The real reason Lincoln was assassinated

Guess whose picture graces the largest banknote in US history? Why Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury during the Civil War, who came from Ohio and didn’t own any shares of the powerful New York bank, but its executives were so happy with Chase’s policies they decided to re-name their corporation after him! Chase printed the first greenbacks and put his own image on those as well.

But before Chase Bank was born, it was known as The Bank of the Manhattan Company, and founded by Aaron Burr, the greatest British spy who never got caught, although Burr was tried for treason, he escaped the gallows due to his advanced cipher technologies. His encryption of all his correspondence saved his life, for had his full relationship with England been revealed, Burr would have lost his life during the Revolutionary War. Washington wisely removed from command sensing his duplicity and penchant for intrigue.

Most Americans don’t realize it, but the overwhelming majority of Americans prior to the Civil War viewed John Brown as an insane terrorist and abolitionists were shunned as fanatics, yet by the war’s end almost every Northerner would be singing his battle hymn.

Chase created the Republican Party and led its radical abolitionist wing, a cabal that took over the country when the South seceded.

Yes, a small cabal of Radical Republicans fomented the Civil War and a possible reason a few Northern banks funded the abolitionist movement may have been the realization the Southern economy would eventually outpace the North due to the economic advantage of slavery. But without slaves, the South would lose trillions in assets and would never out-compete the North. So while it’s really great we got rid of slavery, please don’t think these bankers did it for the noble motives they claim.

The reason the Civil War had to last so long and be so bloody was so the North would embrace the abolitionist cause and allow this cabal to punish the South as a conquered nation after the war. Had General George B. McClellan been simply left alone, Richmond may have surrendered early, and the South welcomed back into Congress with slavery intact. For this reason, the Civil War was engineered to be as long and bloody as possible, and it certainly was. McClellan never would have waged war on civilians like Sherman obviously did.

And that’s why Secretary of War Edwin Stanton turned against his old pal McClellan, and help run him off his command, because McClellan believed slavery was legal under the Constitution, and while the South shouldn’t be allowed to secede, in his view, they should have been allowed to keep their slaves.

After General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army at Appomattox, President Lincoln and his Secretary of State began working on plans for total forgiveness, which meant the cabal of Radical Republicans who’d been running the country (and looting it four-ways-to-Sunday) were about to lose power once the old Southern guard was restored to join the moderate Republicans against the Radicals. Instead of plundering the South for patronage, bribes and booty, the Radicals were about to be left with the short end of every Congressional stick. And they knew it.

The obvious solution was to get rid of Lincoln and his Secretary of State, which is exactly what happened.

Just about everything you know about the assassination is wrong because it was a script carefully plotted out with no real facts to support it, except ones that were obviously manufactured. You’ve been told there was an aborted attempt on Vice President Johnson that night, as well as attempts planned on General Ulysses S. Grant and Secretary of War Stanton. But those allegations were concocted by people paid for testimony, and later proven to be perjurers, and many had been coached to lay a trail to Confederate President Jefferson Davis, the ultimate scapegoat of the plot (just as Fidel Castro was initially designed to be the scapegoat for JFK’s assassination, hence Oswald’s bus ride to the Cuban embassy in Mexico City).

Forgotten today is that Davis was convicted of Lincoln’s assassination by Stanton’s illegal military tribunal, the same one that hung Mary Surratt, but when Davis was captured later, only the charge of treason was brought, and Davis soon released without trial. This was because a trial would have opened more holes in tribunal’s parade of manufactured evidence, something already exposed during Johnson’s impeachment hearings and the trial of Confederate spy John Surratt, a close friend of Booth’s who was captured in Egypt. Surratt’s mother, a complete innocent, had been swiftly hung by the military court, yet the son, who was the real Confederate spook, walked free because there was no evidence linking him to Lincoln’s assassination.
