I read an article years ago and Arlene Specter was like a gofer in those days......I really think he helped carry out the assassination.
When I read the article a feeling came over me that somehow he was involved??
don't mean he pulled the trigger.....only he seemed to be around in all the right places before, during, and after and the various rolls he played!
The Warren Commission and the Magic Bullet theory!
He just seem to be around when things needed to be tidy up!
It seemed that JFK was interfering with things that could get you killed....
Executive Order 1110 gave the US the ability to create its own money backed by silver. ...
On June 4, 1963, a little known attempt was made to strip the Federal Reserve 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.

Felt Broke the Law Just Like Nixon?

That is certainly something to think about.
As far as I know the only time silver and gold became a major political issue was in the election of 1896, Bryan vs McKinley. Bryan's famous "Cross of Gold" speech is about that very subject. But that was at least a decade before Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act.
Coin and currency is a tiny fraction of the American money supply. A much larger portion is made up of 'bank money'- book entries on bank ledgers, and an even greater portion is held as Treasury issues. Creating a dollar for every ounce of silver in the world wouldn't increase the money supply as fast as Congress simply raising the debt limit which authorizes the Treasury to issue more notes.
"Stripping the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the government at interest" doesn't make sense. Anyone who buys a T bill or a savings bond is "loaning money to the government at interest". Any individual, bank, corporation, or foreign government could have purchased Treasury issues and "loaned money to the government at interest". If the Fed was banned from purchasing Treasury debt it would have prevented the Fed from monetizing the debt, but that's hardly the stuff of assassinations. The Fed is now prohibited from buying newly issued Treasury paper, which accomplishes much the same thing, and we haven't seen an assassination to mark the occasion.
As for JFK wishing to leave South Vietnam, that's standing history on its head. The speech he was to give the afternoon he was shot reiterates our need to support South Vietnam:
"About 70 percent of our military assistance goes to nine key countries located on or near the borders of the Communist bloc--nine countries confronted directly or indirectly with the threat of Communist aggression--Viet-Nam, Free China, Korea, India, Pakistan, Thailand, Greece, Turkey, and Iran. No one of these countries possesses on its own the resources to maintain the forces which our own Chiefs of Staff think needed in the common interest. Reducing our efforts to train, equip, and assist their armies can only encourage Communist penetration and require in time the increased overseas deployment of American combat forces. And reducing the economic help needed to bolster these nations that undertake to help defend freedom can have the same disastrous result. In short, the $50 billion we spend each year on our own defense could well be ineffective without the $4 billion required for military and economic assistance."

As you can see Vietnam is first on the list. Not one month before this Kennedy managed to get President Diem overthrown and assassinated, although assassination may not have been intended. Kennedy simply wanted the troublesome Diem out of the way. With Diem dead Vietnam was leaderless and our responsibility. When JFK took office there were a few hundred military advisors in Vietnam, by the time of his death there were over 16,000, one being a very close relative of mine. The claim that JFK had any intention of leaving is pure invention unsupported by what his administration was doing right up to the day he died.
