President Trump has promised to release the remaining files held on the JFK, RFK, and MLK murders.
There are a number of other files people have suggested be released as well (Watergate (which many believe was a CIA op), the attempt on Reagan’s life, the attempt on President Trump’s life in Butler PA, and no doubt others).
The Deep State in the form of Mike Pompeo blocked the congressionally-mandated release of the JFK files in President Trump’s first term, leading many to believe that one or more of the insane conspiracy theories about JFK’s murder may in fact be true. After all, almost everyone involved is dead now, May 1963 being 61 years ago, so if there is no there there, why block the release?
Which theory do you favor?
The CIA? mafia? Professor Plum in the Library with the Candlestick?
I’ll start. There’s a book about JFK’s murder subtitled `The Case Against LBJ’.
That’s my pick: I support the theory that LBJ was one of the conspirators.
I once read a (pretty convincing) sounding argument that JFK was planning to pull the US out of some structural thing such as gold standard, petrodollar or something like that. I honestly don’t remember what it was except that it was something pretty important. And the argument was that because of that he got snipped by some domestic interests.
It’s possible.
The post-WW2 monetary order was set at Bretton Woods in New Hampshire, USA, by Lord Keynes (a British homosexual socialist) and Harry Dexter White (a Soviet mole in the US government, who also played a large role in the ultimatum to Japan which lead to Pearl Harbor and the US entry into WW2).
The dollar was tied to gold ($35/oz? it was $20.67 before FDR) and other currencies were tied to the USD. Foreigners and foreign governments but not US citizens could redeem at that rate. As inflation lessened the value of the dollar (and indeed all fiat currencies), a flood of redemptions ensued, leading Nixon to close the gold window in the early 1970s, making the USD pure fiat.
I thought the petrodollar was the work of Hank Kissinger (again Nixon). The Arab nations launched a sneak attack on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day. Nixon saved Israel (Operation Nickel Grass) by resupplying her to replace the weaponry lost in the sneak attack. The Arab oil embargo ensued, and the petrodollar was part of the deal put together by Kissinger to sort everything out
Personally I feel that gold is much like bitcoin, its a SCAM. We should just dump all gold at market prices.
but lets pretend it has utility like everyone imagines. Anyways made props to dugalle, that dude sent a ship with all the usd to trade for 3.5m tonnes of gold. For comaprison the us had 20m. His action cause other people to follow, causing us gold to half to 8m forcing nixon to halt it.
Here is the CAGR:
from pre end of gold standard at 1971 at 35 to 2.8k today. its 8% per year, thats a lot but its a poor measurement, because by then at regular cagr gold’s price was fake.
From true end of gold standard at 1971 at 200 to 2.8k today, it’s 5% per hear, this is more accurate measure as we let market decide true rate of gold.
From true start of gold standard at 1944 at 35 to today, its 5% per year, that’s the true rate, because they marked it at the fair price at that time,
with any luck, we’ll soon finally found out the truth.
One of the conspiracy theories (no doubt fed by the CIA) was that Lee Harvey Oswald was a Soviet agent, yet we found out after the collapse of the USSR that the Soviets themselves thought that LBJ was behind the JFK murder
I’d be very cool to know what the truth is. I believe it’s already known, but speculating about alternatives is always interesting.
To be honest, I think conspiracy theories often seem more secretive than they actually are. Obviously a ■■■■ ton of shady things happen behind the scenes, and the public only gets a partial picture of events. To me it’s not even deceptive or wrong—it’s just the way things have always worked.
Indeed, and the rich and powerful flying to pedophile island hosted by Epstein, before Epstein committed suicide at the exact moment the prison cameras stopped working. What are the odds?
FBI finds secret JFK assassination records after Trump order
LOL, what are the odds.
Kash Patel (Trump’s nominee for FBI) seems like a good man, so if there’s anything else they’re still hiding over there (that they didn’t already shred 50 or 60 years ago), let’s hope he can find it
Keynes wanted to invent a global currency, `the Bancor.’
My choice would have been a full gold standard rather than the Gold Exchange Standard they settled on, so that all currencies would have been tied to gold rather than tied to the US dollar which was tied to gold.
What transpired with the Gold Exchange Standard was inevitable, and is an example of the Triffin Dilemma, although it appears to have been known long before Triffin (for example, wikipedia’s note 1 references a 1929 book by Feliks Młynarski.)
In order to maintain the Bretton Woods system,
the US had to run a balance of payments current account deficit to provide liquidity
for the conversion of gold into U.S. dollars.
With more US dollars in the system than were backed with gold under the Bretton Woods agreement,
the US dollar was overvalued relative to gold.
The gold reserves of the United States were decreasing as foreign governments converted US dollars to gold and took it offshore.
De Gaulle v. the Dollar
De Gaulle was an ingrate. The West backed him during the Nazi occupation of France, then he stabbed virtually everyone in the back.
Causing the collapse of Bretton Woods;
Stirring up Quebec nationalism (Vive le Quebec libre!);
Blocking UK membership of the EEC (which morphed into the EU)
Under Bretton Woods, it was inevitable that the US would run huge unsustainable trade deficits (as it continues to do to this day). The US dollar was tied to gold and other currencies were tied to the dollar.
Other countries were allowed to devalue their currencies, as happened for example in the 1967 sterling devaluation when the GBP was devalued from $2.80 to $2.40.
Chairman Comer and Rep. Luna Announce Republican Appointments to Declassification and Transparency Task Force
Congress is getting in on the act. They will be looking at not just the assassinations, but a whole bunch of other things including
the Russia Russia Russia hoax
the origins of Covid
9/11 (specifically the role of the Saudis. Sleepy Joe promised during the 2020 campaign that he would release any documents that related to that, but didn’t do so).
the withdrawal from afghanistan
UFOs
Epstein’s client list
and I’m sure countless other things
There’s probably stuff about the US entry into both world wars that’s still classified (the sinking of SS Lusitania, whether Soviet agents in the US government like Harry Dexter White engineered the US entry into WW2, the ultimatum to Japan, whether the US had advance warning of the attack on Pearl and did nothing, and so on), and if so, release that as well. The list is endless.
