BOMBSHELL: The Rothschild’s Sank The Titanic to Set UP The Federal Reserve

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br>There’s a theory that links the Rothschild’s, the sinking of the Titanic, and the creation of the Federal Reserve.<br><br>On Friday I stumbled across a tweet sent in reply to a prominent finance parody account on Twitter. It featured the black-and-white image of three men and the Titanic.<br><br>The text on the photos named Benjamin Guggenheim, Isa Strauss (actual name Isidor Straus), and David Astor as three wealthy men who died on the Titanic. So far, so good — the men were all real and wealthy.<br><br><br>Below each name it says “opposed new Federal Reserve Bank.” The Titanic’s sinking happened in 1912, and the opening of the Federal Reserve happened in 1913. Was the hint that their opposition to the Fed and their deaths were somehow linked?<br><br>I had to find out.<br><br>I Googled their names and found that it was indeed a conspiracy theory. Websites with names like “disinfo,” and “helpfreetheearth” all host versions of the story.<br>

<br>As with many other conspiracy theories, there’s a transparently tint to the story, and the Rothschild family is implicated (as it is in almost every conspiracy theory involving money in any way).<br><br><img src="http://www.conspiracyclub.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/cq4i3bmveaangbs.jpg"></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br>The State of Texas is setting up a gold-backed bank that will allow depositors to bypass the controversial Federal Reserve System and its fiat currency in banking and commerce, according to the state representative who authored the recently enacted law. Under the measure, passed overwhelmingly by lawmakers and signed in mid-June by Republican Governor Greg Abbott, Lone Star State officials will establish and operate the Texas Bullion Depository for anyone who would like to deposit and trade in precious metals. The implications are as big as Texas.</span><br>

Executive Order 11110: JFK Vs. The Federal Reserve

TheWake UpCall 0 Federal Reserve, JFK 2:02 AM

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br><br>On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically 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. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid.<br><br>When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy – the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically 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 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” 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 there. As a result, more than $4 billion 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. It appears obvious that President Kennedy knew the Federal Reserve Notes being used as the purported legal currency were contrary to the Constitution of the United States of America.</span><div>

The American people like to think that we have a “democratic system”, but there is nothing “democratic” about the Federal Reserve.

There is a reason why financial markets respond with a yawn when Barack Obama says something about the economy, but they swing wildly whenever Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke opens his mouth.

What Is the Federal Reserve – And Why is it Private?

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amazingly enough, most people don’t know that the Federal Reserve Bank is a private institution. It’s so private that despite its profound influence and power, no one is allowed to know who the board of directors are or any of its inner workings. Yet they control not just the production and flow of money in America, but the economic mechanisms that drive the US economy and thus much of the rest of the world. <br><br>If the American people truly understood how the Federal Reserve system works and what it has done to us, they would be screaming for it to be abolished immediately. It is a system that was designed by international bankers for the benefit of international bankers, and it is systematically impoverishing the American people. The Federal Reserve system is the primary reason why our currency has declined in value by well over 95 percent and our national debt has gotten more than 5000 times larger over the past 100 years. The Fed creates our “booms” and our “busts”, and they have done an absolutely miserable job of managing our economy. <br><br><br><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD8bKP6iFCkqbUTZVDqcTgj12AfqJXGfrJil5mJfCdPCHVu88uycxRzd2cVmVJ_iBRXPwsuorbf8GsNc4YaXyqmuxQHf_z8pPDTdAFssjdGlZPekIosPtBjO7-jZoBL1lQylMCqKSUN6g/s1600/fed-reservedees1.jpg"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiD8bKP6iFCkqbUTZVDqcTgj12AfqJXGfrJil5mJfCdPCHVu88uycxRzd2cVmVJ_iBRXPwsuorbf8GsNc4YaXyqmuxQHf_z8pPDTdAFssjdGlZPekIosPtBjO7-jZoBL1lQylMCqKSUN6g/s640/fed-reservedees1.jpg"></a> </span></div>
