The members of a forgotten part of America's 20th century history were once trying to resurrect a forgotten part of America's 19th century history. In the first half of the 20th century, almost the whole of the American intellectual elite was either Communist or Fascist. The popular early 20th century American Fascist movement, with Huey Long, Ezra Pound, and others, was obsessed with the founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, they said, would have been fascists if born in their time, quoting mainly the letters with regard to monetary reform between Jefferson and Adams (which are available on the web). The fascists claimed, however, in a very small sub-point that really was irrelevent to the subject they were discussing, that Alexander Hamilton was a jew. If anyone has anything to back this outlandish claim from drugged up 1930s American intellectuals, please inform me. The important point about Alexander Hamilton they made was the accusation that he helped destroy the hopes of America at that time from getting away from European-controlled finance. The major impetus to American independence, some say, was the disallowment of the Americans printing their own currency and maintaining a (public) economic and monetary system more or less independent from the (private) Bank of England. Alexander Hamilton is purported to have been the major figure in keeping British and European creditors effectual in control of American finance. In the 1830s, in what the fascists called the "forgotten renaissance of American politics and culture," Van Buren and Jackson created the public treasury, furthering the realisation of Jefferson's and Adam's dream of the public independent control of finances, away and apart from European bankers.
What I ask, is first, if Alexander Hamilton (a thoroughly Scottish name) was a Jew, where is the evidence? And, secondly, how did Alexander Hamilton's influence on the structure of the early American republic betray America? And if not, why did the fascists believe this?
