JFK vs the Banks Myth Busted

Postby Masato » Thu May 18, 2017 1:12 pm

Hey all

GREAT vid here

James Corbett, whom I have consistently found to be an absolutely excellent researcher, chats with G Edward Griffin about the whole JFK vs the Federal Reserve story

Conspiracy corners have paraded for years a tale that JFK was going to challenge the fed and offer an alternative debt-free, silver-backed currency through Executive Order 11110, and that this challenge on the banks was a major motive behind his killing.

Well according to the research of Griffin and Corbett, they both claim confidence that that story is a myth. Not only is it a myth, but in fact the complete OPPOSITE was the case;

JFK was actually playing right into the bankers hands. He was actually taking silver OFF the market for currency, and was handing some authority about issuing money directly over to known bankers.

Anyways, they explain it way better than I could. Have a listen:

Another really great part of this vid is that after they break down the basics of this JFK vs Banks myth, they discuss the dangers of MISINFORMATION WITHIN THE CONSPIRACY COMMUNITY.

They say always question authority, even 'authorities' like Griffin and Corbett themselves or others we may choose to follow.

They say beware how much MISinformation exists out there in the CT community, and to always be aware that we are only human and sometimes fall down the wrong rabbit hole. That we can often get excited about a quote, or a story that sounds great and supports our world view, but, like the JFK vs Banks myth, may turn out to be totally false.

Have humility in our search for truth, have the guts to eat some crow now and then and admit when we picked up a bad seed, and have the wisdom to discard things as we learn more, even if they are key cornerstones to our world views.

Excellent vid.

Oh yeah, they also break down the famous speech we've heard a million times from JFK about conspiracy and secret societies etc

Corbett and Griffin say that most of the sources we've likely heard this audio from have cherry-picked small portions of a larger speech, and that if you listen to the whole thing it is clear that these snippets used by CTers was JFK making reference to Russian groups, and not his own gov't.

I have not yet confirmed this for myself but Corbett's word is good enough for me to fence that issue until I do.

Some other interesting bits about JFK being educated as a total globalist/socialist

Great stuff

This is all not to slander JFK or whatever else he did that might merit the admiration he gets from CT communities and researchers...

Griffin said CTers were ready to lynch him after he revealed these facts, lol People make JFK out to be a martyred saint and don't wanna hear anything that tarnishes their godly image of him. This is dangerous thinking imo

JFK assassination is still a legit topic to research, but its nice that if Corbett and Griffin are right, we can at least eliminate one of many possible motives for his killing.

Anyways here is Nixon smiling giddishly at the idea that LBJ killed Kennedy. Make of it what you will, lol

Fun little fact: the term 'conspiracy theorist' originated because people questioned JFK's assassination.

The term 'racist' originated because some people didn't fully support communism in the early 1900s.

Ain't language grand?

I never bought the bank story. There was never any evidence of him wanting to go after the Fed or change the US currency system.
