“I SPENT 33 YEARS AND 4 MONTHS IN ACTIVE MILITARY SERVICE AS A MEMBER OF THIS COUNTRYS MOST AGILE MILITARY FORCE, THE MARINE CORPS. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.” Smedley D. Butler This video is so damn good. amazing explanation from the very first war this country ever was in, to every other on throughout history. I have shared before, but please if you think you know your history and why all the war have ever existed, be brave enough to question your own pre existing beliefs. Only true courage brings you to a place to not live in such a narrow minded world that has been set up from the moment of birth spoonfed for us to believe.
