The Whitehouse Coup (1933) 1 of 3

[chieftech714]

wow this all sounds very similar to obama's presidency and how the right behaved towards him. FDR faced a similar challenge and was charged with the same kind of rhetoric from the same people. They have found a formulae to get poor people to act in the interests of the wealthy..

[atheistbiker]

If the right loses big next year (as they are on track to) we may see another attempt made at seizing power from our elected government (although it could be stolen, or some widespread scandel could make Dems unelectable)

[whedonfreak976]

And sadly the tradition of hate fear continues today with the tea party, which is akin to the fascist. So sad

[kdj997]

since JFK was assassinated they've had control of the government. Wow

[CI9TK]

Interesting Billboard paid for the the Chamber of Commerce (They are an organization that works on behalf of corporations. The organization that makes sure that, for instance, YOU pay taxes but they get states to compete with tax breaks, relaxed environmental laws, etc - you didn't think it was INTELLIGENCE that made them money, did you? No, it's how the scale is tilted.). Anywho, I noticed @3:28 they pay for a billboard to say SCREW YOU hard worker looking for a working wage to buy food...

[SwaggerLikeUz]

The 4th Reich is right before our Eyes aka the Shadow Government.

[ThisWeekInFascism]

The US Chamber Of Commerce engineered 9/11.

Just like the Liberty League engineered the overthrow of FDR in 1933.

[cypresspuz]

@ThisWeekInFascism Thx man. You r educating people for free.

[MaydayCharade]

@ThisWeekInFascism Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup FTW

[httm241]

@ThisWeekInFascism we need henry wallace in todays world

[ftheGOP]

The America of the 1930's? How about America in the 2000's?

[smujismuj]

The fascists have succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

They simply got themselves s'elected into the government. At the same time, they bought up the "news" media and installed legions of apologists and enablers to ignore and/or sanitize their fraud.

[ahblisschris]

It seems baby Bush had the same asperations as his Nazi grandfather , We need to prosecute the Bastards now and repeal the Patriot Act NOW.

[basilsullivan]

America voted for a family of fascists. Zieg Heil Yall!

[Railer505]

Charles Lindbergh was probably one of those people...

[CoNiLa2]

seriously???

this cant be true..



[themeaningoflife38]

Interesting this one was Nov 21 1933 & Right wing fascists killed JFK on Nov 22 1963.

Damn nazis

[farmerne]

@umhalil I think FDR did the best thing he could do under the circumstances. Can one imagine how it would have shaken-up this country to have people like DuPont, Prescott Bush, the CEO of GM, and all the other plotters hauled in front of a court and tried for high treason against the United States? The reprecussions would have been incalculable and the damage to Roosevelt's leadership immense. Check out a movie called "Seven Days in May"--about a U.S. President in the same situation.

[bicycledays]

thanks for posting

[definemaybe]

coporate selfish greed. see return of the Hippie

[themeaningoflife38]

they failed in 1933 but were sucessful in 1963 & eventually Prescott Bush got his fascist puppet Nixon in the whitehouse after JFK & RFK were gone.

[Cyclonus21]

Kinda funny since true Fascism is supposed to reject Capitalism. This shit is fucking big business fascism.

[ThisWeekInFascism]

...and today the right-wing (even the alleged "left" too) is rejecting capitalism AND they've all got a hard-on for all things military. Even the public does. It's both Mussolini (business) fascism AND (nationalistic/Hitler) war-fever fascism.

The American fascist's goal is, "to capture political power so that, using the power of the state [military] and the power of the market [business] simultaneously, they may keep the common man in eternal subjection." -Vice President Henry A. Wallace 1944

[Cyclonus21]

Couldn't agree more.

[marcostar57]

@ThisWeekInFascism How is today's right-wing, especially, "rejecting capitalism?" On the contrary, they believe that "free-market" capitalism is a cure-all. Actually it's predatory-capitalism that they live & breath for ..and which some corporatist Dems support.

[ThisWeekInFascism]

@marcostar57 They all - dems/repubs - hate the "free market". The free market means no government intrusion - letting the customer decide. Well, "the marketplace" no longer decides anything. The marketeers do. They manipulate a dumbed-down public into choosing between false choices. Americans no longer know what's in their own self interest. Our government has been taken over by "the marketeers". That's textbook Fascism.

[marcostar57]

@ThisWeekInFascism Agreed ..that's why I used the quotation marks ..because its not true capitalism but yet it's labeled thus. And I feel there is really NO SUCH thing as true free-market capitalism. It leads to a predatory-monopoly & a corporatist state -- that which we have today.

[Dean0000007]

@ThisWeekInFascism

Text book marketeers thrived under President Hoover who above all let the markets work to their own devices. The seperation between rich and poor was never so big then and the gold standard was still in place. Sounds great right? Right up until the great depression and market manipulation by the Federal Reserve by the Fascists. Not exactly socialism is it?

The people that benefit most from free market interfer with government, not the other way around.

[AsTimeDilates]

@ThisWeekInFascism ..."No government intrusion" and "Letting the customer decide" are absolute polar opposites...

A free market is one in which the government has strict rules which facilitate allowing the customer decide...if the government does not serve this function the corporations will force upon the public whatever they wish...

When republicans say free market what they mean is no regulations so that corporations can control people.

[ThisWeekInFascism]

@AsTimeDilates Right. That's what I mean. I'm using a far-right laissez-faire definition of "free market" from the 1980's. We've gone so far into fascism that laissez-faire now means socialism. In other words, if the government DOESN'T get involved with corporations and work on their behalf, it's spun as socialism. Any regulation of any kind is no longer common sense conservatism like it used to be considered.

[GuinnevereB]

@ThisWeekInFascism Well, yes. The ultra-rich fear the loss (or, God forbid! the SHARING) of their wealth more than anything. (What's he point of being rich if you can't have it ALL?) That is why they have spent the past 80-90 years selling socialism and communism as a Fate Worse than Death! And they've succeeded for the most part. Most people are so thoroughly conditioned, they shudder at the mention of either term the way Pavlov's dogs salivated at the sound of a bell.

[Freethought42]

@marcostar57

Granting priviliges, favors, and creating legislation that favors certain companies is very anti-thetical to free market capitalism.

Competition when one company has the president, or congress on their side is not very fair competition.

[badattitude77769]

@Freethought42 My grandmother was a very beautiful woman, her family was very poor, they lived in tents and her father helped build the railroads in washington state and in oregon, correct me if I am wrong, was it not the harriman brothers from gay nazi wallstreet who owned the railroads, the wealthy railroad magnets, fuck them!

[adamrosemead]

@Cyclonus21 Actually, Fascism is the logical result of capitalism.

Once raw materials become scarce, their cost will become too expensive for the middle class to afford. To quell discontent with the system, which now openly favors the "haves" over the "have nots," the corporatists will have to bring the military to control the masses.

[hylas79]

@Cyclonus21 True fascism is supposed to reject Capitalism? That is wrong. Fascism is typically quite capitalistic in nature. Fascists despised communism (not Capitalism), and they believed that there should be both weak and powerful in society (much like Capitalists in America).

[alphamone]

@Cyclonus21

honestly, many of the names of 1900s political ideologies are just used as insults from people on both sides of politics without even knowing what those ideologies involved, sometimes even using it to describe someone who is almost a polar opposite of said ideology.

[pvisserandorra]

@Cyclonus21 No, they supported the interests of business. It happened in Spain and Italy. If you get right down to it, even capitalists reject capitalism. The corporation has no place in a free market.

[not4playn]

a couix was thwarted,BULLSHIT. Resist oligarchy now. "We The People" are null and void unless we rise up.

[swansong6666]

WOW. this is so fitting to today's sentiments, tea-baggers and all, people trying to overthrow the president. a private military coup is not unrealistic today.

[Enantiodromialist]

Look up the Southern Poverty Law Center website, they have a recent report about the huge increase in militia activity, singling out Glenn Beck as the leading hatemonger.

Gun sales are up 30% since the election according to 60 minutes, also.

[MrRgilley]

@swansong6666

Wall street would destroy this Democracy in a heartbeat to preserve it's profits and greedy CEOs. If we can't control it we need to destroy it before it destroys the US.

[larry1369]

@swansong6666 Actually the Tea baggers are being used by the fascists now to prevent people from having medical care like in the rest of the industrialized world. Most of them are supporting the scum who stole their 401K, Social Security benefits etc.. They are just not aware of it yet. Screw Wall St. and the banks that seek to enslave our nation for the benefit of the plutocrats. Bring out the guillotines. War Is A Racket!!!!!!!!!

[ahoyhoy79]

unless the populace is ready to eat rats

[3star2nr]

funny how the right wing hasnt changed ideology

[wildpeachatl737]

Wow, this is definitey interesting and the storyline sounds so familiar....

[not4playn]

"To an empire built on lies... The truth is treason" Ron Paul

[redletterchurch]

We the People of Earth have before us the opportunity to forge for ourselves, and for future generations...a True World Order. A world where Namaste Constitutional Responsible Freedom...not the Old World Disorder Demonic Theocracy...governs the conduct of nations. When we are successful...and we will be...we have a real chance at this True World Order...an order in which a credible United Nations can use Namaste Constitutional Responsible Freedom to fulfill the promise and vision of All Races.

[Paganiproductions]

I heard that the bush family was involved in this crime

[justonefirefly1]

George Bush's grandfather, the late US senator Prescott Bush, was a director and shareholder of companies that profited from their involvement with the financial backers of Nazi Germany.

[justonefirefly1]

he worked for and profited from companies closely involved with the very German businesses that financed Hitler's rise to power. It has also been suggested that the money he made from these dealings helped to establish the Bush family fortune and set up its political dynasty.

[redsoxfan1984]

@Paganiproductions and they finally instituted a dictator, 67 years later.

[cadu1995]

@Paganiproductions PRESCOTT WALKER? BUSH -yes.

Scum family from the word go. He was a fucking TIRE SALESMAN until he met some broad with a rich daddy.He couldn't have his little girl marry an asshole tire salesman so they gave him a job in a bank & promoted his crooked scum ass.May he burn in hell with all his kin.

[IcedEarth426]

@cadu1995 Yeah, Prescott Bush pretty much rode on the coattails of the Harrimans and the Walkers. Wherever Bush is, you can bet Harriman was involved in some way.

[MurrayHerts]

was the great depression enginered by the banks to make fascism seem the best awnser?

[ThisWeekInFascism]

Read "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise Of Disaster Capitalism by Naomi Klein. The short answer is, most likely.

Also see ?v=TkLlrDYh9YA

[BrianTotse]

No, it was caused by risky business practices.

Obviously this conspiracy was their response to the increased regulations and laws which would hurt their businesses. Fascism is just an easy way to run shit. Get an army and say "Do what we want or we'll fucking shoot you."

I'm just starting to learn about this conspiracy, and it's pretty goddamn interesting.

[ed11561]

Actually The Great Depression WAS CAUSED by the BANKS & all the rich fucks-Morgan-Pierrpont-etc.

[justonefirefly1]

files in the US National Archives that a firm of which Prescott Bush was a director was involved with the financial architects of Nazism.

His business dealings, which continued until his company's assets were seized in 1942 under the Trading with the Enemy Act, has led more than 60 years later to a civil action for damages being brought in Germany against the Bush family by two former slave labourers at Auschwitz and to a hum of pre-election controversy.

[marktimmer2212]

all we have to do is overthrow all goverments, all banks, all miltairy, all religous institutes, all coop media, all multinationals and all "supersecret societies"

any1?

[CHRIS1974100]

FDR and his New Deal save the american from the impending collapse of the economy

[phogasm]

This is fascinating. The Right wing has not changed much since the 30's. I'm scared they are planning something like this now.

[SteevDragon67]

who will stand up and be OUR Smedley Butler?

[billywest56]

His name is Ron Paul

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

Funny how telling the truth gives you thumbs down... We know who those thumbers are working for... They like the national debt... Slavery anyone?

[trexx32]

Funny how this isnt common US history

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

And think all they had to do is take away the powers from the Fed Reserve and give Congress back the power to print and coin our own damned money without interest... The hell with Roosevelt's New Socialistic Deal.

[exenrontexas]

It was Wilson who started the Federal Reserve under strong pressure from large conservative Republican corporations.

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

I agree it was Wilson, however, Roosevelt swept the money issue under the carpet with his stinking New Deal... Instead of dealing with the real issue...

[tgambill]

FDR did sweep the money issue under the carpet. His New Deal has been carried down by design and renamed "stimulus Plan"....by Obama. Its not Obama. Obama was designed to be a yes man to Zbigniew Brzezinski, Bilderberger and Mason.

[tgambill]

Woodrow Wilson was another dupe and traitor under the DIRECTION of Col Mandel House, whom Wilson called his "alter Ego". They also designed the League of Nations forerunner to the UN that failed at the time. Mandel House is to Woodrow wilson as Brzezinski is to Obama as Thomas Jefferson was to Adam Weishaupt......and Chaney was to Bush Jr.

[deltapunk21]

Yes the business plot which was a refuted lie by a lying no good phony war fraud in the anti-Zmerican communist ho Smedly Butler. Whose hysterical fascist lies were even laughed at by the FDR worshipping NYT.

[exenrontexas]

Marine Corps General Smedley Butler is the most decorated American serviceman since George Washington. He served 34 years in the Marines and fought in FIVE wars and was awarded TWO Congressional Medals of Honor. He was a devout Quaker. HIS integrity is WITHOUT QUESTION.

How about YOURS?

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

Tell it like it is...

[badattitude77769]

@exenrontexas If General Smedley Butler stood up in Congress, would he make a difference? It is my strong belief that our gay pageboy roman empire nazi government would listen and then go back to what they are doing. When was the last time you saw our government be for the people? They extended my welfare, my unemployment, what is a poor boy to do?

[mmarkmmart]

@badattitude77769

what does "gay" have to do with any of this?

[elbowbiter1]

Rich people are baby eaters. I once saw a rich guy vomit up the baby he had for breakfast so that he could have sex with it. Then he re ate it. He did all this right in front of the baby's mom. She was real into it, just as long as she could get some money to buy some stupid thing she saw in a magazine. Then the rich guy punched the mom (in the face) and walked away without paying her and no one cared. Rich people are woman beaters.

[stopwastinglana]

good one....yea lets kill all the rich people, i love being on welfare...oh i forgot the people that work and make money are the ones that support me...i changed my mind, lets keep them.

[elbowbiter1]

Dear Lana, Whoa whoa whoa! Who said all this about killing rich folk? That's what the poor are for. They are for us wealthy folk to rape and kill for profit. How would the poor survive with out us? They aren't even completely human. They're all lazy and could never figure out how to survive with out us. Perhaps that is why their baby's taste so good. I prefer the gristly chubby ones. How 'bout you lana? How many dead Iraqi babies helped feul your car today?

Love,

Biter.

[Joe402]

So is this like the only conspiracy theory might have a sense of truth in it?

[am60mo]

if this is true, and I have my doubts, then the same is true today and majority speaking of those in the democrat party.

fact is FDR prolonged the depression, and should have been charged with treason himself.

[tgambill]

FDR was part of the conspiracy, a big part and was helping to set Butler up as a traitor and declare Martial law....it failed.

[israelfnp]

Nice quote am60mo,

FDR is heavily propagandized by the left. This coup is an example of one evil fighting another, and I guess the lesser evil won. Imagine if they had their way and America became a corporate state full of Nazis......oh wait....

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

It is not only Nazis... Add Commies...

[soakchips]

actually, the fascists wanted to wipe the "commies" out

[InfoWarriorMaverick]

Correction: shtml not shtmlt

[zetetic0void]

5:11 "and the removal of the dollar from the gold standard"

----

Probably a huge reason why the banking family elites caused the great depression in the first place.

They got the Federal Reserve through pres. Woodrow Wilson in 1913 (after their banking scares in 1907 which made their idea for a central bank more appealing).

Wallstreet financed Hitler (also G.H.W Bush's father Prescott through Fritz Thyssen) and technology was given to the nazis.

We're still in the corrupt scheme.

[euro944t]

Skull N Bones Luciferians are innocent I tell ya.

Which Skull you vote for in 2004 ?

Bro, Don't tase me for asking !

btw, Edwards won't speak to Kerry because he wanted to hit back Bush on going AWOL and dodging draft, was kept silent by Skulls then setup on sex scandle

[spankeydmonkey]

Hoover probably got a BlowJob from Prescott. That Old Faggot Hoover was a piece of SHIT! He Blackmailed every President he ever served. Those Sovereignty Idiots are talking TREASON and should be arrested , tried and shot.

[euro944t]

Hoover infiltrated the cuban gun runners in Florida working with Mercs. and CIA. His double agent went by name Lee Harvey. Camp was raided by FBI day after Lee left the camp by orders of JFK after Hoover briefed RFK. When Hoover briefed his top 3 FBI on Oswald, Bush 41 was standing over Hoover. 41 also was standing on book depos steps looking for Lee minutes after the "Nightmare On Elm St"

[firstclassbulkheader]

Treason? It's a voluntary union with clauses, dude.

[spankeydmonkey]

Why Prescott Bush was not put against the wall and shot for TREASON remains a MYSTERY? His Son and Grandson have gone on to Completely destroy this Great Country. The Bush Family is a CURSE on this Country.

[joe00727]

soory about that had auto play on and cut me off,Now where was i that's right those fago's in the skull&bone's,I guess hoover thought that he could get favor's from presscott....LOL

[justonefirefly1]

Amen Amen

[barflew]

Smedley Butler was a Marine with Two Medals of Honor.. That is probably why the Wall Street swine didn't have him killed.

[VoiceOfReasonQQ]

I only hope that the right are taken as seriously today. They have characteristically followed their history very well, so it should no surprise if an ignorant modern day version of this same foolishness is underway today.

[tonylee1973]

roosevelt was not as bad a guy as these dudes. but he was a nasty warmongering tyrant also.

THANK GOD FOR SMEDELY BUTLER!!!!!! A total badass. He single handidly put a stop to this. Read about this dude.Bullets did not kill him and with his left hand he could kill 5 people easily.

[tgambill]

FDR was massive and evil conspirator. He was part of the plan as Butler was not aware. An ancestor of FDR, Clinton Roosevelt through the Masons in 1841 wrote the root document for Commuism and passed via Masons to Albert Pike and subsequently to karl marx to rewrite.

[donttrustany1]

I don't doubt for a second that this "fascist coup" did in fact take place. I do not doubt that it happened and the best way to get away with it was to show that the US gov't caught them in the act. Just look at what has happened to this world since 33'. Also, it is mentioned that large business could not stand the fact that the gov't would try and regulate them. Why do you all think we are in the economic situation we are today? 8 years of Bush JR de-regulation.Clinton was a criminal too.

[tonylee1973]

forget bush jr. or clinton. Blame the fascist Alan Greenspan

[tgambill]

Bush and his entire family back to Samuel, Clinton, Hillary are one evil couple..and Obama is controlled by the Illuminati and Brezenski

[GodBlesstheWorld2008]

You are not lieing...

[ladyewoyn]

Our new smedley butler is New Hampshire right now!

[tonylee1973]

what r u talking about? whats up in new hampshire?

[ladyewoyn]

Right now 27 States are seeking Sovereignty from our Govt and New Hampshire started the process. Live Free Or Die. Please google it.

[helmuthoorn]

General Butler did not originate from their elite and was a genuine John Wayne figure who told them to go and .......

themselves and who spilled the beans.

The army was full of Butlers and could not be used by them. Therefore they resided to other tactics.

(Dallas 1963)

[dellsprospects22]

where's our new smedley butler?

[getorphan]

Great series. Thanks for posting.

[AiresQX4]

It's amazing how a traitor like Prescott

can be brought into the light for the whole world to know about his crimes and yet his son and grandson can be President of the U.S.A Our Media is just as guilty as any corrupt Policician for the fact they are actively,continuely partisipating in covering up crimes of hightreason and crimes against humanity as they either ignore extremely important information the public should know about or spin the story and make it sound acceptable or not that bad.

[theclaw195]

ALL the media (except the internet)was and still is controlled by the money interests that tried to stage the coup. FDR was also part of the elite inner circle which is why he chose not to prosecute.

[jbadyna]

^^^^THAT^^^^

[AiresQX4]

???

[sockpuppetsfromhell]

Smedly Butler is one of the best, if not THE best, military man who ever lived. He actually told the truth. That's why amerikan "history" textbooks never mention him and why they never will.
