General Smedley Butler's 1930s treatise "War is a Racket" is quoted to describe the military as a "high-class muscle man" for big business and Wall Street. Celente echoes George Washington's warning against foreign entanglements, arguing that the U.S. should focus on its own borders and poverty rather than fixing the world. He lists historical interventions in Nicaragua, Haiti, and Panama as evidence of the "racketeering" nature of U.S. foreign policy.
