As FDR's "new Deal was fascist in nature in the first place (en.wikipedia.org...), why would it be necessary to cook up such a plot in the first place?

Well its hard to question this, as its the truth.
This is the truth, so its really not a conspiracy. And we need to stop it, big time.
I've been trying to plow through the book written by Jim Marrs, "Rise of the Fourth Reich"

Isn't it amsuing that once some "conspiracy" is officially "uncovered", habitual conspiracists stop asking any meaningful questions and fall flat for it?
Look at how lttle evidence there is of the "Coup d'etat". Just two guys with statements completely contradicting each other. Even so, the Congressional Committee declared it true although no one named can even be prosecuted for treason since the only evidence against them was hearsay! An attempted "Coup d'etat" is declared as uncovered, no conspirators can be brought to justice and one hero! Wow!
The whole thing was a conspiracy to give FDR another term in office. As admitted in the last of the videos, FDRs policies didn't work the way expected by the people and his popularity was dropping. What better way to make him popular with the people than to pretend that the "big businesses and banks" are so against him that they were planning to stage a "Coup d'etat" to get rid of him?
Gen Butler quite likely believed what he stated. Had he agreed to lead the "Coup d'etat" he would have been "outed" and the other guy would have been the hero. Since he seemed to take too long to come out with his willingness, they came out with the committee to investigate a possible "Coup d'etat" and he played his part, although unintentionally, in shoring up FDRs popularity.
If there is a "failed conspiracy" to overthrow/assassinate Barack Obama before the next year's elections you can be sure who has been selected to be the next President
1. Stock Market Crash of 1929
2. Bank Failures
3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board
4. American Economic Policy with Europe
5. Drought Conditions

Yeah.. why are we saying this was just attempted? Did we not put Nazi sympathizer Prescott's Son AND Grandson at the head of our country? Is our country not more and more resembling a fascist state?

>> Wow. This "theory" of yours defies logic.
If FDR's policies DID NOT bring America out of the "Great Depression" -- then what did? If you think it was WW II -- then why did WW I hurt our economy and why did Bush's two wars RUIN our economy? It's absolute nonsense to believe that spending money on a war that produces nothing but destruction could "HELP" an economy more than public works projects that build roads, bridges and dams.
The Fascists that created the first Great Depression, have been "educating us" on our economy since the Reagan era. Low import fees on goods, tax incentives for outsourcing jobs, and no limit to compensation on the executives who "create jobs." Meanwhile the drone on the allegedly "Liberal media" of anything, ever, that a Union did that was corrupt -- regardless of whether it had bee co-opted by the companies. Lower taxes on the wealthy means LESS INVESTMENT -- and for every dollar Bush doled out in Tax Breaks -- the Wealthy in this country increased foreign investment by $2. That's right, the $750 Billion in tax breaks became over $1.4 Trillion in dollars leaving the country. I find it hard to believe this was an accident.
FDR's policies were the opposite of Reagan, Bush and now Obama+Republican's. The Bush, Ford, and other powerful Wall Street families had business with the Nazis. How can we then explain, how the USA ended up in the war against Germany?
And what happened after is very much part of the discussion. To think that such an idea is just given up on and not re attempted in a less pronounced manner would be foolish.
You don't think it would be possible that his son and grandson who would both be very knowledgeable on his ideas might not be sympathetic to the philosophy and cause?
I gotta say taking time off the topic to scold people for tossing out an opinion isn't a great way to stop your thread from being derailed by every opinion you don't want posted in your thread.
