Dr. Paul Craig Roberts Column

No one should expect the US Congress to vote on the basis of the evidence

“Unprovoked military aggression is a war crime under international law. That is completely clear. There are no ifs or buts about it.”
Obama, pushed by his Israeli and neocon masters, especially his National Security  Advisor, Susan Rice, who, in effect, functions as an Israeli agent, crawled far out on the limb, only to have it sawed off by the British Parliament.

The West Knows Only One Rule- “Might is Right!”
Washington and its British and French puppet governments are poised to yet again reveal their criminality. The image of the West as War Criminal is not a propaganda image created by the West’s enemies, but the portrait that the West has painted of itself.

“Will British ever decide that they would be better off as a sovereign country?”
On July 23 I wrote about how the US reversed roles with the USSR and became the tyrant that terrifies the world. We have now had further confirmation of that fact. It comes from two extraordinary actions by Washington’s British puppet state.

“Congress needs to use the impeachment power that the Constitution provides and cease being subservient to the lawless executive branch.”

“Washington kept NATO alive and made it into a mercenary army that serves Washington’s world empire.”
It was five years ago that the president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvilli, who was installed in power by the Washington supported “Rose Revolution,” launched a military invasion of South Ossetia, a break-away province under its own government. The Georgian attack killed Russian peace-keeping troops and numerous Ossetians.

Americans Believe the Lies-Because that is What They Think Patriotism Requires
There’s the old saying that if the government fears the people, there is liberty, but if the people fear the government there is tyranny. The criminals in Washington not only do not fear us, they do not respect us. Washington looks upon Americans as stupid sheeple.

You Have Been Sold Out by “Your” Government
One of my most popular columns was about escaping from the Matrix existence in which Americans live. It is a world of disinformation and misinformation in which facts are fiction, and abstract theories are substituted for empirical reality.
Official government statistics are make-believe. The government makes inflation and unemployment disappear by how it defines inflation and unemployment, and it makes the economy grow by how it defines Gross Domestic Product. The definitional basis determines the statistical result.

“Willingness to corrupt the law has become the highest qualification for appointment to a judgeship or as a US Attorney.”

Nuclear War is on Washington’s Agenda
Amitai Etzioni has raised an important question: “Who authorized preparations for war with China?” Etzioni says that the war plan is not the sort of contingency plan that might be on hand for an improbable event. Etzioni also reports that the Pentagon’s war plan was not ordered by, and has not been reviewed by, US civilian authorities. We are confronted with a neoconized US military out of control endangering Americans and the rest of the world.
