General
Butler, the most decorated American military figure of the first half
of the 20th Century, wrote a book about his military
service titled, “War is a Racket.”
The corporate cabal, which reportedly included a du Pont and
Prescott Bush, asked him to assist in removing FDR from office in
1934, were deceived by Butler's vocal criticisms of FDR, and
unfamiliar with his belief his service to his country had actually
made him an enforcer for the corporations. Smedley was alive to the
impropriety of using America's military might to intimidate small
central and south American countries for the profit of corporations
controlled by these men.
Instead
of handling their problem for these wealthy folks Smedley reported
them to Roosevelt, who was well aware of the hazards of having the
heads of houses of banking which included Morgan as well, arrested.
FDR leaked word of the plan, which would have placed Butler in the
White House, to the press.
This
resulted in a Congressional investigation which achieved nearly as
much as the Warren Commission would thirty years later. It was four
years before the terrified men would publish their findings, marked
for, “restricted circulation.” Sadly, the General, recipient of
two Medals of Honor, died unexpectedly in 1940, just before our entry
into World War II.
Charges
conveyed by General Butler, which the committee confirmed, included
the information a million people had agreed to join the insurrection
using arms and munitions made available by a close associate of du
Pont, Remington.
Many
of those involved were still the heads of their various corporations
when charges of doing business with German corporations during World
War II surfaced. This continued to be true when departing president,
Dwight D. Eisenhower gave his speech warning Americans of the dangers
they faced during his farewell address to the nation on January 17,
1961.
Nothing
had changed when John Perkins published his book, “Confessions
of an Economic Hit Man,” in
2004. Perkins work ensured the continued flow of money from smaller
and weaker nations into the same corporate interests who schemed to
remove FDR in 1933 and who did remove JFK in 1963.
Since
then occupiers of the Oval Office have been much less likely to make
waves, understanding who is really in charge. Choosing between Jeb
and Hillary is just picking between, “chocolate or strawberry.”
They are both corporate ice cream, bad for us and America.
