Did you know this? If a president threatens the powers-that-be, he is assassinated. If a whistleblower exposes their secret cables, lies, and treachery, he is smeared, arrested, and thrown in jail. If the powers-that-be decide to institute draconian controls over our lives and illegally grow the profits of banks and defense contractors, they fly airplanes into buildings and start an abstract war against an abstract enemy. Freedom and liberty are illusions. Try to withdraw a measly $10,000 in cash from a bank and learn how fast the bastards will send your name and address to headquarters in an alert message that fingers you for suspicious activity! -ng- Freedom and liberty are illusions!

I had heard of it, but it didn't come to light until much later. Can't say exactly as to when it became somewhat known. -ng-

E.O. 11110 was never reversed by President Lyndon B. Johnson and remained on the books until President Ronald Reagan issued Executive Order 12608 on September 9, 1987 as part of a general clean-up of executive orders. E.O. 12608 specifically revoked the sections added by E.O. 11110 which effectively revoked the entire Order. By this time, however, the remaining legislative authority behind E.O. 11110 had been repealed by Congress when Pub.L. 97-258 was passed in 1982. In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver certificates for silver dollars. In the 1970s, large numbers of the remaining silver dollars in the mint vaults were sold to the collecting public for collector value. All redemption in silver ceased on June 24, 1968.
