Paul Craig Roberts: "Washington Is Impotent To Prevent Armageddon"
Submitted by Paul Craig Roberts,
Paul Craig Roberts’ address to the Conference on the European/Russian Crisis, Delphi, Greece, June 20-21, 2015
?Paul Craig Roberts, formerly Assistant Secretary of the US Treasury for Economic Policy, Associate Editor, Wall Street Journal, Senior Research Fellow, Stanford University, William E. Simon Chair in Political Economy, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Georgetown University, Washington, D.C.
The United States has pursued empire since early in its history, but it was the Soviet collapse in 1991 that enabled Washington to see the entire world as its oyster.
The collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in the rise of the neoconservatives to power and influence in the US government. The neoconservatives have interpreted the Soviet collapse as History’s choice of “American democratic capitalism” as the New World Order.
Chosen by History as the exceptional and indispensable country, Washington claims the right and the responsibility to impose its hegemony on the world. Neoconservatives regard their agenda to be too important to be constrained by domestic and international law or by the interests of other countries. Indeed, as the Unipower, Washington is required by the neoconservative doctrine to prevent the rise of other countries that could constrain American power.
Paul Wolfowitz, a leading neoconservative, penned the Wolfowitz Doctrine shortly after the Soviet collapse. This doctrine is the basis of US foreign and military policy.
The doctrine states:
“Our first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet Union or elsewhere, that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. This is a dominant consideration underlying the new regional defense strategy and requires that we endeavor to prevent any hostile power from dominating a region whose resources would, under consolidated control, be sufficient to generate global power.”
Notice that Washington’s “first objective” is not peace, not prosperity, not human rights, not democracy, not justice. Washington’s “first objective” is world hegemony. Only the very confident so blatantly reveal their agenda.
As a former member of the Cold War Committee on the Present Danger, I can explain what Wolfowitz’s words mean. The “threat posed formerly by the Soviet Union” was the ability of the Soviet Union to block unilateral US action in some parts of the world. The Soviet Union was a constraint on US unilateral action, not everywhere but in some places. Any constraint on Washington is regarded as a threat.
A “hostile power” is a country with an independent foreign policy, such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have proclaimed. Iran, Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina, Cuba, and North Korea also proclaim an independent foreign policy.
This is too much independence for Washington to stomach. As Russian President Vladimir Putin recently stated, “Washington doesn’t want partners. Washington wants vassals.”
The Wolfowitz doctrine requires Washington to dispense with or overthrow governments that do not acquiesce to Washington’s will. It is the “first objective.”
The collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in Boris Yeltsin becoming president of a dismembered Russia. Washington became accustomed to Yeltsin’s compliance and absorbed itself in its Middle Eastern wars, expecting Vladimir Putin to continue Russia’s vassalage.
However at the 43rd Munich Conference on Security Policy, Putin said: “I consider that the unipolar model is not only unacceptable but also impossible in today’s world.”
Putin went on to say:
“We are seeing a greater and greater disdain for the basic principles of international law, and independent legal norms are, as a matter of fact, coming increasingly closer to one state’s legal system. One state and, of course, first and foremost the United States, has overstepped its national borders in every way. This is visible in the economic, political, cultural and educational policies it imposes on other nations. Well, who likes this? Who is happy about this?”
When Putin issued this fundamental challenge to US unipower, Washington was preoccupied with its lack of success with its invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Mission was not accomplished.
By 2014 it had come to Washington’s attention that while Washington was blowing up weddings, funerals, village elders, and children’s soccer games in the Middle East, Russia had achieved independence from Washington’s control and presented itself as a formidable challenge to Washington’s uni-power. Putin blocked Obama’s planned invasion of Syria and bombing of Iran.
The unmistakable rise of Russia refocused Washington from the Middle East to Russia’s vulnerabilities.
Ukraine, long a constituent part of Russia and subsequently the Soviet Union, was split off from Russia in the wake of the Soviet collapse by Washington’s maneuvering. In 2004 Washington had tried to capture Ukraine in the Orange Revolution, which failed to deliver Ukraine into Washington’s hands. Consequently, according to neocon Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, Washington spent $5 billion over the following decade developing Ukrainian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that could be called into the streets of Kiev and in developing Ukrainian political leaders willing to represent Washington’s interests.
Washington launched its coup in February 2014 with orchestrated demonstrations that, with the addition of violence, resulted in the overthrow and flight of the elected democratic government of Victor Yanukovych. In other words, Washington destroyed democracy in a new country with a coup before democracy could take root.
Ukrainian democracy meant nothing to Washington. Washington was intent on seizing Ukraine in order to present Russia with a security problem and also to justify sanctions against “Russian aggression” in order to break up Russia’s growing economic and political relationships with Europe. Washington feared that these relationships could undermine Washington’s hold on Europe.
Sanctions are contrary to Europe’s interests. Nevertheless European governments accommodated Washington’s agenda. The reason was explained to me several decades ago by my Ph.D. dissertation committee chairman who became Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs. I had the opportunity to ask him how Washington managed to have foreign governments act in Washington’s interest rather than in the interest of their own countries. He said, “money.” I said, “you mean foreign aide?” He said, “no, we give the politicians bags full of money. They belong to us. They answer to us.”
Recently, the German journalist Udo Ulfkotte wrote a book, Bought Journalists, in which he reported that every significant European journalist functions as a CIA asset.
This does not surprise me. The same is the situation in the US.
As Europe is an appendage of Washington, a collection of vassal states, Europe enables Washington’s pursuit of hegemony even to the extent of being driven into conflict with Russia over a “crisis” that is entirely a propaganda creation of Washington’s.
The media disguises the reality. During the Clinton regime, six mega-media companies were permitted to acquire 90% of the US print, TV, radio, and entertainment media, a concentration that destroyed diversity and independence. Today the media throughout the Western world serves as a Propaganda Ministry for Washington. The Western media is Washington’s Ministry of Truth. Gerald Celente, the trends forecaster, calls the Western media “presstitutes,” a combination of press prostitutes.
In the US Putin and Russia are demonized around the clock. Every broadcast alerts us to “the Russian threat.” Even Putin’s facial expressions are psychologically analyzed. Putin is the New Hitler. Putin has ambitions to recreate the Soviet empire. Putin invaded Ukraine. Putin is going to invade the Baltic states and Poland. Putin is a threat on the level of ebola and the Islamist State. US Russian experts, such as Stephen Cohen, who state the facts are dismissed as “Putin apologists.” Any and every one who takes exception to the anti-Putin, anti-Russian propaganda is branded a “Putin apologist,” just as 9/11 skeptics are dismissed as “conspiracy theorists.” In the Western world, the few truth-tellers are demonized along with Putin and Russia.
The world should take note that today, right now, Truth is the most unwelcome presence in the Western world. No one wants to hear it in Washington, London, Tokyo, or in any of the political capitals of Washington’s empire.
The majority of the American population has fallen for the anti-Russian propaganda, just as they fell for “Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction,” “Assad’s use of chemical weapons against his own people,” Iranian nukes,” the endless lies about Gaddafi, 9/11, shoe bombers, underwear bombers, shampoo and bottled water bombers. There is always a new lie to keep the fear factor working for Washington’s endless wars and police state measures that enrich the rich and impoverish the poor.
The gullibility of the public has enabled Washington to establish the foundation for a new Cold War or for a preemptive nuclear strike on Russia. Some neoconservatives prefer the latter. They believe nuclear war can be won, and they ask, “What is the purpose of nuclear weapons if they cannot be used?”
China is the other rising power that the Wolfowitz Doctrine requires to be constrained. Washington’s “pivot to Asia” creates new naval and air bases to control China and perpetuate Washington’s hegemony in the South China Sea.
We come to the bottom line. Washington’s position is not negotiable. Washington has no interest in compromising with Russia or China. Washington has no interest in any facts. Washington’s deal is this: “You can be part of our world order as our vassals, but not otherwise.”
European governments and, of course, the lapdog UK government, are complicit in this implicit declaration of war against Russia and China. If it comes to war, Europeans will pay the ultimate price for the treason of their leaders, such as Merkel, Cameron, and Hollande, as Europe will cease to exist.
War with Russia and China is beyond Washington’s capability. However, if the demonized “enemy” does not succumb to the pressure and accept Washington’s leadership, war can be inevitable. Washington has launched an attack. How does Washington back off? Don’t expect any American regime to say, “we made a mistake. Let’s work this out.” Every one of the announced candidates for the American presidency is committed to American hegemony and war.
Washington believes Russia can be isolated from the West and that this isolation will motivate those secularized and westernized elements in Russia, who desire to be part of the West, into more active opposition against Putin. The Saker calls these Russians “Atlanticist integrationists.”
After two decades of Russia being infiltrated by Washington’s NGO Fifth Columns, the Russian government has finally taken action to regulate the hundreds of Western-financed NGOs inside Russia that comprise Washington’ subversion of the Russian government. However, Washington still hopes to use sanctions to cause enough disruption of economic life within Russia to be able to send protesters into the streets. Regime change, as in Ukraine, is one of Washington’s tools. In China the US organized the Hong Kong “student” riots, which Washington hopes will spread into China, and Washington supports the independence of the Muslim population in the Chinese province that borders Kazakhstan.
The problem with a government in the control of an ideology is that ideology and not reason drives the action of the government. As the majority of Western populations lack the interest to search for independent explanations, the populations impose no constraint on governments.
To understand Washington, go online and read the neoconservative documents and position papers. You will see an agenda unconstrained by law, by morality, by compassion, by common sense. You will see an agenda of evil.
Who is Obama’s Assistant Secretary of State for the Ukrainian part of the world? It is the neoconservative Victoria Nuland who organized the Ukrainian coup, who put in office the new puppet government, who is married to the even more extreme neoconservative, Robert Kagan.
Who is Obama’s National Security advisor? It is Susan Rice, a neoconservative.
Who is Obama’s Ambassador to the UN? It is Samantha Power, a neoconservative.
Now we turn to material interests. The neoconservative agenda of world hegemony serves the powerful military/security complex whose one trillion dollar annual budget depends on war, hot or cold.
The agenda of American hegemony serves the interests of Wall Street and the mega-banks. As Washington’s power and influence spreads, so does American financial imperialism. So does the reach of American oil companies and American agribusiness corporations such as Monsanto.
Washington’s hegemony means that US corporations get to loot the rest of the world.
The danger of the neoconservative ideology is that it is in perfect harmony with powerful economic interests. In the US the left-wing has made itself impotent. It believes all the foundational government lies that have given America a police/warfare state incapable of producing alternative leadership. The American left, what little remains, for emotional reasons believes the government’s 9/11 story. The anti-religious left-wing believes the threat posed to free thought by a Christian Russia. The left-wing, convinced that Americans are racists, believes the government’s account of the assassinations of Martin Luther King.
The left-wing accepts the government’s transparent 9/11 fable, because it is emotionally important to the American left that oppressed peoples strike back. For the American left, it is emotionally satisfying that the Middle East, long oppressed and exploited by the French, British and Americans, struck back and humiliated the Unipower in the 9/11 attack.
This emotional need is so powerful for the left that it blinds the left-wing to the improbability of a few Saudi Arabians, who could not fly airplanes, outwitting not merely the FBI, CIA, and NSA, which spies on the entire world, but as well all 16 US intelligence agencies and the intelligence agencies of Washington’s NATO vassal states and Israel’s Mossad, which has infiltrated every terrorist organization, including those created by Washington itself.
Somehow these Saudis were able to also outwit NORAD, airport security, causing security to fail four times in one hour on the same day. They were able to prevent for the first time ever the US Air Force from intercepting the hijacked airliners. Air traffic control somehow lost the hijacked airliners on radar. Two airliners crashed, one into the Pennsylvania country side and one into the Pentagon without leaving any debris. The passport of the leader of the attack, Mohammed Atta was reported to be found as the only undamaged element in the debris of the World Trade Center towers. The story of the passport was so preposterous that it had to be changed.
This implausible account did not raise any eyebrows in the tame Western print and TV media.
The right-wing is obsessed with immigration of darker-skinned peoples, and 9/11 has become an argument against immigration. The left-wing awaits the oppressed to strike back against their oppressors. The 9/11 fable survives as it serves the interests of both left and right.
I can tell you for a fact that if American national security had so totally failed as it is represented to have failed by the official explanation of 9/11, the White House, the Congress, the media would have been screaming for an investigation. Heads would have rolled in agencies that permitted such massive failure of the national security state. The embarrassment of a Superpower being so easily attacked and humiliated by a handful of Arabs acting independently of any intelligence agency would have created an uproar demanding accountability.
Instead, the White House resisted any investigation for one year. Under pressure from the 9/11 families who lost family members in the World Trade Center Towers, the White House created a political commission consisting of politicians managed by the White House. The commission sat and listened to the government’s account and wrote it down. This is not an investigation.
In the United States the left-wing is focused on demonizing Ronald Reagan, who had nothing whatsoever to do with any of this. The left-wing hates Reagan because he had to use anti-communist rhetoric in order to keep his electoral basis while he strove to end the Cold War in the face of the powerful opposition of the military/security complex.
Is the left-wing more effective in Europe? Not that I can see. Look at Greece for example. The Greek people are driven into the ground by the EU, the IMF, the German and Dutch banks and the New York hedge funds. Yet, when presented with candidates who promise to resist the looting of Greece, the Greek voters give the candidates a mere 36% of the vote, enough to form a government, but not enough to have any clout with creditors.
Having hamstrung their government with such low electoral support, the Greek people further impose impotence on their government by demanding to remain in the EU. If leaving the EU is not a realistic threat, the Greek government has no negotiating power.
Obviously, the Greek population is so throughly brainwashed about the necessity of being part of the EU that the population is willing to be economically dispossessed rather than to leave the EU. Thus Greeks have forfeited their sovereignty and independence. A country without its own money is not, and cannot be, an independent country.
Once European intellectuals signed off on the EU, they committed nations to vassalage, both to the EU bureaucrats and to Washington. Consequently, European nations are not independent and cannot exercise an independent foreign policy.
Their impotence means that Washington can drive them to war. To fully understand the impotence of Europe look at France. The only leader in Europe worthy of the name is Marine Le Pen. Having said this, I am immediately denounced by the European left as a fascist, a racist, and so forth. This only shows the knee-jerk response of the European left.
It is not I who shares Le Pen’s views on immigration. It is the French people. Le Pen’s party won the recent EU elections. What Le Pen stands for is French independence from the EU. The majority of French see themselves as French and want to remain French with their own laws and customs. Only Le Pen among European politicians has stated the obvious: “The Americans are taking us to war!”
Despite the French desire for independence, the French will elect Le Pen’s party to the EU but will not give it the vote to be the government of France. The French deny themselves their independence, because they are heavily conditioned by brainwashing, much coming from the left, and are ashamed to be racists, fascists, and whatever epithets have been assigned to Le Pen’s political party, a party that stands for the independence of France.
The European left-wing, once a progressive force, even a revolutionary one, has become a reactionary force. It is the same in the US. I say this as one of CounterPunch’s popular contributors.
The inability even of intellectuals to recognize and accept reality means that restraints on neoconservatives are nowhere present except within Russia and China. The West is impotent to prevent Armageddon.
It is up to Russia and China, and as Washington has framed the dilemma, Armageddon can only be prevented by Russia and China accepting vassal status.
I don’t believe this is going to happen. Why would any self-respecting people submit to the corrupt West?
The hope is that Washington will cause its European vassals to rebel by pushing them too hard into conflict with Russia. The hope that European countries will be forced into an independent foreign policy also seems to be the basis of the Russian government’s strategy.
Perhaps intellectuals can help to bring this hope to fruition. If European politicians were to break from Washington’s hegemony and instead represent European interests, Washington would be deprived of cover for its war crimes. Washington’s aggressions would be constrained by an independent European foreign policy. The breakdown of the neoconservative unipower model would be apparent even to Washington, and the world would become a safer and better place.

United European States of Sheepolonia. United in Indifference with next to zero opportunity of Parole.

I hold my head up to the sky in despair , looking for answers and a pigeon shits over my face. It's a sign i'm rock bottom, Sweet F.ALL to lose.
Trust me Europe is crumbling, the United part anyway and the Cabal ain't powerful enough to finger fuck those cracks.
What we need is a distraction from the Source/Root/Nucleus of the Cancer my American partners.Your Civil Disobedience will exhaust significant resources and spur on your European partners to push/pitchfork on.
There is movement towards an EU exit in the UK. The UK Independence Party got 4 million votes (almost half the mainstream left wing option whom had 9 million), although MI5 rigs the vote a bit in places in England. So UKIP had less influence than I suspect they deserve. There are competing groups wanting to front the 'Out' campaign.
I'm sure you follow such developments anyway. Good article. I despaired at looking for info. on Ukraine since I wanted to find out about it; and here it is!
Mainstream left active. We can only hope when it comes to them. They seemed to have laid off UKIP recently.
oh look, another anti-US echo chamber thread... yawn
Oh, you got tired of watching "Captain America The Winter Soldier" and came back here to kick some easy ass.
the only ass easy around here is your mom's

If it happened in Russia you just wouldn't hear about it at all. In China they use knives for lack of guns...
Russians still stupid after all these years.
better worry about your own country
Tis better to abandon Stateism and Nationalism than to use it to divide and conquer.
My oppressive state is better than your oppressive state?
That is as bad as Red Team/Blue Team US Politics...It is just on a much larger scale.
I don't agree that Washington is impotent to avoid Armaggedon.
I think it is KEEN to cause an Armageddon.
Again, just like his last one I had the pleasure of reading, this article is flawless. Very impressive summation on the state of the world today. Not a single word against which I can argue nor add to embellish this essay.
Going back to where the rise in neoconservatism started in earnest during my lifetime, at the fall of the former Soviet Union, I've noticed over the years the repetitive trick of these people to hijack key events in history to take credit for them. To steal credit from others to enrich, empower themselves and further their interests. The Soviet Union collapsed due to the (failed) implementation of Glasnost and Perestroika. Gorbachev led his country towards openness and cooperation with the West hoping to demilitarize and recapitalize his country in stages to a market economy that was in turn seen as an opportunity to foment its destruction by the old enemy. The open glee with which the early coups and industrial rape was conducted in Russia during the early years of its collapse was like watching a bunch of thugs kicking an old man in the face when he was down. It was the Wild West, Oligarchs rising to take giant bites out of state companies funded by the old and new banking families of Europe and America. It's not a coincidence that Khodorovsky released all of his shares in Yukos to Nathaniel Charles Jacob Rothschild, 4th Baron Rothschild when he was arrested.
So arguably, the Soviet Union was transitioning to a market based economy on its own (Ultimately stopped in its tracks by Russian counter-revolutionaries and foreign powers to collapse the entire country), not forced into it by a bunch of zionazi warmongers in Washington. But those warmongers stole credit for it anyway. It is often suggested that neoconservatism is a zionist construct. Certainly key figures like Victoria Nuland and her family ties suggest a very strong connection. Just as American neocons have stolen credit for ending WWII, the zionists have stolen the voices of the victims who suffered at the hands of the Nazis too - millions of Germans who were deemed "racially undesirable", Catholics, Norwegian school teachers, Disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses, Gays, Gypsies, Communists and Polish intelligentsia among them. Today those victims' voices have been stolen by the "Holocaust" industry unacknowledged for the profit of those who weren't even born at the time. A disgusting excuse of perpetual victimhood used to crush dissent and discussion about Israel's zionazis in the present day. They are the re-writers of history and the disseminators of lies in the present. They operate by stealing credit from the victims and the past generation to further their agenda.
Good thoughs as always, YHC-FTSE.
Thanks mate. Ditto to you.
Gorbachev, the leader of soviet Perestroika was probably asset of western secret services, he brought the Soviet empire to its knees. Wonder why he founded his foundation in USA in 1992, funny isn't it?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gorbachev_Foundation
Bingo!
Remember his Pizza Hut commercials?
Great cover.
Remember, Gorbachov is no saint. He was given the Presedio in S.F as a residence and headquarters for his globalist promoting foundation. He loves it, only 45 minutes by limo to the Bohemian Grove, his favorite place.
fret not folks, the big CEAUSESCU party will be comin' along and it'll last a long time.
PCR is spot on as usual.
China and Russia should plan an assassination of the whole neo-con leadership then if they are to prevent Armageddon.
That would likely be a trigger for a military coup, and then Russia and China's problems would really start.
You are right, it would be. But then, thats the end game anyway. Its their heads or the neocons and zionists. There simply is no middle ground or way out. Like fuckhead bush said; 'you're either with us or against us'. I guess Russia and China aren't with the zionist bastards....
Oceana is going to war against Eurasia and Eastasia unless Eurasia goes to war against Eastasia I think is the point.
The glorius BRICS are creating institutions that exactly mimic the West. SWIFT system counterpart, check. World bank counterpart, check. IMF counterpart, check.
The rise of China was largely the creation of Wall Street and Private Vulture Funds. They told American business, I want wage abritrage, and if you don't give it to me, we will greenmail your company. Greenmail involves taking pensions of the target company and then leveraging them with new debt to then buy out the company. Move your company to China, or else.
BRIC "crediting" institutions are Oligarchial in nature, as their credit pyramids to the control center.
So, are the Russian and Chinese Oligarchs constrained by law any more than American Oligarchs? It isn't likely that Rothschild has penetrated Russia, especially since the Jewish Oligarchs were kicked out or jailed. Chinese are ethnocentric, and they have maintained control over their State Banks, so it is unlikely a foreign western/jewish ethinicity will penetrate too deep into China.
PCR never seems to criticise the BRICs institutions, or even notice BRIC similarity to Western debt spreading model.
PCR never seems to criticise the BRICs institutions, or even notice BRIC similarity to Western debt spreading model.
he doesn't talk about it because that is not the issue. a parallel economic system is competition. competition stabizes the politics and economy of the world. that is the issue.
What about-ery Alert!
Thank you for being a lone voice getting down to the key point: competition.
I could almost start doing a Ballmer "Competition, competition, competition!"

Neo-cons and Neo-libs are both fascist assholes.
Live free or die!
Lookin' at their bioz, neocon doesn't quite fit.
+100 for facist assholes, tho'

Neoconservatism + Neoliberalism = Neocolonialism
Please turn your meme-machine to M.97 and let 'er rip!
string theory says there are multiple dimensions along ours, look it up. I want to go to the 50s dimension, i said it before and i guess ill say it again. Most productive, I always kept an idea, like a campsite " you leave it how you found it." It works, but now everyone with a " degree" from a pussyied out school is some kind of boris spassky chess master, im supposed to listen to. They arent book smart, not even brochure smart. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se8KKhVKDUM
Get shot at and walk in fields of whizzing bullets all over, if not your not shit, so fuck you washington.
Are you more sort of interested in an early-50s dimension, with the rounded, bulbous look, or late 50s with tail fins?
I could go for an Edsel-dimension, myself. Distinctive. Unique.
Just think, when they perfect the self driving car, or even better the self driving Semi Tractor, we will be able to build massive vehicle bombs. We can hack the code and have the vehicle drive itself into whatever target we want.
aaaaah, just a thot.
You know, the advancement of technology can have so many unintended consequences. Of course the Iphone gives you 50 different ways to leave your lover, or you can just use it as a trigger.
You just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free
not even a thot
Yea and its so bad I want to go to S Carolina and SEE the dead bodies at the funerals.
sometimes i wonder about this guy PCR.
reminds me of someone screaming fire in a crowded room.
he comes out with the obvious, as if to remind, in this case the neocons, what their mission is and should continue to be.
we all know this sh*it PCR so now why don't you do something to help solve the problem instead of just hysterically screaming about it.
this armagddon you talk about is going to flatten the world neo-cons and all.
all your f*cking zionists and their wannabes will also be toasted.
no bunker and surely no primitive god is going to save anyone.
so just put your head between your legs and kiss your *ss goodbye or wake the f*uck up and do something about it.
you do still have some influence don't you? or r u all just smoke and no fire?
Yes talk is easy. What do you plan to do or what should he do?
Known otherwise by Jeff Nielson at Bullionbullscanada as the"ONE BANK".
By the way bullionbullscanada is hacked right now and not working. Too much truth there.
He started well and then lost the plot, I was waiting for the Moon landings were faked for political gain to be rolled out and unicorns are real, but he just managed to stop himself from going full retard, pity.
Look in the mirror.
And see one of the neoconservative's 'useful idiots'.
Take a look at yourself.
Paul Craig Roberts describes people like you to a 'T'.
Wake up your ideas.
Expand your brain.
Take a look at the facts.
Its because people like you refuse to face reality, cannot grasp the real picture, resort to snide insults instead of real rebuttle, we face nuclear war.
3000 people were sacrificed on the altar of US imperialism and war and all you can do is snigger.
What a fool.
Look in the mirror mog.
And see a gullible fool who plays right into the governments hands.
Its because of people like you that the Government finds it so easy to control public opinion.
Expand your Brain.
Take a look at the facts.
Its because people like you refuse to face reality, cannot grasp the real picture, resort to snide insults instead of real rebuttle, we face nuclear war.
And a damn sight more that 3000 people have died at the alter of US Imperialism, and you can stop shiggering now.
Ran out of arguments?
One of Paul Craig Roberts best articles.
Thanks.
A must read and a must post on.
It is now a case of War or Peace.
And it looks increasingly like war.
Wolfowitz brought us ISIS
Got US to fight Israels wars by proxy in trumped up reasons to invade IRAQ
And IRAQ debacle brought us ISIS.
The guy doesnt have a clue
I posted a comment on huff post yesterday, re confederate flag.
Some cunt called mitt Romney wants to "take it" down.
My comment:
'Dear Mitt
Jade helm approaches as Mr Charlton Heston proudly held aloft his rifle at a recent NRL and said "Over my dead body"
Needless to say my comment disappeared quicker than obamas birth certificate.
Pax Romana 2.0 doctrine seem to be the fastest way of destroying a super power status. Roma did it by grossly underestimating everybody else and naively believing in its capacity to bring "peace and civilization". First most of battles were won, but then wars started going lost after grabbing more Roma could handle. Germany committed the same mistake with Russia during WWII. Numerous conflicts since Vietnam too have demonstrated again conventional armies´ restricted capacity of waging unconventional guerilla wars. An accepted military template requires a tenfold manpower to fight such an enemy and no army has this much troops, if the larger Islamic region from Morocco to Pakistan and down to Sub Sahara were to explode with several new regional wars emerging. Massive airstrikes have not defeated IS and engagement to Yemen followed as if there were no lesson to be taken from the defeat in Vietnam. A mob of 20 000- 30 000 IS fighters cannot be controlled, but entire world would work out well, although missions Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya have turned sour and look more like hit and run accidents at a cost you cannot not afford. No doubt Russia and China can see the writing on the wall and wait for US to bleed itself to weakness when acquiring more enemies it can handle. Thereafter the fruit is ripe for picking by patiently waiting challengers. China uses much of its economic muscle to infrastructure mega projects in Africa and South and Central America, while paranoid idiots try cover it all by military interventions. A burst of the current economic bubble, largest known to man, may change the power balance at one blow, because collapses tend to happen unexpectedly and then mercilessly fast.
In a recent trip to Africa, I saw almost as many Chinese workers as Africans!
While the US is busy squandering resources against Russia and tussling with China, the wily Chinese are indeed building a massive presence in Africa.
TPP has an African nations appendage for this very reason to keep China out of Asian as well as African markets
The West created Putin and made him a very powerful leader.
The West introduced market reforms to Russia that bought chaos, created the Oligarchs and left the majority with next to nothing.
The majority had the Western freedom to do what they wanted but no money to do anything at all (even eat in a lot of cases).
Putin restored order to the chaos and the majority had now seen how hollow the Western freedoms are if you have no money.
The grass is no longer greener on the other side of the fence and Putin has popularity ratings at over 80%, something other Western leaders can only dream of.
Putin, can you help us with our oligarchs?
You need only read a bit of 'Roman History and Shakespeare'.
To then congratulate this informed fellows profound understanding of where we stand today.
The west USA are the "new communists"
The Zionist Neocon agenda is just the politics of a parasite people. They came pretty far along in the USSR. The host died, so the parasites latched onto another host to drain and dominate.
Some amateur geopolitics on a sunday :
the US - Russia divide is "fake". The geopolitical reality of a US-Russian interest to contain Europe has not changed completely since WW2. We can witness a similar approach of both the Anglos and Russia towards Greece ( that is, using Greece as an instrument to contain Europe ).
If Russia decides to draw closer to Europe, US will draw closer to China ( and try to organize a revolution in Russia ). If Russia pulls further away from Europe, Europe will try to grow closer to China. A Chinese-Russian-American block is no equilibrium and would ultimately undermine the Chinese.
E.g. : The strategy to an ascending Europe has been to use Russia to push back against this ( Crimea, Eastern Ukraine ). And this pulling away from Europe by Russia has seen the Europeans now unwilling to criticise the Chinese. Can anybody provide me a link of a major European politician sternly criticizing the Chinese island buillding in the South China sea that the Americans are whining about ?
A lot hinges on Brexit or no Brexit, or a third way. The Brits are in the best position they have been in for many years, and are now able to become the center of a new equilibrium. America could very well become more peripheral in world affairs once again.
Bottom line of the story : Washington loses, London wins (Anglos stay on top in any case)
(as for the Middle East : use your own fantasy)
USA/UK/Israel = the real axis of evil
Fact is the USA cannot compete with China in business. Because since WW2 the USA had a monopoly on most business in the world with the dollar being world reserve currency.
Thats changing.
Also,the USA is now populated by FAT retards , many of whom couldn't even pass their own citizenship exam.
USA might have lots of firepower but in a ground war the USA would be dead meat.
Get some sleep.
I slept fine. its lunch time here 1332 CET (Central European Time)
Hope your one brain cell thats on life support recovers soon.
You may have missed my point. I actually think that it is ONE freaking brain cell running things here. It is down-right frightening to me HOW we think (or not), how we are acting and what is up next with our Hegemonic actions. We present ourselves to the world as "spreading Democracy" when we are in fact a republic and it is not working well. I feel powerless. It is worst ever feeling to be American.
Whoa, belly-laugh. It matters not how well one thinks as it takes but a single brain cell to push a button. It IS a matter of HOW MANY WEAPONS one has and me-thinks it just might be Amerika.
Whoa, belly-laugh. It matters not how well one thinks as it takes but a single brain cell to push a button. It IS a matter of HOW MANY WEAPONS one has and me-thinks it just might be Amerika.
You are absolutely wrong.
I do no root for war and do respect America's military might, but to argue that brain power does not matter ? It will increasingly be problematic for the US that both Europe and China simply have more brains (literally).
Do not forget that public morale and fighting spirit matter hugely as well when it comes to war. Are you able to fire-up and motivate people to fight or not ? Let me say that on that front the US currently looks particularly weak ( thank God ). US public is tired of war, hence the continuous stress on "no boots on the ground" and "military advisers". A few years ago I heard/ read somewhere that more US soldiers had committed suicide than had been killed in battle. Maybe that is all you need to know.

thanks, do not remember this but looked it up. But I have to say that individual cases, however tragic, help me little in seeing the big picture. I will spare you the alternative "conspiracy theory" that springs up in my mind as to what really could have happened.
Vietnam?
the US - Russia divide is "fake"
Antony Sutton among others have clearly spelled this out. It's a cooperative effort.
I'd add the China sabre rattling as well.
Slick Willy gave them the technology.
The divide between humans and marine tunicates is fake.
Fake, i tell you!
We are all part of lifekind! Save the tunicates!
It was the state of the battlefield in 1945 that enabled Washington to see the entire world as its oyster roast. The collapse of the USSR was just another swallow.

http://www.icenews.is/2015/06/04/czech-planes-to-guard-iceland-airspace/
The Czech Republic is deploying five multirole fighter jets to protect Iceland’s airspace for six weeks while Canada partakes in US-led operations against IS, announced the country’s defence minister Petr Medek.
The Czech government made the decision on Wednesday after the defence ministry received a request from NATO’s headquarters two weeks ago, explained Medek.
NATO member states alternate in protecting Iceland’s airspace as the North Atlantic nation does not have military aircraft. Czech jets will have the job in July and August while their Canadian counterparts are deployed to the Middle East to join the ongoing fight against IS.
IS has gained control of large swathes of land across Syria and Iraq, and an international coalition led by the US has been carrying out airstrikes in both countries since September last year, targeting a number of key Islamist positions.
IS-linked organisations also operate in Libya, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan and have been behind a number of terrorist attacks in Europe.
Btw Czechs lease their 14 Gripen aircrafts from Sweden, Czech minister for defence is a former theather actor, the whole NATO plans and propaganda is a very bad screenplay created by insane psychopats and the regular folks in central europe see this.
Here is the problem:
"for six weeks while Canada partakes in US-led operations against IS, announced the country’s defence minister Petr Medek."
I would say this is an escalation....
It is easy for “Just Us” to talk tough and think that a nuclear war is good for them, since once started they have approximately ten years of:
1. Safe and comfortable housing in various underground facilities.
2. No elections, continuous martial law, no jury trials, full control of information, suspension of state rights, etc…
3. Elimination of at least 50% of the population which solves a lot of problems in their minds.
4. Rebuild a national infrastructure that needs rebuilding anyway.
They only have to ensure that those who survive believe that their opposition started it and were “evil, bad guys, in league with Satan, etc…”. In response, “Just Us” responded bravely, courageously, “doing God's work” or similar horse manure.
The only ties that will ever truly bind different nations together as allies over the long term are based on race, ethnicity and the cultures that derive from them. This stems from the fact that contrary to cabalist propaganda and doctrine, diversity is not strength. It weakens nations.
George W. Bush had an opportunity to rebuild US ties with white Russia after the end of the cold war which he squandered by succumbing to pressure from the cabal and placing Israel’s interests ahead of those of the American people’s. The best evidence of this is our foolish involvement with Iraq – a war which was fought under false pretenses to protect Israel, not further US interests. The failure to nurture our relationship with Russia broke what could have been a developing trust between the US and Russian peoples. Obama is just as beholden to the cabal as Bush was.
The American people of white European descent need to understand that we need to align with our brothers in Europe, Canada, white Russia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere against forces that seek to exterminate our peoples and our cultures in the name of a global hegemony run by the cabal. This global hegemony is not good for other races and ethnicities either, because they also have a right to freedom and self-determination.
The recent uptick in hostilities between the US and Russia have been fomented by the cabal (reference efforts by Soros in the Ukraine, for example) with the intent of dividing us – for the exact reason that the cabal is under threat. They are increasingly desperate, and just like in WW I and WW II, they are willing to fight to the death of the last white man of European descent to protect their power.
Yes, the power elite have been using US military forces to accomplish their agenda.
The agenda: take the pressure off Israel. Also, possibly create a homeland back-up in Ukraine, since most of the Khazars are from this geographical area, but I digress.
The agenda also involves financial hegemony. We all know 'money' knows no nationality. If the elites can succeed in dismantling Muslim countries and promote sunni-shia war, they can then dump the US while they move their economic base to China and the southeast Asian countries.
The result of a US/Russian/China conflict will see the US lose badly and possibly suffer nuclear attacks. If they so desired, Russia and China could actually build an invasion force, were they to want to expend that much capital for such an infrastructure. Considering the mineral wealth of Africa and Russia, I doubt it would be worth it to them.
At any rate, The US would be kaput.
It is up to the US People to topple these gangsters before they go completely out of control.
Thanks for your comments.
Frankly if the cabal "dumps the US while they move their economic base to China and the southeast Asian countries", that would be the best thing that could happen to our people. Who needs a parasite?
We don't need the cabal, and we are better off rid of them. Let the Chinese be infested with them for a while. If they think they will be better off with them, then maybe they deserve what they get.
As for our relationship with the Muslim world, I have idea. Let's cut all ties with Israel, start guarding our own interests for a change, and then evaluate how "hostile" the Muslim world really is toward America. We might be surprised at how much of the "hostility on the part of extremist Muslims against America" is really based on our unqualified support for Israel and its policies in the Middle East.
Mark Twain - "It's easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled."
- Think this entire (excellent) article.
- Think Bernie Sanders.
- Think why Bernie Sanders will be marginalized and can never be president.
- Think why, instead, it would be election involving two royal names (Clinton/Bush).
- Think why America's Roman Spectacle of elections deceives every voter.
- Think why Congress eventually succumbs to everything (desired) as it will
with the current trade pact impasse.
- Think why you just wasted a lot of thought if I tricked you into thinking about any
of this stuff. It's useless.
As per Dr. Paul Craig Roberts back in 2010 ''The USA is owned lock,stock and barrel by the Zionists and the Zionist lobby.
They always make sure the 2 candidates are Pro Israel so its always a win/win for the Jews.
Hillar's events are controlled and scripted hero worship events. Playing tight like this is hers to lose
Sanders events are like rock concerts filled to overflow capacity. Raking in millions on $50 a donor
All of the energy and enthusiasm is with him because only the party apparatchiks want Hillary. She's old news to indy and marginal voters
Progressives want nothing to do with her. They see her as Obama in a pantsuit. Moar of the same: war and O-Sterity to become Hill-sterity
Sanders' plane will crash on the way to his first debate with Hillary
MORE HILARIOUS BULLSHIT FROM ROBERTS...
Who is Obama’s Assistant Secretary of State for the Ukrainian part of the world?
It is the neoconservative Victoria Nuland.
Who is Obama’s National Security advisor? It is Susan Rice, a neoconservative.
Who is Obama’s Ambassador to the UN? It is Samantha Power, a neoconservative.
They are not neocons. In fact, anti-neocon.
Roberts never says anything bad about Putin.
Give me a break. LOL.
How about Russian opposition leaders, both dead or poisoned in 2015?
Idiocy. pure idiocy you spew. Nuland is Zionist kikeroach, so is Susan Rice (Crypto Kike) and Samantha Power (neoliberal crypto Kike).
Samantha Power is a big fan of humanitarian bombing.

Substitute "USraeli" for "neoconservative" in this piece and you have a much more truthful and effective article.

Had a conversation with a guy I know casuallly y'day re 9/11
As PCR states. 16 intelligence agencies failed miserably. Four times in the same day
1. Did amyone lose their job?
2. Did anyone go to jail for negligence, incompetence or collusion?
3. Did this cost Bush vs the Dems in 2002, 2004?
No. All those involved got medals. Bush expanded his power during a recession and wash handily re elected against pro war Kerry

Alex Jones interviews BYU Prof. David Jones
The neoconservative unipower of the United States of America was rendered ineffectual March 10th 2008 when Bear Stearns underwent a bear raid. Exactly six months later the death blow to neoconservative unipower manifested September 18th with the Chapter 11 bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. Since that time the Hegemony of the USA has disappeared
into the ether Worldwide. The United States of America is a failed totalitarian dictatorship that only has memories of their long lost leadership status. At this juncture in history we can all see that the USA has no power to corrupt absolutely given their newfound status as a bankrupt superpower with only delusions of self importance, and hubris, to carry the day.
Up yours, Council on Foreign Relations.

If that is truly the case, than why don't the let interest rates adjust according to the market?
China is going all over the world making business deals . Meanwhile the USA goes all over the world bullying people and threatening them.
Guess who will win in the end?
USA wants WAR, China just wants to do business
Just watched the Lone Gunman pilot again. That show aired six months before Sept. 11. It brought to light the feasibility of remote controlled cars and airplanes, airplanes used as weapons, and the World Trade Center as the target. It highlighted the emergence of chips that would make it possible to monitor everyone's conversations and locations and the Intelligence Agencies role in the silent completion of the Coup taking over the U.S government.
The show is now relegated to the conspiracy theory category even though everything it suggested came true. The show had great possibilities but Hollywood made a joke of it in the subsequent episodes and it failed.
Everything Mr. Roberts wrote is indisputable but like the Lone Gunman he is characterized as an "Out There" conspiracy theorist. The nation has been taken over by fascists and let's call the Neo Cons what they are.,,, War Mongering Neo Nazi's with a Napoleonic twist.
The Nazi takeover has occurred in all western nations in particular the U.S and the E.U. Just like Germany, the populations of these Nazi states seem content with their impending destruction and some are actually complicit hoping for a few scraps of what's left. Anyone against the Nazi's are instantly categorized as unpatriotic regardless of the truth they utter. Patriotism today is complete subjegation to the all powerful state by those with weak minds incapable of rational independent thought.
The USA govt hires people to comment on places like Huffpo and perhaps even here. Their job is to ridicule critical thinkers and label them 'tin foil hat people''.
This is well known.
Napoleon is said to have said : Politics is modern fatality. (Thus making him fall for that ancient fatality called war, to which he reverted as a failed politician not having convinced Europe to follow his Republican model, albeit all dressed in the purple of Emperor--some contradiction!)
We can say today in the current experiment of Oligarchy gone global : Finance is the post modern fatality.
And like for Napoleon it will once again, as a failed experiment, lead to war !
My ONLY criticism of the article is that "World Government Fascists" would be a better description of neoconservatives as it describes what they actually want.
I used to do Progressive radio interviews. I never believed the story on 9/11. Too neat. Too fantastical that all of these agencies could fail 4 times and no one lost their job or election in the after math
Turkish hottie Sibel Edmonds, Aug. 6 memo, Project Bojinka. Condi Rice gave up the plot when she pantomimed, "we never could have expected hijacked passenger liners used as weapons"
I interviewed David Griffin who wrote New Pearl Harbor and BYU professor David Jones who explained thermate vs thermite
Long story short, whenever anyone still says that the attack happened exactly as said: 19 Arabs who had never taken off or landed jets flew them with military precisionand hit 3 of 4 targets
I ask these dupes several questions
1. Building 7: 47 stories tall. Not hit by a plane. Why was the order given to "pull it" demolitions speak for imploding old Vegas casinos. It takes weeks to plant those explosives for controlled demolition
2. Airline fuel has heat dampening additives so that fuel ignited in a crash doesn't burn as hot so people have a chance to survive. Impossible that fuel ignition could have burned hot enough to melt the suspension floor welds for the 10 second freefall that collapsed the towers. Physically impossible
3. Never before or since has a plane hit a skyscraper and pancaked the building. In fact sometime after 2001 a plane hit the upper levels of a building in Spain. No freefall.. The Flames didn't collapse the building.
4.Why was the evidence of a crime, the metal detritus from the collapse not collected as evidence. Instead it was scrapped and moved to the Phillipines. David Jones lost his job over talking about this. Thermite vs. thermate. Google it re: 9/11
5. Why did the most defended building probably in the world, the Pentagon not get off a shot against a passenger plane coming in? Not one defensive salvo was fired. Google, "Does the order still stand ?" Re: Pentagon
I could go on for pages. If you still believe the scenario as scripted, you deserve what you get.
What I find encouraging is that someone like PCR is now able to write this candidly where other sources see it as a third rail. Even Progressive sites like the Nation refuse to engage in ANY credible counter narratives to the fairy tale we were told about what happened that Day
"The collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in the rise of the neoconservatives to power and influence in the US government."
False, the religious right and their lock-step voter marching capabilities resulted in the rise of the neoconservatives to power.
Nature abhors a vacuum; the end of US unipower would only pave the way for the next. "Meet the new boss..."
Americans like the narative they are being fed - all the anti-this and that. The need for there to be bad guys. The need to be winning in the international conflict du jour. So very Orwellian. Even when the narative is shown to have gaping holes, the propaganda has been so satisfying that they will ignore the obvious realities for the comfort of following a strong, bullying mob.
The bankster Washington Empire of Debt, Fraud and Chaos is about to morph into the New World Order Empire of Debt, Fraud and Chaos with the coerced passage of the fascist agenda of “secret” trade agreements that supersedes American sovereignty as a nation, Congress and American Law. The totalitarian, criminal fascist that destroyed our American democracy and Free Enterprise System of capitalism, free from multinational corporate monopoly criminal domination of our economy; are now escaping prosecution for their financial and Treason crimes.
China and Russia will not be beaten down by the criminals, so war is inevitable; the psychopathic, fascist criminals will blow up the world rather than be brought to Justice. The fascist criminals have already blown up the world financial markets and our democracy.
Criminal Psychopaths do not think like regular people, this is an insight into how a psychopathic New World Order Empire nut job thinks.
Greece is the birthplace for western civilization and democracy and in a globalized world western civilization must be destroyed to make way for the fascist New World Order Empire. The same for the USA; democracy and our Free Enterprise System, free from corporate monopoly economy, must be destroyed to make way for the new empire of fascist in the New World Order Empire.
This is our last chance to prosecute the bankster criminals and repudiate the DEBT.
Power corrupts, and absolute power attracts the most corrupt.
- my correction of Machiavelli.
And this is true no matter what country you are looking at.
No war from America as long as Obama is in charge. He is just not into it.
As always, Dr. Roberts is spot on. Unfortunately, for various reasons, many people (possibly the majority) are simply unable to face the truth, or to go where the evidence leads them. We have been conquered by "democracy" with universal suffrage. I quit voting 20 years ago because it is absurd.
America is not impotent,
It can print money
Common everyone ! lets FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT !
I can only imagine that Putin just has a glass of expensive vodka and laughs and shakes his head as he thinks about Obama and the U.S.
It's as if everyone forgot Obama telling Medved to tell Putin he would get things done after he was reelected. He's on record. It'a all theatre, the Soviets own our government, lock stock and all the barrels. World government has always been the soviets goal, they will achieve there end via the US, and it's self destruction. Amazing and masterful, especially since so few see this, and it's an in your face fact. Look how Putin is now the good guy, the man who once ran the KGB. Just like Bush ran the CIA. Yup, theatre..
I agree he laughs at obama, mainly because of the double cross that's coming. Those in the US think they will be part of the new world order. Gonna be a major double cross that is sure to catch most above ground....
