The Fascist Plot to Overthrow FDR (FULL)
In 1933, Retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler was approached by wealthy industrialists and bankers who were plotting to create a fascist veterans’ organization called the “American Liberty League” and use it in a coup d’état to overthrow United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Butler as leader of that organization. In 1934 Butler testified to the McCormack–Dickstein Congressional committee on these claims. In the opinion of the committee, these allegations were credible. One of the purported plotters, Gerald MacGuire, vehemently denied any such plot. In their report, the Congressional committee stated that it was able to confirm Butler’s statements other than the proposal from MacGuire which it considered more or less confirmed by MacGuire’s European reports. No one was prosecuted. Marine Corps Maj.-Gen. Smedley Butler was approached by a wealthy and secretive group of industrialists and bankers, including Prescott Bush the current President’s grandfather, who asked him to command a 500000 strong rogue army of veterans that would help stage a coup to topple then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In 1936, William Dodd, the US Ambassador to Germany, wrote a letter to President Roosevelt in which he stated, “A clique of US industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy.

Butler spoke against what is now known as the military industrial complex. “It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many.” This is what we deal with today. There are so many people who profit off of war as our sons and daughters die. He never participated in the coup to overthrow the government. It was wealthy business owners that wanted him to overthrow the government.
nope my friend the lord jesus warned us that satan would make a counterfit to our faith. It isnt the faith the lord jesus preached to us it is the counterfit of satan made to decieve and destroy. The prophecy even warned us that this counterfit church of satan would be located in rome would be a political church would decorate herself in gold and purple and would be led by a blasphemoues man which would think he is the equal of christ on earth which is clearley the popes and vatican
So Jesus basically said the faith you believe in will eventually become evil? Hmmmm… this didn’t raise red flags?
a little bit of everything.
whats in power now? socialism? communism? not America.
The pope is the anti christ whom the lord JESUS warned us about. Paul clearley told us that satan would hi jack the christian church and install in it a blasphemoues leader who would claim to be christ’s equal and who would rule over the leaders of the world from rome with a harlot church which will kill Gods saints. Thats the dark ages. the prophecy continues that this same beast will rule the world again at the end of time right now the popes and jesuits control the illuminati the elite
“hey, were you conspiring to overthrow our government?”
“nope.”
“oh, ok then.”
let me rephrase. if they ever make a movie about gen butler, it must be played by daniel craig.
smedley butler has to be related to daniel craig.
This is fascinating and scary at the same time.
“Committee for a Sound Dollar”…. sounds an awful lot like the “Club for Growth”.
Fucking Tool, Believing in freedom and the constitution, small limited or no government act all makes me a Nazi ?, You fucking slave wake up . Instead of staying out of the mass slaughter we throw ourselves into it for nothing, All we have is war and enslavement by the “elite”, same fucks that controlled Stalin and Hitler control us now. Our Government is looking like Nazi Germany/USSR more and more
Better, now I begin to see a bit of your logic.. not that I agree or disagree, but I do understand
Please learn to use the spell check on your computer – and also learn a bit about the use of clear language – difficult to understand your blabbering.
You lost WWII your kind are gone from Italy, Chile, Germany etc – you do have a semi strong hold in China and a few other hell holes – but we are not afraid of your crap – shove it Nazi!
Its seems that the asshole is looking at you in the mirror, quick go look now he’s very close to you!
FDR was an asshole, but so were the people who wanted to replace him. Democrats = Republicans = pile of crap.
Why would the corporations/persons that Butler opposed and exposed use him to over throw the government? This has patsy written all over it.
Prescott Bush did anything that was good for business, deals with nazis doesn’t make him a nazi, his brand of evil is worst.
Fucking BS Now we are fucked and it is the end, 16 trillion dollar debt because of FDR. Of course the bad guys are the ones that tried to stop the destruction of America. This is a joke that tells half the story. What do we have now?
How old are you?
“Social insecurity”?
Would you rather NOT having a squat while slaving for the RW industrialists for 99 cents an hour as they do in China for Mitt Romney?
yeah, prescott bush supported nazism….
