"O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!
My tables -- meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain;
At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark" -- Hamlet

In 1933, a group of wealthy industrialists plotted to overthrow the government of the United States. Their plan was to raise a private army of disgruntled war veterans a half million strong to force Franklin Roosevelt to accept a "minder" into his cabinet.

On November 22, 1963 on the streets of Dallas Texas , the President of the United States was murdered in an open car by persons unknown in a successful coup d'Ã©tat. A bullet wound tore the President's scalp from just above his ear towards the back of his head. A large piece of the President's cranium was retrieved from the trunk lid of the car, yet we are told the President was killed by a lone gunman firing from behind the motorcade.

Just 69 days after being sworn in to office in 1981, an attempt was made on the life of Ronald Reagan. A lone gunman shot the President as he walked out the front door of the Washington D.C. Hilton hotel. I'll repeat; a lone gunman shot the President as he walked out the front door of the Washington D.C. Hilton hotel. Reagan and fellow shooting victim James Brady are rushed to the hospital, yet despite their limosences leaving the scene at approximately the same time, the car carrying the President, "got lost" on the way to the hospital in the driver's home town, arriving fifteen minutes later than the car containing Press Secretary James Brady. Reagan was x-rayed three times as he coughed up blood; doctors reported Reagan had almost bled to death" almost.

Secretary of State Alexander Haig had complained bitterly to Reagan's press secretary Brady that someone in the administration was undermining his communications and his relations with the President. As the Vice President was out of town at the time of the shooting, Secretary of State Haig spoke directly with George H. W. Bush by phone. The Vice President told Haig that he was in charge of the White House, until he Bush returned in a few hours. Haig chaired a meeting in the situation room ordering an immediate investigation into the shooting. Haig writes in his memoir, "that he was at first adamant that a conspiracy, if discovered, should be ruthlessly exposed: "It was essential that we get the facts and publish them quickly. Rumor must not be allowed to breed on this tragedy. Remembering the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination, I said to Woody Goldberg, "No matter what the truth is about this shooting, the American people must know it.'"

Defense Secretary Casper Weinberger reported to the group that there was a NORAD (North American Air Defense Command) exercise scheduled for the following morning simulating an incoming missile attack. Weinberger along with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff agree and cancel the exercise. At this point, James Baker told the room there was also a planned FEMA (Federal Emegency Managemnt Agency) exercise scheduled for the following day, code named "Nine Lives' which dealt with, of all things, a Presidential succession emergency. Immediately, "Nine Lives' was also cancelled by the assembled.

The President of the United States lies gravely wounded in a downtown hospital , the accused shooter sits in a jail cell after only the most rudimentary questioning. The Vice President enters the situation room after landing at Andrews Air Force Base and according to Weinberger, "At almost exactly 7:00, the Vice President came into the situation Room and very calmly assumed the chair at the head of the table. The first item which the Vice President wanted to discuss was the need for someone to sign the dairy farm support bill the next day so as to reassure the public." (more at)
