This should be "Gen Smedley D. Butler Day" instead of Inauguration Day
Advertisements [?]
Our history teachers have already removed E V Debs pretty much from high school history books so I don't feel amazed that absolutely NO MENTION ever gets made of USMC Gen. Smedley D. Butler, who single-handedly saved the country from fascists in the 1930's by whistleblowing to Congress on the "Plot to Overthrow FDR"

see http://www.ihffilm.com/r547.html

The book by Jules Archer, "The Plot to Seize the White House" is difficult to find, and expensive to boot.

I just wish Mel Gibson and/or Michael Moore would do a dramatization of this true hero, what I would call America's "Braveheart" and show the neocon/neofascists for who they really are !

Is Hollywood up to the task, or is just more 'disinformation' for the Bush regime forthcoming ?
