The Business Plot: The Little-Known Story Of The Wall Street Scheme To Launch A Fascist Coup In America
By Andrew Lenoir | Checked By John Kuroski
Published September 2, 2019
Updated November 15, 2022
On Nov. 24, 1934, retired General Smedley Butler sat before a closed session of the Congressional Special Committee on Un-American Activities in New York. Though he was a two-time Medal of Honor winner with a once unimpeachable reputation, Butler knew there were already those outlets, like the New York Times, who would call his story a “Gigantic Hoax.”
He also knew, however, that if he said nothing the Business plot, a coup of the country’s most wealthy designed to remove President Franklin D. Roosevelt from office and replace him with a fascist regime, could only continue. Worse still, it might succeed.
