This early coup plot should come as no surprise to those who see through other similar seizures of power by interested groups of American fascists who took advantage of the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the October Surprise, the 2000 election and most recently and dangerously that holiest of holies that is 9/11. In my personal opinion the 'terrorist' attacks were not even the biggest crime of that particular day but rather the piggybacking of a coup d'etat utilizing the Continuity Of Government infrastructure and Edward Luttwak's famous blueprint that was used to launch America on our current downward trajectory and date with historical infamy but that is a topic for another time. The coup against FDR is mentioned in the excellent movie The Corporation and covered in great detail in the recently back in print book The Plot To Seize The White House by Jules Archer that is available at Amazon as well as an online text at this website.
General Butler was a great American in a troubled time although it was a time in which the dangers of a homegrown brand of fascism were all too evident. We owe our current plight to both the failure to listen to our elders warnings but also in that we as a society became too engrossed in amassing trinkets and baubles, entertaining and feeding ourselves and detaching politically thereby creating an opening for the criminal elements that Butler referred to. We must go back to our past in order to learn how to fight the future. I will end this with the wise words of Smedley D. Butler himself:
To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.
We must take the profit out of war.
We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.
We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.
TO HELL WITH WAR!
