December 7, 1929, Buffalo Courier-Express, page 2, Author Asks for Senate Quiz of Butler's Speech; Sinclair Lewis says general confirmed charges against marines in Haiti, Nicaragua,
Pittsburgh. Pa., Dec. 6 (AP)—Sinclair Lewis, author, today telegraphed Senator William E. Borah that an "immediate senate investigation" was warranted by remarks made by Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler concerning marines in Nicaragua and Haiti. Butler spoke last night before the Pittsburgh Builders' Exchange.
Lewis's telegram said that Butler laughingly confirmed bitterest charges against marines. Quoting Butler from a newspaper story, which the author said he had confirmed through Robert K. Cochrane, secretary of the exchange, the Lewis telegram said in part:
"Concerning elections in Nicaragua, he explained that the opposition candidates were declared bandits when it became necessary to elect a candidate.
"Concerning Hayti, Butler told how the marine-controlled president has dissolved the congress to prevent the legislative body from passing a new constitution. He aided the president in drawing up the edict that dissolved the congress, the speaker said."
Lewis in his message to the senator said 'has not Butler practically admitted conspiracy to murder the men he and his aides unjustly declared bandits, as they have been killed as alleged bandits?" The author added that he had a list of persons who heard Butler speak if the senate wanted to summon them.
This is one of Ozzybinoswald aka Thomson's favorite blogs.
ReplyDeleteOzzy is a sleazy guy who worked close to Craig "Killtown" Lazo spreading lies about Mark Humphrey being the Harley Guy and other crap online, including a unhealthy interest in scantily clad under-aged girls. Famous quote from "Killtown" Lazo:
"ER, I not a big fan at all of using porn to get more hits for TV fakery, but where is your evidence that it is/has discredited the movement?
Ozzy also was part of Ghost Troop, a group of fringe nutters, one of which shot up the Holocaust Museum.
Why are you getting this message? Because conspiracy scammers don't get to get away with it. Neither Craig Lazo or Mr. Thomson will delete their lies, so everyone gets to know about them.
Have a nice day!
