The Truth Regarding Defense Spending

Commented Dec 23, 2009 at 22:42:05 in Politics

“"The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted. One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation – it must conscript capital and industry and labor. Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted – to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get." General Smedley Butler War is a Racket http://www.scuttlebuttsmallchow.com/racket.htmlhtml”

“I implore one and all to read "The Creature from Jekyll Island".The "creature" is the Federal Reserve and "Jekyll Island" was the private island hideaway ,in Georgia, of JP Morgan where it was conceived in 1910 for the benefit of the large Wall Street Bankers and financiers who engineered a foolproof "Bailout System" for themselves and their investors.It was called "To Big to Fail" and it guaranteed that the US Government (read taxpayer) would pick up the losses for ill conceived investment losses incurred by these institutions and individuals.
This amazing book explains in detail how the largest banks on Wall Street engineered the American wars from the war of 1812 onward to reap enormous gains at the wittless taxpayers expense both in blood and treasure. If you read the various quotes in this book from generations ago you will immediately come to the conclusion that the same war games are being played out today for the benefit of the large banks and financiers on Wall Street and their lackey politicians who profit immensely while spinning the dolts the patriotic BS.”

“Unfortunately, Butler rallied with the Bonus Army, which was violently put down and chased out of town. His essay was a blunt and honest piece, by most people's estimation, and the fact that it came from a general, a highly decorated general, at that, did and still does have a significant statement to make. But, people can make statements all day long, and things will still go on that'll inspire people to do things like run for office themselves to take care of business and clean house and so forth, and so on, and I'm really holdlng my breath for the day that Congress legislates anything resembling hard-and-fast spending limits for our federal government. Really, I am. No, really, honest.”

“"The oath that judges take is to enforce the Constitution, not change it according to their personal background and whim." So you are saying that judges who rule against state voting laws Bush v. Gore and with their decision state that this is a one time thing never to be used again are not operating on a whim? Can't have it both ways bubba.”

“Take all that Madoff has and give it back to his investors. Make him sell everything he has until he has paid back the people who trusted him. He didn't act alone so find out who else was involved and go after them. Take what they have and pay back those who trusted him. White collar crime, make them do time!”

“From what I have been reading Sarah is not going to go back to Alaska the same person that left. http://mudflats.wordpress.com/ . Her political ethics record is no longer in tack. Blocking investigations she was once in favor of to promote her political career. The strings are attached and she is not the maverick that she used to be.”

“"Since 1997, firms that gave over 60 percent of their donations to Republicans saw their revenues increase by over 20 percent; the figure for firms that donate 60 percent or more to Democrats was slightly less than 8 percent," says the Center for Responsive Politics in a 2000 survey of campaign spending by lobbying firms and lobbyists. Does republican congress ring a bell. How about the Keating Five. I too can go on... Can you name one meaningful oversight committee the republicans had while they were in control? Regulation controls greed. Would you buy a house that was built without building codes? Go ahead say yes with a straight face.”

“The base for change must have a foundation and the foundation for change has been undermined by the "free" elections system that this " Great Democracy" we have in the U.S.. I do agree with Mr. Obama but it's not "they must think" it's "they know". www.blackboxvoting.orgg) It has been going on for years and it is getting worse. Wake up America. If you want to think about change think of a world that in the year 2000 a different president took office that is a hypothetical worth looking at, but not for too long, because h no it happened again in 2004,but wait they didn't fix it yet. And guess what people it might just happen again!!!”

“It's a fact. MSNBC has admitted their own liberal bias. The Pew Research Center found that American journalists are 5x more likely to consider themselves liberal than conservative. Do google searches for both. The writing is on the wall - get a clue.”
