Harriet Tubman Will Replace Andrew Jackson on $20 Bill...Banksters trying to suppress history?

[TargeT]

Or maybe just keep racism in the forefront of our minds?

Remember this?

Hell, maybe it's a good thing... Jackson would be ROLLING in his grave to know his head is on the very thing he fought against...

Harriet Tubman Will Replace Andrew Jackson on $20 Bill
The Treasury Department announced Wednesday that Alexander Hamilton will stay on the $10 bill, but abolitionist hero Harriet Tubman will replace Andrew Jackson as the portrait on the $20 bill.

The Department plans to unveil designs of the $5 bill, $10 bill, and $20 bill in 2020, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. As TIME reported last week, the timing on the production of the $20 bill is up in the air. Though the designs will be unveiled in 2020, the bills will enter circulation sometime later, with the $10 bill coming first. Because all of the bills will feature tactile changes to aide the blind, changes could take a significant amount of time.

On Wednesday, Secretary Lew said he has instructed the Bureau of Engraving and Printing and coordinated with the Federal Reserve to accelerate the process. Lew said there are two things he and the Chair of the Federal Reserve agree on: “we can’t compromise security and we have to work as quickly as possible,” he said.

Though Hamilton is staying on the front of the $10 bill, an image of multiple women’s suffragists including Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Alice Paul, will appear on the back. Andrew Jackson will also remain on the $20 bill, he’ll just be moved to the back.

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced last June that a woman would appear as portrait of the bill, though over the course of 10 months—following public input and some intense lobbying efforts by various groups—his thinking changed. “For me, personally, there was an aha moment in July when it became clear that going bigger would give us the ability to tell more stories,” Lew said Wednesday.

Secretary Lew and Treasurer Rosie Rios, who has been working to get a woman on the currency since she arrived at the Treasury Department, said Wednesday the decision to place Harriet Tubman on the front of the currency was an easy one.

“The life of Harriet Tubman is really one of the greater American stories,” Lew said. “I think it’s a story that reflects both American values and American democracy, but also the power of an individual to make a difference in our democracy.”

The Treasury Department got millions of responses when they opened up the process to the public last June—through the mail, via email and on social media. The face of the current $10 bill has a lot of notable fans, including the Treasury Secretary himself, who has called Alexander Hamilton a personal hero. Hamilton has also become a pop culture mega-star thanks to the Pulitzer Prize winning hip-hop musical about his life. The star and creator of the musical, Lin Manuel Miranda, met with Lew to talk currency earlier this year.

Andrew Jackson, on the other hand, has a number of vocal detractors, led by the grassroots organization Women on 20s, which has ferociously lobbied for him to get the boot from the $20 bill. But leaders of the organization have recently shifted their tone given the probable timing of that change. If women have to appear on the back of the $10 bill, Barbara Ortiz Howard and Susan Ades Stone wrote in an op-ed for TIME, the Department should simultaneously redesign the $20.

Lew acknowledged he couldn’t make everyone happy with his decision, but said his decision takes a “long-term view.”

“I knew we couldn’t make everyone happy,” he said. “But there’s a reason the decision rests with the Secretary of the Treasury to make decisions that are balanced and have a long term view.”

The entire series of bills will get a redesign, including the the $5 bill, which will feature images of historic events in the fight for Civil Rights for black Americans that occurred on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, including Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech and a 1939 performance by Opera singer Marian Anderson.

I'm not sure what to think about this.... Money is the HIGHEST power used against us, the most hypnotising thing on the planet... what could this change mean, nothing? Everything?

The new designs will certainly be worth looking at....

The ULTIMATE SLAP in the face..............

[Inversion]

Andrew Jackson was an alleged Freemason and this could be a symbolic maneuver meaning the masons will be taking a backseat.


Andrew Jackson will also remain on the $20 bill, he’ll just be moved to the back.

I don't really have an issue with it...at least on the surface. I don't think black americans are represented at all on any of our(US) bills or coinage(someone correct me if i'm wrong). Ive never given it much thought, honestly, but now that I am it seems kind of ridiculous that they arent.

If we're to believe theres no misleading political agenda here, and the purpose of it is what it appears to be, i'm all for it. It only seems fair.

I don't think it's done to incite racial friction, but it likely will anyway amongst a few uptight white guys....(we can always count on fox news to find the aggrieved white man angle;)..certainly theyll try to spin this into a white conservative victimization thing, as john stewart calls it..)

Maybe i'm being naive..maybe theres some shady illuminati agenda i'm missing here. I'm open to it. I'm willing to hear it. But as of right now I'm just not seeing it

[A Voice from the Mountains]

It'll be the first woman and the first black person on a US bill. I think it's fine. I'm actually glad it's not Eleanor Roosevelt, because at least it's reasonable to suspect that Harriet Tubman was not from some Illuminati type family, and was just someone who struggled for rights that she really deserved.

Andrew Jackson did a great thing in vetoing the rechartering of the national bank. I admire him for that. Unfortunately he was also responsible for the Trail of Tears, was militaristic and owned some 200 slaves. History is complicated like that.

[Kryztian]

At the same time, Alexander Hamilton is still on the $10 bill. The man who believe in big bureaucracy, big taxes and a Federal Government ready to wage wars with politicians who had lifetime terms.

Meanwhile, the big hype musical on Broadway is about him, where he is presented as a multi-cultural hero (a white man of Scottish-French descent who grew up on Carribean Isles suffused in slavery, and never spoke out against the institution.) The musical is based on a biography of Hamilton written by Ron Chernow, whose other biographies extolled the virtues of the Warburgs, the Morgans and John D. Rockefeller, Sr. "Hamilton" is kind of like "Springtime for Hitler" without the irony.

Seems to me, since money majik is what is happening, what vibe one wants to be imparted into one's energy, I prefer the above. More like what I believe represents optimism vs the other..

[TargeT]

Putting known faces on products is a age old tradition for those who manipulate the masses.

This is why celebrities sell products; it's a way to break through our tribalism and lend "trust" to something via a person we (in our minds) think we know due to constant exposure to them (tv etc..).

so at the VERY LEAST Ms Tubman is being used to help prop up a failing institution... for that alone I disagree with this.

If there's more to it, I'm not so sure... but the trickery done by using famous people to sell us something is a tailor made attack against our basic programmed natural distrust.

I agree, a look forward and up, instead of back and down.

[shaberon]

He also slew twenty men in duels; I admire that.

Hamilton in an honorary depiction...not so sure.

I would have wished the grassroots movement would have done something significant, namely, along the lines of Jackson's bank execution, instead of playing with pictures.

How about some Constitutional Conventions? Can't we grassroots some of those??

[ZooLife]

To help keep attention on the US currency at a particular time for some reason?

[ozmirage]

It won't matter, once enough Americans withdraw from FICA. Then the dollar bills will have no value -and- won't be legal tender. Billionaires become zero-aires. Government implodes.
Whu...
Oops.
Did I write that?

[Kryztian]

I think that's why the like to write "In God We Trust" on the currency.

I imagine God replying: "In you f#ck$ng shyster Federal Reserve bastards everyone should distrust."

Sure, but what is Harriet Tubman selling us? How is Harriet Tubman helping to prop up anything? Not sure i'm following you.

If the folks in power wanted to prop up trust in the dollar , surely theyd do something a little more...dramatic? Putting a trustworthy face on currency might represent a bandaid on an earth size wound..at best.

Again, maybe i'm missing your point entirely...but it kinda seems like a reach to me.

[shaberon]

It wasn't done by the bank anyway; Treasury in some interaction with people.

[Althena]

It's a politically correct bill of trust in NWO times, use it lose it...

I can just imagine you cheering from the sidelines as one of these mens gargled on his own blood and died right there in the street. :facepalm:

[WhiteLove]

The new 20$ bill (http://www.bbc.com/news/business-36099791)

Someone uses their power to remind everyone about the connection between slavery, money and ownership. I find this quite disturbing, especially since it is planned for the future...

[Mike]

Well, is it politically correct?.....or just correct? I think thats an important question to ask oneself.

We now have one woman/black american on our currency. ONE. And people are freaking out!;) Not so much here on avalon, but all over the net. Its unreal.

I keep hearing accusations of "pandering" and discrimination. Pandering? Sure, maybe if they replaced all the bills with african americans and had a kill whitey parade after. but we're talking about one bill here. One. As whites we've enjoyed favor for a long time now, both subtle and overt. Don't you think its time we start sharing our toys?:)

this is equilization, not discrimination.

Of course none of it will matter when the economy goes down the tubes;) but I'm glad TargeT started the thread...its a good discussion to have.

[RunningDeer]

Several things come to mind. The new money reinforces both the black/white and feminist merry-go-rounds.

Any one hiding those soon to be old $20 dollar bills under the mattress will be weeded out and/or chipped. Or there will be a cut off date with the old $20, which again will flag the 'preppers' that scramble to the banks to exchange them.

http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/smilies/ones-zeroes.gif

For the last six months at Target (no the other Target http://avalonlibrary.net/paula/Recovered/boff-smiley-face_zps5s9g5uc5.GIF) the workers scan the $20 dollar bills. It must be getting easier to whip up a fresh batch.

Better that than go to war, or start a feud or any of the crap we do today... I say if you are so inclined and both parties agree (which is how duels work) I have no issue with consenting adults doing anything they consent to.

now do you see why I said to bring racism to the forefront?

I can't help but think that is the main thrust of this... divide further the population

.

.... I can't believe I missed the feminist angle... "3rd wave neo feminism" is a strangely pervasive movement that I personally do not feel is organic, but injected. (it plays long the same lines as all the other professional victim movements that we see recently & all of them rely heavily on logical fallacy and emotion based thinking (un-rational)).

Great observation!

[Mike]

Hey TargeT, yeah, youre right..I underestimated that a little.

it's just that when people talk about racism, and NWO agenda, I usually associate that with angry african americans...and here we have angry whites. I have no problem with righteous anger, black or white, but this all seems a little ridiculous to me.

It could very well be another distraction...in this case a racial one. It just disappoints me that after all this time the human race is still in pre-school...we're just so easily manipulated man. And we're so accustomed to being manipulated that even when we arent, we might as well be..since we always assume its so.

[waves]

It also tells me there's not only going to still be cash in 2020, it's going to exist for quite a while after and we're still much further away from a world of all electronic money than fear porn suggests.

[TargeT]

...we're just so easily manipulated man. And we're so accustomed to being manipulated that even when we arent, we might as well be..since we always assume its so.

But that's not what our ego tells us. Certainly; I've never been manipulated... (hahahhahaha *gasp* hahahahahaha)

IMO: clearly our "base" psychology is VERY well understood by certain parties (it may be that this understanding is based on the life long indoctrination we go through, mixed with general human nature archetypes). The funny thing is that our ego will allow us to be manipulated because we cannot believe we are susceptible to it (certainly not ME). The patience and longevitiy of these manipulations is very hard for our brains to comprehend... we generally don't care much about what happens out side of a sliding 4 year window (4 behind, 4 in front)... anything out of that window becomes very unimportant to us.

NOw, if you subscribe to the "ET" controllers theory: the above makes a bit of sense.

If you subscribe to the Mind Parasite theory: the above also makes sense

IMO out side forces are acting, even if it's just a "breakaway" civilization that has kept knowledge from "the masses"; by 'outside' I mean alien to our understanding.

Or I've had too much caffeine...

[A Voice from the Mountains]

If we want to concern ourselves with what things like this make people think, let's start with ourselves as individuals. Every group is just a bunch of individuals anyway. The same glass can either be called half empty or half full and it's all just what you choose to make of it. So I would propose a new way of looking at this, that most people are probably already going to be choosing: this is actually a good thing. Why not? Maybe some people prefer to look at the glass as half empty and there's nothing I can do about that.

If you really want to viscerally feel why it's a good thing then look up a bunch of stories about slaves in the antebellum period, or better yet, there's a movie called "The Retrieval" that's pretty good and with very little gorey violence. People seem to become desensitized to this stuff easily and I know this was all over 150 years ago (though black people were still made to work as slaves in the prison gang system for many years and didn't really start getting equal treatment under the law until the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's -- 100 years after the Civil War), but all these years later and I really don't think the struggles these people went through has ever been sufficiently acknowledged by mass culture. And I don't count rappers wearing those big heavy gold chains in music videos because I think that kind of stuff is ridiculous and degrading.

Like I said, at least two ways to look at anything. Fear or love? Why make this controversial? You think Andrew Jackson's feelings are going to be hurt (the man responsible for killing thousands of Native Americans during the Trail of Tears, which he ordered)? If the Internet is really going crazy over it interpreting it one way or another then what are doing to help that? There are more important things to worry about in the world.

[Ivanhoe]

Just think, all of this could be avoided by simply putting National Parks / Historic Landmarks on the bills instead of people. What a concept huh?!

[sigma6]

Personally I think they should put a picture of George Washington Carver on it... a prominent African-American scientist and inventor, best known for the many uses he devised for the peanut... And his name still sounds like George Washington... (that way most Americans wouldn't even notice there was any change... and might even start believing the first President was actually black!)

And his mug looks very presidential to me...

...ok... just sayin' ': O

Dear Ozmirage: Both you and your comment are a riot, very funny. A little levity on such a serious subject helps to point to questions about the necessity for a Medium of Exchange which represents one's Labor. This invites a deeper look at the sin of watering down that exchange of Labor for equivalent Goods by government credit, Wall St. theft (Derivatives), engineered computer software which makes transactions of exchange faster than man can think and the distinct appearance of huge corporations using this medium to cheat little investors and consolidate all wealth into the Thousands of Corporations which the NWO players now own, mainly due to such a device. When they are the only ones playing Wall St., and there are no more little investors left to fleece, does the whole thing close down?

Our society is too large and complicated not to have some form of Exchange, which, when you look as it, is the very thing that enabled the society to become so complicated. How do you turn around the Titanic on a dime? One thing is certain, we must restore the Bank Laws forbidding savings and loan institutions from being investment banks. The reverse was done, I believe, precisely to bring about the NWO destruction of America. Also, you cannot extend credit where no cash exists to repay the loan, which is what we have now along with the deliberately planned increase of interest rate trap exercised by the NWO bankers. If the Arabs have banks without interest, WHY CAN'T WE? Someone tell me why this will not work? Profit is theft! The only Profit which exists is that Increase created by Machines. Unlike Man's Labor which must earn him food and shelter, etc., Machines produce more over their lifetime and the increase in goods provides Profit!

Another observation in our economy is the Builders produce larger, more expensive houses than is really required by people, who would be much better off not having to pay off huge mortgages for huge possessions which they have to dispose of at some time during retirement or before, since they cannot keep up with the maintenance or payments. The many homeless people would love to have a tiny house, but those who divide the land for profit call the tune and make the laws which determine the lot sizes and what must be put on those lots. Go to Google and survey the vast open spaces on the continents where people could live and have subsistence farmlets, but which seem totally empty. Humans have been herded into cities by Corporations and rendered consumers who cannot provide for themselves; and then, they pulled the rug out from under them by moving to China. We have to make a turn around on that DIME! Back to primary production and possibly the Venus Project.

We're all victims of the world's greatest propaganda ministry, so bear with me when I point out that we're taught to be money mad.

Wealth is not prosperity, nor is a "backed currency" a panacea.
Prosperity is based on production, trade and enjoyment of surplus usable goods and services - not the supply of money tokens.
Doing more with less so more can enjoy is superior to doing less with more so few can enjoy.

The function of any money token is to PASS VALUE to a future trade, when simple barter is insufficient. After that money token has passed value, does it still have value or has it been extinguished?
Be careful - your answer will determine if you're money mad or not.

Consider that if one has a coupon for a "free" MickyD burger, and tenders it for a tasty burger, the issuer of that coupon DESTROYS IT, as it has performed its function of passing value to a future trade.
Likewise, when someone "cashes" a check, the check is extinguished.

So why does money remain after the trade?
Obviously, using precious metal as money means it would be foolish to destroy it. So here we have a paradox. An abstraction called money that both passes value and retains value. Thus we must be made mad to embrace such a paradox.

All the aspects of eCONomics and investment (usury) are based on being money mad and ignoring common sense and mathematical laws.
For instance, the dollar bill is a variable not a constant. Yet the "science" of eCONomics uses it as a unit of measure.
In addition, it is finite and scarce. (Less than 3.5 trillion "dollar bills" in circulation)
So how can "things" like asteroids be evaluated in the quadrillions? The . Money . Does . Not . Exist.
Worst of all, usury is mathematically unsustainable in a finite money token system. The exponential equation for compound interest requires an infinite money supply. Since that is impossible, a portion of debtors will default simply because enough money never existed.

Anyone who points out these facts are dismissed as being "ignorant of eCONomics" or a crank. But the fact remains that our civilization is doomed as long as it embraces money madness and usury. All through history civilizations rose to great levels of productivity and technology, then suddenly collapsed. I suspect that if you examine them, they all passed the point of no return - when their economic system exceeded the constraints of their finite money token system. Money mad people will not be productive unless paid, and that's a sad fact.

Go to any third world country where potential laborers lounge around, doing nothing, despite unmet need, and ask why.
"No one has any money to hire us...."
INSANE.

In The Future
...
What if people just did what was necessary, not because they were expecting remuneration, but that was what civilized people did.

Parents care and nurture their children. That is what civilized people do.

Farmers raised crops and animals. That is what civilized people do.

Miners dug out minerals and refined resources. That is what civilized people do.

Teachers pass on knowledge to their students. That is what civilized people do.

There is no central authority telling them what they should do or need to do.

The hungry are fed, the homeless are sheltered, the naked are clothed. But no one is compelled to be charitable. Generosity is proportional to the prosperity of the people, as they generate prodigious surplus goods and services.

There is no parasite nor predator skimming fortunes from victims. In fact, intolerance of predators is the rule, not the exception. The uncivilized are not acceptable in polite society. If they behave like brutes, they are shunned as brutes, kept to their domains.

How does one keep accounts? However one wishes. Private promissory notes. Electronic databases. Verbal contracts. Honoring one’s word. Obligations and duties. It does not matter. All that matters is that prosperity is based on production, trade and enjoyment of surplus usable goods and services - not some abstraction called money.
