Actually, the real threat started six months before, when JFK started the process of taking the power away from the Federal Reserve (BTW, which is a privately owned entity).

"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 (4.3 trillion) 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."
