The Global Economy Can Kill Us In More Ways Than One Paul Craig Roberts 61 years ago Walter M. Miller Jr. published A Canticle for Leibowitz.  The story spans thousands of years as humans rebuild civilization after a devastating nuclear war.  Among the episodes is a conflict between warring nomads and a settled people who rely on cunning instead of…

A Failed Impeachment Still Serves Democrats Paul Craig Roberts In yesterday’s column, “Making Sense of the Impeachment Charges,” I pointed out that the three impeachments of presidents by the House of Representatives were political acts.  Only in the case of Bill Clinton was there a real offense.  Clinton did lie under oath.  However, the Senate did not regard lying about…

Making Sense of the Impeachment Charges Paul Craig Roberts Prior to the impeachment of Trump, not by Congress as presstitutes report but by self-interested House Democrats, during the entirety of US history there have been only two attempts to impeach a president—Andrew Johnson in 1868 and 130 years later Bill Clinton in 1998.  Clinton was impeached by House Republicans when…

Remarks on the US/China “Trade Deal” Paul Craig Roberts The first thing to understand is that it is not a trade deal.  It is Trump backing off his tariffs when he discovered that the tarrifs fall on US goods and American consumers, not on China.  Trump is covering his retraction by calling it a trade deal.  China’s part of the…

Disunity Is Now America’s Leading Characteristic Paul Craig Roberts The Old Dominion (the Commonwealth of Virginia) produced the most important members of our Founding Fathers and two of the most successful military leaders in history, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but has somehow managed to elect a nutcase for its current governor. His name is Ralph Northam, and he…

The Machines Have Us Trained for Obedience Paul Craig Roberts Many decades ago there was an issue of Mad comics that portrayed a future time when everything was done by robots and humans had no function.  One day the system failed.

The Real Cause of World War II Was the Allies Deception of Germany with the 1918 Armistice and the Subsequent Versailles Treaty Paul Craig Roberts John Wear and many other historians including David Irving have shown Churchill and Roosevelt’s guilt for World War II.  Suvorov has made a strong case that Stalin also was guilty.  https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/01/13/rescuing-the-history-of-world-war-ii-wear-vs-suvorov/  The guilt of these…

The Iranian Protests Are a Washington Orchestration Paul Craig Roberts It is difficult to know who is the most stupid, the protesting Iranian students or the Iranian government. The Iranian government, like the governments of Russia and China, permits NGOs financed by their Washington and British enemies, to operate in Iran.  Insouciant, indeed stupid, Iranian students receive money, encouragement, organization,…

Rescuing the History of World War II : Wear vs. Suvorov Paul Craig Roberts The fourth chapter of John Wear’s book, Germany’s War is now posted.  The evidence is overwhelming that it was Roosevelt and Churchill who were determined to have war with Germany and not Germany who wanted war with the Anglo-Saxons. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/01/13/germanys-war-chapter-4-the-allied-conspiracy-to-instigate-prolong-wwii/  Hitler made many peace overtures to…

The Danger In Threats Paul Craig Roberts The high tensions caused by Washington between the US and Iran are to blame for the Ukrainian airliner that was shot down. “Human error at a time of crisis caused by US adventurism led to disaster.”  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/stunning-reversal-iran-admits-accidentally-shooting-down-ukrainian-passenger-jet#comment_stream  Just as the Iranian commander misinterpreted the airliner’s maneuver as a strike on a military base,…

Remarks on Right-wing Talk Radio Paul Craig Roberts Over the course of my life as a university professor, government official, business consultant, president of a community water company and editor and journalist for national and international publications, I have learned that a majority of people cannot think outside the indoctrination they received that formed their biases.  If you provide them…

Update:  I have figured out what CNN is up to.  It turns out that the American Free Press is the publisher of John Wear’s revisionist book, Germany’s War, a disapproved of book.  The American Free Press is disapproved of, and I am disapproved of for serializing Wear’s book, a redundant exercise I have learned as the book, published 6 years…

The New Politics of Sex Paul Craig Roberts Several years ago four of us who were high school and Georgia Tech classmates got together for a reunion to remember the fun times of our youth while we could still remember.  A day or two before our reunion there had been one of those massive “gay pride” marches in New York…

  Update:  It is now clear that by demonstrating the accuracy of its missiles, Iran has caused Washington and Israel to de-escalate after years of making dire threats against Iran. The State of the Iranian Crisis Paul Craig Roberts Readers are asking my take on the Iranian retaliation and Trump’s response.  I think a deal might have been arranged between…

The Justice Department Is Devoid of Justice Paul Craig Roberts In the United States the criminal justice (sic) system is itself not subject to law.  We see immunity to law continually as police commit felonies against citizens and even murder children and walk away free.  We see it all the time when prosecutors conduct political prosecutions and when they prosecute…

American Leadership Is Discredited — Will a New Leader Step Forward? Paul Craig Roberts This morning (January 7) Pompeo, the embarrassment we suffer as our Secretary of State, was on TV promising to “confront and contain” Iran.  A political general was featured declaring that he had seen the intelligence reports and was certain that the murder of Soleimani had stopped…

Putin Should Take Control of the Iranian Situation Out of Israel’s Hands Paul Craig Roberts At this time, it is up to Israel whether or not war occurs between the US and Iran.  Israel very much wants this war as a means of putting Iran and Syria into chaos, thus leaving Hezbollah isolated and unsupplied.  Then Israel can succeed in…

Rescuing World War II History Paul Craig Roberts The American Free Press has published a book by John Wear titled Germany’s War: The Origins, Aftermath & Atrocities of World War II.

Putin’s Hour Is At Hand was published in the Russian press Monday morning, January 6, 2020. Putin’s Hour Is At Hand Paul Craig Roberts Vladimir Putin is the most impressive leader on the world stage.  He survived and arose from a Russia corrupted by Washington and Israel during the Yeltsin years and reestablished Russia as a world power.  He dealt…

Putin Will Restrain Iranian Retaliation Paul Craig Roberts A number of intelligent analysts predict Iranian retaliation for Washington’s murder of a high Iranian official who was in Iraq on a diplomatic mission.  I understand their logic.  However, I wonder. Putin doesn’t want war.  Why should he when Washington’s arrogance is destroying the US and the empire.  Even Germany has had…

War Again on the Front Burner Paul Craig Roberts The nonsensical statement below from the Pentagon announcing that the US government has committed an act of war against Iran should frighten everyone: “At the direction of the president, the US military has taken decisive defensive action to protect US personnel abroad by killing Qasem Soleimani, the head of the Islamic…

The External Costs of Human Activity Are Killing the Planet Paul Craig Roberts Humans are exterminating themselves by exterminating other life forms.

Trump’s Letter to Pelosi Paul Craig Roberts The Saker has posted President Trump’s letter to Nancy Pelosi with his commentary https://thesaker.is/very-important-letter-from-donald-trump-to-nancy-pelosi-must-read/ . I agree with Saker that Trump’s impression of the good condition of the US economy is largely a mirage produced by official statistics that have long been unreliable. The bad data fed to Trump is not his fault.…

The Problem of Wikipedia Paul Craig Roberts Over the course of my life I have watched integrity shrivel up and die everywhere in the Western world. It is not like it was ever really abundant, but there was a goodly amount of it, and it had authority. People, especially those in public life, weren’t shameless as they are today. In…

The Democrats Have the Country on a Slippery Slope Paul Craig Roberts The fake “whistleblower’s name— Eric Ciamerella—has been known for a long time, but not officially. Now it is official.
