Description | A military takeover of the USA which was planned by a cabal of bankers. It was never enacted due to the character of the man they chose to head it, Smedley Butler. |
The Business Plot was a failed coup by the US deep state which intended to install a Wall St-backed fascist government in the USA. It was foiled primarily because of one man - General Smedley Butler, whom the plotters chose to head the coup.[1]

Official narrative
Wikipedia remarks: "The Business Plot was an alleged political conspiracy in 1933 in the United States"... The closest thing to an official narrative of the event may be the responses to FOIA requests about the event which are available on the MuckRock website.[2]
Corporate media
At the time of the incidents, commercially-controlled media dismissed the plot, with a New York Times editorial characterizing it as a "gigantic hoax" and a "bald and unconvincing narrative."[3][4]
The event
The cabal of bankers chose the wrong guy - Smedley Butler blew the whistle on the planned coup, although the powers that be were fairly successful in flushing the details down the memory hole.[5]
