Most people will be shocked to learn that in 1933 a cabal of wealthy industrialists in league with groups like the K.K.K. and the American Liberty League planned to overthrow the U.S. government in a fascist coup. Their plan was to turn discontented veterans into American brown shirts, depose F.D.R., and stop the New Deal. They clandestinely asked Medal of Honor recipient and Marine Major General Smedley Darlington Butler to become the first American Caesar. He, though, was a true patriot and revealed the plot to journalists and to Congress. In a time when a President has invoked national security to circumvent constitutional checks and balances, this episode puts the spotlight on attacks upon our democracy and the individual courage needed to repel them.
