On the anniversary of JFK\u2019s birthday, an edited video of the April 27, 1961 speech \u201cthat got John F. Kennedy Killed\u201d was making its way around the Internet [1]:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system that has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.<\/p>\n
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed.” [1]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It was hard to miss JFK\u2019s veiled reference to the Skull and Bones society at Yale University, a branch of the Bavarian Illuminati, the Bilderbergers, CFR and the other secret societies that rule the world from behind the scenes, The Powers That Be (TPTB).<\/p>\n
G. William Domhoff, a Research Professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz first coined the non-conspiracy acronym TPTB<\/em>. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Miami. He has been teaching at the University of California, Santa Cruz, since 1965. Four of his books are among the top 50 best sellers in sociology for the years 1950 to 1995: Who Rules America? (1967); The Higher Circles (1970); Who Rules America Now? (1983); and the non-“conspiracy” critique and theory of the U.S. power structure, The Powers That Be (TPTB) in 1979.<\/p>\n
[Excerpt<\/strong> from “Bones” in the Money Pit<\/a><\/p>\n
Our consumer society didn\u2019t just happen; it was planned. Not in 1910, or 1954, but in the year 1832, the year William Huntington Russell and fellow classmate Alphonso Taft founded the Skull and Bones society at Yale University, a branch of the Bavarian Illuminati.<\/p>\n
Members, known as \u201cBonesmen,\u201d include Rockefeller, Kuhn, Loeb and Morgan all connected to the House of Rothschild\u2019s global financial empire. They are founders of the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, France, and Germany or, for that matter, any central bank anywhere in the world. In theory, the Federal Reserve Act of 1913, one of the most important domestic acts in the nation\u2019s history, took the power to create money from the people and gave it to the Bonesmen for profit.<\/p>\n
Russ Baker’s new book, \u201cFamily of Secrets: the Bush Dynasty, the Powerful Forces That Put It in the White House, And What Their Influence Means for America,” is about George H. W. Bush\u2019s secret intelligence work with the CIA many years before he became the Agency\u2019s director. Bush Sr. had played a powerful but hidden role in determining the direction of the U.S. government.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
It’s common knowledge that the Bushes sit at the intersection of America’s business and intelligence communities, but it not so common knowledge that the Bush Family, Bush Sr., Jr. and grandfather Prescott Bush, were all Bonesmen. Prescott Bush\u2019s initiation in 1918 is said to have included robbing the grave of the Native American warrior, Geronimo. Prescott Bush helped Henry Ford, Averell Harriman and others finance Adolph Hitler.<\/p>\n
Russ Baker suggests the strong possibility that Bush Sr. was connected to the assassination of President Kennedy because \u201cLyndon Johnson would be more obedient to Texas oil men. [2]<\/p>\n
A more plausible connection is Abraham Lincoln was killed for the Legal Tender Act of 1862 and Kennedy for Executive Order 11110 (the CIA has been exonerated [3]).<\/p>\n
Lincoln\u2019s \u201cgreenbacks\u201d would have prevented the Federal Reserve from creating $500 trillion of money out of thin air, money that Warren Buffett and Market watch say financed our global consumer society.<\/p>\n
And, JFK\u2019s “United States notes” backed by silver, which were withdrawn the day he was shot, would have put the Federal Reserve out of business and returned to the Treasury Department the Constitutional power to create and issue a debt-free currency.<\/p>\n
Anyone who spoke against the \u201cCreature from Jekyll Island\u201d (Federal Reserve banking cartel exposed by G. Edward Griffin) was silenced. Presidents Garfield and McKinley, outspoken champions of \u201csound\u201d money and a central bank, were silenced permanently.<\/p>\n
John Sherman, a Rothschild prot\u00e9g\u00e9 in a letter sent to New York bankers on June 25, 1863 in support of the then proposed National Banking Act, wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe few who understand the system, will either be so interested in its profits, or so dependent on its favors that there will be no opposition from that class, while on the other hand, the great body of people, mentally incapable of comprehending the tremendous advantages…will bear its burden without complaint, and perhaps without suspecting that the system is inimical to their best interests.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Directly and indirectly, the Bonesmen orchestrated the Industrial Revolution, the Great Depression, the stagflation of the 1970\u2019s and the dot-com and the housing market bubbles.<\/p>\n
One of the more absurd notions that has found its way into the history books and the writings of economic experts is that somehow these men were made wealthier from the Monopoly money they printed, the same money that enabled consumers to buy houses, second houses, cars, RVs, TVs and DVDs, i.e., the cheap \u201cstuff\u201d we use on a daily basis. Let\u2019s not forget the fact that in 1910 these men already controlled one-sixth of the world\u2019s wealth. And that was real wealth\u2014gold, silver and raw materials\u2014not the fiat currency we call money. Don\u2019t forget the world they owned and controlled in 1910 had a mostly balanced ecology.<\/p>\n
The Skull and Bones society and the Federal Reserve were critical to the growth of our industrial and consumer society, but responsible for much of the financial and environmental damage done to the planet.<\/p>\n
We perceive our Country as a constitutional republic, a government representative of the people and accountable to them; but it now seems that premise is nothing more than an illusionary, sentimental belief. [End of excerpt]<\/strong><\/p>\n
Consider Another Assassination Conspiracy Theory<\/strong><\/p>\n
Few would deny JFK was talking about TPTB when he used the words, \u201cmonolithic and ruthless conspiracy.\u201d<\/p>\n
What if, after the Bay of Pigs fiasco, his investigation uncovered the \u201csecret\u201d that TPTB are in a metaphysical struggle with Mother-Earth (Gaea) and the environmental damage and pollution was the goal and not the unintended consequences of the Industrial Revolution and our consumer society?<\/p>\n
And it is conceivable when in 1961 JFK spoke about a:<\/p>\n
\u201cSystem which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations.<\/p>\n
Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, and no secret is revealed.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
He was referring to a system that wasn\u2019t about money. Instead he understood that the resources of the planet were about to be consumed \u2013 as in \u201cused up\u201d because he understood the metaphysical struggle.<\/p>\n
Then when he realized we were about to be \u201dconned,\u201d into shopping for stuff to trash the planet, he signed Executive Order 11110 as a first step to put us on the road to sustainability.<\/p>\n
An earlier part of the speech edited out of the video, \u201cthat got John F. Kennedy Killed\u201d and evoked laughter from the audience and could have a double meaning:<\/p>\n
\u201cIf only this capitalistic New York newspaper had treated him (Karl Marx) more kindly; if only Marx had remained a foreign correspondent, history might have been different.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What would a different history look like?<\/p>\n
The United States, in its first decades, was a land of small farms and nearby towns with few cities of any consequence. The young nation seemed far more interested in becoming a successful experiment in democracy, rather than an economic power. The Bank of the Fed is Closed\u2026Forever<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
\u201cBones in the Money Pit\u201d ends with a reference to the country, the despot and ideology that some claim is the reason he was assassinated, Cuba, Castro and Communism. [4]<\/p>\n
