War is a Racket by Smedley Butler

War is a Racket by Smedley Butler is a famous speech denouncing the military industrial complex. This speech by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient exposes war profits that benefit few at the expense of many. Throughout his distinguished career in the Marines, Smedley Darlington Butler demonstrated that true patriotism does not mean blind allegiance to government policies with which one does not agree. To Hell with war.

I'm well aware of the reality of the world we live in. I'm fairly certain you and I share the same views. Democracy is a lie.

[OGHellpsyko]

If you don't believe that the civil war AND the american revolutionary war weren't both orchestrated by the elite then you're just another parrot sheep repeating something you've heard from the mouth of a wolf in sheep's clothing.

[420Guitar420]

Every war we've been in since the Civil War was orchestrated. There is always a lie that precedes every war America has been involved in to garner public support.

To secure ownership of the Central Banks it did not own, the Talmud-Jewish devil-worshipping bankers like the Rothschilds, employ the USA governments to wage war on their behalf, murdering Khadaffi, Saddam's tand - in etc. now inciting war against Iran and North-Korea for this very goal! Because our governments consist of traitors whose only interest is their private gain!

[qjuantum]

Good analogy, :D

[kingofthepaupers]

I really like the idea of soldiers having the vote on going to war instead of fat-cat profiteers and their boot-licks in Congress. Brilliant. Sure would cut back on war!

[kingofthepaupers]

4:50 This was the war to end all wars. No one mentioned huge war profits.

Jct: Grandfather Adelard Turmel wasn't sucked into conscription to fight the war to end all wars. He was a proud WWI draft-dodger hiding out in the bush with his other draft-aged brothers until the war was over. A great Abbe who told them: "Not your fight over there, and if they come looking for you, don't kill them but make them die if they insist!" That was pretty rough draft-dodging. He became a Social Crediter.

no, they brainwash you into thinking that Smedley Butler always loved the Marine Core and the American War Machine
