JFK plot to dismantle the Federal Reserve

Executive Order 11110, signed by John F Kennedy on June 4 1963, delegated to the Secretary of the Treasury the authority to issue silver certificates against existing silver bullion held by the Treasury. Within five months Kennedy was dead, and adherents argue the order represented a fatal challenge to the Federal Reserve System and Rothschild banking interests.

Researchers including economist Edward Flaherty have noted the order actually facilitated phasing out silver certificates following the Silver Purchase Repeal Act of June 4 1963 (signed the same day), the opposite of what the conspiracy reading claims. EO 11110 was never rescinded; it became moot when silver-backing was eliminated.

The theory was popularized by Jim Marrs in 'Crossfire' (1989) and amplified by Alex Jones, G Edward Griffin's 'Creature from Jekyll Island', and others in the audit-the-Fed movement.
