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 Bush) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.

Well the dollar is reaching all time lows and just keeps going down, So looking at the present administration, did they actually succeed? or are they about to?.
 
Yes, its not shocking or anything. There were several fascist political movements going on in the US in the 20's and 30's. Many ulta-conservative American Legion members supported fascist plans as FDR was making the country more socialist/welfare oriented to combat the Great Depression. You have to realize that in those days both Facism and Communism seemed like viable alternatives in this country.
 
Prescott Bush was technically, his family and his father collaborated financially with the Nazi regime.
 
I think he means more of a "Cool, you learn something new every day".
