reading a biography of truman. i am embarrassed to admit that i have missed the historical parallel to todays billions to ukraine and the absolute corruption that took place in '40/41 during the big industrial push to gear up for ww 2. in fact,the same happened in '17/18 when wilson managed to drag us into ww 1. the abuse,corruption and greed were almost identical to today. goal,as many here believe,is also to drag us into a war that will aid our domestic enemies,enrich the MIC and further empower the elites. our current warmongers don't seem to realize that in '41 we still had a huge industrial base and were protected by the atlantic & pacific oceans. there was no way we were ever going to be invaded by japan or germany despite the related fear mongering at that time. today is very different. the oceans aren't a barrier and invasion is already underway. our industrial power is gone and unlikely to come back. the treachery,incompetence and greed are still present and greatly expanded. i still have mixed feelings about truman but he did have the countries interest at heart. the mistakes i think he made were made in an effort to help and protect america and it's people. no one is perfect or right all the time. and remember,he was not a "greatest" gen guy. he was from the generation before that when the war of northern conquest was still in living memory of many people.
there are parallels to today's disaster that are not confidence in the future inspiring.

..... i still have mixed feelings about truman but he did have the countries interest at heart....

The fuck he did. Look into the B36 and YB49 deal and you will know he was in it for himself just like all the others. Ike's speech at the end is just huge....FUCKING HUGE. It was going on in his time, before he got there. He called it out on his last day. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall when Ike and Kennedy had a few talks, I bet after bay of pigs Kennedy thought, well that old man was right. As to ole Harry, he gave us the gift of the chicoms and north koreans, hope you burn in hell harry.

Read War is a Racket,

What he said over 100 years ago is spot on. It is a very quick read, and after you finish I will bet the first thing that will come to your mind is.....the mother fuckers.

am very familiar with butler and his work. exceptional outlook,esp for a marine general at that time. very cogent thinking. like said,not a huge fan of truman but we have recently had worse. he was very much a man of his era and background. he did good work in the senate during the war. would dewey,wallace or byrnes been a better pres? maybe you know. i don't. had some tough decisions-drop the bomb,fire macarthur,intervene in korea.
think he got those as right as anyone could. was huge for the UN and support for new deal policies-big mistakes. all of our presidents have been often in serious error. the difference now is that we are having ones that are trying and have tried to destroy the country & supported by the current sociopathic elites and retarded electorate.

I could read the book(s) but can you give me the ending? Are we well and truly fubar'd?

Our leaders don't make their own decisions. Not now, and not in 1945. if the world is a stage, they are the highly paid actors.

we have been since 1913 or even before.

I think Dick Nixon was as much as responsible for the 'Chinese Problem' as anyone. They were jsut dirty commies until he went there and opened trade with them. And trade responded. Been to wally world lately?

Pisses me off. I go and buy some little piece of shit get it home and "Goddamn it, another Made in China".

And yeah, to have been a fly on the wall to listen to Ike and JFK. Trouble is, Ike was a true gentleman, one of the last of his kind.I had one of these when I was young.

Remember what Ike said; beware of the military industrial complex. Can't even imagine the money poured into it.

Where I lived there was an old couple with a perfect and I do mean perfect 1960's station wagon. It had a kennedy/johnson bumper sticker that looked like it was put on there yesterday. Never knew them but saw that car often. This thing was showroom clean.

I would say Wilson was the turning point....or tipping point.

TR why did you say you would not run again, you could have stopped a great deal of mess.

 

[DeathBeforeDismount]

Dont forget FDR and the majority of his cabinet were socialists/closet communists.

Being able to fuck the American taxpayer while simotaniously supporting communist scum is what you call a toofer.
