Viral Discussion of Smedley Butler’s ‘War Is a Racket’ Book and Testimony on the Business Plot Coup Attempt Against FDR

Major General Smedley Butler, a highly decorated U.S. Marine who received two Medals of Honor, and his 1935 book ‘War Is a Racket,’ where he described U.S. military interventions as serving corporate interests in Mexico, Haiti, Cuba, Central America, Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and China. They also reference his 1934 congressional testimony alleging a Business Plot by wealthy oligarchs and the American Liberty League to recruit him for a fascist coup against President Franklin D. Roosevelt, backed by 500,000 men. The discussion notes the lack of punishment for the plotters and draws historical parallels to contemporary events.
In 1934 this man testified to congress that he was approached to lead a coup and replace FDR. The plan had the backing of America’s wealthiest oligarchs along with the backing of 500k men in order to install a fascist dictatorship here in America to match Europe. It is called the business plot. Many of the wealthiest families (who formed the american liberty league) admired, supported, collaborated or outright funded the nazis. All in response to FDR’s new deal government. A lot of these oligarchs worked with the black legion, which was a branch of the kkk that specifically targeted leftist and union organizers. After speaking with Butler, congress deemed the plan not a matter of if but when the backers deemed it expedient. We did nothing to bring these men in for justice because in this country, if you are rich enough, you are untouchable. It was mistake. It was a mistake to not punish the confederates. It was a mistake not to punish these families that planned a coup against FDR and it was a giant mistake not to punish Trump and all those who funded and made Jan 6 possible. We are living through these mistakes now and it is costing us dearly.

WAR IS A RACKET

Shell made nearly $7 billion in profit in the first three months of 2026—double the previous period. BP’s Q1 profits also doubled to $3.2 billion. While millions feel economic pain from the disruption of the Iran War, oil and gas companies are making massive sums of money.

No equivalent today. The closest thing in the US now is probably Larry Wilkerson, a former Colonel who, really, is just a US military conservative who’s critical of some specific US wars. By contrast, Butler went from Major General to Socialist, completely rebuking US military.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy JUST LIED to the American people saying fuel prices are ” “in a good place” and actually encouraged “all Americans to take a road trip.” Do they think their supporters are stupid?

Tennessee Republicans are now trying to eliminate the requirement to notify voters when their polling place changes during this gerrymandering mess.

Ask yourself one question: If everything is fair and legitimate, why would they need to make it HARDER for voters to know where to vote? Because they know exactly what they’re doing. Chaos and confusion is how they win.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

THE U.S. IS RUNNING OUT OF WATER — AND THIS IS THE PROOF THEY CAN’T HIDE

Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States, is now sitting at roughly ONE-THIRD FULL.

Not a dip.
Not a cycle.

A collapse happening in real time.

• Water levels are down ~170 FEET from full capacity
• A permanent white “bathtub ring” now wraps the entire lake
• Marinas stranded. Boats left sitting in dirt. Entire shorelines gone
• This single system supplies water to millions across the Southwest

And it all depends on one source that’s also breaking:

Colorado River

Now look at what’s happening:

Less snowpack.
Lower inflow.
Same demand.

Even when levels rise… they’re still losing.

This isn’t a bad year.
This is depletion.

The kind that doesn’t reverse overnight.
The kind people ignore until it hits a point it can’t recover from.

At what point does this stop being “temporary”… and become permanent?
