Paul Craig Roberts is one of the most respected columnists in the alternative media. His syndicated articles can be seen on many leading alternative news websites including Lew Rockwell, Infowars, Counterpunch, InformationClearingHouse and countless others. Roberts scores huge points in the credibility department having been the former head of policy at the Department of Treasury under Reagan, and an editor of the Wall Street Journal — among a long list of other accolades.

It has become embarrassing to be an American. Our country has had four war criminal presidents in succession. Clinton twice launched military attacks on Serbia, ordering NATO to bomb the former Yugoslavia twice, both in 1995 and in 1999, so that gives Bill two war crimes. George W. Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and attacked provinces of Pakistan and Yemen from the air. That comes to four war crimes for Bush. Obama used NATO to destroy Libya and sent mercenaries to destroy Syria, thereby commiting two war crimes. Trump attacked Syria with US forces, thereby becoming a war criminal early in his regime.

To the extent that the UN participated in these war crimes along with Washington’s European, Canadian and Australian vassals, all are guilty of war crimes. Perhaps the UN itself should be arraigned before the War Crimes Tribunal along with the EU, US, Australia and Canada.

Quite a record. Western Civilization, if civilization it is, is the greatest committer of war crimes in human history.

And there are other crimes—Somalia, and Obama’s coups against Honduras and Ukraine and Washington’s ongoing attempts to overthrow the governments of Venezuela, Ecuador, and Bolivia. Washington wants to overthrow Ecuador in order to grab and torture Julian Assange, the world’s leading democrat.

These war crimes committed by four US presidents caused millions of civilian deaths and injuries and dispossessed and dislocated millions of peoples, who have now arrived as refugees in Europe, UK, US, Canada, and Australia, bringing their problems with them, some of which become problerms for Europeans, such as gang rapes.

What is the reason for all the death and destruction and the flooding of the West with refugees from the West’s naked violence? We don’t know. We are told lies: Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction,” which the US government knew for an absolute fact did not exist. “Assad’s use of chemical weapons,” an obvious, blatant lie. “Iranian nukes,” another blatant lie. The lies about Gaddafi in Libya are so absurd that it is pointless to repeat them.

What were the lies used to justify bombing tribesmen in Pakistan, to bomb a new government in Yemen? No American knows or cares. Why the US violence against Somalia? Again, no Americans knows or cares.

Or the morons saw a movie.

Violence for its own sake. That is what America has become.

Indeed, violence is what America is. There is nothing else there. Violence is the heart of America.

Consider not only the bombings and destruction of countries, but also the endless gratuitous, outrageous police violence against US citizens. If anyone should be disarmed, it is the US police. The police commit more “gun violence” than anyone else, and unlike drug gangs fighting one another for territory, police violence has no other reason than the love of committing violence against other humans. The American police even shoot down 12-year old American kids prior to asking any question, especially if they are black.

Violence is America. America is violence. The moronic liberals blame it on gun owners, but it is always the government that is the source of violence. That is the reason our Founding Fathers gave us the Second Amendment. It is not gun owners who have destroyed in whole or part eight countries. It is the armed-at-taxpayer-expense US government that commits the violence.

America’s lust for violence is now bringing the Washington morons up against people who can commit violence back: the Russians and Chinese, Iran and North Korea.

Beginning with the Clinton moron every US government has broken or withdrawn from agreements with Russia, agreements that were made in order to reduce tensions and the risk of thermo-nuclear war. Washington initially covered its aggressive steps toward Russia with lies, such as ABM missile sites on Russia’s border are there to protect Europe from (non-existent) Iranian nuclear ICBMs.

The Obama regime still told lies but escalated to false charges against Russia and Russia’s president in order to build tensions between nuclear powers, the antithesis of Ronald Reagan’s policy. Yet moronic liberals love Obama and hate Reagan.

Did you know that Russia is so powerful and the NSA and CIA so weak and helpless that Russia can determine the outcome of US elections? You must know this, because this is all you have heard from the utterly corrupt Democratic Party, the CIA, the FBI, the Amerian whore media, and the morons who listen to CNN, MSNBC, NPR or read the New York Times and Washington Post.

Surely you have heard at least one thousand times that Russia invaded Ukraine; yet Washington’s puppet still sits in Kiev. One doesn’t have to have an IQ above 90 to understand that if Russia invaded Ukraine, Ukraine would not still be there.

Did you know that the president of Russia, which world polls show is the most respected leader in the world, is, according to Hillary Clinton “the new Hitler”?

Did you know that the most respected leader in the world, Vladimir Putin, is a Mafia don, a thug, a tarantula at the center of a spy web, according to members of the US government who are so stupid that they cannot even spell their own names?

Did you know that Putin, who has refrained from responding aggressively to US provocations, not out of fear, but out of respect for human life, is said to be hellbent on reconstructing the Soviet Empire? Yet, when Putin sent a Russian force against the US and Israeli trained and supplied Georgian army that Washington sent to attack South Ossetia, the Russian Army conquered Georgia in five hours; yet withdrew after teaching the morons the lesson.

If Putin wanted to reconstruct the Russian Empire, why didn’t he keep Georgia, a Russian province for 300 years prior to Washington’s breakup of the Russian Empire when the Soviet Union collapsed? Washington was powerless to do anything had Putin declared Georgia to be again part of Russia.

And now we have the embarrassment of Trump’s CIA director, Mike Pompeo, possibly the most stupid person in America. Here we have a moron of the lowest grade. I am not sure there is any IQ there at all. Possibly it reads zero.

This moron, if he qualifies to that level, which I doubt, has accused Julian Assange, the world’s Premier Journalist, the person who more than anyone represents the First Amendment of the US Constitution, of being a demon who sides with dictators and endangers the security of American hegemony with the help of Russia.

All because Wilileaks publishes material from official sources revealing the criminal behavior of the US government. Wikileaks doesn’t steal the documents. The documents are leaked to Wikileaks by whistleblowers who cannot tolerate the immorality and lies of the US government.

Anyone who tells the truth is by definition against the United States of America. And the moron Pompeo intends to get them.

When I first read Pompeo’s accusation against Assange, I thought it had to be a joke. The CIA director wants to revoke the First Amendment. But the moron Pompeo actually said it. https://www.rt.com/usa/384667-cia-assange-wikileaks-critisize/

What are we to do, what is the world to do, when we have utter morons as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, as President of the US, as National Security Adviser, as Secretary of Defense, as Secretary of State, as US Ambassador to the UN, as editors of the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, NPR, MSNBC? How can there be any intelligence when only morons are in charge?

Stupid is as stupid does. The Chinese government has said that the moronic Americans could attack North Korea at any moment. A large US fleet is heading to North Korea. North Korea apparently now has nuclear weapons. One North Korean nuclear weapon can wipe out the entirety of the US fleet. Why is Washington inviting this outcome? The only possible answer is moronic stupidity.

North Korea is not bothering anyone. Why is Washington picking on North Korea? Does Washington want war with China? In which case, is Washinton kissing off the West Coast of the US? Why does the West Coast support policies that imply the demise of the West Coast of the US? Do the morons on the West Coast think that the US can initiate war with China, or North Korea, without any consequesnces to the West Coast? Are even Amerians this utterly stupid?

China or Russia individually can wipe out the US. Together they can make North America uninhabitalbe until the end of time. Why are the Washington morons provoking powerful nuclear powers? Do the Washington morons think Russia and China will submit to threats?

The answer is: Washington is a collection of morons, people stupid below the meaning of stupid. People so far outside of reality that they imagine that their hubris and arrogance elevates them above reality.

When the first Satan 2 hits Washington, the greatest collection of morons in the world will cease to exist.

The world will breathe a huge sigh of relief.

Bring it on! Come on morons, eliminate yourselves! The rest of us cannot wait.

Paul Craig Roberts is always enjoyable to read. And sobering. America as we know it is walking a thin line.

Silver lining? Feminism as a militant movement in the US will die at the same time as the US government.

Do you really think the ‘morons’ are going to wait until that missile hits the s~~~ out of them? Why do you think they’ve spent billions on COG and underground bases?
The only ones who’ll reach thousands of degrees in a second are the little people, the ‘tax-payers’, Joe Blow, John Q Public and company.
This world will not be rid of government morons until a higher power takes back what’s His.
I wonder what their reaction will be when they wake up in hell with billions of lives on their conscience. I sure wouldn’t want to be in their shoes on that day.

But given the time and the distance between those bases and where they are maybe a bridge to far.

Since the government will likely not alert the public to a nuclear attack that is very likely. Though, if there is life after a nuclear war these fools whom do everything to destroy the American people will find the Russians and Chinese marching on their bunkers.

The Russians and Chinese have fallout shelters for much of their populations.

I am one of the sane people intelligent enough not to want to be alive after a nuclear war. The s~~~ that will happen afterward will be hell on earth in ways many at the top do not grasp.

A kingdom can live without a king. But, a king cannot live without a kingdom.

Think about that.

They will have to face two hells. The hell they create on earth and the actually hell they go to.

And for those reading articles of a possible return of a military draft: https://www.superstation95.com/index.php/world/3699

Do not worry. The next war will not be fought by mass numbers of soldiers but technology, with hit and run tactics.

Such as war will be over before a military draft can be fully organized.

And with the destruction of the social contract, demanding the men to be forced to fight and die for c~~~s and globalists that hate them might be the final fracture of this nation that leads to open revolt.

I don’t need to be around any neocons right now. It’d get ugly.

Yumbo quotes Paul Craig Roberts ‘The police commit more “gun violence” than anyone else, ‘

Actually, coppers kill about 1,000 people a year, of a total of ~33,000 gun deaths, so, police killings comprise about 3% of total gun deaths. I would argue the majority of these shootings are justified, let’s say, 80 or 90%, so then, we’re talking about 100 or 200 shootings. Certainly not ideal, but not a major crisis either since then we’re down to under 1% of total shooting deaths.

Some of 33,000 gun deaths are accidental or suicides, the rest homicides. The best way to reduce gun violence? Legalize drugs. Cops who shoot people without cause SHOULD be prosecuted. Police abuse has been an issue for decades, but it’s actually been DECLINING. If you go back a few decades, the police did whatever the hell they pleased with impunity; it was called the thin blue line. I don’t give two f~~~s WHY a cop shot an unarmed man or woman without cause, whether they are racist, sexist, etc, the cops should be subjected to the LAW.

As for the rest of it, I’d argue we’ve had MORE than four war criminal presidents in a row. Let’s not forget George Bush Sr. and Iraq War #1 ‘Making the world safe for Imirs/Kingdoms’. And let’s not forget president Ray Gun and Nicaragua… But what are ‘war crimes’? Does Hiroshima or Nagasaki count? Or the firebombing of Tokyo that killed 100,000+ civilians?

The real question to ask about Iraq and Afghanistan and 9/11 is, what did Osama bin Laden write? What was his objective? He said he did it, to get the US into a mideast quagmire that united all Islamic nations into a modern caliphate. He didn’t achieve his goal completely, but radical Islam, controls more territory, than it did before 9/11, and is on the RISE not the DECLINE — look at ISIS’s success. We should stay out of the affairs of other nations, so as not to make us a target.

Quite a record. Western Civilization, if civilization it is, is the greatest committer of war crimes in human history.

I would argue Mao and Stalin were worse, if you consider their death tolls ‘war crimes’. Hitler was also bad, in the top 3. But the US needs to catch up. You know, American ‘exceptionalism’, in EVERYTHING!

The problem with all these wars is, they actually p~~~ people off, causing them to become radicalized and want to kill Americans. Nobody was flying jetliners into buildings in Australia. I wonder if that has anything to do with them NOT sending vast sums of money to Israel and other mideast countries? Humn….

North Korea is doing what they’ve been doing for years… Trying to get free oil and bucks from the West for promising to abandon their nuclear program. It’s not our problem — no deals, and no military strikes. Let the South Koreans deal with it. The South can build their own missiles for defense, or invade the North if they feel threatened. Not our problem.

There are a lot more people dieing in the gulags of North Korea than in any chemical attacks committed by Asad’s regime. But we should not interfere in either conflict.

War criminals according to who? What governing body? The UN? If that’s the case, I don’t really care. I do care, to an extent about president’s breaking our constitution in waging war without the authority of congress. At the same time though, I think there should be some room for limited aggression without approval, in order to help secure operational success. I am not sure where to draw the line. I am ok with shooting missiles at Syria for using sarin gas. I would not be ok with killing the Syrian president without congressional approval. I would not be ok with shooting missiles at Russia if they used sarin gas…because it would start a war. Same goes for Russian assassinations. Again, not sure where the line gets drawn.

Ok. Then do it.
