Hey, Colt members. Welcome to Colt short number seven. I'm your host, Jacob. And this is my first time kind of doing a short by myself. So I'm actually kind of excited to get this out.

I want to talk about a conspiracy I've known about for a very long time, but really and truly haven't, haven't done it because I didn't have all the information compiled. I didn't have everything lined up like I wanted.

So I wanted to give it its due process and this due research before I presented it to y'all.

So let's talk about the business plot. The business plot was a coup to overthrow FDR that was set up by Wall Street makers of 1933 and 34.

And it was taken so serious that the House of Representatives have a special committee on un-American activities to look into this and research this.

It was really seen as a, I guess the term terrorist wasn't really a term at that time, but it was seen as almost treasonous thing.

The only reason why these people didn't get tried for treason was because of who they were, who their connections were and how much money they have. We'll get into that in a minute.

In 1934, FDR let out all these campaign promises of jobs for the unemployed. Well, no shit, Sherlock, who doesn't want jobs for the unemployed.

What the time keep mind in the 32, we're talking at the full swing of the Great Depression. He's promising all these jobs for the unemployed and all these jobs.

The businessmen were very worried about FDR turning the country into socialism and to communism. Okay, now keep in mind, the businessmen weren't worried during the depression.

They were, they were fine. They had their money lined up. It was the working man in the lower class that were really suffering from this.

FDR came out with all these promises and all of Wall Street was kind of worried that they were going to, you know, have to do some things and FDR was going to get in the way of their bottom line.

So to add a little bit of fuel to that fire, in 1933, FDR took the United States off of the gold standard.

Okay, there was so many politicians, including a senator Henry D. Hatfield. He basically spent an entire speech shitting all over FDR pulling us off the gold standard, which I have to agree with him. We're not going to lie.

He went on to say that it basically just turned America into a bunch of slaves and robots. And we had given up our freedom willingly because of this tyrant FDR like he went into a whole monologue on this.

Alright, so now what were we going to do about that? That's what the conspirators were thinking. So they started the American Liberty League. Okay, now I'm throwing this term out. You've never heard of this more than likely.

But there was some Americans and I don't just mean your average Joe blows. I mean people like Lamont Dupont. Maybe you've heard of the Dupont franchise or Alfred Sloan. He was the CEO of General Motors at the time.

We're talking about some heavy hitters in the finance and politics world. We're going to be honest.

We're going to be down to the American Liberty League. Okay, and they decided that they were going to try to recruit soldiers for their cause. And I don't mean just like figurative soldiers for the cause.

I mean literal soldiers, World War One veterans as a matter of fact, they thought the best place to recruit these people who would be pissed off at the government and we'll talk about why a minute would be at the American Legion halls. Okay, these are pretty much uses recruiting grounds for this coup.

A Mr. Doyle and Mr. McGuire, both of them were presidents of their respective American Legion halls, who also were massive fascist sympathizers took up the cause and decided to try to mobilize this.

Now I want to take a minute to talk about fascism. In the early 1930s, fascism was not seen as a bad word. It was seen as a solution to a problem. You look at what was going on in Germany in the 1930s early 1930s before they started their military push.
