Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: US Police State Masquerades as A Democracy


Americans, the British, and Western Europeans are accustomed to thinking of themselves as the representatives of freedom, democracy, and morality in the world. The West passes judgment on the rest of the world as if the West is God and the rest of the world are barbarians in need of chastisement, invasion, and occupation. As readers know, from time to time I raise questions about the validity of the West’s extreme hubris. www.paulcraigroberts.org www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv twitter.com www.facebook.com

  1. Thank you, Dr. Roberts, for being one of the few opinion leaders in this country to call out our nation for the thuggish Gangster State that it is increasingly becoming.

  3. The reason the majority of Americans live in the Matrix is because their being continually brainwashed by the media democracy engine (the media brainwash apparatus) and as long as people hold onto their love for TV and movies things are only going to get worse.

  4. When I was a teenager (back in the early 60′s) my dad told me that when he was a kid during the depression there was nothing to do so everybody went to the movies. In order to mollify the population he government subsidized the movie theaters so it only cost a nickel to go to the movies. He said that some advertisers started experimenting with subliminal advertising via movies and they used Lucky Strike cigarettes as one of their first experiments. They subliminally flashed ‘Lucky Strike Cigarettes’ on the screen during the movies and Lucky Strike Cigarette sales went out the roof. He said Congress found out about it and made them stop doing it. That was then this is now and now the government is doing it, probably in just about everything people see on TV and movies.
