This meshes with what I understand to be true:

https://timeline.com/business-plot-overthrow-fdr-9a59a012c32a

tldr: A whole bunch of Wall Street tycoons got real mad at FDR over the New Deal and plotted a coup. It fell apart when they tried to recruit Marine Corps General Smedley "The Fighting Quaker" Butler, who exposed the whole thing. Prescott Bush, father of Bush Sr., was implicated but no one was charged and few actually testified.

There's a lot of dispute about exactly how real the coup actually was and how much was Butler baiting a bunch of pissed off plutocrats into treason.

Historical consensus is that it was probably about as real as one of those terrorist plots the FBI cooks up from time to time where they find some idiot who would be a terrorist but lacks the means, in that the "ringleaders" would absolutely have been down with a coup, but lacked even the basic ability to conceive a plan, let alone execute a successful coup.

But, at a minimum, it places the patriarch of one of the most successful political families in modern America in the same social circles as a whole bunch of vaguely fascist plutocrats planning a coup.

In 1935, Butler wrote a book titled War Is a Racket, where he described and criticized the workings of the United States in its foreign actions and wars, such as those he was a part of, including the American corporations and other imperialist motivations behind them.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.


quote:

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

William Happer, the director of the doe office of science under HW and national security advisor to Trump, compared the 'demonization' of co2 to the Nazi demonization of Jews.

“The comment I made was just that the demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor Jews under Hitler. Carbon dioxide is actually a benefit to the world, and so were the Jews.”
