A lot of reasons. He was tough on the CIA and military, holding them *gasp* accountable for thier secret plans (ie, bay of pigs invasion), not to mention cracked down on organized crime, which is something I happen to know alot about. You may believe me or not, but I know for a fact that the Kennedy's had connections to the mafia. The mafia helped get JFK elected, thinking that he would 'play ball' like his bootlegging father. JFK did not, and that really pissed the mafia off. Not to mention his peaceful resolution of the cuban missile crisis. The list goes on and on......keep reading Brian, and keep an open mind.....
i heard some stuff on the whole mafia thing too..... could u email me some info on that plez or some websites i could look at.... thanx my email is punkchyc4lyfe@yahoo.com
The following information is from a site talking about how banking interests have taken over our country and Kennedy was trying to bypass them.
"Subject: JFK vs. The Federal Reserve.
"The high office of the President has been used to foment a plot to
destroy the Americans freedom and before I leave office I must inform the
Citizen of his plight." PRESIDENT JOHN F. KENNEDY(10 days before he was
murdered)
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 Common Law Institute has exhaustively researched this matter
through the Federal Register and Library of Congress and 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conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or
superceded by any subsequent Executive Order.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.
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. "United States Notes" were issued as an interest-free and
debt-free currency backed by silver reserves in the U.S. Treasury.
In the illustrations below, a "Federal Reserve Note" issued from the
private central bank of the United States (the Federal Reserve Bank a/k/a
Federal Reserve System), is compared with a "United States Note" from the
U.S. Treasury issued by President Kennedy's Executive Order. They almost
look alike, except one says "Federal Reserve Note" on the top while the
other says "United States Note". Also, the Federal Reserve Note has a green
seal and serial number while the United States Note has a red seal and
serial number.
President Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 and the United
States Notes he had issued were immediately taken out of circulation.
Federal Reserve Notes continued to serve as the legal currency of the
nation. According to the United States Secret Service, 99% of all U.S. paper
"currency" circulating in 1999 are Federal Reserve Notes.
Kennedy knew that if the silver-backed United States Notes were widely
circulated, they would have eliminated the demand for Federal Reserve Notes.
This is a very simple matter of economics. The USN was backed by silver and
the FRN was not backed by anything of intrinsic value. Executive Order 11110
should have prevented the national debt from reaching its current level
(virtually all of the nearly $9 trillion in federal debt has been created
since 1963) if LBJ or any subsequent President were to enforce it. It would
have almost immediately given the U.S. Government the ability to repay its
debt without going to the private Federal Reserve Banks and being charged
interest to create new "money". Executive Order 11110 gave the U.S.A. the
ability to, once again, create its own money backed by silver and real value
worth something.
Again, just five months after Kennedy was assassinated, no more of the
Series 1958 "Silver Certificates" were issued either, and they were
subsequently removed from circulation.
Perhaps the assassination of JFK was a warning to all future
presidents not to interfere with the private Federal Reserve's control over
the creation of money. It seems very apparent that President Kennedy
challenged the "powers that exist behind U.S. and world finance". With true
patriotic courage, JFK boldly faced the two most successful vehicles that
have ever been used to drive up debt: 1) war (Vietnam); 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."
