Smedley Butler: War is a Racket!
|
 |
|
|
Actor and Performance Artist Namaya as
Major General Smedley Butler
|
"
War
is a
racket
. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small 'inside' group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

Smedley Butler, 1935
Have you ever heard the name "Smedley Butler?"
If you haven't, you're in for a treat. In his upcoming event at the Fletcher Free Library, performance artist Namaya brings to life the decorated Major General (a two-time Medal of Honor recipient) who went on to write War is a Racket, the 1935 tome that first laid out what would come to be referred to decades later as the "military industrial complex" by President Eisenhower. Join performance artist Namaya as he breathes new life into the words of Smedley Butler on May 25th at the Fletcher Free Library at 6pm.
For further information on the event, call (802) 863-3403.
