131: The Plot Against Democracy
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In July 1933, two mysterious men approached one of the most decorated soldiers in American history with what initially appeared to be a simple proposal. He didn’t know it at the time, but Major General Smedley Butler, whose prominent career mirrored the rise of the American Empire, was being recruited into a sordid plan to overthrow President Franklin Roosevelt, and bring fascism to the United States. In this episode, take a deep look at the rise and expansion of Imperial America, and the time we came within a hair’s breadth of losing democracy.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/HiddnHistoryPod">Link</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Patreon: </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/hiddenhistorypod">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Shirts and more:</strong> <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/38859851">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Sources and Further Reading</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Books</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Plot to Seize the White House, by Jules Archer: <a href="https://ia802702.us.archive.org/22/items/pdfy-17F0BVXrHcyQbghI/The%20Plot%20To%20Seize%20The%20White%20House.pdf">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America’s Empire, by Jonathan Katz: <a href="https://books.google.com/books?dq=%22la%20luz%20y%20los%20angeles%20gold%20mine%22&hl=en&id=NQwqEAAAQBAJ&lpg=PT87&ots=jKQ7Jzxu3_&pg=PT87&sa=X&sig=ACfU3U1-E2WmyESLDLDmd9_fEGt0Y1u-SA&source=bl&ved=2ahUKEwjh38y4hsf6AhUwMlkFHSp-D7QQ6AF6BAgcEAM#v=onepage&q&f=false">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Maverick Marine: General Smedley D.

130: The Howard Hughes Blues
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On April 5, 1976, the richest man in the world died of medical neglect on board a jet bound for Houston. At the time of his death, Howard Hughes had not been seen in public for nearly twenty years. With a massive fortune that enabled his worsening mental disorders, Hughes, once famous the world over, receded from the public eye, and for the last decades of his life, ruled a vast and often unsuccessful business empire confined entirely to his bed. In time the expansive and opaque system that Hughes engineered to ensure his own isolation grew out of his own control, and as he sat in his penthouse, seeing only seven people in fifteen years, an army of self serving executives made decisions on his affairs entirely without his knowledge. While Hughes seemed to lose money on every transaction, he made a lot of his employees and their friends very wealthy. This story is a tragedy- the tale of a man who was both created and destroyed thanks to his proximity to great wealth, culminating in his own death in conditions so deplorable his corpse had to be identified via fingerprint by the FBI. In his 70 years, Howard Hughes can certainly be said to have left a colorful mark on American history. This is that story.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/HiddnHistoryPod">Link</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Patreon: </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/hiddenhistorypod">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Shirts and more:</strong> <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/38859851">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Sources and Further Reading</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Books</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Howard Hughes: His Life and Madness: <a href="https://books.google.com/books?id=ivZGrgLszbcC&pg=PT396&lpg=PT396&dq=#v=onepage&q&f=false">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Howard, the Amazing Mr. Hughes: <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Howard_the_Amazing_Mr_Hughes/HU1Nm1dukDgC?hl=en&gbpv=0">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Hughes: The Private Diaries, Memos and Letters: <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Hughes_The_Private_Diaries_Memons_and_Le/emhBjp6-1wwC?hl=en&gbpv=0">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia, and Palace Intrigue, Revised and Expanded: <a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Howard_Hughes/UqrSDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Websites</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Howard Hughes Lives: <a href="https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/howard-hughes-lives/">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">A Peek Into the Mind of Howard Hughes: <a href="https://lasvegassun.com/news/2015/dec/28/a-peek-into-the-mind-of-howard-hughes/">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">This Day in Aviation History, April 17, 1944: <a href="https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/17-april-1944/">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Howard Hughes Memo Disclosed In Controversy Over Gift to Nixon: <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1973/10/22/archives/howard-hughes-memo-disclosed-in-controversy-over-gift-to-nixon.html">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Secret Memos of Howard Hughes: <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/entertainment/books/1985/02/03/the-secret-memos-of-howard-hughes/33dddc6e-da6f-4367-a0ef-2281cf6ff6bb/">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Thomas Quits Post As Chief of T.W.A.; Charles S.

129: RFK Must Die
<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On June 5, 1968, Robert Kennedy was gunned down in the back room of a hotel kitchen just minutes after it seemed he had secured the 1968 Democratic nomination for President. The man changed with, and sentenced to death for, Kennedy’s murder was a 24 year old Palestinian American named Sirhan Sirhan. From the very beginning, it was clear that something was wrong with official story. In this episode, we dive deep and reexamine the evidence of the case to determine who really killed Robert Kennedy.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Twitter: </strong><a href="https://twitter.com/HiddnHistoryPod">Link</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Patreon: </strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/hiddenhistorypod">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Shirts and more:</strong> <a href="https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/38859851">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>Sources and Further Reading</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Who Killed Robert Kennedy? | Al Jazeera World: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVScM_9Tn-s&ab_channel=AlJazeeraEnglishThe Second Gun">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The Second Gun: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjOjsOKS4gs&ab_channel=e2films">Link</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">June 5, 1968: Robert F.
