Hmmm... maybe I got my timeline mixed up... The point still stands tho about the Banks role in the Civil War. If I screwed up, thanks for catching me. I'll be the first to admit that perfection is something I strive to attain even if it's only for an instant...

Thank you for understanding the point I was trying to make but now let me give you some credit also. I absolutely believe that many of today's wars are the fault of those in power, including the banking industry and history shows us that this happens.

The Spanish-American war was fought because Hearst used his newspaper monopoly to convince the American people that it was necessary. He whipped them into such a frenzy that they demanded the government take action. Now its not hard to imagine that banks with their insane amount of power have the same if not even more influence over our politicans.

Very good thread and thanks for making it.

I felt compelled to post after watching "The Four Horsemen". I posted about it on Follow the Money and one of the replies linked me to the Bankers video. So I'm discussing the topic on two different boards. Trying to not go down the rabbit hole but this really bothers me. I've felt it and thought it but these two videos (especially the Four Horsemen) have made it evident that we are in decline and awareness on the topic is needed. This is my small contribution to achieving that.

Check out the documentary below when you have time. It is professionally produced and was in theaters for a very short time. No idea why it wasnt as big as the Michael Moore movies as the points it makes are more pressing to our country.

The following is my opinion as a member participating in this discussion.

Smedley Butler, Marine major general and two time Medal of Honor winner published a work in 1935 titled War is a Racket. Good stuff.

All wars are wars for booty (that would be loot, for those more familiar with the current colloquial definition of 'booty') and today in the Modern Era, I think you can actually make a case that all wars are banker's wars. Whether they actually cause them or not, may be up for debate. But there's little quibble room about all wars profiting some in a big way.

As an ATS Staff Member, I will not moderate in threads such as this where I have participated as a member.
