The Unraveling of American/Russian Relations Paul Craig Roberts Dear Readers: I agree that the official Las Vegas story seems to be unraveling. A public mass shooting should be transparent, not opaque. I think we explored the story long enough to discover that without knowing the facts, we cannot arrive at an explanation with confidence. It is time to move on…

Curtain Down On Las Vegas Shooting Paul Craig Roberts Dear Readers, I appreciate all of your supportive comments about my efforts to tell the real from the fake elements in the Las Vegas shooting information.

An American Trauma Surgeon Responds: Dear Dr. Roberts: This note is in response to your invitation for medical professionals to comment on the LV shootings with respect to the authenticity of the publicly available videos and whether they prove or disprove that actual victims were injured or killed.

UPDATE: This from a UK trauma surgeon: I write in full agreement with my surgical colleague in Florida, Dr KS. A retired orthopaedic and trauma surgeon who served in our NHS.

The Mystery Deepens Paul Craig Roberts UPDATE: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/10/10/update-uk-trauma-surgeon/ Forensic Acoustic Analysis Points to Existence of a Second Shooter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxmEFeKy8aI This analysis seems to make sense. If it has been done correctly, it is evidence of a second Las Vegas shooter. It is evidence not only of two sets of gunshots but of bullets hitting the ground from two different distances.…

And Now We Have This From Zero Hedge: “Now, providing further impetus to the speculation that Paddock was not alone, NBC News reports, citing senior law enforcement officials, that investigators are speculating that someone else may have been in the Las Vegas gunman’s hotel room when he was registered there. According to NBC, the investigators are ‘puzzled’ by two discoveries: First,…

A reader sent me the YouTube video under a different URL. It is the video removed from YouTube to which my article linked showing what seems to be crisis actors carrying people into a hospital.

Hard Censorship Hits the Internet US Media Credibility Collapses Paul Craig Roberts According to this report, YouTube has shut down all independent media coverage of the Las Vegas shooting in a desperate maneuver to protect the official narrative. https://www.naturalnews.com/2017-10-06-youtube-moves-to-shut-down-all-independent-media-coverage-of-las-vegas-shooting-desperate-maneuver-to-protect-the-official-narrative.html I cannot attest to the truth of this report.

UPDATE: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/10/08/hard-censorship-hits-internet/ Las Vegas Final Comment Dear Readers, some of you keep pushing me for an explanation of the Las Vegas event. I have no contacts with people who might be involved in US covert operations. Some of you think that since I “was there with Reagan,” I know everything about what goes on in government. This is not the…

Las Vegas Dear Readers: to reiterate, I do not know what happened in Las Vegas and do not expect to be able to find out. I understand that this is a subject of interest to you, but I have no explanation for you. My own opinion is that, if it were a staged operation, authorities responsible will put out many…

Las Vegas Shooting Paul Craig Roberts Dear Readers, I appreciate the confidence that you show in me with your emails asking my opinion about the Las Vegas shooting. Many of you suspect that it is another false flag affair, and you ask me about its purpose. I don’t know if it was a false flag attack, and if so, by…

Whose Bright Idea Was RussiaGate? Paul Craig Roberts The answer to the question in the title of this article is that Russiagate was created by CIA director John Brennan.The CIA started what is called Russiagate in order to prevent Trump from being able to normalize relations with Russia.

Your website needs your support Patriotism Is A Two-Edged Sword Paul Craig Roberts UPDATE: Louisiana state Representative Kenneth Havard informed me that he voted against the taxpayer subsidy to the pro-football team.

Dear Readers: This is your website. It needs your support. What Can Be Done?

Support Your Website Trump’s UN Speech Paul Craig Roberts I listened to part of Trump’s UN speech this morning. I was so embarrassed for him and for my country that I had to turn it off.

An Economic Lesson for China and Russia Paul Craig Roberts Is there anyone in Trump’s government who is not an imbecile?

16th Anniversary of 9/11 Brings New Development Paul Craig Roberts Dr. Leroy Hulsey, a distinguished engineering authority presented his team’s preliminary report report on the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.

Laughing on the Way to Armageddon Paul Craig Roberts The United States shows the world such a ridiculous face that the world laughs at us. The latest spin on “Russia stole the election” is that Russia used Facebook to influence the election. The NPR women yesterday were breathless about it. We have been subjected to ten months of propaganda about…

Dear Russia: An Enemy Is Not A Partner Paul Craig Roberts Russians are concerned about Washington’s arbitrary closing of their San Francisco consulate and the illegal searching of diplomatic properties. There is no question that Washington has violated diplomatic protections and international law. Why did Washington show its outlaw face to the world? Was it to show that as strong…

The Vanishing American Dream Paul Craig Roberts Today is Labor Day, a difficult day to celebrate now that American labor has been cast aside and US jobs offshored and given to foreigners. The remainder of the jobs is slated to be replaced by robotics. Friday’s payroll jobs report was full of bad news. Full-time jobs declined by 166,000. The meager…

Robert E. Lee’s Ubiquitous Presence Paul Craig Roberts We are going to have to do far more than take down Robert E. Lee’s statue. We have to close the US Military Academy at West Point. Not only was Lee a West Point graduate, but in 1962 the U.S. Army named the West Point barracks after Robert E. Lee. Two New…

THE WEAPONIZATION OF HISTORY AND JOURNALISM we don’t need no stinkin’ facts Paul Craig Roberts In the United States, facts, an important element of truth, are not important. They are not important in the media, politics, universities, historical explanations, or the courtroom. Non-factual explanations of the collapse of three World Trade Center buildings are served up as the official explanation.…

Conspiracy Theory Paul Craig Roberts In the United States “conspiracy theory” is the name given to explanations that differ from those that serve the ruling oligarchy, the establishment or whatever we want to call those who set and control the agendas and the explanations that support the agendas. The explanations imposed on us by the ruling class are themselves conspiracy…

How We Know The So-Called “Civil War” Was Not Over Slavery Paul Craig Roberts When I read Professor Thomas DiLorenzo’s article ( http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2017/08/21/lincoln-myth-ideological-cornerstone-america-empire/ ) the question that lept to mind was, “How come the South is said to have fought for slavery when the North wasn’t fighting against slavery?” Two days before Lincoln’s inauguration as the 16th President, Congress, consisting…

What We Learned From Charlottesville Paul Craig Roberts We learned, although we already knew it, that the US media has no integrity. We learned that the liberal/progressive/left holds fast to myths that justify hate. We learned that misrepresentation is the hallmark of American history. We learned that some websites that we thought were brave are not. We learned that Identity…

Trump and American History Have Been Assassinated Paul Craig Roberts When Trump was elected I wrote that it was unlikely that he would be successful in accomplishing the three objectives for which he was elected—peace with Russia, the return home of offshored US jobs, and effective limits on non-white immigration—because these objectives conflicted with the interests of those more powerful…

The Camp of the Saints Paul Craig Roberts The liberal/progressives, lost as they are in their emotionalism, do not realize that their rantings about white supremacists are also discrediting themselves and not merely their foes. The rest of the world doesn’t differentiate between good whites and bad whites. As one reader who wrote to me from India said, “All whites…

A House Divided Against Itself Cannot Stand Paul Craig Roberts The liberal/progressive/left are enjoying their drunkfest of denunciation. I can’t say I have ever witnessed anything like it. These are the people who sat on their hands for 16 years while Washington destroyed in whole or part seven countries. Not being satisfied with this level of warmongering and crimes against…

Charlottesville 2 Paul Craig Roberts What the liberal/progressive/left is trying to do with Charlottesville is to associate Trump supporters with White Supremacists and in this way demonize Trump supporters so that they will not have a voice when Trump is overthrown in a coup. Or it can be put in a different way: Charlottesville is being used by someone to…

In America Propaganda Has Vanquished Truth Paul Craig Roberts In Durham, North Carolina, the seat of Duke University, a gang of largely white males destroyed public property by pulling down a statue of a Confederate soldier.

If only we had a real left-wing instead of poseurs who suck their thumbs and lie A few ignorant morons, claiming to be liberal/progressive/left, have sent emails claiming that all of the authors whose works I listed are Nazis and Hitler-lovers. Nothing could be further from the truth. What these brainwashed morons are demonstrating is their contemptible moral, intellectual and…

Charlottesville Paul Craig Roberts Listening to NPR this morning confirmed what I already knew. Charlottesville is being turned into another nail in President Trump’s coffin. NPR had no interest whatsoever in reporting the actual facts about what had occurred in Charlottesville. The several “interviews” with the like-minded were orchestrated to produce the desired propaganda result: It was all Trump’s fault.…
