We all know how the right bristles whenever a comparison is made between George W. Bush and/or his administration and either Adolph Hitler and/or fascism. Perhaps this BBC report will shine some light on why they bristle. Perhaps it hits a little close to home?
I've always found it fascinating how right wing mouth pieces have no problem calling far left liberals "communists," but so vociferously reject the truism that far right conservatives are "fascists." (Or maybe not even so far right?)
Anyhow, this is just one more reason why I have contended for the longest time that the biggest threat to this country isn't communism or terrorism - but rather, conservatism.
Firstly, this excerpt from Wikipedia...
"On October 20, 1942, the U.S. government ordered the seizure of Nazi German banking operations in New York City. President Franklin Roosevelt's Alien Property Custodian, Leo T. Crowley, signed Vesting Order Number 248 seizing the property of Prescott Bush under the Trading with the Enemy Act. The order, published in obscure government record books and kept out of the news, cited only the Union Banking Corporation (UBC) connections with Von Thyssen."
This is a huge report,folks, and it doesn't come from any fringe organization. I've already received one email asking me "Where do you get this stuff?" Well... this "stuff" comes from the BBC. From an award winning investigative series. I strongly recommend y'all give this "stuff" a listen.
This is huge "stuff."

The Whitehouse Coup
Monday 23 July 2007
Document uncovers details of a planned coup in the USA in 1933 by a group of right-wing American businessmen
The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans. The plotters, who were alleged to involve some of the most famous families in America, (owners of Heinz, Birds Eye, Goodtea, Maxwell Hse & George Bush’s Grandfather, Prescott) believed that their country should adopt the policies of Hitler and Mussolini to beat the great depression.
Mike Thomson investigates why so little is known about this biggest ever peacetime threat to American democracy.
