Episode description

"War is a Racket" is a speech written in 1935 by Major General Smedley Butler that I am reading in 2021 in one take probably a bit faster than I should have. Everything in his speech has manifested into a grotesque nightmare version of his warnings, and given our current War on COVID, you can see how the racket continues to this day.
