Plot To Overthrow FDR Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 сен 2024
- President Franklin Roosevelt made an enemy of the richest Americans with remarkable haste. By his first term, his heavily progressive New Deal taxes and the suspension of the gold standard inspired vocal opponents within the highest echelons of industry. Among them was an irate William Randolph Hearst, who filmed a message decrying the “impudent” and “despotic” new tax code. Yet of all of Roosevelt’s powerful enemies, perhaps none were more formidable, or incensed, than those who considered throwing him out of office by way of a fascist military coup.
The fact is. Is that corporations DID take over the US government.
That's the definition of fascism.
@John Carosi: Wrong. Fascism is Far-Right and Communism is Far-Left.
Brad Watson - The confusion comes from they are both of an authoritarian leadership. It doesn’t help that the major example of communism is USSR which history describes as not being beneficial to the people. But now knowing how much anti-communism propaganda there has been in the US, who knows how true this was.
Democracy, true democracy of, by, and for the people is THE only answer. The rulers will never stop squeezing everything from the people and planet until they have enough. However, that is a bottomless pit that will never be filled.
@@BenignComrade: I AM not confused. The current government of Donald Trump 666 is fascist. He's the reincarnation of Benito Mussolini (d 4.28.19).
@Hayden R. Same sh*t, different day.
My parents lived under Nazi occupation, then under Communist / Socialist (Stalinist) occupation.
We're Jewish.
Honestly, the Nazis would settle for killing you.
The Communists want to drain every hope & drop from your soul.
A single Mom, after work, would have to listen to long winded 4 hour Communist speeches, while your children wait @ home for you to return & make supper.
F*ck Commies.
I'M IMPRESSED THIS MANY AMERICANS ACTUALLY KNOW THIS.....PROUD OF WHOEVER POSTED THIS....THANKYOU
Smedly Butler is the biggest American hero no one knows about
why is no one taught this in school? the parallels of today are shocking.
Lmao.
More important to teach kids that America is bad and that they should all aspire to be socialists and trans gender....
@@hunterjones9822 yes that's exactly what ppl ate taught and still Nazis roam. It's hard to understand
the mega wealthy dynasties are still causing trouble. they've been playing the economy to steal the country's wealth and the recent GOP coup kicked it into overdrive. they own the Electoral College and the sad fact is that as long as they do, we will have a dem president only at the pleasure of the republican party.
dynastic wealth is a cancer in a free society.
They filter out text books for history and science in particular and expect us to look it up.
Great show. They omitted 1 fact that is interesting. Butler was the most decorated marine in our country's history when he died.
This popped up in a timely fashion. I'm happy that it seemed like actual history from back in the day of The History Channel.
I hope this history not repeating itself.
“Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.”
― Benito Mussolini
I heard about this 20 years ago. People don't believe it BECAUSE THEY live in a dream world.
Same here, but the sad part is the conservatives have paid so much money to bury it. Also, sad to say most Americans have short attention spans never study history.
If anyone disagrees with YOU, they are living in a dream world.
Loving the comments for this video. It gives me hope that more and more of us are becoming awake in this country.
You can be as awake to it as you like but you are as powerless as people have always been.
@@johnhardman3 Sure, because there's no better plan than to throw up your hands and yelp "I give up". Courageous, dood.
I’m commenting from 2022, and clearly, a lot of Americans are still sleepwalking through the fascist takeover of the Republican Party.
The January 6 Insurrection and attempted coup was a more violent, but no less affluent 21st century version of the far-too-benignly-named “Business Plot.”
I highly recommend reading “War is a Racket” by Smedley Butler

I have read it about 30 years ago.

Look up War Plan Red. It’s another attempt by fascists and their supporters within the US government to start a war with Great Britain and conquer Canada in order to break the partnership between Great Britain and the USA and to engender ties to the other fascist powers in Europe, especially Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany.

"They are united in their dislike of me ~ and, I Welcome Their Hatred" ~ 1936 - FDR @ The Democratic National Convention.
Hmmmm This statement reminds me of someone...
the opposite of 'America needs you, GOP' Biden.
Taking the US off the gold standard was a good idea if you use it for the right reasons (paying off our debt) but it could be very destructive if you use it as a blank check (like Reagan started to do in the 1980's).
Our country has been taken over by the corporation fascist and all they had to do was wait for a stooge like Reagan (really Bush Sr) to start the process. All our laws against monopolies have been destroyed since then and now we have no Democracy but a fascist oligarchy.
I would encourage everyone who reads this to read General Butler’s book, “War is a Racket”.
Why hasn't Hollywood made this into a movie? Ed Norton would nail General Butler role.
+Bruce Huff Agreed. Ed Norton would have to be cosmetically aged to make sure that he fits the role. "Thumbs Up."
While Edward Norton (I understand he uses that name now more than Ed since he didn't want his name to get confused with the Art Carney character on the old "Honeymooners" program of Jackie Gleason) is a great actor I think he's a bit to young to portray such a character as Butler since he was rather older when this took place though of course he could be made up to look older, and of course his voice was a gravelly one. I suspect this should be a job for a great character actor who would be willing to challenge his voice to capture the essence of Butler. And he would have to be a small actor since Butler was indeed a very small man albeit one as tough as nails considering he won two Congressional Medals of Honor one at the Boxer Rebellion and the other from his duty in Central America. A character actor from the past, but way to old now to play him if he is even still living anymore would have been Harry Dean Stanton since he looked a great deal like Butler. You may or may not remember him, but he was a great character actor was in a lot of movies. He played the FBI agent who was in charge of Pantangeli in the "Godfather" Part II and was in a bunch of Paul Newman movies including "Cool Hand Luke".
A younger ed harris from the rock
Absolutely they should make a movie about it.
Because the idea that Hollywood is liberal is a myth. They're just as corporatist as Wall Street, so they certainly aren't going to make a movie about the biggest corporate royal families in the country plotting to institute fascism. Those families are their friends...or, in some cases, their families!
A bio of the great Smedley Butler - "War is a Racket." What a hero!
Kinky. Should be required reading in school, unlike the standard pap curriculum served up now
Not a bio. Butler wrote it. It's a memoir. You should read it.
I can't possibly go thru all the comments to see if my point has already been addressed but I am amazed President Hoover didn't have Gen MacArthur court-martialed for disobeying his orders at 3:50. It would take President Truman years later to put him in his place.
we need more youtube channels like this
Prescott Bush has been omitted from the plot in this version.

Nathan Batten. That was not confirmed until the BBC got some Declassified documents in approximately 2005. I believe this video is the original History Channel documentary which was first on cable TV in the mid late 1990s.
Nathan Batten Prescott Bush was very involved in the the deal between Japan and the United States for all the metal that was taken down when the Second Avenue SUBWAY was demolished in New York City back in the thirties. The Japanese used that metal to build their Fleet which bombed Pearl Harbor.
Some of the conspirators included Prescott Bush, the DuPont Family, William Randolph Hearst, Howard Heinz, E.F. Hutton, Andrew W. Mellon, J.P. Morgan, J. Howard Pew, Rockefeller Associates, U.S. Steel, General Motors, Goodyear Tires, Chase National Bank, and Felix Warburg.

The plotters attempted to get retired Marine General Smedely Butler, two time Medal Of Honor winner to join them & be the dictator, he refused, J. P. Morgen was one of the leaders of the plot.
When a fellow New York patrician accosted FDR with trying to destroy their class (the upper-upper class) through his programs, he replied that he was instituting the New Deal to preserve their class.
If the poor works, the rich gets richer. The managers feed from the workers.. Duhh!!
Please do not diminish what FDR did for the American people. The man saved our country from the dual crises of the Great Depression and fascism, both home and abroad. First Lady Eleanor did a helluva lot, too.
And yes, in our economic system, there are classes. So if our economy failed, so too, would that system. Or so the thinking goes, since none of us can actually predict the future, calls for “Eat the rich!” notwithstanding. FDR wasn’t a socialist or a communist - that’s just the same rightwing smear that Republicans use to this day to insult all Democrats.
My heart does break for General Butler for not getting the accolades and respect he deserved from EVERY American. That’s why I’m a supporter of Task Force Butler, a group of veterans training other veterans to root out fascist, white supremacist domestic terrorists online.

Major General Butler was, above all other things, an AMERICAN MARINE! Semper Fidelis
People wonder why the history channel randomly stopped being educational.
Smedlley was a great American patriot.
There's a alternate history drama series on HBO called - The Plot Against America - where Charles Lindbergh wins the presidential election against FDR, just when Europe is heading for war. In reality Lindbergh was positive to some of Hitler's ideology and was a strong agitator against American interference in the war. FDR was even convinced he was a Nazi, so the story is not that far fetched, as there also was political currents towards fascism in the US, with industrial leaders such as Henry Ford directly supporting Hitler's path to power. The country also had the largest Nazi organization outside Germany during the 1930's. There still are many people in the US who believes in the Nazi ideology or in some form of fascism.
Pescott Bush was the ring leader.
All crooks, both "sides". Just like our "civil war".

Butler was a true American 🇺🇸
FDR was the most popular president we’ve ever had. Four terms and won WWII.
"These veterans were people after all that had sacrificed for the country, and therefore were good loyal peasants."
Major General Smedley D. Butler USMC, American hero. If I were FDR, I'd have made Butler a full General of the United States Marine Corps and granted him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He probably wouldn't have accepted such honors for doing his active duty as a serviceman. Douglas MacArthur on the other hand...
I learned of this u-tube from a fb friend. I appreciate learning more on this issue. I have shared on fb.
Have you read, or listened to, "War is a Racket" by Major General Smedley Butler?
Jesse Ventura wrote about this plot, in detail, in his book American Conspiracies.
And we’re going through this again because no one was held accountable for this attempted coup. Military tribunals for all traitors.
Thank You for Posting this...
So this what was done to John Kennedy
Not mentioned was that FDR died of natural causes (he was poisoned).
Bingo!
@@eddiefaccioni2453 his healthy started to decline in 1921 with Paralytic illness, Prescott Bush has nothing to do with his illness
And now Dorito Mussolini is in the White house...
_If_ the plot was real, the plotters were idiots for choosing Butler -- he might have been a favorite of veterans, but he was an FDR supporter, and famously hated Mussolini's guts. Going to him pretty much guaranteed the exposure of the plot.....which was likely the entire point.
Going off the gold standard may turn out to be a nail in our coffin. With the federal reserve printing money and giving it to its banks has caused out of control inflation and devaluation of our currency.
Makes you wonder why JP Morgan Chase is still a thing.
Like other posters, I am also surprised this hasn't been made into a movie. It requires the attention of more Americans.
The current political landscape is similar to that present during FDR's first year. In our case, the Koch brothers represent the invasive corporate presence in politics. As several interviewees point out--fascism is the corporate control of the state affairs. Quite literally, Mussolini, the dictator of Italy, defined fascism as corporatism. And that is, unfortunately, the way our country is headed with legislation like Citizens United. The most patriotic action an American can take is to vote against any legislation that gives more control to our democracy or military to a corporation.
obama and hillary are owned by corporations
Both of our parties are controlled by the oligarchy. Kochs' father was associated with the movements this video shows. He built refineries for Hitler. Trump may not be in politics until now, but if anyone is "owned", it's him. He's been funded by others by the end of the 80s. That's why he's so chummy with Putin.
The American plutocracy will never allow a movie to be made that exposes them.
Pitt Burgh, he funded his own campaign in the primaries because while the republican establishment liked his policies, they wanted someone who was more polished, so trump had no choice but to fund his own campaign. After the primaries ended and trump became the nominee, the corporations and mega donors got behind him because he was the only choice. Trump is a tool for the corporate interests, don’t let the mainstream media’s opposition to him fool you.
Americans with an attention span? Are you crazy?
Here’s a little history they don’t teach you in school. This sure does sound familiar what’s happening today.
Speaking as a former History/Social Studies/English teacher in the Orange County CA school system (laughingly called Public Education), and currently working as a minimum wage security guard , I can state with complete honesty that the public schools don't teach any of the formerly mentioned subjects any more. When I was told that I had to go back to school to learn Spanish here in Mexifornia , in order to teach English, I walked off the job. While taking a 2/3'ds cut in pay I at least don't have to deal with a crooked labor union and liberal school board any more.
@norman bates you mean COMMUNIST INTERNATIONAL MOB FAMILY
The attack on the Bonus Army foreshadowed MacArthur's contempt for democracy. Patton was in the attack, too.
Some things never change.
Sad that Roosevelt pushed to not have them prosecuted and they got away with it!
I'm not sure there was much he really could do under the circumstances. Obviously, the disadvantages outweighed any advantages. We may never know why he didn't but certainly he didn't need more enemies and going after those people would have added not only those who were known to be conspirators but many more who were ready to undermine him. He could have lost power and/or his life. There had already been one assassination attempt against him from an anti-capitalist immigrant. The capitalists would probably have succeeded.
The more thing change , the more they stay the same
Citizens stay awake, stay vigilant
Protect our Constitutional rights and beware of those who cloak themselves with it to hide there true objectives, they are the ones we should fear!!!
Yeah the demonrats
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." May God have mercy on us.
Trump is having trouble with communist in front of his building in NYC. Where the he'll is the damn Army!
History might not repeat itself, but patterns appear.
Paul Makinson : After FDR died, the Republican-led Congress changed the law to prohibit the president from serving more than two terms. Yet, President Barack Obama was sworn-in 4x! In his 1st Inauguration in 2009, Chief Justice John Roberts botched the oath and it was repeated in the Oval Office the next day. Obama's 2nd Inaugural in 2013 fell on a Sunday, so he received the oath that day in the Oval Office and then the ceremony was performed the next day on the steps of Capitol Hill.
This was either 'just a coincidence' or it was a sign from GOD that FDR (died 1945) was reincarnated as Barack Obama (born 1961 - 16 years later).
You are not intending to do things peacefully when you send the military to do the job.
There's a few inaccuracies in this, as an example; General MacArthur was ordered by President Hoover to disperse the Bonus Army. He was not in charge of the actual operation but felt compelled to be there in person because he, and many other officers, did not agree with it. Only one man actually died there, this due to a fire. MacArthur had originally sent equipment and supplies to the Bonus Army's encampment.
There are always omissions of facts if the facts don’t support the authors vision (agenda). American’s have become so week minded that they allow twitter to became the most powerful influence in the formation of social beliefs. Twitter and other social media has been elevated to a god like status. Legitimate news agencies descend into rating wars, catering to the audience’s preference over the facts. It is all “tell me what I want to hear or I’ll look elsewhere for confirmation of my own personal reality”. People follow like sheep, entertainment personalities become moral guides to the masses. A guy that can run up and down a court and throw a ball really well, or a woman who plays really compelling roles in movies, or the guy in high school that was always trying to be funny and is now a major comedian, that’s who we turn to for moral and political advice? Anyone who makes a loud noise and sounds like what you believe is who you follow. Joining with other likeminded people all reinforcing each other’s beliefs. Even here on this media, if you express an interest in a particular video, you are pointed to similar videos. If you watch a video expressing a particular belief, you are confronted with more and more videos, each reinforcing that belief. In no time that belief is rooted deeply into the facts that you mind uses to form opinions. People now sit in a bubble of their own making and all forms of media spoon feed us exactly what we want to hear. There is seldom full factual representation of anything. Facts are omitted, opinion is substituted and masquerade as facts. There is no unbiased news. It is all editorialized. All telling us what to think and presenting a case for why we need to believe it. Remember when the news were facts and the channel would notify you the following was an editorial.
Definition of an editorial - to set forth one's position or opinion on some subject in, or as if in, an editorial. to inject personal interpretations or opinions into an otherwise factual account.
That is the state of our news outlets today. Not to present facts so we can form our own opinion but to give us an opinion. We search out others that express the same opinion. Watch / follow whoever we find that is the most entertaining or somehow complements and we feel included with.
What we need, as a society, is cold hard facts, all of the facts.
Example “A vehicle lost control and plunged into a ravine killing a family of four. The exact cause of the crash remains unknown.”
CNN - DRUNKEN FATHER KILLS FAMILY OF FOUR!
CNN has discovered that the father, who was probably driving at the time of the horrific, fiery crash, was stopped thirteen years ago when an unidentified police officer suspected he was driving while over the legal limit. Now the drunkard father killed his entire family while driving dunk.
FOX - Ford Bronco on Firestone tires calms four more victims.
We here at Fox News have learned that a Bronco with Firestone tires was involved in another fatal crash. This time taking the life of a prominent businessman and his entire family of four. Ford and Firestone declined to comment.
Washington Post - Distraught man kills entire family.
Sources tell us the Joe Regular was in deep financial trouble. He was undoubtedly depressed and decided to end his life and take his entire family with him rather than face the public humiliation of financial ruin.

Yeah the plot starts with Prescott Bush and Union Bank
It is hard to understand why the hell didn't FDR arrest, try, and hang Prescott Bush, and other wealthy conspirators for treason against the USA. Even this video belies the actual crime as a crime against FDR himself, and not the USA, and its Constitution. The financiers of Nazi Germany were attempting to destroy our Democratic Republic in favor of a dictatorship. This is top level treason, and the conspirators went Scot-free. Why? Some historians state that FDR was scared that the country already suffering from the depression, and improving would reverse back to full-blown economic down turn if he was to go after these captains of industries. I have a different take on it. I think that his families wealth was tied up in these corporations through investments in stock, and the like. His mother had denied him any control of this wealth, and he did not want to put his whole family in the poor-house as a result of serving justice against these traitors of the USA in addition to what the Historians opine as his motivation not pursue justice for treasonous acts.
Henry ford fully funded the NAZI Party right after Hitler got out of prison. JP Morgan fully funded the Italian Fascists.
EXACTLY! Ford was a notorious anti-Semite who paid to have The Protocols of Zion reprinted and distributed. In fact, Hitler had a framed picture of Ford in his office. To this day I refuse to buy a Ford vehicle.
McGuire, the principal witness, dies of "natural causes" at age 36 - sure he did.
@@dentonfender8872 You should ask yourself the big question here. The power of corporations being greater than that of government because they are the ones who are in complete control of the economy was the reason why it was swept under the rug. So, wasn't that what FDR took into consideration acknowledging he wouldn't be able to bring a case against the top industry magnates?
Wow! You wouldn't guessed this happened in America. They should of been charged with treason
Why would banks want to keep the gold standard, makes no sense! The gold standard is a good thing for us and a bad thing for bankers.
Because Banksters can manipulate the price of Gold by artificially creating recessions, and depressions as they did in 1929. In fact if you look at the American economy over the long term all through the 19th century, you will find that the USA had large economic down turns every 15 to 20 years. These economic crashes create opportunities to those who have large caches of Gold to buy land, businesses, industries, technology, and the like at very low prices. Once they, the wealthy have acquired what they need at an extreme discount, they begin investing into the economy again, and make a killing on their acquisitions, and investments. Because paper money can become inflated, the rich prefer Gold because it retains its value during a depression. This is why the rich should be heavily taxed. It is one of the best ways to prevent them from manipulating our economy. Their bottom line doesn't care about anything, or anybody. The actual people who work, and produce the wealth for the owners are vulnerable to economic devastation at the whim of the rich, and the wealthy don't give a damn. The best law that we the people could get passed in Congress would be to enact a separation of corporation and state law. They would not be able to manipulate our government, or our economy as a means to make a financial killing. This law at the same time would encourage competition, and investment back into their own U.S. corporations. Out sourcing would be heavily regulated. Monopolies would be forbidden, and or heavily regulated. The period of time between WWII, and when the Banks, and Wall Street were deregulated in 90's, around 50 years, was the longest period of time the USA has ever gone without a major depression. FDR's administration was heavily responsible for this long prosperity in the USA. As you must know deregulation of Banksters, and Wall Street created the 2008 depression, and this trend will continue every 15 to 20 years just as it did back in the 19th century, and early 20th century. Because most of us are uninformed, we will continue to be their cattle, and except anything they say about politics, and the economy. We are again at their whim.
Conservatives have long deplored a monetary system unbacked by gold. Self described far right wingers such as the John Birch Society, for years, tried to reenact the gold standard. It's a big thing even today among fringe groups. Why ?
Well, the following passage from a book on the Business Plot explains why conservative bankers wanted a return to the gold standard at that time:
_With the end of the gold standard, "conservative financiers were horrified. They viewed a currency not solidly backed by gold as inflationary, undermining both private and business fortunes and leading to national bankruptcy. Roosevelt was damned as a socialist or Communist out to destroy private enterprise by sapping the gold backing of wealth in order to subsidize the poor."_

23:35 "protect the U S. against the policies of F.D.R.," that would have been a good thing, given his policies are against the Constitution.
There is no mention of industrial corporations in the constitution!!! Most people were farmers back then!!! This is why we have amendments
And that's why there was a Boston Tea Party. It was actually in protest against the creation of giant corporations at the time, eg. The East India Company. @@wokeeye6441
In 1932 Veterans were losing their homes and farms and all their possessions.. THEY WERE DESPERATE.for help.
And the rich are trying it again right now.
Fascinating!
Smedley butler, controversial soldier? Wtf?
There was nothing controversial about Smedley Butler, unless being called a "good solider" is controversial.
This is another great historical reference to the way that patriots are treated, used like rag dolls, then tossed in the dustbin of history to be mired upon by snooty academics with no dog in the hunt.
i believe General Smedley Butler!
Yep; totally believe it in light of recent events. The owl of Minerva takes flight at dusk
These tactics used in 1933 is used in 2019 scary
It's opposite side doing it now
What a great man,a true son of America.
If this did happen and if butler was calling the shots we wouldn't have ended up in ww2.
14:20 the speaker calls the veterans "good peasants". I think he was talking about how the rich viewed them, but still... that attitude is so arrogant I want to beat it out of a person. Smedley Butler for Rushmore !
And the vast Right Wing Conspiracy continues.
Even though this documentary and it's sources clearly show the vast majority of elected and administrative participants in the conspiracy were Democrats.
The weakening economy was due to FDR listening to his advisors to dial back the government programs. He listened to them in an effort to win back some of the rich families, and the recovery stalled and nearly halted, so he was forced to implement the policies advocated by Keynes.
Butler was a true patriot and an American hero.
And Keynes saved the rich yet is accused of all sorts of horrible things by them. At the same time Adam Smith is deified using misconstructions of his "Wealth of Nations" and utter ignoring of his "Theory of Moral Sentiments".
this show is propaganda.wall street wanted us off cold standard
Yeah, the hot standard was much better
July 2020 in America,... here we are ...
And here we go...again! Donald J. Drumpf - who has a copy of Mein Kampf on his nightstand for easy access to read prior to going to sleep and dreaming about how he would rule the World - will foment another overthrow of Democracy come November 9, 2016!
You really do need to stop talking to yourself in such a manner. You appear to be unhinged. Are you stalking me?
We must hope not. However, this recent escapade shows how easily millions of people can be fooled. As the book published just before WWII said: "It Can Happen Here". Under His Eye, Handmaid.
At least Frankie is now in a warmer climate. Along with his good friend Joseph!
The economy is not a force of nature . It is created by humans and can be made to serve everyone . In hard times the economy must be a sharing economy . FDR did this by taxing the wealthy at very high rates . And it worked . Many say ww2 manufacturing took us out of the depression . Fact is by 1937 we were out of the depression . Unfortunately FDR was advised to take the fetters off the robber barons . In 6 months the country was back in the depression .
37:10 why weren’t the big shots called?
......
For the same reason that the government officials neglected to test the Pentagon and the WTC buildings for evidence of explosives. The 911 Commission also "neglected" the testimony of eye-witnesses that presented evidence of explosives.
Crooks aren't going to present evidence that will get them caught.
spoiler alert: corporations ended up taking over 😅😮😢
SEE : 7 DAYS IN MAY..... closest movie resembeling precisely this. Lingering armies are dangerous. If anything taught us this is the recent Bathe party army disbanding in Iraq.
