The "Business Plot" (also the Plot Against FDR and the White House Putsch) was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 wherein wealthy businessmen and corporations plotted a coup détat to overthrow United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1934, the Business Plot was publicly revealed by retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler testifying to the McCormack-Dickstein Congressional Committee. In his testimony, Butler claimed that a group of men had approached him as part of a plot to overthrow Roosevelt in a military coup. One of the alleged plotters, Gerald MacGuire, vehemently denied any such plot. In their final report, the Congressional committee supported Butler's allegations of the existence of the plot, but no prosecutions or further investigations followed, and the matter was mostly forgotten.
On July 17, 1932, thousands of World War I veterans converged on Washington, D.C., set up tent camps, and demanded immediate payment of bonuses due them according to the Adjusted Service Certificate Law of 1924. This "Bonus Army" was led by Walter W. Waters, a former Army sergeant. The Army was encouraged by an appearance from retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler, who had considerable influence over the veterans, being one of the most popular military figures of the time. A few days after Butler's arrival, President Herbert Hoover ordered the marchers removed, and their camps were destroyed by US Army cavalry troops under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. Butler, although a self-described Republican, responded by supporting Roosevelt in that year's election.
In a 1995 History Today article Clayton Cramer argued that the devastation of the Great Depression had caused many Americans to question the foundations of liberal democracy. "Many traditionalists, here and in Europe, toyed with the ideas of Fascism and National Socialism; many liberals dallied with Socialism and Communism." Cramer argues that this explains why some American business leaders viewed fascism as a viable system to both preserve their interests and end the economic woes of the Depression.

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.
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.
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?
