It’s our money, and we’re free to spend it any way we please … If you have money you spend it, and win. Rose Kennedy, re Robert’s 1968 campaign
There was things he [Kennedy] could have done and was doing. He had his Treasury Secretary – they were beginning to alter federal regulations and rules allowing power to be drawn back from the Federal Reserve system – and back into the private banking system ... He really thought he was president of the United States. Leader of the free world. And he thought that he could make decisions in the best interests of the public, namely, issue money that was interest free ... The only other US president to issue interest-free money was Abraham Lincoln ... Both of those men were shot in the head in broad daylight. Jim Marrs, JFK: Killed by International Bankers, with Alex Jones & Robert Groden
