Considering recent events, I figure that some folks would be interested in a forerunner. A long time ago, General Smedley Butler was approached with a plan by corporate interests to puppet the US Presidency. It is due to his integrity that it failed.

Unfortunately, as with Reconstruction, the perpetrators of the plot weren’t removed from power. Thus, the seeds of today’s crisis were likely waiting for a chance to sprout.

I have linked a Behind the Bastards episode that goes over the 1st Business Plot. As they say: “This is a story people should know.”
