Watching America Collapse Existence is running out for America Paul Craig Roberts In the 1950s and 1960s the United States was a vibrant society. Upward mobility was strong, and the middle class expanded. During the 1970s the internal contradiction in Keynesian demand management resulted in stagflation. Reagan’s supply-side economic policy cured that. With a sound economy under him, Reagan was…

The Brennan-Rosenstein-Mueller–Comey-Presstitute Witch Hunt Paul Craig Roberts Update August 23: Mark Penn writing in The Hill points out that Cohen pleaded guilty to campaign violations that were not campaign violations.

Western Civilization Is Now A Caricature of Absurdity This Is Not A Joke Dear Readers: If you have concluded that a small handful of crazed morons control the words we are permitted to use, you are correct. The LGBT (Lesbian-gay-bisexual-transgender) community has decided that the word “vagina” is not gender-inclusive. The new unbiased designation of vagina is “front hole.” The…

Self-Hating Whites Paul Craig Roberts Last night on the main campus of the University of North Carolina a mob of ignorant fools overflowing with hate and self-righteousness overturned a statue of a Confederate soldier as a protest against “white supremacy.” From the available photos it appears that a large percentage of those protesting “white supremacy” are themselves white.

Genocide of the Greek Nation Paul Craig Roberts The political and media coverup of the genocide of the Greek Nation began yesterday (August 20) with European Union and other political statements announcing that the Greek Crisis is over.

Is Capitalism Killing Us? Paul Craig Roberts Ecological economists, such as Herman E. Daly, stress that as the external costs of pollution and resource exhaustion are not included in Gross Domestic Product, we do not know whether an increase in GDP is a gain or a loss.

Patriotism Has Been Turned Against Patriots Paul Craig Roberts To understand how screwed-up America is, consider that patriotism is now associated with the suppression of dissent.

The Law As Weapon Paul Craig Roberts Robert Mueller is supposed to be investigating Russiagate, which has been shown to be a hoax concocted by former CIA director John Brennan, former FBI director James Comey, and current deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

The Self-Imposed Impotence of the Russian and Chinese Governments Paul Craig Roberts The Russian and Chinese governments are puzzling.

Is There Enough of America Left To Be Saved? Paul Craig Roberts As many readers of this website have noticed, the United States has lost its character and become a dysfunctional society.

Apple, Google, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter Subvert the US Constitution, Free Speech, and American Liberty Paul Craig Roberts The coordinated attack on widely watched Info Wars host Alex Jones by Apple, Facebook, Google/Youtube, and Spotify is all the proof that we need that the total failure to enforce America’s anti-trust laws has produced unaccountably powerful firms that are able to exercise…

The Deep State Intends To Destroy Alex Jones—Don’t Let Them Fabricated, unwarranted lawsuits are being used in an effort to shut down Alex Jones who raises too many issues that those who rule us do not want raised.

The Only Existential Threat To Russia Is Neoliberal Economics Paul Craig Roberts This week I was interviewed on Russian TV about the possible new anti-Russian sanctions that Washington is considering that would prohibit anyone in the entirety of the world from holding Russian government bonds.

Who Does America Belong to? Not to Americans Paul Craig Roberts The housing market is now apparently turning down.

The United States Is The Only Remaining Colonial Power Paul Craig Roberts The United States government has never allowed independent governments in Latin America.

The Arrest of Maria Butina Is Another Hoax Paul Craig Roberts The Guardian Neswspaper, which once was an honest newspaper that spoke for the British working class has now been suborned, in my opinion, by the CIA and British Intelligence (sic).

Russiagate Is Constructed of Pure Bullshit, No Facts Paul Craig Roberts All day today the presstitute scum at NPR went on and on about President Trump, using every kind of guest and issue to set him up for more criticism as an unfit occupant of the Oval Office, because, and only because, he threatens the massive budget of the military/security…

The Coming Coup to Overthrow President Trump: Sedition at the Highest Levels Paul Craig Roberts The annual budget of the military/security complex is $1,000 billion.

America Overrules Trump: No Peace With Russia Paul Craig Roberts The governments of Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea, if their countries are to survive, must give up their deluded hopes of reaching agreements with the United States.

Is President Trump A Traitor Because He Wants Peace With Russia?

The View of Russia in the West Paul Craig Roberts The upcoming Trump/Putin summit is hampered by the crazed portrait of Russia painted by presstitutes.

The Persecution of Julian Assange Proves That Western Values No Longer Exist Paul Craig Roberts The Western world never ceases to speak of its “democratic values.” In Western political theory, the way democracy works is by free speech and a free press.

The Entire Western World Lives In Cognitive Dissonance Paul Craig Roberts In this column I am going to use three of the current top news stories to illustrate the disconnect that is everywhere in the Western mind.

I Remember When America Was A Free Country Paul Craig Roberts Dear Readers, In the Western World truth, justice, and liberty are in total collapse.
