The Bush Fortune Legacy

The BBC had a radio program yesterday referencing Dubya's grandpappy's financial support of Hitler, which revealed that a coup was planned by US businessmen, including Prescott Bush, to topple President Roosevelt.

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.
