Plot Without Plotters, Dec. 3, 1934
This article is from Time Magazine's archives. I picked it to demonstrate that news does not expire, and at best it is too easily forgotten. In 1934, a highly decorate Marine General claimed before a Congress that he'd been approached to lead a 500,000 man force in a march on the White House to unseat then President Roosevelt.
Although the Time article seeded here is derogatory, it is important to remember that Time's ownership, Henry Luce and Briton Hadden, had received financial backing from the likes of JP Morgan, one of those implicated in the plot. Then, as today, money influences media, although it is up to the reader how much this might be the case.
On a personal note, it is ironic to read an article from Time Magazine that uses the same methods of subtle, mocking insinuation that have appeared in various forms of propaganda throughout the 20th Century.
