I hesitate to bring this up, but I was a Junior in high school at the time of Executive Order 11110. As a debater and extemporaneous speaker, we were required to read gobs of information.
It is my recollection, that the situation that existed then was that silver certificates were backed by silver and could be redeemed for silver if desired. Silver needed for industrial uses was increasing, and the stockpile was diminishing.
The US Government had a fixed rate for the value of silver. The market price was above that fixed rate. So people could take the redeemed silver and sell it for additional value.
JFK had called for a phase-in of discontinuing the silver certificates, because of the need for industrial use. Which means a transition to Federal Reserve notes. That is what I recall.
According to my recent research, the Executive order usually referenced for this Assassination theory was #11110. This Executive Order amended Truman’s Executive order #10289.
The Kennedy Executive Order was not rescinded until Reagan issued Executive order 12608 as clean up, since Congress had passed some relevant legislation.
There are a lot of other organizations and people who had motive, means and opportunity to arrange for Kennedy’s death, and I’d bet money that some bankers were involved, but the reasons almost certainly weren’t due to silver certificates. And whatever or whoever it was, the action was totally unjustified, and it was criminal that the US Government Agencies covered it up. JMHO
I still have some of those certificates somewhere. Hubby wanted to look at them, so I gave them to him. They were not returned to the specific place where they were supposed to be stored, so we are still trying to figure out where they went.
Kennedy was a globalist too, and he signed an agreement in 1960 for disarmament - including citizens IIRC. And he also had the “War on Poverty” ready to go. LBJ successfully implemented much of JFK’s agenda using JFK’s memory to help move it along.
Many articles written back then, on how much more successful LBJ was getting legislation passed than JFK was.
In addition to the EO that you cite, during the early years of Hussein, some friends of mine at church showed me another EO by Kennedy having to do with gold in our economic and currency system.
I had been told that it actually had NOT been revoked and supposedly could still be activated as is. The number started with 1300... something is what I’m wanting to recall.
The reason I recall it so clearly is that I read the documentation and the EO number and since it had not been withdrawn some of us decided to pray for the Will of God concerning it and the possible effects it could have on our economy.
I just did a search based on the little I cited above, but found nothing. I guess we need to cue up the Twilight Zone chimes for me.
There were lots of people and organizations who had motive to kill JFK, but not many who had the money to keep the witnesses silent for years afterwards. Perhaps the CIA could.
It was NOT Silver Certificates JFK had ordered to be printed, they were "United States Notes," no less Fiat Money than the Fed Fiat Money, but these were supposedly based on the Faith and Credit of the US Government and were issued by the Government. You could not exchange them for anything, but another US Note and a knowing smile they were really worthless. The real money Silver Certificates were going away no matter what. JFK was OK with that. He was just cutting out the Fed as a middle man who took a cut of the pie.
The last silver certificates were issued in 1964, shortly after Kennedy's assassination, but the legislation to end them and silver coins had already been passed and signed two years prior to that.
In 1965, the last 90% silver coins were minted.
By 1968, no more silver certificates could be redeemed for coin silver or bullion at all. They could only be exchanged for Federal Reserve Notes currency and the Federally licensed banks who got them were instructed to send them to the Treasury for destruction.
Kennedy DID order the printing of United States Notes which could be issued into circulation without being borrowed from the Federal Reserve Banks. . . which he apparently intended to substitute for Federal Reserve Notes which had to be borrowed into existence at a discount, creating a liability entry for the US Government. The US Notes Kennedy ordered were the largest printing of such notes (there had been more) ever ordered. It was an existential threat to the Fed. I think they took steps to end that threat.
Nixon finally took the US completely off the gold standard on August 15, 1971, IIRC, although some put that as late as 1973 when the Dollar became the oil standard... or even 1976 when the value of the dollar was decoupled completely from gold and allowed to float in relation to all other currencies in the world.
