Thanks For Dying For The Power Elite! lewrockwell.com
Excerpt from this article:
"Memorial Day commemorates soldiers killed in war. We are told that
the war dead died for us and our freedom. US Marine General Smedley
Butler challenged this view. He said that our soldiers died for the
profits of the bankers, Wall Street, Standard Oil, and the United Fruit
Company. Here is an excerpt from a speech that he gave in 1933: War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as
something that is not what it seems to the majority of 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 masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else.
If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with
America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it
gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag
follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag." (Emphasis mine)
