Thank you, Jim, for your remarks. There is a History Channel Video of the 1933-34 attempted coup d'etat against the newly elected President Roosevelt, in which Jules Archer narrates a portion of it. I will try to locate it for you on You Tube. It's about 40 minutes long.
I learned of this when I was a young child from my father who had read of it in the newspapers. When John Kennedy was killed in 1963, just 30 years after the coup d'etat attempt in 1933 to place a fascist dictator in the president's position, I was immediately reminded of the earlier event, and it serves as a model for the assassination of John Kennedy in my mind. Many of the same peoiple and their families from Wall Street banking and industrial corporation interests who were opposed to Roosevelt were also opposed to President Kennedy and his policies. These links can eventually tell us why Kennedy was killed and by whom.
I could not find any hint of the attempted coup in American history texts. Jules Archer's book came out in 1973, 40 years after the event. Jules Archer had been 17 years old when it happened and wrote a wonderful book about it. You might be able to find a copy of his original book online. I remember that someone who was in the music business paid more than a couple hundred dollars for a copy and then posted a copy of the entire book on line, before the revised edition appeared on Amazon.com. Try a Google search, using the title of the book (The Plot Against the White House by Jules Archer). Good Luck..

This is the link to The Fascist Plot to Overthrow FDR (in full for 40:50 minutes). You can also watch it in four 10-minute segments under Business Plot to Overthrow FDR if you go to http://www.youtube.com
and enter those titles in the Search Box. There are also some good videos of Marine General Smedley Darlington Butler.
