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…

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.

Washington Newspeak Paul Craig Roberts President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua has twice been elected to the presidency and has been a popular leader in Nicaragua since 1979.  The neoconservative war criminal, John Bolton, picked by President Trump to run US foreign policy, has declared that Washington is going to overthrow the duly elected Ortega and replace him with a puppet. …

If Truth Is Politicized, All Is Lost Paul Craig Roberts Trump’s surrender to the  neoconservatives makes it impossible for an informed person to support him.  He has signed off on the coup against democracy in Venezuela, and he has placed all life at risk by pulling out of the INF treaty with Russia.  Putin has publicly announced that the consequences…

Venezuela Under Washington’s Gun Paul Craig Roberts A full court press is taking place in Florida today (Presidents Day) with Republicans, Democrats, expatriates from Cuba and Venezuela and the fascist warmonger ministry of propaganda that constitutes the US media all denouncing Maduro and blaming him for the hardships imposed on Venezuelans by Washington’s sanctions and attacks on Venezuela’s currency .…

Self-Hating Whites Paul Craig Roberts White people are on the point of extinction. If you say anything about it, you are labeled a “white supremist.” Black lives matter, but not white lives. We this, for example, in South Africa where white farmers are being massacred under the slogan “land or death” by blacks whose forebears arrived in South Africa after…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. This sounds like an outlandish statement. However, it follows logically from the identification of white people with violence, oppression, and every evil in the world. In a number…

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.

A Majority of Americans Do Not Believe the Official 9/11 Story “Conspiracy Theorists” Now A Majority Paul Craig Roberts TruePublica, a British website that has avoided the 9/11 issue, has had its fill of ignorant journalists at the BBC, Huffington Post and other propagandists for the military/security complex. The constant, shrill demeaning of experts and distinguished people who have raised…

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. Lysenko represented the unscientific view that environment, not genetics, was the explanation. In 1948 the Soviet government banned scientific dissent from Lysenko’s theory of environmentally acquired inheritance. Thousands of Soviet scientists were dismissed, imprisoned, and…

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. I can remember when 1984 seemed far in the future, both as a calendar date and George Orwell’s predicted dystopia, to which 9/11 and the digital revolution gave birth in the 21st century. 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?
