JFK and the Federal Reserve - A Historical Perspective

[Adele Edisen]

Louis T. McFadden (1876-1936), a Republican, and U.S. Representative from Pennsylvania, a banker, and Chairman of the House Banking and Currency Committee, tried to get rid of the Federal Reserve System. He was shot at, and poisoned at a banquet where he was the only victim. His biography on Wikipedia appears below:

This is his speech to the House of Representatives in 1932:

Franklin Delano Roosevelt was also critical of the Federal Reserve System, as was John F. Kennedy, who issued an Executive Order that replaced government-printed Federal Reserve Notes with interest-free "United States Notes." Wall Street bankers participated in the attempt to overthrow President Roosevelt in 1933-34, and President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas five months after he issued his Executive Order No.11110 on June 4, 1963.

Thanks for this Adele. I am sure we have some other posts about EO 11110 but I was unable to find it on a quick search. I am sure McFadden's interference with the bankers was a cause of his death, it does have their finger prints all over it, but it seems he was also a right piece of work and there may have been quite a long queue of willing shooters. hock:

I recall reading somewhere, although that "somewhere" escapes me now, that Josef Stalin either told, or tried to tell Eleanor Roosevelt that to him FDR appeared to have been poisoned when he died. I assume JS developed his opinion when viewing FDR's remains. FWIW, and posted here as it relates to this thread.

[size=12]WHO KILLED FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT?
February 9, 1986 issue of the nationwide Sunday Supplement magazine "PARADE."
[/SIZE][size=12]By Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, USAF [Ret][/SIZE][size=12]

[size=12]The World War II Cairo conference between Pres. Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek ended on Oct. 26, 1943. That evening I was given orders to fly a group of participants from Cairo to Tehran. Up to that time, I had not been aware that there was going to be a Big Four meeting of the Super-Powers in Tehran.

As I went out to the plane that morning to get it ready to go, two limousines came from the city. They were T. V. Soong's Chinese delegates. I flew them to Tehran that day.

En route, I stopped at Habbaniyah in Iraq for refueling, and while on the ground an Air Force B-25 arrived with an old friend of mine flying it, and with Col. Elliott Roosevelt, the President's son. I introduced him and Roosevelt to the Chinese, and vice versa.

I don't know whether any of you ever realized this, but years later the fact that Elliott Roosevelt had gone to the Tehran conference brought up one of the most amazing untold facts in our history. I can only imagine why more had not been written about it.

Because Elliott had met Stalin in Tehran with his father in 1943, in late 1946, Gardner Cowless, publisher of LOOK magazine asked him to go to Moscow to interview Stalin.

Roosevelt accepted this offer and did interview Stalin there. At the end of a long interview, he turned to the Generalissimo and asked one more question, "Why is it that my mother has never been permitted to visit Moscow even though she has made three very formal applications for the trip?"

Stalin glared at Elliott and said, "You don't know why?"

Elliott replied, "No!"

Quickly, Stalin responded, "Don't you know who killed your father?"

Roosevelt-shocked-answered, "No."

Stalin rising from his chair, continued, "Well, I'll tell you why I have not invited her here. As soon as your father died, I asked my ambassador in Washington to go immediately to Georgia with a request to view the body." Stalin believed that if Gromyko could see the body he would confirm that the cerebral hemorrhage that had caused his death had caused extensive discoloration and distortion.

Elliot responded that he knew nothing about that and then Stalin said, "Your mother refused to permit the lid of the coffin to be opened so that my ambassador could see the body." Adding "I sent him there three times trying to impress upon your mother that it was very important for him to view the President's body. She never accepted that. I have never forgiven her."

This forced Elliott to ask this last question, "…but why?"

Stalin took a few steps around the office, and almost in a rage roared, "They poisoned your father, of course, just as they have tried repeatedly to poison me."

"They? Who are they?" Elliot asked

"The Churchill gang!" Stalin roared, "They poisoned your father, and they continue to try to poison me…the Churchill gang!"

I had heard, while in Tehran, that Roosevelt and Churchill had had a strenuous argument in front of Stalin and Chiang during the conference on the subject of decolonialization of South East Asia. I have read it in a government publication of the time. Then, this account of Elliott's visit to Moscow in 1946 was written and signed by him and appeared in the February 9, 1986 issue of the nationwide Sunday Supplement magazine "PARADE."

We all know that there are amazing stories that can not be found in the history books. That is what I am saying here. Most students have not been able to learn that Chiang Kai-shek was a member of this Four Power Conference in Tehran. But, I was there. I had flown the Chinese delegates there from Cairo, and I have read it in a Congressional Committee Report, "The U. S. Government and Vietnam" Part 1-1945-1951" by the U. S. Government Printing Office, 1984.

Both sources have been in the public domain for more than 10 years. Why haven't we seen them, on campus, in the History books and in classes?

In 1953, in a toast before the New York Press Club, John Swinton, former Chief of Staff of the New York Times and the "Dean of his Profession" stated: (part extracted)

"If I allowed my honest opinions to appear in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation would be gone. The business of journalists is to destroy the truth; to pervert; to vilify; to fawn at the feet of mammon, and to sell this country and this race for their daily bread. We are the tools and vessels for rich men behind the scenes. We are the jumping jacks, they pull the strings and we dance. Our talents, our possibilities and our lives are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

From my own experience, I know that there are countless journalists who could say that. Just consider what they said about Oliver Stone's Film "JFK" and about my own book "JFK, the CIA, Vietnam and the Plot to Assassinate John F. Kennedy."

Magda, Yes, McFadden was right-wingish and anti-semitic. He quoted Father Couglin, a rabid Catholic priest and a radio broadcaster who was the "Rush Limbaugh" of those times. But his narrative of the Federal Reserve Act on how it came to be written and then passed in the Senate and signed into law by President Woodrow Wilson, and the harm it did (and stll does), is quite accurate. President Wilson, when he realized what he had done, apologized to the American people.

I had seen references to a suspicion of FDR's death. but never realized that Colonel Fletcher Prouty, a reliable source, had knowledge of it. Thanks, Greg.

I am also aware that the death of Henry B. Gonzales, U.S. Representative from Texas, and Chairman of the House Banking Committee, was questioned. Stay tuned while I do some background Google research.

I recall at the time that he had come home to San Antonio because of an infection which he could not get rid of. Someone close to him expressed their suspicions, and it had to do with his then-recent Banking Committee work..

You're welcome, Adele. I'll call you later...

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -- Woodrow Wilson

I wonder if Roosevelt could be exhumed to see if modern high tech could detect any poisons?

I wonder if Roosevelt could be exhumed to see if modern high tech could detect any poisons?

That could solve the mystery, but it would take a LOT OF EFFORT and PRESSURE to do it. There would be a lot of opposition, I would think. The only way I could conceive of it happening would be if there were a very important reason for the current powers-that-be to get some sort of political advantage and power from having it done.

Aren't political murders often "solved" by having patsies to blame, victims with heart attacks or strokes which seem natural, and "accidents."?
