Paul Craig Roberts Warns "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together"
Submitted by Paul Craig Roberts,
Washington’s IQ follows the Fed’s interest rate - it is negative. Washington is a black hole into which all sanity is sucked out of government deliberations.
Washington’s failures are everywhere visible. We can see the failures in Washington’s wars and in Washington’s approach to China and Russia.
The visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping, was scheduled for the week-end following the Pope’s visit to Washington. Was this Washington’s way of demoting China’s status by having its president play second fiddle to the Pope? The President of China is here for week-end news coverage? Why didn’t Obama just tell him to go to hell?
Washington’s cyber incompetence and inability to maintain cyber security is being blamed on China. The day before Xi Jinping’s arrival in Washington, the White House press secretary warmed up President Jinping’s visit by announcing that Obama might threaten China with financial sanctions.
And not to miss an opportunity to threaten or insult the President of China, the US Secretary of Commerce fired off a warning that the Obama regime was too unhappy with China’s business practices for the Chinese president to expect a smooth meeting in Washington.
In contrast, when Obama visited China, the Chinese government treated him with politeness and respect.
China is America’s largest creditor after the Federal Reserve. If the Chinese government were so inclined, China could cause Washington many serious economic, financial, and military problems. Yet China pursues peace while Washington issues threats.
Like China, Russia, too, has a foreign policy independent of Washington’s, and it is the independence of their foreign policies that puts China and Russia on the outs with Washington.
Washington considers countries with independent foreign policies to be threats. Libya, Iraq, and Syria had independent foreign policies. Washington has destroyed two of the three and is working on the third. Iran, Russia, and China have independent foreign policies. Consequently, Washington sees these countries as threats and portrays them to the American people as such.
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin will meet with Obama next week at the UN meeting in New York. It is a meeting that seems destined to go nowhere. Putin wants to offer Obama Russian help in defeating ISIS, but Obama wants to use ISIS to overthrow Syrian President Assad, install a puppet government, and throw Russia out of its only Mediterranean seaport at Tartus, Syria. Obama wants to press Putin to hand over Russian Crimea and the break-away republics that refuse to submit to the Russophobic government that Washington has installed in Kiev.
Despite Washington’s hostility, Xi Jinping and Putin continue to try to work with Washington even at the risk of being humiliated in the eyes of their peoples. How many slights, accusations, and names (such as “the new Hitler”) can Putin and Xi Jinping accept before losing face at home? How can they lead if their peoples feel the shame inflicted on their leaders by Washington?
Xi Jinping and Putin are clearly men of peace. Are they deluded or are they making every effort to save the world from the final war?
One has to assume that Putin and Xi Jinping are aware of the Wolfowitz Doctrine, the basis of US foreign and military policies, but perhaps they cannot believe that anything so audaciously absurd can be real. In brief, the Wolfowitz Doctrine states that Washington’s principal objective is to prevent the rise of countries that could be sufficiently powerful to resist American hegemony. Thus, Washington’s attack on Russia via Ukraine and Washington’s re-militarization of Japan as an instrument against China, despite the strong opposition of 80 percent of the Japanese population.
“Democracy?” “Washington’s hegemony don’t need no stinkin’ democracy,” declares Washington’s puppet ruler of Japan as he, as Washington’s faithful servant, over-rides the vast majority of the Japanese population.
Meanwhile, the real basis of US power—its economy—continues to crumble. Middle class jobs have disappeared by the millions. US infrastructure is crumbling. Young American women, overwhelmed with student debts, rent, and transportation costs, and nothing but lowly-paid part-time jobs, post on Internet sites their pleas to be made mistresses of men with sufficient means to help them with their bills. This is the image of a Third World country.
In 2004 I predicted in a nationally televised conference in Washington, DC, that the US would be a Third World country in 20 years. Noam Chomsky says we are already there now in 2015. Here is a recent quote from Chomsky:
“Look around the country. This country is falling apart. Even when you come back from Argentina to the United States it looks like a third world country, and when you come back from Europe even more so. The infrastructure is collapsing. Nothing works. The transportation system doesn’t work. The health system is a total scandal–twice the per capita cost of other countries and not very good outcomes. Point by point. The schools are declining . . .”
Another indication of a third world country is large inequality in the distribution of income and wealth. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2172.... ">According to the CIA itself, the United States now has one of the worst distributions of income of all countries in the world. The distribution of income in the US is worse than in Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Canada, Cote d’Ivoire, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Estonia, Ethiopia, Finland, France, Germany, Ghana, Greece, Guinea, Guyana, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, South Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Liberia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Mauritania, Mauritius, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Morocco, Nepal, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Senegal, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, UK, Uzbekistan, Venezuela, Vietnam, and Yemen.
The concentration of US income and wealth in the hands of the very rich is a new development in my lifetime. I ascribe it to two things.
One is the offshoring of American jobs. Offshoring moved high productivity, high-value-added American jobs to countries where the excess supply of labor results in wages well below labor’s contribution to the value of output. The lower labor costs abroad transform what had been higher American wages and salaries and, thereby, US household incomes, into corporate profits, bonuses for corporate executives, and capital gains for shareholders, and in the dismantling of the ladders of upward mobility that had made the US an “opportunity society.”
The other cause of the extreme inequality that now prevails in the US is what Michael Hudson calls the financialization of the economy that permits banks to redirect income away from driving the economy to the payment of interest in service of debt issued by the banks.
Both of these developments maximize income and wealth for the One Percent at the expense of the population and economy.
As Michael Hudson and I have discovered, neoliberal economics is blind to reality and serves to justify the destruction of the economic prospects of the Western World. It remains to be seen if Russia and China can develop a different economics or whether these rising superpowers will fall victim to the “junk economics” that has destroyed the West. With so many Chinese and Russian economists educated in the US tradition, the prospects of Russia and China might not be any better than ours.
The entire world could go down the tubes together.

All the Russians/Chinese need is to fund texas separatists... or bribe some american generals to overthrow Obama.
We are due for an economic re set anytime......all currencies goes poof!
PCR is always good at rehashing crappy kabuki story-lines with a dose of "I was once a DC insider" gravitas...
And while there will be a lot of going down together (seems un-avoidable at this point), questions is who will rise back up first?
Hint: not nations considered "westerley". so to speak...
“or bribe some american generals to overthrow Obama.”
It might only take a few smooth trannies nowadays.

History.....who needs it?
Let's just wing this crap.
Our Washington leaders are pitiful indeed.
'Leader' implies people at the front with some direction. Perhaps a different word would be more appropriate for this global circlejerk cadre!
The inverse of 'Leader' is ‘follower’
Anytime you hear a person say, “There’s no leadership”…. They are telegraphing to you, “I need someone to follow."
So Chomsky would rather live in Argentina?
Who's stopping him?
Probably everyone, who helping him? No one in Argentina.
PCR is a fucking idiot to suggest China is peaceful and not a threat.
You are the fucking idiot if you see US as less of a threat to humanity than China.
and you are a braindead asshole, if you got that from reading my post
NOTE how not one of the cowardly simpletons who junked my post, could explain WHY I was wrong....What a bunch of sniveling cowards....
Indeed - we all quake in the presence of Internet Tough Guys©
Now boys, let’s not get too messy in fight club, Boehner would not approve :-D.
Given the direction of the U.S., China is not really all that much worse anymore, nonetheless, they ARE worse).
They are asserting themselves because they are resource constrained and they are now standing up to the historical hegemony of the U.S..
Their mid-east forays are just a signal and a sideshow.
The main event is the South China Sea.
ILook at what they have done in Australia, Africa and South America building business and ties.
Much of their future commerce in that regard depends on South China sea routes and they have no desire to allow the U.S.to control that access.
And.. you can’t blame the Chinese accelerated rise to power on anybody but the small globalist cabal and their lackeys in the US government and trans-national corporations
f you want to know the course and the outcome, review US/Japan relations in the 1930’s.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
said the sniveling coward who could only muster name calling as his most potent comeback.
I junked you and you were the first one to use the name calling so I would junk you even more for being a hypocrite.
are you a liar, stupid, or just a stupid liar?
'at the front' implies people ahead of others. Perhaps different words would be more appropriate for this global circlejerk cadre?
When The Amish saw Jaycee(rapper and admitted drug dealing criminal) strutting through what was once the most prestigious and respected address in the world, 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, we knew it was time to start battening down the hatches.

So how's the crime stats in your city? Violent crime up 60%? 80%?
That's the legacy.

I just love how 4 down arrowing cowards junk your factual post, but not one of the pussies has the balls to explain where you are wrong.
A down arrow means we don't agree. It does not mean we think your post is worth replying to. Get over yourself.
Actually, it means you cannot refute what someone has posted, so you take the coward's way out.
Not one of your down votes, but you are falling for the 'race' card.
Most of the people I know, of all colours and beliefs, seem like OK folks to me.
Race and religion are used by those who want to control as tools to divide humanity and have them fight each other rather than the true enemies of humanity.
If you can't see past skin colour you are part of the problem, not part of the solution.
Government/Banking is where almost all humanity's problems arise.
Race card? Really? 95% of blax are racist trash who think it's OK to discriminate against someone for being white.
His post was spot on.
Seems like you are OK being fucked over every day by banksters of all colours, as long as you can convince yourself that melanin deficiency makes you superior.
Takes all kinds to make a world.
Thing is, there are some kinds the world would be better off without.
Sorry dude, but you are wrong. There is one race that rises above the rest in all things related to crime and violence. This is because they only have an 85 IQ, on average, and stupid people are far more prone to violence. Stop making excuses for them. It's no coincidence that every single area where they make up over half the population turns into a shithole. It's also no coincidence that there is not one single functional economy is all of sub Saharan Africa.
They don't have an average IQ of 85. It is 100. Same as whites, and jews, and hispanics, and aliens, and dogs. Every group and subgroup has an average IQ of 100. Always have and always will. Thats the way the IQ nonsense works.
The have an average IQ of 78, which makes reasoning nearly impossible. That explains why so many kneegrows act out in fits of senseless violence.

"I was once a DC insider"
You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender.
Which websites do those young women seeking to be made mistresses of men of means post on?
I'm good for fat-free yogurt, diet Coke, ramen, and organic tofu one a week. I can probably score big time at that site.
I waiting until I can get Kate Beckinsale for a can of cold beanie weenies. I'm thinking next September I'll have buy in.
Redtube
"You don't understand. I coulda had class. I coulda been a contender."
I do think that there is large dose of spite in PCR's writings, probably as a result of "The Establishment's" refusal to elect him to the CFR. However, better late than never? The one's that do get religion always do so after the event, which is, of course, part of the problem also....
I still am trying to find out who the man is in the hidden hand portrait behind him on his website... anyone?
In contrast, when Obama visited China, the Chinese government treated him with politeness and respect. Bullshit. They grouped him with the women in a photo op. He is probably still butt hurt from that one! lol.
After all the Reggie stories the Chinese were probably afraid to group Obama in a photo with all the men around him.
Dunno. I assume every man in China can beat Obama in a fight.

Leave Middleton out of it... and you misspelled grope.
I doubt he even noticed. If he did, they told him it was because he is such a stud, and he felt proud of the honor, not humiliated.
"Kabuki story-lines"? Did you make that up yourself or something?
Whoever is least affected, meaning none of the big economies.
I don't think you appreciate the subtle push of an old adage: THe bigger they are, the harder they fall.
You can keep nursing dreams of manifest destiny as they turn into mani-festering realities....
Empires don't return. Neither do schoolyard bullies after they get whipped.
cussTURDS last stand?
More defeatist doom porn from PCR. Ignore the foreign policy theatre which is a red herring. We need to concentrate on domestic corruption issues and CLEAN HOUSE if we are going to recover from a failed state that was imploded in a controlled demolition. Does Pcr ever state the obvious? Thus guy is an American poser
For us outside the U.S. who are heavily affected by U.S. foreign policy this policy is certainly not a red herring but a very real and concrete threat to our lives and liberties.
Let's examine PCR's take on 'foreign policy'. He was the first occupant of the William E. Simon Chair for Economic Policy at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, then part of Georgetown University. Who is on the board of CSIS? Globalists like Henry Kissinger and Zbigniew Brzezinski. So if you like Jesuit fronted foreign policy, as opposed to what is in the US best interests, then continue to eat up PCR's external boogeyman bullshit. Divide and conquer.
Foreign policy is a red herring? All that money that goes overseas plays no part in the corruption? PCR may not be perfect but he's got a much better grasp than you.
How ungrateful you are, Slumdog .... where would you be .... without an England .... shitting by the railroad tracks ?
I have no problem with Paul Craig Roberts.
The U.S.A. and E.U. are headed for economic disaster, but not Russia, China, or perhaps a few other places.
We believed too many "commercials."
Look at the roads, sidewalks, social conditions. The U.S.A. is falling apart. The Mafia State Bosses will move to nice neighborhoods in New Zealand.
So long, dumb suckers.
Yeah, and posting a PCR commentary on ZH has a certain way of stirring-up the hornets nest on a lazy Sunday, whether you like him or not.
ORI...
I had a vivid dream...more like a vivid nightmare...you know the type...the type that is a view into the future.
I was in Earth Orbit and looking back upon the nighttime side of the World.
And then it hapened. I could see the contrails and the subsequent Nuclear Blasts. I could see the contrails of the retailitory strike, not as many as from the initial strike, but far too many. Once again I could see the subsequent Nuclear Blasts.
The region was Pakistan and India.
And that is where it all began, ORI, absolutely contrary to what has been expected, ORI.
So I do not believe any Nation, that we know as a Nation today, will rise from the ashes, ORI.
The only creatures that may survive this is the cockroaches.
I agree that the most likely place for a first-strike is Pakistan-India. It's nearly a 100% probable that Pakistan will fire at someone, They have nearly no control over their arsenal, and since they truly hate India, India is the most likely target.
9/11 demonstrated clearly that US military computer systems are not secure. They were taken over by the israelites and no one in the military had a clue what was going on. That's why no planes were scrambled. It's likely the secret government was absolutely aware of the compromise and had organized its being built into the systems.
Why the fuck would you think US nukes are secure? I would guess that the israelites can launch them any time they like. I would suggest that the US has less national control over its arsenal that any country in the world.
Any nations or ethnicities that have benefitted from parasiting on this failed, corrupt monetary system will also fall together.
The BRICS are sinking like stones. They tried to parasite off what they saw was an unending Western economic boom, unrealizing, or perhaps turning a blind eye to the fact that it has all been a bubble since the central banks took control of the currency.
Tell is your resume oh grand all seeing eye.
Your people are hurting, LL .... go help them .... start with Venerealzooela ?

Give me a minute, just rearranging the deckchairs.
Modern world going down means globalism goes down with it. It means that people and cultures can be free to develop in isolated pockets of civilization again. It means new languages will develop. New dialects. Instead of being trampled by whatever language is dominant according to the government and TV. New experimental societies and cultures. It'll be true diversity returning to the world instead of everyone acting the same, sounding the same, living the same, but just being different skin tones. Modern globalism is actually the death of diversity.

For most of human history we didn't have to worry about what was happening thousands of miles away because we had no way of knowing. People keep trying to build these giant empires and they keep failing, eventually. The gap between the fall of Rome and the re-establishment of the large, all powerful centralized state is called the "dark ages", but really men were more free during that time than they are today. Less work, less taxes, more freedom. No government sponsored invasions of your nation by millions of people from across the world.
Modern globalism is actually the death of diversity.
More and more are waking up to this. Is it enough, though, and are we in time?
I doubt that American Generals could be bribed as easily as our government politicians.
The Chinese are hacking us! The Chinese are hacking us!
Say it loud and long and everyone will agree
You must be some special kind of idiot to think the Chinese are not spying on us and hacking into our computers. Okay, so you are not special......
We have met the enemy, and it is us!
Of course, US is not hacking Chinese computers. They wouldn't do such a thing.
Actually, they are probably much cheaper to bribe. Dimon had to give Eric Holder a $77,000,000 per year salary to keep bankers out of prison. The generals are easily bribed with a mid 6 figure salary at some defense contractor. Some for even less.
Roger that. Another star (or the triple-crown...the 5-star emblem) or 20,000 more troops to offer to the slaughter and they will kiss the ring.
Au Contraire, Obama has been eviscerating the ranks of anyone in the Military with balls to stand to him.
Being a "Constitutional Law Professor". Obama knew the brass in the Military were his biggest threat to being called out for unconstitutional actions. So he's drove out the old guard and installed what he believes are yes men for the team.
Problem is, these are the very type to submit to bribery, yes men willing to follow the crowd....
Our biggest threat is running out of other people's money to feed the Ponzi that America has become, while at the same time the crowd says fuck you to Washington who governs against the will of the people...
Without enemies to loot, the Oligarchs would have been toast a long time ago and America would have been forced to return to it's blue collar agrarian roots, and prospered!
But now Washington is a paper tiger with no popular support. Our alleged Enemies are becoming their equals, therefor less apt to be looted by Obama's yes men, who do not have the support of the rank and file.
Will the ranks in the Military follow his appointed brass the next time Washington decides a sovereign countries Gold would be safer stored in NYC?
Petraeus? Went from a General to an Economic advisor at a large institution. KKR.
Revolving door fascism whether it be con-gress critter or military goon.
American generals and Admirals have been bribed off for some time now. Just ask Petraeus, Clark, or any of the rest. Their pensions from the Pentagon are just the small potatoes. The bribe is the multi million dollar consultant job they get after retirement. They could give a shit about this country.

Wesley Clark dumped his white wife and picked up a Chinese girl to breed into that genetic line. Zuckerberg would be another "one" doing the same. They have plans to infiltrate China, don't worry. Probably came down as orders. What do Zuckerberg and Wesley clark have in common? I'll let you figure it out.

China is just jealous of NSA's data gathering proficiency. It wants the same help from American companies.
Whenever I read Paul Craig Roberts inciteful commentary, I think, this guy worked at the Wall Street Journal and was a top level appointee of the conservative Reagan administration. And he is blasting the current supposedly liberal regime in power for being even more right wing in its economic policies than Reagan. That said, I would add a third category to his list of why the United States is becoming a poverty stricken banana republic and that is the outright criminalization of Congress, the White House and the Department of Justice. Everyone at the top of the organization pyramid in government is on the take. These looters are greedier than ever, making in some cases hundreds of millions of dollars in graft from their jobs, as Senator Feinstein did.
Dude only has a little more then a year left, with an obstructionist Congress. Seems kinda pointless.
Also, if you think all this is because Obama is President and not a Republican, you are extremely delusional.

I remember the Cuban missile crisis and all that entailed. I feel like I'm experiencing
deja vu all over again (thanks Yogi - that one's for you!).
I was a kid hiding under the desk. Somewhere I read that it did something to us, that exerience. They said it said "why get educated, why get married, why have kids, why buy a house"
I would expect it did do something like that.
It turned me into a hippie! (I got better)
All the doom and gloom shit is meant to depress people and prevent whites from reproducing. The prepper movement is a big part of this. You see people on ZH all the time saying, "why would anyone bring a child into a world this fucked up?" or "I'm sure glad I don't have kids." Meanwhile the brown and black people of the world are breeding like whites used to, 7+ children per women. Men with 3+ wives.
Why? Communism. One of the central tenants of communism is to destroy the people's belief in God and then, in the absence of faith, cause people to become depressed. Depressed, hopeless people are looking for a savior. And the communists will step into that void and be the "savior" you're looking for.
Is there anything more pathetic than a childless atheist? And these pathetic people will look down on poor Mexican families that have a bunch of children and a happy family life. While they sit alone in their shitty apartment on Facebook talking to other irrelevant, childless people. Or whatever it is these failures do all day.
So yes. They wanted to make you afraid. They terrorized you. They used psychological warfare against your generation to drive down white birth rates. And it worked wonderfully. America is a non-white country by 2040 guaranteed now. Mission accomplished. You are one victim out of hundreds of millions. Victims of the psychological warfare program waged against whites across the world, primarily via TV and movies, for many decades now. Save your family, throw away your TV.
Good thoughts with regards to the depression. Who is the main beneficiary of a depressed population? Wouldn't be the pharmaceutical industry now would it?
With regards to white population growth however, keep in mind that there are other factors as to why the White West is depopulating. Thankfully children mortality is way down and economics have changed to the point that jobs are being automated.
Another consideration is the impact constant population growth has on the environment. How many people can the planet feed and house "comfortably"? Places where population growth is still massive are offering little better than squalor, infant death or constant famine.
Progressive ideas and reformation need to be pushed in cultures where people are clinging to a book of laws written by a guy who was a warlord at best and a child molester at worst. You know what I'm talking about.
North America could easily support 1.5 billion people. If North America had similar population densities to Europe then there would be 1.5 billion people there. Europe is a bit over populated for the most part but the colder, poorer parts still have plenty of open space.
You should visit the U.S. and just drive 10 hours in any random direction then realize you've crossed 2 states and seen mostly trees. Then you'll have some idea of just how big the United States is and just how much undeveloped land there is.
Furthermore, whites are already less than 10% of the global population so WHITES ARE NOT THE FUCKING PROBLEM WHEN IT COMES TO OVER POPULATION. It's everyone ELSE that never accepted the genocide of their people and kept breeding like rabbits.
Try driving in Western Australia (The largest state in the world - Texas and Alaska are small fry) and driving *two days* to get the border into South Australia from the capital Perth; In that time passing less than a dozen towns each with populations of less than 500 (apart from Coolgardie and Norsman) and then you will see what is underdeveloped and sparse population density.
The difference is trees though. Who wants to live in a fuckin desert?
People seem to like Las Vagas ;)
In all seriousness though it's not all desert. There are several thousand square kms of habitable land, though fuck all after Norsman.
Who in the West is willing to stand up and say that their culture and society are superior to Islamic cultures and societies? This line of thinking is simply abhorrent to the modern day P.C. Western citizen. So instead you have Islamic supremacists conquering the West without a fight on the part of the conquered people.
If you aren't willing to make moral judgments and say that, oh something like child rape is wrong, then how can you force anything on anyone? In fact, the total lack of backbone in the West tells me that these decadent societies in socialist Europe deserve what they are getting - exterminated at the hands of Muslim invaders.
Your earlier comment on real diversity developing out of regional societies opposed to the state was better. This comment about whites being better simply leads to nationalism. Where is the white culture that has produced anything significant culturally, politically, economically, philosophically, or theologically for the past hundred years? Generally it is maligned, and certainly far from the dominant Western culture.
White culture destroyed itself, largely when it went to war with itself, but there are ideas which led to those wars which developed much earlier. Until another culture can develop with meaning then there can be no value in white culture. Feeding into nationalism means a return of the white culture that believes in nihilist capitalism, socialism, atheism, hedonism, feminism, and technocracy.
And Islam is not worse, it is just one system representative of a world gone to shit. Your example of child abusers could be said of Western culture as well. Boy Scouts, sports coaches, and the Catholic Church scandals ring a bell? Look back at history and you'll see that pederasty was a huge part of culture in Rome and Greece. Something went terribly wrong in those cultures and modern democracy is largely a repetition of those societies.
If people really want to fix the problem they have to look deeper, much deeper, into the origins. Your White Culture vs Islamic Culture is simply another two-party political scheme doomed to failure.
Someone told me the Berlin Blockage, Berlin Air-Drops, Berlin Wall Crisis of 1961 was the same.
Duck and cover !!!!
I remember the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Lived close to one of the largest US air bases in Europe (was the largest at one point, not sure if it still was in 60s, but likely still was) so I knew I wouldn't feel a thing if shit went bad.
Definite similarities these days, just happening in different parts of the world.
"The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together."
Hmm, Deja Vu.
I think as little of China's government as I do of the USA govt. Why should I care whether Obama likes the Pope more than whoever is squishing freedom in China?
China owns our debt. The pope came to plant his flag on the North American continent to announce he owns it.
If you say China owns the debt, ok with me. It is not my debt. And the Pope can claim....whatever.

I predict the world goes down with credit default swaps long before most anything else. War may follow, but it will be the unsustainable finances of the centrally planned collectivist states.
I predict the war will be started to avoid the financial embarassement. 1) War kills people so that helps to get rid of the pension deficit. 2) People don't care about their finances if they are fighting for their lives 3) The government debt can be justified by the government protecting the nation.
If there is a financial collapse, it will be blamed on China cyber attacks and an excuse for the USA to close down the financial markets and even internet on national security grounds.

How do you get rid of the pension deficit by killing off hundreds of thousands of people too young to collect a pension and are currently the ones paying for the pensions of old folks? And then there's the care of those that are maimed and survive.
I would love to see the internet shut down for even just a week. People would absolutely lose their shit not being able to satisfy their daily dose of social media NPD. It would be a sight to behold, and much popcorn would get consumed that day.
Try not taking a shower for 90 days this winter, and no popcorn to eat, it will be like heaven on Earth if you are preped up, timer bitches!!
That's what the army of Muslims is being brought into Europe for. To conscript them in about 5 or 10 years to go fight Russia in Ukraine.
I've been HOPING that's why the socialist jews are encouraging the wave of whetbax to enter America, but it's really about Diversity aka the WAR ON WHITES CHRISTIANS AND HETEROSEXUALS.....
Do you really think there will be a stampede by US citizens to be first in the queue to pickup their tin hat and rifle when their callup papers arrive in the mail? This will be pay back for the NWO.
I predict the war will end quickly - we will lose (unless all out nuclear where all will lose) Russians, Chinese, Iranians, etc. have the will to fight - they know they are under attack and their survival is at stake. They know they have righteoussness on their side. Americans on the other hand - are under the influence of delusion and propaganda and will soon find out they are not fighting for themselves but for a degenerate group of elites - largely wealthy powerful jews. Like the Russians under Stalin, they may rally to defend the Motherland - if attacked. But here in Amerika-we will not be attacked -we will be the aggressor. Their propaganda stops there. We will not fight and die to defend Zionism and Internationlist Wall Street banksters once TSHTF. We will rebel. We will rise up. We will regain our conscience, our humanity. That is our hope-our salvation and redemption for all the crimes that these degenerate elites have committed in our name - and using our power and wealth - most of which has been stolen and transferred to these Luciferian devils.
I gave you an up vote for your attitude. But your comment reveals a certain level of igniorance about the shithiole the the jews have dug for America - one from which the American State will never be able to extract itself. America had its chance in 1913 and totally fucked it up. Your country is now owned by the Rothschilds and their fellow international bankers, and from them there exists no escape.
I predict the war will end quickly - we will lo
Thanks for those enamoring words of wisdum, El Capitan De' Obvious.
Are you related to ' Joseph Smith'?
So? When the f/x markets open tomorrow in New Zealand, and you have zero liquidity, will you still feel the same?
You're just an "un learned" refugee.

Here's rubber gloves, so get to work. Over 7 billion peeps use this terlet, with global warming, it'll be wiffy pretty soon.
Dr. Roberts, I rendered 'The Wolfowitz Doctrine', and the agenda of the Council On Foreign Relations moot when I dismantled the financial architecture of Wall Street March 10th 2008 @ 11:00am Bear Stearns time New York shitty. Paul Wolfowitz, and Israel, can eat my shorts. The Council On Foreign Relations can blow me, and the entirety of the Western World can eat shit & die because I don't fucking tolerate this kind of shit, nor would I expect any honest Americans to tolerate it either.
Face reality, Dr. Roberts, you are a smart man. Realize that these neocons know the jig is up, and they are poised to bug out when shtf. No rational human being that has any reasonable knowledge of Economics thinks this shit will last much longer. All pragmatic Economists in the world know that the entire financial edifice is going down for the count. There is no reasonable expectation that markets will 'normalize' or that 'market growth' will return given the last 28 successive business quarters of contraction. If you want to know how the architecture became unglued look at Mandelbrot's comments right after the 08 crash. And realize that the United States of America was taken down via Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Behavioural Economics, and Quantum Physics.
America fucked with the wrong guy, Dr. Roberts.
MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE,
Thanks for pointing that out:

In my view, the crucial insights are with respect to how and why civilization operates as fractal patterns of organized crimes.
"The underlying methodology remains hopelessly flawed" BECAUSE of the history of successful warfare based upon backing up deceits with destruction becoming successful finance based upon enforcing frauds. Political economy necessarily operates INSIDE human ecology. The debt controls are backed by the death controls. All private property is based upon backing up claims with coercions, with the most abstract form of that becoming that "money" is measurement backed by murder.
The INTENSE PARADOXES are that civilization is NECESSARILY controlled by backing up lies with violence, because the death controls are the central controls, upon which everything else depends. It goes deeper than that, because human beings and civilization necessarily operate as entropic pumps of environmental energy flows. However, I REPEAT, the ways that developed were through the history of successful warfare based upon backing up deceits with destruction, morphing to become successful finance based upon enforcing frauds. Social successfulness based upon that has resulted in civilization becoming a Wonderland Matrix Bizarro World.
The INTENSE PARADOXES are that human beings must necessarily live through systems of organized lies, operating robberies, and nothing else actually exists than the dynamic equilibria between different systems of organized lies operating robberies (with governments enforcing frauds by private banks now being the greatest of those symbolic robberies.) There arise sets of consistent contradictions, because governments are necessarily the biggest forms of organized crime, controlled by the best organized gangs of criminals, HOWEVER, their social success is based upon them being the biggest bullies, whose bullshit social stories dominate society, and thereby present everything in the most absurdly backward ways possible. (One of the most abstract of those ways were that arbitrary minus signs were inserted into the entropy equations of thermodynamics and information theory, whereby that progress in mathematical physical science continued to compromise with the biggest bullies' bullshit world views.)
Pretty well the entire sociopolitical system is based upon ENFORCING FRAUDS, and therefore, pretty well everyone is socially successful to the degree to which they are the best available professional liars and immaculate hypocrites. The biggest bullies, as the best organized criminals, surrounded themselves with layers of controlled opposition groups, that agreed to stay within the same frame of reference originally promoted by the biggest bullies, as the bullshit which would enable them to become more socially successful as professional liars and immaculate hypocrites.
The biggest bullies' bullshit is based upon DUALITIES, manifesting as false fundamental dichotomies, and the related impossible ideals, which always backfire badly, and cause the opposite to happen in the real world. There is only one energy, and therefore, we should use UNITARY MECHANISMS, in order to understand how human beings and civilization operate as manifestations of general energy systems. However, when one actually applies the concepts of general energy systems, and its branches, like cybernetics, to human systems, one rediscovers what I have just previously outlined: civilization necessarily manifests as fractal patterns of principles and methods of organized crime, due to the death control systems necessarily being central to the control of everything else.
Inside that context, guys like Paul Craig Roberts are reactionary revolutionaries. While I appreciate that he tends to not pull his punches, and therefore, rightly concludes that "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together," he does NOT come remotely close to going through the series of intellectual scientific revolutions that it would take to develop better death control systems, which demand radical paradigms shifts in how those death control systems are perceived to be operating.
The basic points are that money as measurement backed by murder has become globalized electronic monkey money frauds, backed by the threat of force from apes with atomic bombs. While it should be plainly obvious that political science needs to go through profound paradigm shifts, which integrate and surpass those already achieved in physical science, pretty well nobody who is socially significant is interested in that, since they are all successful to the degree that there were able to be the best available professional liars and immaculate hypocrites, operating within social systems based upon enforcing frauds, which central social facts they have been deliberately ignoring, and have maintained the greatest possible attitudes of willful blindness towards.
Similarly, since the ruling classes developed through a long history of being able to back up lies with violence, that became more sophisticated systems of legalized lies, backed by legalized violence, the vast majority of the people being ruled over also developed their own matching sets of attitudes based upon deliberate ignorance and willful blindness. Indeed, sociopolitical systems whose successes are based upon being able to enforce frauds require that people who survive and adapt to those systems develop attitudes which deliberately ignore the principle of the conservation of energy, as well as also deliberately misunderstand the concept of entropy in the most absurdly backward ways.
As is typical on Zero Hedge, the articles presented by Paul Craig Roberts tend to grossly underestimate how serious the social situation has become, due to the excessive successfulness of the methods of organized crime controlling civilization, which have resulted in that civilization manifesting runaway criminal insanities, which repeat as fractal patterns, on level after level, throughout that civilization.
I REPEAT, the genuinely realistic resolutions to those real problems could ONLY be changes in the dynamic equilibria between different systems of more of less organized lies, operating robberies. To the degree to which the ruling classes and their controlled opposition groups continue be socially successful by being able to deliberately ignore and deny that, then civilization automatically becomes more psychotic, and hence, heads towards committing collective suicide: "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together."
Great post RM.

Thanks, Deathrips, (although it gives me the creeps to be approved of by someone whose handle is "Deathrips.") I would prefer some series of technological miracles, surpassed by series of political miracles, rather than that "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together!"
Cargoism at its best. If we wait long enough technological miracles will arrive and lead to political miracles that will save the day. Personally I prefer "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together!" because it far more accurately describes the situation modern civilisation finds itself in. Technology won't save us. Political miracles are an absurdity of hopeful minds that can not come to terms with reality. The love of money drives the world - that is the only reality. Follow the money and see for yourself the path to hell and those who lead you there. And no one knows money better than those who promote the Zionist World Order.
I must agree with your factual assessment, Victor999.
There are no reasonable hopes for the most probably finite futures that I am able to maintain. However, I indulge in transcendental hope, which enables me to hold on to irrational hopes for the future, because I am not able to live without some hope, no matter how unreasonable.
What I expect to actually happen is that the vast majority of the human species will be miserably mass murdered during the next Century or so, because we are NOT going to get enough technological miracles, surpassed by political miracles, in order to avoid that happening. The basics are everything was based on strip-mining the natural resources of a fresh plant as fast as possible ... There was deliberately nothing done to prevent that from happening, but rather everything possible was done to make more "money" out of nothing as debts, in order to "pay" to strip-mine the planet as fast as possible. Nothing else has actually been prepared to cope with the consequences of having done that, other than the preparations for more genocidal wars, along with democidal martial law.
When I said that "I would prefer some series of technological miracles, surpassed by series of political miracles," I was not asserting that I believe that those will actually happen, merely that I would prefer those to happen. Those appear to be theoretically possible, but also seem to be politically impossible at the present time. It is hard to imagine that the social pyramid systems based upon runaway systems of ENFORCING FRAUDS will not destroy themselves, since the more one learns about THOSE, the worse THEY get!
I like doing political science fiction, that attempts to trend towards the harder kind, rather than the softer political fantasy kind. However, without some dreams regarding enough changes in human consciousness, then there are no other reasonable expectations than that pumping up social pyramid systems based on backing up lies with violence with technologies that are trillions of times more powerful than ever before in human history results in most reasonably expecting that "The Entire World May Go Down The Tubes Together!"
Real money & a system of law that is symmetrically applied would go a long way to sorting the planet out.
Ditto, RM.
One of your better posts RM.
If you cannot dissuade the investment community from their plans by pointing out the economic landscape they will leave behind for their children and grandchildren, what, short of a pistol directly pointed at their forehead would be an adequate argument to their machinations? Parents face the same dilemma trying to dissuade their children from behaviors they know will have negative consequences if left unchecked. In that case, forcible removal or physical force is indicated, because of the child's lack of reason and rationality. Are the "Masters of the Universe" only reachable by the tactics one uses for communicating with non-humans?
There is only one MASTER OF UNIVERSE since March 10th 2008. All the other so-called 'masters of the universe' were outed on that date and I am the only MASTER OF UNIVERSE still standing. Not one soul in this world, or beyond, can hold a candle to me. Furthermore, every Economist, and 1%er, is beneath me, and all will be waterboarded just for FUN.
"nor would I expect any honest Americans to tolerate it either."
Undortuntely that's exactly what 99% of honest Americans are doing.
And all the rich people lose their digital money. Oh the humanity.
