Are We Over the US/UK Fomented Crisis In Syria? Paul Craig Roberts It appears from the very limited US missile attack, most of which were intercepted and destroyed by Syrian air defenses, that the US military prevailed over the crazed John Bolton and carefully avoided a strike that would have resulted in a Russian response. No significant Syrian site appears…

The Trump Regime Is Insane Paul Craig Roberts Is it insane to push for war with Russia, a major nuclear power? Is it insane to threaten Russia and bring false charges against her? Is it insane to brag about killing “hundreds of Russians”? https://news.antiwar.com/2018/04/12/pompeo-russians-met-their-match-us-killed-hundreds-of-them/ A normal person would answer “yes” to the three questions.

American Officials Continue to Make Laughing Stocks of Themselves Paul Craig Roberts Here is “Mad Dog” Mattis, the US Secretary of War, stating that he has no evidence that there was a chemical weapons attack in Syria last week, but that he personally believes that there was one.

Ten Days Before The End Of The World Paul Craig Roberts The criminally insane governments of the US, UK, and France are sending a flotilla of missile ships, submarines, and an aircraft carrier to attack Syria in the face of Russian warnings.

From Skripal to Chemical Attack: What Accusation Is Next? Paul Craig Roberts Einstein said that the definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect different results. Isn’t this what the Russian government is doing when it continues to respond to false accusations and expects facts to have any bearing on the matter? As soon as the…

Russia: The Spurned Lover Who Persists Paul Craig Roberts Is the Russian Foreign Ministry so brainwashed that it believes the US is a democracy?! https://www.rt.com/news/423439-russia-sanctions-response-foreign-ministry/ A country in which 90%, if not more, of the people are dispossessed is a democracy?! A country ruled by a handful of private interest groups is a democracy?! The success of Washington’s propaganda is…

Insouciant Russians? Paul Craig Roberts I have often wondered if the Russian media shields Russians from the insulting and derogatory things that American elites say about Russia and President Putin. For example, here is Harvard University Professor Graham Allison: “However demonic, however destructive, however devious, however deserving of being strangled Russia is, the brute fact is that we cannot kill…

April 6: These otherwise pointless new sanctions seem to confirm my supposition that the real purpose of the US sanctions is to convince members of the Russian ruling class to get rid of Putin and to put into office someone agreeable to Washington’s overlordship. https://www.rt.com/news/423393-russia-sancions-new-us/ Lies Are Washington’s Chosen Path To Dominance Will Putin Fall for Washington’s Lies?

How Our Country Was Stolen Paul Craig Roberts Today is Easter, an important Christian holiday.

For Apple’s programmers, April Fools Day trumps Easter.…

More Lies from the Presstitutes Paul Craig Roberts The shameless liars that comprise the US media intentionally exaggerated the marchers against “gun violance” by four times the acutal number. Why? Why are the media presstitutes involved in advocacy of agendas and not in reporting factual news? Recent polls show that a majority of Americans believe that gun ownership makes people…

On the Verge of Nuclear War Paul Craig Roberts One wonders if this latest extremely provocative and hostile accusation against Russia, supported by Washington’s empire, is the prelude to war. There is no basis whatsoever for the statement of the US Department of State that “on March 4, Russia used a military-grade nerve agent to attempt to murder a British…

Integrity Has Vanished From The West Paul Craig Roberts Among Western political leaders there is not an ounce of integrity or morality. The Western print and TV media is dishonest and corrupt beyond repair. Yet the Russian government persists in its fantasy of “working with Russia’s Western partners.” The only way Russia can work with crooks is to become a…

Trump: Conflict Between His Words And Deeds Paul Craig Roberts President Trump (belatedly) congratulated Russian President Putin on his smashing reelection and said, again, that he favored getting along with Russia. Yet, how can Trump mean it when he follows up by appointing John Bolton, America’s most notorious warmonger, National Security Adviser? It makes no sense. Bolton is the third…

Has Russia Had Enough? Paul Craig Roberts This morning I watched a briefing the Russian Foreign Ministry provided for the diplomatic community where international toxic substances experts presented information concerning the alleged nerve agent used in the alleged attack on Skripal and his daughter.

Finally, Some Good News Paul Craig Roberts Washington’s gratuitous raising of tensions with Russia that we have been witnessing for many years is so reckless and irresponsible that we need some relief from the depression of it all.

Can Nuclear War Be Avoided? Paul Craig Roberts Two factors are driving the world to nuclear war. One is the constant stream of insults, false accusations and broken agreements that the West has been dumping on Russia year after year. The other is Russia’s response, or, perhaps more correctly, the lack thereof. Articles documenting Washington’s betrayals and provocations of Russia…

War Is On The Horizon Paul Craig Roberts Have Washington and its British vassal set a stage for testing whether Russia has the stomach for war?

Lies Can Lead To War Paul Craig Roberts Notice that the governments of the US, UK, France, and Germany did not require any evidence to decide that the Russian government used military-grade nerve gas to attack two people on an English park bench and a UK policeman. It makes no sense. There is no Russian motive. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/48963.htm The motive lies…

Will Russia Wake Up? Paul Craig Roberts Russians are having a difficult time comprehending their Western enemy or even understanding that Russia has an enemy that seeks the destruction of Russia.

Paul Craig Roberts Stephen Lendman agrees that the murderous criminals in Washington are driving humanity to extinction. http://stephenlendman.org/2018/03/perilous-time-world-history-got-worse/ Because of the control over explanations that people in the Western world receive, most are unaware of the mounting danger.

In The Western World Insanity Reigns Paul Craig Roberts As I wrote earlier today (https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/03/13/world-war-3-approaching/), “the entire Western world is insane.” More evidence has been jumping out at me all day. For example: President Trump has nominated a person, Gina Haspel, to be CIA Director who is deeply implicated in CIA torture and destruction of the evidence. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/03/13/gina-haspel-trump-nominee-first-woman-leader-cia/419547002/ The Republicans…

What Secretary of State Tillerson’s Firing Means Paul Craig Roberts Senator Chuck Schumer (D, NY) says Tillerson’s firing indicates that the Trump administration is disintegrating.

World War 3 Is Approaching “In a nuclear war the “collateral damage” would be the life of all humanity.” — Fidel Castro Paul Craig Roberts The Russians, in their anxiety to show the West how friendly they are, left Washington with a toe hold in Syria, which Washington is using to reopen the war.

Make-Believe America Paul Craig Roberts Americans live a never-never-land existance. The politicians and presstitutes make sure of that. Consider something as simple as the unemployment rate. The US is said to have full employment with a January 2018 unemployment rate of 4.1 percent, down from 9.8 percent in January 2010. https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LNS14000000 However, the low rate of unemployment is contradicted by…

Is Washington Sufficiently Intelligent to Be Trusted with an Independent Foreign Policy? Paul Craig Roberts As I figured would be the case, Putin’s message to the West that Russia cannot be intimidated and that the nations must work together to deal with world problems was far over the heads of the dumbshit “exceptional” Americans. CNN rushed out an idiot named…

The Shooting At Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School In Parkland Florida Paul Craig Roberts Readers have inquired about my silence about the Florida shooting on Valentine’s Day.

Does the ACLU Any Longer Defend Civil Liberty? Paul Craig Roberts There are many signs of American collapse.

Russiaphobia Is Out of Control Paul Craig Roberts As has been made perfectly clear, Mueller’s “indictment” of 13 Russians and 3 companies is just another hoax.

CBS Contradicts Itself On Mueller’s Report Paul Craig Roberts Despite reporting correctly Deputy AG Rosenstein’s statement that Mueller’s investigation found no evidence that Russian social media activity had an effect on the US election and no cooperation or collusion with the Trump campaign, CBS then falsely reports: “DOJ indicts Russians for meddling in election.” Does CBS have an explanation for…

A Real Solution fo School Shootings Paul Craig Roberts Gun bans are no more effective than banning drugs. What explains school shootings and other mass shootings—the ones that are real?

The Result of Mueller’s Investigation: Nothing Paul Craig Roberts Robert Mueller discredited himself and his orchestrated Russiagate investigation today (Friday, February 16, 2018) with his charges that 13 Russians and 3 Russian companies plotted to use social media to influence the 2016 election. Their intent, Mueller says, was to “sow discord in the US political system.” https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-trump-russia-indictment/u-s-charges-russians-with-2016-u-s-election-tampering-to-boost-trump-idUKKCN1G023G What pathetic results…

The #MeToo Movement Will Produce Victims of Its Own Paul Craig Roberts From the standpoint of the #MeToo movement, the wrong country was banned from the Olympics.

Do Financial Markets Still Exist?   Paul Craig Roberts, Dave Kranzler, Michael Hudson   For many decades the Federal Reserve has rigged the bond market by its purchases.
