Thanks for the link. I have not read the book but a glance at the pages and comments on the Internet seem to me to be describing a plot (ongoing but exposed early in FDR Administration) by "bankers" to overthrow the government. There was an attempt to involve the Bonus Army of angry W.W.I vets in the plot.

(All that when they just had to get one of the bankers appointed Sec. of the Treasury. Go figure. Another example of history repeating. Today the bankers won.)

Another example of a history loop that I fear could begin shortly is for BHO to copy FDR.

The Great Sedition Trial of 1944.. the purpose of the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 was to destroy Roosevelt's pre-war critics as attention turned to post-war matters particularly about relations with communists. IMO.

The Great Sedition Trial of 1944

FDR started with small fry and planned to move up the chain of opposition.

FDR failed. Obama might succeed, the Establishment today is arguably aging 1960s New Left Marxist-Alinsky radical, campus psycho spoiled brats and their ideological issue. The Establishment in FDR's days were Americans who eventually stopped:

". . . one of the blackest marks on the record of American jurisprudence. In the legal world, none can recall a case where so many Americans were brought to trial for political persecution and were so arrogantly denied the rights [guaranteed] an American citizen under the Constitution.”

Speaking of the Chicago Tribune, the cartoon, and also the Great Sedition Trial of 1944 FDR definitely wanted to destroy the publisher of the Tribune Col. Robert McCormick. If the trials worked to destroy the “little people” the big guys were next.
