BANKRUPT! AMERICA HAS BEEN BANKRUPT SINCE 1933

AMERICA HAS BEEN, FOR ALL INTENT AND PURPOSE, BANKRUPT SINCE 1933!
THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND (IMF) MADE THE SAME PRONOUNCEMENT IN JULY, 2010!

Where's the proof?

Tucked away here and there, like in the Emergency Banking Act, March 9, 1933, 48 Stat.1, Public Law 89-179
H.J.R. 192, 73rd congress m session June 5, 1933 which suspended the gold standard and abrogated the gold clause.

The United States went "Bankrupt" in 1933 and was declared so by President Roosevelt who signed Executive Orders 6073, 6102, 6111 and Executive Order 6260, [See: Senate Report 93-549, pgs. 187 & 594 under the "Trading With The Enemy Act" [Sixty-Fifth Congress, Sess. I, Chs. 105, 106, October 6, 1917], and as codified at 12 U .S.C.A. 95a.  The several States of the Union then pledged the faith and credit thereof to the aid of the National Government, and formed numerous socialist committees, such as the "Council Of State Governments," "Social Security Administration" etc., to purportedly deal with the economic "Emergency." These Organizations operated under the "Declaration Of INTERdependence" of January 22, 1933, and published some of their activities in "The Book Of The States."  The 1937 Edition of The Book Of The States openly declared that the people engaged in such activities as the Farming/Husbandry Industry had been reduced to mere feudal "Tenants" on their Land. [Book Of The States, 1937, pg. 155]  This of course was compounded by such activities as price fixing wheat and grains [7 U.S.C.A. 1903], quota regulation I7 U.S.C.A. 1371], and livestock products [7 U.S.C.A. 1903], which have been held consistently below the costs of production; interest on loans and inflation of the paper "Bills of Credit"; leaving the food producers and others in a state of peonage and involuntary servitude, constituting the taking of private property, for the benefit and use of others, without just compensation.

Well, citizens, we have since then been in a permanent state of "Emergency", and the above was clearly instituted, formed and erected within the Union through gross usurpations, abridgments, malfeasance and breach of legal duties, and the continual contrivance, misrepresentation, conversion, fluctuations, fraud and avarice of the International Financial Institutions, Organizations, Corporations and Associations, including the Federal Reserve, their "fiscal and depository agent" 22 U.S.C.A. 286d. This profligate practice has led to such "Emergency" legislation as the "Public Debt Limit-Balance Budget And Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985", Public Law 99-177, etc.

EVERY President's team has helped to continue and/or enlarge this "Emergency"!

At the signing of the Coinage Act on July 23, 1965, Lyndon B. Johnson stated in his Press Release that:

    "When I have signed this bill before me, we will have made the first fundamental change in our coinage in 173 years.  The Coinage Act of 1965 supersedes the Act of 1792.  And that Act had the title: An Act Establishing a Mint and Regulating the Coinage of the United States ..."

    "Now I will sign this bill to make the first change in our coinage system since the 18th Century.  To those members of Congress, who are here on this historic occasion, I want to assure you that in making this change from the 18th Century we have no idea of returning to it."

The System has been faltering for eight decades, but maybe we can put a bench mark date of the actual modern-day collapse at August 15, 1971.  On this day, President Nixon reversed U.S. international monetary policy by officially declaring the non-convertibility of the U.S. dollar [F.R.N.] into gold." [See: Public Law 94-564,  Legislative History, pg. 5937 & Senate Report No. 93-549, Foreword, pg. III.  Proclamation No. 4074, pg. 597,  31 U.S.C.A. 314 & 31 U.S.C. A. 5112]

Re-booted by the 1980 Congress and Jimmy Carter, the Capitol Hill Gang passed, among other things, Public Law 96-221, 'providing for the furtherance and expansion of the profligate rehypothecated debt pyramid scheme, and reducing the reserve requirements on "transaction accounts" to a minimum of 3% per centum to a maximum of 14 per centum (See: Depository Institutions Deregulation And Monetary Control Act of 1980, Section 103(b) (E)(2)).

    "In the United States neither paper currency nor deposits have value as commodities. Intrinsically, a dollar bill is just a piece of paper. Deposits are merely book entries. Coins do have some intrinsic value as metal, but generally far less than their face amount...."

[Please Note:  The Council Of State Governments has now been absorbed into such things as the "National Conference Of Commissioners On Uniform State Laws," whose Headquarter's Office is located at 676 North Street, Clair Street, Suite 1700, Chicago, Illinois 60611, and "all" being "members of the Bar," and operating under a different "Constitution And By-Laws" has promulgated, lobbied for, passed, adjudicated and ordered the implementation and execution of their purported statutory provisions, to "help implement international treaties of the United States or where world uniformity would be desirable."  [See: 1990/91 Reference Book, National Council Of Commissioners On Uniform State Laws, pg. 2]  This is apparently what Robert Dork meant when he wrote "we are governed not by law or elected representatives but by an unelected, unrepresentative, unaccountable committee of lawyers applying no will but their own."  See: The Tempting Of America. Robert H. Bork. pg. 130]

The United States, as Corporator, [22 U.S.C.A. 286e, et seq.] and "State" [C. (Colorado) R.S. 24-36-104, C.R. S. 24-60-1301(h)] had declared "Insolvency."  [See: 26 I.R.C. 165(g)(1), U.C.C. 1-201(23), C.R.S. 39-22-103.5, Westfall vs, Braley, 10 Ohio 188, 75 Am. Dec. 509, Adams vs. Richardson, 337 S.W.2d 911 Ward vs. Smith, 7 Wall 447]  A permanent state of "Emergency" was instituted, formed and erected within the Union through the contrivances, fraud, and avarice of the International Financial Institutions, Organizations, Corporations and Associations, including the Federal Reserve, their "fiscal and depository agent." [22 U.S.C.A. 286d]  This has lead to such "Emergency" legislation is the "Public Debt Limit- Balance Budget And Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985," Public Law 99-177, etc.

    The government, by becoming a corporator, [See: 22 U.S.C.A. 286(e)] lays down its sovereignty and takes on that of a private citizen.  It can exercise no power which is not derived form the corporate charter.  [See: The Bank of the United States vs. Planters Bank of Georgia, 6 L.Ed. (9 Wheat) 244, U.S. vs. Burr, 309 U.S. 242]  The real party of interest is not the de jure "United States of America" or "State," but "The Bank" and 'The Fund."  [22 U.S.C.A. 286, et seq., C. (Colordo) R.S. 11-60- 103]  The acts committed under fraud, force, and seizures are many times done under "Letters of Marque and Reprisal" i.e. "recapture."  [See: 31 U.S.C.A. 5323]  Such principles as "Fraud and Justice never dwell together"  [Wingate's Maxims 680], and "A right of action cannot arise out of fraud."  [Broom's Maxims 297, 729; Cowper's Reports 343; 5 Scott's New Reports 558; 10 Mass. 276; 38 Fed. 800,]  And do not rightfully contemplate the thought concept, as "Due Process," "Just Compensation" and Justice itself.  Honor is earned by honesty and integrity, not under false and fraudulent pretenses, nor will the color of the cloth one wears cover-up the usurpations, lies, trickery, and deceits.  When Black is fraudulently declared to be White, not all will live in darkness.  As astutely observed by Will Rogers, "there are men running governments who shouldn't be allowed to play with matches," and is as applicable today as then.

    The contrived "emergency" has created numerous abuses and usurpations, and abridgments of delegated Powers and Authority.  As stated in Senate Report 93-549:

    "These proclamations give force to 470 provisions of Federal law. 470!!!
These hundreds of statutes delegate to the President extraordinary powers, ordinarily exercised by the Congress, which affect the lives of American citizens in a host of all-encompassing manners.  This vast range of powers, taken together, confer enough authority to rule the country without reference to normal constitutional process.

    "Under the powers delegated by these statutes, the President may; seize property; organize and control the means of production; seize commodities; assign military forces abroad; institute martial law; seize and control all transportation and communication; regulate the operation of private enterprise; restrict travel; and in a plethora of particular ways, control the lives of all American citizens."

George H. W. Bush's public address of September 11, 1991 [See: Weekly Compilation Of Presidential Documents] should further qualify what is being said here.  He admitted "Interdependence" [See also: Public Law 94-564, Legislative History, pg. 5950], "One World Order" [See also: Extension Of Remarks, January 19, 1976, Marjorie S. Holt, 8 U.S.C.A. 1101(40)], affiliation and collusion with the Soviet Union Oligarchy [50 U.S.C.A. 781], direction by the U.N., 22 U.S.C.A. 611, etc...

You might also find it interesting that Treasury Delegation Order No. 92 states that the I.R.S. is trained under direction of the Division of "Human Resources" (U.N.) and the Commissioner (INTERNATI0NAL), by the "Office Of Personnel Management."  In the 1979 Edition of 22 U.S.C.A. 287, the United Nations, at pg. 248, you will find Executive Order No. 10422.  The Office of Personnel Management is under direction of the Secretary General of the United Nations.  And as stated previously, the I.R.S. is also a member in a one hundred fifty (150) Nation pact called the "International Criminal Police Organization'" found at [22 U.S.C.A. 263a].  The "Memorandum & Agreement" between the Secretary of Treasury/Corporate Governor of "The Fund" and "The Bank" and the Office of the U.S. Attorney General would indicate that the Attorney General and his associate are soliciting and collecting information for Foreign Principals.  [See also, The United States Government Manual 1990/91, pg. 385, also see, The Ron Paul Money Book, supra, pgs. 250, 251]

    It is worthy of note that each and every Attorney/Representative, Judge or Officer is required to file a "Foreign Agents Registration Statement" pursuant to [22 U.S.C.A. 611(c)(I)(iv) & 612], if representing the interests of a Foreign Principal or Power.  [See: 22 U.S.C.A. 613, Rabinowitz vs. Kennedy, 376 U.S. 605, 11 L.Ed.2d 940, 18 U.S.C.A. 219 & 951]

The below is taken from
RE:SENATE REPORT NO. 93-549, Etc.
by John Nelson

<<On January 17, 1980, the President and Senate confirmed another "Constitution," namely, the "Constitution Of The United Nations Industrial Development Organization," found at Senate, Treaty Document No. 97-19, 97th Congress, 1st Session.  A perusal of this Foreign Constitution should more than qualify the internationalist intents.  The "Preamble," Article 1, "Objectives," and Article 2, "Functions," clearly evidences their intent to direct, control, finance and subsidize all "natural and human resources" and "agro-related as well as basic industries," through "dynamic social and economic changes" "with a view to assisting in the establishment of a new international economic order."  
The high flown rhetoric is obviously of "Communist-thinking" origin and intents.  An unelected, unrepresentative, unaccountable oligarchy of expatriates and aliens, who fraudulently claim, in the Preamble, that they intend to establish "rational and equitable international economic relations," yet openly declared that they no longer "stabilize the value of the dollar" nor "assure the value of the coin and currency of the United States" is purely misrepresentation, deceit and fraud.  [See: Public Law 95-147, 91 Stat. 1227, at pg. 1229]  This was augmented by [Public Law 101-167], 103 Stat. 1195, which discloses massive appropriations of rehypothecated debt for the general welfare and common defense of other Foreign Powers, including "Communist" countries or satellites, International control of natural and human resources, etc. etc..  A "Resource" is a claim of "property" "and when related to people constitutes 'slavery'."

    It is now necessary to ask, "Which Constitution they are operating under?
Apparently the present operation of the "de facto" government is under Foreign/Alien Constitutions, Laws, Rules, and Regulations.  The overthrow of the "essential engine" declared in and by the ordained and established Constitution for the United States of America (1787), and by and under the "Bill of Rights" (1791) is obvious.  The covert procedure used to implement and enforce these Foreign Constitutions, Laws, Procedures, Rules, Regulations, etc., has not, to my knowledge, been collected and assimilated nor presented as evidence to establish seditious collusion and conspiracy.

They have "fundamentally" changed the form and substance of the de jure Republican form of Government, exhibited a willful and wanton disregard for the Rights, Safety, and Property of others, evinced a despotic design to reduce my people to slavery, peonage and involuntary servitude, under a fraudulent, tyrannical, seditious foreign oligarchy, with intent and purpose to institute, erect and form a "Dictatorship" over the Citizens and our Posterity.  They have completely debauched the de jure monetary system, destroyed the Livelihood and Lives of thousands, aided and abetted our enemies, declared War upon us and our Posterity, destroyed untold families.

 [[OUR OWN CONGRESSMEN AND PRESIDENTS, ALL MEMBERS OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE, TREASURY AGENTS, ALL]] have taken false Oaths, entered into Seditious Foreign Constitutions, Agreements, Pacts, Confederations, and Alliances, and under pretense of "emergency," which they themselves created, promoted and furthered, formed a multitude of offices and retained those of alien allegiance to perpetuate their frauds and to eat out the substance of the good and productive people of our Land, and have arbitrarily dismissed and held mock trials for those who trespassed upon our lives, Liberties, Properties, and Families and endangered our Peace, Safety, Welfare, and Dignity.  The damage, injury and costs have been higher than mere money can repay.  They have done that which they were COMMANDED NOT TO DO.  The time for just correction is NOW!

Sincere consideration of "Presentment" to a Grand Jury under the ordained and established Constitution for the United States of America (1787), Amendment V is in order.  Numerous High Crimes and Misdemeanors have been committed under the Constitution for the United States of America, and Laws made in Pursuance thereof, and under the Constitution for the States, and the laws made in Pursuance thereof, and against the Peace and Dignity of the People including, but not limited to, C. (Colorado) R.S. 18-11-203 which defines and prescribes punishment for "Seditious Associations" which is applicable to the other constitutions, and the intents and professed purposes of their Organizations, Corporations and Associations.  If the Presentment should be obstructed by the members of the Bar, ARREST THEM.>> <end Nelson quote>

Laurence Kotlikoff , in an article in Bloomberg, August 10, 2010, wrote:    <<Let’s get real. The U.S. is bankrupt. Neither spending more nor taxing less will help the country pay its bills.
Last month, the International Monetary Fund released its annual review of U.S. economic policy. Its summary contained these bland words about U.S. fiscal policy: “Directors welcomed the authorities’ commitment to fiscal stabilization, but noted that a larger than budgeted adjustment would be required to stabilize debt-to-GDP.”
But delve deeper, and you will find that the IMF has effectively pronounced the U.S. bankrupt. Section 6 of the July 2010 Selected Issues Paper says: “The U.S. fiscal gap associated with today’s federal fiscal policy is huge for plausible discount rates.” It adds that “closing the fiscal gap requires a permanent annual fiscal adjustment equal to about 14 percent of U.S. GDP.”
The fiscal gap is the value today (the present value) of the difference between projected spending (including servicing official debt) and projected revenue in all future years.
My reaction? Get real, or go hang out with equally deluded supply-siders. Our country is broke and can no longer afford no- pain, all-gain “solutions.” [http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-08-11/u-s-is-bankrupt-and-we-don-t-even-know-commentary-by-laurence-kotlikoff.html ]

United States Congressional Record - March 17, 1993 - Vol. #33, page H-1303 - Speaker- Rep. James Traficant, Jr. (Ohio) addressing the House:
"Mr. Speaker, we are here now in chapter 11. Members of Congress are official trustees presiding over the greatest reorganization of any Bankrupt entity in world history, the U.S. Government. We are setting forth hopefully, a blueprint for our future. There are some who say it is a coroner's report that will lead to our demise."

John F. Kennedy issued Executive Order 11110, requiring the Treasury Department to start printing and issuing silver certificates for the silver then remaining in the US Treasury. Kennedy understood, as did Lincoln, that by returning to the constitution, which states that only Congress shall coin and regulate money, the soaring national debt could be reduced by not paying interest to the bankers of the Federal Reserve System, who print paper money then loan it to the government at interest. This was the reason he signed Executive Order 11110 which called for the issuance of $4,292,893,815 in United States Notes through the U.S. Treasury rather than the Federal Reserve System.
That same day, Kennedy signed a bill changing the backing of one and two dollar bills from silver to gold, adding strength to the weakened U.S. currency.

Kennedy's comptroller of the currency, James J. Saxon, had been at odds with the powerful Federal Reserve Board for some time, encouraging broader investment and lending powers for banks that were not part of the Federal Reserve system. Saxon also had decided that non-Reserve banks could underwrite state and local general obligation bonds, again weakening the dominant Federal Reserve banks".

Kennedy's E.O. was never implemented following his assassination, and shortly afterwards, United States silver coins were taken out of circulation and replaced with the copper clad slugs in use today. These two events, the failure to print new silver certificates, and the substitution of worthless slugs for our silver coins, may explain why the Warren Commission included on its panel John J. McCloy, a man with no experience in crime, law enforcement, or national security, but who had been the President of the Chase Manhattan Bank.

It should be noted that the banks themselves are still using the gold standard. Accounts are still settled between major national banks by the transfer of gold bullion.

So here we are with a bank that legally counterfeits the money you borrow but expects a full value (plus interest) repayment. But what's good for the Federal Reserve is good for the government itself, and this is where we get back into that funny word "deficit spending". The government spends more money than it takes in. It has for many years now. The Federal Reserve, being the only lawful source of this fiat money, prints up the excess cash the government needs (or manufactures a credit line in a computer). This extra cash is treated as a loan, in order to keep the government overspending from further eroding the worth of the dollar in the world market. The government (meaning the taxpayers) is on the hook for the full face value, plus interest.

But there's another problem. The government is borrowing so much money that it drives the interest rates up! You pay MORE interest on your mortgage, car loan, and credit cards, because the government cannot balance its books. That extra interest you pay is therefore another hidden tax. The government, in its "generosity", gives you a tax credit on mortgage interest that is higher because of their own borrowing!

During the 80s, as exports dropped, and jobs moved from manufacturing to lower paying "service sector" jobs, the US tax base declined. In order to keep the jobless rate from rising, a massive defense program called the Strategic Defense Initiative was cranked up, but since this program produced no exportable product, it produced no taxable sales revenues, and hence the money poured into the project accelerated the government decline into debt. Because manufacturing was on the decline, fewer start-up companies were approaching the lending institutions, so the government loosened up the rules (while increasing the insurable deposit limit) to allow "investments" in more high risk ventures, most of which turned out to be frauds, or worse, money laundering operations for drug criminals. This includes Whitewater, Flowerwood, and Castle Grande. Despite shifting the S&L loss primarily onto the taxpayers (to reassure foreign investors that the taxpayers still made America a safe place to park their surplus cash) the government plunged further into debt.

In the 12 years of the Reagan/Bush(I) administrations, the United States went from being the world's largest creditor nation to the world's largest debtor.
IT HAS BEEN A DOWNHILL PLUNGE FROM THERE OF ENORMOUS PROPORTIONS!
THERE IS NO GOING BACK!
AMERICA IS BANKRUPT!
RON PAUL AND COUNTLESS OTHERS SAID SO ON THE FLOOR OF CONGRESS.
AMERICA IS BANKRUPT, BUT NO ONE AT THE HELM HAS HAD THE BRASS TO POINT TO THE FACTS AND CHANGE ONE BLOODY THING!

MAYBE THEY DON'T WANT TO WIND UP LIKE JFK????

THERE IS NO TURNING IT AROUND!
ALL WE CAN DO NOW IS WAIT FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO DROP, TO TELL US WE ARE IN THE HANDS OF AN INTERNATIONAL BANKING CARTEL THAT WILL NOW CLOSE THE DOORS OF THIS NATION'S ECONOMY.

"Nos morituri te salutamus"

BAN ON MURDER!

THERE IS A BAN ON MURDER, PEOPLE OF AMERICA!
There has been a ban on murder since before the first page of American history was written!
HOW IS THAT WORKING OUT?
There is a LAW that says, "DO NOT COMMIT MURDER!"
Who obeys that LAW?
NOT CRIMINALS INTENT ON MURDER!

MURDER IS ILLEGAL!
IT IS NOT LEGAL TO KILL ANOTHER HUMAN BEING WITHOUT "JUST CAUSE", LIKE IN SELF-DEFENSE, WHEN YOU ARE AFRAID FOR YOUR LIFE!
Yet, especially in places where the citizens have been disarmed, in the places in America where they have "tough gun laws", in the very places where the state or local government has seen fit to "make the streets safer" by making gun ownership a virtual crime, guess what?
GUN CRIMES INCREASED!
MURDERS INCREASED!

MURDER IS BANNED, PEOPLE!
WE HAVE LONG HAD A BAN ON MURDER!
Since murder is OUTLAWED, since murder is a no-no, WHY, OH, WHY do you suppose we STILL HAVE MURDERS?

We DO still see murders committed every day, but that's NOT LEGAL!
MURDER IS BANNED!

In the United States, we have "declared war" on CRIME, on POVERTY, on DRUGS, on CANCER, on damn near everything at one time or another, but we haven't won a single one of those "wars"!
Now, people like Feinstein, the hypocrite who had/has(?) a concealed carry permit, who admitted on the floor of Congress that she was "well-trained in gun use", that, when HER family was attacked SHE wanted to be WELL-ARMED, are saying we must "wage war on assault weapons", and have EXPANDED that "assault weapons" phrase to include shotguns and handguns, several types of ammunition, where and how we can buy ammunition, certain gun clips/magazines, and we just don't know where this new "WAR" will end, do we?
But we do know this:
THE WAR ON CRIME FAILED, THE WAR ON POVERTY WAS LOST, THE WAR ON DRUGS FAILED, AS HAS ANY WAR CONGRESS OR POLITICAL GROUPS HAVE "DECLARED" IN THE PAST 50 YEARS!

Let's think about that...
Crime/criminals were not scared-off by the war on crime, the poor are still poor and getting poorer by the minute, more poor join their ranks every month, drugs are actually a source of income for the U.S. Government, which is why our troops guard Afghan poppy fields today and why things like "Fast & Furious" happen. THE U.S. TRADES IN ARMS, ILLEGALLY, ALL OVER THE WORLD!
REMEMBER THE IRAN/CONTRA DEALS? THOSE WERE SMALL COMPARED TO WHAT WE REALLY DO!
WE ARM THE WORST CRIMINALS ON THIS PLANET!

Drugs are flown out of the nations to our south by DEA agents, by FEDERAL employees EVERY DAY, citizens! Drugs help keep America afloat financially! We are complicit in the drug trade! EX-"AGENTS" HAVE TESTIFIED TO THAT FOR OVER 40 YEARS!
AMERICA DEALS IN DRUGS!

POVERTY? If we didn't have the poor, WHO WOULD WE BLAME FOR THINGS BEING SO BAD FINANCIALLY?
BUT AMERICA CREATED THE POOR! The poor gives the Republican party their ammunition to scream about "entitlements", although their fat-cat friends get a LOT of entitlements, tax breaks, incentives, deferments that would make you cry if you took the time to LOOK THAT UP!
WE GAVE WALL STREET BANKERS OVER $7 TRILLION DOLLARS IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS BACK IN THE BUSH2 REIGN! YES, TRILLIONS!
HOW'S THAT FOR "ENTITLEMENTS"?
So, no, no, there are NO plans to win the "war" on poverty! That would mean the "upper class", the top 2% would have NO ONE TO BLAME!
And the Democratic party would have no one to woo.
After all, FDR created the WELFARE STATE, and drove that wedge into the heart of America!

War on CANCER? HA HA HA! CANCER IS A HUGE MONEY-MAKING DEAL!
THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES WOULD KILL ANYONE WHO DARED FIND A CURE FOR CANCER! THE MEDICAL COMMUNITY WOULD GO BELLY-UP WITHOUT "TREATING" CANCER!

SO WHAT WILL THIS NEW "WAR" ON GUNS MEAN?
FAILURE, FAILURE, FAILURE!
ANOTHER "WAR" TO INTENTIONALLY LOSE?
ANOTHER WAR THAT WILL FATTEN THE COFFERS OF THE CRIMINALS WHO CAN ALWAYS FIND GUNS TO SELL TO OTHER CRIMINALS?
WHY NOT?
THIS IS AMERICA, INC, AFTER ALL!
THERE IS PROFIT IN WAR, ANY WAR, ALL WAR, BUT NOT FOR J.Q. CITIZEN, NOT FOR YOU, NOT FOR ME!

THERE IS A BAN ON MURDER!
THAT HASN'T CHANGED A THING!
A BAN ON GUNS WON'T MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS, ONLY FOR THE CRIMINALS, AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS THEIR KING!

'WAR IS A RACKET'~ Maj. Gen. S. Butler USMC

War Is A Racket        

A speech based on writing in1933, by Major General Smedley Darlington Butler, USMC, who later wrote a book by the same title..
PLEASE NOTE: The actor delivering this speech is certainly NOT Butler, but uses his words.


At the time of his death in 1940, Butler was the most decorated Marine in U.S. history. During his 34-year career as a Marine, he participated in military actions in the Philippines, China,  Central America and the Caribbean during the Banana Wars, and France in World War I. By the end of his career, he had received 16 medals, five for heroism. He is one of 19 men to twice receive the Medal of Honor, one of three to be awarded both the Marine Corps Brevet Medal and the Medal of Honor, and the ONLY marine to be awarded the Brevet Medal and two Medals of Honor, all for separate actions.  

Now, you may want to dismiss this man as a "conspiracy theorist", but he has been exonerated of that long ago!
He is not the ONLY military figure who has tried to warn us! MANY have recently tried, and each has fallen from "grace", "re-assigned", forced into "early retirement", or SCANDALIZED, after decades of honorable service to this nation!
PRESIDENTS have tried to warn us as I wrote and showed in their own words in another blog.  
Senators, many other people in HIGH office have tried and tried and tried!  
Our FOUNDERS tried to warn the people back in the late 1700s, and from then until now, the ones who know best how to control public opinion have done just that!
They have demonized, shamed, ridiculed EVERY man or woman who has tried to warn us! 

The people who control our media have learned well how to sway us in how we think, what we see as truth!
WHY THE SUDDEN PUSH TO CONTROL THIS INTERNET?
BECAUSE WITH THIS TOOL AT OUR DISPOSAL, WE HAVE EASY ACCESS TO EACH OTHER, TO EACH OTHER! IN MILLISECONDS WE CAN TRANSMIT OUR PRIVATE THOUGHTS AND WHAT WE SEE WITH OUR OWN EYES TO EACH OTHER! 
WE CAN INFORM ONE ANOTHER!

WE CAN SPREAD THE FACTS THAT HAVE SO LONG BEEN HIDDEN, THE TRUTH OF WHAT WE KNOW, WHAT WE WITNESS!

From the past, Butler's warning, his attempt to give us the facts he knew to be TRUE, to tell us what we can do to stop this: 
<begin quote> 


<<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.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few – the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.

Again they are choosing sides. France and Russia met and agreed to stand side by side. Italy and Austria hurried to make a similar agreement. Poland and Germany cast sheep's eyes at each other, forgetting for the nonce [one unique occasion], their dispute over the Polish Corridor.

The assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia [Yugoslavia] complicated matters. Jugoslavia and Hungary, long bitter enemies, were almost at each other's throats. Italy was ready to jump in. But France was waiting. So was Czechoslovakia. All of them are looking ahead to war. Not the people – not those who fight and pay and die – only those who foment wars and remain safely at home to profit.

There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making.

Hell's bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?

Not in Italy, to be sure. Premier Mussolini knows what they are being trained for. He, at least, is frank enough to speak out. Only the other day, Il Duce in "International Conciliation," the publication of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said:

"And above all, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace... War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it."

Undoubtedly Mussolini means exactly what he says. His well-trained army, his great fleet of planes, and even his navy are ready for war – anxious for it, apparently. His recent stand at the side of Hungary in the latter's dispute with Jugoslavia showed that. And the hurried mobilization of his troops on the Austrian border after the assassination of Dollfuss showed it too. There are others in Europe too whose sabre rattling presages war, sooner or later.

Herr Hitler, with his rearming Germany and his constant demands for more and more arms, is an equal if not greater menace to peace. France only recently increased the term of military service for its youth from a year to eighteen months.

Yes, all over, nations are camping in their arms. The mad dogs of Europe are on the loose. In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the "open door" policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.

Then, to save that China trade of about $90,000,000, or to protect these private investments of less than $200,000,000 in the Philippines, we would be all stirred up to hate Japan and go to war – a war that might well cost us tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives of Americans, and many more hundreds of thousands of physically maimed and mentally unbalanced men.

Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit – fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.

Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.

But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?

What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?

Yes, and what does it profit the nation?

Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about "entangling alliances." We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.

It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people – who do not profit. 

CHAPTER TWO

WHO MAKES THE PROFITS?

The World War, rather our brief participation in it, has cost the United States some $52,000,000,000. Figure it out. That means $400 to every American man, woman, and child. And we haven't paid the debt yet. We are paying it, our children will pay it, and our children's children probably still will be paying the cost of that war.

The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits – ah! that is another matter – twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent – the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let's get it.

Of course, it isn't put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and "we must all put our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket – and are safely pocketed. Let's just take a few examples:

Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people – didn't one of them testify before a Senate committee recently that their powder won the war? Or saved the world for democracy? Or something? How did they do in the war? They were a patriotic corporation. Well, the average earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6,000,000 a year. It wasn't much, but the du Ponts managed to get along on it. Now let's look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. Fifty-eight million dollars a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950 per cent.

Take one of our little steel companies that patriotically shunted aside the making of rails and girders and bridges to manufacture war materials. Well, their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6,000,000. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump – or did they let Uncle Sam in for a bargain? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49,000,000 a year!

Or, let's take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105,000,000 a year. Not bad. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240,000,000. Not bad.

There you have some of the steel and powder earnings. Let's look at something else. A little copper, perhaps. That always does well in war times.

Anaconda, for instance. Average yearly earnings during the pre-war years 1910-1914 of $10,000,000. During the war years 1914-1918 profits leaped to $34,000,000 per year.

Or Utah Copper. Average of $5,000,000 per year during the 1910-1914 period. Jumped to an average of $21,000,000 yearly profits for the war period.

Let's group these five, with three smaller companies. The total yearly average profits of the pre-war period 1910-1914 were $137,480,000. Then along came the war. The average yearly profits for this group skyrocketed to $408,300,000.

A little increase in profits of approximately 200 per cent.

Does war pay? It paid them. But they aren't the only ones. There are still others. Let's take leather.

For the three-year period before the war the total profits of Central Leather Company were $3,500,000. That was approximately $1,167,000 a year. Well, in 1916 Central Leather returned a profit of $15,000,000, a small increase of 1,100 per cent. That's all. The General Chemical Company averaged a profit for the three years before the war of a little over $800,000 a year. Came the war, and the profits jumped to $12,000,000. a leap of 1,400 per cent.

International Nickel Company – and you can't have a war without nickel – showed an increase in profits from a mere average of $4,000,000 a year to $73,000,000 yearly. Not bad? An increase of more than 1,700 per cent.

American Sugar Refining Company averaged $2,000,000 a year for the three years before the war. In 1916 a profit of $6,000,000 was recorded.

Listen to Senate Document No. 259. The Sixty-Fifth Congress, reporting on corporate earnings and government revenues. Considering the profits of 122 meat packers, 153 cotton manufacturers, 299 garment makers, 49 steel plants, and 340 coal producers during the war. Profits under 25 per cent were exceptional. For instance the coal companies made between 100 per cent and 7,856 per cent on their capital stock during the war. The Chicago packers doubled and tripled their earnings.

And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public – even before a Senate investigatory body.

But here's how some of the other patriotic industrialists and speculators chiseled their way into war profits.

Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits. They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle Sam has a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought – and paid for. Profits recorded and pocketed.

There was still lots of leather left. So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry. But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas! Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however. Somebody had to make a profit in it – so we had a lot of McClellan saddles. And we probably have those yet.

Also somebody had a lot of mosquito netting. They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. I suppose the boys were expected to put it over them as they tried to sleep in muddy trenches – one hand scratching cooties on their backs and the other making passes at scurrying rats. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!

Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.

There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting in those days, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.

Airplane and engine manufacturers felt they, too, should get their just profits out of this war. Why not? Everybody else was getting theirs. So $1,000,000,000 – count them if you live long enough – was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground! Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France. Just the same the manufacturers made their little profit of 30, 100, or perhaps 300 per cent.

Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ [cents] to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them – a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer. And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers – all got theirs.

Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment – knapsacks and the things that go to fill them – crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them – and they will do it all over again the next time.

There were lots of brilliant ideas for profit making during the war.

One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches. Oh, they were very nice wrenches. The only trouble was that there was only one nut ever made that was large enough for these wrenches. That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls. Well, after Uncle Sam had bought them and the manufacturer had pocketed the profit, the wrenches were put on freight cars and shunted all around the United States in an effort to find a use for them. When the Armistice was signed it was indeed a sad blow to the wrench manufacturer. He was just about to make some nuts to fit the wrenches. Then he planned to sell these, too, to your Uncle Sam.

Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback. One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard. Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels! Not one of them was used. But the buckboard manufacturer got his war profit.

The shipbuilders felt they should come in on some of it, too. They built a lot of ships that made a lot of profit. More than $3,000,000,000 worth. Some of the ships were all right. But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float! The seams opened up – and they sank. We paid for them, though. And somebody pocketed the profits.

It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

The Senate (Nye) committee probe of the munitions industry and its wartime profits, despite its sensational disclosures, hardly has scratched the surface.

Even so, it has had some effect. The State Department has been studying "for some time" methods of keeping out of war. The War Department suddenly decides it has a wonderful plan to spring. The Administration names a committee – with the War and Navy Departments ably represented under the chairmanship of a Wall Street speculator – to limit profits in war time. To what extent isn't suggested. Hmmm. Possibly the profits of 300 and 600 and 1,600 per cent of those who turned blood into gold in the World War would be limited to some smaller figure.

Apparently, however, the plan does not call for any limitation of losses – that is, the losses of those who fight the war. As far as I have been able to ascertain there is nothing in the scheme to limit a soldier to the loss of but one eye, or one arm, or to limit his wounds to one or two or three. Or to limit the loss of life.

There is nothing in this scheme, apparently, that says not more than 12 per cent of a regiment shall be wounded in battle, or that not more than 7 per cent in a division shall be killed.

Of course, the committee cannot be bothered with such trifling matters.

WHO PAYS THE BILLS?

Who provides the profits – these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them – in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us – the people – got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par – and above. Then the bankers collected their profits.

But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.

If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men – men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.

Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone.

In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone.

There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement – the young boys couldn't stand it.

That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead – they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded – they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too – they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam – on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. They paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain – with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby.

In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army.

So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side...it is His will that the Germans be killed.

And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies...to please the same God. That was a part of the general propaganda, built up to make people war conscious and murder conscious.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure."

Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month.

All they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill...and be killed.

HOW TO SMASH THIS RACKET!

WELL, it's a racket, all right.

A few profit – and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions. It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.

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.

Let the workers in these plants get the same wages – all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers –

yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders – everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!

Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds.

Why shouldn't they?

They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!

Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war. That will smash the war racket – that and nothing else.

Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people – those who do the suffering and still pay the price – make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.

Another step necessary in this fight to smash the war racket is the limited plebiscite to determine whether a war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and dying. There wouldn't be very much sense in having a 76-year-old president of a munitions factory or the flat-footed head of an international banking firm or the cross-eyed manager of a uniform manufacturing plant – all of whom see visions of tremendous profits in the event of war – voting on whether the nation should go to war or not. They never would be called upon to shoulder arms – to sleep in a trench and to be shot. Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

There is ample precedent for restricting the voting to those affected. Many of our states have restrictions on those permitted to vote. In most, it is necessary to be able to read and write before you may vote. In some, you must own property. It would be a simple matter each year for the men coming of military age to register in their communities as they did in the draft during the World War and be examined physically. Those who could pass and who would therefore be called upon to bear arms in the event of war would be eligible to vote in a limited plebiscite. They should be the ones to have the power to decide – and not a Congress few of whose members are within the age limit and fewer still of whom are in physical condition to bear arms. Only those who must suffer should have the right to vote.

A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only.

At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up. The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart. They don't shout that "We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation." Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.

Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.

The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.

The ships of our navy, it can be seen, should be specifically limited, by law, to within 200 miles of our coastline. Had that been the law in 1898 the Maine would never have gone to Havana Harbor. She never would have been blown up. There would have been no war with Spain with its attendant loss of life. Two hundred miles is ample, in the opinion of experts, for defense purposes. Our nation cannot start an offensive war if its ships can't go further than 200 miles from the coastline. Planes might be permitted to go as far as 500 miles from the coast for purposes of reconnaissance. And the army should never leave the territorial limits of our nation.

To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.

We must take the profit out of war.

We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.

We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.

TO HELL WITH WAR!

I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.

Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war" and on the implied promise that he would "keep us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.

In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.

Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?

Money.

An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:

"There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.

If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money...and Germany won't.

So..."

Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy.

When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars."

Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.

And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.

There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.

The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.

Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.

But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.

If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war – even the munitions makers.

So...I say, TO HELL WITH WAR.>>

FLUORIDE: A KNOWN CHEMICAL WEAPON

February 19,1999. ALCOA Fined $750,000 by Commerce Department For Illegal Chemical Shipments. 

Potassium fluoride and sodium fluoride are controlled because they can be used to make chemical weapons. 
 These chemicals were added to the Department's control list in March 1991, but ALCOA's export compliance program failed to recognize and incorporate the change. 
There was no indication that in this case the chemicals were used for weapons purposes.

“Airborne fluorides have caused more worldwide damage to domestic animals than any other air pollutant” (Lillie 1970).

"U.S. EPA today proposed to start gradually banning a pesticide often used on cocoa beans and dried fruits that degrades to fluoride, a move closely linked to the Obama administration's decision last week to curb the maximum levels of fluoride in drinking water out of concern for children's health. This week's twin fluoride restrictions reflect "a growing consensus that Americans are exposed to too much fluoride," EWG senior vice president for research, Jane Houlihan, said today. 
"It raises the concern that, for many decades now, the public has been overexposed."

REALLY? 

WE KNEW THAT BEFORE IT WAS ADDED TO DRINKING WATER!  

IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL WASTE PRODUCT, BASICALLY, RIGHT?   
Here's the TRUTH, so help me, and this TRUTH has LONG been known by the fluoride PUSHERS in America! 

<<The type [OF FLUORIDE] that has been promoted by dentistry and added to our water and food supply beginning in the 1940s certainly is [DANGEROUS]. 

Calcium fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral, while its synthetic counterpart, sodium fluoride (silicofluoride), is an industrial-grade hazardous waste material made during the production of fertilizer. 

Its past history includes patented use as RAT POISON and insecticide. 

There are many blind- and double-blind studies that show sodium fluoride has a cumulative effect on the human body leading to allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, bone weakening, cancer, and neurological problems, while actually damaging tooth enamel.>> 

~Renal fluoride toxicity in human beings? YES! 

~Frequent urticaria? STOP USING FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE, see if that doesn't help! 

~Does fluoride exacerbate illnesses with an allergic component like eczema and asthma?
 YES! PROVEN! 

These are just a very FEW of a number of mechanisms whereby adverse reactions to fluoride occur! 
Some have proven FATAL!  
Please be aware that:
1) Ingested fluoride damages gastroduodenal mucosa.
2) Gastrointestinal discomfort can be an early warning sign of fluorosis.
3) Fluoride toxicity should be considered a possible reason for non-ulcer dyspepsia, especially in fluorosis endemic areas.
4) Gastrointestinal discomfort during sodium fluoride therapy calls for extreme caution and close monitoring.
5) Gastrointestinal discomfort in the form of dyspeptic symptoms should be an important diagnostic feature when identifying fluorosis patients and should not be dismissed as non-specific.

FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR HEALTH, YOUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH, PLEASE GET INFORMED ON FLUORIDE!

The above is one of the best-documented sites on the effects of fluoride.
Please get informed.

<<The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) called the phophate industry a “pandora’s box.” While the industry brought wealth to rural communities, it also brought ecological devastation. The CBC described the effects of one particular phosphate plant in Dunville, Ontario:

“Farmers noticed it first… Something mysterious burned the peppers, burned the fruit, dwarfed and shriveled the grains, damaged everything that grew.

Something in the air destroyed the crops. Anyone could see it…
They noticed it first in 1961.
Again in ’62.
Worse each year.
Plants that didn’t burn, were dwarfed.
Grain yields cut in half…
Finally, a greater disaster revealed the source of the trouble.

A plume from a silver stack, once the symbol of Dunville’s progress, spreading for miles around poison – fluorine.  

It was identified by veterinarians.
There was no doubt.

What happened to the cattle was unmistakable, and it broke the farmer’s hearts. Fluorosis – swollen joints, falling teeth, pain until cattle lie down and die. 
Hundreds of them.
The cause – fluorine poisoning from the air.”  

in Polk County, Florida, the creation of multiple phosphate plants in the 1940s caused damage to nearly 25,000 acres of citrus groves and “mass fluoride poisoning” of cattle. 

It is estimated that, as a result of fluoride contamination, “the cattle population of Polk County dropped 30,000 head” between 1953 and 1960, and “an estimated 150,000 acres of cattle land were abandoned” (Linton 1970). 

According to the former president of the Polk County Cattlemen’s Association:
“Around 1953 we noticed a change in our cattle. They failed to fleshen as they normally did. 

We put them in our best pastures and used all known methods to fatten. 
Worming, mineral drenches, changing pastures did not improve the condition. 
We watched our cattle become gaunt and starved, their legs became deformed; they lost their teeth. 
Reproduction fell off and when a cow did have a calf, it was also affected by this malady or was a stillborn.” 

The same thing has happened all over the world...all over the entire world ,when animals are exposed to fluorides!

HOW MANY TYPES OF FLUORIDE ARE THERE?  

When the element of fluoride is combined with something else (LIKE WATER???) , it becomes a fluoride compound. 
There is a vast range of fluorine-containing compounds because fluorine has the capability of forming compounds with nearly all the elements. 

Here are some common forms:

~ SODIUM FLUORIDE  (silicofluoride), is an industrial-grade hazardous waste material made during the production of fertilizer. Its past history includes patented use as rat poison and insecticide. 
There are many blind- and double-blind studies that show sodium fluoride has a cumulative effect on the human body leading to allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, bone weakening, cancer, and neurological problems, while actually damaging tooth enamel

Sodium Fluoride is used in most toothpastes, mouthwashes, dental varnish, dental preparations and nutritional supplements.
This same form of fluoride is used as an insecticide and pesticide, as a preservative in glues, as a growth inhibitor for bacteria, fungi and mold.

Sodium fluoride is also used in making steel and aluminum products.
Added to molten metal, sodium fluoride creates a more uniform metal.
Other industrial uses for sodium fluoride include glass frosting and wood preservatives.

Sodium Fluoride is also used in the manufacture of chemical and biological weapons. 

Although this form of fluoride CAN be used for water fluoridation, the next two forms listed are almost always used due to cost.

~ Calcium Fluoride (CaF2) is a compound of calcium and fluorine which occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite – also called fluorspar.
Most of the world’s fluorine comes from calcium fluoride.

Fluorides in general are toxic to humans, however CaF2 is considered the least toxic, and even relatively harmless due to its extreme insolubility.

Moreover, calcium is a well-known antidote for fluoride poisoning.
When an antidote exists in combination with a poison, it makes the poison far less toxic to the body.
Calcium fluoride is the form of fluoride commonly found in natural, untreated waters.

~ Cryolite or Sodium Aluminum Fluoride is commonly used for aluminum smelting, though is also a pesticide often applied directly to field crops, resulting in permitted fluoride residues in and on fresh fruits and vegetables.

~ Fluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6) is commonly used for water fluoridation. 

This form of fluoride is a toxic liquid by-product, acquired by scrubbing the chimney stacks of phosphate fertilizer manufacture. 

Other names for it are hexafluorosilicic, hexafluosilicic, hydrofluosilicic, and silicofluoric acid. 

The CDC approximates that 95% of our water is fluoridated with fluorosilicic acid. (http://www.cdc.gov/fluoridation/fact_sheets/engineering/wfadditives.htm#1)

~ Sodium Fluorosilicate (Na2SiF6) is primarily added to public drinking water as a fluoridation agent.
This same compound is also used as an insecticide and a wood preservative.  

It is a classified hazardous waste by-product of phosphate fertilizer manufacture which, if not put into our drinking water, must be disposed of at hazardous waste facilities.  
Other names for it are Sodium Fluosilicate and Sodium Silica Fluoride.

~ Stannous Fluoride  is the popular name given to Tin (II) fluoride.
Stannous fluoride is an additive to many toothpastes because it does not become biologically inactive in the presence of calcium, as sodium fluoride does.

~ Sulfuryl Fluoride is applied as a gas fumigant to kill insects and rodents. 

Using sulfuryl fluoride around food products was not allowed due to its toxicity. 

In 2004 the EPA reversed this policy (following long lobbying efforts by the manufacturer) and allowed its use on food.  
This opened the doors for food processing companies nationwide to fumigate their facilities with sulfuryl fluoride, leaving high levels of fluoride in and on foods and even food packaging.  

It has become acceptable for sulfuryl fluoride fumigations to produce fluoride residues of 70 ppm “in or on” processed foods and 130 ppm “in or on” wheat.

There have been no labeling requirements for foods treated with sulfuryl fluoride, meaning that consumers have had no way of knowing which foods are treated.

“The U.S. demand for fluorine, which was 400,000 tons, is expected to jump 25 percent by next year… Even though 600,000 tons of fluorine are contained in the 20 million tons of phosphate rock mined in Florida, the fluorine market has been inaccessible because the fluorine is tied up with silica, a hard, glassy material.”

"'TIED UP WITH SILICA...'"
SILICA IS ONE CAUSE OF ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE, FATAL CANCERS KNOWN...MESOTHELIOMA!

There has been a quite remarkable concession from the EPA, that despite 50 years of water fluoridation, the EPA has NO chronic health studies on silicofluorides.

All safety studies on fluoride to date have been conducted using pharmaceutical-grade sodium fluoride, not industrial-grade silicofluorides.

Health Canada's Drugs Directorate warning --

"should NOT be given to infants under 6 months of age and NOT consumed in areas with fluoridated water supplies" -- is woefully inadequate, as is our own here in America.

The following information (not exhaustive) has appeared in various pharmaceutical books and is consistent with the medical research on sodium fluoride (NaF) (including blind and double-blind studies and/or clinical evidence):

Those indicating need for medical attention [United States Pharmacopoeia, 1986]

• Skin rash (allergic reaction)
• Sores in the mouth and on the lips (mucous membrane ulceration)

Signs of chronic fluoride overdose [United States Pharmacopoeia, 1986]

• Constipation or
• Loss of appetite or
• Nausea or vomiting or
• Pain and aching of bones or
• Stiffness or
• Weight loss or
• White, brown, or black discoloration of teeth (fluorosis, osteosclerosis)

Precautions/Contraindications/Adverse Effects 
Canadian Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties, 1989:
Should not be administered to infants and children using other fluoride-containing drugs, or to patients with frank dental fluorosis
 [emphasis mine]

• Ingestion of fluorides may cause eczema, atopic dermatitis and urticaria
• Reports include skin rash, gastrointestinal upsets and headache. These usually disappear when administration is discontinued
• Chronic toxicity of fluoride is manifest in mottling of the dental enamel (dental fluorosis) and may result in increased density of bone

Warnings [By the Editors of Consumer Guide Prescription Drugs, Beekman House, New York, 1988;

• Poly-Vi-Flor {similar to Tri-Vi-Fluor} vitamin and fluoride supplement]:
   This drug should be used cautiously by those with heart disease, kidney disease, bone disease, or thyroid disease

SO YOU SEE, THE GOVERNMENT KNEW ALL THESE YEARS....THEY KNEW WHAT FLUORIDE CAN DO, HOW IT CAN KILL, HOW IT AFFECTS HUMANS AND ANIMALS.  

AFTER READING THE STUDIES, YOU DECIDE...BUT I HOPE YOUR CHILDREN ALSO GET A CHOICE!  

IT HAS BEEN SUGGESTED THAT FLUORIDE CAN BE LINKED TO ADHD, TO AUTISM, TO MANY NEUROLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE.  

IS IT WORTH IT TO RISK ALL THIS FOR SOMETHING THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF IS NOW TRYING TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION OF?  
NOT FOR ME!

WE ALL GET JUST ONE BODY AND ONE LIFE, FELLOW HUMANS. 

WE MUST TAKE CARE OF WHAT WE HAVE.

AND MAY WE ALL TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN.
