BBC: W's grandpappy planned fascist coup of USA

Kevin says: A BBC Radio 4 investigation sheds new light on a major
subject that has received little historical attention, the conspiracy
on behalf of a group of influential powerbrokers, led by Prescott
Bush, to overthrow FDR and implement a fascist dictatorship in the
U.S. based around the ideology of Mussolini and Hitler.
 Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by a
group of 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.
