The good, and certainly correct, answer is already known. People just don't want to hear it.
Excutive order 11,110 if implemented would've put the US on a silver standard. The Fed didnt want the currency based in a commodity (we were all but off the gold standard at that point with the last link of the American Dollar to gold broken in the 70's) JFK simply made enemies with the Federal Reserve.
It's just one of the many theories out there regarding JFK. Excutive order 11,110 can be looked up.
And one of the sillier ones; at least the Mob is plausible. But the Fed? What?It also happens to be a conspiracy theory, which is verboten on this board.
I know the thread was tempting, but everyone else managed to avoid it until you came along at post # 45 (and with one of most outlandish, and frankly poorly thought out) conspiracy theories running loose.Excutive order 11,110 if implemented would've put the US on a silver standard.

Anyone know why in Watchmen, the Comedian was the shooter on the grassy knoll?
One incredibly pregnant word: Cuba.
I think the better question is, "Why didn't Dr. Manhattan warn JFK?"In the comics there were hints that he'd both assassinated JFK and prevented ATL Watergate. OTOH Watchmen is a world with a naked blue magic-man as the USA's major strategic deterrence, so having a JFK conspiracy in a world like that might actually be some rather subtle commentary on the part of Alan Moore.

It certainly is, it is also one of the stupidest.It's just one of the many theories out there regarding JFK.

Has anyone actually done a TL where Kennedy was assassinated by a conspiracy? A realistic take on how that might happen and what would unfold in the aftermath could be interesting.
