Paul Craig Roberts, Will The Matrix Prevail?

Paul Craig Roberts Readers have kept this website going longer than I had hoped.  It is a lot of work for me.  My columns and those of guests generate a lot of appreciation and also a lot of demonization and expressions of hatred toward me.  The slightest criticism of Israel labels one an anti-semite.  People who are aware understand that this word is so over-used that it has become meaningless, but the insouciant conclude that if you are labeled an anti-semite you are some kind of monster who wants to harm Jews.  If you point…

Paul Craig Roberts, Who Remembers the Sandy Hook School Shootings?

Paul Craig Roberts The official explanation given of the Sandy Hook school shootings struck many people at the time as fishy.  Various aspects of the story did not seem to go together well or fit normal procedures for such a crime.  Contradictory evidence was never explained, and doubts based on evidence were ignored rather than answered.   Now a Wisconsin state judge, Frank D. Remington, has renewed doubts about the Sandy Hook event.  This was not Judge Remington’s intention.  It was the result of his summary judgment in a civil defamation lawsuit in favor of…

Paul Craig Roberts, America is No Longer a Nation

Paul Craig Roberts The America in which I grew up and lived my early adult life was a nation. Over the course of my life I have watched my country turn into a Tower of Babel. Homogeneity and shared values permitted us to understand one another. This doesn’t mean that there was uniformity or that things were perfect. A Baptist wasn’t a Catholic. A WASP was not a black laborer. A female was not a male. Blacks and poor whites had a hard time becoming middle class, but it could…

Paul Craig Roberts: Washington Is Changing The World Order against Its Own Interests

Paul Craig Roberts The hubris and arrogance of Washington have been at work since the Clinton regime to destroy the power and relevance of the United States. This website has an international audience. The most asked question from this audience is the world order. There is a realization that Washington’s control might weaken, a development people abroad see as hopeful. They ask me for verification of their hope. Here is my answer: The world order has already changed.  China has a larger and more powerful industrial and manufacturing based economy…

Paul Craig Roberts: There is No Case Against Julian Assange so Lies take the place of Evidence

Paul Craig Roberts Julian Assange is not guilty of any crime. But Washington is going to convict him anyway. Documents are being fabricated to show that Assange met inside the Ecuadoran Embassy in London with Paul Manafort and some Russians. The logs of all visits to the Embassy have been released and show no such meetings. This latest fabrication was dumped on the public by the Guardian, formerly a leftwing newspaper but today a MI6 asset. Luke Harding who was leaked the fake documents is either extremely gullible or himself…

Paul Craig Roberts, On the Triumph of Evil

Paul Craig Roberts The murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey is unprecedented in its audacity. The response from Washington and the Canadian government is to sell more weapons to Saudi Arabia, weapons that are being used by the Saudis in their destruction of the Yemeni population. The Russian response, if the report I saw was not fake news, is to sell the Saudis the S-400 air defense system.  What we can conclude from this is that armament profits take precedence over murder and genocide. Genocide is what is…

Twitter (Absurdly) Bans Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Paul Craig Roberts

[Editor’s note: I have long regarded Paul Craig Roberts as our nation’s leading public intellectual. That Twitter would ban him discredits Twitter and indicates the profound corruption of the Social Media Giants in their despicable censorship of freedom of speech and of freedom of the press. This is disgusting beyond belief. Update: It appears to have been an account that Paul Craig Roberts himself requested be taken down. See below.] Sputnik News Twitter has suspended noted anti-war commentator, economist and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts. The suspension…
