Stunning!,

This review is from: Wall Street and FDR (Hardcover)
Courageous Author Sutton here lays bare one of the essential truths of American history: FDR was brought to power by corporate fascists. And these same Wall Street social engineers also brought the world the Bolshevik Revolution and the rise of Hitler, as Sutton proves in the companion volumes to this essential work.
Between the covers of this very important work, Sutton reveals many fascinating details. Among the most interesting are these: In the early 1930's, General Smedley Butler revealed a fascist plan to take over the government of the United States. The plan was derailed, mainly through the courage of the highly decorated war hero General. FDR was greatly under the control of Wall Street power players, such as Bernard Baruch. In this volume, Sutton records one of Baruch's most revealing phrases, the "elation and fervor of war". Notice how similar is Baruch's affection for the horror of war to that our current neoconservative mad men. The book is excellent. It is much better written than "Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution". And the information contained herein is of the utmost importance to he who would understand this most pivotal of US Chief Executives.

This review is from: Wall Street and FDR (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book immensely, it has many insights into the whys and wherefores of the Depression years, most of which is in dispute I'm sure. But I'm sure we never know what is truly happening in our own times, much less in other times. This is reputedly from a letter to Colonel House:
"The real truth of the matter is, as you and I know,that a financial element in the larger centers has owned the Government ever since the days of Andrew Jackson - and I am not wholly excepting the Administration of W.W.(Woodrow Wilson). The country is going through a repetition of Jackson's fight with the Bank of the United States - only on a far bigger and broader basis." -- President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 11/21/33

Reveals FDR's "New Deal" for what it really was: Old Socialism,
By SmokeNMirrors (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wall Street and FDR (Hardcover)
The true nature of socialism is lost on the vast majority. It is also true that many do not like to be told that the political systems under which they live are classic examples of socialism, and have been for a very long time, only really changing in degrees of subtlety. Most do not like to be told that most if not all of their politicians are members of, or paid front men of, those parasites generally referred to as "the elite"; the mega-wealthy bankers & industrialists who have used the political arena to increase their wealth, power and influence over the past century and more to the point they now control the whole political process, and indeed in many ways the direction of society itself.
Unfortunately, as British-born research fellow Antony Sutton skillfully documents in this second book of three, there is too much evidence in government archives to discount as "conspiracy theory" the notion that bankers and their puppets have dominated politics for at least the last century; there is additionally enough evidence in these and other sources to suggest that this state of affairs, rather than being an exclusively modern phenomenon, has always existed. The evidence also illuminates the point that there is no paradox in supposedly capitalist financiers supporting socialist regimes, for, as Gary Allen so succinctly pointed out, "it [socialism] becomes the logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. ...Socialism is not a movement of the downtrodden masses, but of the economic elite." Following on from Wall Street & The Bolshevik Revolution in which Professor Sutton irrefutably documents Wall Street connections with all stages of the Russian Revolution, including funding and on-site assistance, here he follows the same Wall Street coterie of banks and related financial & shell companies as they shamelessly rigged American politics through the late 1920s in order to install a President willing to implement the socialist "New Deal", an old pet plan of various financiers, among them Bernard Baruch, and indeed nearly identical to a century-old plan by one of FDR's own ancestors, for the implementation of a socialist state in the USA to further the financial stranglehold on the world's finances. This plan was to be carried out either with or without the consent of the President, if there is any more than a grain of truth in the testimony of General Smedley Butler - testimony which has been at least partially corroborated by two independent witnesses as well as inadvertently by one of the chief suspects in this part of the scheme. That the whole scheme was dismissed as "fascist" by FDR's predecessor Herbert Hoover is also lost on the general public. Again backed up by a wealth of primary documentation, comprehensively presented and easy to read and follow, this is another essential addition to the library of true history and one that, like its predecessor Wall Street & The Bolshevik Revolution, is everything that Carroll Quigley's Tragedy & Hope was not: well referenced, concise & to the point, and impossible to refute without simply ignoring the evidence. The historical record has been set straight; the same group of monopoly capitalists who were responsible for setting up and consolidating the brutal totalitarian Communist (socialist) regime in Russia then went on to introduce another brand of socialism in the USA in order to create captive markets and perhaps more importantly to create the conditions necessary to implement later plans as part of a never-ending series of Hegelian manoeuvres with the ultimate aim of a global financial dictatorship. More of this in Wall Street & The Rise Of Hitler.
