Broken Liberty - The Whitehouse Coup- BBC Radio 4:

Do we have a 'General Smedley Butler' in America today? The difference today is, they already have the White House. The coup is on us, not the government! They own the government and mainstream media. I fear they own both parties, both Democrats and Republicans! I may be wrong, but they are going to have to prove it.

~ In 1933 corporate America attempted to implement a coup against the US Government with plans to install a right-wing fascist dictatorship. One of the players in this treason was Prescott Bush, Georgie's grandaddy among other so called captains of industry, whom I refer to as traitors. This coup was thwarted due to the efforts of General Smedley Butler whom corporate america tried to draw into their conspiracy. Unlike the business sector of America, General Butler believed in democracy, he believed in the principles that America was founded upon and it is thanks to him that this coup didn't take place in 1933.

From my observations however of how America has changed since the first attempted coup I have posed for several years that this didn't end the corporate attempt to take over America, that it merely forced them to go underground and use more deceptive, furtive techniques over time to steal the nation from the people and complete for the most part what they tried in 1933. Through funding right-wing politicians, right-wing think tanks, consolidating media into fewer corporate hands, constantly moving political dialogue as far to the right as possible, dominating the economic system, they have basically succeeded in their coup. Now the country is completely corporate ruled, both political parties completely dominated by the wealthy few, wealth goes upward to the wealthiest, information is dominated by a few media conglomerates, right-wing war mongering dominates what we hear and see on TV, and they have even demonized the word "liberal" as liberalism has always been an enemy of fascism, they have instituted corporate theft rights like NAFTA and GATT, they prevent the nation from adopting a sane national health care system because a few want to milk us for every cent they can while millions suffer, they have exported our manufacturing base overseas to exploit impoverished people with zero loyalty to our country, they keep much of our wealth they have stolen in offshore accounts to avoid taxes while we pay our share and theirs, they manufacture wars through their media, think tanks, and phoney experts that serve a corporate agenda, they get you to sacrifice yourselves and your kids in their manufactured wars where the agenda isn't to serve the country but loot other countries and our treasury, they are putting us into massive debt that our grandchildren will be paying for while they receive no-bid contracts and make record profits, they have privatized everything in Iraq and wrote their constitution for them opening the country completely to foreign ownership and are planning the same with other nations especially in the middle east and using us to do it. Meanwhile they have been gradually been doing the same here. They have created a revolving door between them and government and deliberately undermine elements of our government such as social programs so they can claim they don't work so that money will go to private hands instead and they have and will again make attemprts to steal the social security fund.
