âThe day we see truth and do not speak is the day we begin to die.â
- Martin Luther King
Conspiracy theories have now blossomed into what the smug presstitute media calls a âconspiracy culture.â According to the presstitutes, Americans have to find some explanation for their frustrations and failings, so Americans shift the blame to the Bilderbergers, the Rothschilds, the New World Order and so forth and so on.
Readers will not be surprised that I disagree with the presstitutes. Indeed, the conspiracy culture is the product of the presstitute mediaâs failure to investigate and to report truthfully. I am certain that the Western media is worse than the Soviet media was. The Soviet media devised ways for helping the public to read between the lines, whereas the Western media is so proud to be confidants of the government that they deliver the propaganda without any clues to the readers that it is propaganda.
Americans have been fed lies by âtheirâ government and the governmentâs presstitute media for so long that it is not surprising that Americans increasingly believe that there is a conspiracy operating against them. Millions of Americans have been evicted from their jobs, careers, and homes while the crooks who stole from them run free and bankroll the presidential candidates. The world as millions of Americans knew it has come to an end, and no one has been held accountable. The explanation that Americans get from the media is that it is their own fault. They bought houses they shouldnât have bought, and they didnât train for the right jobs. It is not unreasonable for Americans to conclude that a conspiracy is operating against them.
Americans are told that âtheirâ government cannot afford to help them because of the budget deficit and the burden on our grandchildren. But Americans see the trillions of dollars that are lavished on banksters, on wars, and on Homeland Security. Why is a police state and another attack on another Muslim country more important than keeping Americans in their jobs and in their homes?
The 11th anniversary of 9/11 is less than a month away. Will the presstitute media remind Americans that the government has spent $6 trillion of Americansâ money in out-of-pocket and already incurred future costs as the expense of invading and trying to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq, all to no effect except to enrich the managements and shareholders of the military security complex at the cost of destroying the reputation of the United States and putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block?
No, of course not. The spiel will be about our brave troops who are fighting and dying to make the world safe for democracy and womenâs rights. Washington will wrap itself in the flag and exhort Americans to âsupport our troopsâ in the orchestrated war of the day. Hitlery Clinton still gets on the moral high horse and rails at China and Russia, but all the world sees is hypocrisy. No one, not even Washingtonâs puppet governments, any longer takes Washingtonâs moralizing as anything more than a mask for domination by force alone. Democracy, Washington declares, comes out of the barrel of a gun.
Today moralizing is all about money, but not for the 99%. The 99% cannot find good jobs or earn anything on their savings, because the economy is run for the 1%. University graduates cannot get jobs and pay off their student loans. Retraining for the millions of Americans whose jobs were shipped offshore or filled by foreigners brought in on H1-B visas has proved to be a fraud, as there are no jobs for the retrained displaced long-term discouraged American work force. The official jobs projection by the US government is that few university graduates are needed in the work force, so the old mantra that âeducation is the answerâ is just another lie from the Ivy League economic departments who sell the establishmentâs lies for money.
Any American citizen accustomed to travel Americaâs âwide open spacesâ prior to 9/11 must be astonished by the sudden rise of the intrusive Homeland Security, a gestapo-sounding name if there ever was one. Porno-scans and genital feel-ups have spread from airports to bus and train stations and to the public highways, despite the absence of terrorist events. No one in their right mind could possibly think that a 90-year old grandmother in a wheel chair is a terrorist whose diaper needs to be checked or that blond and blue-eyed parents would have strapped a bomb around their 5-year old daughterâs waist. No one except the gestapo Department of Homeland Security.
Even some of the gullible flag-waving patriotic conservatives are beginning to wonder about all the security. The reports that the Department of Homeland Security has ordered 750 million rounds of people-killing ammunition are puzzling even those conservatives who have been taking vicarious pleasure in the slaughter of âtowelheads.â
Why does the Department of Homeland Security need enough ammunition to shoot every American 2.5 times? Why is Homeland Security equipping itself with full-body armor? Why is Homeland Security acquiring new laser technology that can âinstantly know everything about you from 164 feet away?â A new army manual for âCivil Disturbance Operationsâ describes how the military is to be used domestically within the US to put down protests, confiscate firearms and kill citizens.
The police state that is being constructed in âfreedom and democracyâ America is without parallel in history. When the only terrorists are dupes organized by the FBI, it is clear that the purpose of the police state is not to protect Americans from Muslim terrorists. The purpose of the police state is to terrorize US citizens.
It is not only Homeland Security that is being militarized. The government reported that a large ammunition order was made by the National Weather Service, later updated to have been the Fisheries Office. If you are surprised at this, why has the Social Security Administration ordered174,000 rounds of hollow-point bullets?
Lists of Homeland Securityâs ammunition order are available online. Clearly, it is not ammunition for target practice. It is ammunition for killing people: hollow-point bullets for the military rifle, the M-16. Match grade bullets for .308 sniper rifles. 12 gauge shotgun buckshot and slug ammunition. Hollow-point bullets for .357 magnum and .40 caliber pistols.
As there have been no terrorist attacks in the US since the 9/11 attack (itself suspect by experts), except for those organized by the FBI, this massive purchase of firepower is obviously not to protect Americans from Muslim terrorists. So what is it for?
Perhaps this film explains what is in store for the American people who trusted âtheirâ government. War protestors and critics of the government are being redefined as âdomestic extremistsâ who can be arrested for aiding and abetting the enemies of the United States. If Americans wake up to the fact that they are being dispossessed economically, politically, and socially, while Washington is leading them into World War III, and take to the streets in protest, they will encounter extreme military force.
The liberal-left is even more delusional than the flag-waving conservatives. No matter what the government does, conservatives will come down on the governmentâs side. This is because conservatives confuse patriotism with support for the government, not with defense of the Constitution, a suspect document that coddles criminals, terrorists, and war protesters who cause America to lose wars. The liberal-left regards Obama with his half-black origin as a member of the oppressed class, personages endowed by the liberal-left with higher morality. The liberal-left continues to regard Obama as the redeemer even as Obama sits in the Oval Office approving lists of American citizens to be executed without due process of law. Not even Naomi Wolf can wake up the liberal-left.
Do not expect Congress or the presstitutes to do anything about the rapid concentration of power in the police state that Bush and Obama have created. Do not expect to be rescued by federal courts. Even if some judges are inclined to defend the Constitution from its domestic enemy, the courts are powerless if the executive branch does not respect the rule of law. Currently, the executive branch is ignoring a federal judgeâs injunction against the indefinite detention of US citizens. The Department of Justice (sic) lawyers will not even answer the judgeâs questions.
A gullible population is helpless if government decides to enslave the people. It is childâs play for government to discredit a peopleâs natural leaders and those who provide the people with accurate information. Most Americans have a very small knowledge base and very large ideological preconceptions. Consequently, they cannot tell fiction from fact.
Consider the case of Julian Assange. When the US government, angry that WikiLeaks had published leaked documents that revealed the mendacity and deceit of Washington, first struck out at Assange, support for Assange was almost universal. Then Washington put out the story on the Internet that Assange was an intelligence agent working for the CIA or the even more hateful Mossad. Both leftwing and rightwing Internet sites fell for the obvious lie. Here we have gullibility on the level with those who believed Stalinâs charge that Bukharin was a capitalist agent.
Once the libel of Assange began, it over-rode his clearance by the Swedish prosecutorâs office of sexual complaints made by the two women who seduced him. Seeing Assange on the ropes, a female prosecutor reopened the closed case, many believe at Washingtonâs urging. Feminists jumped in, demanding that Assange be punished for his seduction by women as he had obviously tricked or coerced them in some way.
It was like Dominique Strauss-Kahn all over again. Falsely accused of sexually assaulting a New York hotel maid, the Director of the International Monetary Fund, chased on two continents by celebrity-hunting women, was knocked out of the race for the French presidency and had to resign his IMF position. The New York police, trained by decades of feminist propaganda to regard every sex charge brought by a woman as the absolute truth, were made to look foolish and incompetent when clear evidence emerged that the charge was fabricated in order to extract money from Strauss-Kahn and possibly in order to knock him out of contention for the French presidency.
Many websites and normally reliable commentators were taken in by the false story. The Washington hegemons and their presstitute media have been even more successful in fooling Americans about terrorist attacks, Osama bin Laden, the Taliban, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan, Syria, and Iran. What is astonishing is the fact that there have not been any attacks on America, despite the enormous provocations Washington has provided by murdering as many as one million Muslims, destroying three Muslim countries, conducting military operations against seven Muslim countries and preparing an attack on an eighthâIran.
The President of Russia, whose thermo-nuclear ballistic missiles can remove the US from the face of the earth, stated for all the world to hear that Washington has the entire world in fear of its hegemonic drive. âNo one feels safe,â said Putin. And certainly not the Russians with American missile bases on their borders and a Washington-funded disloyal and traitorous political âoppositionâ which serves as Washingtonâs fifth column inside Russia.
America, Putin acknowledged, wants to rule the world. But Washington is not going to rule Russia and China. If the current White House moron keeps his promise to Israeli prime minister Netanyahu that the US will attack Iran next June if Iran does not close down its nuclear energy program (a non-weapons program permitted to Iran as a signatory of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty), the White House will have opened the door to World War III. In such a war the US would not be immune from attack as it was in WW I and WW II. This time America could disappear in nuclear holocaust. If any of the world survives, people will be thankful for Washingtonâs removal from the scene.
Death is what âyourâ government in Washington, both Republicans and Democrats, are bringing you. Both parties are driven by the neoconservatives who believe that American hegemony over the world is worth nuclear war to accomplish. If these dangerous ideologues continue to prevail, life on earth has a very short-run prospect.
Update: Major General Jerry Curry reports that the ammunition orders total almost two billion rounds. See this also.
US police, as this film compilation proves, are now full-fledged Gestapo, the enemy of the people.

What????
Hey Paul Craig Roberts, I only read the title and it angered me so much I had to respond.
Is there a LOGICAL reason you used AmeriKa instead of America? You DO realize that our government is not what makes America, right? It’s the people, more specifically We the People!! It is your great grandparents, grandparents and maybe even parents who FOUGHT, BLED and DIED for America! It was founded by men and women of faith, that faith lied in the One True God and was constructed to that end.
If you used AmeriKa as a slam on her, or as an adjective to prove YOUR point of the tyranny we’re in, then you are WRONG!!!!
Keep your personal ideology out of the stories and REPORT ONLY THE FACTS. Even if it’s an editorial, DO NOT besmirch the blood, sweat and tears of those past and present heroes to PROVE YOUR POINT!!!
You owe ALL of us an apology IN WRITING as a HEADLINE story, don’t you think???
When I said that faith “lied”, what I should have wrote I suppose for clarity is, ‘that faith RELIED on’. Sorry, I was typing 100 mph and was very upset. I’m still upset, and hope you respond!!
just commenting to give you the probable reason for the K:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satiric_misspelling
bull pucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey jim,
Bull pucky to me? Or to this yutz’s story?
Great article!
Shut up Yankee. What articles have you wrote?
What are you doing that will make a difference?
Be constructive for once and stop fight with the people on your side.
Geesh
Who are you? I’ve never conversed with you, and you don’t know who the hell I am.
If you don’t agree and understand the ANYONE who puts a “K” in America is a LOSER, then you too are an unpatriotic, unAmerican ass-wipe too and needs to leave this country you hate so much!!!
You are an ignorant little creature to attack me for my comments. You show your bias toward those who hate America and her policies. I too can’t agree with some of those same policies, but I love America and what most of her history is. Again, if you had ANYONE who bled or died for this country, you have effectively spit on them or their grave by your outrageous comments to me in support of this so-called ‘reporter’ who you evidently admire. Shame on you!!
And on a final note, like it’s any of your business, I am doing more than you know to make a difference. And those differences are POSITIVE instead of negative like YOU and the idiot who wrote this story. So you can stick your sarcasm in you pipe and smoke it, because you haven’t a damn clue!
“Just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. Yet, ignorant enough to accept the increasingly shittier jobs for less pay. All the while never noticing the red, white and blue cock being shoved up your ass.”
-Loosely Quoted from George Carlin
dude, what’s your problem. Sorry, you’re way out of line. the other guy just wiped your logic off his ass.
In response to the Yankee who got so angry over the title that they had to respond without even reading the piece: As a military vet this article does not upset me. It’s more spot-on than you’ll ever be capable of understanding. Only because I’m truly awaking for the first time in 50 years and have invested a daily effort into learning more about capitalism, militarism, consumerism, corporatism, plutocracy, Religion v spirituality, Propaganda, the Ruling Elite, etc. am I stating that I’ve previously read some well-written/researched and not openly public documents that I initially dismissed but now beginning to see a much MUCH larger picture of America from a global sense. Most of us have been quick to see another country’s propaganda but it’s much more difficult to recognize when ‘normal’ is only relative to what you’ve ever been exposed to. I would expect that the author of this article will recognize that I’m distancing myself from the Sheeple….some of whom responded angrily, and some rather ignorantly. I thank you, Dear Author, for scripting a rather ‘risky’ article. You have no reason to apologize to anyone, particularly people like Yankee (who in fact feed the beast best). Peace.
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts is quite an established man with a very impressive resume’, not that wallpaper ever impressed me much. However, he worked for Ronald Reagan and was privy to some pretty sensitive stuff. Frankly, the man knows what he’s talking about. Also, he is quite old now and I think he’s in his 70s. With that said, I’ll take the wisdom of Dr. Roberts into serious consideration every time.
Anyway, I’m glad to hear you’re doing your homework. Many sheeple are beginning to realize the game and following that same path toward truth. We were all sheeple once and there’s no shame in being duped by a system you believed to be true. After all, we all grew up with it and breaking through this matrix of lies and deceit is no easy task.
Take care
