Like their supporters. They love sending them off to war. Cheer them if they're winning. But would rather not see them when they come back alive

UKposts censored the other comment here besides mine LOL.

Amen. I love the fact my fellow devil dog went off on the civies

I could have believed some of this, until Trump and his Qanon cultists came into power and still to this day hold sway over uneducated people who are incapable of critical thinking. It just shows me that people/organizations like QAnon have been around a long time and really only care what they can do to bring them in to power. What is interesting, is that these same people are the ones that want to hold power to make themselves richer off the backs of these people, like Fox does. It will be people like you and the current trump cultists that will bring the end to this experiment. Why, because all you can do is hate. All you can do is complain, but not one of you can provide a solution that can help solve the problem. The people who drafted this government/constitution, did it in a way that would make it difficult to run and change. Even though all claim to be believers and supporters of the Constitution fail because they fail to realized that to be successful , truly successful, in governing under this living document, is that you have to truly compromise. The far right and left, fail to realize this basic premise, and neither are true patriots, because they fail to live up the real premise behind this document. And the really most important question, how do you know this very short and edited, and clrearly biased video is true?

As usual a Bush is involved

"War is a Racket" and Thomas Paine's "Common Sense" should be in every American voter's library.

@@jonkirkwood469 Actually both Paine and Butler were both a couple of NUTS.

He got a Metal of Honor for defeating a bunch of Haitian rebels, lmao! That was nothing! The US General On Omaha Beach deserves a Metal of Honor more than wimpy Butler!

@@steveramsey7983 He was given MOH 2x for political bullshit and he knew it. If you listen to this documentary he protested his first MOH for "nothing" and was ordered to accept it and smile. So he likely did not waste his time protesting when given MOH #2. But he is the only General that I am aware of that wrote a book about the TRUTH of most Wars. I think Dwight Eisenhower is the only other military person of high rank that spoke of military industrial complex and war profiteers.

I did, and I agree. God speed to our honorable military.

Nice story. Thanks

Was he killed in combat?

@@jimjustice581 Google it. FFS make a little effort.

I tried a search (Google) and the closest I came was an obit for Medley Paul Butler of Wilmington N.C. Driver for KBR at Al Assad Iraq. No mention of service or relations. Not dissing you, it's for those wanting to know if he died in combat, etc.

Smedley not Medley. Damn Google or whatever.

_War is a Racket_, by Smedley D. Butler. It's a quick read, but it makes the point.

Also because of his Chinese drawings

It’s a dog shit rambling

He was prescient. Today we see how the big capitalist corporations have infiltrated and corrupted every aspect of democracies on every continent. They threaten the freedoms of citizens as much as any communist or totalitarian state, particularly through the mainstream media they own and the politicians they buy.

No offense -- and despite what Gen. Butler realized about the wars he fought in as a Marine -- but had he lived, I'm sure he'd have been another great American hero of World War II. Not all wars are rackets. Some -- only a very few, alas -- simply have to be fought.

Pacifists and ppl who dont play the burgeoise and rich games, indeed we need. This guy must be heard.

Servants get medals, masters get millions.

Absolutely!🦅🇺🇸👌

It’s a shame he had none of those things. He was a Soviet stooge who spread thier lies. He definitely was working with them. It’s only a question if he knew he or were they manipulating him

@@jeffslote9671 Post proof or retract.

Although it is a very loose telling of the events, the 2022 movie Amsterdam is a fictional telling of the plot, Robert Dinero plays a character based on Butler named Dillenbeck. Although the movie is fiction, it has prompted me to learn more about the true event

Definitely wasn't taught in our U.S. history class. Lol. An amazing read.

AND THE ZIONISTS DID TAKE OVER U.S.

@Gully Bull No, the Oligarchs did and still have control. None of the key players in the plot were ever prosecuted. It never went beyond a Senate investigation. Rockefeller, Jp. Morgan, etc... Familiar names that still exist today. Throw Blackrock, Vanguard, and Silicon Valley in there today. Phyzer has a felony conviction and is responsible for an untold number of deaths, and that's before their vaccine. How are they allowed to still exist as a corporation? They're responsible for all the war we fought in the 20th century, and they're trying to get us in one now. Why? The same as always, money. They don't care how much blood they spill or how much suffering they inflict. Their god is money, and that's what they serve.

I've read this book. I truly wish every American would. They would understand a lot more about the state of their country then (1930s) and now. Thanks for mentioning it.

Times were different then. History writes itself as it goes, and to Hell with the loser. I have heard, from my grandfather, though, that Elliot Ness himself patterned his approach to organized crime very much after Butler's methods. In principle. I suppose the rest you can read for yourselves. Or watch it on television. But, yeah, war is a racket. But whose racket? The Soviets'? Ours? I could faint just thinking about it! And I don't faint.

Now you know that, he exposed business corruption and sedition.

Not in history books because of being on the wrong side of politics then and now. Our president is spoiling for a war as we speak. Hes nearly there.

@@dotmurphy7279 - The Sedition thing and how everything played out was nonsense. Butler was either paid off, or brainwashed with disinformation to peddle willingly or unwittingly to the American People. Had it been a factual scenario, only three possibilities existed: 1) the Globalist Usury International Central Bankers who confiscated the Nations Gold thanks to the criminal FDR (who was completely beholden and came from a banking family) wanted to take over the Government and make it a Communist/ Fascist Regime. OR 2) Patriotic Conservative/ Libertarian Americans even back then realized that our nation had already been taken over/ hijacked/ by Communist/ Fascist Zionist International Bankers/ Corporate special Interests and were plotting a Revolution like 1776. Not Likely. Or 3) It was a Disinformation attempt at a false flag propaganda brainwashing campaign (like today) designed to trick the American People (and possibly Butler himself). It's also not at all impossible that Butler was paid off to give that public address. Whatever the case, it's clear that it was not as it seemed.

For that very reason.

never will be if our information controlling "elite" has any say about it! and they Do !

He stood against the new world order and their plans

why today ? nonsense man !

If his mom was Nancy Pelosi, he woulda been raised to fear guns, disrespect the military, and to place power over honor. We should all be grateful to General Butler’s mother!

@James Cregg Hello, how are you doing?

@@elahward01 No sand in my pockets!

Butler retired from the military in 1931.

Also raised by a Marine. When he would see any of us with our hands in our pockets he would yell ( no matter where we were ) "get your hands out of your pockets! What are you, in the Army!" I would also point out that higher decorations have always been a political decision and the levels of courage to qualify have been fluid. This is not to take away from the General's level of courage. It was of the highest variety. I would also point out that his father was a member of the Naval Affairs Comittee in the House for much of the General's career. He was overlooked somewhat in the history of the Corps because of his post career political stances.

Since Gen. Butler retired in 1931, you either have the wrong year or the wrong officer... or you were told a second-hand story by someone who was there before 1932.

That's for sure!!

What a great thing to say. Sent chills. lol Good luck, Coach.

Note how the Marine Corps praises him for his 2 Medals of Honor. Note how the Marine Corps says nothing about his book, "War is a Racket". I wonder why? -A Marine

Did you ever read "War is a Racket"? It's never been more true. I love the Marine Corps tooo and I don't like these criminal wars of agression this regime of ours has been starting all over the world since 1990. No more dead marines for $$$.

Yea, but the ones these days make me throw up in my mouth - a lot.

That fucking ega is gangster. I bet having him as your c.o. would have been one hell of a ride!! That's a person that if you had a time machine you would absolutely have to go have a beer or 10 with. SEMPER FI!!!

@Jim Burg Hello, how are you doing?

He wasn't loved by prescott bush, one of the facists wanting to overthrow FDR.

Thank you for your kind words. Semper Fi.

Interesting

So true. Some believe the recent insurrection was pretty much in line with what happened with General Butler and the 1934 attempt to oust FDR. The 1934 event, now known as the "Wall Street Putsch" or simply "The Business Plot", is something Americans would do well to read up on. I say this because it looks like we might be seeing something very similar happening again. As we saw in 1934 many of America's wealthiest people, (the tycoons, magnates and captains of industry), are on record for believing capitalism would work better under a fascist regime lead by an authoritarian stooge (sound familiar). Many people think that the new GOP is simply the old American Liberty League reincarnated.

That’s cool you have the a similar life story as my dad. Although he was a Army Combat Vet and Minus the Union stewardship. Although he did wind up marrying a Union steward coworker. My dad was always a guy who wouldn’t sit back and watch somebody get bullied by the higher ups. It did cost him though. I think he was fired twice. rehired and sent to another station.

Agree! I was a City union Steward for 19 years with the NALC.

Thank for your service Sr. Is a shame that WE don't know more about this true Patriot.

And Archibald Henderson. Ooh Rah!!

Thanks guys, I knew of Puller and Butler. Now I can look up the other two. By the way, my son is a former marine.

They won't. But you're right

@@allencollins6031 Course not, the 1% want to keep getting richer

It should really he was a hero he stopped our country from being turned into a police state

@WillBrink Hello, how are you doing?

Thank you for your kind words. Semper Fi.

Yes, definitely @willbrink. It definitely is free online, have it on my phone now. Gen. Butler was a man of few words, but direct.

I remember singing cadences about him back at the MCRD... "Give that good ol' Marine Corps spirit; 'cause it's good enough for me. It was good for Chesty Puller, it was good for Dan Daley, it was good for Smedley Butler...and it's good enough for me." Damn...that takes me back.

Wtf’s a layo?

@@robertkoth4022 And to you my friend.

Almost everywhere you look in Okinawa you see Camp Smedley Buttler

@jeffreylc I referenced three books on SDB, His biography by Mark Strecker, his autobiography Old Gimlet Eye and War is a Racket.

Being backstabbed by your boss in a political administration is a re occuring theme today much the same back then?🤔

@@mikeraffphone829 ppl who like to use their brains care

Hoover was a pos. Butler is not so cited because the machine needs no criticism, only pawns and good propaganda to keep the bloodsucking and moneysucking scheme of exporting wars going on.

Smedley Butler was a man who lived his life with integrity and honor. End of story. If you disagree, I have been informed by a Bot that the rest of my sentiments could have been construed as a possible threat to, I guess, society. I'm changing it. Let's say, now, I'm a threat to society because I learned well how to efficiently and effectively harm the very society that raised me this way. What way? Why not just genetically engineer a bunch of perfect warriors who'll expire? Oh, yeah, that's right. It's been done. Blade Runner. Give it a watch. Harrison Ford and Rutger Hauer. Who will you cry for?

He was one of those we learned about in Boot Camp, when they taught Marine Corps History.

Thanks for your kind words. Semper Fi.

I think that honor still goes to George Washington, who, incidentally, had something to say about avoiding foreign entanglements like the plague.

In his worst nightmares, though, Washington could not have conceived of the racket war has become in our time, foisted by battalions of Lapel-Pin-Patriots

Thanks for your kind words. Semper Fi.

@Mitchell Culberson Hello, how are you doing? I hope all is well with you.

So your hope is that none of his offspring head his warnings of the military's predatory and seditious racket and just enlist and make the same mistakes he did? Waste their lives, hurt people and lose people all just to keep the banks running?

Thank you for your kind words. Semper Fi.

A military officer couldn't give an order like that without the okay of the President.

@@tw5139 President Herbert Hoover ordered MacArthur to order the encamped veterans to disperse, - and while Eisenhower, then MacArthurs adjutant, followed his commander in chiefs order, MacArthur let the veterans refusal to abide by his orders, push his anger into overdrive, and HE DECIDED TO TORCH THE ENCAMPMENT ON HIS OWN! Hoover almost had him arrested, and had his superiors in DC promised to send them brigadier MacArthur as far away from DC as possible, the President saw no other choice besides court martial and execution! MacArthur was a show boat dick that most of the Army DESPISED!

Fair enough, but was Butler referring to himself as one of those 'who lived to tell about it'?
