Friend,
Smedley Butler
(1881-1940), a highly decorated Marine, was tapped to play the lead
for a fascist Wall Street-led coup against the FDR government.
He refused to play
the role and instead began the process of unmasking the
military-financial complex he had served, writing books such as "War
Is A Racket."
Suzanne Klebe will
present on Butler's legacy as whistleblower and anti-war writer within
the greater context of FDR's anti-colonial intention for post-WWII
U.S.A.
By understanding
Butler's story, we can develop a conceptual basis by which to proceed
in breaking apart the corruption of the military-financial complex,
today.
NB: This week's symposium will be online only, at the
live-stream linked below.
