"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to
destroy the Americans freedom and before I leave office I must inform the
Citizen of his plight." PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY(10 days before he was
murdered)
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order
11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve
Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at
interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the
privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The
Christian Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter
through the Federal Register and Library of Congress and can now safely
conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or
superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still
valid.
When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy - the author of Profiles in
Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government,
specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and
issue currency -money - without going through the privately owned Federal
Reserve Bank.
President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed
further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority:
"to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or
standard silver dollars in the Treasury."
This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the
government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver
bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United
States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10
and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by
the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated. It appears obvious
that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the
purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United
States of America. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and
debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury.
In the illustrations below, a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the
private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a
Federal Reserve System), is compared with a "United States Note" from the
U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost
look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the
other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green
seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and
serial number.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United
States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation.
Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the
nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper
"currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely
circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.
This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and
the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value. Executive Order 11110
should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level
(virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created
since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would
have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its
debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged
interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the
ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and real value
worth something.
Again, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the
Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were
subsequently removed from circulation.
Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future
presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over
the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy
challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true
patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that
have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Vietnam); and, 2) the creation
of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts to have all U.S.
troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive Order 11110 would have
destroyed the profits and control of the private Federal Reserve Bank.
Executive Order 11110
AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 10289
AS AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF
CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of the
United States Code, it is ordered as follows:
SECTION 1. Executive Order No. 10289 of September 19, 1951, as amended, is
hereby further amended -
(a) By adding at the end of paragraph 1 thereof the following
subparagraph (j):
"(j) The authority vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section
43 of the Act of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue
silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver
dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding
silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver
certificates, and to coin standard silver dollars and subsidiary silver
currency for their redemption," and
(b) By revoking subparagraphs (b) and (c) of paragraph 2 thereof.
SECTION 2. The amendment made by this Order shall not affect any act done,
or any right accruing or accrued or any suit or proceeding had or commenced
in any civil or criminal cause prior to the date of this Order but all such
liabilities shall continue and may be enforced as if said amendments had not
been made.
JOHN F. KENNEDY
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 4, 1963
Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title 3, United States
Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998:
Executive Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as
amended by:
EO 10583, dated December 18, 1954, 19 F.R. 8725;
EO 10882 dated July 18, 1960, 25 F.R. 6869;
EO 11110 dated June 4, 1963, 28 F.R. 5605;
EO 11825 dated December 31, 1974, 40 F.R. 1003;
EO 12608 dated September 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617
The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy's 1963 amendment, did not
change or alter any part of Kennedy's EO 11110. A search of Clinton's 1998
and 1999 EO's and Presidential Directives has also shown no reference to any
alterations, suspensions, or changes to EO 11110.
The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private
Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve System" as:
"Network of twelve central banks to which most national banks belong and to
which state chartered banks may belong. Membership rules require investment
of stock and minimum reserves."
Privately-owned banks own the stock of the FED. This was explained in more
detail in the case of Lewis v. United States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series,
Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241 (1982), where the court said:
"Each Federal Reserve Bank is a separate corporation owned by commercial
banks in its region. The stock-holding commercial banks elect two thirds of
each Bank's nine member board of directors".
The Federal Reserve Banks are locally controlled by their member banks.
Once again, according to Black's Law Dictionary, we find that these
privately owned banks actually issue money:
"Federal Reserve Act. Law which created Federal Reserve banks which act
as agents in maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank
notes, lending money to banks, and supervising banks. Administered by
Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)".
The privately owned Federal Reserve (FED) banks actually issue (create) the
"money" we use. In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency,
Subcommittee on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th
Congress, put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good
description of what the FED is:
"The Federal Reserve is a total money-making machine. It can issue money or
checks. And it never has a problem of making its checks good because it can
obtain the $5 and $10 bills necessary to cover its check simply by asking
the Treasury Department's Bureau of Engraving to print them".
Any one person or any closely knit group who has a lot of money has a lot
of power. Now imagine a group of people who have the power to create money.
Imagine the power these people would have. This is exactly what the
privately owned FED is!
No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden, who
was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the 1930s. In
describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages
1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932:
"Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions
the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board and the
Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve Board, a Government Board, has
cheated the Government of the United States and he people of the United
States out of enough money to pay the national debt. The depredations and
the iniquities of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks
acting together have cost this country enough money to pay the national debt
several times over. This evil institution has impoverished and ruined the
people of the United States; has bankrupted itself, and has practically
bankrupted our Government. It has done this through the mal-administration
of that law by which the Federal Reserve Board, and through the corrupt
practices of the moneyed vultures who control it".
Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States Government
institutions. They are not Government institutions, departments, or
agencies. They are private credit monopolies which prey upon the people of
the United States for the benefit of themselves and their foreign customers.
Those 12 private credit monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country
by bankers who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality
by undermining our American institutions.
The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power to
create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it back to the
government charging interest. The government levies income taxes to pay the
interest on the debt. On this point, it's interesting to note that the
Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth amendment, which gave congress the
power to collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The incredible
power of the FED over the economy is universally admitted. Some people,
especially in the banking and academic communities, even support it. On the
other hand, there are those, such as President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, that
have spoken out against it. His efforts were spoken about in Jim Marrs' 1990
book Crossfire:
"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 11110 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. That same day, Kennedy signed a bill
changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding
strength to the weakened U.S. currency.
Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds
with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader
investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal
Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could
underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the
dominant Federal Reserve banks".
In a speech made to Columbia University on Nov. 12, 1963, ten days before
his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said: "The high office
of the President has been used to foment a plot to destroy the American's
freedom and before I leave office, I must inform the citizen of this
plight."
In this matter, John Fitzgerald Kennedy appears to be the subject of his
own book... a true Profile of Courage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to the Constitution of the United States, (Article 1 Section 8),
only Congress has the authority to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof,
and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures.
However, since 1913 this Amendment has not been followed. In 1913, the
Federal Reserve System was created, giving a private owned corporation the
authority to "create" and coin the money of United States. The Federal
Reserve is comprised of 12 private credit monopolies who have been given the
authority to control the supply of the "Federal Reserve Notes", interest
rates and all the other monetary and banking phenomena.
The way the Federal Reserve works is this: 12 private credit monopolies
"create", (or print), Federal Reserve Notes which are lent to the American
government. The government granted its power to create money to the FED
banks. They create money, then loan it back to the government charging
interests. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest on the
debt. It is interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the
sixteenth amendment which gave congress the power to collect income taxes,
were both passed in 1913. The Federal Reserve Notes are not backed by
anything of "intrinsic" value. (i.e. gold or silver).
On June 4, 1963, President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed the Presidential
decree, Executive Order 11110, which stripped the Federal Reserve Banking
System of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at
interest. This decree meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S.
Treasury's vault, the U.S. government could introduce new money into
circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result,
more than $4 trillion in United States Notes were brought into circulation
in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never
circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy
was assassinated.
Kennedy knew that if the silver backed United States Notes were widely
circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.
Thus giving the U.S. Treasury the Constitutional authority to coin U.S.
money once again, thus preventing the national debt from rising due to
"usury" that the American people are charged for "borrowing" the FRN's.
Only 5 months after Executive Order 11110 was signed, President Kennedy was
assassinated. Five months later, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver
Certificates" were issued and they were subsequently removed from
circulation. Kennedy knew that if Congress coined and regulated money, as
the Constitution states, the national debt would be reduced by not paying
interest to the 12 credit monopolies. This in itself would have allowed the
American people freedom of money that they earned, enabling the economy to
grow.
It is interesting to note that Executive Order 11110 is still in effect,
though no U.S. President has followed it. The Bible states, "through lack
of knowledge, my people perish". As American people, it is our duty to
question the Federal Reserve System, and the power that we have given them..
"When the federal government is held to its proper constitutionally
limited functions, tax reform will take care of itself." --Rep. Ron Paul.

System of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at
interest. This decree meant that for every ounce of silver in the U.S.
Treasury's vault, the U.S. government could introduce new money into
circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result,
more than $4 trillion in United States Notes were brought into circulation
in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never
circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy
was assassinated.
Kennedy knew that if the silver backed United States Notes were widely
circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.
Thus giving the U.S. Treasury the Constitutional authority to coin U.S.
money once again, thus preventing the national debt from rising due to
"usury" that the American people are charged for "borrowing" the FRN's.
Only 5 months after Executive Order 11110 was signed, President Kennedy was
assassinated. Five months later, no more of the Series 1958 "Silver
Certificates" were issued and they were subsequently removed from
circulation. Kennedy knew that if Congress coined and regulated money, as
the Constitution states, the national debt would be reduced by not paying
interest to the 12 credit monopolies. This in itself would have allowed the
American people freedom of money that they earned, enabling the economy to
grow.
It is interesting to note that Executive Order 11110 is still in effect,
though no U.S. President has followed it. The Bible states, "through lack
of knowledge, my people perish". As American people, it is our duty to
question the Federal Reserve System, and the power that we have given them..
"When the federal government is held to its proper constitutionally
limited functions, tax reform will take care of itself." --Rep. Ron Paul.
