The Whitehouse Coup

Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by right-wing American businessmen

The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy.

Part 2:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...49848239933287

This is my favorite history video. I watch this 2 part show maybe once every 6 months idk why but for some reason I really like it. (it was made by pbs in a series called "Empires" iirc, and you can find all of them online on youtube or google videos just search for empires on pbs for the episode list)
