Re: "War is a Racket" Major General Smedley Butler
Nice post. General Butler
I hope soldiers and military people catch on in a big way. War is a lucrative racket. Human life is currency - sick, . peaceandlove, I clicked on a google ad for Lockheed Martin a couple of days ago. You should watch this.... sooooo insane.... http://www.youtube.com/LockheedMartinVideos Lots of resources flow into the paradigm. I really like how Butler sets a few things straight. ........................ .................. |

I watched the video you posted above. It eerily represents the move toward a Robot army. The exoskeleton is just the start. |

Re: "War is a Racket" Major General Smedley Butler
My grandfather told my father to stay out of war. That it was just to make people rich. I've always been fascinated by military technology, strategy, organization, logistics, discipline, etc...but I have absolutely hated the carnage and destruction of war. When I learned about international financiers instigating wars...and financing both sides...I just about threw-up. Walking Civil War battlefields was truly sobering.
I love watching videos like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9Ze_g9y2Es http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfpJ-X3DZ8c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaNs5...eature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=slLKmtIKccs&NR=1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc-XiO4ojzk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usHuqPq7g5w I am utterly amazed at nuclear submarines...but just one of them could vaporize many countries. Military technology is out of control in my view...and that's just considering the technology which we know about. But how in the hell do you put the genie back in the bottle? This really could be the end, folks. Has human extinction occured before on Earth? Some say more than once...and that Earth has been repeatedly colonized by human beings. As with most things...I simply don't know. General Smedley Butler is a monumental hero...but is there a monument in his honor? I hadn't even heard of him until I listened to Bill Still and Alex Jones. In the past 100 years...how many people have died in war? 150 million? Is this figure correct? What's wrong with this picture? The human race needs to evolve just a little bit more. I've recently started to think of myself as a Citizen of Earth...and under the U.S. Constitution...in a non-nationalistic sense. How about a flag with a color photo of Earth from a satellite in geosynchronous orbit? I don't want to fight with, and kill, anyone...including reptilians. We should use the military technology for airshows and space-travel...and possibly to defend the solar system. Last edited by orthodoxymoron; 05-26-2009 at 05:44 PM. |

Most jointed for college... Education...
We didn't have the internet... We had typerwriters; w/carbon paper... IBM were big, at school; at home it was Royal... manual Those guys got abs of steel to make those turns. 9+ G's... G pants... Note: the posture of the F/A 18 N' F 16 drivers... Laid back instead of upright likr we were [You can pull more] Lots of school before you sit n that SEAT.... The longer your up there, sooner or later something is going to go wrong. Then, it becomes just a huge Lawn Dart... also see American birds have the controls on the arm rests. Theirs have the center stick yet... Ok... I don't want to go in the past.... That'll be a distraction.... I want to move forward... Stay focused....... Trooly, Tango |
