    That’s another starting spot I don’t disagree with, there’s a lot of through lines that could be traced back even to things like the business plot or even the founding of the John Birch Society

      WILSOONNNN!!!

      Edit: The Insurrection and Sedition Act of 1913. That, and a few other key policies of The Wilson administration, led directly to The Business Plot of 1933, who idiotically chose Brigadier General Smedley Butler to lead the coup.

        And who was involved with both Nazis and the business plot?

        Prescott Bush, father of George H. W. Bush who would become head of the CIA before being vice- and then president. Grandfather of George Bush who would be president after a controversial election was handed to him by SCOTUS and would preside over the US during 9-11 and the massive stripping of rights that the Patriot act and others accomplished in the name of security.

        But I’m sure none of any of that relates.
