On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive
Order 11110, was signed by President John Fitzgerald Kennedy with
the intention to strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to
loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest.
With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately
owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. This matter
has been exhaustively researched by the Christian Common Law Institute
through the Federal Register and Library of Congress, and the Institute
has conclude that President Kennedy's Executive Order has never
been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive
Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.
When John Fitzgerald Kennedy, author of Profiles in Courage, signed
this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically
to the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and
issue currency -- money -- without going through the privately owned
Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy's Executive Order 11110
gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: "to issue
silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard
silver dollars in the Treasury" [the full text is displayed
below]. This means that for every ounce of silver in the U.S. Treasury's
vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation
based on the silver bullion physically held therein. As a result,
more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation
in $2 and $5 denominations. Although $10 and $20 United States Notes
were never circulated, they were being printed by the Treasury Department
when Kennedy was assassinated.
Certainly it's obvious that President Kennedy knew that the Federal
Reserve Notes being circulated as "legal currency" were
contrary to the Constitution of the United States, which calls for
issuance of "United States Notes" as interest-free and
debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury.
Comparing a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the private
central bank of the United States (i.e., the Federal Reserve Bank
a/k/a Federal Reserve System), with a "United States Note"
from the U.S. Treasury (as issued by President Kennedy's Executive
Order), the two almost look alike, except one says "Federal
Reserve Note" on the top while the other says "United
States Note". In addition, the Federal Reserve Note has a green
seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal
and serial number. Following President Kennedy's assassination on
November 22, 1963, the United States Notes he had issued were immediately
taken out of circulation, and Federal Reserve Notes continued to
serve as the "legal currency" of the nation.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were
widely circulated, they would eliminated the demand for Federal
Reserve Notes. This is a simple matter of economics. USNs were backed
by silver and FRNs were (still are) backed by nothing of intrinsic
value. As a result of Executive Order 11110, the national debt would
have prevented from reaching its current level (almost all of the
$9 trillion in federal debt has been created since 1963). Executive
Order 11110 also granted the U.S. Government the power to repay
past debt without further borrowing from the privately owned Federal
Reserve which charged both principle and interest and all new "money"
it "created." Finally, Executive Order 11110 gave the
U.S.A. the ability to create its own money backed by silver, again
giving money real value.
Perhaps President Kennedy's assassination was a warning to future
presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control
over the creation of money. For, with true courage, JFK had boldly
challenged the two most successful vehicles that have ever been
used to drive up debt: 1) war (i.e., the Vietnam war); and, 2) the
creation of money by a privately owned central bank. His efforts
to have all U.S. troops out of Vietnam by 1965 combined with Executive
Order 11110 would have destroyed the profits and control of the
private Federal Reserve Bank.
Executive Order 11110, the AMENDMENT of EXECUTIVE ORDER No.
10289, as amended RELATING to the PERFORMANCE of CERTAIN FUNCTIONS
AFFECTING the DEPARTMENT of the TREASURY:
By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of Title

1 thereof the following subparagraph (j): "(j) The authority
vested in the President by paragraph (b) of section 43 of the Act
of May 12, 1933, as amended (31 U.S.C. 821 (b)), to issue silver
certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver
dollars in the Treasury not then held for redemption of any outstanding
silver certificates, to prescribe the denominations of such silver

JOHN F. KENNEDY
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 4, 1963
As said, Executive Order 11110 is still valid. According to Title
3, United States Code, Section 301 dated January 26, 1998: Executive
Order (EO) 10289 dated Sept. 17, 1951, 16 F.R. 9499, was as amended
by:
EO 10583, dated December 18, 1954, 19 F.R. 8725;
EO 10882 dated July 18, 1960, 25 F.R. 6869;
EO 11110 dated June 4, 1963, 28 F.R. 5605;
EO 11825 dated December 31, 1974, 40 F.R. 1003;
EO 12608 dated September 9, 1987, 52 F.R. 34617
The 1974 and 1987 amendments, added after Kennedy's 1963 amendment,
did not change or alter any part of Kennedy's EO 11110. A search
of Clinton's 1998 and 1999 EO's and Presidential Directives has
shown no reference to any alterations, suspensions, or changes to
EO 11110.
The Federal Reserve Bank, a.k.a Federal Reserve System, is a Private
Corporation. Black's Law Dictionary defines the "Federal Reserve
System" as: "Network of twelve central banks to which
most national banks belong and to which state chartered banks may
belong. Membership rules require investment of stock and minimum
reserves." privately owned banks own the stock of the FED.
This was explained in more detail in the case of Lewis v. United
States, Federal Reporter, 2nd Series, Vol. 680, Pages 1239, 1241
(1982), where the court said: "Each Federal Reserve Bank is
a separate corporation owned by commercial banks in its region.
The stockholding commercial banks elect two-thirds of each Bank's
nine member board of directors." In short, Federal Reserve
Banks are locally controlled by their member banks.
Also, according to Black's Law Dictionary, these privately owned
banks are "allowed" to issue money: "The Federal
Reserve Act, created Federal Reserve banks which act as agents in
maintaining money reserves, issuing money in the form of bank notes,
lending money to banks, and supervising banks as administered by
Federal Reserve Board (q.v.)." Thus the privately owned Federal
Reserve (FED) banks are allowed to actually issue (create) the "money"
we use.
In 1964, the House Committee on Banking and Currency, Subcommittee
on Domestic Finance, at the second session of the 88th Congress,
put out a study entitled Money Facts which contains a good description
of what the FED is: "The Federal Reserve is a total moneymaking
machine. It can issue money or checks. And it never has a problem
of making its checks good because it can obtain the $5 and $10 bills
necessary to cover its check simply by asking the Treasury Department's
Bureau of Engraving to print them." Any one person or any closely
knit group that has a lot of money has a lot of power. Imagine a
group of people with the power to create money. Imagine the power
these people would have. This is exactly what the privately owned
FED is!
No man did more to expose the power of the FED than Louis T. McFadden,
who was the Chairman of the House Banking Committee back in the
1930s. In describing the FED, he remarked in the Congressional Record,
House pages 1295 and 1296 on June 10, 1932:
Mr. Chairman, we have in this country one of the most corrupt
institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal
Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks. The Federal Reserve
Board, a Government Board, has cheated the Government of the United
States and he people of the United States out of enough money
to pay the national debt. The depredations and the iniquities
of the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal reserve banks acting
together have cost this country enough money to pay the national
debt several times over. This evil institution has impoverished
and ruined the people of the United States; has bankrupted itself,
and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this
through the maladministration of that law by which the Federal
Reserve Board, and through the corrupt practices of the moneyed
vultures who control it.
Some people think the Federal Reserve Banks are United States
Government institutions. They are not Government institutions,
departments, or agencies. They are private credit monopolies,
which prey upon the people of the United States for the benefit
of themselves and their foreign customers. Those 12 private credit
monopolies were deceitfully placed upon this country by bankers
who came here from Europe and who repaid us for our hospitality
by undermining our American institutions.
The FED basically works like this: The government granted its power
to create money to the FED banks. They create money, then loan it
back to the government charging interest. The government levies
income taxes to pay the interest on the debt. On this point, it's
interesting to note that the Federal Reserve Act and the sixteenth
amendment, which gave congress the power to collect income taxes,
were both passed in 1913. The incredible power of the FED over the
economy is universally admitted. Some people, especially in the
banking and academic communities, support it. On the other hand,
there are those like President John F. Kennedy, that have spoken
out against it. His efforts were lauded about in Jim Marrs' 1990
book Crossfire:
Another overlooked aspect of Kennedy's attempt to reform American
society involves money. Kennedy apparently reasoned that by returning
to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin
and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by
not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System,
who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest.
He moved in this area on June 4, 1963, by signing Executive Order
11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 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 general obligation bonds, again weakening
the dominant Federal Reserve banks."
In a speech made to Columbia University on Nov. 12, 1963, ten days
before his assassination, President John Fitzgerald Kennedy said:
"The high office of the President has been used to foment
a plot to destroy the American's freedom and before I leave office,
I must inform the citizen of this plight."
In this matter, John Fitzgerald Kennedy appears to be the subject
of his own book... a true Profile of Courage. According to the Constitution
of the United States, (Article 1 Section 8), only Congress has the
authority to coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign
Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures. However, since
1913 this Article has been ignored by creation and existence of
the Federal Reserve Act, which has given a private owned corporation
the power and authority to "create" and coin the money
of United States. The Federal Reserve is comprised of 12 private
credit monopolies who have been given the authority to control the
supply of the "Federal Reserve Notes," interest rates
and all the other monetary and banking phenomena.
The way the Federal Reserve works is this: 12 private credit monopolies
"create", (print), Federal Reserve Notes that are then
"lent" to the American government. This is a circular
affair in that the government grants the FED power to create the
money, which the FED then loans back to the government, charging
interests. The government levies income taxes to pay the interest
on the debt. It is interesting to note that the Federal Reserve
Act and the sixteenth amendment which gave congress the power to
collect income taxes, were both passed in 1913. The Federal Reserve
Notes are not backed by anything of "intrinsic" value.
(i.e., gold or silver).
On June 4, 1963, President, John Fitzgerald Kennedy signed a Presidential
decree, Executive Order 11110, which stripped the Federal Reserve
Banking System of its power to loan money to the United States Federal
Government at interest. This decree meant that for every ounce of
silver in the U.S. Treasury's vault, the U.S. government could introduce
new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically
held therein. As a result, more than $4 trillion in United States
Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations.
$10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being
printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated.
Kennedy knew that if the silver backed United States Notes were
widely circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal
Reserve Notes. By giving the U.S. Treasury the Constitutional authority
to coin U.S. money once again, EO 11110 would thus prevent the national
debt from rising due to "usury" that the American people
are charged for "borrowing" (i.e., using) FRN's.
Kennedy knew that, if Congress coined and regulated money, as the
Constitution states, the national debt would be reduced by not paying
interest to the 12 credit monopolies. This in itself would have
allowed the American people freedom to freely use all the money
they have earned, enabling the economy to grow. Now, Executive Order
11110 is still in effect, even though no U.S. President has had
the courage to follow it. As Americans, it is our duty to question
the Federal Reserve System and the power that we have given it by
electing presidents that lack the courage of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
