The Costs of 9/11 Continue to Mount Paul Craig Roberts This is the 17th anniversary of 9/11.

What Should Putin Do? Paul Craig Roberts Andrei Martyanov http://www.unz.com/article/russia-as-a-cat/ has answered my question https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/08/31/can-war-be-avoided-and-the-planet-saved/ . I agree with everything Martyanov says. But I believe my question remains unanswered. Probably it is my fault. Perhaps I framed the question so sharply that it came across as an attack on Putin’s level-headed policy. Also, my use of the phrase “turning the…

Washington’s Belligerence Can Produce A World Holocaust Paul Craig Roberts Recently I have been receiving a number of requests for my opinion of the Jewish holocaust.

Watching America Collapse Existence is running out for America Paul Craig Roberts In the 1950s and 1960s the United States was a vibrant society. Upward mobility was strong, and the middle class expanded. During the 1970s the internal contradiction in Keynesian demand management resulted in stagflation.
