“WAR IS A RACKET” BY GENERAL SMEDLEY BUTLER — FOR WALL STREET AND BILLIONAIRES

“I was a racketeer for capitalism…Wall Street…Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our steel companies and our munitions makers and our ship-builders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted — to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.”

 — General Smedley Butler

“War Is a Racket” by General Smedley Butler, Round Table Press – Butler received two congressional medals of honor

IF General Butler were alive (in his words):

“War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”

“I spent 33 years in the Marines. Most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism… I helped purify Nicaragua for the lNTERNATlONAL banking house of Brown Brothers in 19O9-1912. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil Interests in 1914. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar Interests in 1916. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the NATlONAL City Bank (CitiGroup) boys to collect revenue in. I helped in the ra.pe of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street and ‘War is a racket.’”

– General Smedley Butler, former U.S. Marine COM’MANDant, `Common Sense’ in November 1935.
