Major General Smedley Butler – The Military Industrial Complex’s Original Whistleblower
Sigmund Fraud, Staff Writer
Waking Times
After marking the 12th anniversary of the terrible events of 9/11 and
remembering the over 3000 lives that were lost, the American people
find themselves embroiled in endless military conflict without clear
objectives, without a clear definition of who or what we are still
fighting, and without respectable leadership. This confusion has been
highlighted by the recent push to initiate a bombing campaign against
Syria, even though it is widely known that any campaign against the
Syrian government would be in direct support of Al Qaeda, the group supposedly to blame for the attacks on 9/11.
For 12 years now the casualties on all sides have mounted and the
Middle East has become increasingly destabilized. How is it that our
national response to the 9/11 attack has triggered such a destructive,
expensive, confusing and open-ended military conflict, largely presided
over by a Nobel Peace Prize winning president?
