The War Racket, Liberty Bonds and the Gold Confiscation of 1933

in #war • 8 years ago

In this report I discuss about the major beneficiaries of war as explained by Major General Smedley Butler. I also look at how World War One was financed and later on how the U.S. government defaulted on the war debt.

    Enjoyed the talk :)

    I remember one of his quotes!

    “I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country's 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.”
    ― Smedley D. Butler

        everything the government says is a LIE and everything they have is STOLEN! Stop using dollars "Federal Reserve Notes" and use bitcoin. The government is obsolete they just don't know it yet.
