共济会这个名字，听起来就带着点神秘的味道。它不像咱们平时接触的那些组织，公开透明，反而总让 人觉得它藏在幕后，操控着什么大事。尤其在美国，从建国那会儿到现在的金融体系，共济会的影响力 似乎无处不在。有人甚至说，为了保住自己的利益，他们宁可干掉美国总统，也不让某些事发生。 共济会是什么来头？ 共济会最早起源于欧洲中世纪，那时候是个石匠和建筑师的行会组织。干活儿的匠人们聚在一起，互通 有无，慢慢形成了自己的规矩和仪式。后来到了1717年，伦敦成立了第一个共济总会，这算是现代共济 会的起点。它的核心理念挺吸引人，推崇理性、自由、平等，反对宗教对政治的瞎掺和，跟启蒙运动那 股风潮很合拍。 共济会的活动有种神秘感，等级分明，仪式感十足，吸引了不少知识分子和贵族加入。到18世纪，它就 像开了挂一样，传到了法国、德国，最后漂洋过海到了美国。在美国，共济会的影响力一下子就起来 了。1730年代，它传到北美殖民地，很快就扎根在精英圈子里。 比如乔治·华盛顿，1752年加入了弗吉尼亚的共济会所；本杰明·富兰克林更厉害，直接当上了宾夕法尼 亚共济会的大导师。还有约翰·汉考克、保罗·里维尔这些建国大佬，也都是共济会的人。据统计，17 ...

1963年11月22日，肯尼迪在敞篷车上被爆头。官方说凶手是个精神病，但美国人至今不信——因为总统 触碰了比核弹更危险的东西：美元发行权。 肯尼迪遇刺前5个月，签署了第11110号总统令，允许财政部绕过美联储发行银元券。这是美国历史上第 一次有总统试图收回货币主权。结果他成了20世纪唯一被当街枪杀的美国总统。 类似的剧本1865年就演过。林肯为打赢南北战争，发行了不受银行家控制的"绿钞"。内战结束三年后， 他在剧院包厢被爆头，所有改革文件神秘消失。 这两位总统用生命验证了共济会的铁律：总统可以换，美元系统不能改。美国开国时56位《独立宣言》 签署者中，53人是共济会成员；华盛顿就职时用的《圣经》和圆规方矩，全是共济会仪式道具。 1913年圣诞节前夜，美国国会匆忙通过《联邦储备法案》。这个看似国家央行的机构，实际是12家私人 银行的联合体。政府想用钱得打欠条（国债），美联储则能凭空印钞吃利息——2022年数据显示，美国 政府每收1美元税，就有0.3美元用于支付美联储利息。 肯尼迪遇刺当天，财政部刚印好的4.3亿银元券被紧急封存。他死后20小时，继任的约翰逊立刻叫停银 元券发行。这套"死亡接力"暴露了真相：总统只 ...
