The Lie Machine Paul Craig Roberts I have come to the conclusion that the West is a vast lie machine for the secret agendas of vested interests. Consider, for example, the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership and the Transpacific Trade and Investment Partnership. These so-called “partnerships” are in fact vehicles by which US corporations make themselves immune to the sovereign laws of foreign countries in...

Ebola Update Paul Craig Roberts A number of readers have read reports that the CIA was active in West Africa just prior to the ebola outbreak, and some have read reports that the ebola strain is a weaponized version engineered to spread by air and surface contact. Some readers ask me to confirm or refute these reports, and others want to know if the One...

US Has More Sanctions Against Russia Than Against Ebola Paul Craig Roberts We have known since . . . well, when haven’t we known that our public officials are incompetent. Their incompetence is always expensive, but now it risks a worldwide ebola pandemic.

Washington Is Destroying The World Paul Craig Roberts The aggressive and mindless stance that Washington’s warmongers have taken toward Russia and China have shattered the accomplishment of Reagan and Gorbachev.

The judges of the competition asked Khrushchev, "May we give the prize to the American?" Khrushchev asked, "Was he the best?" The judges, "Yes." Khrushchev, "Then give him the prize." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qROema2MDI

Noam Chomsky, a moral voice in the West, is 86 years old. Former President Jimmy Carter, another of the rare moral voices in the West turned 90 on October 1, three days ago. What will become of us in the West when these great men pass away and the moral voice in the West goes silent? Who can take their place? Obama? Biden? Jeb Bush?...

More Bad News From The Jobs Front Paul Craig Roberts The Bureau of Labor Statistics headline this morning reads: “Payroll employment increases by 248,000 in September; unemployment rate declines to 5.9%.” How can this be? As I reported yesterday, US corporations are investing in buying back their own stocks, not in new business ventures that produce new jobs. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/10/02/poverty-report-contradicts-gdp-claims-paul-craig-roberts/ According to the Census Bureau’s Poverty...
