Do you have a list of book recommendations?

Yes, I'll have a series of posts on individual books going up soon. The release schedule is just too crowded now lol. Too much happening in current events.

I can't comment on your post about the Bonus Marchers, but I will say this...YOU are DEAD wrong. The propaganda that you are claiming is the truth is just that PROPAGANDA. "They" want us to believe what you posted and it is a nothing but nonsense. FACT: https://taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-medal-of-honor-smedley-butler-bonus-army/

You can't comment on the post because you're not a paid subscriber, which means you couldn't actually read the article you're responding to. That article includes a quote from one of the lead organizers of the Bonus March (a Communist Party USA employee) admitting that the communists facilitated the entire thing. You're a fucking idiot. Keep consuming slop history from shitlib DOD-propaganda outlets.

Well for some reason I was able to READ the whole article but not post a response. My response is in my notes today. As for being a fucking idiot? Well that must be the reason you write about US history from some place in Guatemala. Because you're so well read. As for consuming SLOP history, you're at the top of the list. I suspect the US Constitution was a communist plot too? And I suspect you're so well versed in communism that this never occurred to you...

COMMUNISM...AMERICAN STYLE! PROVE ME WRONG.

"I was ordered by my Red superiors to provoke riots… I was told to use every trick to bring about bloodshed in the hopes that President Hoover would be forced to call out the Army… The Communists didn’t care how many veterans were killed. I was told that Moscow had ordered riots and bloodshed in hopes that this might set off the revolution."

- John Pace, leader of the leftwing contingent of the Bonus March

I like how the Task and Purpose article you posted doesn't bother to mention that the troops were only called in after several thousand Bonus Marchers began to attack police

And I'm sure he had no reason to lie about it. To make everyone "believe" that the communists were behind it. I guess General Smedly Butler was just a dupe. Yeah, right. The POLICE started attacking Bonus Marchers not the other way around. They defended themselves. And those slime in government back then are just as bad or worse than those administering it today. I've read a LOT about that situation. As for there being a left wing contingent? Maybe they were there just to help things get nasty so people would be pissed at those in power. Think about it...who profited? It sure wasn't General Butler.

WIKI actually has one of the most accurate descriptions that I had ever read about it. READ close, especially about the police shooting at protesters and two dying from wounds.
