Henry Makow Ph.D.: Veteran's Day Requires a Rethink!

If central bankers start all the wars, are veterans heroes, or mercenaries and dupes? When the United States and England loaned Mexico money in 1903, using its customs revenue as collateral, Illuminati banker Jacob Schiff cabled Ernest Cassel, his English counterpart: "If they don't pay, who will collect the customs?" Cassel replied: "Your marines and ours." Marine General Smedley Butler (1881-1940) confirmed that he was "a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and the bankers." In his 1935 book, "War is a Racket" he wrote: "I helped to 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 helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. 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." Flash forward to 2011, when NATO fomented and led a "revolution" in Libya, one of only four countries that didn't have a Rothschild central bank: NOW LIBYA DOES!!! They don't call it imperialism anymore. Now they call it: "Our mission in Libya." Soldiers aren't mercenaries, they are "missionaries."
