War Is a Racket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://www.ratical.org/ratville/CAH/warisaracket.pdf

"War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

...and your point is what? That Syria, Russia, NATO and the US are going to go into a huge regional war in the Middle East sinking their own economies and doing massive political and diplomatic damage inside and outside their countries so a few arms companies can improve their profit margins?

Give me a fukking break, politicians do not make decisions in the realm of international relations to benefit a handful of companies or businessman.

nato meeting being held soon syria and russia is acting cocky like they cant get touched

unfortunately, they cant. we touch them, china gon have to step in. even if china doesn't step in, the loss of american lives (not just soldiers) will be immeasurable.

That new poster said, "War IS money, it's just not shared with the people."

and you said elaborate and I posted an old pdf for you how someone (a two time Medal of Honor recipient who clearly knew about war, politics, and international relations) breaks down in detail over 75 plus years ago how war profits have been made and still are, but the blood, taxes, and inflation are borne by the general public. Which is clearly still relevant to today.

Then you went on a rant about something else. No, I don't agree any world war 3 would start over Syria, they just are finding anyway to get Assad out since its been so long. But if you don't think politicians don't do shyt to favor war profiteers, then there isn't much I can say to you. And at least read the links and decide instead of 1st posting emotionally to something you don't agree with. But if you are trying to be slick though to me, with this post or the other, first watch your fukking mouth and respond with facts not your personal opinion and two you don't know as much as you think you do about politics, international relations, or rent seeking entities.

Calm the fukk down, I thought you were trying to justify 'yeahisaidit' post, hence my reply. And no, politicians don't make decisions in international relations based on the profit margins of arms companies.

Now feel free to keep it moving instead of whining at me and acting like an emotional little bytch for no reason.

The emotional one is you bro And you're coming off ignorant as shyt right now, which is a shame because you seem like a good poster in HL. But just look at that bolded part and think about the last 11 years and see if that makes sense to you.... Like the U.S. didn't drag NATO or more specially the U.K. at the time and I'll put it in your words, "into a huge regional war in the Middle East sinking their own economies and doing massive political and diplomatic damage inside and outside their countries so a few arms companies can improve their profit margins" in 2003, any American here knows how our government did just that in Iraq (as is still playing games in Afgan) and damn near bankrupted us, so just stop it. Some Ireland guy talking tough on the net, lol. World done changed a lot boy I tell ya. You aren't even knowledgeable either.

ARMS DEALERS ARE FAR FROM THE ONLY BUSINESSES THAT CAN MAKE A KILLING DOING WAR PROFITEERING, BROTHER! LIKE GENERAL BUTLER SAID, SOMEBODY MAKES THE BOOTS, AND SOMEBODY MAKES THE LEATHER, AND SOMEBODY FARMED THE COWS, BROTHER! AND SOMEBODY INVESTED IN ALL OF THEM, DUUUUDE!

 

[Turenne]

Oh dear, you're actually one of those idiots that believes the Iraq war occurred because the US wanted to increase the profit margins of American oil companies? That's both hilarious and sad at the same time dude. No historian believes that, oil was a talking point just as much as WMD's were, and this is coming from a long term student of American history that has read everything and anything written on American IR in modern history.

Anyway get back to me when you've read a lot more books on history and international politics dude.
