A Wall Street Coup?

[Andrew Prutsok]

It was so popular because it was basically a welfare state, for those not horribly oppressed.

I am also reading - via Kindle - Spivak's other book from 1939. It is called Honorable Spy and elaborates on the Butler recruitment as well as efforts to form a nationwide police organization that could be put in place when needed. It is mentioned initially that 3 million dollars is available and it could rise to 300 million (In 2017 dollars, that's  equivalent to 54 million and 5.4 billion). He describes in the book, the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo axis that was infiltrating North America with their own efforts to sabotage war efforts and shows that Wall Street was looking for the same sort of "savior" found in Italy, Spain, Germany & Japan. FDR and General Butler helped save whatever liberal democracy means.

Someone who tells a reporter that the NSA is using warrantless means to invade our privacy is pursued and locked up (or forced to flee the country). Attempts to overthrow the government through nefarious means gets hushed up - sorta like what happens 30 years later. (Those curious enough can see the Bush connections with each of these references and even add a third at 9/11). In the 1930's, the 1% hired out thugs to break up unions and hired out pols to protect their interests-(Richard Nixon answered an ad for a pol put out by Prescott Bush right after WW II). In 1963 they made sure no one would uncover anything that could connect them to JFK's murder; like the coup attempt in 1935, no one was held accountable.
