Complete with another unsuccessful Business Plot. But this time, some of the ringleaders may be punished.
What business plot? Elon musk's attempt to play military?
The corporate plot to overturn Democracy and turn the US into a Corporate Theocracy. Their minions the Republicans almost succeeded.
What the fuck? When was this? What' sit called? Where can I read more about this?
Thanks in advance

Holy shit it's literally called the "Business Plot". Horrifying that nobody was prosecuted. I imagine proof in those days may have been letters and phone calls, but proof of either could have been hard to collect or just avoided altogether by the perpetrators.
You should definitely look into it. A lot of the proof is Smedley Butler, an extremely interesting man.
I tweeted Oliver Stone about 10 years ago, suggesting he should make a movie about Butler. No response.
I want to make a series about him. Start it off as a pure military action show, slowly make the transition over like he did. Suck people in with the action, y'know?
Sounds good.
