President John F.Kennedy,
The _Federal Reserve_ (http://www.federal/)
And Executive Order 11110

by Cedric X

From The Final Call, Vol. 15, No.6, On January 17, 1996
On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the _Federal
Reserve_ (http://www.federal- reserve.net/) Bank of its power to loan money to the
government at interest. On that day President John F. Kennedy signed
Executive Order No. 11110 that returned to the U.S. government the power to issue
currency, without going through the Federal Reserve. Mr. Kennedy's order gave
the Treasury the power "to issue silver certificates against any silver
bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury." This meant that for
every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the government could
introduce new money into circulation. In all, Kennedy brought nearly $4.3 billion
in U.S. notes into circulation. The ramifications of this bill are enormous.
With the stroke of a pen, Mr. Kennedy was on his way to putting the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York out of business. If enough of these silver
certificats were to come into circulation they would have eliminated the demand for
Federal Reserve notes. This is because the silver certificates are backed by
silver and the Federal Reserve notes are not backed by anything. Executive
Order 11110 could have prevented the national debt from reaching its current
level, because it would have given the gevernment the ability to repay its debt
without going to the Federal Reserve and being charged interest in order to
create the new money. Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S. the ability to create
its own money backed by silver.
After Mr. Kennedy was assassinated just five months later, no more silver
certificates were issued. The Final Call has learned that the Executive Order
was never repealed by any U.S. President through an Executive Order and is
still valid. Why then has no president utilized it? Virtually all of the nearly
$6 trillion in debt has been created since 1963, and if a U.S. president had
utilized Executive Order 11110 the debt would be nowhere near the current
level. Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to future presidents who
would think to eliminate the U.S. debt by eliminating the Federal Reserve's
control over the creation of money. Mr. Kennedy challenged the government of
money by challenging the two most successful vehicles that have ever been used
to drive up debt - war and the creation of money by a privately-owned central
bank. His efforts to have all troops out of Vietnam by 1965 and Executive
Order 11110 would have severely cut into the profits and control of the New
York banking establishment. As America's debt reaches unbearable levels and a
conflict emerges in Bosnia that will further increase America's debt, one is
force to ask, will President Clinton have the courage to consider utilizing
Executive Order 11110 and, if so, is he willing to pay the ultimate price for
doing so?

John F. Kennedy The White House, June 4, 1963.
Of course, the fact that both JFK and Lincoln met the the same end is a mere
coincidence.
Abraham Lincoln's Monetary Policy, 1865 (Page 91 of Senate document 23.)
Money is the creature of law and the creation of the original issue of money
should be maintained as the exclusive monopoly of national Government.
Money possesses no value to the State other than that given to it by
circulation.
Capital has its proper place and is entitled to every protection. The wages
of men should be recognised in the structure of and in the social order as
more important than the wages of money.
No duty is more imperative for the Government than the duty it owes the
People to furnish them with a sound and uniform currency, and of regulating the
circulation of the medium of exchange so that labour will be protected from a
vicious currency, and commerce will be facilitated by cheap and safe
exchanges.
The available supply of Gold and Silver being wholly inadequate to permit
the issuance of coins of intrinsic value or paper currency convertible into
coin in the volume required to serve the needs of the People, some other basis
for the issue of currency must be developed, and some means other than that of
convertibility into coin must be developed to prevent undue fluctuation in
the value of paper currency or any other substitute for money of intrinsic
value that may come into use.
The monetary needs of increasing numbers of People advancing towards higher
standards of living can and should be met by the Government. Such needs can
be served by the issue of National Currency and Credit through the operation
of a National Banking system .The circulation of a medium of exchange issued
and backed by the Government can be properly regulated and redundancy of issue
avoided by withdrawing from circulation such amounts as may be necessary by
Taxation, Redeposit, and otherwise. Government has the power to regulate the
currency and creditof the Nation.
Government should stand behind its currency and credit and the Bank deposits
of the Nation. No individual should suffer a loss of money through
depreciation or inflated currency or Bank bankruptcy.
Government possessing the power to create and issue currency and creditas
money and enjoying the right to withdraw both currency and credit from
circulation by Taxation and otherwise need not and should not borrow capital at
interest as a means of financing Governmental work and public enterprise. The
Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed
to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of the
consumers. The privilege of creating and issueing money is not only the
supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Governments greatest creative
opportunity.
By the adoption of these principles the long felt want for a uniform medium
will be satisfied. The taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest,
discounts, and exchanges. The financing of all public enterprise, the maintenance
of stable Government and ordered progress, and the conduct of the Treasury
will become matters of practical administration. The people can and will be
furnished with a currency as safe as their own Government. Money will cease to
be master and become the servant of humanity. Democracy will rise superior to
the money power.
Some information on the Federal Reserve The Federal Reserve, a Private
Corporation One of the most common concerns among people who engage in any effort
to reduce their taxes is, "Will keeping my money hurt the government's
ability to pay it's bills?" As explained in the first article in this series, the
modern withholding tax does not, and wasn't designed to, pay for government
services. What it does do, is pay for the privately-owned Federal Reserve
System.
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.
Similarly, the Federal Reserve Banks, though heavily regulated, are locally
controlled by their member banks. Taking another look at 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 FED banks, which are privately owned, actually issue, that is, 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.
As we all know, anyone 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 what the 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. Constantly
pointing out that monetary issues shouldn't be partisan, he criticized both
the Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt administrations. In describing the
Fed, he remarked in the Congressional Record, House pages 1295 and 1296 on
June 10, 1932, that:
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
enoughmoney 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
UnitedStates; has bankrupted itself, and has practically bankrupted our Government. It
has done this through the maladministration 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. They are private credit
monopolies which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit of
themselves and their foreign customers; foreign and domestic speculators and
swindlers; and rich and predatory money lenders. In that dark crew of financial
pirates there are those who would cut a man's throat to get a dollar out of
his pocket; there are those who send money into States to buy votes to control
our legislation; and there are those who maintain an international
propaganda for the purpose of deceiving us and of wheedling us into the granting of
new concessions which will permit them to cover up their past misdeeds and set
again in motion their gigantic train of crime. Those 12 private credit
monopolies were deceitfully and disloyally foisted upon this country by bankers who
camehere 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,
both in the past and in the present, that speak out against it. One of these
men was President John F. Kennedy. His efforts were detailed 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 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. 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.
A number of "Kennedy bills" were indeed issued - the author has a five
dollar bill in his possession with the heading "United States Note" - but were
quickly withdrawn after Kennedy's death. According to information from the
Library of the Comptroller of the Currency, Executive Order 11,110 remains in
effect today, although successive administrations beginning with that of
President Lyndon Johnson apparently have simply ignored it and instead returned to
the practice of paying interest on Federal Reserve notes. Today we continue to
use Federal Reserve Notes, and the deficit is at an all-time high.
The point being made is that the IRS taxes you pay aren't used for
government services. It won't hurt you, or the nation, to legally reduce or eliminate
your tax liability.
