The White House Coup of 1933
4 months ago

Here is an excerpt from the BBC radio broadcast. "The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.
Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy."  Here is a Wiki link
as well.

I found it interesting, and thought some of you might as well.  See any parallels?
