Disunited America Paul Craig Roberts Prior to the Democrats becoming the anti-American political party of Identity Politics, whites, blacks, and Puerto Ricans could laugh at themselves and at one another. Dean Martin turned a roast, in which good humored fun is poked at a prominent person, into mass entertainment. That blacks were equal opportunity targets was testimony to the success…

Who Does Government Serve? Whose interests are served when Pelosi sells out health care and Pompeo sells out peace? Paul Craig Roberts The US health system is the most high cost and dysfunctional health care system in the world. The reason is that it is privatized. In the rest of Western civilization the system is socialized. The reason health care…

Zbigniew Brzezinski as I Knew Him a repost from June 2, 2017 “When you hear a source called a ‘Russian agent,’ an ‘anti-semite,’ or a ‘conspiracy theorist,’ you had better listen to them. These are those in the know who accept arrow slings in order to tell you the truth.” I decided to repost this column for several reasons. One…

Venezuela Is An Opportunity For Russia And China To Change The World Paul Craig Roberts Nothing better illustrates Washington’s opposition to democracy and self-determination than the blatantly public coup Washington has organized against the properly elected president of Venezuela. Washington has been trying to overthrow the Venezuelan government for years. Washington wants the state owned oil company to be privatized…

Was Sammy Davis Jr a Self-Hating Black? Paul Craig Roberts Today on NPR a sorry excuse for a white male, who said he was a professor—pity the students—was sympathizing with the hurt that blacks feel when a white person puts on black face and dresses up like a black person. The professor said that this was not unique to Virginia…

Trump’s Speech: An Assessment Paul Craig Roberts Readers are requesting my take on President Trump’s state of the union speech. Briefly, judging by the polls taken by his hostile critics—CNN and CBS—the speech was very successful with 76% of the public expressing approval.

America Is Morally Lost Paul Craig Roberts Virginia’s Democratic governor Ralph Northam stands by his support of abortion up to the point of birth which apparently includes while the woman is delivering. “No, I don’t have any regrets,” he says. Northam says that women have the right to be executioners and should be able to determine whether their born-alive infant…

Washington Resurrected the Arms Race Paul Craig Roberts The meetings in Beijing during January 30-31 between Washington, Russia, China, France and the UK apparently failed to preserve the commitment to prohibit intermediate range nuclear weapons. Washington stuck to its determination to withdraw from the historic agreement of Reagan and Gorbachev to destroy all land-based intermediate range nuclear missiles. This US…

A Lawless Government Paul Craig Roberts I remember when a suspect was regarded as innocent until proven guilty in a fair trial. Today prosecutors convict their victims in the media in order to make an unbiased jury impossible and thereby coerce a plea bargain that saves the prosecutor from having to prove his case. In the United States law is…

The Delegitimization of the White Male Paul Craig Roberts We know that the white male has been delegitimized. Women’s studies, black studies, Latino studies, and Identity Politics have been demonizing, and teaching hatered of, white males since the 1980s. But where did these hate-filled special interest groups get their power? The answer is that effete white males handed it to…

The Exceptional Nation Asserts Its Exceptionalism Paul Craig Roberts Washington has chosen a president for Venezuela. I wonder if Trump saw the black humor in doing to Maduro what the Democrats and presstitutes are doing to him. Few Latin American governments have ever had a government that represents the majority indigenous people or a president who was not of Spanish…

Washington Has Appointed A President For Venezuela Paul Craig Roberts After listening since 2016 to the American presstitutes complain, without providing a mere scrap of evidence, of Russia meddling in US elections, a person would think that the last thing Washington would do would be to meddle in other countries’ elections. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Washington routinely meddles…

The Force Has Weakened Paul Craig Roberts Aging has its pros and cons. It brings wisdom to those open to it, and it can open one’s eyes to the fact that 45 and 50 year old women can be very attractive. The downside is that the Grim Reaper collects one’s friends until there are none left. I lost a dear…

If Walls Don’t Work, Why Did Castles Have Them? Paul Craig Roberts Indeed, why the Great Wall of China, why Hadrian’s Wall, why the Constantinople wall, why were there walled cities, why the Israeli Wall that keeps Palestinians out of Palestine?

Identity Politics = White Genocide Paul Craig Roberts The subversion of fact-based science and scholarship by the emotion-based ideology of Identity Politics is laying the groundwork for the genocide of white people.

Americans Need a Congress that Represents Americans Paul Craig Roberts US Senator Marco Rubio poses as a representative of Florida Republicans, but in truth he represents the interests of Israel.

The Authority of Science Has Been Undermined By Identity politics Paul Craig Roberts The quack Soviet “scientist” Trofim Lysenko used politics to destroy Soviet genetics.

The Latest Job Report Is Another Fiction There were not 312,000 new jobs created in December. Nevermind. Where does the Bureau of Labor Statistics tell us the jobs are.

Retail trade (possible as December is the Christmas…

When Guns Are Outlawed Only Outlaws Will Have Guns Paul Craig Roberts Guns are banned in the UK, but the black market is booming and criminals are loading up on firearms. https://www.investmentwatchblog.com/when-proggies-advocate-for-uk-style-gun-control-laws-show-them-this-police-struggle-to-stop-flood-of-firearms-into-uk/ I have often wondered what is the real agenda of gun ban advocates.

The Demise of the West: Part II Western Elites Are Anti-Democratic Paul Craig Roberts It is customary to speak of Western countries as democracies. In actual fact, the countries are oligarchies in which voting, which conveys the semblance that government is accountable to the people, seldom changes anything as elected officials are constrained by the power of organized interest groups.…

The World Known to Me Is Fading Away Paul Craig Roberts In a few hours it will be another new year, 2019.

Now I find myself 35…

Blessed Are The Warmongers Paul Craig Roberts As life on planet Earth enters its recorded year of 2019 the world has only one leader. He is Vladimir Putin, President of Russia.

The Myth of Western Democracy Paul Craig Roberts How does the West get away with its pretense of being an alliance of great democracies in which government is the servant of the people? Nowhere in the West, except possibly Hungary and Austria, does government serve the people. Who do the Western governments serve? Washington serves Israel, the military/security complex, Wall…

Trump Has Been Broken by the Military/Security Complex Paul Craig Roberts In order to protect himself from the military/security complex, President Trump has abandoned his intention of normalizing relations with Russia. Just as the neoconservative ideology needs US hegemony, the military/security complex needs an enemy to justify the $1,000 billion annual budget. The Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes…

The Offended Majority Paul Craig Roberts For too many decades the American people, by which I mean the people born and raised in the US in neighborhoods where there were family and neighbors who shared a culture, language, values, and history, have sat tolerantly while a tiny percentage of the population took away their culture by making it offensive to…

The Disintegration of Western Society Paul Craig Roberts Radical feminists are now being banned by Twitter not because they hate men, which is perfectly OK as far as Twitter is concerned, but because they object to “transwomen.” What is a “transwoman?” As far as I can understand, a “transwoman” is a male with a penis who declares himself to be…

Revenge Is Mine Saith Washington Paul Craig Roberts Justice has disappeared in the West. In Justice’s place stands Revenge.
