Hi Jim,

Thanks for your summary of and source materials for the
plot to remove FDR involving Prescott Bush, GH Walker,
and JP Morgan, among others.  I will try to get
the Archer book, and only maybe order the video as I find
The History Channel not a particularly compelling source,
though I would like to study their sources!  Surely, there
must be more print material than the Archer book somewhere.
(I did find a discussion of The Liberty Lobby in Gottfried's
"The Conservative Movement," there was no mention of a
secret plot to remove him from office though there is a discussion
of the ongoing conflict with the Roosevelt administration.)

On Monday, July 14, 2003, you further wrote:

"As to the nature of the "America Firsters" well I agree that the term
"isolationists" is a misnomer. As with members of the American Liberty
League (who billed themselves as defenders of the U.S. Constitution) many
were out-and-out fascists, financiers of Hitler and Mussolini from their
earliest days, hard-core imperialists with a sense of not getting the empire
overextended, and like all conservatives, paleo or otherwise, just plain
scum and/or the highly stupid, selfish, lazy, mean and uneducated."

Though I find your opinion of "all conservatives" of consuming interest, I
did ask for a source linking American Firsters such as Albert Jay Nock,
Frank Chodorov, John T. Flynn, Rose Wilder Lane, etc. to a plot to
overthrow FDR in cahoots with Bush/Walker/Morgan (men consistently
villified in their writings), and in regard to the assertion above,  I would
be
interested in knowing of any solid sourcing regarding their financial
contributions to Hitler and Mussolini you allege.

Thanks for your response,

>From your "highly stupid, selfish, lazy, mean and uneducated" correspondent,

Anne, a/k/a "scum"
