Louis McFadden and Conspiracy Theories

Louis T. McFadden (1876-1936) was a Representative from Pennsylvania. He made a scathing speech before Congress in 1934 accusing the Federal Reserve of being corrupt and of causing the Great Depression.

He survived a first assassination attempt (two revolver shots missed him), then he became violently ill after eating some food at a political banquet in Washington, DC. A physician friend quickly procured a stomach pump and saved his life. Shortly after this he took a trip to New York City where after another banquet he suffered a "dose of intestional flu" and died. The cause of death as listed on the death certificate however was "heart failure".

While I am on the topic, Charles Lindbergh, Sr. (1859-1924) was a Representative from Minnesota who was opposed to the Federal Reserve Act. His son was the famous aviator (and alleged Nazi sympathizer) and his infant grandson, also named Charles Lindbergh was kidnapped and murdered in 1932. Coincidence? Of course. But there is a conspiracy theory that the man executed for the Lindbergh kidnapping was actually innocent. One theory is that the aviator accidently killed his own son and covered it up with the kidnapping claim (a la Jon Benet Ramsey, whose father was a pilot).

While I am talking about conspiracy theories, John F. Kennedy signed an executive order (#11110) limiting the power of the Federal Reserve only a few months before his assassination.

Now you know the rest of the story.
