5.

      But for the record as what does not vindicate one side of an argument is often ignored by the side pretending more righteousness than it really possesses, we have the Truman Report to the U.S. CONGRESS IN 1866! He reported that many Blacks died the first year as ex-slaves in the South because they did not know how to support themselves and when winter came, they perished. The figure of Blacks died that first year when "liberated" by the Union Army was apparently around 500,000 to 600,000 died of famine and cold according to Southern records of the states that they lived in. The South was smashed and could help no one then including themselves. The Union Army and Wash., D.C. watched and did nothing as all these ex-slave Blacks died in that first year. I think this was the largest massacre of Blacks in world history the year Wash., D.C. came to "liberate" the Blacks in the South. A huge number was liberated into the hereafter, but not in this life.

     This flag issue is dangerous to America and all sides need to drop it. Under the arguments it raises in America, finally all values and belief systems are overthrown in America and we end up with a predictable Communist society in values and beliefs. And when the Soviet spy ring met with my father in I think 1950. he told the F.B.I. afterwards where they forced this meeting as they were after his industrial food process. They admitted that they controlled the Black civil rights movement in America and would use it to turn Wash., D.C. into a Communist government. Then once this happened, then they would kill all the Blacks in America as the Communists said that the Black race was an "inferior" race and you could not build a successful Communist society based upon an "inferior race." Karl Marx lived in America awhile and despised the Blacks in America. Probably Karl Marx made this mass genocide policy towards Blacks in America part of his secret instructions for the Communist movement that he founded worldwide. As I was writing this, the Obama Boys federal operatives turned on their erasing software trying to erase this part of the report. I have a witness who watched as they tried to erase part of this report. 

     A warning to the Blacks in America. Some in America who pretend to be your friends are your secret enemies and deadly monsters if you let them gain the power to destroy you in 
America. Years ago I used to have some good Black Christian friends in Wash., D.C. and their churches were fine Christian churches in Wash., D.C. Some of the best Christians I have seen have been Black and I will speak up for them when necessary! Many of them have not been cynical in attitude whereas some Whites are cynical in their version of Christianity and do not take the Bible, etc. seriously as Christians! They are too "intellectual" to take Christianity seriously!

Monty Hall Has Left The Building
by Tom Heneghan, International Intelligence Expert

UNITED States of America  -  It can now be reported that the euro-Greece negotiations have collapsed as the ECB (European Central Bank) and its creditors aka crooked Luxembourg banks still want to loot the pension funds of average Greek citizens to 'bail-out' the crooked derivative trading of German Nazi Deutsche Bank.

We can also divulge that the derivative debt ratio tied to the euro-Greek financial debacle has reached 25 trillion combined dollars and euros of worthless cross-collateralized derivatives that is infecting every crooked bank in the world with massive contagion.

Note:  There is NO liquidity because there is NO more cash!

P.S.  The euro clearing house for this financial algorithm-driven farce is both the Dutch bank ABN AMRO and U.S. Citibank that face total collapse before and even after June 30th.

Note:  Austrian banks also face total insolvency because they have written naked cross-collateralized derivatives tied to the Central Bank of Japan and simultaneously created a massive black hole in the U.S. Treasury.

Noriega asks for Panama's forgiveness


Noriega asks for Panama's forgiveness in jailhouse interview                 

General Manuel Noriega speaks on May 20, 1988 in Panama City (AFP Photo/Angel Murillo


PANAMA CITY (AP) — Former dictator Manuel Noriega broke a long silence to ask his compatriots on Wednesday to forgive actions by his military regime that culminated in the 1989 U.S. invasion.
Noriega began the brief jailhouse interview with local network Telemetro reading a handwritten statement in which he said his apology came after days of reflection with his family and members of the church.
He said he wasn't motivated by any personal interest but a sincere desire to bring closure to the military era, a dark chapter in Panama's history that left the country in ruin and hundreds dead.
"Before the altar of my conscience I've come to express myself in the spirit of forgiveness," Noriega said, his hand shaking but otherwise appearing in good health for his 81 years.
The onetime CIA informant hadn't spoken to a journalist since a 1996 interview with CNN's Larry King from a Miami federal prison, where following his capture by American troops he was sent for being a major conduit for Colombian cocaine traffickers.
After completing his sentence in the U.S., Noriega was extradited to France to serve time for money laundering. He returned to Panama in 2011 to complete a 60-year sentence for murder, corruption and embezzlement during the military's three-decade rule.
Referring to himself as the "last general of the military era," Noriega apologized to those "offended, affected, injured or humiliated" by his own actions or those of his superiors and subordinates during the regime that he began serving as a low-ranking officer in the 1960s.
He didn't comment on any specific abuses and refused to take the bait when pressed about whether his act of contrition involved clarifying the still murky circumstances that led to the disappearance and murder of two prominent opponents.
Saying he was "totally at peace" with himself, Noriega said he didn't want to distract from the "solemnity" of his statement.
Reaction among Panamanians was mixed.
Many on social media saw the apology as a surprising capitulation from the famously stubborn strongman, who lost his apparent interest and power to influence Panamanian politics years ago.
But others judged it as a sly move to pave the way for a presidential pardon or for him to finish his sentence under house arrest, something his lawyers have been seeking on medical grounds for years. Indeed, he prefaced his written statement with a brief protest against what he said were excessively long sentences imposed by Panamanian courts in absentia.
"The problem with Noriega is you can never distinguish between what's true or not," said R.M. Koster, an American novelist and biographer of Noriega who has lived in Panama for decades.

Outcry in defense of Alexander Hamilton

Treasury’s new $10 bill idea prompts outcry in defense of Alexander Hamilton

Criminal Federal Reserve corporation banksters decide to replace Hamilton's picture on their worthless fiat $10 promissory note

Treasury’s new $10 bill idea prompts outcry in defense of Alexander Hamilton

The Obama administration has a money problem.

More specifically, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew is under attack for announcing that the U.S. Treasury will change the $10 bill in order to add a woman’s portrait to the currency.
The scathing critiques from former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to the USA Today editorial board and leading historians have come after Lew’s decision to demote Alexander Hamilton, the nation’s first Treasury secretary, from his prominent position on the face of the $10 bill.
“I was appalled,” Bernanke said upon hearing the news.
Lew’s decision is “sad and shockingly misguided,” wrote Hamilton biographer Ron Chernow.
The Wall Street Journal even compared Lew to Aaron Burr, the vice president to Thomas Jefferson who killed Hamilton in a duel.
Former 'Treasury' officials are expressing their “disappointment” to the current administration directly as well.
“I expressed myself to 'Treasury' and publicly. I suspect others are doing the same,” said Tony Fratto, a former assistant secretary in the George W. Bush administration.
Not even a grassroots advocacy group that collected 600,000 names on a petition in favor of putting a woman on the $20 bill and removing former President Andrew Jackson from that note is happy with Lew’s decision. It is still pushing on its website for Lew to put a woman on the $20 bill rather than the $10 bill.
Inside the Treasury Department, there is some handwringing over the decision and the subsequent backlash, according to one source who has spoken to officials in the administration.
All of Lew’s critics have applauded the decision to put a woman on U.S. currency for the first time in over 100 years, but the chorus of voices is also virtually unanimous that Lew should change the $20 bill instead and remove Jackson, the nation’s seventh president, from that bill.
“A better solution is available: Replace Andrew Jackson, a man of many unattractive qualities and a poor president, on the twenty dollar bill,” Bernanke wrote Monday.
USA Today’s editorial board called Lew’s choice “the right idea but the wrong bill.”
“A plausible case can be made that [Hamilton] is the most important Founding Father, based on the incredible range of his accomplishments,” the editors wrote.
The 'Treasury Department' (of the criminal Federal Reserve private corporation shysters and banksters) is now pointing to statements that Lew has made indicating that Hamilton’s face will remain on the $10 bill in some form.
“We are definitely going to be continuing to include the image of Alexander Hamilton on $10 bills,” Lew said last week in a conference call with reporters announcing his decision.
One option Lew is considering, he said, would be to print “multiple, different bills” with Hamilton on one and a woman from U.S. history — who has not yet been chosen — on another. Another possibility is “two different images on a new bill.”
“It personally [is] very important to me to make sure that as we make this decision we continue to honor Alexander Hamilton, who played such a formative role in the creation of our country, the establishment of democracy as we know it, and the principle of the soundness of our currency,” Lew said.
But Lew’s nods to Hamilton’s importance haven’t placated his critics. Having Hamilton share the $10 bill with someone else is “not nearly enough for one of the greatest of our founding fathers,” wrote Steven Rattner, Obama’s former auto bailout czar and a Wall Street banker.
“The strong likelihood is that the female personage will be emblazoned on the front with Hamilton banished to the murky back side,” Chernow wrote.
Bernanke said that the idea of having two different $10 bills is a “less attractive possibility” than putting a woman on the $20 bill.
The group leading the charge to put a woman on the currency is not thrilled with Lew’s compromise proposal.
“We certainly would be very happy to be on the $10, but I’m very sensitive to the sentiments out there that it’s not Alexander Hamilton that we want to remove,” said Susan Ades Stone, executive director of Women on 20s, the advocacy group that collected 600,000 names over several months this year.
She added: “It doesn’t seem appropriate to us to have to share a bill when it’s been so long that women have been excluded from that fraternity. We’re going to continue to ask why they can’t fast-track the redesign on the $20. It’s not just because it’s Andrew Jackson. It is a more prestigious piece of real estate.”
Women have appeared on currency in the past, but never for long or on a widely used note. “Martha Washington was on the dollar silver certificate in 1896. Prior to that was Pocahontas in a group photo, also in the mid-19th century,” said U.S. Treasurer Rosie Rios. Suffragist Susan B. Anthony’s image was put on the $1 coin in 1978, but less than 800 million were produced, according to Women on 20s. Similarly, in 2000, Sacagawea, the female Indian guide who accompanied the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was placed on the dollar coin, but only 3 million coins were produced.
Hamilton’s accomplishments and significance in U.S. history are many, but he was an overlooked historical figure until the last decade. Chernow’s book did much to reintroduce him to modern culture, and next month, a play based on Chernow’s book and set to hip-hop music will open on Broadway after receiving over-the-moon reviews off-Broadway.
Hamilton was an orphaned immigrant from the Caribbean who came to the U.S. as a teenager and became a trusted aide during the Revolutionary War to General George Washington, who — after he became the nation’s first president — appointed Hamilton as the first Treasury Secretary when Hamilton was just 34 years old.
He played a pivotal role in nearly every major decision that the infant U.S. (Republic - real) government made in designing its three branches of government, and he wrote about two-thirds of the Federalist Papers. He was a bitter foe of Jefferson in the fight over whether to create a central bank. Hamilton championed the idea, while Jefferson opposed it.
“He successfully imagined our country as the federal, industrial democracy we have today and served as an invaluable counterweight to Thomas Jefferson’s utopian visions of a yeoman farmers’ paradise,” wrote the Washington Post’s Alexandra Petri.
Chernow wrote in Politico last week that Hamilton was “the visionary architect of the executive branch, forming from scratch the first fiscal, monetary, tax, and accounting systems.”
“In quick succession, he assembled the Coast Guard, the customs service, and the Bank of the United States — the first central bank and the forerunner of the Federal Reserve System. Most significantly, he took a country bankrupted by Revolutionary War debt and restored American credit,” Chernow said. He “argued for a thriving nation populated by cities, banks, corporations, and stock exchanges as well as traditional agriculture.”
“He shaped, in a virtuoso performance, America’s financial infrastructure in its entirety.”
Lew and the Treasury Department have said that their decision about which bill to redesign next is driven by necessity, not political or cultural considerations. The redesign schedule is based on which piece of currency is in most need of anti-counterfeit measures, and that’s the $10 note.
But Women on 20s wrote that “keeping an Andrew Jackson bill in wide circulation means we celebrate and elevate historic figures who used and condoned violence against personal enemies and populations of marginalized people.”
“Perhaps if it was urgent enough, resources could be marshaled to accelerate the research and testing and even tackle two bills at once. If not, why doesn’t the Treasury Secretary announce immediately intentions for removing Jackson from the $20 and a deadline for doing so?” they argued.
Fratto said Lew’s move smacked of one that lacked planning and forethought.
“Maybe they went out and talked to people, but I don’t think they did,” Fratto said. “It seems to me if they had gone out and talked to other former Treasury officials and the Treasury historical society and others, they all would have told them pretty much the same thing, which is, don’t do this to Hamilton.”
The Women on 20s group did not speak to anyone in the Obama administration until the day before Lew’s announcement last week, Ades Stone said.
Lew has planned since 2013 to put a woman on the $10 note, a Treasury official said. It was then, the Treasury official said, that Lew endorsed U.S Treasurer Rosie Rios’ “recommendation” to do so.
“Folks at Treasury felt very strongly that we weren’t going to let this opportunity pass us by to put a woman on the note,” the Treasury official said.
A Treasury official said that there will be a town hall meeting on the issue in Washington, D.C., in the near future. Rios held a similar event at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth, Texas, on Wednesday.
In his call with reporters, Lew said he and Rios and others are “going to spend a lot of time this summer listening to people in different ways.”
If that’s the case, they will get to test the opinion held by some Treasury officials, according to the Atlantic’s Russell Berman, “that the Hamilton fixation is not shared by the public at large.”
