RE: The Man That Saved America: Smedley D. Butler
I am against the idea of having a standing military in general, but if we're going to have one, I think it should be run by people like Smedley Butler.
I have wondered for a long time, if maybe Hollywood's choice of Jim Nabors, in the portrayal of Gomer Pyle USMC, may have been an attempt at making Mr. Butler, and marines in general, look stupid. If it was, they'd better be glad he's gone, because I've known some marines, and I wouldn't ever want to tangle with the most decorated one.

I hadn't even thought about Gomer Pyle...good one!
I was also thinking that Smedley Butler died of pancreatic cancer, in 1940, this is a favorite of the CIA, going back to the OSS by way of "Wild" Bill Donovan. The earliest reference I can find of military intelligence wanting to use radiation as a cancer weapon is 1943. That is not a big gap. There is also the Bush family, fascist coup and Project Paperclip, OSS/CIA connection. The CIA has, more recently used viruses as a weapon to induce cancer, again in a project directly under "Wild" Bill Donovan. This is discussed in a book called:
Dr. Mary's Monkey: How the Unsolved Murder of a Doctor, a Secret Laboratory in New Orleans and Cancer-Causing Monkey Viruses Are Linked to Lee Harvey Oswald, the JFK Assassination and Emerging Global Epidemics.
Some think that even Bill Hicks may have been assassinated this way. I'd like more evidence, but if Bill Hicks were going to die of cancer, I would have thought it would be lung cancer.
There was also a "secret' lab at Ft Detrick MD that was allegedly closed down. They were experimenting with some pretty nasty stuff there under the guise of medical science. I think that may be where the AIDS virus was created.
Also, there is a lab at Plum Island, which was mentioned in "Silence of the Lambs", aka, "Anthrax Island", where Lyme disease started, just across the water from Old Lyme, Connecticut.
I heard about Plum Island in reference to something else as well and I can't put my finger on it. Could be the Eugenics movement, but I'm not sure.
It could be in relation to the "Montauk monster", which I think may be a part of a disinformation campaign. It could be real, I don't know.
The eugenics movement is a good bet, though.
I remember reading about the Montauk Monster being some strange creature that supposedly escaped from a bizarre experimental lab that was making monsters by mixing DNA of different species. Maybe it was Plum Island and the monster swam to Montauk, or something like that.
