Smedley Butler certainly did live in the 'war is a racket' era, having been up to his eyeballs in the banana wars.

That said.... I think there is an argument to be made that sometimes... a war is worth fighting... Because evil does not go away on its own.

I know... several of these images can be argued as part of a racket.... but you get the idea.

Who said that "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing?"

Cheers and good article, Maggot! Smedley Butler is a Marine legend. Amazing guy who really helped shape the modern Corps.

^^^ True enough, but as you say, at some level, every one of those can be traced back to economics. As Butler said the bankers, and their politicians, start wars and they are paid for with our blood.

Follow the money.

General Butler is one of the very few to be recipient of not one but 2 Medals of Honor.

The money always leads to a Rothschild and a Central Bank.

Ummmm, yeah. Hitlers rise to power was financed by the bankers and never would have happened had the Europeans not put such hars 'economics' on the Germans after the first WW. Stalin N. Kporea...what do you think communism is about? Control of the means of production = controll of the $$$. The Japanese attack was at least im part because of our control of Oil, and their needing it, once again, economics. The Islamics, including the Turks may be different, they seem mostly bat shit crazy when it comes to most anything.

Its always been about money and power. Facism, communism, religion etc. are just he catalyst. The antidote has always been survival. Thats where America usually comes in.

Yep. Its really about control/power. Money is just a means of exchange of goods. He who has control of the exchnge of goods controls the money and the power.
