Dear RN list, Feb. 12 I had never heard of this attempted coup by US corporate elites; sounds like something we ought to know about! (See below.) The next message to you, a letter to the editor written by long time friend of CDR (Citizens for a Democratic Renaissance), Paul Swann, reminds us of the most pressing priorities in this crazy world: " In my view the challenge of our time is to (i) educate ourselves about the underlying causes of our socio-political, economic and environmental problems, (ii) build a strong grassroots resistance movement to halt the slide towards global totalitarianism, and (iii) develop a viable strategy for creating a society that is just, genuinely democratic and ecologically sound." The danger of global totalitarianism is real. Read Paul's letter (next message) for a timely reminder of his danger. all the best, jan Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 21:46:39 -0800 From: nurev <•••@••.•••> Organization: Nurev Independent Research Subject: ******** ATTENTION - SPECIAL PROGRAM ************ Friday 8pm ( E.T.) on the History Channel. " The Plot To Overthrow FDR " The true conspiracy by some of America's Corporate Elites to overthrow FDR and install a much admired Fascist government based on those of the European Fascists in Italy, Spain, and Germany. They made just one teeny weeny mistake. They asked General Smedley Darlington Butler, the most famous and revered military man in America at the time to lead the vast number of Vets and active duty soldiers that they hoped would take part in the coup. He saved this country. Major General Smedley D. Butler was a three time winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, and a famous hero of the Spanish American War and W.W.I. How is it that hardly anyone has ever heard of him? Don't miss this opportunity! The few books about Smedley Butler are out of print and very difficult to come by. This is one of the MOST SUPPRESSED chapters in our history. It is one of the foremost examples of corporate treason in a long history of corporate treason which goes on to this day. Joshua2
