Where is Smedley Butler When You Need Him?

Who is Smedley Butler you ask: (photograph to right)

General Smedley Butler revealed a corporate coup (he was

asked to lead) to take over the government FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) . The coup was sponsored by Prescott Bush (grandfather of W), who also had companies "seized for trading with the enemy."

From "The Plot to Seize the White House" by Dale Wharton, Hawthorne books)

Why would a cabal of capitalists--conspirators of enormous wealth-- approach such a man? Because they knew veterans revered him; he never ordered anything done he would not do himself. Grunts, noncoms, and combat officers believed Butler was their friend. Forty times, envoys of Wall Street tried to persuade him to lead a coup d'etat.

The instigators wanted a putsch commander who could mobilize 500,000 soldiers overnight. These would make up a paramilitary force, to take form as the American Liberty League. Its pattern was a French veterans' group, the Croix de Feu. (The backers studied then rejected two other models of veterans' organization that fascists had used in taking power: Mussolini's blackshirts and Hitler's brownshirts.)

The reason for the plot was the election of President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), a member of the same ruling circles as the cabal itself. March 5, 1933--the day after his inauguration--FDR embargoed the export of gold and declared a national bank holiday. He told the "Hundred Days Congress" to enact a New Deal into law. In striving against the Depression, FDR awakened hope in the American people, but he appalled bankers and industrialists. Who would pay for this New Deal? The rich feared changes to the US system of finance, a rise in taxes, possibly even (Heaven forbid!) socialism.

Rumours of the plot reached Washington, where the Committee on Un- American Activities (CUAA)--was already exposing fascist intrigues. Its cochairmen were John McCormack (D MA) and Samuel Dickstein (D NY). CUAA got in touch with Smedley Butler: did the general have anything to tell them? After prying out all the plans he could, Butler asked a friend, an experienced newsman, to confirm the whole incredible scheme. The reporter visited twice with an agent of the conspirators (a wounded Marine vet) and set down his findings.

Secret executive hearings of CUAA opened November 20, 1934. Sworn testimony showed that the plotters represented notable families --Rockefeller, Mellon, Pew, Pitcairn, Hutton; and great enterprises-- Morgan, Dupont, Remington, Anaconda, Bethlehem, Goodyear, GMC, Swift, Sun.... Some people named as plotters laughed, all denied everything.

"The reader who wishes to examine the official testimony is referred to the government report, `Investigation of Nazi Propaganda Activities and Investigation of Certain Other Propaganda Activities: Public Hearings Before the Special Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, Seventy-third Congress, Second Session, at Washington, DC, December 29, 1934. Hearings No. 73-D.C.-6, Part 1.' Extracts of the censored testimony are revealed in the books A MAN IN HIS TIME, by John L. Spivak [NY: Horizon Press, 1967], and ONE THOUSAND AMERICANS, by George Seldes [NY: Boni & Gaer, 1947]" (p 140).

Here we are then back to the feudal times we are living in, where lightweight thugs in suits walk from torture, obstruction of justice, and the administration elected to CHANGE it all - is defending their indefensible actions in court. Where is Smedley Butler indeed. WHERE are the individuals who throughout history have STOOD in integrity, ethics and true divine spirit

for the justice of all humanity. We are under the rules of

criminal thugs no more, no less.

We are told by media that the Bush Cheney crime syndicate could never have pulled off 911 and kept it quiet this long. I have two responses to that:

1. The Bush Cheney crime syndicate has managed to keep quiet a thirty year record of trading with the enemy, data recorded in the US National Archives which shows the Bush clan had companies "SEIZED FOR TRADING WITH THE ENEMY" throughout WWII. While it is well known that Halliburton, under Cheney, armed Iran,and Iraq for that matter. ALL of this has been kept out of the media yet is readily available in the U.S. National

Archives. (Can you imagine the uproar if Obama had these FACTS in his past).

2. The criminal complicity of corporate American media in covering up for what can only be called a fascist treasonous family that has been attacking democracy and America for sixty years, while they deregulated corporations to crime in suits.

Come back Smedley Butler we need someone with the courage and character to stand against treason.
