Eight weeks later while reading his mail, he had a sharp and severe pain in the back of his head. Within two minutes he collapsed and became unconscious due to a massive cerebral hemorrhage that would take his life two hours later. His blood pressure that morning was in excess of 300 mm Hg systolic and 190 mm Hg diastolic.2
The cause of FDR’s malignant hypertension remains unknown. Was it renovascular or due to other causes? An autopsy was never done. According to Dr. Bruenn he had no evidence of renal dysfunction and had only one episode of coronary insufficiency without a myocardial infarction.2
Wallace served as Secretary of Agriculture until September 1940, when Roosevelt selected him as his running mate in the Vice Presidential slot on the 1940 presidential ticket. However, the conservative wing of the Democratic Party, many of them Southerners, mistrusted Wallace:
Wallace was an unreconstructed liberal reformer and New Dealer, qualities that recommended him to Roosevelt. But the old guard Democratic Party deeply distrusted Wallace as an apostate Republican and as a doe-eyed mystic who symbolized all that they found objectionable about [what they saw as] the hopelessly utopian, market-manipulating, bureaucracy-breeding New Deal.[24]
---------
On May 8, 1942, Wallace delivered his most famous speech, which became known by the phrase "Century of the Common Man", to the Free World Association in New York City. This speech, grounded in Christian references, laid out a positive vision for the aftermath of the Second World War, beyond the defeat of the Nazis. He laid out a blueprint for a world of shared prosperity and in which colonialism and economic exploitation would be banned. The speech, and the book of the same name which appeared the following year, proved quite popular, but earned Wallace enemies among the Democratic leadership, business leaders, conservatives, and allied leaders like Winston Churchill.
----------
After Wallace feuded publicly with Jesse H. Jones and other high officials, Roosevelt stripped him of his war agency responsibilities and began to entertain the idea of replacing him on the presidential ticket. Although a Gallup poll taken just before the Democratic Party's 1944 vice presidential nomination found 65% of those surveyed in favour of a renewed Vice Presidency for Wallace and only 2% favouring his eventual opponent, Harry S. Truman, it was Truman who went on to win the nomination.[27] Wallace was succeeded as Vice President on January 20, 1945, and on April 12, Vice President Truman succeeded to the Presidency when President Franklin D. Roosevelt died. Henry A. Wallace had missed being the 33rd President of the United States by just 82 days.
----------
Roosevelt placated Wallace by appointing him Secretary of Commerce in March 1945. In a speech on April 12th 1946, Henry Wallace said that "aside from our common language and common literary tradition, we have no more in common with Imperialistic England than with Communist Russia". He was notoriously "soft" on Communism, but his distaste for American involvement with Britain and Europe was widely shared across the political spectrum.[28] In September 1946, he was fired by President Harry S. Truman because of disagreements about the policy towards the Soviet Union. He is the last former Vice President to serve in the President's cabinet.

Checking into the thread again after awhile, and now it's awash in presidential assassinations of obviously unhealthy presidents (or their dad's, in the case of Joseph Kennedy). You really take this conspiracy theory themed site to new levels of conspiracy, have to give you credit for that.
Director Oliver Stone focused on Wallace's career in the second episode, entitled "Roosevelt, Truman, and Wallace", of his 2012 documentary series, Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States.
The records of the February 1945 Yalta meeting, now public, also show that Roosevelt put on the table his plans to place the British Empire under international supervision, as a step toward dismantling it. According to Elliot Roosevelt, Churchill responded with rage:
``I will never agree to the fumbling fingers of 40 or 50 nations prying into the existence of the British Empire.... While there is life in my body, no transfer of British sovereignty will be permitted.''
----------
In Teheran, in one-on-one meetings with Stalin, Roosevelt told the Soviet leader of his plans to end all empires. Stalin, according to some reports, became scared at the implications. Didn't the President understand that this might mean war, with the British, and explosions in the former colonial sector? he asked. Roosevelt replied that risks were going to have to be taken to create a better world. The two leaders agreed that Indochina would be ``liberated,'' as well as other colonial areas.
----------
``I was told,'' his son reports the President as stating, ``six years ago, to clean out that State Department. It's like the British Foreign Office....''
``I'll take care of these matters myself,'' was Roosevelt's now usual response on matters of crucial policy. ``I am the only person I can trust.''
The State Department prepared voluminous briefing books and policy papers for the November 1943 Cairo meetings with Chiang Kai-shek and Churchill and the Teheran meetings with Stalin and Churchill. Roosevelt not only left the books behind--he left all State Department officials behind, to stew in Washington!
----------
Churchill could no longer contain himself. On Nov. 10, 1942 he rose in the British Parliament to acclaim the allied landings in North Africa. Instead, he launched into a defense of British war aims, stating that they had not entered the war for profit or the expansion of territory under the Union Jack. Then, he stated,
``Let me, however, make this clear, in case that there should be any mistake about it in any quarter. We mean to hold our own. I have not become the King's First Minister in order to preside over the liquidation of the British Empire.''
Roosevelt made no direct comments on Churchill's remarks. In a letter to an aide, he wrote:
``We are going to have worse trouble with Britain [after the war] than we do with Nazi Germany now.''
----------
On the other side of the Atlantic, at 10 Downing Street, in Churchill's situation room, similar maps and deployments were on display. Churchill's main goal, however, was to preserve the British imperial system, in one form or another. In that regard, the United States and Franklin Roosevelt represented a greater strategic threat than either the Germans, whose Nazi government had been created by British bankers, or the Japanese, whose royal family was manipulated by British assets; a potential American postwar alliance with the Russians merely enhanced that threat.
----------
Churchill insisted that this only applied to occupied nations. Roosevelt, however, demanded the inclusion of the term all, meaning that its applicability was universal--it included all colonial peoples, including the British Empire.
The British leadership now knew first hand, if they had only feared or suspected as much before, that Roosevelt, as a matter of absolute conviction, was at war with the British Empire. Elliot recounts the following outburst from Churchill:
``Mr. President, I believe you are trying to do away with the British Empire. Every idea you entertain about the structure of the postwar world demonstrates it.... But in spite of that, you constitute our only hope. You know it. We know it. You know that we know that without America, the British Empire won't stand.''
------------
Orders that were being prepared for U.S. ships and marines to take Hong Kong and turn it over to the Chinese, were aborted. Other plans to prevent the French from retaking Indochina were cancelled, and American troops in the area were told to stand aside. The imperial flags went back up, as Churchill had been demanding, all over the world.
Later that same month, in San Francisco, the American delegation to the United Nations conference voted against proposals that were aimed at placing the British and French colonial possessions under international supervision and with a definite timetable for independence. America, said delegation leader Harold Stassen, had but one true ally, the British, and we must always stand by her side. The United Nations, taken over by a pack of British agents, including Julian Huxley, soon became a tool for British imperial interests.
In August, President Truman, manipulated by the British agent Henry Simpson, dropped atomic bombs that Roosevelt never planned to use on a nation already prepared to surrender, claiming to ``save'' American lives in an invasion of Japan--which FDR and his top military commanders knew was unnecessary.
---------
Roosevelt had failed to develop a leadership cadre to carry on without him. This was, in part, because of his own leadership style, which tended to centralize important decision-making in himself and which often manipulated even his closest aides against each other. Ultimately, he found that aides, like Hurley, were unable to generate ideas or policy. He groomed no political successor, and within the patriotic faction which had, sometimes reluctantly, been forced to follow his leadership, there was no one who could hold a candle to FDR.
But, Roosevelt was also unable, because of his own limited comprehension of the history of the ideas that informed his thinking, to explain them in their most profound sense to others. He was a patriot, with great instincts, and human compassion, but he had an imperfect understanding of the history of the conflict that he found himself in the middle of: The battle between the American republican tradition and British oligarchism. Those closest to him, often themselves infected with the disease of anglophilia, failed to understand this fight; and without him present, they were easy pickings for skilled British operatives.
Uk Is Falling Apart
Not long before that, British Cabinet Secretary Gus O'Donnell stated that in the next few years Britain could encounter enormous problems, for example, whether or not the kingdom will remain united. The opinion that the United Kingdom could fall apart over the next few years and cease to exist as a single state has been circulating very widely… There are many reasons which could together cause the fall of British statehood, and these reasons are quite varied.
Separatist tendencies in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, the Isle of Man, and the County of Cornwall, which has been demanding autonomy, are growing stronger.
Alarming demographic tendencies have taken shape. According to statistics, at the beginning of 2013 less than half of London residents were of English background. The British capital, once one of the few monolingual cities of Europe, as a result of immigration has become the most multilingual city on the planet, speaking over 300 languages.
--------------
London has long since become a center of international terrorism. According to the U.S. State Department, out of 30 officially recognized terrorist organizations, 10 have official headquarters in London, and another 15 “conduct major operations and fundraising in the British capital”. One sheikh of the Muslim Brotherhood, which long ago established a base in London, has stated that over 500 million dollars are spent each year on maintaining the British branches of the organization alone.
There are even more economic problems.
Great Britain has the second largest external debt in the world (over 9.8 trillion), which is over 435% of the country's GDP. There is a huge 42 billion dollar hole in the state budget. For that reason, in the second half of 2013 the number of those serving in the British army will be reduced by over 5,000, and by 2015 the number of British military personnel is to be reduced by another 20%. In the opinion of John Muxworthy, the head of the UK National Defence Association, if this tendency continues the British army will have ceased to exist by 2020.
The country is rapidly losing its status as a financial center.
-------------
As of early March 2013 about 1200 patients had died of hunger in hospitals of the British National Health System over the course of 4 years. The official reason was that the nurses are too busy to feed the patients. According to the Daily Mail, in 2011 alone 43 patients died of starvation, another 291 died in a state of severe malnutrition, and the number of patients discharged from hospitals in a state of malnutrition doubled to 5558. In addition, the hospitals of the National Health System have been accused of falsifying the figures to lower the number of patients who died from poor care. The situation is similar in homes for the elderly.
The British are more and more obviously taking to drink. Prime Minister David Cameron has likened the rise in alcoholism among the populace to a national disaster. All over the country, a network of drunk tanks are popping up like mushrooms.

I'm still seeing lots of references to 'England'. Showing that you have something of a bee in your bonnet about this and also displaying, again, staggering ignorance and rudeness. We here in the UK are British. Want me to spell it out for you just in case? And now yet more drivel. Plus you seem to hate Churchill. Can I point out that a) he was half-American and that b) if it hadn't been for Churchill Hitler would have won in 1940. Unless, of course, you seem to think that that would have been a good idea.
Oh and - where's the evidence for your claim that FDR was going to break up the UK? I'm starting to suspect that it doesn't exist...
And I'm still not English

And this is a major lesson in why FDR would have been targeted for death, as well as JFK.

Oh, and remember, LBJ couldn't have even gone to a meeting. He was only a 1st degree mason. (entered apprentice)
Essentially, he went to one meeting, (his initiation) and never went back.

Yes, in his FOURTH term in office.
Just because you write words, doesn't mean they make sense.

While the majority of the American and British political elites at the time were only too well aware of a bitter dispute between the two leaders, a different history has been supplanted since: a mass of lies and half-truths about a so-called “special relationship” between Britain and the United States, based on common ideals, supposedly supported by both Churchill and Roosevelt, and intended to last into the next millennium. This rewriting of history began almost immediately with FDR’s unnatural death in April 1945, and has continued to this day.
-----------
At that time already emerging as a spokesman for the British supremacists and imperialists was one Winston Churchill, a conservative politician, the archetypical “Colonel Blimp”. Churchill, who had an American mother, nevertheless hated everything American and especially the American people.
Churchill had planted scores of agents in the American government who liaised with him through the British ambassador, Lord Halifax, who on more than one occasion openly called Roosevelt a “liar” and “no friend of the British”.
------------
On April 12, 1945 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States, patriot, and enemy of the British Empire, died of poisoning at the hands of the British whilst the official cause of death was craftily put down to “a cerebral hemorrhage”. Almost immediately, British agents moved to obliterate Roosevelt’s anti-British anti-Imperialist policies and his postwar plans whilst shamelessly and cynically laying down the foundations for the myth of a “special relationship”.

If you had bothered to look at my name on this site, you might have had a clue. Sadly you didn't so I am going to have to educate you. I suspect that you get this a lot. Right - Cymraeg. It means Welsh. As in I am Welsh. Got it? Need me to repeat myself? No? Good. Just because I am Welsh and living in England that doesn't make me English. Let me know if I need to repeat that bit. In case you disagree for some reason I refer you to the Duke of Wellington's famous rebuff to someone who called him Irish: "If a dog is born in a stable that doesn't make him a horse." I'm going with Nosey on this one, because he was a very great man indeed.
As for facts about the USA, then guess again Sparkey. My wife's American and I have a BA in history. This means that I can do stuff called 'research' which enables me to laugh hysterically at your sources.
And finally - still not seeing any evidence of FDR's great plan to break up the UK. Your continued failure to address this points to one inescapable conclusion: you made it up. Got you.

I just do the history, which you don't have a clue about.
History supports lots of corrupt Masons altering the record on the Warren Commission. Mason Hoover withholding evidence and not investigating essential things.
Mason Hoover getting pay offs from Mason Clint Murchison. LHO connected with Mason Guy Banister in New Orleans.
Not to mention the CIA emulators in Europe as PERMINDEX was founded upon Mason George Mandel, which then tried to kill de Gaulle with Banister sending them money, then Ferenc Nagy shows up in Banisters office in later years.
And the lists of Masons involved in Civil Rights is huge-----even connects with HL Hunt running a Mason for President.
And the list goes on and on.
And You the London, England supporter sees nothing-----thus you become the Embodiment of Ignorance for England and Masons. imho
