Sutton makes it clear that his book "is not an indictment of all American industry and finance. It is an indictment of the "apex" -- those firms controlled through the handful of financial houses, the Federal Reserve Bank system, the Bank for International Settlements, and their continuing international cooperative arrangements and cartels which attempt to control the course of world politics and economics."
That WW II was a 'good war,' a clear fight against what a madman had brought about, has been a major and fundamental deception solidified in Wall Street owned media and movies. World War Two represented the most profitable investment ever made. When WW II ended, the only major industrial plant standing was that owned by Wall Street. Wall Street and the US government Wall Street controlled, had become the first single world superpower in history. A further boon for Wall Street was that the cities of Wall Street's designated archenemy, socialist model USSR, lay half in ruins with twenty-seven million of its citizens dead, which represented nearly half of all the deaths during all of WW II in Europe, Africa and Asia. Seven years before the outbreak of WWII, during this rearming of Nazi Germany, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the last aristocratic insider US President, wrote to his confidant Colonel House "as you and I know, this government has been owned by a financial element in the centers of power since the days of Andrew Jackson." (Jackson was US president a hundred years earlier).
With the American public still captivated by the entertainment & hyped news on their TV screens, it's easy for Wall Street owned media to drum up war against a devilish Russia in order to mask angelic America's military destroying and exterminating whole nations with the help of US financed terrorists, some labeled freedom fighters. However, the rise of the emerging economies of the plundered nations of overwhelmingly majority humanity will cause predatory USA to soon lose its economic, political, and eventually even its military hegemony, and new sources of TV entertainment and news will number the days the US and NATO can continue getting away with prosecutable genocides by the dozen.
Remember the days when the USA killed communists by the millions of men, women and children? An intelligently run, confident communist China is about to replace the capitalist USA as the world's most influential nation (as it once was for two thousand years).
Even before the US and Europe lose control of international institutions like the World Trade Organization and a reconstituted United Nations and its courts, its monopoly cartel of six giant entertainment and news conglomerate corporations will have lost its grip on even its US audience, which will have the choice of tuning in on multiple channels that will provide more interesting entertainment and more truthful news and information.
These new sources of entertainment and information will not be beholden to Wall Street investors in the US financial military industrial complex and not be tasked to defend the genocides Wall Street produces.
Post Script:
Why have Soviet leaders and writers, even during the onslaught of lies in anti-Soviet propaganda during the Cold War, never held the West responsible for WW II in having rearmed Germany, intending (as Hitler's threatened) the destruction of the USSR? This has been a mystery to this archival research peoples historian. All the investments and joint venturing of US (and European) corporations building up Hitler's Wehrmacht to the world's number one military in only six years are documented in both business records and the tax records of US, German and other nations and are in great part located on the Internet with quite comprehensive statistics.
The only plausible answer that occurs to those of us investigating, is the shame of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. However, given the obviousness of the colonial powers heavily arming Nazi Germany under such a pathetic excuse as to make Nazi Germany only a "bulwark against communist Soviet Union," and then refusing all entreaties of the Soviets to form an protective alliance in the face of Hitler's ever increasing belligerence, Stalin's surprise signing a non-aggression pact seems like a last resort defense of Russia.
Were the Soviets to wait for Hitler's attack, openly prepared by US, UK and France's rearming of Germany against the terms of the Versailles Treaty, while Hitler openly threatened anti-socialist, anti-communist, anti-Soviet plans, emphasizing Germany's need for 'Lebensraum' ('living space') and threatening to make Germany's 19th century motto 'Drang Nach Osten' ('push to the East') a term designating German expansion into Slavic lands, a reality.
In 2009, Vladimir Putin, then the Russian Prime Minister, condemned the Nazi-Soviet pact as "immoral," but said France and the UK had destroyed any chance for an anti-fascist front with the Munich Agreement. On November 6, 2014, UK's Daily Telegraph headlined "Vladimir Putin says there was nothing wrong with Soviet Union's pact with Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany" By Tom Parfitt, Moscow. "At a meeting with young historians in Moscow, Putin urged them to examine the lead-up to the war. Mr Putin said that Western historians today try to "hush up" the 1938 Munich Agreement, in which France and Britain -- led by Neville Chamberlain, the prime minister -- appeased Adolf Hitler by acquiescing to his occupation of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland. 'Compromise with an aggressor in the form of Hitlerite Germany was clearly leading to a large-scale future military conflict, and some people understood that.'"
In his book, Mission to Moscow, (later a film as well), US ambassador to Russia from 1936 to 1938 Joseph Davies chronicles the desperation of the Russians in 1937, unable to get a defensive alliance with England and France, and fully aware that the rearming of Germany was directed at the Soviet Union most certainly not meant to be only a 'bulwark.' By the surprise non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany, Stalin derailed for the moment the West's plan to have Hitler invade the USSR. This gained the Soviet Union the time to build the tanks in the East that would later defeat the Nazi invasion. What Hitler called "a war of extermination" in Western Poland began only one week after the signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. Hitler would again call for "a war of extermination" with the German invasion of the USSR, June 22, 1941, and at the same time called for the eradication of Jews.. All the German crimes, the crimes that were committed by Stalin and those committed by the US and Britain in fire bombing entire cities happened during the world war that was made possible by the enthusiastic rearming of Germany for a singular purpose. When we recall films and photos of skies filled with warplanes, of seas filled with warships and of thousands of tanks engaged in deathly conflict on land, we best remember a lot of upper class people in business suits were gleefully counting their profits from investments in the manufacture of weapons, uniforms, munitions and coffins. World War One was the same. World War Three wouldn't be any different, and those trillions of dollars invested for years in incomprehensibly massive amounts of ever more high tech weapons of mass destruction, both nuclear and non nuclear, must be a force in itself driving everything and everyone before it, just as did those millions of dollars invested in war in 1914 and those billions of dollars invested in war during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
'A word to the wise could be sufficient' if only there were enough people sufficiently interested in using the law to protect all the precious children in the world as their own.
