War Is a Racket is a speech and a 1935 short book by Smedley D. Butler, a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. Based on his career military experience, Butler discusses how business interests commercially benefit from warfare. He had been appointed commanding officer of the Gendarmerie during the 1915–1934 United States occupation of Haiti.After Butler retired from the US Marine Corps in October 1931, he made a nationwide tour in the early 1930s giving his speech "War Is a Racket". The speech was so well received that he wrote a longer version as a short book published in 1935. His work was condensed in Reader's Digest as a book supplement, which helped popularize his message. In an introduction to the Reader's Digest version, Lowell Thomas praised Butler's "moral as well as physical courage". Thomas had written Smedley Butler's oral autobiography.According to the HathiTrust online library, the book published in 1935 is in the public domain. A scanned copy of the original 1935 printing is available for download, in part or in whole, on the HathiTrust website, along with a detailed description of the copyrights.

In 1935, USMC Major General Smedley Butler wrote a booklet entitled "War is a Racket." In this episode, we take a look at the life and times of Smedley Butler, and see that what he said in the 1930s remains valid in the 2020s.

Our “friend of the show,” Bill Ehrhart returns to our podcast to discuss General Smedley D. Butler, one of the most colorful officers in the Marine Corps' long history; he was one of the two Marines who received two Medals of Honor for separate acts of outstanding heroism. Butler and Ehrhart are both cut from the same cloth, Marines, opinionated, and on the correct side of politics.   Supplemental pictures and videos: https://ComingFromLeftField.com/sb   Books: War Is A Racket by Smedley D.

War Is a Racket by Smedley Butler audiobook. Marine Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler's expose of American Corporate Imperialism. Butler said, “I served in all commissioned ranks from second lieutenant to Major General. And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism. I suspected I was just part of the racket all the time. Now I am sure of it.”

Greetings to the living and thank you for listening to the Up Is Down Podcast and double-plus-good thanks to all who support this work. Today on the show I present the seminal piece, War Is A Racket, written by Gen. Smedley Butler in 1935. The highly decorated General returned from "The Great War" to remark on his career of American empire building and contract killing as little more than organized crime, racketeering and wholesale murder of generations in order to inflate the profits of those who benefit from war. And those who benefit are never, ever the people who leave their homes to kill and be killed for the illusion of democracy, but rather the industrialists, manufacturers and bankers who finance all sides of war and who will never ever stop. This, of course, wasn't only possible when the fledgling notion of western democracy was still in it's early adolescence in the early 20th century, but also just as alluring a promise even now in the age of non-kinetic and psychological war, the time of normalized conflict and T.V.-softened and detached, distant bloody things happening "over there" to "those people", never here at home.I try to have fun with the reading and I hope you enjoy the take on war profiteering from an expert in the field nearly 100 years ago. The book is very short and packed full of data that dispels any myth about limited government and practical restraint in times of conflict, and demonstrates just how far the U.S. goes in subsidizing "democracy throughout the world" at any cost.

In this episode of Freedom Lovin, Kevin continues his exploration of Alfie Kohn's Punished by Rewards, commenting on the important difference between intrinsic motivation and external motivation and how the former can be encouraged, rather than snuffed out by the modern education system.

Whose War Is It Anyway? 

Well, it happened! Russia bombed Ukraine. Such a weird build up with our government issuing a series of warnings. Who advertises an attack? Why did it happen? What's such a big deal about Ukraine that the two governments have to fight over it? What the hades is really going on? I don't claim to know, but what I do know is our own leadership has lied to us about everything from the attack on Pearl Harbor, The Gulf of Tonkin Incident, Throwing babies out of incubators, WMD's, & the excuse for turning Libya into rubble. So, in this episode I do some exploring, & some spitballing. I look at some general info about Ukraine. I look at who is funding The Atlantic Council, & how much is spent on NATO. Then jump into a brief historical dive into countries in which the US has interfered in their elections, and overthrown their governments. We even go all the way back to the noninterventionist philosophies of the founding fathers, & have a look at a famous speech from John Quincy Adams on foreign policy. (Not in this particular order) So, come with me will you on another deep dive down the rabbit role, far beyond the mainstream!

Cheers, & Blessings

The Horrible Lesson Rightwing Radicalism Has Taught America Unmasked.

Considered on its own, the New York Police Department is in the top ten largest armies in the world. Why? As working-class New Yorkers struggle to stay fed and safely housed, the NYPD enjoys nearly unlimited resources and sees no issue with using those resources to oppress and surveil the city's population. On tonight's show, we speak to Khalil from NYC-DSA's Defund NYPD campaign on why socialists' commitment to REAL public safety remains strong. We also take calls live from the WBAI audience. In international news, capitalists and war-mongers are pushing for further escalation in the Russia-Ukraine dispute. We'll hear from Gerard of the Democratic Socialists International Committee on their recent statement opposing US militarization and interventionism in Ukraine and Eastern Europe and calling for an end to NATO expansionism. Join NYC-DSA's campaign to Defund NYPD: https://www.defundnypd.com/get-involved Read the International Committee's statement in English, Russian, or Ukrainian: https://international.dsausa.org/statements/no-war-with-russia/ On this episode, Lee Ziesche shares a brief public service announcement about this month's sky-high ConEd bills. We will be covering this issue more in depth on future episodes, but visit bit.ly/conedbill to learn more about how this situation was created by New York politicians' climate inaction and how DSA is fighting back. 

Jonathan Katz is the author of the new book Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Breaking of America's Empire. His essays and other writing have appeared in such leading publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, the New Republic, The Guardian, Mother Jones and Foreign Policy. He is also a recipient of the James Foley/Medill Medal for Courage in Journalism. Jonathan explains the parallels between Donald Trump and his cabal's coup attempt on Jan. 6, 2021 and the “Business Plot” against President Roosevelt in the 1930s. He also warns that the alliance and attraction between the moneyed classes and fascism and other forms of authoritarianism are nothing new in American life. He also shares how legendary Marine Corps General Smedley Butler went from being a gangster for capitalism and an enforcer of American empire to a person of conscience – and the lessons we can all learn from that transformation in this dark time of democracy crisis and ascendant fascism and other forms of inhumanity. Jonathan and Chauncey also reflect on what they learned from their health crises about life, vocation, and managing trauma and fear. Chauncey DeVega cuts a much-deserved promo on the hope peddlers, happy pill sellers, and other members of the commentariot and political class who continue to live in an alternate universe of narcissistic denial, delusion, and happy endings that minimizes the existential danger represented by Donald Trump and the Republican-fascists and their movement. And Chauncey shares an update on his health journey, trials and tribulations, realizations, luck, and what it means to get your bounce back.

Katz, author of Gangsters of Capitalism: Smedley Butler, the Marines, and the Making and Remaking of America's Empire and The Racket Substack, joins The Realignment to discuss the legacy of General Smedley Butler (the most decorated U.S. Marine in history) through the lens of his involvement in early 20th century interventions in Cuba, the Philippines, China, and Haiti, how we should reflect on America's imperial legacy in the context of 21st century Chinese and Russian aggression, and how (or should) we evaluate present and future wars under his famous “War Is a Racket” speech/pamphlet.

"War is a Racket" is a speech written in 1935 by Major General Smedley Butler that I am reading in 2021 in one take probably a bit faster than I should have. Everything in his speech has manifested into a grotesque nightmare version of his warnings, and given our current War on COVID, you can see how the racket continues to this day. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/roginkim/support

What was the Afghanistan War all about? That is the question on many people's lips after a devastating 20-year campaign that has killed an estimated 176,000 people and displaced nearly 6 million more.Today, Watchdog host Lowkey is joined by a man who knows the war from both inside and out. Matthew Hoh was at the forefront of the American empire's campaign in the Middle East, first serving as a captain in the U.S. Marines, then moving to the Department of Defense and the State Department. In 2009, he publicly resigned from his position in the State Department in Zabul Province, Afghanistan, over U.S. policy in the country, which he saw as both illogical and immoral.The recent fall of the U.S.-backed Afghan government, only days after NATO troops withdrew, and the Taliban's quick re-emergence as the dominant political force in the country were no surprise to him. “The same thing would have happened in 2009 [when I was there],” Hoh told Lowkey today. “This has always been a house of cards; any little thing was going to cause it to collapse.”Hoh, who has since become an anti-war activist, discussed the reasoning behind his decision to follow his conscience and leave his lucrative and distinguished career behind him. Already jaded after his experiences in Iraq, he told Lowkey that he was “holding on to the hope that somehow the Afghan War was going to be different and somehow fundamentally a war worth fighting… I didn't want to let go of who I had become and the career I was in.”The North Carolinian also described the extraordinary waste and corruption in both the U.S. and the Middle East, noting that 40% of the “aid” money scheduled for places like Iraq and Afghanistan never leaves the U.S. at all, staying in what is now colloquially known as “Raytheon Acres” -- the ring of expensive suburbs around Washington, D.C., home to the headquarters of a myriad of weapons contractors and aid agencies alike. “The one place that reconstruction was successful was in Northern Virginia,” Hoh quipped. And 20% more goes to management fees, leaving barely 10 cents on the dollar for the actual projects in Iraq or Afghanistan.Today, Matthew Hoh has left that life behind and is a Senior Fellow with the Center for International Policy and a member of the Eisenhower Media Network, organizations challenging orthodox thinking in U.S. foreign policy.MintPress News is a fiercely independent, reader-supported outlet, with no billionaire owners or backers.

War is a Racket by General Smedley D Butler excerpts read by me Hope you can find this book and if not at least wake up to the fact that war makes money for certain people but robs the rest of us of so much more.... and all for profit not for democracy or a better world. Maybe that's just the way it is, but if you go along with it then you're just as guilty as those making a profit. Thank you for your time and hope you are safe and healthy

Business is War. War is War. War is not Business.

War is sold to the American people like any other profitable product - through marketing and advertising. But the REAL motives for never-ending war are never known to most Americans. And American wars are not designed to be won - they are designed to keep producing endless profits. Humpday Health! Waiting for FDA approval for the vaccines? Think that means they are "Safe & Effective"? THINK AGAIN. The FDA is a Big Pharma SALES force.

And during that period I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.

This episode is a reading of the short but powerful 1935 book 'War Is A Racket', written not by a conspiracy theorist living in his parents' basement (admittedly, they didn't really exist in 1935!) but by a highly-decorated Marine Corps Major General. I intersperse it with a few comments of my own and the reading is followed by Mark Twain's 'The War Prayer' and Antony's song 'Lessons of War' If you like what you hear, please subscribe, like, share etc...

Mandy abandons the show this week for something actually impactful. Meanwhile, Alex and Jim do the news. Topics include: Joe Rogan being an anti-vax moron, Joe Biden's big ole' American Families Plan proposal, his dem-brain means-tested attempt at tuition-free college, Bernie's College for All plan (which is, of course, a million times better), Mark Zuckerberg evicting native Hawaiians from his newly purchased beach, and India's coronavirus woes. Then we talk something many vets are thinking about: the War-That-Will-Not-End in Afghanistan. While Biden blows off the May 1st troop withdrawal date, and the Taliban prepares to attack coalition bases in reprisal, veterans of Afghanistan are back home trying to make sense of it all. Timothy Kudo captured this sentiment in a bottle with a NY Times opinion piece called "I Fought in Afghanistan. I Still Wonder, Was It Worth It?" Though he hasn't quite figured out yet that WAR IS A RACKET, he still works through his own Hurt Locker Moment, like we all have (or will).

Shakin Shaner explores the life and legacy of Major General Smedley Butler, AKA, Old Gimlet Eye, who received two Congressional Medals of Honor.  He dives into his life after the Marine Corps and touch on his participation in the March of the Bonus Army, the Business Plot and his book, "War is a Racket".  This is truly a great story about honorable service, giving back and standing up for veterans, derailing a plot against the American Government and being true to oneself.  A great way to celebrate Veterans Day.

We glance into the fascinating and interlinked historical events of the Business Plot (to overthrow FDR's White House on behalf of a handful of wealthy industrialists), the Bonus Army's March upon Washington DC, and the figure of Major General Smedley Darlington Butler and his rallying cry against the profit motive as connected to warfare, in his book War is a Racket.General RecommendationsJD's Recommendation: Internet Archive: Classic PC GamesJNM's Recommendation: They Shall Not Grow OldFurther Reading, Viewing, ListeningReadWar is a Racket by Smedley Butler (PDF)The 1932 Bonus Army: Black and White Americans Unite in March on WashingtonThe Sad Tale of the Bonus MarchersViewExcerpt from The Corporation on "The Business Plot" and Smedley ButlerStuff They Don't Want You To Know - The Business PlotThe Bonus Army: An American Epic - A Presentation by the book's authorsListenSoldier Against Soldier: The Story of the Bonus ArmyWar is a Racket (Audiobook)Locationless LocationsEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Heat Death of the Universe - @heatdeathpodJD Newland - @jdnewlandJoshua Nomen-Mutatio - @ImbalancingActPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: heatdeathoftheuniversepodcast@gmail.comOutro MusicBarry McGuire"Eve of Destruction"Eve of Destruction

Welcome back for another episode of Nick’s Non-fiction with your host Nick Muniz! Smedley Butler is a major general with five medals for heroism and one of nineteen men to receive two medals of honor. He fought in the trenches through WWI and the Mexican Revolution (yes there was an American side).

This week, Scott and Karl read War is a Racket, the antiwar classic, written by one of America's most decorated soldiers— General Smedley D. Butler.  When he published this essay in 1935, General Bulter was already a retired United States Marine Corps Major General and two-time Medal of Honor recipient. In his essay, you'll find that he argues against war because war is a racket. But what is a 'racket'? According to the General, "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." His frank essay showcases how American war efforts were animated by big-business interests such as war profiteering. Tune in to hear Scott and Karl's take, and learn just how General Bulter recommends disrupting the war racket.   

In this episode, Bob and Scott talk with anarchist, U.S. military veteran, environmentalist and direct action organizer Graham Clumpner (@turncoatveteran). We discuss movement politics and the military during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the rise of the far right since those wars and current politics and the military in the ages of Trump and COVID19. We also talk about the need for a movement against militarism and war, the need for international solidarity in the left, and intersection of militarism and the climate crisis.

Major General Smedley D. Butler was a military hero of the first rank, the winner of two Medals of Honour, a true "fighting Marine" whose courage and patriotism could not be doubted. Yet he came to believe that the wars in which he and his men had fought and bled and died were all pre-planned conflicts, designed not so much to defend America as to bloat the balance sheets of US banks and corporations. General Smedley Butler’s frank book, "War Is A Racket," shows how American war efforts were animated by big-business interests. General Butler's argument against war are still relevant now more than ever. This is a 60 minute reading of his important revelation.

* Guest: Lowell Nelson – CampaignForLiberty.org – RonPaulInstitute.org. * Happy Armistice Day – Veteran’s day – Wishing each other a “reverent” Veterans Day or a “grateful” Veterans Day would be much more fitting! * Armistice means truce, or an agreement to end the fighting. Yes, ending fighting would truly be a reason to celebrate. * Why Politicians Like to Make War. * Two reasons politicians like to make war, please their corporate cronies who donate money to their campaigns and to extend and support the life of the petrodollar. * Yes, war is a racket: booklet, “War Is A Racket” by Major General Smedley Butler. * Why Citizens Should Oppose War. * The US has been at war 93% of the time since 1776. In other words, there have been only 20 to 25 years when the US was not at war with someone. This is a staggering statistic! * Let’s celebrate Veteran’s Day in a responsible way today, folks. Let’s begin to realize the untold costs of war, and let’s END them! Remember that politics is downstream from culture. One must change his heart, and then inspire this change in those around him. If we will change our culture, then the politics will follow. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

"War is a Racket" is a transcription of the famous speech given by Major General Smedley Butler on a tour of America in the 1930s, after the conclusion of his military career. Narrated here by host JR Shaw, the speech focuses on war profiteering in WWI and examines the duplicitous, unseen forces that drive modern warfare.

When voicing any criticism of The United States’ Wars on Terror and Drugs, you may be asked condescendingly, “Have you served?” Smedley Butler was the most decorated and highest ranking Marine of his day, yet he came away as an outspoken anti-war advocate, writing the powerful book War Is A Racket.

A most critical fact about President Donald Trump is that he is an invention of the International Bankers Cabal (IBC) that owns and controls the Federal Reserve System. The IBC is the faceless structure that creates the FED dollars necessary to finance the private wars which, like most of his predecessors, President Trump is inciting with every passing day.  The IBC also influences the major international news media.  These brewing wars are enveloping our current youngest adult generation, the Millennials, much as WWII dominated the lives of the so-called “Greatest Generation.” In this controversial, 19 minute, podcast, Chuck Carlson and members of We Hold These Truths discuss Chuck's ground breaking article, "The Bankers’ Unfolding Scheme for War on the Millennial Generation." Background material referenced in the podcast: "Federal Reserve’s Role in Financing America’s Wars," War Is A Racket" by Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler and "Perpetual War For Perpetual Peace" by Gore Vidal.

Nate Bethea is co-host of the podcast A Hell of a Way to Die, a funny, often bracing show about the intersection of leftist politics and American military culture. While serving as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army from 2007-2014, and deploying to Afghanistan in 2009-2010, Bethea reports that he “lived the Army values so hard that I became a socialist.” In this conversation, he discusses the hazards of being openly left while on active duty, the disturbing rise of MAGA-style fascism among veterans, and how his experience at war deepened his political commitments:   “Leftist veterans aren't coming from the perspective that everyone should be in the military, but what we're saying is that we've seen some of these policies put forth in the military, we've seen things like universal health care, things like the GI Bill covering your full tuition—we see these things, and we think, why can't everybody have this? And we also have seen the waste and the stupidity . . . the containers full of shit burned in Afghanistan, vehicles valued at $300,000 abandoned in Iraq . . . I mean, if you take ROTC paying for my undergrad, and the GI Bill paying for my M.F.A., and if I had done a Ph.D., all of that tuition put together, and all the cost of living allowance they've given me, would not equal the cost of one stupid Humvee that we gave to the Iraqis and then ISIS stole, and then we bombed it with a bomb that cost more than the Humvee.”  

On Pat's last day in the military we talk about: If you hated our last episode, you're not gonna enjoy this one.  Officers V Enlisted - we are NOT in this together.  The Pay Scale.  The Promotion System.  The unbelievable incompetence of the bureaucracy. Up until my final minutes.  The hypocrisy.  War Is A Racket.

It looks like war against Iran may have to wait until after a war against Syria is started.  Join Charles E. Carlson for our behind the headlines analysis of the events unfolding for another US war to spread "freedom" and "democracy."  Yes, Martha, we do need to keep our military/industrial complex firing on all eight cylinders.  After all, aren't wars good for the economy?  Never mind what General Smedley Butler said,  "War Is A Racket!"

Today we read again from General Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket" in chapters 3-4. Azzy from Ireland and Thunder will be my panelists as we further this discussion. Please tune in!

In this episode we read from General Smedley's book "War is a Racket". The book that is quoted in the Zeitgeist Orientation Presentation.

Robert Scheer, Editor-in-chief of the web magazine http://www.truthdig.com and the author of seven books, the “left” of KCRW's nationally syndicated Left, Right, and Center, a weekly columnist at the San Francisco Chronicle, and a contributing editor to The Nation. His latest book is "The Pornography of Power: How Defense Hawks Hijacked 9/11 and Weakened America." THE PORNOGRAPHY OF POWER serves as an update to the World War I-era book WAR IS A RACKET. The former expands on the latter's theme of money, not security, as the reason for both military action and peacetime military spending. (You can read WAR IS A RACKET for free on-line with a web search of the title.) A sensible response to box cutters and poorly-constructed cockpit doors should cost taxpayers less than billions of dollars for F-22 Raptor fighter planes. Yet as THE PORNOGRAPHY OF POWER details, the Bush Administration and Congress used the September 11, 2001, hijackings as an excuse to place orders for those and many other expensive, unnecessary killing machines beneath the Christmas trees of their weapons manufacturer campaign contributors. Oh, and don't forget jobs. As if it were a contest to see if people will accept the stupidest rationale for spending tax dollars on overpriced, needless weapons, public officials cite jobs, THE PORNOGRAPHY OF POWER recounts. Imagine the community improvement were the government to spend all that money on hospitals, schools or infrastructure instead of unnecessary military stuff - while creating as many and probably a lot more paychecks. Perhaps school children should lobby Congress during their recess. Nearly 100 years since World War I, war still proves the greatest racket.
