Hitler on the psychology of the Big Lie
2009-09-16 18:06:00 Paul Craig Roberts writes on why people believe the Big Lie of propaganda even after the truth is known, and adds Adolf Hitler's advice on the psychology of it and why it works.Speaking of propaganda, I'm waiting patiently for the wide release of Michael Moore's new film, Capitalism: A Love Story, set for October 3rd. I expect much of the current economic propaganda to be outed!Did you miss Moore singing on The Jay Leno Show last night? His performance must be on YouTube by now, but I'll have to search for it later. Right now, gotta motor...
A third American war crime in the making

If only America had an independent media and an opposition party. If there were a shred of integrity ...

Paul Craig Roberts on the Surge
2008-02-19 17:56:00 Paul Craig Roberts explains that the "surge" and it's alleged success is just a continuation of the lies and deceptions of the Bush administration and it's neocon allies. It is impossible to keep up with all the Bush regime?s lies. There are simply too many. Among the recent crop, one of the biggest is that the "surge" is working.Launched last year, the "surge" was the extra 20,000?30,000 US troops sent to Iraq. These few extra troops, Americans were told, would finally supply the necessary forces to pacify Iraq.This claim never made any sense. The extra troops didn?t raise the total number of US soldiers to more than one-third the number every expert has said is necessary in order to successfully occupy Iraq.The real purpose of the "surge" was to hide another deception. The Bush regime is paying Sunni insurgents $800,000 a day not to attack US forces. That?s right, 80,000 members of an "Awakening group," the "Sons of Iraq," a newly formed "US-allied security force" consisting of ...

Paul Craig Roberts: The Iraqi Genocide
2007-10-17 18:31:00 Another good article by Paul Craig Roberts Excerpt (read the rest here) The US government has broken every agreement with Russia by withdrawing from the anti-ballistic missile treaty, pushing NATO to Russia?s borders, conniving to place missiles in Poland and the Czech Republic, and buying governments in former Soviet republics and installing US military bases therein. When Russian ...

2007-09-02 16:47:00 ....attack IranPentagon ?three-day blitz? plan for Iran THE Pentagon has drawn up plans for massive airstrikes against 1,200 targets in Iran, designed to annihilate the Iranians? military capability in three days, according to a national security expert.Alexis Debat, director of terrorism and national security at the Nixon Center, said last week that US military planners were not preparing for ?pinprick strikes? against Iran?s nuclear facilities. ?They?re about taking out the entire Iranian military,? he said.Debat was speaking at a meeting organised by The National Interest, a conservative foreign policy journal. He told The Sunday Times that the US military had concluded: ?Whether you go for pinprick strikes or all-out military action, the reaction from the Iranians will be the same.? It was, he added, a ?very legitimate strategic calculus?.President George Bush intensified the rhetoric against Iran last week, accusing Tehran of putting the Middle East ?under the shadow of a nucle...
End of the Republic?
2007-07-26 17:46:00 We are experiencing the greatest constitutional crisis in our nations history. Bush and Cheney should be impeached. They have lied and flagrantly ignored the law and the constitution. Josh Marshall has been opposed impeachment and his reasons are solid - the votes aren't there. Find me seventeen Republican senators who are going to convict President Bush in a senate trial.That perhaps is the real constitutional crisis. I suspect that there are seventeen Senators who know that Bush (and Cheney) should be impeached but will place partisan politics before the future of the nation. Perhaps they should listen to a couple of Republicans. I discussed Bruce Fein in the link above. That brings us to Paul Craig Roberts. To hear Paul Craig Roberts speak you would think he must be wearing the most elaborate tin foil hat ever. Keep in mind that Dr Roberts has been a Republican insider who knows and has worked with Dick Cheney and others. We heard him on Thom Hartmann but you can also read it Co...
Republicans we should listen to
2007-07-20 02:00:00 On the Thom Hartmann show this morning one of the guests was Republican Paul Craig Roberts. Dr Roberts has been trying to warn us about the tyrannical nature of the Bush Cheney cabal for several years and really had his tinfoil hat on this morning. He is convinced that Cheney will "stage" a terrorist attack before the November elections in an attempt to avoid a massive Republican defeat. He agrees with Hartmann's guest the day before, Bruce Fein, a the Republican that authored the Clinton articles of impeachment. Mr Fein repeated some of what he said his Slate article a few weeks ago.Impeach CheneyThe vice president has run utterly amok and must be stopped. Under Dick Cheney, the office of the vice president has been transformed from a tiny acorn into an unprecedented giant oak. In grasping and exercising presidential powers, Cheney has dulled political accountability and concocted theories for evading the law and Constitution that would have embarrassed King George III. The most ...

That Infamous Hitler Analogy
2007-06-18 16:17:00 When talking about the Bush/Cheney administration and the neocon/theocon Republican party Democrats and progressives have been afraid to make comparisons with Hitler. The Libertarian Republicans have not. Ronald Reagan's Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal editorial page Paul Craig Roberts was perhaps one of the first. In an October, 2004 commentary titled The Brownshirting of America he said the following: Bush?s supporters demand lock-step consensus that Bush is right. They regard truthful reports that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction and was not involved in the September 11 attack on the US ? truths now firmly established by the Bush administration?s own reports ? as treasonous America-bashing.[......]In language reeking with hatred, Heritage Foundation TownHall readers impolitely informed me that opposing the invasion of Iraq is identical to opposing America, that Bush is the greatest American leader i...
The trouble with Abraham
2007-06-09 03:22:00 The always shrill Paul Craig Roberts reaches new levels of shrillness inThe Real Reason for Bush?s Invasion of Iraq Isa National Security SecretMillions of Americans have come to their own conclusions about the reasons for Bush?s invasion: (1) Oil: the US government wants to hold on to power by expanding its control over oil, and Bush and Cheney want to reward their oil company cronies. (2) Military-security complex: Police agencies favor war as a means of expanding their power, and military industries favor war as a means of expanding their profits. (3) Neoconservative ideology: Neocons? believe in "American exceptionalism" and claim that America?s virtue gives the US government the right and the obligation to impose US hegemony on the rest of the world, especially in the Middle East where independent Muslim states object to Israel?s theft of Palestine. (4) Karl Rove: Rove used the "war president" role to rescue Bush from attack by Democrats as an illegitimate president elected by ...
So who's fault is it.
2007-05-24 00:15:00 The other day I discussed Gary Kamiya's hard hitting commentary Why Bush hasn't been impeached. He made the following observation. The unpleasant truth is that Bush did what a lot of Americans wanted him to. And when it became clear after the fact that Bush had lied about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein, it made no sense for those Americans to turn on him. Truth was never their major concern anyway -- revenge was. And if we took revenge on the wrong person, well, better a misplaced revenge than none at all.Today shrill Republican Paul Craig Roberts makes the same point in Will Republicans Destroy Themselves Before They Destroy America?. There is no longer any question whatsoever, not a single sliver of doubt, that Americans were deceived into this disastrous war. The President of the United States lied to the American people, as did the Vice President, the National Security Advisor, the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, the Undersecr... |
