The 1934 plot should be taught in US History school books.
As should this quote: "I hope we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare to challenge our government to a trial by strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Thomas Jefferson.
BTW “democracy & justice” didn’t win the Gov. lifted her skirt and made a deal no accountability business as usual, that’s why it’s not taught in schools
Then 11 years ago the Supreme court uphold Citizens UNITED letting corporations buy up politians and they have LOBBYISTS to bribe the Senators..Sounds all fair and democratic for doing the best for the masses .
It's the 2021 Democratic Party destroying this country. Over TWO MILLION illegal immigrants cross the border.......but we are going to protect Ukraine's borders from Putin.
My guess is that your JOEjanHorse vote helped accelerate this plot.

@@karltodd7313 I'm fine - you're the one who needs additional help. Enjoying the higher gas prices? Or are you professionally unemployed?
I first heard of Butler in the 80s when I read War Is A Racket. It good to see him being brought up again. And it's appropriate because we are still dealing with the same fascist infestation of uber-rich who will happily destroy democracy so they can rule the world.
Read it years ago. I knew where this was going. I hope this time our wealthy traitors get what they have coming.
It's sick isn't it? The oligarchs already have all the money in the world and it's not enough?
I heard about him my Senior year in HS. In order to graduate in the 70's you had to pass Principals of American Democracy. I don't think it's required anymore.
James Bond had a movie regarding the TAKEOVER of media mogul who wants to rule the world!
That's the book Al Lewis(Grand Pa) spoke about on WBAI before he passed
the new deal helped every one ,in every state,and got a lot done, call it socialism if you want but i will call it progress.
Every time the word “socialism” is used in political context,the weak-of-mind automatically equate it to Soviet style,full-on Communism instead of the progress of the working class. People,as a whole,become set in their old-fashioned ways and fear any sort of change,thereby denying future generations of progress and opportunity. Many,derogatorily,referred to FDR as a Communist but,the social programs enacted by his administration helped the U.S. navigate through the depression until we entered into the very profitable World War II.
@@myleslong5584 that’s the point. The Oligarchs have made sure that ‘socialism’ is always equated with Soviet style communism instead of the democratic socialism of Scandinavia or Canada.
Socialism is progress and progress is Socialism!
Voting is like driving, D is for going forward and R is for going backwards

I love untold history lessons. Goes to show it’s not a left or right paradigm but top to bottom.
For the Love of money is the root of all evil.
Exactly
@Terre Schill, I think that there is no such thing as true RW populism. I've often said that RW populism is indistinguishable from protofascism because they are one and the same.
We are a young country, and we aren't smart enough to avoid the growing pains that a young country is prone to suffer.
@Terre Schill Well stated!!
Smedley Butler was right about a lot of things. "War is a racket."
Yep he tried to warn us about fascism and how Mussolini. Was taken control of the government in Italy also.
Smedley Butler is a Canadian actress. She was in How I met your mother. 🤣

If u read about the history of Bengal in the Indian subcontinent for the last 1000 years, a pattern repeats itself over and over again... The rich & powerful w/ armies at their command have always been either plotting or marching to gain control of the Bengal region for its wealth of either precious metals, or food supply available. As a result, the kingships that ruled the region came from every direction that could gain the upper hand. Conquerors of the region came from Turkey, Persia, South India, North India, West India... Britain, France... India and Pakistan split custody of Bengal after the British empire partitioned India in 1947. Pakistan was granted East Pakistan, while India acquired West Bengal... In 1971, the region declared independence from Pakistan in a brutal liberation war... and then the country became Bangladesh, and went thru decades of being passed between heads of state...
Today, despite the media describing Bangladesh as a "third world" country, the bidding war for control of the country's business interests, access to the Bay of Bengal, and products being manufactured from textiles to food... is an ongoing competition between China, Russia, India, USA and Arab nations, each trying to gain the upper hand for trade profits.
The USA has to understand that any region that has economic value and profitability is ground zero for forces plotting to gain control of the wealth & resources generated... And they never stop.

"When fascism comes knocking it'll be draped in a flag and carrying a cross." Kind of sounds like today. And I live in Pa. & never knew about Butler- should be taught in school.
I'm from Pa. too and never heard of him until about 10 years ago 🤔
Where I come from in Michigan you knew about Smedley Butler before reaching High School where you'd pick him up again by 11th or 12th grade in Civics and Government.
Let me guess, public school?
Hint: they don't be want you to know. Makes for bad press, don't cha know.
What gets me is that today there are people who want to run our government the way they want to run it. They have never picked up arms to protect and defend the government yet they ride the tide for wealth and prosperity. Those who follow these grifters may have served and/or sacrificed yet they have no importance, just stones to walk on so these elite grifters won't get the feet dirty.
November 1934! General Butler did the right thing.
Since the first 13 colonies, big corporations have always been the thorn in the side of democracy. That’s how come unions needed to be formed, as well as laws to protect workers.
You could not be more correct!! This country was founded by The Virginia Company of London and their subsidiary, the Plymouth Company of London. A bunch of rich, second-sons and merchants who were never going to be able to inherit their future from their fathers. So, they started a new country, where they COULD control everything and everyone. They were no better than the oligarchs they ran from. They just moved the oligarchy to a new land where they sat at the top of the ladder instead of the second rung. And from DAY ONE, that is how this country has been run by wealthy corporations. Nice to see someone else who understands and recognizes that truth. There are many things to celebrate about capitalism, but it is not perfect, and the faults it does contain are so inherently unfair that it is, at best, a very flawed system. (Flawed in a way that benefits the top tiers of society)
Simplistic views of history lead to conspiracy theories not intelligent discusions.
Smedley D. Butler, War is a Racket ~ “I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
With insight like that why did the fat cats think they could seduce him?
@@notpurrfect6397 Those insights came after he retired from being a Filabusterer, from setting up the original banana republics. Read about him. A filibuster (from the Spanish filibustero), also known as a freebooter, is someone who engages in an unauthorized military expedition into a foreign country or territory to foster or support a political revolution or secession.The term is usually applied to United States citizens who incited insurrections across Latin America,
Sounds like John Perkins book “confessions of an economic hit man” only this guy was the granddaddy of all
@@simonjohnson1381 It just occurred to me that it bares resemblance to piracy, this invading and stealing. It's been said that with very few exception, all wars are trade wars. Butler was just doing his job as a literal hit man for the USMC. It wasn't until he retired that he reflected on his past. He comes from a Quaker family you know. They called him the fighting Quaker.
Obviously, a student of "The Prince" by Machiavelli. Shrump obviously read Hitler's epic (required reading for every German during the Nazi era (12 years, 1933-1945)).
The only time these traitors are silent is when they have to tell the truth.
How is it Reid who is clearly a racist still on air?
I can't believe MSNBC is finally educating the public on this. Like Twain said, "History does not repeat itself but it does rhyme." It is rhyming big time now.
Twain was against our Phillippines aggression. He wrote War Prayer poem which was extremely antiwar and his wife didn't want him to release. Twain would be incredibly disgusted by our globally aggressions globally ever since as it was ramped up like on steroids.

unfortunately, juries will be made up of 30% fascist trumpers...
As a former Marine, and a history buff, I read about Gen. Butler years ago and he is one of my heroes. He was asked by a reporter, before 1934, to sum up his 40 years as a marine. He is quoted as saying "I'm am a highly trained, highly paid mercenary for the industrial might of the United States." We must be careful, history does repeat itself because we have not been taught enough of it.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
That's one of the main problems with Trump. Doesn't know ANYTHING about history. Or cares to. Same with his crazy followers and current members of Congress.

So yes... most of this so-called 'inflation' is being driven by price gouging , typical corporate greed and a very deliberate move by hundreds of CEOS who supported Trump to hurt the democrats by raising prices so high the citizens think they better get another republican in the white house to fix this problem ...
The key to this whole thing is to remember we had the very same effects on our economy from covid and supply chain issues driven by lack of workers back when Trump was President .. and remember that the Red States were acting pretty much the way they are now . Going out to events ,Bars Restaurants etc. ....but we did'nt see these jacked up crazy prices back then .... so the question is why ..when the oil industry who has spread sheets detailing gas usage for every area of the U.S. going back to the early 50's are not opening their refineries to supply enough fuel now that they see Americans are driving again ... so since they know down to the mile how much they need to supply and are not doing that this obviously tells you this is a very deliberate political move .
Joy, that was a heck of a history lesson learning from you about a true unsung hero and patriot - Smedley Butler. Thank you!
Great lesson. Doesn't go far enough. What if America had been a fascist government during the '40s........? Looking at it that way, not only America but the entire world benefited from Gen. Butler's actions. Furthermore, the state of the world comes down to a single, poor recruiting move by McGuire. If they had asked ANY other general after World War 1, (troops were not cared for, the economy was in shambles, etc.) the state of the world might look a bit different.

The sentiment however is still very cogent to today's politics.

It's a shame people don't know about it, but I'm honestly not surprised.

Put in those terms, no rational thinking person is going to think that's a good idea. But again, this has already been proven out time and time again, many times in the 30's/40's.

Joy, thanks for putting us in the picture, didnt know about this event.
A whole lot of us haven't ! It wasn't taught in our high school history class
Thanks, Joy Reid and Team. The 1933-4 Wall-Street Coup’s parallels to the present are even more dire than most are aware of. Aside from cursory, dismissive mentions in older history books, my knowledge, stemming from schools and libraries, is due to the fact that our Dad’s predecessor in NH was an old Navy Vet, a blue-water brat of the 1910s, who often told me of his childhood and youth in the Canal Zone, during his long, active retirement. I also remember SunOCo, and Standard Oil (now EXXON), and J. P. Morgan, and the Smiths (Sinclair), and Chase, and the Singer-Clarks. We mustn’t forget O. Henry’s ‘CABBAGES AND KINGS’ (He coined the term ‘Banana Republic’!) - and the “Bonus Army Revolt” that MacArthur had put down, shortly before.
The difference to now is that our present Gigabuck crooks like the Kochs /Mercers worked from INSIDE the Traitorous Trumpie ‘Administration’! Sessions. Mnuchin. Ross. Prince-Cruella-deVos. Chao-McConnell. Azar, Nielsen. Carson, McMahon, Perdue, DeJoy, etc.. And Trumpie’s Brownshirt Bunch proper, now illegally occupying his “Winter Palace” at Mar-à-Lago.
However: nobody but people like me really griped, when Trumpie blatantly, “alternatively” violated our Anti-Nepotism Statute, the Emoluments Clause, Due Process, Undue Search and Seizure, RICO, from the very first days of his “Presidency” onwards! And the old Nazi’s STILL incessantly lyin’ his bloated, spray-painted-orange butt off!
This time, we can’t assume that our America has survived. Not until Scalia’s ‘Citizens United’ is overturned, Trumpie / McConnell’s “appointees” have been purged from our highest court, and until after our true Rule of Law has finally put Trumpie & Co. firmly behind bars, where they all belong!
And when we have made damm-sure that those intolerable Four Trumpie Years NEVER disappear from our America’s history school-books!
Absolutely true. Thanks. Looks like someone else knows a little history. Not many left though.
People need to pay attention. If someone smarter than Trump (I know it's a low bar) tries this, they may succeed.
So very true
I doubt he was able to come up with the idea on his own. He does not seem to be one who reads books. So who told him how to do it? P?
And they will try to destroy our democracy again. Count on it!

Bolivia- Elon Musk said on Twitter, " we'll regime change any country we want to." A bit paraphrased, but he was referring to the coup and that countries huge lithium wealth with Musk would want to get his hands on. Morales fled to Mexico but the coup failed to hold and the U.S. puppet dictator was arrested and now being charged as a criminal.

Wow attending Belmont in Nashville in 1982 I had a civics class assignment to interview anyone working in the government. I happened to be singing at the DNC fundraiser at 18, and was able to interview George Wallace!! I asked him about the New Deal and about the projects being built I was able to ask him two questions and he went on and ranted and raved about how those two things ruined America. I very much impressed my Civics instructor at Belmont and got an A+ I wish I still had that cassette tape

FINALLY ... I had been on Twitter for TWO WHOLE YEARS pushing Joy Reid to report this story. Two years later it is too little too late. Stories like this SHOULD be reported BEFORE a January 6 happens. 🤷♂😡smh
Yay! Smedley P Butler - one of the most fascinating americans in history. I've been a big fan for many years.
"Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of
the biggest men in the United States, in the Field of commerce and manufacture, are afraid
of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so
watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they better not speak above their
breath when they speak in condemnation of it."
-- Woodrow Wilson, "The New Freedom" (1913)
**that is heavy... What do you think that power is???**

SEMPER FI - General Butler!
Great piece by Joy Reid. Little know story. Prescott Bush (GW Bush grandfather’s) was allegedly involved in the plot
They named Camp Butler in Okinawa, Japan after this Man. I am honored to have visited that Marine Corp Base in 1995.
AND ….. one of the conspirators was Prescott Bush, the father and grandfather of two Republican presidents: But But But , President Obama’s father was from Kenya.
I love the intro. Educating the masses while low key delivering the news. Thank you!
"Those who fail to learn from the past are doomed to repeat it." Thanks Joy for educating your audience so we can make informed decisions on policy in the present time.
thom hartmann has been talking about this for ages. nice to see the mainstream press catching up with the outlier progressives.
I changed my mind, don't send trump to prison, send him to planet Pluto along with his diehard supporters, with only enough fuel to get there. I'm willing to donate my entire savings, stock, and I'll even donate a suitcase!!!

Ask the thousands of Americans that were stranded in the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle if general Milly deserves a medal of honor what a joke. Quite honestly that could have been the biggest military debacle in the history of the United States.

The most chilling quote in Nancy MacLean's brilliant *Democracy in Chains*, from a Republican donor: "We have to save capitalism from democracy."
That sums up the corporate oligarchy masquerading as Trumpism's plutocratic populism.
Do you know who was around then? Koch bros dad. Interesting synchronicity.
Didn't know that, but not surprising, because the Apple didn't fall far from the Koch tree.
The Birch Society ....American fascists
Bush grandad was involved
I have been calling the entire Trump Administration the "Business Plot 2.0" in various comment forums since around year 2, and actually FIRST uttered the words way back when rich donors tried to draft Mattis as a potential CANDIDATE for president in 2016.
Mostly because of the whole "marine general funded by plutocrats" thing. To be honest I was far less aware pre-Trump and had never even HEARD of Mattis before that.
Interesting.., as a American Allie as such.., I am now wondering if I allowed myself to buy into Mattis being the man of the hr.. the keel to hold the US, NATO , us other US allies … together, that he would hold trump from flippant war.. etc
But Mattis has never spoken up, defended the US constitution… as he made out he was all over..
Too easy for a Marine General to sell creds
@@tigertiger1699 he didn't put a spectacular stop to the whole thing before it took hold as Butler did, but he DID push back and interfere internally it seems, and he did denounce Trump, his poor character/temperament and his deliberate division post-resignation. I don't think it appears fair to say Mattis was "in on it." I just immediately saw the parallel in his original candidacy.
Butler wasn't the villain in the original Business Plot, he was the hero... and Mattis seems to have tried to play something approaching a similar role. I did wonder at the time in 2016, though, if the business elites of TODAY had followed the same model but convinced themselves they'd done their homework and picked a man they knew would go along with it. It would appear I was wrong, and I'm glad to say the least!
General Milley seems to have taken more direct measures at a much more critical juncture when it was far more certain something VERY WRONG was happening.
Had no idea that this has been going on for so long. Thank you Joy ❣️. End of the world as we know it!! Thank you REM!!

AFTER the war, Fred Koch and Robert Welch devoted part of their fortunes to establishing the John Birch Society, of considerable infamy. Koch’s son Charles more or less owns the ‘conservative/libertarian movement’ now that his brother David is dead. I’ve always wondered if Welch and Koch were involved in the businessmen’s plot before the war.
Prescott Bush, father of George Bush and grandfather of George W., was a part of the plot as well.
Do we have evidence, or just perfidious shrubbery?
And you can bet that such illustrious patriotic Americans as Henry Ford would have been in favor or on board with it, along with Charles Lindbergh.
let's be clear; it wasn't just "the super-rich" who did this. it was businesses.
yes ! Do a two hour special ! Go over the business plot! Red Summer! Trail of Tears! Rosewood Florida! Japanese internment! If they don't want toteach American History in schools then doit on the air!

In Oliver Stone's movie "JFK" he has Clay Shaw mention his butler, who is really named 'Frankie Jenkins, but whom he refers to as 'Smedley' . . . Smedley the Butler . . . Hah! I'm 100% sure that Oliver Stone was adding a non-historical detail to the story, just to shoe-horn the name 'Smedley Butler' into his film about a fascist overthrow of an American Presidential administration.
Well now who knows what else was up. And thanks for the history lesson.
Excellent news and history, this should be taught in scools. Keep this segment on every month!
Thank you, Joy.

'The Plot to Seize the White House' by Jules Archer is the original book about the conspiracy, published in 1973.. Not sure if this guys book is just a rip off of that or not, haven't read it, but it sounds like it is.... Smedly Butler is a true hero though..
I used to think that even though we are a young country, that we could be smart enough to look at and learn from the history of how nations grow; therefore, we could avoid the growing pains and mistakes that immature nation experience as they grow.
Boy, did I project that one wrong.
The difference between various left wing Socialism and right wing Fascism.... Socialism believes in helping the people, Fascism believes in helping the businesses. Both are socialist forms of government, socialist are for society and fascist are for the state. Mussolini and Hitler both nationalized the means of production, that is a socialist idea ( that the means of production are owned by the people... In many democratic cases that means the government, but in fascism it means the state, not the people). They also gave business that were left money and slaves to help them thrive. Corporate Welfare... just like trump and the republicans have done through his period in office. Republicans like to keep the wages down so that people are controlled instead of having any freedom to change jobs, or increase their lives.
They use socialism as a dirty word and it IS TO THEM... it means helping your fellow man, it means making sure society is smooth and taken care of... these are BAD concepts to the right wing... they believe in control and greed.
I'm sorry but all that is wildly incorrect. I can tell that you mean well, but just... no. Fascism is a far-right ideology opposed to all forms of the left and that believes democracy is obsolete and aims to achieve a totalitarian one-party state, combining nationalism with racism and bigotry against the poor, disabled, lgbt and religious minorities considered the "out-groups." It's usually highly militarized with expanded, near total authority given to law enforcement. It calls for a return to greatness, a conservative and mythologized version of the nation. Fascism is not a system of governance nor an economic system. It's a STYLE of governance delineated by 14 characteristics (or red flags, if you will).
Socialism is an economic system. You were halfway there. Yes, means of production and distribution owned and operated by the worker, but this can be done through the state or through the workplace, like a union except the union itself operates the business which means, essentially, democracy in the workplace. Don't like your boss? Elect a new one from the ranks or run yourself, etc. Socialism is NOT a system of governance, but ideally the democracy within businesses trickles up to make the government more democratic.
Nationalizing a business isn't inherently a socialist idea, or a communist or fascist idea, and fascism does not believe inherently in helping the businesses either. It does TEND to benefit privately owned businesses and CEO's because they're protected from their workers pushing back against them, and fascists usually seek out their help because they fear their workforce (as they should) and want their money and support. If they didn't need that help or support, they wouldn't care about it. At some point people started misinterpreting fascism to mean "when business and state work together" which is pretty idiotic in my opinion because that basically describes every 1st world nation.
OMG JOY, until the fascists take over and take you off the AIR or their more typical - threaten you/ your Family - - Just PLEASE, Please, always keep being willing to SPEAK TRUTH 2 POWER!!! I just loved your 1st Segment, especially!!
