general butler to refresh our viewers memories you are the most decorated soldier in u s history with two medals of honor to your name no one has to tell you what it means to risk your life in defense of your country thanks for coming to the impossible situation room general butler good evening originally we planned to have former prime minister tony blair with us but he couldn't make it as he has a crisis at the vatican at the moment in his place we are also honored to host a short notice a sterkel figure a myth formally known as the devil who currently goes by the heading of chief executive officer a big satan incorporated hello satan good to be back wolf the year is two thousand and thirteen and this is our impossible situation we just re elected an unpopular president we are paying dearly in blood and treasure for too long and popular wars are you supply the blood and the nations whose human rights record we find repugnant supply the funding the economy is collapsing spectacularly and we here in the impossible situation room are doing all we can to make sure the public will never know who to hold responsible welcome to the impossible situation room gentlemen every once in a while due to time constraints and conflicting demographic strategies something remarkable happens here live in the self perpetuated impossible situation room i hope somebody has the guts to make that happen tonight general butler are you sure the nation that you so bravely defended his salvagable it would be good news for the rest of the planet if the usa would just shut up and go away or do you think barack obama is just nutty enough to take the rest of us with him this is not just about you it's about the rest of the people who haven't been paying attention who live here to inspire  you and them this country deserves better interesting general as we pause from a word from ours from our sponsors in the interests of full disclosure of the impossible situation room is a fully owned subsidy a big say in incorporated with general smedley butler satan and me blitzkrieg coyote in the impossible situation room mr devil what is your take on the united states of america's moral fitness to survive the us will always survive in some form perhaps the prominence of forced labor camps will raise some eyebrows but what of it wouldn't be an ironic ending to a nation whose citizenry is a mob hell bent on its own environmental destruction my oh my how far we've com forced labor camps the only forced labor that's likely to happen is with when the guy with the horns is breaking rocks in the hot sun so mr slime enos but where were you when the founding fathers put their necks on the line to declare independence from the british crown still in london i bet those man were drawing a line against tyranny for human rights that will stand as long as our citizens can find it on a map general buttercup you and i know the so called founding fathers were just the latest in a long line of dead white european male oppressors who managed to turn a tea tax into a rebellion they've become a virtual pantheon of mythical characters the type that populate children's fairy tales brother again say the line of george washington is not so long is the line of your b s whatever happened to washington's common sense neutrality if the idea is to preserve the general welfare part for posterity we can start by keeping our young people alive now that's something we can agree upon general if you'd had your way and the usa had minded its own business it would have been recall and eyes by the third reich by now which probably would have been a much more workable arrangement than the one you've created for yourselves don't you agree let's just say i wasn't privy to the information the president had i had no idea how deep the roots of your global fascist conspiracy had penetrated into everything good in just in this world if i don't lived until pearl harbor i would have seen with my own eyes that we had to destroy you as completely as possible oh well that may not be as easy as it sounds last week dr henry kissinger told me here and the impossible situation room that we can't win the wars in iraq or afghanistan but we can't leave either we have to stay and fight it out reestablish security  supplying targets to look of terror groups that didn't exist or we got there until we started droning the people it's not exactly a walk in the park but it's all we can do if it was up to me i believe tonight i wrote the book war is a racket about my thirty three years in the marines i spent most of my time being a high class muscle man for wall street and the bankers i was for capitalists it takes one to know one wolf so let me tell you your number is up everybody knows the game is rigged and when it ends some people are going to jail i'm glad you brought that up general sovereignty is passe we're in a war against terror that could last one hundred years we need to make the twenty first century the century of the right to protect our perpetual warfare anywhere any time war and markets without borders we have the right to protect and you have the right to die it's liberal it's humanitarian and it's sustainable why not let british petroleum fly their own flag one with a deep sea drilling ri but don't drag the united states into it as usual it will be sold as democracy and free markets then give them a battle if they are lucky enough to come home aimed and disfigured making our veterans hospitals and state institutions fill up with permanently disabled you take their guns first though we'll be right back after a break from our sponsor and take up the topic of we're back with our guests in the impossible situation room in a time of skyrocketing tuition and limited access to education how can we possibly maintain a commitment they can cost upwards of a million dollars to keep grandma alive for a last three months question say are these figures to add up they call that a death panel but we're not going to have that discussion tonight as a stand in guest for tony blair i know something about this subject they do call that a death panel but that's not what we're talking about we need to think about the quality of the end of life the dignity it's about the counseling the insurance the money not just prolonging a hopeless situation my friend and colleague prime minister blair in his conspicuous concern for the health care standards of seniors in the usa and the united kingdom has shared this piece of policy wisdom with your own president barack obama and it's coming to a hospital on your shore soon that does appear to be the word on the street recently at the aspen institute  grandma dies now it means we won't have to lay off ten teachers but let's go to that clip now it squeezes out everything else so right now what you see is that squeezing higher education you're raising tuitions at the university of california at the as rapidly as they can and so the access that used to be available to the middle class or whatever is just rapidly going away that's a trade off societies making because of very very high medical costs and a lack of willingness to say you know is spending a million dollars on that last three months of life or that petion would it be better not to lay off the those ten teachers and to make that tradeoff a medical cost but that's called the death panel and you're not so tab that discussion so you of course that he has an interesting thing you just sad what you just the last three months in life for one person is up there because we haven't had a discussion of how to allocate that money it means we lay off three teachers to do so i m allocation we're making that trade off because of huge medical costs that are not examined to see which ones actually have no benefit whatsoever and because a pension generosity we will be laying off over one hundred thousand teachers which you know i'm very much against that and the whole array of people agree with me on that who is bill gates is he al disowns like a robbery hostage situation who would help put that greening gig in charge of health care in the first place get straight on our priorities commit ourselves to making our veterans and our seniors help care the best it can we can say on the bottom line just by cutting out the insurance for profit racket with a single payer for all sounds like the same thing is terrorizing afghanistan and iraq is moving in on our medical system in this country like the predator has a problem it needs to create and it intends to start with the seniors and work its way through the ranks as quick as i can well we can help the hospitals need to be paid and the patients need to be treated we don't kill seniors to pay speculators and bank criminals why do you want to be stubborn why do you want to be different from other people we can take care of you you have a mortgage on your house we can take care of that and it's all perfectly legal i didn't take the money i took the starry to congress and the media your corporate ancestors took the impossible situation to franklin down to roosevelt and he took the story of your friends in the livery league to the people we got the goods on you and we are going to put two of you away for a long time the general would have had about the same effect today going to congress and the people right mr blitzkrieg when it's time to make pronouncements of the inevitability of war reflecting balanced and earnest concern for the public safety who you're going to call we all remember your performance and w s mission accomplished speech at the aircraft carrier spectacle his father needed public assuagement in the opening performance desert storm you could barely control your glee as you announced imminent victory over saddam hussein and total destruction of iraq if he didn't surrender immediately when i need to break the news that nearly half of the vets coming back from iraq and afghanistan suffer from p t s d post traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury and only half of them seek treatment who are going to call but you know wolf all great teams make changes and they try to keep their adversary off balance when the is becoming as tired as your mustache on the ellen degeneres show we've got a stunning new relief pitcher coming in now and his name is anderson cooper that's all we have time for tonight thank you both for as a desperate reaction to roosevelt and his american system policies one of the most outlandish british directed plots in modern history was planned j p morgan's john ross cobb was tasked to form a group to propagandize against roosevelt's policies this organization becoming active in most cities and states fervently attacked roosevelt with thousands of speeches and millions of pamphlets distributed across the nation the group was called the american liberty the objective of the league was to become the eventual administrator of a five hundred thousand man force which would storm the white house and overthrow president roosevelt the plan was to then establish a dictatorship which would immediately enact the economic austerity plans of young more shocks labor camps already being applied in nazi germany all they needed was a man with credit among the military legions to be discreet unfortunately for them the man they tried to seduce was a true american retired general smedley butler he knew the corruption of government and big business intimately from his past and refused to succumb to playing the role of an american hitler general butler contacted a trusted philadelphia publisher and by the time enough evidence was collected to substantiate the story but there took this block to the senate and as the press hit the stands the hearings began the plot was exposed hundred thousand men which would be able to take over the functions of government the defeat of this attempted coup was only another step in roosevelt's reestablishment of the strength of the us constitution as a living principle of government his response to the coup attempt was to further recruit the population to the approaching global war against fascism and poverty they oh do it anymore
