In America Emotion Rules Reason Paul Craig Roberts For many years I have observed and commented from time to time on the rise in American narcissism and decline in cognitive ability. American narcissism has an emotional coloration. Utterly ignorant Americans have no problem believing that they know more than experts they belittle, demonstrating all the while that they have no…

Can the American Economy Be Resurrected? Paul Craig Roberts “Lenin said that capitalists would sell the Communists the rope to hang them. But as matters turned out, capitalists let China sell them the labor that served to hang American capitalism.” — Michael Hudson I was surprised to be given credit by readers for Trump ordering American corporations out of China…

Why I Stopped Being White and You Should Too by Nicky Reid, CounterPunch https://www.counterpunch.org/2019/08/23/why-i-stopped-being-white-and-you-should-too/ Paul Craig Roberts What poses as the left, but isn’t, is completely bonkers. When I first read the above, I thought it was a parody, but is it? For the American left, nothing is real. Everything is a “social construct,” race, gender, sexual preference, whatever. But…

The Irresponsibility of Small Nations Paul Craig Roberts After falsely accusing Russia of violating the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), Washington unilaterally repudiated the treaty. Thus did the US military/security complex rid itself of the landmark agreement achieved by Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that defused the Cold War. The INF Treaty was perhaps the most important of all of…

Is The NY Times Preparing Us for a Camp of the Saints Experience? Paul Craig Roberts Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times, told the Times’ employees on August 12 that the Times is refocusing from Russiagate to Trump-the-racist.

Insouciant white people have no awareness of the extent of their demonization Paul Craig Roberts “If you are a white male, you don’t deserve to live.

What Globalism Did Was To Transfer The US Economy To China Paul Craig Roberts The main problem with the US economy is that globalism has been deconstructing it. The offshoring of US jobs has reduced US manufacturing and industrial capability and associated innovation, research, development, supply chains, consumer purchasing power, and tax base of state and local governments. Corporations have…

Is White Genocide Possible? Paul Craig Roberts Readers agree that the demonization of white people is unfair and divisive. Many report that they have experienced reverse discrimination, and they expect discrimination against whites, such as the announced anti-white policy of the New York public school system, to worsen as the media’s demonization of white people escalates. A few readers noted…

American Capitalism Is Based on Plunder The plunder is getting worse Paul Craig Roberts American capitalism is based on plunder. With the continental USA plundered, American capitalism hoped to continue enriching itself by plundering Russia as it did under Yeltsin, carefully including the Russian “Atlanticist Integrationists” in the spoils in order to have support from the liberal, progressive forces in…

Is White Genocide in Our Future? Paul Craig Roberts “The perception that mass shootings are a “white man’s problem” lingers around the country because white mass shooters tend to get more publicity. And, the twisted young male who goes on a public shooting spree fits a certain kind of media narrative. But when we actually study the mass shootings that…

President Nixon’s Accomplishments in Protecting the Environment Are Being Destroyed by the Trump Regime Paul Craig Roberts Two days ago I wrote about how our allegedly full employment economy’s need for jobs had caused the Trump regime to overrule the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and permit extractive companies to destroy protected lands ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/13/gold-over-life-literally/ ). Today our subject thanks to…

“Gold Over Life, Literally” Paul Craig Roberts The decision by Alaska’s governor Mike Dunleavy and US president Donald Trump to sacrifice the environment for a gold mine is an extremely bad one, but I understand why it has happened. The offshoring of Americans’ jobs to Mexico and Asia has put millions of Americans into a situation in which their livelihood…

The Epstein Mystery Paul Craig Robert I appreciate my readers’ confidence in me.  However, I cannot clear up the Epstein matter for you.  Perhaps I can help you to think about it in a careful way. First of all, many jail “suicides” are murders.  In 1995 Jesse Trentadue’s brother, Kenneth,  was mistakenly identified as the possible “missing man” who was…

The Survival of the Fittest Paul Craig Roberts CJ Hopkins doesn’t say it, but he shows that within all of the Western countries in which the white core populations are experiencing fierce attack from anti-white ideologues in the media and governments that rule them, there is unity of voice from the media that “Trump is a White Supremacist who inspires…

Is the Federal Reserve losing control of the gold price?

An Open Invitation to Tyranny Paul Craig Roberts The FBI has published a document that concludes that “conspiracy theories” can motivate believers to commit crimes.  https://www.scribd.com/document/420379775/FBI-Conspiracy-Theory-Redacted#download  Considering the growing acceptance of pre-emptive arrest, that is, arresting someone before they can commit a crime that they are suspected of planning to commit, challenging official explanations, such as those offered for the…

Mass Shootings and Political Misuse of Them Have Unintended Consequences Paul Craig Roberts The unintended consequences of mass shootings and the attempts to use these shootings for various agendas can be far worse than the shootings themselves and ultimately endanger far more people.   I was listening to NPR this morning prior to President Trump’s 10 AM EST address on…

Tulsi Gabbard: R.I.P. Paul Craig Roberts It is unfortunate that Tulsi Gabbard succumbed to the Israel Lobby.  The forces of the Empire saw it as a sign of weakness and have set about destroying her. The ruling elite see Gabbard as a threat just as they saw Trump as a threat.  A threat is an attractive political candidate who questions…

More Fake News About Jobs:  Part 2 Paul Craig Roberts Yesterday’s column referred to a “rising labor force participation rate” when it should have read “falling labor force participation rate.”  Those of you who read the column before I made the correction must have been puzzled, but, little doubt, figured it out from the context. One of the main points…

More Fake Happy News About Jobs Paul Craig Roberts The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the US economy created 148,000 new private sector jobs during July.  The jobs number does not translate into employed people as increasingly Americans hold two or more jobs.  For example, the BLS reports that from June to July the number of multiple job holders…

America’s Collapse: #2 in a series An Economy Based on Plunder Paul Craig Roberts Capitalists have claimed responsibility for America’s past economic success.  Let’s begin by setting the record straight. American success had little to do with capitalism. This is not to say that the US would have had more success with something like Soviet central planning. Prior to 1900 when…

Brazil’s Massive Crime Against Humanity Paul Craig Roberts The corrupt Brazilian government installed by Washington has decided to destroy the Amazon Rain Forest.  This will adversely affect the Earth’s climate by eliminating a massive carbon sink.

Americans Are Consigning Themselves to the Trash Bin of History Paul Craig Roberts The Democrats are even more insane than I thought.  The Trump-hater Nadler had a press conference with other Trump-hating Democrats and claimed, despite the absence of any evidence from Mueller, that Trump is a criminal.  Reassured by this certitude, the Democrats will continue their impeachment investigation, says…

The Crazed Unrealistic Democrats Now Comprise the Greatest Threat to US  Unity and to Life on Earth America Divided Against Itself Cannot Survive: Good News for Those Constantly Abused by Washington, such as Iran, Russia, China Paul Craig Roberts Earlier today I posted my comments with links to the congressional questioning of Mueller about his report that, despite the evidence,…

America’s Collapse:  #1 in a Series Paul Craig Roberts Readers aware that I, and Dmitry Orlov, have been chronicling America’s rapid decline ask me, “where did it all begin?”  To  answer that question would require a massive history such as Jacques Bazun’s From Dawn to Decadence: 500 Years of Western Cultural Life.   All I can do for you is…

Trump Is Back Under Bolton’s Thumb Paul Craig Roberts President Trump might be his own man, but not when it comes to John Bolton and Israel.  Trump is their man and is again being manipulated into starting a fisticuffs with Iran. Someone in Washington, most likely Ziocon warmonger Bolton, got the UK to commit an act of piracy on the…

Who Precisely Are “the Vulnerable”? Paul Craig Roberts Some readers, both male and female, wondered why I came to the defense of feminist Laura Tanner ( https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/07/17/free-speech-no-longer-exists-in-us-universities/ ).  Why not, I was asked, let a MeTwo babe experience the name-calling and stress  that feminists dish out to men and “women apologists for men”? Justice is part of the answer.  Another…

The Lie Factory—CNN—Is Collapsing.  Thank God. Paul Craig Roberts CNN abandoned journalism and became a propaganda ministry for the Democratic National Committee and the corrupt upper echelons of the CIA and FBI.  After three years of telling the most outrageous lies ever associated with an alleged news organization in an alleged democracy, CNN’s viewership collapsed.  CNN turned propaganda ministry saw…

Robert Mueller Should Be Arrested for Conspiracy to Overthrow the President of the United States Paul Craig Roberts The Mueller report, which had no choice as there was no evidence, but to clear Donald Trump of conspiring with Russian President Putin to steal the last US presidential election from Hillary Clinton, nevertheless managed to keep an aspect of the manufactured…

Free Speech No Longer Exists in US Universities Paul Craig Roberts Georgetown University law professor Jonathan Turley notes that the University of California, once a bastion of free speech, now is opposed to it.

Democrats Have Become the Party of Nonwhite Immigrants and Sexual Deviants Paul Craig Roberts In the last presidential election, the Democratic candidate for president, Hillary Clinton, dismissed the white American working class as the “Trump deplorables,” “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it.” Now Nancy Pelosi wants the House of Representatives to censure President Trump for sticking up for…

Who Remembers the Sandy Hook School Shootings? Paul Craig Roberts The official explanation given of the Sandy Hook school shootings struck many people at the time as fishy.  Various aspects of the story did not seem to go together well or fit normal procedures for such a crime.  Contradictory evidence was never explained, and doubts based on evidence were ignored…

If You Use Social Media You Support the Gestapo Police State Paul Craig Roberts Americans, being an insouciant people, are unaware and unconcerned that their addiction to social media supports the Gestapo Police State.   Both Twitter and Facebook are mechanisms by which the police state imposes censorship on Americans and casts aside the First Amendment.  Social media is also…

Hurricane Barry Proves Terrorist Threat Is A Hoax Paul Craig Roberts What Hurricane Barry tells us as it floods an already flooded New Orleans is that the “terrorist threat” that the US allegedly faces is a hoax.

The Epstein Pedophile Case Paul Craig Roberts Readers ask me about the Epstein case.  Are Ann Coulter, Giraldi and others correct that the Lolita Express was a possible Mossad operation to create blackmail files on political leaders, women included. I have no way of knowing.  I posted articles from others to stimulate thought, not to take a position. At this…

Are White People Too Stupid To Survive? Paul Craig Roberts There is a strong case that they are.  Having been demonized for many years and intimidated from defending themselves, white people are now intentionally discriminated against by the racial “minorities” (actually vast world majorities) of the people they have been pressured to elevate above them.  Once the “oppressed” are put…

Europeans Are as Dumbshit as Americans The Obituary for Western Civilization Can Now Be Written Paul Craig Roberts Here is a video of one of the migrant gangs that have been welcomed into Europe sticking a pistol’s barrel into the mouth of a male Swedish teenager and ordering him to dance.  Having been taught that it is racist, and perhaps…

Does Trump Have the Balls to Hold the Deep State Accountable?

Government Can Know Everything About Us Except Our Citizenship Paul Craig Roberts The US Supreme Court has done next to nothing to enforce the Constitution and stop the government’s spying on the population.  Phone calls, text messages, emails, credit card purchases, state driver’s license databases, literally everything about our lives is collected as privacy-violating information.  Yet the Supreme Court based…

Does the United States Still Exist? Paul Craig Roberts Fareed Zakaria shows his extraordinary dishonesty by maintaining that it is racist to represent the interests of white people, but not racist to represent the interests of black people or other non-white people.  He adds to his dishonesty by claiming that it is difficult to know who is white and who…

Obama: Front Man for Washington’s Imperialism Paul Craig Roberts Clarity Press is a good publisher for authors willing to provide real information in place of the officially sanctioned controlled explanations of our time. A current example is Jeremy Kuzmarov’s assessment of Obama, Obama’s Unending Wars. The forty-fourth president comes across as a successful front man for corporate rule and Washington’s…

Approaching 9/11’s 18th Anniversary Paul Craig Roberts This coming September it will have been 18 years since 9/11 and we still do not have from the US government a believable explanation of the event.  9/11 was the necessary “new Pearl Harbor” for the neoconservatives to launch their wars on the Muslim Middle East and North Africa and to put in…

The Western Leftwing Preaches Hatred of the Working Class Paul Craig Roberts Considering the American rightwing’s adsorption in war and hatred of Muslims, worship of capitalism whose operatives have sent American middle class jobs abroad, and blind support of Israel, a racist country, Americans desperately need a real leftwing.  All we have is a fake leftwing. I sometimes think the…

Unhappy Thoughts For the Fourth of July Paul Craig Roberts The human race, being a collection of stupids, continues to make decisions that imperil itself.

The Torture of Julian Assange Paul Craig Roberts In a few days July 4th will be upon us.  We will hear endless nonsense from insouciant speakers and editorialists about what a great democracy we are, having won our freedom from being a British colony.   One thing the United States most certainly is not is a democracy.  A democracy requires…
