Dear Editor,
Another conspiracy theory has passed into conspiracy fact. The BBC, using recently released congressional committee papers from the 1930s, has detailed the plot to install a fascist dictator and murder Franklin D. Roosevelt undertaken by a group of superwealthy Americans (
www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/history/document/document_20070723.shtml).
The names documented using these official U.S. government records include one Prescott Bush, W.'s granddaddy. The plan (which may well have worked had it not been exposed by former Marine Gen. Smedley Butler) proposed to use 500,000 ex-soldiers to be paid by the likes of J.P. Morgan and other Wall Street biggies. (But you can't have a conspiracy with so many people involved, can you?)
Looks like treason runs in families.
