00:08:02,625 During the period after the American Revolution 130 00:08:02,666 --> 00:08:06,250 but before the drafting of the Constitution, 131 00:08:06,291 --> 00:08:09,916 our Founding Fathers were

00:08:17,125 --> 00:08:19,000 for use by America. 135 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:21,875 This bank would provide the money 136 00:08:21,916 --> 00:08:24,083 that our young country needed 137 00:08:24,125 --> 00:08:27,208 to grow into a vibrant nation. 138 00:08:27,250 --> 00:08:31,791 However, the Founding Fathers rejected their proposal. 139 00:08:31,833 --> 00:08:35,458 The United States, being a

United States 145 00:08:52,500 --> 00:08:55,666 had the power to create its own currency, 146 00:08:55,708 --> 00:08:57,625 the Founding Fathers were well aware 147 00:08:57,666 --> 00:09:00,208 of the motives of the bankers, 148 00:09:00,250 --> 00:09:04,041 namely, to siphon off the wealth and natural resources 149 00:09:04,083 --> 00:09:06,541 of the people through various methods 150 00:09:06,583 --> 00:09:07,958 of currency manipulation 151 00:09:09,125 --> 00:09:11,416 just as they had done throughout history 152 00:09:11,458 --> 00:09:14,041 in every major country in Europe.

paper must be suppressed, 156 00:09:23,250 --> 00:09:25,916 and the circulating medium must be restored 157 00:09:25,958 --> 00:09:27,958 to the nation to whom it belongs. 158 00:09:28,000 -->

00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,250 Sponsored by the international banking conglomerates 162 00:09:44,291 --> 00:09:46,416 and wealthy elites, 163 00:09:46,458 --> 00:09:48,958 Hamilton convinced the U.S. leadership 164 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,708 that this central bank, owned and controlled 165 00:09:52,750 --> 00:09:55,041 by his wealthy patrons, 166 00:09:55,083 --> 00:09:57,000 would partner with the United States 167 00:09:57,041 --> 00:10:00,291 and establish a very profitable banking franchise. 168 00:10:01,708 --> 00:10:06,333 Thus, a 20-year charter was granted to the first bank 169 00:10:06,375 --> 00:10:09,666 of the United States in 1792. 170 00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:12,791 Over the next 20 years, 171 00:10:12,833 --> 00:10:15,500 this central bank issued bank notes 172 00:10:15,541 --> 00:10:18,458 against the nation's gold coins. 173 00:10:18,500 --> 00:10:21,333 The ever-evolving monetary monster, 174 00:10:21,375 --> 00:10:24,583 financed and took an ownership

of whom were Europeans, 178 00:10:33,833 --> 00:10:36,416 soon convinced the new Congress 179 00:10:36,458 --> 00:10:40,000 that the United States should sell their 20% share 180 00:10:40,041 --> 00:10:41,291 to the bank, 181 00:10:41,333 --> 00:10:45,166 and by 1808, the First Bank of the United States 182 00:10:45,208 --> 00:10:49,500 was totally private, and its profits were enormous. 183 00:10:50,666 --> 00:10:53,291 This did not escape notice of Congress, 184 00:10:53,333 --> 00:10:56,541 who refused to renew their charter in 1811. 185 00:10:57,833 --> 00:10:59,791 That same year, however, 186 00:10:59,833 --> 00:11:02,125 the nation quickly discovered itself 187 00:11:02,166 --> 00:11:05,541 embroiled in conflicts with Great Britain 188 00:11:05,583 --> 00:11:08,458 which led

had a 20-year charter. 197 00:11:36,666 --> 00:11:39,708 And by the time it was up for renewal, 198 00:11:39,750 --> 00:11:43,833 the president in office was Andrew Jackson. 199 00:11:43,875 --> 00:11:47,583 And Jackson, well, he was a fiery man 200 00:11:47,625 --> 00:11:49,750 who happened to strongly oppose 201 00:11:49,791 --> 00:11:53,041 this central, private banking system 202 00:11:53,083 --> 00:11:55,625 and paper money overall. 203 00:11:55,666 --> 00:11:58,041 Andrew Jackson had gained fame 204 00:11:58,083 --> 00:12:00,708 as a general in the United States Army 205 00:12:00,750 --> 00:12:03,333 who fearlessly fought his British enemies 206 00:12:03,375 --> 00:12:04,833 in the War of 1812. 207 00:12:06,041 --> 00:12:09,416 He then served in both houses of Congress, 208 00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:12,958 never finding an issue he didn't want to fight. 209 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,666 As president, Jackson sought to advance the rights 210 00:12:16,708 --> 00:12:18,458 of the common man 211 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:21,458 against the corrupt aristocracy, 212 00:12:21,500 --> 00:12:25,166 and the bank was on his hit list to eliminate. 213 00:12:25,208 --> 00:12:27,208 - [Andrew] "The bold effort the present bank had made 214 00:12:27,250 --> 00:12:28,375 "to control the government 215 00:12:28,416 --> 00:12:29,875 "are but premonitions of the fate 216

bank's new charter, 222 00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,916 in hopes of extorting a rescue 223 00:12:48,958 --> 00:12:51,833 of their privately-controlled central bank, 224 00:12:51,875 --> 00:12:55,083 banking moguls and their political henchmen 225 00:12:55,125 --> 00:12:58,750 introduced a short-lived financial panic 226 00:12:58,791 --> 00:13:00,833 that was initially blamed on Jackson. 227 00:13:01,875 --> 00:13:04,375 But the people were all the wiser 228 00:13:04,416 --> 00:13:09,125 with grave concern that a single centralized private bank 229 00:13:09,166 --> 00:13:11,791 had been issuing America's currency 230 00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:13,291 instead of the U.S. government. 231 00:13:14,583 --> 00:13:18,375 "Why should these private bankers profit so vastly 232 00:13:18,416 --> 00:13:20,291 "when the government itself could issue 233 00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:23,208 "and control the money supply?", Jackson asked. 234 00:13:24,291 --> 00:13:26,708 This riled the majority of Americans 235 00:13:26,750 --> 00:13:29,916 who were disturbed by the bank's monopoly power 236 00:13:29,958 --> 00:13:33,208 to issue money and its political favoritism 237 00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:34,833 in granting of loans. 238 00:13:34,875 --> 00:13:37,041 The Second Bank of the United States 239 00:13:37,083 --> 00:13:38,500 had overplayed its hand. 240 00:13:38,541 --> 00:13:42,416 It very arrogantly and indiscreetly denied loans 241 00:13:42,458 --> 00:13:44,958 to supporters of Andrew Jackson 242 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,958 while bestowing loans to his opponents. 243 00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:51,958 By 1834, a general backlash 244 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,666 against the central bank's tactics had widely spread, 245 00:13:55,708 --> 00:13:57,833 and all recharter efforts were abandoned. 246 00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:03,250 At this point, their monopoly power was shattered, 247 00:14:03,291 --> 00:14:05,500 and the power to issue money 248 00:14:05,541 --> 00:14:08,791 fell to any state-chartered banking institution, 249 00:14:08,833 --> 00:14:10,208 and there were many. 250 00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:15,166 The Second Bank of the United States chieftains, 251 00:14:15,208 --> 00:14:19,625 always crafty and highly funded, simply switched gears. 252 00:14:19,666 --> 00:14:22,666 In February 1836, this central bank 253 00:14:22,708 --> 00:14:24,916 became a private corporation 254 00:14:24,958 --> 00:14:27,791 under Pennsylvania Commonwealth law. 255 00:14:28,666 --> 00:14:30,708 Still having some power, 256 00:14:30,750 --> 00:14:34,000 the centralized bankers utilized it through relationships 257 00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:37,125 with numerous individual private banks. 258 00:14:37,166 --> 00:14:41,375 And suddenly, a contrived shortage of money ensued, 259 00:14:41,416 --> 00:14:44,291 causing the Panic of 1837. 260 00:14:44,333 --> 00:14:47,833 Everyone, regardless of politics, was affected. 261 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,208 [melancholy piano music] 262 00:14:52,250 --> 00:14:55,541 This panic lasted approximately seven years 263 00:14:55,583 --> 00:14:57,666 until a system of banking 264 00:14:57,708 --> 00:15:00,833 completely excluding a centralized bank 265 00:15:00,875 --> 00:15:02,833 gained its full footing. 266 00:15:02,875 --> 00:15:07,083 And from 1841 through 1857, 267 00:15:07,125 --> 00:15:10,333 America lived the greatest economic prosperity 268 00:15:10,375 --> 00:15:11,208 it had ever seen. 269 00:15:12,291 --> 00:15:15,000 During this period, with no centralized 270 00:15:15,041 --> 00:15:19,041 Second Bank of the United States involved in it whatsoever, 271 00:15:19,083 --> 00:15:21,375 federal revenue was solely diverted 272 00:15:21,416 --> 00:15:25,500 into smaller, unaffiliated banks by executive order. 273 00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:29,583 Never willing to give up on their uber-powerful 274 00:15:29,625 --> 00:15:32,583 and mega-wealthy wealth creating monster 275 00:15:32,625 --> 00:15:34,666 of a business, however, 276 00:15:34,708 --> 00:15:38,208 the international centralized bankers fostered a series 277 00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:40,416 of purported bank panics 278 00:15:40,458 --> 00:15:42,750 to highlight their indispensable role. 279 00:15:43,833 --> 00:15:47,916 The Panic of 1857, the Panic of 1873, 280 00:15:49,333 --> 00:15:53,916 the Panic of 1884, the Panic of 1893, 281 00:15:53,958 --> 00:15:55,833 and the Panic of 1896. 282 00:15:56,958 --> 00:15:59,083 There were many naysayers who recognized 283 00:15:59,125 --> 00:16:01,416 that these panics were bogus, 284 00:16:01,458 --> 00:16:04,541 but a combination of greed and stupidity 285 00:16:04,583 --> 00:16:08,916 among the majority of top U.S. government decision makers 286 00:16:08,958 --> 00:16:13,041 allowed the centralized bank, in one form or another, 287 00:16:13,083 --> 00:16:15,250 to continually reemerge. 288 00:16:15,291 --> 00:16:19,750 Finally, in 1907, one final alleged banking panic 289 00:16:20,833 --> 00:16:23,708 shifted public opinion back in favor 290 00:16:23,750 --> 00:16:25,416 of a centralized bank system. 291 00:16:26,708 --> 00:16:30,166 The European families, led by the Rothschilds, 292 00:16:30,208 --> 00:16:34,541 recognized that finally their chance to take full control 293 00:16:34,583 --> 00:16:38,458 of America's banking system had once again arrived. 294 00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:41,708 The European bankers began, 295 00:16:41,750 --> 00:16:43,875 through the newspapers they own 296 00:16:43,916 --> 00:16:46,541 and lobby groups they funded, 297 00:16:46,583 --> 00:16:49,208 to call for full banking reform. 298 00:16:50,458 --> 00:16:53,166 They clamored for Congressional investigations 299 00:16:53,208 --> 00:16:55,458 into the current banking system 300 00:16:55,500 --> 00:16:59,458 and offered their expertise in drafting reforms 301 00:16:59,500 --> 00:17:03,500 that would protect the public against future bank failures. 302 00:17:03,541 --> 00:17:07,166 [eerie piano music] 303 00:17:07,208 --> 00:17:11,750 By 1912, so widespread was public concern 304 00:17:11,791 --> 00:17:13,541 over banking reform 305 00:17:13,583 --> 00:17:17,458 that presidential candidates from each political party 306 00:17:17,500 --> 00:17:21,166 offered their own carefully-drafted versions 307 00:17:21,208 --> 00:17:24,666 of a national monetary reform bill. 308 00:17:24,708 --> 00:17:27,041 What the public had no way of knowing 309 00:17:27,083 --> 00:17:30,583 was that the two main competing reform bills 310 00:17:30,625 --> 00:17:34,000 were virtually identical, as both were written 311 00:17:34,041 --> 00:17:38,833 by the same German banker, Paul Warburg. 312 00:17:38,875 --> 00:17:41,916 The public also had no way of knowing 313 00:17:41,958 --> 00:17:43,583 that the election campaigns 314 00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:47,625 of the three 1912 presidential candidates 315 00:17:47,666 --> 00:17:52,125 were financed by Warburg's firm, Kuhn Loeb and Company, 316 00:17:53,583 --> 00:17:56,958 one of the wealthiest and oldest banking houses of Europe. 317 00:17:57,958 --> 00:18:00,166 By controlling not only the content 318 00:18:00,208 --> 00:18:01,208 of the banking reform bill 319 00:18:02,708 --> 00:18:06,875 but also the results of the 1912 presidential election, 320 00:18:08,125 --> 00:18:10,916 the foreign banking interests were guaranteed 321 00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:12,958 that their dream of establishing 322 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,625 a new permanent central bank for America 323 00:18:16,666 --> 00:18:19,125 would finally be realized. 324 00:18:19,166 --> 00:18:21,666 This allowed for their complete control 325 00:18:21,708 --> 00:18:24,916 over America's money as they once had 326 00:18:24,958 --> 00:18:29,041 with the First and Second Banks of the United States. 327 00:18:29,083 --> 00:18:32,625 In 1913, the Warburg central bank plan, 328 00:18:32,666 --> 00:18:37,750 intentionally mischaracterized as the Federal Reserve Act, 329 00:18:37,791 --> 00:18:39,041 was signed into law 330 00:18:39,083 --> 00:18:42,166 by newly-elected president Woodrow Wilson. 331 00:18:43,291 --> 00:18:45,458 This bill officially transferred 332 00:18:45,500 --> 00:18:50,458 Congress' constitutional duty to issue America's money 333 00:18:50,500 --> 00:18:53,416 into the hands of a private cartel, 334 00:18:53,458 --> 00:18:56,000 the Federal Reserve banks. 335 00:18:56,041 --> 00:18:58,375 Stock in these private corporations 336 00:18:58,416 --> 00:19:01,375 was not made available to the public 337 00:19:01,416 --> 00:19:04,958 and was purchased only by the banks' leadership who, 338 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,333 of course, were the powerful international banking families. 339 00:19:10,208 --> 00:19:12,916 At its inception, the activities 340 00:19:12,958 --> 00:19:15,291 of the Federal Reserve banks were intended 341 00:19:15,333 --> 00:19:18,958 to be monitored by the president and Congress. 342 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,458 However, over the years, 343 00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,291 through repeated subtle changes in legislation, 344 00:19:25,333 --> 00:19:27,583 the operations of these corporations 345 00:19:27,625 --> 00:19:30,125 have become completely independent 346 00:19:30,166 --> 00:19:32,458 of all congressional control. 347 00:19:32,500 --> 00:19:35,541 Extremely secretive in its operation, 348 00:19:35,583 --> 00:19:38,958 these corporations even refuse to be fully audited 349 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,250 by the United States government, 350 00:19:41,291 --> 00:19:43,416 with minimal congressional opposition 351 00:19:43,458 --> 00:19:46,041 as both mainstream political parties 352 00:19:46,083 --> 00:19:48,875 receive the majority of their funding 353 00:19:48,916 --> 00:19:51,166 through these internationally owned banks. 354 00:19:52,416 --> 00:19:54,958 To understand how the Federal Reserve banks 355 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,333 have successfully converted the U.S. 356 00:19:57,375 --> 00:20:01,791 from the world's largest creditor in 1913 357 00:20:01,833 --> 00:20:04,750 to the world's biggest debtor today, 358 00:20:04,791 --> 00:20:07,583 it is only necessary to examine the procedure 359 00:20:07,625 --> 00:20:11,208 that these corporations employ to create our currency. 360 00:20:12,500 --> 00:20:14,916 When the management of the Federal Reserve banks 361 00:20:14,958 --> 00:20:18,375 will claim that one billion dollars should be issued 362 00:20:18,416 --> 00:20:21,333 for use by the American people, 363 00:20:21,375 --> 00:20:24,041 they simply create one billion dollars 364 00:20:24,083 --> 00:20:27,083 and lend it into the banking system. 365 00:20:27,125 --> 00:20:30,833 By doing so, new money enters circulation 366 00:20:30,875 --> 00:20:33,166 as the Federal Reserve banks, 367 00:20:33,208 --> 00:20:36,291 the creators of money, are not required 368 00:20:36,333 --> 00:20:39,375 to have any actual funds of their own. 369 00:20:39,416 --> 00:20:41,875 With this money, they simply purchase 370 00:20:41,916 --> 00:20:45,625 one billion dollars' worth of U.S. Treasury debt 371 00:20:45,666 --> 00:20:47,708 from its member banks. 372 00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:52,000 The banks now have one billion new dollars in their accounts 373 00:20:52,041 --> 00:20:56,166 which they will then loan into the economy at high interest. 374 00:20:57,125 --> 00:20:58,458 Is it any wonder, then, 375 00:20:58,500 --> 00:21:02,208 that the bankers were so persistent in their efforts 376 00:21:02,250 --> 00:21:06,000 to be granted the right to issue America's currency? 377 00:21:07,250 --> 00:21:09,666 When the Federal Reserve banks take possession 378 00:21:09,708 --> 00:21:11,875 of U.S. Treasury debt, 379 00:21:11,916 --> 00:21:13,625 they also take possession and control 380 00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:16,208 of the real wealth of America, 381 00:21:16,250 --> 00:21:18,750 as it is the hard labor and property 382 00:21:18,791 --> 00:21:20,500 of millions of citizens 383 00:21:20,541 --> 00:21:23,041 transferred into the Treasury through taxes 384 00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:28,416 that backs up the actual worth of this Treasury debt. 385 00:21:28,458 --> 00:21:31,208 Each time these private corporations, 386 00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:33,333 called the Federal Reserve banks, 387 00:21:33,375 --> 00:21:36,291 purchase a billion dollars in debt, 388 00:21:36,333 --> 00:21:40,166 one billion dollars' worth of American labor and property 389 00:21:40,208 --> 00:21:43,416 must eventually be confiscated by the Treasury 390 00:21:43,458 --> 00:21:45,583 to cover the new debt. 391 00:21:45,625 --> 00:21:48,625 It may now be obvious why Thomas Jefferson 392 00:21:48,666 --> 00:21:52,041 so vehemently fought the issuance of America's currency 393 00:21:52,083 --> 00:21:54,083 by a private bank. 394 00:21:54,125 --> 00:21:58,916 To add to the oppressive nature of our current money system, 395 00:21:58,958 --> 00:22:01,708 the Federal Reserve Bank will collect annual interest 396 00:22:01,750 --> 00:22:04,000 on the Treasury debt it holds, 397 00:22:04,041 --> 00:22:07,166 further adding to the indebtedness of the American citizens 398 00:22:07,208 --> 00:22:10,791 to the Treasury and thus the Federal Reserve banks. 399 00:22:11,958 --> 00:22:15,000 One sometimes hears the term "debt money" 400 00:22:15,041 --> 00:22:18,708 used to describe the notes issued by the Federal Reserve. 401 00:22:18,750 --> 00:22:21,583 Under our present system of money creation, 402 00:22:21,625 --> 00:22:24,541 it is a sad fact that each dollar note 403 00:22:24,583 --> 00:22:26,791 issued by this corporation 404 00:22:26,833 --> 00:22:29,250 places one dollar's worth of debt 405 00:22:29,291 --> 00:22:32,333 onto the backs of the American population. 406 00:22:32,375 --> 00:22:35,458 The effect of the Federal Reserve banks on our nation 407 00:22:35,500 --> 00:22:39,000 and its citizens has been devastating. 408 00:22:39,041 --> 00:22:42,208 Since 1913, the value of the American dollar 409 00:22:42,250 --> 00:22:44,875 has fallen to 11 cents. 410 00:22:44,916 --> 00:22:48,166 Our gold reserves have lost all correlation 411 00:22:48,208 --> 00:22:50,500 to money in circulation. 412 00:22:50,541 --> 00:22:54,166 Interest rates rise and fall arbitrarily, 413 00:22:54,208 --> 00:22:57,375 and a continually inflated money supply 414 00:22:57,416 --> 00:23:00,916 wipes out the value of lifelong savings. 415 00:23:00,958 --> 00:23:04,291 And soon enough, interest payments on the national debt 416 00:23:04,333 --> 00:23:08,916 will exceed all revenue collected annually by the Treasury. 417 00:23:08,958 --> 00:23:13,291 It's frightening that not one in 100,000 Americans 418 00:23:13,333 --> 00:23:15,041 would be able to guess the identity 419 00:23:15,083 --> 00:23:20,125 of the actual group responsible for these tragic statistics. 420 00:23:21,208 --> 00:23:23,583 The culprit is the Federal Reserve. 421 00:23:24,833 --> 00:23:27,791 Federal Reserve notes in our wallets and purses 422 00:23:27,833 --> 00:23:30,750 are not constitutional money. 423 00:23:30,791 --> 00:23:33,083 They are in fact pieces of paper 424 00:23:33,125 --> 00:23:36,833 which document America's ever-growing debt 425 00:23:36,875 --> 00:23:40,666 to the very clever, very persistent 426 00:23:40,708 --> 00:23:45,291 and very wealthy stockholders of the Federal Reserve banks. 427 00:23:45,333 --> 00:23:47,416 As President Woodrow Wilson said 428 00:23:47,458 --> 00:23:50,458 in that most important year of 1913, 429 00:23:51,916 --> 00:23:53,875 - [Woodrow] "We have come to be one of the worst-ruled, 430

Treasury. 447 00:24:37,208 --> 00:24:39,166 Now each of these presidents was killed 448 00:24:39,208 --> 00:24:41,541 by a lone gunman, right? 449 00:24:41,583 --> 00:24:44,666 We're wrong, well,

--> 00:40:45,875 and not some foreign, private bankers. 773 00:40:45,916 --> 00:40:47,916 Officials would have you believe 774 00:40:47,958 --> 00:40:50,083 that James Garfield's assassination 775 00:40:50,125 --> 00:40:54,250 was carried out by a lone nut wrought with wrath 776 00:40:54,291 --> 00:40:57,625 over a lack of a political appointment, 777 00:40:57,666 --> 00:40:59,583 that is was an act perpetrated 778 00:40:59,625 --> 00:41:02,541 by this one, singular insane man. 779 00:41:03,833 --> 00:41:05,916 But it appears there were indeed others 780 00:41:05,958 --> 00:41:09,083 who were involved in James Garfield's assassination, 781 00:41:10,125 --> 00:41:11,500 men who cared a whole lot 782 00:41:11,541 --> 00:41:13,708 about the United States monetary system 783 00:41:13,750 --> 00:41:14,666 and about who controlled it. 784 00:41:16,125 --> 00:41:20,000 James Garfield's quest to re-institute the gold standard 785 00:41:20,041 --> 00:41:23,583 and have currency issued directly by the U.S. government 786 00:41:23,625 --> 00:41:26,166 greatly angered these men. 787 00:41:26,208 --> 00:41:29,041 The same as Charles Guiteau was greatly enraged 788 00:41:29,083 --> 00:41:30,916 by Garfield's failure to grant 789 00:41:30,958 --> 00:41:34,166 his desired political appointment 790 00:41:34,208 --> 00:41:38,458 and/or Garfield's gold standard capitalism ideology. 791 00:41:39,833 --> 00:41:43,541 Putting this together renders one likely outcome, 792 00:41:43,583 --> 00:41:48,333 that these higher human powers, not Godly powers, 793 00:41:48,375 --> 00:41:52,916 recruited Guiteau and used him as their gunman fall guy. 794 00:41:54,583 --> 00:41:57,958 [typewriter chattering] 795 00:42:01,375 --> 00:42:03,625 A bizarre tragic footnote 796 00:42:03,666 --> 00:42:06,666 to James Garfield's assassination 797 00:42:06,708 --> 00:42:09,041 was that he did not die immediately 798 00:42:09,083 --> 00:42:12,458 from the gunshot wound inflicted by Guiteau. 799 00:42:12,500 --> 00:42:15,833 He actually passed away two and a half months later, 800 00:42:15,875 --> 00:42:18,541 on September 19th, 1881. 801 00:42:19,625 --> 00:42:22,125 Many medical experts and historians argue 802 00:42:22,166 --> 00:42:25,708 that Garfield would have survived the shooting, 803 00:42:25,750 --> 00:42:29,291 and that severely botched treatment by his doctors 804 00:42:29,333 --> 00:42:31,750 was the true proximate cause of his death. 805 00:42:32,916 --> 00:42:35,416 Unsanitary medical instruments were used 806 00:42:35,458 --> 00:42:38,958 to treat the president immediately after the attack. 807 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,500 In the weeks that followed, 808 00:42:40,541 --> 00:42:44,666 many other unsterilized probing fingers and devices 809 00:42:44,708 --> 00:42:46,750 were inserted into Garfield's body 810 00:42:46,791 --> 00:42:48,000 searching for the bullet. 811 00:42:49,041 --> 00:42:51,083 Even though newer medical technology 812 00:42:51,125 --> 00:42:55,583 for the treatment of gunshot wounds had emerged by 1881, 813 00:42:55,625 --> 00:42:58,208 Garfield's doctors were old school 814 00:42:58,250 --> 00:43:01,083 and were adamant about their methods. 815 00:43:01,125 --> 00:43:04,125 The combination of this outdated treatment 816 00:43:04,166 --> 00:43:07,416 with the constant unsanitary conditions 817 00:43:07,458 --> 00:43:10,041 caused Garfield to suffer gravely 818 00:43:10,083 --> 00:43:13,000 as he spiraled towards death. 819 00:43:13,041 --> 00:43:15,458 Infections caused blood poisoning 820 00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:19,666 and his inability to intake and digest any food. 821 00:43:19,708 --> 00:43:23,708 The president lost nearly 100 pounds before he died, 822 00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:26,208 and ultimately succumbed to heart failure. 823 00:43:27,375 --> 00:43:29,833 Could his medical doctors have been engaged 824 00:43:29,875 --> 00:43:32,416 in a further plot to kill Garfield 825 00:43:32,458 --> 00:43:34,458 once it was learned that Guiteau's bullet 826 00:43:34,500 --> 00:43:36,000 didn't complete the job? 827 00:43:37,083 --> 00:43:39,208 That would seem rather unlikely, 828 00:43:39,250 --> 00:43:41,708 as it appears that he was just the victim 829 00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:44,458 of good old-fashioned medical malpractice. 830 00:43:45,458 --> 00:43:48,208 What is extremely likely, however, 831 00:43:48,250 --> 00:43:51,041 is that the fired bullet was at the fingertip 832 00:43:51,083 --> 00:43:52,625 of Charles Guiteau 833 00:43:52,666 --> 00:43:56,291

decided that the U.S. government 872 00:45:48,083 --> 00:45:51,541 would issue and control its own money. 873 00:45:51,583 --> 00:45:55,541 President Lincoln then asked Congress to pass a law 874 00:45:55,583 --> 00:45:57,000 authorizing the printing 875 00:45:57,041 --> 00:46:00,500 of full legal tender Treasury notes 876 00:46:00,541 --> 00:46:02,791 to pay for the war effort. 877 00:46:02,833 --> 00:46:05,041 This law authorized the printing 878 00:46:05,083 --> 00:46:09,125 of $450 million worth of greenbacks 879 00:46:09,166 --> 00:46:12,750 and interest-free money to finance the war, 880 00:46:12,791 --> 00:46:14,916 which deprived the centralized bankers 881 00:46:14,958 --> 00:46:17,041 of millions in interest. 882 00:46:17,083 --> 00:46:22,250 It acted as legal tender for all debts, public and private. 883 00:46:22,291 --> 00:46:25,000 It paid for soldiers and sailors 884 00:46:25,041 --> 00:46:27,750 and necessary war supplies. 885 00:46:27,791 --> 00:46:30,208 Lincoln realized the benefit to the Republic 886 00:46:30,250 --> 00:46:35,291 in a letter to Edward Taylor in December 1862 when he wrote, 887 00:46:35,333 --> 00:46:37,250 - [Abraham] "We gave the people of this Republic 888 00:46:37,291 --> 00:46:40,291 the greatest blessing they have ever had, 889 00:46:40,333 --> 00:46:43,791 their own paper money to pay their own debts." 890 00:46:43,833 --> 00:46:48,375 - In July of 1861, Congress authorized 891 00:46:48,416 --> 00:46:51,875 the multi-millions of dollars in demand notes. 892 00:46:51,916 --> 00:46:54,833 They bore no interest and could be redeemed 893 00:46:54,875 --> 00:46:57,625 for specie on demand. 894 00:46:57,666 --> 00:46:59,583 They were not legal tender, 895 00:46:59,625 --> 00:47:00,875 but like Treasury notes, 896 00:47:00,916 --> 00:47:02,583 could be used to pay customs duties. 897 00:47:03,833 --> 00:47:06,375 These demand notes were printed in green ink 898 00:47:06,416 --> 00:47:11,083 on the reverse side, hence their nickname, greenbacks. 899 00:47:11,125 --> 00:47:13,750 As they were fully redeemable in gold, 900 00:47:13,791 --> 00:47:15,958 they traded at par. 901 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,875 Remember who else supported the gold standard 902 00:47:18,916 --> 00:47:23,208 and government-issued money, President Garfield. 903 00:47:23,250 --> 00:47:26,625 And guess who else supported government-issued money, 904 00:47:26,666 --> 00:47:29,416 William McKinley and John F. Kennedy. 905 00:47:30,625 --> 00:47:32,833 Things, of course, didn't turn out well 906 00:47:32,875 --> 00:47:34,375 for any of these presidents 907 00:47:34,416 --> 00:47:37,041 after they initiated their new 908 00:47:37,083 --> 00:47:39,875 and bank-damaging monetary systems. 909 00:47:39,916 --> 00:47:43,416 More so, immediately after their deaths, 910 00:47:43,458 --> 00:47:46,125 massive money-issuing power went directly 911 00:47:46,166 --> 00:47:49,625 back into the greedy hands of the centralized bankers. 912 00:47:49,666 --> 00:47:52,291 Upon Abraham Lincoln's assassination, 913 00:47:52,333 --> 00:47:55,166 all of his U.S. Treasury issued greenbacks 914 00:47:55,208 --> 00:47:57,666 were retired from circulation, 915 00:47:57,708 --> 00:48:00,875 leaving only national bank notes. 916 00:48:00,916 --> 00:48:04,666 But what were national bank notes in the 1860s? 917 00:48:04,708 --> 00:48:08,416 And why and how did they come into existence? 918 00:48:08,458 --> 00:48:12,208 Because the 1860s Congress was so influenced 919 00:48:12,250 --> 00:48:15,041 by the centralized banking cartel, 920 00:48:15,083 --> 00:48:17,791 they would not grant Lincoln's greenback legislation 921 00:48:17,833 --> 00:48:19,875 without a parallel system 922 00:48:19,916 --> 00:48:24,333 where the private banks simultaneously issued money. 923 00:48:24,375 --> 00:48:28,208 Thus, Congress enacted the National Banking Act, 924 00:48:28,250 --> 00:48:31,291 which established a system of national banks 925 00:48:31,333 --> 00:48:33,208 and created a national currency 926 00:48:33,250 --> 00:48:35,916 maintained by private bank holdings 927 00:48:35,958 --> 00:48:37,125 of U.S. Treasury bonds. 928 00:48:38,625 --> 00:48:43,333 This resulted in a dual money-issuing system being born 929 00:48:43,375 --> 00:48:46,416 which encompassed both the national bank notes 930 00:48:46,458 --> 00:48:48,166 and Lincoln's greenbacks. 931 00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:50,791 This, of course, greatly benefited 932 00:48:50,833 --> 00:48:53,583 the international bankers who sought to again 933 00:48:53,625 --> 00:48:56,000 control the issuing of America's currency. 934 00:48:57,208 --> 00:49:01,000 The newly enacted two-fold monetary system 935 00:49:01,041 --> 00:49:03,791 initiated out of necessity by Abraham Lincoln 936 00:49:03,833 --> 00:49:05,791 to fund the Civil War 937 00:49:05,833 --> 00:49:09,083 became the creature from Jekyll Island 938 00:49:09,125 --> 00:49:12,750 as it not only was the perfect setup for the bankers, 939 00:49:12,791 --> 00:49:16,083 but it also very likely led to Lincoln's death. 940 00:49:16,125 --> 00:49:20,791 The leading demon of this mid-1800s banking cartel, 941 00:49:20,833 --> 00:49:24,541 Rothschilds and Sons, seized the moment, 942 00:49:24,583 --> 00:49:27,208 even publicly stating their plans 943 00:49:27,250 --> 00:49:31,791 well in advance of the 1863 Banking Act. 944 00:49:31,833 --> 00:49:34,791 At the marriage of Nathan Rothschild's eldest daughter 945 00:49:34,833 --> 00:49:38,041 in 1857, he said, 946 00:49:38,083 --> 00:49:40,791 - [Nathan] "I shall divide the United States in half. 947 00:49:40,833 --> 00:49:44,916 "Half for you, Lionel, and half for you, James." 948 00:49:44,958 --> 00:49:47,750 - Curiously enough, the Civil War was created 949 00:49:47,791 --> 00:49:49,875 in just this fashion, 950 00:49:49,916 --> 00:49:52,041 half with one Rothschild brother 951 00:49:52,083 --> 00:49:54,583 financially supporting the North, 952 00:49:54,625 --> 00:49:56,833 and half with the other Rothschild brother 953 00:49:56,875 --> 00:49:58,791 supporting the South. 954 00:49:58,833 --> 00:50:02,666 And the winner forced the loser to pay his debts. 955 00:50:02,708 --> 00:50:04,541 So no matter who won the war, 956 00:50:04,583 --> 00:50:06,875 the Rothschilds and their banking cartel 957 00:50:06,916 --> 00:50:08,958 won over the U.S. monetary system. 958 00:50:10,291 --> 00:50:13,166 Since Lincoln's greenbacks were immediately retired 959 00:50:13,208 --> 00:50:14,583 after his death, 960 00:50:14,625 --> 00:50:17,708 the only currency left were the national bank notes 961 00:50:17,750 --> 00:50:20,416 issued by these private bankers. 962 00:50:20,458 --> 00:50:23,083 From this foothold grew the forerunner 963 00:50:23,125 --> 00:50:25,583 of the Federal Reserve System, 964 00:50:25,625 --> 00:50:29,166 the modern centralized banking cartel 965 00:50:29,208 --> 00:50:33,083 that controls the issuing of all American currency. 966 00:50:33,125 --> 00:50:36,583 [melancholy piano music] 967 00:50:41,333 --> 00:50:44,000 After learning the much less known circumstances 968 00:50:44,041 --> 00:50:46,916 surrounding James Garfield's killing, 969 00:50:46,958 --> 00:50:49,166 it makes the very likely true reason 970 00:50:49,208 --> 00:50:52,541 for Lincoln's murder much more understandable. 971 00:50:52,583 --> 00:50:55,333 On the assassin's side, Charles Guiteau 972 00:50:55,375 --> 00:50:58,041 certainly had his own economic motivations 973 00:50:58,083 --> 00:51:00,416 to murder President Garfield, 974 00:51:00,458 --> 00:51:03,291 and he also presents as the perfect patsy 975 00:51:03,333 --> 00:51:06,083 used to carry out the deadly deed. 976 00:51:06,125 --> 00:51:08,541 Well, how about John Wilkes Booth?

Kennedy. 1176 01:00:36,041 --> 01:00:38,000 The conventional wisdom is 1177 01:00:38,041 --> 01:00:40,166 that President McKinley's assassination 1178 01:00:40,208 --> 01:00:43,916 was the work of a lone gunman, Leon Czolgosz. 1179 01:00:44,708 --> 01:00:46,125 An avowed socialist 1180 01:00:46,166 --> 01:00:49,166 like Garfield's gunman Charles Guiteau 1181 01:00:49,208 --> 01:00:52,041 and Kennedy's shooter, Lee Harvey Oswald, 1182 01:00:52,083 --> 01:00:56,250 Leon Czolgosz was livid by what he called 1183 01:00:56,291 --> 01:00:58,166 "a corrupt U.S. government." 1184 01:00:59,291 --> 01:01:01,666 Well, this indeed was the story put out 1185 01:01:01,708 --> 01:01:04,875 by the United States government in 1901, 1186 01:01:04,916 --> 01:01:07,416 the year McKinley was killed. 1187 01:01:07,458 --> 01:01:09,291 But perhaps this president's death 1188 01:01:09,333 --> 01:01:13,916 was the result of the more logical and clear reason, 1189 01:01:13,958 --> 01:01:16,625 that he had instituted what Lincoln and Garfield 1190 01:01:16,666 --> 01:01:19,500 had done years before him 1191 01:01:19,541 --> 01:01:22,333 in taking away money-issuing control 1192 01:01:22,375 --> 01:01:24,541 from private, centralized bankers. 1193 01:01:25,958 --> 01:01:29,791 William McKinley had successfully led a U.S. victory 1194 01:01:29,833 --> 01:01:32,250 in the Spanish-American War, 1195 01:01:32,291 --> 01:01:36,500 which led to an easy win for a second term as president, 1196 01:01:36,541 --> 01:01:39,416 but on September 6, 1901, 1197 01:01:39,458 --> 01:01:42,375 less than a year after his re-election, 1198 01:01:42,416 --> 01:01:44,333 McKinley was shot in the abdomen 1199 01:01:44,375 --> 01:01:47,541 at the Temple of Music in Buffalo, New York. 1200 01:01:47,583 --> 01:01:50,666 The shooter, Leon Czolgosz, 1201 01:01:50,708 --> 01:01:54,500 waited on a long line to shake the president's hand. 1202 01:01:54,541 --> 01:01:57,875 When he finally reached his Commander-in-Chief, 1203 01:01:57,916 --> 01:02:02,416 Czolgosz's right hand was draped in a white handkerchief. 1204 01:02:02,458 --> 01:02:05,458 As McKinley reached out to greet the man, 1205 01:02:05,500 --> 01:02:08,583 Czolgosz fired two bullets. 1206 01:02:08,625 --> 01:02:12,666 One harmlessly bounced off McKinley's chest bone, 1207 01:02:12,708 --> 01:02:15,625 but the other lodged in his gut. 1208 01:02:15,666 --> 01:02:19,416 The president fell to the ground thinking about two people, 1209 01:02:19,458 --> 01:02:23,375 his wife and the man who had just shot him. 1210 01:02:23,416 --> 01:02:25,791 McKinley notably said, 1211 01:02:25,833 --> 01:02:27,708 - [William] "Be careful how you tell her. 1212 01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:28,666 "Oh, be careful." 1213 01:02:29,791 --> 01:02:32,500 - And as for his assassin, he uttered, 1214 01:02:32,541 --> 01:02:34,291 - [Leon] "Be easy with him, boys." 1215 01:02:35,333 --> 01:02:37,375 - Like James A. Garfield, 1216 01:02:37,416 --> 01:02:39,541 William McKinley did not die quickly 1217 01:02:39,583 --> 01:02:41,791 from his bullet wounds. 1218 01:02:41,833 --> 01:02:46,250 Also like Garfield, failures by the treating physicians 1219 01:02:46,291 --> 01:02:48,916 contributed to his ultimate demise. 1220 01:02:48,958 --> 01:02:50,500 You've all heard of the magic bullet 1221 01:02:50,541 --> 01:02:52,875 in the Kennedy assassination. 1222 01:02:52,916 --> 01:02:55,500 Well, the McKinley assassination led to the coining 1223 01:02:55,541 --> 01:02:57,708 of the phrase "The Mystery Bullet." 1224 01:02:59,000 --> 01:03:01,791 This is because doctors spent over 90 minutes 1225 01:03:01,833 --> 01:03:05,125 looking for the bullet during the president's autopsy, 1226 01:03:05,166 --> 01:03:05,833 but it was never found. 1227 01:03:07,291 --> 01:03:11,375 Doctors, media, and political leaders were so perplexed 1228 01:03:11,416 --> 01:03:14,458 by McKinley's quick and unexpected decline 1229 01:03:14,500 --> 01:03:17,791 that many opined that the bullet must have been poisoned. 1230 01:03:18,875 --> 01:03:21,166 More so, the question was asked, 1231 01:03:21,208 --> 01:03:23,875 "Where the hell was the mystery bullet?" 1232 01:03:23,916 --> 01:03:26,625 And perhaps it might be a smarter question to ask 1233 01:03:26,666 --> 01:03:29,666 if McKinley was poisoned after he was shot, 1234 01:03:30,708 --> 01:03:32,833 not from a poison bullet, 1235 01:03:32,875 --> 01:03:34,916 but by someone simply poisoning him. 1236 01:03:36,125 --> 01:03:38,958 Were the doctors part of a conspiracy, 1237 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,291 brought in to finish off an uncompleted job? 1238 01:03:42,458 --> 01:03:45,000 You recall what happened to James Garfield. 1239 01:03:45,041 --> 01:03:48,791 Mainstream history outright blames botched medical care 1240 01:03:48,833 --> 01:03:50,375 for the proximate cause of his death. 1241 01:03:51,583 --> 01:03:54,166 If the killers were successful once before 1242 01:03:54,208 --> 01:03:58,416 in eliminating a president after a non-lethal shooting, 1243 01:03:58,458 --> 01:04:01,916 why not try the same coffin-ensuring method again? 1244 01:04:01,958 --> 01:04:03,083 Bring in the dirty doctors. 1245 01:04:04,333 --> 01:04:06,458 Those who infect their presidential patients 1246 01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:09,166 with unsanitary probing fingers, 1247 01:04:09,208 --> 01:04:13,125 non-sterile instruments, and unclean conditions, 1248 01:04:13,166 --> 01:04:16,875 follow this by failing to remove a mystery bullet. 1249 01:04:16,916 --> 01:04:19,041 Or maybe quite the opposite, 1250 01:04:19,083 --> 01:04:20,916 locating the bullet, taking it out, 1251 01:04:20,958 --> 01:04:23,000 and acting like it's still there 1252 01:04:23,041 --> 01:04:24,416 to justify a certain type 1253 01:04:24,458 --> 01:04:27,291 of supposedly cautious treatment, 1254 01:04:27,333 --> 01:04:30,333 a treatment that allows gangrene to develop and kill. 1255 01:04:31,500 --> 01:04:32,875 Whatever the exact details, 1256 01:04:32,916 --> 01:04:35,666 we know that both President Garfield 1257 01:04:35,708 --> 01:04:39,000 and President McKinley died quite some time 1258 01:04:39,041 --> 01:04:39,833 after their shooting. 1259 01:04:41,041 --> 01:04:43,416 We also know that they died from infections 1260 01:04:43,458 --> 01:04:44,291 and blood poisoning. 1261 01:04:45,458 --> 01:04:48,500 It's hard to believe that two presidents, 1262 01:04:48,541 --> 01:04:52,041 people surely in line for the greatest of medical care, 1263 01:04:52,083 --> 01:04:53,375 apparently got the worst. 1264 01:04:54,458 --> 01:04:56,875 Was this just coincidental, bad luck, 1265 01:04:58,166 --> 01:05:00,208 or were the doctors hired hands, 1266 01:05:00,250 --> 01:05:03,875 brought in to suture an unfinished assassination? 1267 01:05:03,916 --> 01:05:05,458 Or perhaps the physicians 1268 01:05:05,500 --> 01:05:07,666 provided fine medical treatment, 1269 01:05:07,708 --> 01:05:10,166 and someone else with access to the president 1270 01:05:10,208 --> 01:05:10,750 poisoned their blood. 1271 01:05:12,333 --> 01:05:16,458 No matter, these two men could have survived their shootings 1272 01:05:16,500 --> 01:05:19,125 but mysteriously died with poisoned blood. 1273 01:05:19,166 --> 01:05:22,458 Just like we revealed in the murder of James Garfield 1274 01:05:22,500 --> 01:05:25,750 and the famous assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, 1275 01:05:25,791 --> 01:05:29,291 the lone gunman theory in William McKinley's case 1276 01:05:29,333 --> 01:05:30,708 is wholly unbelievable. 1277 01:05:31,791 --> 01:05:34,458 Everyone knows that John Wilkes Booth 1278 01:05:34,500 --> 01:05:36,875 and Lee Harvey Oswald had personal motives 1279 01:05:36,916 --> 01:05:39,541 to kill Honest Abe and JFK. 1280 01:05:39,583 --> 01:05:43,708 We clearly identified Charles Guiteau's intimate reason 1281 01:05:43,750 --> 01:05:45,500 to eliminate Garfield. 1282 01:05:45,541 --> 01:05:49,000 Did Leon Czolgosz also have a private rationale 1283 01:05:49,041 --> 01:05:51,833 for his carnage upon William McKinley? 1284 01:05:51,875 --> 01:05:53,500 Yes, he did. 1285 01:05:53,541 --> 01:05:56,916 Leon Czolgosz was punched, kicked, and stomped 1286 01:05:56,958 --> 01:06:00,541 by police and bystanders after he shot McKinley. 1287 01:06:00,583 --> 01:06:04,083 Thereafter, he provided a full confession to authorities. 1288 01:06:04,125 --> 01:06:07,333 In fact, he presented them with a written letter 1289 01:06:07,375 --> 01:06:10,666 that outlined his premeditated actions. 1290 01:06:10,708 --> 01:06:14,708 Czolgosz referred to himself as Fred Neiman 1291 01:06:14,750 --> 01:06:17,916 which in German means Fred Nobody. 1292 01:06:17,958 --> 01:06:20,916 You see, Czolgosz was a total zero, 1293 01:06:20,958 --> 01:06:25,041 poor, unemployed, unskilled, and alone. 1294 01:06:25,083 --> 01:06:28,833 He was searching for a voice, the government says. 1295 01:06:28,875 --> 01:06:31,541 He wanted to become someone 1296 01:06:31,583 --> 01:06:34,541 and be known as smart and brave. 1297 01:06:34,583 --> 01:06:37,291 In his written confession, he proudly stated, 1298 01:06:37,333 --> 01:06:39,375 - [Leon] "I made my plans three or four days ago 1299 01:06:39,416 --> 01:06:40,916 "to shoot the president. 1300 01:06:40,958 --> 01:06:43,875 "When I shot him, I intended to kill him. 1301 01:06:43,916 --> 01:06:46,000 "And the reason for my intention in killing 1302 01:06:46,041 --> 01:06:50,125 "was because I did not believe in presidents over us. 1303 01:06:50,166 --> 01:06:53,458 "I was willing to sacrifice myself and the president 1304 01:06:53,500 --> 01:06:55,291 "for the benefit of the country. 1305 01:06:55,333 --> 01:06:57,791 "I felt I had more courage than the average man 1306 01:06:57,833 --> 01:06:59,041 "in killing the president 1307 01:06:59,083 --> 01:07:01,250 "and was willing to put my own life at stake 1308 01:07:01,291 --> 01:07:02,625 "in order to do it." 1309 01:07:02,666 --> 01:07:04,375 - He also wrote about meetings he attended 1310 01:07:04,416 --> 01:07:05,875 with the anarchists, 1311 01:07:05,916 --> 01:07:09,125 a burgeoning political group that impelled his shooting. 1312 01:07:09,916 --> 01:07:11,458 Czolgosz decried, 1313 01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:14,125 - [Leon] "I heard people talk about the duty they were under 1314 01:07:14,166 --> 01:07:15,458 "to educate the people 1315 01:07:15,500 --> 01:07:17,750 "against the present form of government, 1316 01:07:17,791 --> 01:07:19,625 "and they should do all they could 1317 01:07:19,666 --> 01:07:21,666 "to change the form of government." 1318 01:07:21,708 --> 01:07:24,416 - But who were the anarchists? 1319 01:07:24,458 --> 01:07:27,875 Many historians consider that the first global terrorists 1320 01:07:27,916 --> 01:07:29,250 were the anarchists. 1321 01:07:30,333 --> 01:07:32,291 These were a loosely-knit group of men 1322 01:07:32,333 --> 01:07:34,250 in both America and Europe 1323 01:07:34,291 --> 01:07:37,375 who believed in the isolation of the individual. 1324 01:07:37,416 --> 01:07:39,458 They were advocates of free thought, 1325 01:07:39,500 --> 01:07:43,208 which included freedom from religion and politics. 1326 01:07:43,250 --> 01:07:46,916 Anarchism in the 1890s was all about the pursuit 1327 01:07:46,958 --> 01:07:50,708 of man's right to his own tools, mind, and body. 1328 01:07:51,875 --> 01:07:54,541 He shall keep the products of his own labor 1329 01:07:54,583 --> 01:07:56,666 without government interference. 1330 01:07:56,708 --> 01:07:59,833 This anti-political philosophy, from time to time, 1331 01:07:59,875 --> 01:08:01,958 both in America and abroad, 1332 01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,875 manifested itself into a dynamite bombing 1333 01:08:04,916 --> 01:08:06,708 or a shooting spree. 1334 01:08:06,750 --> 01:08:09,166 In the United States, authorities believe 1335 01:08:09,208 --> 01:08:11,041 and newspapers reported 1336 01:08:11,083 --> 01:08:14,125 that a large swath of the anarchists were foreigners 1337 01:08:14,166 --> 01:08:15,625 who had immigrated to America. 1338 01:08:16,916 --> 01:08:20,000 Whether this is true or not is another story. 1339 01:08:20,041 --> 01:08:22,291 Also just a story 1340 01:08:22,333 --> 01:08:26,250 were most of the terrorist acts attributed to anarchists. 1341 01:08:26,291 --> 01:08:28,125 There were numerous media reports 1342 01:08:28,166 --> 01:08:32,083 of explosions, bomb blastings, and even viral plagues 1343 01:08:32,125 --> 01:08:34,208 that never existed. 1344 01:08:34,250 --> 01:08:37,375 Alternatively, many who committed terrorist acts 1345 01:08:37,416 --> 01:08:41,375 called themselves anarchist, but really weren't. 1346 01:08:41,416 --> 01:08:43,333 And many other attacks were deemed 1347 01:08:43,375 --> 01:08:45,666 carried out by the anarchists, 1348 01:08:45,708 --> 01:08:48,625 but the perpetrators really had nothing to do 1349 01:08:48,666 --> 01:08:50,208 with this freethinking group. 1350 01:08:51,333 --> 01:08:53,333 The phony accounts were the norm 1351 01:08:53,375 --> 01:08:55,250 rather than the exception. 1352 01:08:55,291 --> 01:08:57,208 The government and its media allies 1353 01:08:57,250 --> 01:09:00,291 used the alleged anarchist terrorism 1354 01:09:00,333 --> 01:09:04,458 as a fear-baiting tool to control its populace 1355 01:09:04,500 --> 01:09:06,000 and to sell newspapers. 1356 01:09:07,208 --> 01:09:10,291 Thus fake news had its roots with anarchism 1357 01:09:10,333 --> 01:09:13,291 in addition to modern day terrorism. 1358 01:09:13,333 --> 01:09:17,541 And was Leon Czolgosz actually an anarchist? 1359 01:09:17,583 --> 01:09:20,083 In the 1890s, there was no shortage 1360 01:09:20,125 --> 01:09:22,791 of young men who were screaming for attention 1361 01:09:22,833 --> 01:09:25,625 and longing to do daring things. 1362 01:09:25,666 --> 01:09:28,750 Leon Czolgosz was one of them, 1363 01:09:28,791 --> 01:09:33,250 and the anarchists with all of their media-driven fanfare, 1364 01:09:33,291 --> 01:09:36,000 was a logical outlet to turn Mr. Nobody 1365 01:09:36,041 --> 01:09:37,541 into Mr. Somebody. 1366 01:09:38,416 --> 01:09:40,708 In his quest for recognition, 1367 01:09:40,750 --> 01:09:44,125 Czolgosz did indeed attend some anarchist meetings 1368 01:09:44,166 --> 01:09:46,083 in Chicago during the year prior 1369 01:09:46,125 --> 01:09:48,666 to the McKinley assassination. 1370 01:09:48,708 --> 01:09:50,625 But after the president's shooting, 1371 01:09:50,666 --> 01:09:52,708 the anarchists did everything they could 1372 01:09:52,750 --> 01:09:55,625 to distance themselves from Czolgosz. 1373 01:09:55,666 --> 01:09:57,750 Could some group, more powerful 1374 01:09:57,791 --> 01:10:00,250 than the sensationalized anarchists, 1375 01:10:00,291 --> 01:10:03,666 have learned of Czolgosz through this publicity 1376 01:10:03,708 --> 01:10:07,291 and sought out this disaffected, rejected young man 1377 01:10:08,166 --> 01:10:10,083 and seized upon his yearning 1378 01:10:10,125 --> 01:10:13,666 to transform from a zero to a hero? 1379 01:10:13,708 --> 01:10:16,333 Was William McKinley's assassination 1380 01:10:16,375 --> 01:10:19,625 really the work of a loser lone gunman 1381 01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:22,291 with anarchist influences? 1382 01:10:22,333 --> 01:10:25,583 This government-skewed theory is troubled at its core 1383 01:10:25,625 --> 01:10:27,791 with the revelation of Czolgosz's 1384 01:10:27,833 --> 01:10:30,666 true tenuous anarchist ties 1385 01:10:30,708 --> 01:10:34,916 and the group's very public disassociation with him, 1386 01:10:34,958 --> 01:10:38,166 not to mention the fake news pandemic 1387 01:10:38,208 --> 01:10:40,291 that was metastasizing during these times. 1388 01:10:41,791 --> 01:10:45,875 A more realistic explanation for McKinley's assassination 1389 01:10:45,916 --> 01:10:49,791 was that it was carried out via a devious plot 1390 01:10:49,833 --> 01:10:53,791 which incorporated Leon Czolgosz as its patsy. 1391 01:10:53,833 --> 01:10:58,250 As a fact, we do know that Czolgosz's bullets 1392 01:10:58,291 --> 01:11:01,041 didn't execute the fatal damage. 1393 01:11:01,083 --> 01:11:03,041 It took some medical malpractice 1394 01:11:03,083 --> 01:11:05,875 or another method of blood poisoning 1395 01:11:05,916 --> 01:11:08,291 to complete the exterminating task. 1396 01:11:08,333 --> 01:11:10,541 But who was behind this presidential murder 1397 01:11:10,583 --> 01:11:13,666 if it wasn't just Leon Czolgosz 1398 01:11:13,708 --> 01:11:15,333 wanting to become Fred Somebody? 1399 01:11:16,708 --> 01:11:21,208 Who had a motive to kill the U.S. president in 1901, 1400 01:11:21,250 --> 01:11:23,541 and who could get away with it unscathed? 1401 01:11:24,500 --> 01:11:26,083 Who could manipulate the media 1402 01:11:26,125 --> 01:11:29,250 into portraying it as an anarchist act 1403 01:11:29,291 --> 01:11:31,416 and get it all swept under the carpet 1404 01:11:31,458 --> 01:11:33,208 before anyone could learn the truth 1405 01:11:33,250 --> 01:11:35,208 behind this executive treachery? 1406 01:11:36,708 --> 01:11:39,875 Well, let's look at William McKinley's political history 1407 01:11:39,916 --> 01:11:41,625 and his presidential goals, 1408 01:11:41,666 --> 01:11:45,083 and who had the most to gain by eliminating him. 1409 01:11:45,125 --> 01:11:47,791 After doing battle in the Civil War, 1410 01:11:47,833 --> 01:11:50,625 William McKinley began his political career 1411 01:11:50,666 --> 01:11:53,416 as an American isolationist, 1412 01:11:53,458 --> 01:11:56,666 not in the sense of the anarchists, of course, no. 1413 01:11:56,708 --> 01:11:59,375 He sought, like many leaders of the time, 1414 01:11:59,416 --> 01:12:02,250 to keep America, as much as possible, 1415 01:12:02,291 --> 01:12:06,083 economically independent from the rest of the world. 1416 01:12:06,125 --> 01:12:08,458 He was a great proponent of high tariffs 1417 01:12:08,500 --> 01:12:10,833 on foreign products. 1418 01:12:10,875 --> 01:12:13,166 As a Republican protectionist, 1419 01:12:13,208 --> 01:12:16,208 McKinley understood that substantial tariffs 1420 01:12:16,250 --> 01:12:20,000 prevented the importation of many international goods 1421 01:12:20,041 --> 01:12:22,750 because it made doing business in the U.S. 1422 01:12:22,791 --> 01:12:24,791 too expensive for many foreigners. 1423 01:12:25,791 --> 01:12:28,125 Another benefit of the high tariffs 1424 01:12:28,166 --> 01:12:30,666 was that it generated significant revenue 1425 01:12:30,708 --> 01:12:31,916 for the government, 1426 01:12:31,958 --> 01:12:34,333 thus downsizing the need to rely 1427 01:12:34,375 --> 01:12:37,416 upon American citizens' hard-earned money 1428 01:12:37,458 --> 01:12:40,125 to pay for the government's expenses. 1429 01:12:40,166 --> 01:12:44,125 In other words, it limited the need for income taxes. 1430 01:12:45,416 --> 01:12:48,375 A natural result was that American-made products 1431 01:12:48,416 --> 01:12:51,291 had much less competition at home, 1432 01:12:51,333 --> 01:12:54,791 which allowed them to be sold for greater prices. 1433 01:12:54,833 --> 01:12:57,500 The higher profits for American industry 1434 01:12:57,541 --> 01:13:00,083 permitted higher wages for American workers. 1435 01:13:01,416 --> 01:13:04,416 Did these protectionist plans get McKinley killed 1436 01:13:04,458 --> 01:13:07,208 by angry agents of foreign nations? 1437 01:13:08,333 --> 01:13:10,208 No, not at all. 1438 01:13:10,250 --> 01:13:12,500 McKinley's high tariff agenda persisted 1439 01:13:12,541 --> 01:13:16,333 during his tenure in Congress and as Ohio's governor. 1440 01:13:17,583 --> 01:13:21,125 It all ended when he became president in 1896. 1441 01:13:22,458 --> 01:13:24,791 President McKinley was thrown a curve ball 1442 01:13:24,833 --> 01:13:27,166 when he reluctantly entered the United States 1443 01:13:27,208 --> 01:13:29,708 into the Spanish-American War in 1898. 1444 01:13:31,083 --> 01:13:34,416 Upon the war's quick conclusion in America's favor, 1445 01:13:34,458 --> 01:13:36,833 to the victors went the spoils. 1446 01:13:36,875 --> 01:13:40,166 And America gained several territories from Spain, 1447 01:13:40,208 --> 01:13:45,041 including Puerto Rico, Wake, Guam, and the Philippines. 1448 01:13:46,500 --> 01:13:50,250 The U.S. also annexed the Hawaiian Islands that summer. 1449 01:13:50,291 --> 01:13:53,125 American businessmen were now much more excited 1450 01:13:53,166 --> 01:13:56,166 about the prospect of overseas trade, 1451 01:13:56,208 --> 01:14:00,083 and thus William McKinley was reborn as a free trader. 1452 01:14:01,666 --> 01:14:06,625 On September 5th, 1901, the day before he was assassinated, 1453 01:14:07,625 --> 01:14:09,208 William McKinley delivered a speech 1454 01:14:09,250 --> 01:14:12,583 to 50,000 people in New York, proclaiming, 1455 01:14:12,625 --> 01:14:15,958 - [William] "Isolation is no longer possible or desirable. 1456 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,625 "The period of exclusiveness is past. 1457 01:14:18,791 --> 01:14:21,083 "The expansion of our trade and commerce 1458 01:14:21,125 --> 01:14:22,875 "is the pressing problem. 1459 01:14:22,916 --> 01:14:25,125 "Commercial wars are unprofitable. 1460 01:14:25,166 --> 01:14:28,208 "A policy of good will and friendly trade relations 1461 01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:30,916 "will prevent reprisals." 1462 01:14:30,958 --> 01:14:34,166 - Was William McKinley's reversal on trade 1463 01:14:34,208 --> 01:14:36,875 and what it meant to the private banks 1464 01:14:36,916 --> 01:14:39,833 the true cause of his mortal demise? 1465 01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:44,833 In March 1900, the Gold Standard Act of the United States 1466 01:14:44,875 --> 01:14:46,916 was signed by William McKinley. 1467 01:14:48,041 --> 01:14:51,416 This declared gold as the only standard 1468 01:14:51,458 --> 01:14:53,791 for redeeming paper money, 1469 01:14:53,833 --> 01:14:55,500 and it was a knife in the gut 1470 01:14:55,541 --> 01:14:58,333 to the international centralized banks 1471 01:14:58,375 --> 01:14:59,500 who had been in and out 1472 01:14:59,541 --> 01:15:02,166 of America's money-issuing control 1473 01:15:02,208 --> 01:15:04,166 for the previous 100 years. 1474 01:15:05,250 --> 01:15:08,083 Under this act, United States notes 1475 01:15:08,125 --> 01:15:10,750 became redeemable for gold 1476 01:15:10,791 --> 01:15:15,833 at the then historic rate of $20.67 per ounce. 1477 01:15:17,541 --> 01:15:21,041 This bolstered U.S. notes' credibility as money, 1478 01:15:21,083 --> 01:15:23,583 and it substantially injured the strength 1479 01:15:23,625 --> 01:15:25,625 of private bank notes, 1480 01:15:25,666 --> 01:15:29,583 thus greatly diminishing international bankers' profits. 1481 01:15:30,916 --> 01:15:34,083 Having just endured one of the centralized bankers' 1482 01:15:34,125 --> 01:15:38,125 contrived panics, the Panic of 1893, 1483 01:15:39,416 --> 01:15:42,333 the president was adamant about the gold standard, 1484 01:15:42,375 --> 01:15:44,125 and he threatened full enforcement, 1485 01:15:45,416 --> 01:15:48,458 so it wasn't directly McKinley's trade policy 1486 01:15:48,500 --> 01:15:50,541 that threatened these banks. 1487 01:15:50,583 --> 01:15:52,541 It was the institution of the gold standard. 1488 01:15:53,750 --> 01:15:56,875 Further enraging the international bankers, 1489 01:15:56,916 --> 01:15:59,500 McKinley sent negotiators to Europe 1490 01:15:59,541 --> 01:16:01,875 to attempt a silver agreement with France 1491 01:16:01,916 --> 01:16:02,500 and Great Britain. 1492 01:16:03,791 --> 01:16:06,791 This would have made large sums of silver money 1493 01:16:06,833 --> 01:16:08,833 available in the cash-starved U.S. 1494 01:16:10,166 --> 01:16:14,250 McKinley, no doubt, had become Enemy Number One 1495 01:16:14,291 --> 01:16:16,000 to these powerful banks. 1496 01:16:17,083 --> 01:16:20,333 The Gold Standard Act declared that, 1497 01:16:20,375 --> 01:16:21,625 - [Narrator] "The gold dollar shall be 1498 01:16:21,666 --> 01:16:23,666 "the standard unit of value, 1499 01:16:23,708 --> 01:16:26,458 "and all forms of money issued or coined 1500 01:16:26,500 --> 01:16:29,250 "by the United States shall be maintained 1501 01:16:29,291 --> 01:16:32,708 "at a parity of value with this standard." 1502 01:16:32,750 --> 01:16:35,500 - Bank notes, U.S. notes, 1503 01:16:35,541 --> 01:16:37,916 and all other forms of money 1504 01:16:37,958 --> 01:16:41,666 had to conform to this standard. 1505 01:16:41,708 --> 01:16:44,791 No longer free to value different forms of money 1506 01:16:44,833 --> 01:16:46,541 as they saw fit, 1507 01:16:46,583 --> 01:16:48,916 the international bankers were constrained 1508 01:16:48,958 --> 01:16:50,416 from issuing paper money 1509 01:16:50,458 --> 01:16:53,083 that couldn't be redeemed in gold. 1510 01:16:53,125 --> 01:16:57,000 The gold standard ensured that the money supply 1511 01:16:57,041 --> 01:16:59,250 and hence the price level 1512 01:16:59,291 --> 01:17:02,083 would remain relatively constant, 1513 01:17:02,125 --> 01:17:04,958 which of course was a complete financial disaster 1514 01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,458 for the international centralized bankers. 1515 01:17:08,583 --> 01:17:10,791 This all changed with the assassination 1516 01:17:10,833 --> 01:17:12,041 of William McKinley. 1517 01:17:13,500 --> 01:17:15,750 For the gold standard to work, 1518 01:17:15,791 --> 01:17:19,125 banks were supposed to play by the rules of the game. 1519 01:17:20,125 --> 01:17:22,333 They were supposed to raise rates 1520 01:17:22,375 --> 01:17:23,791 to encourage gold inflow, 1521 01:17:25,083 --> 01:17:28,833 and to lower their rates to create a gold outflow. 1522 01:17:28,875 --> 01:17:32,166 The centralized bankers wanted to do neither. 1523 01:17:32,208 --> 01:17:35,791 And that's simply because these gold standard rules 1524 01:17:35,833 --> 01:17:39,125 took money-issuing control away from them 1525 01:17:39,166 --> 01:17:42,875 and caused them massive monetary losses. 1526 01:17:42,916 --> 01:17:46,958 Very quickly after President McKinley's 1901 assassination, 1527 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,875 his successor, the very famous and loved Theodore Roosevelt, 1528 01:17:52,208 --> 01:17:56,375 vastly limited the effect of the Gold Standard Act, 1529 01:17:56,416 --> 01:17:59,291 and the international bankers were back 1530 01:17:59,333 --> 01:18:01,500 in much better business. 1531 01:18:01,541 --> 01:18:06,208 Even more so, this initiated the meteoric rise 1532 01:18:06,250 --> 01:18:09,666 and creation of the Federal Reserve System. 1533 01:18:11,083 --> 01:18:13,791 With a motive of all motives in place, 1534 01:18:13,833 --> 01:18:16,500 these bankers just needed what was necessary 1535 01:18:16,541 --> 01:18:21,458 in the two prior presidential assassinations, a patsy, 1536 01:18:21,500 --> 01:18:23,416 and wouldn't Leon Czolgosz, 1537 01:18:23,458 --> 01:18:26,583 with his anarchist ties and his internal need 1538 01:18:26,625 --> 01:18:30,000 to become a somebody, be the perfect choice? 1539 01:18:30,791 --> 01:18:33,041 So perhaps common sense 1540 01:18:33,083 --> 01:18:35,875 coupled with an extraordinary motive 1541 01:18:35,916 --> 01:18:37,708 and a lot of history 1542 01:18:37,750 --> 01:18:41,375 makes it quite possible that Leon Czolgosz 1543 01:18:41,416 --> 01:18:43,500 did not act alone, 1544 01:18:43,541 --> 01:18:47,583 and that instead, he was a recruited patsy 1545 01:18:47,625 --> 01:18:49,541 for the international bankers 1546 01:18:49,583 --> 01:18:52,833 who needed William McKinley and his Gold Standard Act 1547 01:18:52,875 --> 01:18:54,458 out of the way. 1548 01:18:54,500 --> 01:18:57,583 One added interesting note about the McKinley assassination, 1549 01:18:59,041 --> 01:19:03,000 Leon Czolgosz was tried within a week of his shooting, 1550 01:19:03,041 --> 01:19:05,500 convicted the very next day, 1551 01:19:05,541 --> 01:19:08,000 and executed in under a month. 1552 01:19:08,041 --> 01:19:09,916 That was almost as quick a path 1553 01:19:09,958 --> 01:19:13,416 to rid the world of JFK's alleged lone assassin, 1554 01:19:13,458 --> 01:19:14,583 Lee Harvey Oswald. 1555 01:19:15,708 --> 01:19:18,333 As we all know, Oswald was gunned down 1556 01:19:18,375 --> 01:19:20,333 at the Dallas Police Department 1557 01:19:20,375 --> 01:19:23,666 just two days after he murdered John Kennedy. 1558 01:19:23,708 --> 01:19:26,125 Nice and tidy, get rid of the killers 1559 01:19:26,166 --> 01:19:28,791 before they can speak about any accomplices. 1560 01:19:28,833 --> 01:19:31,875 [eerie piano music] 1561 01:19:36,458 --> 01:19:40,916 You know the phrase "Where there's smoke, there's fire?" 1562 01:19:40,958 --> 01:19:45,041 Three presidents, Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, 1563 01:19:45,083 --> 01:19:48,833 and William McKinley instituted major upheavals 1564 01:19:48,875 --> 01:19:51,291 in the U.S. monetary system. 1565 01:19:51,333 --> 01:19:56,208 Specifically, they took power of issuing America's money 1566 01:19:56,250 --> 01:20:00,291 away from the centralized private banking cartels 1567 01:20:00,333 --> 01:20:04,708 and gave it to the U.S. Treasury, to the people. 1568 01:20:04,750 --> 01:20:09,000 And then these three presidents ended up dead. 1569 01:20:09,041 --> 01:20:13,208 But like I said, where there's smoke there's fire, 1570 01:20:13,250 --> 01:20:14,708 and another gun was fired 1571 01:20:14,750 --> 01:20:17,000 that killed yet another president, 1572 01:20:17,041 --> 01:20:20,416 a very famous one, John F. Kennedy. 1573 01:20:21,583 --> 01:20:23,958 This man didn't just upset Richard Nixon 1574 01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:26,000 in the presidential race 1575 01:20:26,041 --> 01:20:29,208 or communist Cuba with the Bay of Pigs. 1576 01:20:29,250 --> 01:20:32,791 No, he upset something much more powerful, 1577 01:20:32,833 --> 01:20:34,291 the Federal Reserve banks. 1578 01:20:35,458 --> 01:20:39,541 Since their insidious inception in 1913, 1579 01:20:39,583 --> 01:20:42,875 no U.S. president had ever dared to upset 1580 01:20:42,916 --> 01:20:45,916 their trillion dollar cartel enterprise. 1581 01:20:45,958 --> 01:20:48,708 Kennedy, however, took them on. 1582 01:20:48,750 --> 01:20:51,125 But how often have you heard about this? 1583 01:20:51,166 --> 01:20:55,458 What everyone has heard about, almost ad nauseam, 1584 01:20:55,500 --> 01:20:58,916 are endless debates about how Lee Harvey Oswald 1585 01:20:58,958 --> 01:21:02,583 could have assassinated JFK on his own. 1586 01:21:02,625 --> 01:21:05,375 Was Oswald a good enough marksman, 1587 01:21:05,416 --> 01:21:07,750 could he have gotten off three separate shots 1588 01:21:07,791 --> 01:21:12,083 with his low-budget 6.5 millimeter Carcano rifle 1589 01:21:13,166 --> 01:21:16,000 in the very quick timing of the shooting? 1590 01:21:16,041 --> 01:21:19,791 How did the magic bullet go through both President Kennedy 1591 01:21:19,833 --> 01:21:21,458 and Texas Governor John Connally? 1592 01:21:22,791 --> 01:21:25,708 These questions and several more of their type, 1593 01:21:25,750 --> 01:21:28,708 you've heard over and over again. 1594 01:21:29,916 --> 01:21:33,166 The Warren Commission, a group of politicos 1595 01:21:33,208 --> 01:21:36,166 assigned by President Lyndon B. Johnson 1596 01:21:36,208 --> 01:21:40,041 to officially investigate JFK's assassination, 1597 01:21:40,083 --> 01:21:42,416 determined that Oswald acted alone 1598 01:21:43,541 --> 01:21:45,375 and the assassination was carried out 1599 01:21:45,416 --> 01:21:48,250 via three bullets fired by him. 1600 01:21:49,250 --> 01:21:51,125 The general consensus, however, 1601 01:21:51,750 --> 01:21:55,041 is that the Warren Commission's findings were bogus 1602 01:21:55,083 --> 01:21:56,333 for numerous reasons. 1603 01:21:57,291 --> 01:21:59,291 Here are just a few examples. 1604 01:21:59,625 --> 01:22:03,625 Kennedy was killed while riding in a convertible limousine 1605 01:22:03,666 --> 01:22:06,583 down a Dallas street near Dealey Plaza. 1606 01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:09,250 Oswald's shooting position 1607 01:22:09,291 --> 01:22:12,041 at Dallas' School Book Depository building 1608 01:22:12,083 --> 01:22:13,500 was behind the limousine. 1609 01:22:14,708 --> 01:22:16,958 But the majority of witnesses interviewed 1610 01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,625 by the Warren Commission 1611 01:22:18,666 --> 01:22:21,333 said the shots came from the right front. 1612 01:22:22,708 --> 01:22:26,750 Many testified that they saw unidentified armed men 1613 01:22:26,791 --> 01:22:28,458 in the area. 1614 01:22:28,500 --> 01:22:30,916 Three Dallas police officers said 1615 01:22:30,958 --> 01:22:34,333 they came upon multiple fake Secret Service agents. 1616 01:22:35,458 --> 01:22:37,833 Others provided evidence to the Commission 1617 01:22:37,875 --> 01:22:41,875 that suggested a radio-coordinated assassination team 1618 01:22:41,916 --> 01:22:43,041 was at Dealey Plaza. 1619 01:22:44,375 --> 01:22:48,250 These type of discrepancies go on and on and on. 1620 01:22:48,291 --> 01:22:51,125 No doubt the Warren Commission's findings 1621 01:22:51,166 --> 01:22:53,166 had been rebuked, 1622 01:22:53,208 --> 01:22:55,416 and most intelligent observers realized 1623 01:22:55,458 --> 01:22:58,583 that Lee Harvey Oswald did not act alone 1624 01:22:58,625 --> 01:23:00,541 in assassinating John F. Kennedy. 1625 01:23:01,958 --> 01:23:06,791 In 1979, even a Congressional House Select Committee 1626 01:23:06,833 --> 01:23:10,708 found that JFK's assassination was very likely 1627 01:23:10,750 --> 01:23:12,791 the product of a conspiracy. 1628 01:23:13,875 --> 01:23:17,208 But why, at whose behest? 1629 01:23:17,250 --> 01:23:21,708 There are, of course, numerous propagandized theories. 1630 01:23:21,750 --> 01:23:26,500 Was it a conspiracy rooted in Cuban government sympathizers, 1631 01:23:26,541 --> 01:23:30,250 or the work of the Mafia, the CIA? 1632 01:23:30,291 --> 01:23:33,625 Or did Lyndon B.
