I’d heard rumours, after the 9/11 fallout, that Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of two US presidents, was a fascist, or at least a nazi sympathizer. It seems these rumours might be true.
BBC Radio has developed a documentary about coup plotted in 1933 that 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.”
More information about the plot and the documentary is available here from Harper’s columnist, Scott Horton.
I wonder whose policies the lizard brains will want to adopt after the next great depression has its way with us?
