Dear Editor,
This short article is merely for you the reader to make your own conclusion. This is not to be used as a statement of certain fact. Instead, this article examines the possible link between three assassinations of presidents, in United States history.
In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, bypassed the European Banking system and its high interest rates, and created an inherently debt-free currency. This was called the greenback. This did not sit well with European and American bankers. An internal memo, circulated between many of these banks, called the Hazard Circular, touched on this in July of 1862
Slavery is likely to be abolished by the war power and chattel slavery destroyed. This, I and my European friends are glad of, for slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with it the care of the laborers, while the European plan, led by England, is that capital shall control labor by controlling wages. This can be done by controlling the money. The great debt that capitalists will see to it is made out of the war, must be used as a means to control the volume of money. To accomplish this, the bonds [government debt to the bankers] must be used as a banking basis. . . . It will not do to allow the greenback, as it is called, to circulate as money any length of time, as we cannot control that and it must be removed from every market at once.
Not long after President Abraham Lincoln was shot and killed in Ford’s Theater.
William McKinley – Twenty-Fifth President of the United States, signed into law the Gold Standard Act of 1900. This was done for many reasons too numerous to list here, but the American economy was in bad shape and had a great amount of debt owed to the Banking systems of Europe, as well as private American banks. Below is a brief summary of the Gold Standard Act.
The Gold Standard Act of the United States was passed in 1900 (approved on14- March) and established gold as the only standard for redeeming paper money and stopping bimetallism (which had allowed silver in exchange for gold). It was signed by President William McKinley.
The Act fixed the value of the dollar at 25 8⁄10 grains of gold at 20% purity, equivalent to 23.22 grains (1.5046 grams) of pure gold. The Gold Standard Act confirmed the nation’s commitment to the gold standard by assigning gold a specific dollar value (just over $20.67 per Troy ounce). This took place after McKinley sent a team to Europe to try to figure out a silver agreement with France and Great Britain. On 25-Apri, 1933, the United States and Canada dropped the gold standard.
Less the one year after its passing, William McKinley was assassinated, on 6-September, 1901, inside the Temple of Music, on the grounds of the Pan-American Exposition, in Buffalo, New York.
The use of Silver as a form of currency dates back to the Mint and Coinage Act, codified in the 1792, for the United States Government. By the 1960’s, the bankers and their ties in the US Congress were ready to move once more. On 4-June, 1963, the US Congress repealed the legal foundation for Silver Certificates, but President John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, responded, with Executive Order 11110, that the Treasury should continue to “issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury”.
This put President John F. Kennedy at odds with the bankers. It may have led to his final fate, as on 22-November, 1963, in the city of Dallas, Texas, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated.
As I have stated above, these are merely facts that I noticed about the three assassinations of United States Presidents. Is there a tie? Does the banking systems really have this much power? Can money buy anything? These are questions for you to ponder.
