Paul Craig Roberts Slams Western Press-titution
Authored by Paul Craig Roberts,
The Western media has only two tools.
One is the outrageous lie. This overused tool no longer works, except on dumbshit Americans.
The pinpoint accuracy of the Russian cruise missiles and air attacks has the Pentagon shaking in its boots. But according to the Western presstitutes the Russian missiles fell out of the sky over Iran and never made it to their ISIS targets.
According to the presstitute reports, the Russia air attacks have only killed civilians and blew up a hospital.
The presstitutes fool only themselves and dumbshit Americans.
The other tool used by presstitutes is to discuss a problem with no reference to its causes. Yesterday I heard a long discussion on NPR, a corporate and Israeli owned propaganda organ, about the migrant problem in Europe. Yes, migrants, not refugees.
These migrants have appeared out of nowhere. They have decided to seek a better life in Europe, where capitalism, which provides jobs, freedom, democracy, and women’s rights guarantee a fulfilling life. Only the West provides a fulfilling life, because it doesn’t yet bomb itself.
The hordes overrunning Europe just suddenly decided to go there. It has nothing to do with Washington’s 14 years of destruction of seven countries, enabled by the dumbshit Europeans themselves, who provided cover for the war crimes under such monikers as the “coalition of the willing,” a “NATO operation,” “bringing freedom and democracy.”
From the Western presstitute media you would never know that the millions fleeing into Europe are fleeing American and European bombs that have indiscriminately slaughtered and dislocated millions of Muslim peoples.
Not even the tiny remnant of conservative magazines, the ones that the neocon nazis have not taken over or exterminated, can find the courage to connect the refugees with US policy in the Middle East.
For example, Srdja Trifkovic writing in the October issue of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture, sees the refugees as “the third Muslim invasion of Europe.” For Trifkovic, the refugees are invaders who will bring about the collapse of the remnant of Western Christian Civilization.
Trifkovic never mentions that the Europeans brought the millions of Muslim refugees upon themselves, because their corrupt political bosses are Washington’s well-paid vassals and enabled Washington’s wars for hegemony that displaced millions of Muslims. For Trifkovic and every other conservative, only Muslims can do wrong. As Trifkovic understands it, the wrong that the West does is not defending itself against Muslims.
Trifkovic believes that Europe will soon live under Sharia law. He wonders if America will “have the wherewithal to carry the torch.”
A majority of Americans live in a fake world created by propaganda. They are disconnected from reality. I have in front of me a local North Georgia newspaper dated October that reports that “a Patriot Day Memorial Service was held at the Dawson County Fire Headquarters on September 11 to remember the terrorist attacks that shook America 14 years ago.” Various local dignitaries called on the attendees to remember “all of those who have died not only on that day, but since that day in the fight to keep America free.”
The dignitaries did not say how murdering and dislocating millions of Muslims in seven counries keeps us free. No doubt, the question has never occurred to them. America runs on rote platitudes.
The presidents of Russia and China watch with amazement the immoral stupidity that has become America’s defining characteristic. At some point the Russians and Chinese will realize that no matter how patient they are, the West is lost and cannot be redeemed.
When the West collapses from its own evil, peace will return to the world.

I deny PCR's reality and replace it with my own.
Whatever is best for Israel. It's all about Israel.
Well then, let's breed more Israeli women to buck niggers. That will make their nation even stronger.
The Deep State abides...
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. ...We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of human beings must cooperate in this manner if they are to live together as a smoothly functioning society. ...In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons...who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind.”
Edward L. Bernays, Propaganda
FORWARD GOOD SOVIET STORIES!
Deep State=unionized government employees, meaning there are many millions of them. Its a big club and yet you are not in it.
jim willie posits that the refugees flooding europe have interspersed among them al-CIAda plants to perpetrate future terrorist attacks around europe, agents to keep the euro-peons on a short leash
But swinging the pendulum to the opposite side in an even more one-sided manner - as is happening at ZH, makes it less fake?
Going by ZH, we are past the 20th financial collapse, Ebola has wiped us out, zombies are roaming the streets and the last few survivors are ex-ZH posters living in their shotgun guarded bunker.
Sounds like somebodies been drinking in the local Wal-Mart parking lot again. I'm looking at you, schatzi.
PCR better watch his ass n balls, this guy is letting it all hang out, and I think he ran out of fed creds back in '82.
Never been to Wal-wart and don't plan to either. From what I hear it's your typical US cheapo consumerist temple. No thanks. I like supporting local shops and producers. More quality, less quantity is my motto.
what's up with the ad hominem attacks? Finding it difficult to dispute my actual points? Also, how's your Ebola doing? This place was predicting viral apocalypse a year ago. Raving on about exponential curves, which is your typical half-assed, uninformed Tyler contribution on non-financial matters. Entertaining at best.
Funny that you mentioned Enoka considering that at least one of the nurses who had it is back in the hospital dying of Ebola after given the all clear.
one. fucking. nurse.
Now I'm shit scared. Please hold my hand.
Americans believe what they want to believe with no connection to the truth.
Men in America don't even look at the mileage estimate on that new $60k pickup truck.
Actually there seems to be a possible resurgence in aafrica but it seems pretty scarce as far as details go. And yes even though its one nurse. Its one nurse that is dying of edola a year after given the all clear. A first for ebola as far as i know. And there are tens of thousands more. Just like her. Hopefully it didnt passively infect tens of thousands of more people. Time will tell.
You got to ask yourself...how is Paul Craig Roberts still alive?
Because he is a part of the next narrative they want to offer forward.
Yup. And this dude has put together a lot of points to prove what you just wrote:
http://redefininggod.com/category/paul-craig-roberts/
PCR is all about pointing out the devilish ways of the west and the failures of the FED. He is also a proponent of the BRICS nations, not ever once mentioning that 99.9% of the people in those lands are even MORE fucked than those of us in the west.
An IMF/BIS asset, paving the way forward for the NWO in his own inimical way.
PCR should read this: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-25/death-europe This is reality on the ground in Europe and not his stupid conspiracy theories dreamed up from across the Atlantic.
Sweden will take in 180,000 migrants this year. Germany may take in 1.5 million. Most of them will be young men following the Mohammed retirement plan.
Unless they are persuaded to follow the "Vlad the Impaler Retirement Plan"..
Think it can't happen again? I suggest you think again.
Hubris is a fatal flaw.
"Bokken rijder". That's like "Ass rider", right?
Got it.
Yes. Subtract out the West and one is not left with much except coconuts and some kind of voodoo.
Too, PCR writes as though he and he alone understands who's responsible for the refugees.
Failing to critically examine what the "allies" are doing in Syria is the biggest problem that's being ignored. Well, after the Europeans' failure to tell the truth about the immigration betrayal.
Do us all a favor and start your own blog or get a fucking room.
seriously? It must get exhausting running around in circles looking for a new depth of conspiracy EVERYWHERE. Is everyone in on it? are the lizard people involved too? every now and then you gotta loosen up the tin foil. it can get suffocating.
I don't agree with PCR on everything, but he is pretty much on it with this one. EVERYTHING isn't a conspiracy. He calls out corruption when he sees it, that is all. As for why he is still alive, why wouldn't he be? He isn't really hurting anything, only people like us even know he exists, and we don't need him to tell us about rampant govt criminality. We are well aware of it. He is not a threat to the status quo. If "they" went around killing everyone who posted shit like this on a so-called 'fringe blog' there would be a large pile of bodies. Since the government conrols the major media, he won't ever get a wide audience, so he is pretty much harmless. Thats probably why he is still alive, not because "he is part of the next narrative" and in on it.
What is with his cussing now? He never wrote like that before.
*YOU* don't fucking understand just how DEEP and FAR this bullshit runs, and I'm not talking mere decades here, but MILLENIA.
Yeah I see conspiracy here, because there IS. PCR, his job as a member of the 'Hidden Hand' is to point out the obvious to the morons that sit at the back of the cave, trying to make sense of the shadows they see. And for what it is, he is *100% ENTIRELY CORRECT.*
NOTHING he says is not true - it ALL IS. Because he is being PAID to make SURE that we SEE *ALL* the evil that OUR country, and the west in general, is creating. And you have to admit, he is adroit at it. Probably because he gets cues from the controlled media to point shit out.
But what he is NOT doing is applying the same magnifying glass to the BRICS nations, except to applaud their actions exposing the 'EVIL WEST.' He doesn't say squat about the deplorable living conditions in the BRICS nations; he doesn't say shit about Putin killing the independent journalists who tried to expose him as an agent of the NWO; and he doesn't say anything that exposes their connection to the IMF/BIS that is run by the SAME BASTARDS that run the FED.
So yeah, no wonder he still lives - he is part and parcel of the problem. He just *appears* to be an outsider with insight into the problems due to his 'connections'...but *I* say, those connections are WHY he is so privy to the info he is sharing with us; and why he seems so 'RIGHT ON!' is because he is given TRUTH to share, as long as it isn't *THE TRUTH*; and he is CONTROLLED OPPOSITION and has been since before he was even given his original position within the Reagan administration.
If you would even bother to look at the links I provided with an open mind, and even be open to the fact that the narratives we have all been exposed to for the last 700 years are not exactly the truth but the truth as declared by the victors, then maybe you might learn something. Until then, SHUT THE FUCK UP UNTIL YOU ARE REALLY WILLING TO DIG INTO THE *TRUE* HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
There are no links. Where are these links you speak of. Be sure to include the 700 year part. Why is it PCR's job to talk about the BRICS?
While demanding people keep an open mind or shut the fuck up, you don't really do such a good job yourself ... of keeping an open mind that is.
We've had this discussion before. I asked you why the oligarchs plan required them to relinquish Russia in the late 90's when they had Russia by the throat and in every other way possible? You do realize don't you that every self-identified Rothchild agent of prominence in Russia has lost their holdings to the State and are either exiled or dead? How did this reclaiming of Russia, by Russians fit into this secret plan that you are going to provide links to? Thanks.
Implied Violins: Everybody is in on it...nothing can save us...we are all doomed...
May I suggest that it is YOUR narrative that is in line with NWO.
LOL, +1, corsair
Small correction to Dr P.C Roberts:
First of all, yes Europe is being overrun by millions of people, but only a fraction are real refugees and from Syria/Iraq, who by the way were in a safe environment (Turkey, Lebanon) when they decided to pay smugglers thousands of Dollars (where did they get this money?) in order to 'flee' to the much richer EU.The father of the little boy that drowned had been living safely in Turkey for 4 (!) years and was working there as a barber, but only got on a dodgy raft when he was invited over by the EU and Mutti Merkel who wanted to CREATE a refugee crisis.
Secondly, the majority of 'refugees' are from west Africans. Ethiopian, Iranian, Eritrea, Somalia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan etcetera. True, a lot of those countries have been a victim of the neo-colonial Western 'capitalist' foreign and economic policies, but the floodgates were truly opened when Mutti (Mommy) Merkel decided to invite everyone and their brother to the EU. The big majority of these 'refugees' are men aged 20-30. Where are their wives and children that you see on TV every day?
Sorry, but I would guesstimate that 70-80% of those people are NOT refugees. Want proof? Just tear down that fence/wall between Mexico and the US and then have Daddy Obama say something like "sure, no problem, we can manage this refugee crisis of Venezuelans, Colombians, Mexicans etcetera," Then let the DEA and CIA drop some bombs on a few Latin American countries under the pretence of "fighting the war on drugs," and let a few Mexican drug gangs chop the heads of some random people (this has happened by the Zetas. and the related drug wars have cost the lives of thousands and thousands of Mexicans) ) and just wait for the millions to show up at the border, ready to use this as an excuse to emigrate to the US.
I live in Germany and there are 2 'refugee' centres in the 100k inhabitants town where I live. I see this with my own eyes. These are NOT your typical refugee families (men + women + children) that you see in the p.c. mainstream media. Nope, these are mostly men aged 20-30. According to some non-mainstream media, there are HUGE problems (forced prostitution, rape, fights, religious and sexual orientation discrimination between 'asylum-seekers') in those asylum seeking centres, but it's all being covered up by the European p.c. media. Even the German police have rung the alarm bell on a few occasions, only to be completely ignored. For anyone who can read German, I highly recommend these two sites: http://deutsche-wirtschafts-nachrichten.de/ and https://jungefreiheit.de/
p.s. here is a very graphic video of the Zetas beheading some members of the Gulf cartel: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=e86_1361512345 Or remember those people hung from a bridge? https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=zetas+hang+people+from+bridge&biw=144...

"Whatever is best for Israel. It's all about Israel."
I have observed, and no doubt others have also, that every frikkin time the Europeans call on some kind of Palestinian rights, or to boycott Israel and its Apartheid regime, that some hell breaks loose in Europe: either they get some terrorist attack or, in this case, a Tsunami of MENA refugees.
How willfully blind and dumb can the Europeans and their ploticians possible be, before they shout "NO MORE!", and do more than just bitch, moan or protest?
Time to get the goddam guillotines out, and start with their ploticians and bankers! And impose a goddam Total Embargo on Israel, until the Likudnik nutjobs are kicked out by their own people. Either that, or arm all sides in the MENA region, and let them fight it out. Only when a clear winner emerges, should we talk to them about buying oil.
In reality, 'We' (70-85% of the population) ALL know that nothing will happen until the "Big White Ape" (aka USSA) stops backing Israel -- which won't happen until 'Mericans either revolt or Kind Dollar is dethroned. Neither seems eminent, in spite of all the daily ZH prognostications.
Therefore, people/sheeple had better have a Plan B: 1776 style counter-revolution, done in stealth. And fuck you, AIPAC and NSA trolls!
And your reality is ...

Yawn! Im going to look at the prom pictures that have gone horribly wrong.
Did you misspell porn?
No, his porn comes from his daughter's prom.
Excellent job Mr Roberts and a +1 for your multiple use of "dumbshit" !!!
You know that PCR is fed up when he reduces himself to cussing but sometimes there are no other words to describe the dumbfuckery.
Yep, the dumbfuckery boggles the mind indeed...
Is dumbfuckery a medical condition? Can it be cured by anything other than death?
It can be cured by READING in depth essays and articles about World Geography and events. when combined with CRITICAL THINKING.
Dumbfuckery is both treatable and curable.
The very first action which the afflicted must take is to turn off the God damned TeeVee Set.
Unfortunately Dumbfuckery is an addictive disorder. Many will never recover and be afflicted for the rest of their lives..
I recently re-watched the movie "Idiocracy". It's a documentary, not commentary. We're there.
We dumbshit Americans deserve whatever punishment fate chooses to send us.
when you say 'fate' aren't you really saying there's a starman waiting in the sky?
fate doesn't involve any Magic Sky Daddy. It's Cause and Effect, like stepping on a rake.
silly
either there's something or there is nothing.
fate is something no matter what you call it.
Yeah...Fate is the series of events which follow a predicament. Those consequences are generally guaranteed to be dismal at bestt and fatal at worst. However there are exceptions. A fatal outcome, at times, may be desired and optimal.
When you fall out of an aircraft at 30,000 feet and your parachutes fail to deploy then you are facing a predicament.
No matter how much you pray to God you are going to hit the ground. That is your fate. I would not count on a miracle manifestation...although there is a qunatum probability it approaches that of an infinitesimal...And I do not bet on long shots...I like certainties.
You see...You have no real problem. There are no solutions. There is an outcome. That is your fate. And in this exceptional case noted previously you really do not want to live through it...
I wonder if Vesna Vulovic prayed on her way down. :)

peace will return to the world
Humans will always find something to fight about.
No they won't, let's take this out back.
"When the West collapses from its own evil, peace will return to the world."
What a vacuous conclusion, and prediction.
Yep,,, America fer sure runs on rote platitudes.
Ah, you miss the part where when "the west" falls apart, the "east" will not fall into the play you wish...
And I suspect you are not even aware of the stakes.
And I challenge you PCR...
Tell us all...
Get off your high horse for a moment, and tell us... simply,
what is this "West" that you speak of?
Is this this the same Russia that annexed Crimea, and the same China that annexed the Spratleys?
Ah, peace . . . . .
Well at least they didn't liberate them like the USA has Iraq, Afghanistan and the poster child bell ringing successful USA diplomacy... Libya.
Personally I'll take being annexed by Russia rather than liberated by the West!
Only a useful idiot (Lenin's term) or a Slaaaaav slob would actually say or believe that.
What does your variety of useful idiot have to say about the 7 nights of Hanukkah?
I thought Hanukkah was Eight Nights.
You're a lousy shitstain here falcon.
Feck off...you're a member of the missing link in evolution. Some refer to your special cognitive function as Dunning-Kruger Syndrome.
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about. Look around asshole, nobody agrees with you.
Because people agreeing with you means you know what you're fucking talking about? And here I thought that was called a logical fallacy. Oh well, I'll defer to your expertise.
I was testing to see if you were a frum yid. :o\
Go back to Israel.
Don't forget the 80 odd nationalities/ethnicities under the Slaaaaav jackboot, and Tibet, one of several w/ the Chinese.
Yes, arrow down Putzin Prole. The Rus has been perfecting ethnic cleansing and genocide almost as long as the Mohammenden.

Not true at all. Several of the theorists in the beginning were Jewish, but Stalin rubbed them out early on, and the State in all its glory was run and supported by tens of millions of so called "Christians."
Keep typing shit jiz boy, the more you type the more we laugh. How's the Rus dick up your az in Syria,,no more Yinon for you. LoL
Nuke Jizrael.

You must not be laughing so much, look at your NeoSoviet economy and the return of widespread poverty; towit; a Third World nation w/ nuclear weapons, again. Look throughout the Arab Street; proverty bounded together w/ the cement of Islam. Such is the enlightenment of the non Western World. Same fragile system in China, a heart beat from mass murder (Democide) with just a spark to set it ablaze.
Chechnya, Georgia ,Ukraine.
All fail, now you pay.

yes moar Russian imperialism is the ticket to freedom and self determination. We'll start identifying all the ethnicities and nationalities that the Rus has invaded, terrorized, and committed genocide against. The topic is quite broad and spans hundreds of years. Probably no single national identity has committed more subjugation of other than the Rus. Well maybe the Mongols, but they aren't Caucasoids.

I suspected that reading your first comment.
Those Anglo-Saxons have been on quite a tear, for the last 1400 years or so.
BTW, sticking the Rus dick into any orifice is no more impotent than sticking it into the women fleeing the FSR. Slaaaav men are in a death spiral and Putzin is your way out, eh?
"Several of the theorists"? How about 99% of the Bolsheviks and 100% of the Jewish New York bankers who financed it. 95% of Stalin's secret police were Jewish. The criminals who ran the gulags were about 100% Jewish. The world's bigest mass murderer, the head of Stalin's secret police, was Jewish. It wasn't until they got so greedy that they were plotting to overthrow Stalin that he purged them. Seems like most of them went to New York and raised a generation of Red Diaper babies.
Your apologies for the Jewish criminals who founded Bolshevism and their exploits in Russia show you to be a puppet of Zionism.
Fuck off!
Putzin lamented the fall of the USSR/CCCP as the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th Century. Maybe he's a quadroon Jew or more likely, a Cyrpto Jew?
Maybe you're married to a Jewish Princess whose wears your testicles as earrings.
So now the former KGB murdering, torturing terrorist wants to blame da Joooos for his beloved USSR? Weak for a weak poser. Idi Amin of Uganda was a colonel, Franco was a Generalissimo, and Putzin was a KGB Major. Not even military.

Certainly longer than us and the scrubbing we gave the Native Americans.

and we're that same America that 'annexed' Hawaii and stole California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas.
What's yer point?
funny how animals dont have property laws. they just move the next best habitat...and continue living. now humans own the fucking land they stand on FOREVER...! hawaiians can only own hawaii for ever for the next 5 billion years. til the sun goes super nova.
dumbfucks ...all this bullshit of ownership. if people in california couldnt defend their space then a better more advanced group will take over if they need the space. that is the way the fucking earth works. this pc shit is why we have unresovable issues today.
As I live and breathe, it's Hannah Arendt.
Too bad the real Arendt isn' around to see the millions of Arabs, displaced and terrorized by First World WarFare, flooding into the penultimate and ultimate manifestations of civilization. Can you imagine in a year or two what damage it will wreak on those who perpetrated?
bid - if the europeans cant or wont defend their 'identity' then they will be taken over and fade away. the PC world has devolved men to such utter pussies that they have no will to survive longer than their own lifespans. fuck the future. who cares right. let the hoardes come hither.....
bid - while i consider most of what Arendt wrote as factual, the justification for my comment are proven not by arendt but a quote from startship troopers:
“Liberty is never unalienable; it must be redeemed regularly with the blood of patriots or it always vanishes. Of all the so-called natural human rights that have ever been invented, liberty is least likely to be cheap and is never free of cost.”

Tru dat.
Not Texas, don't make such board sweeping conclusions. Texas won its independence from the post colonial nation set up by Spain.
Hawaii, I agree, along w/ PR, Guam, and for 46 years the PI.
Don't you recall the Gadsden Purchase? The US bought some of that territory from the post colonial Spanish nation created.
What deeply imbued historical, cultural, and economic claim did a Mexico have to those areas that were simply claimed for the King of Spain before Mexico was even a twinkle is its creator's eyes back in Spain?
okay
More Russians than Ukrainians in Crimea. More shitkickers than Mexis in Texas.
Substitute Vladimir Putin for John Tyler and Crimea for Texas and what do you have?
(o:
Annexed? Is that similar to buying the Louisiana and Gadsen and Alaska purchases, which came with slaves or indentured or rebellious people. Why did we pay some bumfuck inbred royalty in Europe or Mexico or Russia for any of it? Why would the enslaved ones be rounded up and sent on all sorts of Trails of Tears?
Is it similar to cities annexing areas including people's property and impose a bunch of new taxes? Annexation via Eminent Domain? All done against the wills of the ones being annexed.
It makes no sense to even concern ourselves with a benign sounding but dastardly evil ANNEXATIONS. They are all around us, fuck William the Conqueror and his tax assessors.
So, why get torqued about Crimea whose people WANTED it? Sheer propaganda is being pumped out to us (gullibles).

"October issue of Chronicles: A Magazine of American Culture"
America has a culture?
Who could have guessed?
Chronicles Magazine is an excellent read. I look forward to it every month. They're independent (and highly critical) of mainstream media. Furthermore, these guys are fearless. They're the ones who first broke the story of MLK's plagiarism of his doctoral thesis! Every ZHer should at least check out their website: www.chroniclesmagazine.org
Chronicles used to carry PCR on their website. They stopped a few years back. And now I see why.
PCR has grossly misrepresented Srdja Trifkovic, who was among those strongly opposing the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the other middle eastern adventures in countries in which we've had no business meddling over the intervening years. Trifkovic is also right to recognize the current refugee flood as the 3rd Muslim invasion of Europe. The reason these people are coming at this moment in history may conveniently be cast as US warmongering; but it should not be lost on Westerners that the goal of all true Muslims is to subjugate the world under Islam. They've been doing it for about 14 centuries.
It's an outstanding magazine!
I have been a PCR subscriber for a few years and he has really come out swinging recently. He is beginning to attack the zio's by publishing an article by Steven Lendman. Interesting and fitting last name for a Jew huh?. And PCR's website misspells/typos it Lensman.

In Russia they get propaganda.
Here we get the *news*.
indeed, the word is understood in it's full and original sense, in the eastern european countries including Russia
"A majority of Americans live in a fake world created by propaganda. They are disconnected from reality. "
after a couple of years here on ZH I can subscribe to this statement. that does not mean that other peoples aren't disconnected from reality, or aren't getting their daily dosis of propaganda
but yes, Americans seem to me to get the heaviest dose on the planet, even higher then in China, in Russia and everywhere else in the Old World
This is what happens when God is taken out of the American's daily life, and the people forget to trust their instincts, instead of their communist propaganda media outlets and enslaving elite. Once the communist elite & media brainwash another generation, against God, the U.S. Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, and import 10s of millions of more illegal new voters, then they can elect another complete communist POTUS 2.0 and stack the U.S. Supreme Court with a full house of communist supremes hating the U.S. Constituion, Bill of Rights, forcefully revoke the 1st, & 2nd amendments, and then fully enslave the entire U.S. population.
The Cold War: Co-existence, Detente, and Convergence | The Freeman - Clarence B. Carson
Excerpt:
There is a critical and essential difference between Christianity and modern socialism. At bottom, Christianity is not a power theory. As was earlier affirmed, socialism—whether revolutionary or evolutionary—is a power theory. But let us consider the case of Christianity first. It has already been pointed out that when Jesus went into the wilderness and was tempted he rejected the vision of an earthly kingdom or empire. That is, he rejected the use of force to attain his ends. He did so again, in another way, just before his trial and crucifixion. When Judas betrayed Jesus and the crowd laid hands on him, this event occurred:
It should be made clear, however, that these remarks were made in connection with the attainment of his ends. Jesus goes on to say that he could have legions of angels to defend him, if he would but ask. "But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be." (Matthew 26:54)
No Use of Force
Christianity is not a power theory. Jesus rejected the use of force to achieve his purposes. The methods he employed were concern, love, healing, sacrifice, attraction, and persuasion. Those who would follow him, he bade to take up, not their swords, but the cross (i. e., the way of sacrifice). What Jesus seeks cannot be attained by force. Men cannot be made to believe.

None of this is said to deny the obvious, namely, that many of those who have professed to be his followers have taken up the sword with the avowed purpose of defending or advancing Christianity....
But they have not done so with the authority of Jesus; they have done so because they were impatient, because they were weak, because they were willful, because they substituted their wills for the will of Him they claimed to follow. ...

Socialism a Power Theory
Socialism is a power theory. In essence, it is nothing but a power theory. Its affinity for the state is as near absolute as anything can be in this world. The further it goes toward its goal the more absolute its reliance on the state. None of this is accidental. It follows inexorably from the professed goal and from the complex of hatreds which animate it. The moment socialists abandon the state as the instrument for the achievement of their purposes they cease to be socialists, and socialism is no more. …

I agree with your recount of Biblical stories; however, it is impossible to critically observe and consider modern preachers and houses of worship of anything resembling Jesus nor Biblical times. They will cast your ass outta the house so quick it will make your head spin if you ask the wrong questions - like can i see the books to see just WHO funded this behemoth? Why the Banksters do cause they've learned:
Give the preacher one of the finest homes (mine had one in the ParkCities of Dallas, TX the MOST affluent area of the twin cities by far) and claimed it was "lent to him". Said the House of Worship (of Dollars and Banksters as the case turned out to be for he and the WaterMark Church) was built without debt but refused to say by whom with strict proof thereof.
'Ya.......keep on thinking they are doing Jesus' work.......like hell. They are out for themselves and God has but the sales pitch to do wiht it.
Why Joe McCarthy, you're still alive.
B’Man’s Revolt explains why McCarthy had to be destroyed. Here is an excerpt from DC Dave’s article:
“What McCarthy was up against, and some appreciation of the degree of Communist and pro-Communist infiltration and, indeed, takeover of key levers of power by the end of the 1940s can be had by examining the 1952 report of the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which, McCarthy was never a member. These conclusions are completely supported by the testimony of the independent-minded private citizen, Alfred Kohlberg, who lays heavy blame upon the Institute for Pacific Relations (IPR) for the fall of China to the Communists in 1949. One of the key members of the IPR mentioned in the report was Owen Lattimore, who was also one of McCarthy’s main targets. The primary avenue of Lattimore’s influence upon government policy on China was through his close associate, Lauchlin Currie, who had been revealed to the White House as a Soviet agent by Communist defector Whittaker Chambers in 1939 at a time that the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany were allies.

McCarthy was snuffed because
At long last he had no sense of decency.
Can I advise you against making him your role model.
It was Welch who had no decency. He tagged his associate as a member of the National Lawyers Guild (communist front) over 30 days before in a NYT article. He then showed up and said McCarthy had no shame for saying the same thing.
It was a sleezy ambush.
Try to keep up.
Joseph McCarthy was absolutely right and righteous.
he was so righteous the US army bumped him off.
See, the army isn't all bad.
He was indeed.
Nobody brainwashed the Israelites into demanding and establishing a kingship over the objections of their God. Nobody had to. As long as they have enough to eat, sinful people always prefer human to divine government. It's much easier to persuade or bribe human law-enforcers to look the other way. Even in ancient Judah kings that did what was just in the eyes of the Lord (like Josiah) were the exception.
JD 59: Truth is that God is bombarded on us constantly and has nothing to do with your subject matter, of which I agree. There is no God Calvary to save us, we have to save ourselves.

“More of my countrymen suffered horrific crimes at their bloodstained hands than any people or nation ever suffered in the entirety of human history. It cannot be understated. Bolshevism was the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant of this reality is proof that the global media itself is in the hands of the perpetrators.”

A majority of Americans live in a fake world created by propaganda. They are disconnected from reality.
And the Russian 'media' is somehow more (MOAR) fact based and unfettered by Party controlled government? Or the Cuban or Chinese or Venezuelan? Really? How much per click do you garner there ole boy? Social Security ain't covering yer expenses, or are you actually GeoWash?
poor little falconflight. Everything -- EVERY THING -- that anyone says about the jalopy that is now America, little baby ff has to compare to Russia.
There is a word for people who do that, but I can't remember it now.

I'm not defending the Regime at all, and I'm dissappointed that you're unable to discern what is obvious to a higher order of cognitive processing.
The West isn't irredeemable, exactly, any more than Russia was.
It took a generation for Russia to pull herself together after the plug was pulled on the communist experiment, but she came back.
If a peaceful way could be found to remove the banksters from power in the West, America and Western Europe would be in for a world of hurt for ten to fifteen years, but they would come back too, freer and more prosperous than ever once the burdens of debt slavery and the welfare state were removed once and for all.
The real difference is that Mikhail Gorbachev understood that the Soviet Union had run out of other people's money. You'll wait a long time before the banksters run out of other people's money. While they control the printing presses, that's quite unpossible.
Short of some catastrophe that makes continued financing of standing armies impossible (nuclear war might do the trick), breaking the monopoly on violence held by nation-states financed with bank credit and returning the responsibility of enforcement of law and of common defence to ordinary human beings, our masters won't yield power any time soon.
It's hard to imagine any such catastrophe that wouldn't send most of mankind to their doom along with their masters.
If the US ever had "free press," meaning reporting both sides of an issue, how can one account for the colonization of the PI, Guam, Hawaii, and PR, or Woodrow Wilson's reelection campaign promising never to intervene in WWI, or a hundred thousand Japanese-Americans in concentration camps, or the many US invasions of Central American nations during the 20th Century, or the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, to name just a few situations.
i love that presstitutes gloss for those babblemonkies claiming to report news
When the West collapses from its own evil, peace will return to the world.
So true. I'm tired of waiting. I cannot listen to mainstream media anymore and haven't in quite a long time. I can't take the outright lies and the information they withold. I am so disgusted when I read something about Hillary, Bernie or Trump, although I do like that Trump has the republican establishment worried. But really, even if he was elected, he would fall into line after he gets "the talk" from the cabal. It takes an open mind, critical thinking, logic and time to wake up and unfortunately, most people cannot obtain at least one of these requirements. So they go to "the news" where they think they are getting facts. I've spent countless hours over the years investigating all of this bullshit on my own and completely agree with PCR's assessment of the press. To think so few people have complete mind control over so many is really disheartening. And the mind-controlled love it. They can't figure out why their lives suck, but they love the bread and circuses and this is enough to keep them from looking into the problem and just accepting the propaganda. And this isn't just America. Britain and most of Europe in my opinion is just as bad. They love their big governments and turn a blind eye to all of the death and destruction they cause around the world. But clearly, the deep state in America is the ring leader. This is the head of the beast that needs to be cut off. They rest will follow.
'From the Western presstitute media you would never know that the millions fleeing into Europe are fleeing American and European bombs that have indiscriminately slaughtered and dislocated millions of Muslim peoples.'
this is only half right. even if the us wasnt bombing these monkeys their worlds would be poverty and shit and dictators or chieftains killing everyone. the author acts like these places were gardens of eden before the west showed up...
I wonder why millions didnt flee the full scale war that the Russians unleashed upon the Chetynans?

During the 1990s massive formations of Russian tanks, artillery, and aircraft pounded Chechen cities and towns to charred ruins. Since then, Chechnya has endured years of guerrilla war and government security sweeps in which thousands of people have been killed or disappeared. The conflict has spilled into neighboring republics in southern Russia, destabilizing an already precarious region. Guerrillas have indiscriminately struck deep into the heart of Russia, killing hundreds of civilians, including children. Human rights and the laws of war appear meaningless to both sides.
The first phase of the war in Chechnya began in 1994. Both sides routinely committed atrocities during this conflict, though the far larger Russian military was guilty of more frequent excesses. Russian troops indiscriminately attacked towns and villages, killing and raping civilians, pillaging and burning homes. Chechen fighters executed prisoners and civilian opponents, attacked civilian targets in Russia and used civilians to shield their forces, and drove thousands of Russian civilians out of Chechnya in a systematic campaign.
There is no neat, simple answer as to why this war was so savage. It was a war inflamed by intense nationalism and ethnic hatred; a calamitously managed war that swiftly degenerated into a brutal campaign of suppression that only increased Chechen resistance; a war in which an ill-trained, disintegrating army, in truth little more than a mob, was pitted against a smaller, but highly motivated and skilled guerrilla force; a war in which a democratically elected government employed the ruthless methods and forces of Soviet totalitarianism against a civilian population. It was also a war between peoples and cultures that have waged merciless wars of conquest and extermination against each other for centuries with unrelenting medieval savagery.Kill or be killed was the sole motivation of most soldiers in the disintegrating Russian Army, who were desperately fighting to stay alive rather than win a war. Win or die was the creed of Chechens inspired by fanatical patriotism and their Islamic belief in jihad, or holy war, against the traditional enemy. Many Russians saw Chechens as swarthy, treacherous savages and habitual criminals. The Chechens saw the Russians as ruthless conquerors and despoilers of their motherland.
Russia is a disparate patchwork of conquered ethnic and national groups, and every Russian government, whatever its ideology, has believed that the existence of Russia depends on preserving this empire at any cost. Many Russian leaders and ordinary people were deeply aware that the dissolution of the Soviet Union had stripped away huge tracts of territory and much of their national pride, and feared that Russia was on the brink of disintegration. Putin’s government viewed the idea of Chechen independence as a prelude to the unraveling of Russia and refused to consider any strategy but military victory.
A Little Perspective
The first phase of the Chechen wars began in the sixteenth century. Today Chechnya is a salafist takfiri Sunni Muslim country of 1,200,000 with a dwindling population of ~25,000 Christians.
President Ramzan Kadyrov openly defends honor killings:
“I have the right to criticize my wife. She doesn’t. With us [Chechen society], a wife is a housewife. A woman should know her place. A woman should give her love to us [men]… She would be [man’s] property. And the man is the owner. Here, if a woman does not behave properly, her husband, father, and brother are responsible. According to our tradition, if a woman fools around, her family members kill her… That’s how it happens, a brother kills his sister or a husband kills his wife… As a president, I cannot allow for them to kill. So, let women not wear shorts."

What possible russian rationale could justify some of the most brutal mass murder and wholesale destruction since WWII visited upon civivians with an entirely different history, languange, culture, and religion?
The First Chechen War, also known as the War in Chechnya, was a conflict between the Russian Federation and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, fought from December 1994 to August 1996. After the initial campaign of 1994–1995, culminating in the devastating Battle of Grozny, Russian federal forces attempted to seize control of the mountainous area of Chechnya but were set back by Chechen guerrilla warfare and raids on the flatlands in spite of Russia's overwhelming manpower, weaponry, and air support. The resulting widespread demoralization of federal forces, and the almost universal opposition of the Russian public to the conflict, led Boris Yeltsin's government to declare a ceasefire in 1996 and sign a peace treaty a year later. The official figure for Russian military death toll is 5,500, while most estimates put the number between 3,500 and 7,500, or even as high as 14,000.[6] Although there are no accurate figures for the number of Chechen militants killed, various estimates put the number at about 3,000 to over 15,000 deaths. Various figures estimate the number of civilian deaths at between 30,000 and 100,000 killed and possibly over 200,000 injured, while more than 500,000 people were displaced by the conflict, which left cities and villages across the republic in ruins.[7]
How many times over how many decades into centuries, must this very distinct nation of customs, history, religion, and language suffer from Russian tyranny? To be attacked by the Russian military and suffer death and destruction until those people submit? Yes, the Third Reich invaded Poland in 1939, but Russia has attacked weaker nations for hundreds of years and demanded absolute submission or death. All the while the Russians/Soviets moved Russians into these lands to ethnically cleanse the indigenous populations that had been there for hundreds of years.
On December 11, 1994, Russian forces launched a three-pronged ground attack towards Grozny. The main attack was temporarily halted by deputy commander of the Russian Ground Forces, Gen. Eduard Vorobyov, who then resigned in protest, stating that it is "a crime" to "send the army against its own people."[18] Many in the Russian military and government opposed the war as well. Yeltsin's adviser on nationality affairs, Emil Pain, and Russia's Deputy Minister of Defense Gen. Boris Gromov (esteemed commander of the Soviet-Afghan War), also resigned in protest of the invasion ("It will be a bloodbath, another Afghanistan," Gromov said on television), as did Gen. Borys Poliakov. More than 800 professional soldiers and officers refused to take part in the operation; of these, 83 were convicted by military courts and the rest were discharged. Later Gen. Lev Rokhlin also refused to be decorated as a Hero of Russia for his part in the war.
The Chechen Air Force (as well as the republic's civilian aircraft fleet) was completely destroyed in the air strikes of the very first few hours of the war, while around 500 people took advantage of the mid-December amnestydeclared by Yeltsin for members of Dzhokhar Dudayev's armed groups. Nevertheless, Boris Yeltsin's cabinet's expectations of a quick surgical strike, quickly followed by Chechen capitulation and regime change, were misguided. Russia found itself in a quagmire practically instantly. The morale of the Russian troops, poorly prepared and not understanding why and even where they were sent, was low from the beginning. Some Russian units resisted the order to advance, and in some cases, the troops sabotaged their own equipment. In Ingushetia, civilian protesters stopped the western column and set 30 military vehicles on fire, while about 70 conscripts deserted their units. Advance of the northern column was halted by the unexpected Chechen resistance at Dolinskoye and the Russian forces suffered the first serious losses.[18] Deeper in Chechnya, a group of 50 Russian paratroopers surrendered to the local militia, after being deployed by helicopters behind enemy lines and then abandoned.
Yeltsin ordered the Russian Army to show restraint, but it was neither prepared nor trained for this. Civilian losses quickly mounted, alienating the Chechen population and raising hostility to the Russian forces, even among those who initially supported the attempts to unseat Dudayev. Other problems occurred as Yeltsin sent in freshly trained conscripts from neighboring regions rather than regular soldiers. Highly mobile units of Chechen fighters caused severe losses to Russia's ill-prepared, demoralized troops. The Russian military command then resorted to carpet bombing tactics and indiscriminate barrages of rocket artillery, causing enormous casualties among the Chechen and Russian civilian population.[19] On December 29, in a rare instance of a Russian outright victory, the Russian airborne forces seized the military airfield next to Grozny and repelled a Chechen armored counterattack in the battle of Khankala; the next objective was the city itself. With the Russians closing in on the capital, Chechens began to hastily set up defensive fighting positions and group their forces in the city.
A Chechen fighter near the burned-out ruins of the Presidential Palace in Grozny, January 1995
When the Russians besieged the Chechen capital, thousands of civilians died from a week-long series of air raids and artillery bombardment in the heaviest bombing campaign in Europe since the destruction of Dresden.[20]The initial assault on the New Year's Eve of 1995 ended in a major Russian defeat, resulting in heavy casualties and at first nearly a complete breakdown of morale in the Russian forces. The disaster claimed lives of an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 Russian soldiers, mostly barely-trained and disoriented conscripts; the worst losses were suffered by the 131st 'Maikop' Motor Rifle Brigade, completely destroyed in the fighting near the central railway station.[18] Despite the early Chechen defeat of the New Year assault and many further casualties, Grozny was eventually conquered by Russian forces amidst bitter urban warfare. After armored assaults failed, the Russian military set out to pulverize the sealed-off city into submission using air power and artillery, at the same time accusing their enemies of using civilians as human shields by preventing them from leaving the capital as it came under continued bombardment.[21] On January 7, 1995, Russia's Major-General Viktor Vorobyov was killed by mortar fire, becoming the first on a long list of generals to be killed in Chechnya. On January 19, despite heavy casualties, Russian forces seized the ruins of the Chechen presidential palace, which had been heavily contested for more than three weeks as Chechens finally abandoned their positions in the destroyed downtown area. The battle for the southern part of the city continued until the official end on March 6, 1995.
By the Yeltsin's human rights adviser Sergey Kovalev's estimates, about 27,000 civilians died in the first five weeks of fighting. Russian historian and general Dmitri Volkogonov said the Russian military's bombardment of Grozny killed around 35,000 civilians, including 5,000 children, and that the vast majority of those killed were ethnic Russians. While military casualties are not known, the Russian side admitted to having lost nearly 2,000 soldiers killed or missing.[22] The bloodbath of Grozny shocked Russia and the outside world, causing severe criticism of the war. International monitors from the OSCE described the scenes as nothing short of an "unimaginable catastrophe," while former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev called the war a "disgraceful, bloody adventure" and German Chancellor Helmut Kohl called it "sheer madness."[23]

Russian armoured vehicles drive through the mountain areas of Chechnya, 1995
Following the fall of Grozny, the Russians slowly but systematically expanded their control over the lowland areas and then into the mountains. In what was dubbed the worst massacre in the war, the OMON and other federal forces killed at least 103 civilians while seizing the border village of Samashki on April 7 (several hundred more were detained and beaten or otherwise tortured).[24] In the southern mountains, the Russians launched an offensive along the entire front on April 15, advancing in large columns of 200-300 vehicles.[25] The ChRI forces defended the city of Argun, moving their military headquarters first to completely surrounded Shali, then shortly after to Serzhen-Yurt as they were forced into the mountains, and finally to Shamil Basayev's ancestral stronghold of Vedeno. Chechnya's second-largest city of Gudermes was surrendered without a fight, but the village of Shatoy was for defended by the men of Ruslan Gelayev. Eventually, the Chechen command withdrew from the area of Vedeno to the Chechen opposition-aligned village of Dargo, and from there to Benoy.[26] According to an estimate cited in a United States Army analysis report, between January and June 1995, when the Russian forces conquered most of the republic in the conventional campaign, their losses in Chechnya were approximately 2,800 killed, 10,000 wounded and more than 500 missing or captured.[27] However, some Chechen fighters infiltrated already pacified places hiding in crowds of returning refugees.[28]
A boy stands near a house in Chechnya
As the war continued, separatists resorted to large hostage takings, attempting to influence the Russian public and leadership. In June 1995, a group led by the maverick field commander Shamil Basayev took more than 1,500 people hostage in southern Russia in the Budyonnovsk hospital hostage crisis; about 120 Russian civilians died before a ceasefire was signed after negotiations between Basayev and the Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin. The raid enforced a temporary stop in Russian military operations, allowing the Chechens the time to regroup during their greatest crisis and prepare for the national militant campaign. The full-scale Russian attack led many of Dudayev's opponents to side with his forces and thousands of volunteers to swell the ranks of mobile militant units. Many others formed local self-defence militia units to defend their settlements in the case of the federal offensive action, officially numbering 5,000–6,000 armed men in late 1995. Altogether, the ChRI forces fielded some 10,000–12,000 full-time and reserve fighters at a time, according to the Chechen command. According to the UN report, the Chechen separatist forces included a large number of child soldiers, some as young as 11 and including females.[29] As the territory controlled by them shrunk the separatists increasingly resorted to the classic guerrilla warfaretactics, such as setting booby traps and mining roads in the enemy-held territory. The successful use of improvised explosive devices was particularly noteworthy; they also effectively exploited a combination of mines and ambushes.
In the fall of 1995, Gen. Anatoliy Romanov, the federal commander in Chechnya at the time, was critically injured and paralyzed in a bomb blast in Grozny. Suspicion of responsibility for the attack fell on rogue elements of the Russian military, as the attack destroyed hopes for a permanent ceasefire based on the developing trust between Gen. Romanov and the ChRI Chief of Staff Aslan Maskhadov, a former colonel in the Soviet Army;[30] in August, the two went to southern Chechnya in an effort to convince the local commanders to release Russian prisoners.[31] In February 1996, the federal and pro-Russian Chechen forces in Grozny opened fire on the massive pro-independence peace march involving tens of thousands of people, killing a number of demonstrators;[32] the ruins of the presidential palace, the symbol of the Chechen independence, were then demolished two days later.
Human rights organizations accused the federal forces of engaging in indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force whenever encountering resistance, resulting in numerous civilian deaths (for example, according to Human Rights Watch, Russian artillery and rocket attacks killed at least 267 civilians during the December 1995 separatist raid on Gudermes[24]). The dominant Russian strategy was to use heavy artillery and air strikes throughout the campaign, leading some Western and Chechen sources to call the air strikes deliberate terror bombing on the part of Russia.[33] Ironically, due to the fact that ethnic Chechens in Grozny were able to seek refuge among their respective teips in the surrounding villages of the countryside, a high proportion of initial civilian casualties were inflicted against ethnic Russians who were unable to procure viable escape routes. The villages, however, were also heavily targeted from the first weeks of the conflict (the Russiancluster bombs, for example, killed at least 55 civilians during the January 3, 1995 Shali cluster bomb attack). The Russian soldiers often prevented civilians from evacuating from areas of imminent danger and prevented humanitarian organizations from assisting civilians in need. It was widely alleged that Russian troops, especially those belonging to the MVD, committed numerous and in part systematic acts of torture and summary executions on separatist sympathizers; they were often linked to zachistka ("cleansing" raids, affecting entire town districts and villages suspected of harboring boyeviki - the separatist fighters). Humanitarian and aid groups chronicled persistent patterns of Russian soldiers killing, raping and lootingcivilians at random, often in disregard of their nationality. Separatist fighters, took hostages on massive scale, kidnapped or killed Chechens considered to be collaborators and mistreated civilian captives and federal prisoners of war (especially pilots). Both separatist and federal sides of the conflict kidnapped hostages for ransom and used human shields for cover during the fighting and movement of troops (for example, a group of surrounded Russian troops took approximately 500 civilian hostages at Grozny's 9th Municipal Hospital[34]).
The violations by the members of the Russian forces were usually tolerated by their superiors and not punished even when investigated (story of Vladimir Glebov serving as an example of such policy). However, television and newspaper accounts widely reported largely uncensored images of the carnage to the Russian public. As a result, the Russian media coverage partially precipitated a loss of public confidence in the government and a steep decline in president Yeltsin's popularity. Chechnya was one of the heaviest burdens on Yeltsin's 1996 presidential election campaign. In addition, the protracted war in Chechnya, especially many reports of extreme violence against civilians, ignited fear and contempt of Russia among other ethnic groups in the federation.

You are spamming the thread while overlooking the fact that President Yeltsin was one of yours.
Can't disagree with your general assertion that Americans are currently living in a fantsy lie. And can't disagree that "official" discussions (media and politicially corrrect company) never seems to mention the cause of ay problem, unless it's to blame some whipping boy such as the Tea Party or generic "racism" or "social inequality". But you commit the same offense when you stop at Western military action in the middle-east. As though 60 years of muslim terror attacks never happened. And I'm aware that some conspiracy-minded people think the wars have been about oil or that 9/11 was a hoax. But Americans have certainly not benefitted froma glut of inexpensive Iraqi oil. And ISIS is re-creating the same Islamic utopia in the Levant that the Taliban did in Afgh.
And, just a side note, for being an Israeli-run property, NPR sure spends a lot of energy defending palestinian terrorists.
Of course Europe brought it on herself.
That doesn't change the fact that it is the third Muslim invasion, and that we nobodys in Germany are going to have to pay the price of the stupidity of Frau Merkel.
