Since there have been alot of discussions on American fascism in the 30s involving the Business Plot which I've been in on here lately, I was wondering if anyone knew of some other possible coup situations, other than that one.

Off the top of my head, I can remember the Joint Chiefs of Staff or Lemay I think threatened JFK with one during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Kennedy felt threatened enough by the possibility to let a movie about it, 7 Days in May film at the White House and leave for Hyannis so they could get it done.

Other one was I read Nixon planned to have armed troops surround the White House and barricade himself in to stop himself from being removed from office after Watergate.

Any others?
