Ch10 - The Deep State and the Assassination of Lincoln

The Deep State and the Assassination of LincolnThe sources allege that Lincoln's assassination was part of a larger conspiracy orchestrated by a "trifold Deep State" opposed to his vision for America. This Deep State, according to the sources, consisted of three main factions:The Anglo-Canadian establishment: This group, descended from the "United Empire Loyalists" who fled the American Revolution, allegedly worked to undermine the United States from their bases in Canada. They were instrumental in creating the Rhodes Trust and were deeply embedded in British intelligence.The Eastern Establishment: These families, while remaining in the US, allegedly maintained loyalty to the British Empire and sought to advance its interests. They are accused of involving the US in the Opium trade with China and actively working to dissolve the Union.The Virginia Junto: This group of slave-owning aristocrats allied with the British Empire and are accused of playing a key role in the Confederacy. According to the sources, after the Civil War, figures like Albert Pike helped to restore their power.The sources point to several lines of evidence to support their claim of a Deep State conspiracy in Lincoln's assassination:Booth's connections to Confederate agents in Canada: John Wilkes Booth, Lincoln's assassin, spent time in Montreal in 1864, meeting with Confederate agents like Henry Starnes, Jacob Thompson, and George Sanders. The sources highlight that a bank draft signed by Starnes was found in Booth's possession after the assassination.Confederate Secret Service operations in Canada: The sources claim that the Confederate Secret Service was highly active in Canada during the Civil War, using it as a base for financial warfare, terrorism, and assassination plots against the Union. Montreal, in particular, served as a key hub for these activities.Financial warfare against Lincoln's Greenback: Confederate bankers, with alleged ties to figures like J.P. Morgan, launched a financial war against Lincoln's Greenback currency. They are accused of manipulating gold prices to devalue the Greenback and cripple Lincoln's ability to finance the war effort.British support for the Confederacy: The sources accuse Britain of providing significant support to the Confederacy, including building warships and providing safe haven to Confederate agents. They also point to the near outbreak of war between the US and Britain during the Trent Affair as evidence of British hostility.The sources maintain that despite the execution of some of Booth's co-conspirators, the true masterminds behind Lincoln's assassination escaped justice. They argue that the escape of figures like Judah Benjamin and the mysterious payment of John Surrat's bail point to a larger cover-up.The death of Lincoln, according to the sources, allowed the Deep State to sabotage his post-war plans for Reconstruction and economic independence. They argue that this same network continued to operate in the shadows, playing a role in the assassinations of President McKinley in 1901 and President Kennedy in 1963. Hosted on Acast.
