Have you ever heard the expression “War is a Racket?”
It was a quote by Major General Smedley Darlington Butler.
Check-out another of his famous quotes:
“I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.”
Old Smedley was on point especially when you consider he wrote this in 1933.
And check out one of his other quotes:
“I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.”
We repeatedly say how Banksters and the Boyz in the “Club” thrive on war.
Because it’s a driving force behind their money-making machines conveniently disguised as a patriotic involvement.
And the two major wars in Iran and Ukraine are being propped up to cover up the imminent collapse of Europe’s Sovereign Debt Crisis.
At the same time, Japan is teetering over the abyss and may be the first domino to fall before Europe.
This is one of many reasons why capital (money) keeps pouring into our markets from all around the world.
But that doesn’t make us immune to market dislocations like the action currently in the Tech and Chip making Stocks.
However, the bigger problem staring us in the face is going to be the backlash of energy prices resulting from the chokepoints at the Strait of Hormuz AND now the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
What?
The Bab el-Mandeb Strait (located between Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula and the countries of Djibouti and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa) it connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.
And it is the next chokepoint that will compound/escalate oil prices as a result of the war in Iran.
Consider this a “heads up” to what to expect over the next few months thanks to the Banksters insisting on WAR.
In the meantime, learn how to prosper AND thrive during these Turbulent Times by learning how to see what the Boyz in the “Club” are hiding from you (HERE).
Share this with a friend…especially if they don’t own any energy stocks. They’ll thank YOU later.
