Washington’s Matrix Is Closing Down Truth Throughout the Western World Paul Craig Roberts For a number of years I have emphasized that 9/11 was used by Dick Cheney to significantly reduce the public’s, the judiciary’s, and Congress’ access to information about what the executive branch is doing, thereby preventing legal, legislative, and electoral action against the unlawful and unconstitutional behavior…

The Costs of 9/11 Continue to Mount Paul Craig Roberts This is the 17th anniversary of 9/11. During the years that have passed large numbers of experts have established conclusively that the official government account of the event is false.

I Agree With The Saker As Far As He Goes Paul Craig Roberts The Saker has answered my question: http://thesaker.is/reply-to-paul-craig-roberts-crucial-question/ Except for his belief in the predominance of US military force over Russia in Syria and his possible misreading of my phrase, “turning the other cheek,” to imply Russian meekness rather than a calculated strategy that might be mistaken, I…

What Should Putin Do? Paul Craig Roberts Andrei Martyanov http://www.unz.com/article/russia-as-a-cat/ has answered my question https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2018/08/31/can-war-be-avoided-and-the-planet-saved/ . I agree with everything Martyanov says. But I believe my question remains unanswered. Probably it is my fault. Perhaps I framed the question so sharply that it came across as an attack on Putin’s level-headed policy. Also, my use of the phrase “turning the…

Washington’s Belligerence Can Produce A World Holocaust Paul Craig Roberts Recently I have been receiving a number of requests for my opinion of the Jewish holocaust. These requests are a puzzle to me as it is a topic unrelated to my commentaries on economics, law, current foreign affairs, and a looming showdown between Washington and Russia in Syria. I don’t…

Provocations Have A History Of Escalating Into War Can War Be Avoided and the Planet Saved? Paul Craig Roberts The Russian Government and President Putin are coming under pressure not from US sanctions, which are very good for Russia as they force Russia into independence, but from Russian patriots who are tiring of Putin’s non-confrontational responses to Washington’s never-ending insults…

A Book For Our Time, A Time That Perhaps Has Run Its Course Paul Craig Roberts American post-WW 2 supremacy, writes Andrei Martyanov in his book, Losing Military Supremacy just published by Clarity Press, has been destroyed by America’s narcissism. https://www.amazon.com/Losing-Military-Supremacy-American-Strategic/dp/0998694754/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1535577199&sr=1-1&keywords=andrei+martyanov The arrogant hubris of American exceptionalism and the myths that sustain it are subjected to devastating analysis in this…

According to the New York Times Putin Rules America President Trump is only his handyman Paul Craig Roberts When I first read this — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/24/us/politics/cia-russia-midterm-elections.html — I thought it was a caricature of fake news.

There Is No Limit To Presstitute Hypocrisy Paul Craig Roberts Caitlin Johnstone warned us that the liberals were going to make a hero out of warmonger John McCain. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2018/08/24/do-not-let-them-make-a-saint-of-this-asshole/ All morning long NPR has been conducting eulogies for warmonger McCain, who is having a state funeral both in DC and in Arizona.

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. Moreover, Cohen himself did not make the hush payment to Karen McDougal. He coordinated the payment made by American Media. The hush payments were not made with campaign funds and…

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. I wonder…

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. What they mean is that Greece is over, dead, and done with. It has been exploited to the limit, and the carcas…

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. External costs are huge and growing larger. Historically, manufacturing and industrial corporations, corporate…

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. Rich football team owners, who know nothing of the hard lives of most Americans, and the police, who routinely shoot down black people in the streets and in their homes without accountability or due…

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. As Russiagate is a hoax, Mueller has not been able to produce a shred of evidence of the…

The Self-Imposed Impotence of the Russian and Chinese Governments Paul Craig Roberts The Russian and Chinese governments are puzzling. They hold all the cards in the sanction wars and sit there with no wits whatsoever as to how to play them.

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. Think about this for a moment. Washington thinks that Washington has the right and the…

Americans Live In A World Of Lies Paul Craig Roberts The US government and the presstitutes that serve it continue to lie to us about everything.

Who Does America Belong to? Not to Americans Paul Craig Roberts The housing market is now apparently turning down. Consumer incomes are limited by jobs offshoring and the ability of employers to hold down wages and salaries.  The Federal Reserve seems committed to higher interest rates—in my view to protect the exchange value of the US dollar on which Washington’s…

The United States Is The Only Remaining Colonial Power Paul Craig Roberts The United States government has never allowed independent governments in Latin America. Every time people elect a government that represents them instead of US economic interests, Washington overthrows the elected government. Marine General Smedley Butler told us this as have many others. There is no doubt about it.…

The Treasonous Democratic Party Paul Craig Roberts If America had more honest, fact-based journalists with integrity like Tucker Carlson, we would not be, as we are today, dissolving as a country.

CIA/FBI/DOJ Plot To Overthrow The President Of The United States Paul Craig Roberts On July 21, I posted on my website a report on the discovery by John Solomon of The Hill magazine that Lisa Page testified to a congressional committee to the effect that the Russiagate probe conducted by Robert Mueller is a cover-up operation to obscure the criminal…

More Lies From The Corrupt Elite Don’t believe them Paul Craig Roberts For two decades the offshoring of American jobs to Asia and Mexico has destroyed the careers and incomes of tens of millions of US citizens, the pension tax base for state and local governments, the federal tax base for Social Security and Medicare, and the opportunity society that…

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). Perhaps you remember a few years ago that The Guardian complied with illegal orders from the corrupt UK government…

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.

Crazed US Presstitutes Drive The World To Nuclear War Paul Craig Roberts Humanity has on numerous occasions narrowly missed nuclear Armageddon.

Today this situation has been radically altered by the corrupt American…

Putin Confronts The American Dystopia Paul Craig Roberts We have to hand it to Putin. He is the best that there is.

Why are…

Is President Trump A Traitor Because He Wants Peace With Russia? The Democrats say he is Paul Craig Roberts The US Democratic Party is determined to take the world to thermo-nuclear war rather than to admit that Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election fair and square. The Democratic Party was totally corrupted by the Clinton Regime, and now it is…

Trump Should Fire Rosenstein Immediately Paul Craig Roberts Does Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein’s indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence officers for allegedly hacking Hillary’s emails and interfering in the US election have any purpose other than to throw a monkey wrench in President Trump’s upcoming summit with Putin? Don’t forget that Rosenstein is implicated in the orchestration of Russiagate…

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. Jonathan Chait, Amy Knight, Max Bergmann, Yaroslav Trofimov, Roger Cohen, and the rest of the conscious or de facto CIA assets that comprise the Western presstitute media have turned Putin into a superhuman who controls…

North Korea Thinks Pompeo Has Reneged On The Deal Paul Craig Roberts Pyongyang has voiced its regret over America’s attitude during high-level talks with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and accused Washington of seeking unilateral and forced denuclearization from North Korea. “We were expecting the US… to come up with constructive measures to help build confidence in the spirit…

Senate Intelligence Committee Prostitutes Itself In Behalf Of Russiagate And Insults Trump Supporters At The Same Time Paul Craig Roberts Are you stupid enough to believe that American voters elected Trump president because Vladimir Putin influenced them to vote for Russia’s candidate?
