General Butler died a short time later, but not before writing his infamous book, 'War Is A Racket,' in which he coined the term 'military-industrial complex.' He said that he suspected that the US (Deep State) was gearing up for a second world war. He was right.
the life of Smedley Butler.
It was my recollection, that he stated plainly that he had only been provided info through MccGuire, and that he had not been able to speak with the

It having been almost fifty years since I spent time looking him up, I thought it would be appropiraate to glance over the available material prior to proceeding.
