Whether the Federal Reserve creates debt money, or the
Treasury creates fiat money, its about control of who gets to create money.
However, who gets to control the creation of money is a definite source of
contention with potentially deadly results.
Crossfire, The Plot That Killed Kennedy by Jim Marrs,
1989, Excerpts
Another overlooked aspect of
Kennedy's attempt to reform American society involves money. Kennedy apparently
reasoned that by returning to the Constitution, which states that only Congress
shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by
not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve system, who print
paper money then loan it to the government at interest.
He moved in this area on June 4,
1963, by signing Executive Order 11,110 which called for the issuance of
$4,292,893,815 in United States notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the
traditional Federal Reserve System. A number of "Kennedy bills" were
indeed issued but were quickly withdrawn after Kennedy's death.
Considering that the battle over
U.S. monetary control by a monolithic central bank is an issue that dates back
to the founding of the Republic, some assassination researchers believe
Kennedy's little-noted efforts to reform the money supply and curtail the
Federal Reserve System may have cost him much more than just the enmity of the
all-powerful international bankers.
JFK, The Movie
I won't name names or tell you who
or what I represent.
Except to say you're close.
Closer than you think.
Everything I'll say is classified
top secret.
I was a soldier, Mr. Garrison. Two
wars.
A secret Pentagon guy, supplying
the hardware:
Planes, bullets, rifles...
...for what we call "Black
Operations."
Black Ops. Assassinations. Coups
d'état...
...rigging elections, propaganda,
psych warfare.
In World WarIl, I was in Rumania,
Greece, Yugoslavia.
I helped evacuate part of Nazi
intelligence at the end of the war.
And we used those guys against the
Communists.
In ltaly, '48, we stole the
elections.
France '49, we broke the strikes.
Overthrew Quirino in the
Philippines, Arbenz in Guatemala...
...Mossadegh in Iran. We were in
Vietnam in '54...
...Indonesia, '58, Tibet, '59.
Got the Dalai Lama out. We were
good.
Very good.
Then we got into the Cuban thing.
Not so good.
Set up an invasion to take place in
October, '62.
Khrushchev sent missiles to resist.
Kennedy didn't invade.
We just had our dicks in the wind.
A lot of pissed-off people, Mr.
Garrison.
Understand?
I'll come to that later.
So, 1963....
I spent much of September of '63...
...working on the Kennedy plan to
get all US personnel...
...out of Vietnam by the end of
1965.
One of the strongest plans issued
by the Kennedy White House...
...National Security Memo 263...
...ordered home the first 1,000
troops.
But in November, a week after the
murder of Vietnamese President Diem...
...and two weeks before Kennedy's
assassination...
...a strange thing happened to me.
I was sent by my superior, we'll
call him "Y"...
...I was sent by General Y to the
South Pole...
...as military escort for a group
of international VIPs.
I was on my way back, in New
Zealand...
...when the President was killed.
Oswald was charged at 7:00 p.m.,
Dallas time...
...with Tippet's murder.
That's 2:00 p.m. the next day in
New Zealand.
But already their papers had the
entire history...
...of this unknown, 24-year-old
Oswald.
Studio picture, detailed biography,
Russian information...
...and were sure that he killed the
President alone...
...although it took them four more
hours to charge him with that crime in Dallas.
It felt to me as if...
...a cover story was being put out.
Like we would in a Black Op.
After I came back...
...I asked myself, why was l, the
chief of Special Ops...
...sent to the South Pole to do a
job...
...many others could have done?
I wondered if it could've been
because...
...one of my routine duties, if I'd
been in Washington...
...would've been to order
additional security in Texas.
I checked it out and found that
someone...
...told the 112th Military
Intelligence Group at Fort Sam Houston...
...to stand down that day, over the
protests of Colonel Reich.
I believe it's a mistake.
It's standard procedure, especially
in a known hostile city like Dallas...
...to supplement the Secret
Service.
Even if we hadn't let him ride with
the bubble-top off...
...we would've put 100 to 200
agents on the sidewalk without question.
A month before, in Dallas, UN
Ambassador Adlai Stevenson was spit on and hit.
There had been attempts on De
Gaulle's life in France.
We'd have arrived days ahead,
studied the route...
...checked all the buildings.
Never would've allowed open windows
overlooking Dealey. Never!
Our own snipers would've covered
the area.
If a window went up, they'd have
been on the radio!
We'd be watching the crowd:
packages, rolled-up newspapers, coats.
Never would've let a man open an
umbrella.
Never would've let the car slow
down to ten miles an hour.
Or take that unusual curve at
Houston and Elm.
You'd have felt an Army presence in
the streets that day.
But none of this happened. It
violated our most basic protection codes.
And it is the best indication of a
massive plot in Dallas.
Who could have best done this?
Black Ops. People in my business.
My superior could've called Col.
Reich and said:
"We have another unit coming
for security. You'll stand down."
That day, some Army Intelligence
people were in Dallas.
I don't know who or why.
But they weren't protecting
clients.
And Oswald. Army Intell had a Lee
Harvey Oswald on file.
Those files have been destroyed.
Many strange things were happening.
Oswald had nothing to do with them.
The entire Cabinet was in the Far
East.
A third of a combat division was
returning from Germany...
...in the air above the United
States, at the time of the shooting.
At 12:34 p.m., the Washington
telephone system went out for an hour.
On the plane back to Washington...
...word was radioed from the Situations
Room...
...to Johnson that there was only
one assassin.
Sound like coincidences to you?
Not for one moment.
The Cabinet was out of the way.
Troops for riot control were in the
air.
Telephones were out to stop the
wrong stories from spreading.
Nothing was left to chance.
He could not be allowed to escape
alive.
Things were never the same after
that.
Vietnam started for real. There was
an air of...
...make-believe in the Pentagon and
CIA.
Those of us in Secret Ops knew the
Warren Commission was fiction.
But there was something...
...deeper.
Uglier.
I knew Allen Dulles well. I often
briefed him in his house.
But why was he appointed to
investigate Kennedy's death? The man who fired him.
Dulles, by the way, was General Y's
benefactor.
I got out in '64.
Resigned my commission.
I never realized Kennedy was so
dangerous to the establishment.
Is that why?
That's the real question, isn't it?
Why?
The how and the who is just scenery
for the public.
Oswald, Ruby, Cuba, the Mafia...
...keeps them guessing, like a
game.
Prevents them from asking the most
important question: why?
Why was Kennedy killed? Who
benefited?
Who has the power to cover it up?
Who?
In 1961...
...right after the Bay of Pigs,
very few people know this...
...I participated in drawing up
National Security Action Memos 55, 56, 57.
These are documents classified top
secret.
In them, Kennedy told Gen.
Lemnitzer, chairman of the Joint Chiefs...
...that from here on, the Joint
Chiefs would be wholly responsible...
...for all covert paramilitary
action in peacetime.
This ended the reign of the CIA.
Splintered it into 1,000 pieces, as
JFK promised he would.
And now he was ordering the
military...
...to help him do it.
Unprecedented!
I can't tell you the shock waves
this sent along the corridors of power.
This and the firing of Allen
Dulles...
...Richard Bissell and Gen. Charles
Cabell.
All were sacred cows in Intell
since World War II.
They got some very upset people.
Kennedy's directives weren't
implemented because of...
...bureaucratic resistance.
But one of the results was...
...the Cuban operation was turned
over to my department...
...as Operation Mongoose.
Mongoose was pure Black Ops.
It was secretly based at Miami University...
...which has the largest domestic
CIA station...
...budgeted annually for hundreds
of millions of dollars.
Three hundred agents, 7,000 select
Cubans.
Fifty fake business fronts to
launder money.
They waged a non-stop war against Castro.
Industrial sabotage, crop burning,
etc.
All under the control of General Y.
He took the rules of covert warfare
he'd used abroad...
...and brought them to this
country.
Now he had the people, the
equipment, the bases...
...and the motivation.
Don't underestimate the budget cuts
that Kennedy called for in March of 1963.
Nearly 52 military installations in
25 states.
Twenty-one overseas bases.
Big money.
You know how many helicopters have
been lost in Vietnam?
Nearly 3,000 so far.
Who makes them? Bell Helicopter.
Who owns Bell?
Bell was nearly bankrupt when First
National Bank of Boston asked the CIA...
...to use the helicopter in
Indochina. How about the F-111 fighter?
General Dynamics of Fort Worth,
Texas. Who owns that?
Find out the defense budget since
the war began. $75 going on $100 billion.
Nearly $200 billion will be spent
before it's over.
In 1949, it was $10 billion.
No war...no money.
The organizing principle of any
society, Mr. Garrison...
...is for war.
The authority of the state over its
people resides in its war powers.
Kennedy wanted to end the Cold War
in his second term.
He wanted to call off the moon race
and cooperate with the Soviets.
He signed a treaty to ban nuclear
testing.
He refused to invade Cuba in 1962.
He set out to withdraw from
Vietnam.
But all that ended on the 22nd of
November, 1963.
Since 1961, they knew Kennedy was
not going to war in Southeast Asia.
Like Caesar, he is surrounded by
enemies.
Something's underway, but it has no
face. Yet, everybody in the loop knows.
Forget about combat troops.
He told McNamara he would pull out
the goddamn advisors!
He fucked us in Laos and now he
will fuck us in Vietnam!
He can't afford to implement it
before the election.
I hear the NSC meeting was a real
barn burner.
I wouldn't have missed it for the
world. Heads will roll. Hear about Lemnitzer?
What?
Kennedy rubbed Lem's nose in shit.
Said if we didn't go into Cuba,
which was so close...
...why go into Vietnam which is so
far away?
There he goes again.
Got his hand on the chicken switch.
Lem said that the Chiefs still
think we should go into Cuba.
Money's at stake.
Big money. $100 billion.
Kennedy bred voting districts for
defense dollars.
He gave TFX fighter contracts only
to those counties that will matter in '64.
The people in the loop fight back.
Their way.
We have to control the intelligence
from Saigon.
We just don't let McNamara stick
his nose in this thing!
Every time he goes over to Saigon
for a fact-finding mission...
...he comes back and scares the
shit out of Kennedy!
Now I want Max Taylor on him night
and day...
...like a fly on shit.
You control McNamara, you control
Kennedy.
I think it started like that.
In the wind.
Defense contractors, oil bankers.
Just conversation.
A call is made. Maybe to someone
like my superior officer General Y.
We're going. We need your help.
When?
In the fall. Probably in the South.
-We want you to come up with a
plan. -I can do that.
Everything is cellularized.
No one said, "He must
die." No vote. Nothing's on paper.
There's no one to blame.
It's as old as the crucifixion.
Or the military firing squad.
Five bullets, one blank. No one's
guilty.
Everybody in the power structure...
...has a plausible deniability.
No compromising connections except
at the most secret point.
But it must succeed.
No matter how many die or how much
it costs...
...the perpetrators must be on the
winning side...
...and never subject to prosecution
for anything by anyone.
That is a coup d'état.
Kennedy announces the Texas trip in
September.
At that moment, second Oswalds pop
up all over Dallas...
...where they have the mayor and
the cops in their pocket.
General Y flies in the assassins.
Maybe from the special camp we keep
near Athens, Greece.
Pros.
They'd be locals, Cubans, Mafia
hire. Separate teams.
Does it matter who shot...
...from what rooftop?
Part of the scenery.
I keep thinking about that
Tuesday...
...the 26th of November.
The day after they buried Kennedy.
Gentlemen, I am not going to let
Vietnam go like China did.
I'm committed...
...not to take our soldiers out of
there till they know we mean business in Asia.
Lyndon Johnson signs National
Security Memo 273...
...which reverses Kennedy's
withdrawal policy...
...and approves covert action
against North Vietnam...
...provoking the Gulf of Tonkin
incident.
Just get me elected, I'll give you
the damn war.
In that document...
...lay the Vietnam War.
I can't believe they killed him
because he wanted to change things.
-ln our time, in our country!
-They've done it throughout history.
Kings are killed. Politics is
power, nothing more!
Don't take my word for it. Do your
own thinking.
The size of this is...
...beyond me.
Could the US get a $1tn
platinum coin?
09 Jan 2012
A petition urging the creation of
platinum coin worth $1tn (£624bn) has attracted nearly 7,000 signatures and the
support of some heavyweight economists such as Nobel prize-winning economist
and New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, and Philip Diehl, the former
director of the United States Mint. Experts say the plan would be lawful and
should allow the government to keep spending if President Barack Obama fails to
convince lawmakers to raise the "debt ceiling" - a cap, set by
Congress, on the US government's borrowing ability. This brinksmanship could
threaten the US's credit rating if the country's debt reaches or breaks through
this ceiling. Walden said he feared the practice would be "very
inflationary".
