Who ever heard of President Carters Assassination attempt?

Question

On May 5, 1979, ten minutes before President Jimmy Carter was to give a speech at the Civic Center Mall in Los Angeles revealing his plan to abolish funding for few government entities such as military, CIA and also reforming the US treasury and how US borrows its currency from a Foreign own Federal Reserve bank, US Secret Service arrested Raymond Lee Harvey an Ohio-born unemployed American drifter.

 LAPD investigated Harvey's claims that he was part of a four-man operation to assassinate the president. He claimed that he had been approached by three Latino men staying at the Alan Hotel who gave him the starter pistol, and asked him to shoot it into the ground to create a diversion, so they could then shoot the president from their hotel room during the distraction. According to Harvey, he fired seven blank rounds from the starter pistol on the hotel roof on the night of May 4, to test how much noise it would make, and then spent the night with one of the men he knew as "Julio", later identified as a 21-year-old illegal Mexican alien who gave the name Osvaldo Espinoza Ortiz. At the time of his arrest, Harvey had eight spent rounds in his pocket, as well as 70 unspent blank rounds for the gun.

The names "Lee Harvey" and "Osvaldo" drew comparisons to Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy. This incident was set up to scare Carter into submission who later stated that he has lost the control of the government.

It seems that every time a US president tries to make improvement for American people by getting rid of certain entities that are ruining the country such as the Federal Reserve system which is neither Federal nor has nay reserve, there is always an attempt for their lives. These terrorists have already succeeded many times by killing Lincoln, Kennedy for trying to print their own US currencies.

US media never reports these things and it gets white washed. Where would US be if they had their own currency rather than borrowing it from private entities such as Federal Reserve?

I agree with Mike. It always amazes me that some people will blindly accept any nonsense they see on the Internet, but when a reliable source provides them information or contradicts the conspiracy theory, they will ignore it. The story by the asker is an example of conspiracy theory nonsense that includes erroneous generalizations about the Federal Reserve, banking, and government funding in general.

EDIT: Claims that the Federal Reserve is private is a MYTH. "Ownership" of the Federal Reserve is misunderstood by most people. The Federal Reserve is actually controlled by a 100% governmental agency known as the Board of Governors. Each member of the Board of Governors is appointed by a President and confirmed by the Senate.

Beneath the Board of Governors are twelve Federal Reserve district banks. Each district bank does have "stock". However, this stock is significantly different than the stock of a regular corporation. First, the stock is not "sold" to just anyone. Only a bank with a national charter or a state charter can hold this stock (these would be U.S.-based and not mostly foreign owned). National banks are required by law to subscribe to the stock. The amount of stock a bank must hold is set by law and the Board of Governors as a percentage of the bank's paid-in capital. A state bank may subscribe to the stock if the state bank meets certain requirements. The stock can be thought of as representing a bank's membership in the Federal Reserve system.

Each share of stock has a set par value and that does not change. Each member bank pays the par value for the Federal Reserve district bank stock. The stock of a Federal Reserve bank does not confer any rights of ownership in the bank. The only benefits of the stock are: 1) pays a 6% dividend; and 2) each member bank has ONE vote for the district bank's board of directors. The dividend is to recompense the bank for the loss of use of it's capital. Each member bank gets one vote for six seats on the board of directors regardless of the number of shares that it holds. The other three seats on each bank's board of directors are selected by the Board of Governors. The Chairman and Vice Chairman of these boards of directors are selected by the Board of Governors.

If a Federal Reserve bank were to be dissolved, the member banks would be paid back the amount they paid for the stock plus any unpaid dividend regardless of the value of the Federal Reserve bank. All assets and liabilities would then become the responsibility and property of the U.S. Government.

There have been a few claims that courts have ruled that the Federal Reserve is private. These claims take the court's rulings out of context and misconstrue what the court actually says. In most instances, the court was determining the legal standing of a Federal Reserve district bank and not the entire system. Also, some claims leave out portions of the court's statement. For example, in one such case, the court ruled that a Federal Reserve district bank was a private entity in regards to the Federal Tort Claims Act(FTCA) only. The court also said that a Federal Reserve district bank has been properly held to be a Federal instrumentality in other situations. The FTCA allows individuals to sue the U.S. Government if an employee of a federal entity caused the tort. However, the FTCA does not apply to those entities that have a process for handling tort claims within the legislation governing them. The Federal Reserve Act contains a section regarding tort claims against district banks, the Board of Governors, or any other part of the system.

All of the above is in accordance with law.
See 12 USC Chapter 3

The only person showing their ignorance here is the asker of the question. BTW, I am not a Christian. Besides, whether I or the other poster are Christian or not has absolutely nothing to do with your original posting. The only thing that your statement about being a Christian is that it shows the inability of your brain to think in any logical flow. Finally, not all Christians believe that the Earth began only 6,000 years ago. Those are creationists and only a small portion of Christians which shows further proof of your ignorance.

Also, I do investigate things and do not blindly accept everything that I read. However, you obviously believe anything that comes from any conspiracy theory website instead of looking up the law or the situation for yourself.

And exactly how seriously are we supposed to take the claims of an unemployed 'drifter' when there is no information to support such a wild story?

The issue you have here is that the guy's story is simply not credible.  

BTW - did you notice how your report states that the claims were investigated by the LAPD - but carefully left out the results of the investigation?

When reading accounts from conspiracy theorists - it is always a good idea to ask what relevant facts they left out.
