Corporate Coup in the U S Scene from the
2003 documentary, The Corporation, about an
attempted coup by industrialists
(corporations) to overthrow president
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the US Government
during the 1930's.
Major General of the Marine Corps, Smedley
Butler, was to lead the coup. Smedley, tired
of being what he felt was a gangster for
capitalism, balked and reported his findings
to Congress.
