The Whitehouse Coup (1933) 1 of 3
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.

Illuminati false flag terror attacks to be blamed on Militia & Lisbon Treaty critics as homegrown
Reupload from downwithbilderberg. From nibirushock. This is the evil plan of the Illuminati and as half-truth projected in the “fictious” slideshow story BlackJack21 at Telegraph.co.uk URL: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/cu…
Daniel Estulin warned that Bilderberg will attempt to link DeClan Ganley, leader of Ireland’s Libertas Anti-Lisbon Treaty movement, with U.S military arms dealer and American militia movement funding. The Bilderbergs want to discredit Ganley to get the Bilderberg’s Lisbon Treaty passed. The Treaty will complete the EU with ONE constitution. Bilderberg wants the EU with ONE curency, ONE government, and ONE constitution. This way the Bilderbergs can centralize the EU to control the EU.
4 suspects are charged with plotting to bomb New York. Only 3 have appeared in court. The 4th is SUPPOSEDLY getting medical attention, and then will appear in court. CNN did “news” on the 4 suspects. Everyone should know that CNN is controlled by the CIA.
Daniel Estulin warned about connecting Ganley to U.S arms dealers and American militia with funding. First clip I show is the interview of Daniel Estuling. Second, Third, and Fourth clip are CCN’s “news” video on the 4 suspect that plotted to bomb NY.
Keep in mind these from the Daniel Estulin interview:
1) Ireland (who voted “NO” that stopped the EU constitution, now called the Libson Treaty)
2) Stinger missile (only the U.S military possess these)
3) U.S military American militia (aka self-contained homegrown group)
4) Constant claims of Anti-semitism by CNN
Is it a coincidence that news on this terrorist plot happens only a week after the Bilderberg meeting in Greece? Is it a coincidence that DHS sec. Janet Napolitano gets grilled for the MIAC report, and this terrorist plot happens to justify “extremist” in the MIAC report? Is it a coincidence that Iran finished rocket testing that can reach Israel, and this terrorist plot happens to justify an attack on Iran, because Israel is fearfull of the rocket?
This terrorist plot is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE TO HAPPEN when Bilderberg, DHS, and Israel can profit from the terrorist plot…..just like 9/11 helped them out.
Another thing that bothers me is…..The FBI said that the FBI was working on this case for 12 months. According to the Patriot Act, the FBI could have arrested the 4 guys AT ANY TIME, but instead the FBI gave the 4 guys inert C4 explosive and stinger missile. Then, let the 4 guys plant the explosives at 2 NY synagogue. Remember not too long age the 16 yr old arrested under Patriot Act for making a bomb threat? The 16 yr old was immediately arrested with NO PROOF, NO BOMB MAKING MATERIAL, or anything of substance. BUT, these 4 guys were followed for one year, and could have been arrested just for asking for C4 and a stinger missile. How can you NOT say that THIS WAS A TOTAL SET-UP?
