Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln saw big business and corporations as a big threat to him and the Southern Confederacy. The Illuminati planned Lincoln's assassination to stop him from speaking out against them, and it was carried out on April 15, 1865. Lincoln had been quoted as saying, "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace and conspire against it in times of adversity. The banking powers are more despotic than a monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. They denounce as public enemies all who question their methods or throw light upon their crimes."
