corporations? Have you not yet understood why corporations pour so much money into elections and
the lobbying of U.S. government officials?

Consider that since 1913 the United States has been engaged in almost continual wars all across the
globe: World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, War in
Yugoslavia, the first and second invasions of Iraq, War in Afghanistan, War in Libya, War in Syria,
War in Ukraine, etc.. These wars were not fought to safeguard American interests as the government
and media declared. They were wars of corporate interest. They were wars fought for control of the
resources of nations, resources coveted by transnational corporations, and for the establishment of
other Corporate Fascist regimes.

I highly recommend the book War is a Racket written in 1935 by U.S. Marine Major General
Smedley Butler. After a career in the U.S. military, including service during World War I, General
Smedley Butler came to the realization that the only ones who profit from war are bankers and
corporations, and their profits are huge. General Butler sadly confessed that he had spent his years
in military service as an “enforcer” for the biggest, most corrupt, group of racketeers that exist in this
world. Blinded by patriotic fervor, few in the military realize that they are not servants of the United
States people, nor are their activities promoting the welfare of America as a nation. They are
indentured servants of a corporate fascist government system that seeks always its own interests and
profits. General Smedley Butler wrote:

I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of
my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was
a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and 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. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of
Brown Brothers in 1902-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar
interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China
in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might
have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts.
I operated on three continents.

Brothers and sisters, this is the real world with the illusions stripped away. The Space Race, like the
Cold War, was just one more fiction of the corporate fascists to engage the populace in supporting
their ultimate goals of global domination. We are nearing the end game. Things will get very
interesting in the days ahead.
