Great post, I'd heard about this man in the past but never did get around to researching further. I simply added him to the list of war weary who upon speaking out against war was eventually drowned out by the industrial human mind control complex...or as I am want to refer to as mindscaping.
You've inspired me toward a post of some who also had the courage to at least speak out about how we were/are, all of us, being led down the garden path by those who would have us squander out lives in the continuous pursuit of one form of instant gratification to the next.
OK, not all of us, many are aware. Still few have any concrete ideas as to how to remedy the situation. Thank you again, I'm glad to have had the opportunity to re-position this man in my mind's eye.
Thanks @cryptologyx. Smedley Butler had an even more interesting life than that post describes.
He came forward at one point and testified before Congress that there was, for lack of a better word a "cabal" of industrialists who approached him to be a figurehead with the intent of overthrowing the Roosevelt government.
From what I understand, most of the records of those proceedings were lost in a fire.
Of course it happened...the fire I mean. Just like the jet that skimmed the ground and crashed into the Pentagon building at just the sweet spot to destroy any chance of following a trail to where 1 trillion dollars went.
Nothing is changing except they're getting less worried about being found out in their lies. Too big to jail.
