The whole article is from a Dutch blogger, Stan van Houcke.
Here I just want to quote three Americans who were 'in the know' and told us decennia ago what most people do not know yet: That the Power Elite is the real government, and that wars happen not by chance or by necessity, but because it is in their interest.
These are the three witnesses:
1. President general Eisenhower, in 1961.
2. Mr. Scoup, a Marine Corps commander, in 1966.
3. Mr. Smedley Butler, a Marine corps commander, in 1933.
Below that you will see how many agressive wars the USA has fought.
President Eisenhower:
Here you can see the youtube video:
Mr. Scoup:
I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own—and if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the ‘haves’ refuse to share with the ‘have-nots’ by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans… America has become a militaristic and aggressive nation.
De visie van generaal Shoup, wiens kritiek door historici wordt beschouwd ‘to be among the most pointed and high-profile leveled by a veteran against the Vietnam War,’ wijkt fundamenteel af van de conclusie van de journalist Geert Mak’s boek Reizen zonder John dat de VS overal ter wereld ‘decennialang als ordebewaker en politie agent [fungeerde].’ Mak heeft het hierbij over de geschiedenis van na de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Maar we hebben al gezien dat wat betreft de jaren 1945 tot 2000 zijn bewering in strijd is met de feiten. En voordat we situatie van na 2000 gaan behandelen wijs ik erop dat ook voorafgaand aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog de VS geenszins een ‘ordebewaker’ was, tenminste als we het begrip ‘orde’ niet tot het absurde oprekken, want ander zou men ook het nazisme een ‘orde’kunnen noemen. Hoe dan ook, de situatie voorafgaand aan 1939 werd helder verwoord door een andere'Commandant' van het Amerikaanse Korps Mariniers, Smedley Butler, die in 1933 over de Amerikaanse agressie het volgende zei:
Mr. Smedley Butler:
War is just a racket ( Een bedrieglijke onderneming). A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of 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 masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we'll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
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.
There isn't a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its "finger men" to point out enemies, its "muscle men" to destroy enemies, its "brain men" to plan war preparations, and a "Big Boss" Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. 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.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.

Note / Update :
England, the country where the bankers earlier had their 'home', has invaded 9 out of every 10 countries in the world.
In the last 100 years the US has taken over this 'home-base of the Bankers' function, of course. Now the invading is done by them.
Here is a graph of all the countries invaded:
