Ain't a hell of a lot changed in 80 years.
Well one thing.
Thanks to Citizen's United the filthy rich can carry out their plots in public.
And they can purchase politicians in public.
if you are interested here's the links:

1. Did you ever see the TV series "City of Angels?"

It first aired in 1976 and starred Wayne Rogers (M*A*S*H*) as Jake Axminster. It took place during the 1930s was patterned after the movie "Chinatown."

The first three episodes were titled "The November Plan." It was about how Gen. Smedley Butler (Lloyd Nolan) was approached with a plan to overthrow the US government.

Anyway, I thought it odd that "City of Angels" had only one season, and I wonder if Wayne Rogers's career suffered as a result of this Hollywood attempt to expose a dirty plot by plutocrats.

4. War is a Racket -- by General Smedley Butler

"That war is a racket has been told us by many, but rarely by one of this stature. Though he died in 1940, the highly decorated General Butler (two esteemed Medals of Honor) deserves to be heralded for his timeless message, which rings true today more than ever. His riveting 1935 book War is a Racket merits inclusion as required reading for every high school student, and for every member of our armed forces today. Below is a ten-page summary of the best of this powerful exposé."

5. The human race learns VERY SLOWLY.

And with comfort, greed, irresponsibility, and FOX, we'll learn even slower. We're on a crash course, if you ask me. A duel between knowledge and ignorance. Evil and good, if one would.
