Peter Lemkin Wrote:Exactly, Adele! One could go even a bit further back than FDR to Lincoln. All three were basically assassinated by people at the top of power and money who had the same political, economic, and lack-of-ethical views. FDR's has been substantiated by the testimony of Smedley Butler and others, yet remains basically unknown and is in NO high school nor college text on American History....just like the JFK Assassination [except in their propaganda and incorrect forms]. Same with Lincoln.
Hi, Peter,
I can easily agree with your view on the Lincoln assassination and the anti-democratic forces involved. Although about 100 years apart and with an earlier stage of economic development in Lincoln's time, there is the parallel of a conspiracy and the secrecy about it so that a "crazy" single person became the official assassin, obviously to obscure the identities of the other guilty ones. History textbooks told us nothing of how the other conspirators were caught, tried, and executed, at least, not in my educational experience in U.S. grammar and high schools. It wasn't even a rumor.
By the way, I learned about Marine General Smedley Butler and the attempted overthrow of President Roosevelt from my father who had read about it in the New York newspapers, NY Times and Post.
Glad to see you here.
