We're talking Bill Pelley—literal Nazi agent, Christian Theosophical crank, spiritualist, newspaperman, espionage agent, screenwriter, reborn clairvoyant, founder of a UFO cult, Soulcrafter, publisher of shitty antisemitic magazines, & founder of an American Nazi paramilitary known as the Silver Legion.

But first, we parse the failed Wall St. Putsch (aka Bizness Plot), setting the stage for our investigation of Pelley, as various industrialist backers of the scheme, conspirators, & the legislative body that uncovered it (maybe involuntarily) figure into W.D.P's story. We're talking McCormack-Dickstein Committee, predecessor to HUAC; Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler, Alfred P. Sloan, I. DuPont, JP Morgan Jr., Prescott Bush, Felix & Max Warburg, Grayson Murphy, Gerald Macguire, & a # of references to Henry Ford in this one.

We discuss: 

Marine Corps Gen. Butler & the Bonus Army; possibility the American Legion was funded w/ coups in mind; FDR cucked by Wall St.; the Putsch's origins in Executive Order 6102; Biz Plot taking inspiration from German putsches; John L. Spivak's exposé in "New Masses"—gotta give it to Spivak for his farsighted analysis of the capitalist underpinnings of rising fascism in Germany & US; coup organizer Gerry MacGuire's sus death at 36 yrs old a mere year or 2 after the plan unraveled; the Co. that had Murphy as board member; Robert Sterling Clark serving under Butler = potential complicity; Butler's undercover escapade in Standard Oil-backed int'l espionage; Butler, Clark, & Murphy's shared military campaigns (China, Boxer Rebellion, & Philippine-American War specifically); speculation about whether—contrary to the conscientious antiwar activist portrayals—Smedley was infiltrating antiwar & left mvmts in US; Butler's military career lasting exactly 33 years (👀); Delta Upsilon bro & GM head Sloan (a conspirator) purchasing German auto co. Opel for $33.3 million (👀);...

The Pelley fam's "knightly" roots in Southampton; their relative prosperity in Newfoundland; Pelley's misrepresentation of his youth as "hardscrabble"—they were petit bourgeois & upwardly mobile by Pelley's teen years; Pelley as elementary school newspaper mogul; Pelley's journalism & Hollywood career; Pelley drafted by the Methodist Centenary mvmt circa WWI to scout missions in Japan; cover for espionage work?; Pelley's early antisemitism & sus convo w/ an Army Surgeon in Japan that prefigured his Nazi turn, rhyming w/ his later NDE vision of "duck-suited" Army Dr's—the source of his racist mystic doctrine; Pelley writing anti-Bolshevik propaganda reports for the YMCA; the US consulate in Siberia enlisting his help in smuggling $750k & two Int'l Harvester workers from Siberia to Manchuria; his presence at the ceremony where Admiral Kolchak was given leadership of the White Russian Army; the eyebrow-raising possibility Pelley knew Grayson Murphy via the American Red Cross; Pelley's nurse fetish; American Legion - Silver Legion?!; Pelley working Russian jewel smuggling into his movies; another Pelley-Murphy connection; Pelley's ad agency in Hollywood & real estate investments; & finally, Pelley's incredibly sus NDE in a Cali bungalow; the dangers of self-hypnotization...
