...On June 4, 1963, Executive Order 1110 was signed by President
Kennedy directing the US Treasury to issue a new US currency. This new
US currency was to be backed by a precious metal - silver, unlike the
credit-backed money issued by the Federal Reserve since 1913.

EXECUTIVE ORDER 1110 AMENDMENT OF EXECUTIVE ORDER NO, 10289 AS
AMENDED, RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF CERTAIN FUNCTIONS AFFECTING
THE DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by section 301 of title 3 of

John F. Kennedy, The White House. June 4, 1963

By the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy’s signing of Executive Order
1110 returned the power to issue currency back to the US Treasury
thereby ending the fifty year monopoly of private bankers and the
Federal Reserve Bank over US currency. Six months later, President
John F. Kennedy was shot and killed. ...

RE: Lee Harvey Oswald didn't have a motive;

James McDonald: Can you recall Oswald expressing at this time, soon
after your marriage but prior to the return, prior to your return to
the United States, do you recall him expressing any views about the
United States and its political system, either pro or con, for or
against.

Marina Oswald: No.

James McDonald: And specifically regarding John Kennedy?

Marina Oswald: What I learned about John Kennedy it was only through
Lee practically, and he always spoke very complimentary about the
President. He was very happy when John Kennedy was elected.

James McDonald: And you are saying while you were still in the Soviet
Union he was very complimentary about John Kennedy?

Marina Oswald: Yes, it seemed like he was talking about how young and
attractive the President of the United States is.

James McDonald: Can you recall during this time when he ever expressed
any contrary views about Kennedy?

Marina Oswald: Never.

We both liked President Kennedy. ...

But with Oswald, no motive was determined, and while there were many
mass speculations of possible motives, those who investigated Oswald’s
background were perplexed by this.

As this [Commission Document 107 FBI Sup. Investigation of Assass.
Pres. Kennedy,
http://www.maryferrell.org/mffweb/archive/viewer/showDoc.do?docId=10507&relPageId=73]
dated 13, January 1964 notes:

“Investigation has (1) developed detailed background information
concerning Oswald from his birth to his death; (2) strengthened the
evidence that Oswald was the assassin of the President although no
clear-cut motive has been established; and (3) despite numerous
allegations which have been investigated, developed no sound evidence
indicating that he received any financial assistance or that any other
person, group, or foreign government inspired or directed the
assassination or was cognizant of his plan to assassinate President
Kennedy. On the contrary, the data developed strongly indicates that
he acted on his own initiative or impulse with little advance
planning.”

According to The Detection of Murder Handbook by Weston and Kessler,
motive is defined as, “that which stems from within the individual,
rather than from without. It is that which incites an individual to
certain actions. Motive is the ‘why’ of the act, the reason for it.”

Intent on the other hand, “is the result of the motive, and is the
bridge between motive and action. Without intent, no action would be
taken. When plans are made to do some act then an intent to do that
act has been made as the result of some motivation. The intent in
murder is to kill. The motive might be anything.”

“In securing convictions for first degree murder it is imperative that
the correct motive be shown to the jury,” Weston and Kessler write in
their Handbook.“Conviction for ‘Murder One’ must be supported by proof
beyond a reasonable doubt that the homicide was committed by the
accused from a premeditated and deliberate design to affect the death
of the person killed. It must be shown that there was a deliberate
premeditated intention to kill, and that the killing followed. Proof
of premeditation and deliberation requires proof of some reflection
preceding the actual murder. If a killer thinks about the killing and
makes a choice as a result of such mental action, then there is
sufficient deliberation within the law.”

Most importantly, the Handbook on The Detection of Murder says,
“Motive or its absence may be of considerable importance in
determining the intent of the defendant. Murderous intent may be
inferred from motive clearly established, while the absence of motive
is more than pertinent to the question of intent where it is an
issue.”

Well Oswald’s motives and intentions are clearly an issue when none
can be identified, so it is an issue that must be addressed, even
though it is ignored by the Warren Commission and pretty much everyone
who accuses Oswald of being a murderer.

As for possible motives, Weston and Kessler say there are seven
specific motives – 1) profit, 2) elimination, 3) revenge, 4) jealousy,
5) conviction, 6) sadism, 7) sex, along with 8) insanity, in which the
motive is without reason.

As for Oswald, sex has been suggested by some who espouse him as
Kennedy’s killer, like Warren Commissioner Gerald Ford, who wrote a
book Portrait of the Assassin that promotes the ideas that Oswald was
impotent and beat his wife, even though she had a baby, Oswald’s
daughter, less than a month before the assassination, and he was a
proud and considerate father.

Others say Oswald killed the President because his wife spurned him
the night before, though this possible motive fails to consider the
fact he would have had to take the brown paper bag from work to Irving
with him in order to return with the rifle, something he had to decide
to do before he went to the Paine home in Irving the night before.

They also tried to fly the idea that revenge was the motive, putting
forth the notion that Oswald accidently shot JFK while trying to kill
Governor Connally, the former Secretary of the Navy when Oswald’s
Marine Corps discharge was changed from honorable to undesirable,
which Oswald unsuccessfully tried to rectify in a letter to Connally.
Thus the motive of retribution and revenge, but his brother Robert,
also an ex-Marine, said his brother talked to him about that problem
and didn’t seem to hold a grudge against Connally at all.

For many Oswald appeared to be motivated by conviction, also often
referred to as ideology, because of his defection to the Soviet Union,
his Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC) activities, and the alleged
trip to Mexico City to visit the Cuban and Russian embassies to get a
visa to Cuba and Russia. He was a diehard, leftist, Commie defector,
or so they say, with the Warren Report concluding, “Oswald was moved
by an overriding hostility to his environment. He does not appear to
have been able to establish meaningful relationships with other
people. He was perpetually disconnected with the world around him….”
Or so they would have us believe.

Conviction is the fixed conviction that anything, including murder, is
necessary to carry out a plan, whether it’s religious, political or
personal, but it was clearly established that Oswald actually liked
President Kennedy and never said anything detrimental about him. Many
of his actions were ideologically motivated however.

The Warren Commission pushed conviction as the most likely motive for
Oswald to kill the President, but they also give us a choice, noting
also that “He sought for himself a place in history,” though that
motive is hard to swallow since Oswald himself denied having committed
the crime and claimed to be “a patsy.”

There was a point in time where it looked like we would get to the
bottom of all this when former prosecutor Richard Sprague was named
the chief counsel of the House Select Committee on Assassinations
(HSCA), and began to undertake a serous investigation into the
assassinations of President Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.

When asked about Oswald’s motive, Sprague is said to have responded,
“I am not interested in whether Oswald was fed at his mother’s breast
or not, my approach to motive is more direct.” Although he is reported
to have been the son of two psychiatrists, Sprague successfully
prosecuted the killers of the president of the United Mine Workers,
and knew how to investigate and prosecute those responsible for a
political assassination.

But then the powers that be in Washington were quite taken aback that
there would be a serious investigation into the murder of the
President and had Sprague removed and replaced by G. Robert Blakey,
the university professor, author of the RICO statutes and promoter of
the conspiracy theory that the Mafia was behind JFK’s assassination.

Most of those who continue to promote the idea that the Mafia was
behind Oswald, say that he was promised money, and that profit was his
motive, though no one who actually knew Oswald or studied him believes
that Oswald ever did anything for money. Making a lot of money was
never the reason Oswald did anything.

Some of those who claim Oswald killed JFK alone say that he did so
because he was just plain crazy, and therefore we’ll never know why he
did it, but the psychologically deranged motive can be consider and
rejected for a number of reasons.
