War Is A Racket. It Always Has

War Is Just A Racket. A Racket Is Best Described, I Believe, As Something That Is Not What It Seems To The Majority Of 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 Masses.

I Helped Purify Nicaragua For The International Banking House Of Brown Brothers In 1909-1912. I Brought Light To The Dominican Republic For American Sugar Interests In 1916. In China I Helped To See To It That Standard Oil Went Its Way Unmolested.

I Helped Make Mexico, Especially Tampico, Safe For American Oil Interests In 1914. I Helped Make Haiti And Cuba A Decent Place For The National City Bank Boys To Collect Revenues In.

I 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, A Gangster For Capitalism.

War Is A Racket : I Suspected I Was Just Part Of A Racket At The Time. Now I Am Sure Of It. Like All Members Of The Military Profession I Never Had An Original Thought Until I Left The Service. My Mental Faculties Remained In Suspended Animation While I Obeyed The Orders Of The Higher- Ups. This Is Typical With Everyone In The Military Service
