The Assange/Manning Cases Discredit US and UK Justice Systems In my explanation today ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/05/20/the-assange-manning-cases-have-discredited-america/ ) of Assange’s case, I noted corruption in the British court’s ruling.  Former British Ambassador Craig Murray indentifies the corrupt act committed by the British judge, Lord Phillips.  The ambassador’s explanation is here:  https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/05/the-missing-step/ 

UPDATE: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/05/20/the-assange-manning-cases-discredit-us-and-uk-justice-systems/  The Assange/Manning Cases Discredit Humanity The rule of law has given way to law as a weapon in the hands of government Paul Craig Roberts Everyone who is aware of the US government’s extraordinary criminal actions at home and abroad bears a heavy weight.  The millions of peoples murdered, maimed, orphaned, widowed, and displaced by gratuitous American military…

The Tariff Issue Paul Craig Roberts Wherever I look at US policy, foreign or domestic, I see only insanity, ignorance, and incompetence. Take the issue of tariffs, which is Trump’s mistaken approach to bringing the jobs back home. The tariff “solution” overlooks that offshored US production counts as imports when US firms bring their goods into the US to be…

The Lies About World War II Paul Craig Roberts  In the aftermath of a war, history cannot be written. The losing side has no one to speak for it.  Historians on the winning side are constrained by years of war propaganda that demonized the enemy while obscuring the crimes of the righteous victors.  People want to enjoy and feel good…

Trump Is Being Set-up for War with Iran Paul Craig Roberts Trump destroyed his chance at being a successful president by the stupid appointments he has made.  At the moment he is being set up by his national security advisor John Bolton and Israel for a war with Iran. Using the same format of lies that was used against Iraq,…

The Lies That Form Our Consciousness and False Historical Awareness Paul Craig Roberts My generation associated dystopias, such as George Orwell’s 1984, with the Soviet Union, a country in which explanations were controlled and criticism of Stalin would land a person in the Gulag.  We thought of the United States and our life here much differently. But with the passage…

Does Trump Have Control of His Government, or Is It His Government? Paul Craig Roberts I smell a rat.  John Bolton, Trump’s national security adviser or, more correctly, Israel’s agent, has assembled a team consisting of himself, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Emirati crown prince Mohammed bin Zayed, and Saudi ruler Mohammed bin Salman. These men are Iran’s four worst…

Are You Ready for a Worse Dystopia than 1984 ? Paul Craig Roberts I have been lonely in my concern with the dire economic implications of robotics, but now Clarity Press has provided me with some company by publishing The Artificial Intelligence Contagion by David Barnhizer and Daniel Barnhizer.  It is telling as to the irrelevance of the economics profession…

America Needs A Debt Jubilee Paul Craig Roberts As school children my friends and I were very interested in archaeology and ancient civilizations. We read all the available books. My best friend intended to become an archaeologist and to explore ancient ruins about which we imagined more than we actually knew.   As far as I can discern these days…

The US Desperately Needs a New Secretary of State Paul Craig Roberts The ignorant warmonger masquerading as an American Secretary of State should be arrested for his impersonation of an American government official.  Mike Pompeo cannot possibly be the US Secretary of State, because not even Donald Trump would appoint an idiot to this high position who thinks that Article…

  Update:  It appears to be the case that the majority of white immigrants into the  American British colonies between the years 1630 and the American Revolution in 1776 were slaves or indentured slaves who often remained slaves beyond their term.  In other words, depending on the death rates of white slaves, most white Americans today are descendants of former…

apres moi le deluge Paul Craig Roberts I was listening while driving to rightwing talk radio.  It is BS just like NPR.  It was about the great Trump economy compared to the terrible Obama one.  The US hasn’t had a great economy since jobs offshoring began in the 1990s, and with robotics about to launch Americans are unlikely ever again…

Does America Have an Economy or Any Sense of Reality? Paul Craig Roberts We are having a propaganda barrage about the great Trump economy. We have been hearing about the great economy for a decade while the labor force participation rate declined, real family incomes stagnated, and debt burdens rose.  The economy has been great only for large equity owners…

Insights from the Cast-Iron Shore Paul Craig Roberts In my column last New Year’s eve, “The World Known to Me Is Fading Away” (https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/12/31/the-world-known-to-me-is-fading-away/), I recalled a past era when a poor Irish boy in a class society in which the English treated the Irish worst than blacks were treated in the United States could rise without the burden of…

Humpty Dumpty Has Had a Great Fall Paul Craig Roberts While the crazed and corrupt people who comprise the Democratic Party and US print and TV media continue to insist that Russiagate is real, a very real threat is emerging in Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran. The threat arises from the fact that Washington has taught each country to…

Washington Has Destroyed Western Liberty The Era of Tyranny Has Begun Paul Craig Roberts A fish rots from the head. In the Western world rot is accelerating. The rot in Washington is swiftly spreading to state and local governments and abroad to the Empire’s vassal governments. Washington’s attack on journalism represented by the illegal arrest of Julian Assange has now…

The Orchestration of Russiaphobia Is The Prelude To War Paul Craig Roberts The Russian Embassy in Washington has prepared an accurate 121-page report, THE RUSSIAGATE HYSTERIA: A CASE OF SEVERE RUSSOPHOBIA. https://washington.mid.ru/upload/iblock/3c3/3c3d1e3b69a4c228e99bfaeb5491ecd7.pdf Everyone should read this report. It documents the fake news, lies, violations of diplomatic standards and international law, and gratuitous aggressive actions taken against Russia during the period…

The Three Purposes of Russiagate Paul Craig Roberts Russiagate has three purposes. One is to prevent President Trump from endangering the vast budget and power of the military/security complex by normalizing relations with Russia. Another, in the words of James Howard Kunstler, is “to conceal the criminal conduct of US government officials meddling in the 2016 election in collusion with…

The Triumph of Evil Paul Craig Roberts Today (April 17) I heard a NPR “news” report that described the democratically elected president of Venezuela as “the Venezuelan dictator Maduro.” By repeating over and over that a democratically elected president is a dictator, the presstitutes create that image of Maduro in the minds of vast numbers of peoples who know nothing…

The Fake Charge Against Julian Assange Proves That the US Government Has No Integrity Paul Craig Roberts “If Julian Assange is criminalized and incarcerated for revealing the truth about what our rulers are doing, have done, then you might as well deliver yourself behind those walls, you might as well volunteer for a prison cell yourself, because you’ll no longer…

Russian Military Expert Says Time for Russia to Prepare for War Paul Craig Roberts Someone should speak to the Russian finance minister, Anton Siluanov, and put him in touch with reality. According to a RT news report, Siluanov has called for restoring economic and political ties between Moscow and Washington. Ties between the US and Russia were intentionally wrecked on…

April 15 Is Slavery Day Paul Craig Roberts The Jews’ path to profitable victimhood was the Holocaust. For blacks the path is slavery. We hear endlessly about Slavery. Slavery is always the fault of white people, especially the Founding Fathers, the Confederacy, and Robert E. Lee. Slavery is never the fault of black Africans who engaged in slave wars against…

The Age of Injustice Paul Craig Roberts April 11, 2019, brought us a new word for Judas: Moreno—the puppet president of Ecuador who sold Julian Assange to Washington for his 30 pieces of silver. This morning’s arrest of Assange inside the Ecudoran embassy in London is the first stage in Washington’s attempt to criminalize the First Amendment to the U.S.…

The Problem With Wikipedia and the Digital Revolution Paul Craig Roberts Yesterday (April 10, 2019) a reader alerted me to the fact that I am being smeared on Wikipedia as a “vocal supporter of the current Russian government and its policies.” The reader also reports that an article in the Daily Beast calls me a “Putin worshiper.” The reader says…

America Is No Longer A Nation Paul Craig Roberts The America in which I grew up and lived my early adult life was a nation. Over the course of my life I have watched my country turn into a Tower of Babel. Homogeneity and shared values permitted us to understand one another. This doesn’t mean that there was uniformity or…

Identity Politics Smears Robert E. Lee Paul Craig Roberts Robert E. Lee has been dead for 150 years, but the Identity Politics freaks can’t leave him alone. The latest attack on Lee is by CounterPunch music writer Lee Ballinger reviewing a one-sided and utterly false book by John Reeves with the biased title of “The Lost Indictment of Robert E.…

How Real Is White Supremacy? Paul Craig Roberts I don’t share the interest many have in the reported mass shootings. However, there are wider issues associated with the shootings, and I do find these issues interesting. For example, mass shootings are a relatively new occurrence. I believe the first was in 1966 at the University of Texas when a former…

The Growing Opposition To Factual Knowledge News From Information Clearing House I just heard from Tom Feeley: “I have been unable to determine why the website has been  suspended, I have sent lots of, emails, telephone calls and faxes and have not received any response. “The really frustrating thing is that I am locked out of the C panel and…

Where Is The World Headed? Paul Craig Roberts Since 2016 the United States has been in the Russiagate box, a hoax created by the US military/security complex to prevent President Trump from normalizing relations with Russia.  Normalized relations would devalue THE RUSSIAN THREAT, an orchestration that protects the $1,000 billion annual budget of the military/security complex.   The Democratic Party,…

Child Protective Service Created A Gestapo Police State Paul Craig Roberts https://www.theorganicprepper.com/unvaccinated-children-torn-from-parents-in-horrifying-late-night-swat-raid/ My generation and that of our children grew up without Child Protective Service (CPS).  We stand up very well compared to subsequent generations.   Child Protective Services is an extremely intrusive government agency that would not have been tolerated.  The power of this police agency trumps parental rights…

The Democrats Are Self-Destructing Paul Craig Roberts The Democrats cannot stop making fools of themselves.  Thom Hartmann is an example. He writes for Common Dreams and has a progressive talk radio program.  During the George W. Bush regime I was a frequent guest on his program.  It was OK to tell the truth about the Bush regime’s  deceits and illegal…

Jussie Smollett Allowed To Walk Free  But Not Manning or Assange Paul Craig Roberts The black actor, Justin Smollett, who staged and falsely reported to the Chicago police an attack on him by white supremacist Trump supporters wearing MAGA hats who allegedly put a rope around his neck, was arrested on 16 felony accounts carrying 48 years in prison for…

Ukrainian Security Official Says Ukraine Shot Down MH-17  Paul Craig Roberts 298 Passengers and crew were murdered by Ukraine in order to create a propaganda attack on Russia.  The filth that comprise the Western media and governments hid the truth for the sake of Washington’s anti-Russian propaganda.   The security official says that his suspicions were aroused by “the amazingly…

Trump Is Netanyahu’s Man  and the US Media Are Imbeciles Paul Craig Roberts As I said, Trump is America’s first Zionist president.  But apparently Trump does not understand that a declaration he signs giving Golan Heights to Israel has no authority under international law.  I doubt many others will prostitute themselves in this way, so all Trump has achieved is…

Now We Will Find Out If Trump Is Really The President Or Merely A Figurehead Paul Craig Roberts What can we conclude from the utter and total failure of the Russiagate “investigation” to find any evidence of “Russian collusion”? We can conclude that it was a hoax cooked up by an utterly corrupt and immoral military/security complex determined to protect…

Trump Is America’s First Zionist President Paul Craig Roberts It is impossible not to feel some sympathy for President Donald Trump.  His agenda to restore normal relations with Russia and to end Washington’s gratuitous wars has been frustrated by the “Russiagate hoax” that the military/security complex and corrupt Democratic Party used in the effort to remove Trump from the presidency. …

The Difficulty of Writing for Americans Paul Craig Roberts Writing for Americans, unless for their entertainment, is a challenging undertaking.  One reason is that many, especially of the younger generations, no longer have a concept of objective truth. For them “truth” is simply a bias reflecting one’s race, gender, upbringing or predisposition.  Emotion overwhelms fact. Biases are not considered to…

In America Truth Is On The Ropes Is a knockout on the way? Paul Craig Roberts Morris Dees, founder and director of the Southern Poverty Law Center, an element of the Israel Lobby that smears and demeans truth-tellers, was fired. The article reporting Dees’ removal speculates that he was fired for sexual harassment.  More likely he was fired for having…

Microsoft Workers Protest War Profiteering Be Interesting to see if they all are fired Paul Craig Roberts A global coalition of employees of the Microsoft Corporation is demanding that a contract for work with the U.S. Army be dropped. Some employees —I don’t know the percentage—have sent an open letter to both the CEO and the president/chief legal officer of…

Will the Censors Win? Paul Craig Roberts The Internet is seen as a savior that will take over the function of honest reporting and free speech now that the print and TV media and NPR serve as the Ministry of Propaganda.  This is true only if people migrate from Google, Facebook, Twitter, and so forth, to the alternatives that do…

SUPPORT YOUR WEBSITE  I am keeping my end of our deal; you keep yours Presstitutes Turn Blind Eye to UN Report on Venezuela Washington and the Convict Appointed to Overthrow Venezuela Continue the Lies Paul Craig Roberts.

Truth-tellers Are Being Censored: My Quarterly Call For Your Support Dear Readers: I have had to take measures to strengthen the website from outside interference. The entirety of the interview archive disappeared off the website.  Readers complained that they had ceased receiving the newsletter notices of new postings to the website. Soren Korsgaard helped to restore the interview archive,  and…

Is Neoliberlism Killing Russia? Paul Craig Roberts and Michael Hudson Putin’s approval rating is high, but it has declined over the past year. The decline is mainly related to domestic policy.  Apparently, the public perceives recent Kremlin economic policy as a continuation of the disastrous policies that Washington imposed on Russia in the 1990s when Russia was loaded up with foreign…

Will No One Stop American Gangsterism? Paul Craig Roberts An accurate description of the US orchestrated event today at Venezuela’s border with Colombia was posted on The Saker’s website 3 days ago.  http://thesaker.is/alert-this-would-be-the-plan-for-next-february-23-2019/ Most of the world sees this as “US gangsterism.”  But no one does anything about it. John Wight asks:  “Does anybody really think that Donald Trump, Mike…

  No One Trusts the US Government, Not Even the American People Paul Craig Roberts Atlantic Bridge, a German front organization set up by Washington to propagandize Germans to serve Washington, has failed in the job.  The latest survey conducted by the front group shows that 85% of Germans are alienated from the US.  The front group’s chairman acknowledged “the…

Max Blumental Proves Western Media A Propagandist For War Criminals There is not an ounce of integrity anywhere in the Western print and TV media “Grocery shelves lie empty as food becomes increasingly scarce” in Venezuela, the UK Independent weeps. The country’s shops remain open but “sparsely stocked,” The Guardian laments. Even “basic commodities” such as toothbrushes aren’t available for…
