Sizing Up Trump and Putin

Paul Craig Roberts

 

Sizing  Up Trump

Approaching a year since Trump’s third election as president, how do we sum him up?

He has done good things.  He has closed the border.  He is attempting to deport some of the many millions of illegal immigrants that the Democrats brought into our country.  He freed the January 6 protesters framed by a totally corrupt Biden regime “Justice” Department and a whore media.  He is attempting to dislodge the DEI that has replaced merit throughout US society including the military.  He has taken steps to reduce the anti-Americanism of the enormous federal bureaucracy and to stop the weaponization of law against Americans who have traditional American values.  These are enormous achievements, none of which would have been delivered by a Democrat regime.

In light of these achievements, it is frustrating that in other important areas Trump is failing disastrously.  He has supported a genocide with American money, weapons, and diplomatic cover.  He committed an act of war against Iran at the urging of Netanyahu. He has relied on orders to the President of Russia in place of diplomacy.  When his orders are not obeyed, he imposes punishments. The current order is for a cease fire in Ukraine without addressing the underlying cause of the conflict.  The punishment is orders to India and China to stop purchasing Russian oil. In other words, as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said of President George W. Bush, “he speaks as if he owns the world.” Trump’s sovereignty-denying behavior is the opposite of a peace-maker.  He assaults the environment, thus insuring the hostility of much of America’s educated class who regard Trump’s opening of the pristine Alaska wildlife refuge to oil and gas drilling as a travesty.  Clearly, the area cannot be both a refuge and an area of oil and gas exploitation. Environmentalists wonder how long before a bankrupt US government sells the national forests to timber companies.  In his attack on Venezuela, Trump uses the claim of a war against drugs as a cover for a war to overthrow a country and resume US exploitation of its resources, just as George W. Bush used “the war on terror” to overthrow Arab states for Israel.  What is the evidence that small craft in Venezuelan and international waters are loaded with drugs on the way to the US?  How can any evidence be found when the boats are blown up and destroyed instead of boarded and inspected.  What authority does the US have for boarding boats in Venezuelan and international waters?  Trump’s policy is to destroy the craft and the people on them on suspicion alone without evidence or authority.  If US police acted this way in the US they would be arrested for murder.  A government cannot legally execute people without conviction for a capital crime. If there are Venezuelan drug runners, what is the evidence that they are connected to the government? How likely is it that Venezuela, which has been on Washington’s target list for years, would provide Washington with a drug excuse to overthrow the government and install a regime of its own?

The likelihood is that Trump is going to have America at war with Russia, Iran, Venezuela, China, and all who refuse to obey his orders.  

As much as Americans needed Trump’s accomplishments, his failures are a large price to pay. America needs a strong president, because leadership requires strength.  Leadership also requires moral and mutually acceptable solutions, not orders imposed by coercion.  Trump does not own the world, and he cannot impose dictates on Russia, Iran, India, and China.  Something is amiss that the Trump regime cannot see that this is an unsuccessful and dangerous policy.

 

Sizing Up Putin

Among Western foreign policy commentators there seems to be confusion about Putin and Peskov’s insistence that Russia remains committed to the Alaska agreement.  What Putin and Peskov understand the Alaska meeting to have accomplished is obtaining Trump’s agreement that ending the conflict in Ukraine has to begin with resolving the conflict the West has chosen to have with Russia.  What Putin means by the root cause of the conflict is the hostile attitude in the West toward Russia. It is this hostile attitude that brought NATO with US missile bases to Russia’s border, overthrew the Russian friendly Ukraine government, attacked the Russian population of Donbas and forced Russia’s military intervention.  Most Western commentators continue to lie between their teeth that Russia is responsible for starting the conflict in Ukraine when it is clear that the West forced the Russian intervention. To force Russian intervention was the entire purpose of the Maidan Revolution in 2014 and subsequent deception of Russia with the Minsk Agreement, which turned out not to be an agreement.

In the Alaska meeting Putin concluded that Trump agreed that the root cause is the absence of a mutual security agreement denied to Putin by the Biden Regime, NATO, and the EU in January 2022, thus provoking the Russian intervention in Ukraine. First the root cause was to be addressed and then the cease fire.  Putin was not agreeable to a cease fire that would result in Ukrainian forces being rebuilt while negotiations went nowhere.

As John Helmer and I pointed out, the Alaska understanding is inconsistent with Washington’s foreign policy goal of hegemony and with the expectation of billions of dollars in commissions to Western political figures from the sales to Europe of American weapons to continue the war in Ukraine.  With Trump’s success in getting Europe to increase defense budgets to 5% of GDP,  commission payouts gleam in the eyes of Western government officials.

The controlling interests in the West is for the conflict to continue.  Trump’s “advisors” got this through to him, and Trump suddenly cancelled his meeting with Putin and changed his tune yet again.  Now his tune is again that the killing has to stop first with a cease fire, and then the negotiations can begin.  This, of course, serves no Russian interests except those of Putin’s “advisor,” Kirill Dmitriev, a spokesman for Russian business interests whose connections are in the West and not with BRICS.  Dmitriev wants Putin to give up, as does Putin’s central bank director, so that American-Russian business interests can be mended and the profitable connections of Russian businesses with the West can be restored.

Why Putin relies on self-interested Kirill Dmitriev and pro-American central bank director Elvira Nabiullina, who set up $300 billion in Russian assets to be frozen and now possibly used to fund Ukraine’s continuation of the war for another three years, I do not know.  It strikes me as the worst possible judgement by a leader who is trying to avoid WW 3.

Why Trump relies on Witcoff and Kellogg is equally puzzling.  It is extraordinary that the two leaders who, we hope, are working to avoid  WW 3, are relying on “advisors” who are working against them.  

My  conclusion is that money and US hegemony are more important than avoiding war.  So it is likely we will get war.

Like John Helmer and myself, Gilbert Doctorow is outside the box of the official narrative.  This means that the three of us are subjected to name-calling instead of engagement with our analysis.  It is OK with me if I can be shown to be wrong–indeed, I would be glad of it as my conclusion is depressing–and I assume Helmer and Doctorow feel the same.  Those few of us who are outside the box cannot afford to have thin skin.

Doctorow has raised the issue of how much longer Putin can hold to his hopes that Trump will flip back to the Alaska agreement between the two world leaders and perhaps this time stay there.  Resolving the conflict is a far better solution than a major war certain to turn nuclear.  To be clear, Doctorow, Helmer, and I admire Putin for his effort to avoid war.  He is clearly a moral and humane person, unlike the money-grabbers in the West who put their profits ahead of the survival of humanity. When Doctorow says Putin shows cowardice, perhaps he means  that this is the way Putin appears to the US, UK, and Europe.  In other words, Putin’s good intentions are working against him.

Doctorow, who watches the state controlled Russian TV programs on which the war and foreign policy are discussed and who is currently in Moscow looking into the evolving attitude toward the war as best as he can, has noticed a growing impatience with the way Putin has been  conducting the war for nearly four years.  In foreign policy circles, if not within Putin’s own circle, the futility of attempting to negotiate with the West and Washington is recognized.  Among Russian populations, their life is increasingly disrupted by long-range drone attacks that disrupt GPS service, airline flights, internet service, and prevent businesses from completing sales transactions, and there are the occasional civilian deaths far from the battlefield.

The rising criticism of Putin’s conduct of the war in foreign policy circles and the public reached a new level, Doctorow reports, when the main TV news analysis program’s host said that negotiations had failed and it was time to “destroy Ukraine” and quickly end the war.  The deputy Russian foreign minister agreed as did, it seems, Lavrov, both of whom were contradicted by Kremlin spokesman Peskov. The program’s host is a protege of the director of Russian state TV.  Neither he nor the deputy prime minister would have risked taking such positions unless there was much support behind them.

Why the contradiction by Peskov as the TV host and deputy foreign minister are obviously correct?  The answer, it seems, is that Putin is holding on to hopes too long.  A conflict that should have had a victorious conclusion for Russia within a matter of weeks is now almost 4 years long.  The four long years are marred with endless undefended red lines that have convinced the West that Putin can be knuckled under.  Consequently, the war has ever widened. Putin’s misjudgment is turning a limited conflict into a world war.  

Here I will state the root cause of the problem as clearly as it can be stated for both Americans and policy-makers in Washington and Europe and for Russians and the Kremlin.  War is profitable for the Western military-security complex.  Ending conflict hurts those who profit from it, as President Eisenhower warned Americans in 1961.  The doctrine of US hegemony expressed by the Wolfowitz Doctrine when the Soviet Union collapsed, thus removing the only constraint on US hegemony, is still operative.  This doctrine allied with money interests is the basis for Washington’s hostility toward Russia.  The Wolfowitz Doctrine and the profits of war are the obstacles to ending the root cause of the conflict.

There Will Be No Ukraine Peace Deal:  Putin Should Quickly Win the Conflict Before It Leaves His Control. Otherwise, a Big War Is in the Making

There Will Be No Ukraine Peace Deal:  Putin Should Quickly Win the Conflict Before It Leaves His Control. Otherwise, a Big War Is in the Making

Paul Craig Roberts

One wonders how much longer Putin and Lavrov will take it or even if they comprehend the situation.  

For four years Putin and Lavrov have demonstrated enormous interest in ending the conflict by resolving the basic cause. 

The West has never bothered to understand that the basis of the conflict is Washington’s hegemonic foreign policy and NATO and US missile bases on Russia’s borders in Poland and Romania. The Kremlin has been reluctant to see this and provocations, such as the conflict in Ukraine created by US Zionist Neoconservatives, as a declaration of war on Russia.

The Kremlin mistakenly has relied on the West coming to its senses and realizing that profits from economic interaction are preferable to war, especially nuclear war.  This reliance on common sense by the Kremlin has proven to be wrong. Putin made a very bad bet.

John Helmer has pointed out that no Western government wants an end to the conflict because of the large rake-off in commissions from weapons sales.  

Gilbert Doctorow and myself have pointed out that the war under Putin’s direction has widened far beyond Putin’s uninforced “red lines” and now consists of drone attacks deep inside Russia.  These attacks are causing GPS disruptions, airline delays, internet inaccessibility and delays in payments processing, as well as some Russian civilian deaths.  

Russians are tiring of it, and they are tiring of Putin’s endless toleration of it.  Increasing numbers of ordinary people and elites want the conflict finished with the destruction of Ukraine.  Conventional weapons suffice.  Nuclear means are not needed.

By never enforcing Russia’s declared “red lines,” Putin created a picture of Russia unwilling and unable to fight for its sovereignty.  

The West has noticed this, and Trump, having again abandoned the peace role and returned as bully has ordered the President of Russia to agree to a cease fire in place without addressing the root cause of the conflict.  

If Putin agrees, Russia will have lost her sovereignty.  Whether this simple fact has occurred to Putin and Lavrov I do not know. Alexander Dugin, Russia’s famous philosopher has tried to tell them. https://alexanderdugin.substack.com/p/sovereignty-and-war?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=2827487&post_id=176929263&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx5km&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email 

The White House has declared that Trump’s meeting with Putin is off for now.  Trump has again rolled out the “punishments.”  The US Treasury has imposed additional sanctions on the Russian’s oil companies, Lukoil and Rosneft.  The US Treasury’s excuse is: “Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine.” 

“Russia’s lack of serious commitment to a peace process to end the war in Ukraine” means Putin’s unwillingness to accept orders from bully Trump.

Trump’s sanctions have no adverse effect on Russia.  Following Trump’s oil sanctions, the oil price spiked.  Given the inelastic demand for oil, the higher oil price will offset any decline in the amount sold.  Trump’s foolish oil sanctions do dispossess Americans and Europeans who invested in the two Russian oil companies and now have huge gains that they cannot access because their accounts have been frozen by the buffoon’s previous sanctions.  American investors’ accounts in Russian oil companies are valued at zero despite the high value of the stocks.  The American investors are pressured by their account providers to write off their Russian holdings.  In other words Trump’s “sanctions on Russia” dispossesses Americans and Europeans.

The only effect of the White House Buffoon’s Russian sanctions has been to ruin European and American investors.

Not content with Russia, China, and Iran as America’s chosen enemies, Trump creates more enemies for America with his preposterous order to India not to buy Russian oil.

How is Trump going to enforce his order? Is the buffoon going to start bombing India?  Is there not one ounce of intelligence anywhere in the Trump regime?

Here is what Trump has done.  It is the worst possible.  He has driven up the price of oil which will affect Western economies adversely including his own, and bring more revenues to Russia.  He has finally destroyed Russian illusions about a reconciliation with the West.  Putin is being pressured to give up his groundless hopes and win the war.

The war, or course is now much wider than Ukraine.

“Anti-Semitism” Has Spread Into Prominent Jewish Ranks

“We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories wrote. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.”

The appeal includes former Knesset speaker Avraham Burg, Israeli peace negotiator Daniel Levy, authors Michael Rosen and Naomi Klein, Oscar-winning filmmaker Jonathan Glazer, actors Wallace Shawn and Ilana Glazer, and philosopher Omri Boehm. The group has urged world leaders to enforce International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court rulings, halt arms sales, and impose targeted sanctions on Israeli officials and entities complicit in alleged crimes.

The petition follows a shift in public opinion among American Jews and voters more broadly. A recent poll by the Washington Post found that 61% of US Jews believe Israel has committed war crimes in Gaza, and 39% say it is committing genocide. A separate Quinnipiac survey in August found that half of US voters hold the same view.

Clearly the Military/Security Complex Does Not Expect Trump to Deliver Peace

23. Oktober 2025 - 12:46

The West Has Decided It Will Be War

Paul Craig Roberts

Gilbert Doctorow and I have pointed out that Putin’s effort to prevent wider war has caused wider war.  The White House’s cancellation of the meeting of Trump with Putin in Hungary is powerful evidence of Putin’s strategic blunder of pretending that the war the West has declared on Russia was merely a limited military operation in Donbas to rescue the Russian populations there from massacre by the US trained and equipped Ukrainian neo-nazi army. Trump cancelled the meeting, because Putin refused a cease fire that left the root cause of the conflict unaddressed.

The root cause of the conflict is the West’s hostility toward Russia,  The Wolfowitz Doctrine says that the principle goal of US foreign policy is to prevent the rise of any country that could serve as a constraint on American unilateralism,  In addition to Russia and China, declared as American enemies, there is on a regional basis Iran.

Thus, America’s three enemies.

The root cause of the conflict is America’s hegemonic foreign policy ideology.  This together with NATO and US missile bases on Russia’s border creates enormous Russian insecurity.  The solution is to renounce Washington’s hegemonic doctrine and consent to a mutual security agreement that gets NATO off of Russia’s border.

That is not going to happen.  There is no recognition in Western foreign policy of the threat posed to Russia.  Instead the threat is misrepresented as a Russian threat to invade Europe, which is total nonsense.

As facts play no role, no good decision can be made.  That means war, not peace.

The financial markets see the future to be war:

The Downfall of Europe: Former UK PM Liz Truss wants national sovereignty, accountability, restoration of traditional values

https://hannenabintuherland.com/currentaffairs/the-downfall-of-europe-former-uk-pm-liz-truss-wants-national-sovereignty-accountability-restoration-of-traditional-values/ 

continue to pour out of Europe and the UK complaining of the hostility shown by governments against their white citizens. Even a recent British prime minister, Liz Truss, complained about the 30-year coverup by British governments of both parties of mass rapes of white British girls by dark skinned immigrant-invaders who now comprise large populations in a number of British cities and  hold many government positions and peerages.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Muslim_politicians   Liz Truss was quickly ridiculed and driven from office for uttering a truth.

According to the 2021 census, white British people comprise only 36.8% of London’s population, a decline from 44.9% in 2011. This is a substantial decline in 10 years.  If this decline continues, by 2041 London will be emptied of white British nationals.

In Britain and Sweden it can be a hate crime for a white female to complain of rape by an immigrant-invader. If the white female is a child and the parents complain, it is the parents who are threatened with prosecution for a hate crime.  It was this intimidation of whites that enabled the British governments to coverup the mass rape of white British females by immigrant-invaders for three decades.  The British governments that have facilitated massive inflows of immigrant-invaders covered up their crimes in order to protect the open borders policy.

Once the Democrats regain control of the US government, they will resume America’s travel down the same path.

Despite the adverse consequences of uncontrolled immigration, white voters in affluent states, such as California, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, New York, and Massachusetts, continue to vote Democrat and to attempt to prevent federal authority from deporting illegal aliens.

Trump is a buffoon in many ways. He is an Israeli puppet and, thereby, a foreign policy disaster, but he is not guilty of permitting immigrant-invaders to have their way with white American females. One might think that women would appreciate this, but American women are overwhelmingly against Trump.

I regard this as further evidence that not enough Americans have sufficient intelligence for the society to survive.  This was Jean Raspail’s conclusion in 1973 about all white ethnicities. Raspail saw 52 years ago that the Western education system and media had created so much white guilt and self-doubt that white ethnicities were incapable of defending themselves.  In the US white heterosexual males have suffered for six decades  from racial discrimination in university admissions, employment, and promotion.  The US Secretary of War recently addressed 800 US generals and admirals in a long speech attempting to eliminate racial discrimination against white heterosexual males in the US military.  Not a single member of the audience clapped. This is the military that  conservatives think is going to save them from the Democrats.

A sixty year old white American male has suffered from racial and gender discrimination all his life.  Still today nothing has been done about the violation of the US Constitution’s prohibition of disparate treatment under law.

Think about it for a minute.  For 60 years it has been legal in the US to discriminate against white heterosexual males in favor of blacks and women. Nothing whatsoever was done about it.

A Note from PCR about the Situation on the Russian Front

Gilbert Doctorow, who is currently in Russia, reports that Russian life is increasingly disrupted and inconvenienced by drone strikes deep into Russia.  The cost and frustration has resulted in growing percentages of the population losing patience with Putin’s limited and never-ending war.  The dissatisfaction with Putin’s conduct of a war now completing its fourth year is found also among governing elements.  Consequently, Putin has hardened his line with regard to the terms of a settlement with the West.

Once the Trump gang understood that Putin would not agree to a ceasefire in place and that Putin was not going to yield to Trump’s demands, the White House signaled that the Trump-Putin meeting was off for the time being.

John Helmer has reported that a resolution of the conflict, regardless of the terms on which it is resolved, does not suite the war interests that essentially control the decision.  Trump has roped Europe into raising its military spending to 5% of its GDP, an increase that means enormous amounts of money flowing into US weapons purchases generating  massive amounts of commissions on the sales for the government officials involved.  War is too big of a profit generator and wealth creator for involved individuals to permit peace.  Helmer discusses the power of money here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSCtej_3NJQ&list=PLzImU_KHY9-KypTSeXTCTqTPQBBLosMPF&index=5 

The chances that the world is headed to war would be reduced if the American, British, and European foreign policy communities were capable of discussing the factual reality.  Instead, anyone such as Doctorow, Helmer, or myself who presents the reality of the situation is rudely dismissed with ad hominem attacks.  As long as the real facts are prohibited, no good decisions can be made.

The Destruction of America Is What the Democrats Stand For

The Destruction of America Is What the Democrats Stand For

Paul Craig Roberts

The Democrat Party needs to change its name as it certainly isn’t democratic.  The Democrats have shut down the government in order to prevent democracy from working.  By freezing the government, they are trying to prevent the MAGA agenda that the people voted for.  The Democrat’s method of operation is:  When you can’t steal the election, shutdown the government.

By making democracy dysfunctional, the Democrats are bolstering the power of the executive branch.  It is not possible to have a government as large as the one the Democrats have created and prevent it from operating.  The result is to move power to the executive.  

In order to function, democracy requires considerable unity.  If differences are too great, there cannot be compromise.  All of the Western “democracies” have reached that point.  European politics is fragmented.  No party can produce a majority government.  Consequently a coalition of parties has to be assembled whose purpose is to block the “wrong” coalition from governing or, more correctly, attempting to govern.  

In the US, still a two party system, it becomes impossible when one of the parties becomes ideological, as the Democrats have done.  The agenda of the Democrats is to transform the US into a Sodom & Gomorrah Tower of Babel in which all sexual preferences are normal and white racists are replaced by peoples of color.  DEI is how the Democrats symbolize this agenda. They have institutionalized it everywhere, even in science where research funding is provided on a DEI basis and not on the basis of the merit of the proposal.

A revolutionary party becomes insurrectionist, as we are witnessing today with Democrat mayors, city councils, governors, and federal judges resisting the deportation of the immigrant-invaders that the Democrats not only allowed in with their open borders policy but actually organized and financed the invasion with taxpayers’ money. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2025/10/19/the-no-kings-protest-is-insurrection/ 

The Democrats’ DEI ideology is anti-merit, which means that Democrats support legal privileges based on race, declared gender, and sexual preference.  It is the death of equality under the law and the resurrection of aristocratic privilege, only the privileges go to sexual perverts and darker-skinned peoples from outside the American tradition and mores.  In means the destruction of the country.

Donald Jeffries Explains How Jews Destroyed White Gentile America

Donald Jeffries Explains How Jews Destroyed White Gentile America

https://donaldjeffries.substack.com/p/black-fatigue-in-a-zionist-world?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=344941&post_id=176647860&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=dx5km&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email 

I spend too much time watching videos of perpetually angry Black people attacking and assaulting White people. Always easy targets. Usually in gangs. Often starting with a cowardly sucker punch. But you can’t ignore them. They’re everywhere. Earlier this year, the shocking frequency of them triggered what was dubbed Black Fatigue.

Now, I wrote about what I called African American Fatigue Syndrome a few years back. I’m not bitter over the simpler Black Fatigue catching on. We’re talking about the same thing after all. Bluntly stated, those of us who aren’t “African-American” are saddled with a minority group that we cannot help but interact with at times. This group, although only about 12 percent of the population, is a very loud demographic, and their concerns and alleged mistreatment at the hands of the other 88 percent of the people is drummed into our heads continuously by what Donald Trump has christened the Fake News. The rest of us are supposed to be unduly interested in the welfare of these “African-Americans,” even to the extent of prioritizing them over our own families. What, after all, is more important than a young Black man in the “hood?” Stop whining about living paycheck to paycheck, or the fact you aren’t paid enough to save any money. You should be concerned instead about “Reparations.”

Sure, you might have experienced a medical emergency and find it impossible to pay the bill that comes courtesy of our thoroughly evil Medical Industrial Complex. It might have impacted your “quality of life,” to use a favorite term of that same Complex. But what about all those Black children with indecipherable names, who are forced to graduate from high school without ever learning to read? Who can’t perform basic math problems? Of course, we all know that grammar and math are “racist,” but why aren’t you worried about how they can all become “influencers,” rappers, and other kinds of laughable celebrities? As Humphrey Bogart once said, your problems don’t amount to a hill of beans. Not to some resident of a real, genuine “hood.” Where the nights are full of high excitement. Will there be an actual drive-by shooting here? Will some “gangstas” kill other “gangstas” who “disrespected” them? Don’t tell me about your Parkinson’s Disease. Have you ever been really and truly “disrespected?”

The AI photo above reflects a tragic reality; Black males have long been prone to raping White females. Forget To Kill a Mockingbird. Look at the official crime statistics. While Black on White rape is all too common, Whites raping Blacks is so statistically negligible as to be considered nonexistent. Yet, Hollywood always depicts things that way, doesn’t it? Eldridge Cleaver bragged about all the White women he raped in his allegedly best-selling memoir, Soul on Ice. How could a major publisher not publish it? I don’t have to tell you that there are very few former altar boys controlling the major publishers. White women especially ate that stuff up. Accounts of White women being raped. Somehow, that’s cool, as long as the rapists were a particular magical color. Ask the German “activist” who apologized to the migrants who raped her. Or the German girl who was given a longer prison sentence than the migrant rapists for “insulting” them. You’ve come a long way from Hitler, baby.

As I’ve said before, I am fatigued beyond measure by the ghetto mentality. Ghetto issues. Ghetto “fashion.” Ghetto “music.” I have zero tolerance for hearing any more Black people yelling. About anything. Being called “racist” doesn’t bother me in the least. It’s a label that has lost whatever meaning it might have ever had. I think Trotsky invented the term, didn’t he? You know, the former Lev Bronstein from New York. Who became a leading figure in the “Russian” revolution. Wound up with an icepick in the head, Lev did. Now, that’s ghetto. That’s “keeping it real.” I think Lev might have invented the term “anti-Semitism” too. “Anti-Semitism” and “racism” go together. Like a horse and carriage, in the words of the old song. Those words were written by yet another non-Irishman, Sammy Cahn. Old Lev would have been proud. Which brings us to the more important part of the equation. Just who ensures that there is always an endless array of Black complaints? Who promotes this?

I’m sure anyone reading this knows the answer to that. It wasn’t a group of Mormons. Or lesbian Presbyterians. Or one-legged Eskimos. Or transgender Unitarians. If any other group held the kind of power that those who are whole or partially Jewish do, the sleeping Sheeple would at least be aware of it. Because our lapdog press would at least acknowledge it. The lame investigatory process, such as it exists in America 2.0, is controlled by this magical Two Percent of the population. From the FBI to the New York Times, Jewish concerns are front and center. Since the primary concern of powerful American Jews is unquestioned taxpayer support to the parasitic state of Israel, their concerns are most often expressed as Black concerns. It is they who have pushed and promoted Blacks to the exclusion of all others, since the days when some hoaxer with incredible foresight produced the Protocols of Zion. Even got Henry Ford on board. Poor Henry, invented the car and gets labeled a despicable “anti-Semite.”

This marriage of Black and Jew is so prevalent that you have turn off your critical thinking skills not to see it. Who promoted all those Black big band leaders, and then the early rock and rollers? They weren’t Christmas Celebrators, to use comedian Leonarda Joni’s phrase. Of course, there were many Black performers with talent, but that many? Who guided the careers of Black big band leaders like Duke Ellington, and early rock and roll artists like Little Richard and Chuck Berry? After all, weren’t they all being viciously discriminated against in those days? Well, to be fair, those “guiding” their careers did invariably cheat and rob them of their earnings. What were all those White audience members doing, cheering on people who couldn’t stay in the same hotel with? Who wrote all those Brill Building songs of the early 1960s? Carole King? Cynthia Weil? Gerry Goffin? Neil Sedaka? No Irish in that bunch. And they wrote most of those songs for Black artists to perform.

Who produced the slew of Black television comedies in the 1970s? I think Norman Lear is still alive. Ask him if he goes to a synagogue or a church. Why did Lear, and so many other prominent Jews, have such a strong desire to promote Black comedians, Black musicians, and more recently Black politicians? Why didn’t they just promote members of their own tribe as rock and roll stars, etc? Sure, there was half-Jewish Gary Lewis. And David Lee Roth. Dee Snyder. The Beastie Boys. K.I.S.S. Going back to the early days of Hollywood, Jewish performers still were disproportionately represented onscreen, as they absolutely dominated things behind the scenes. Think of all the poor White gentiles, standing there with Fender Stratocaster in hand, waiting for somebody’s nephew named Seymour to “discover” them. Call it “hate.” Call it “anti-Semitism.” It’s undeniable who runs our culture. And that culture, on the surface, has the visage and “style” of ghetto Black people.

Considering how many videos are produced, on a daily basis, of Black people behaving badly, a sane society’s response should be to expose and try to correct this behavior. It’s irrational behavior. It’s uncivilized behavior. And it’s behavior that we don’t see any other group engaging in. Yet this same behavior is perfectly normal for untold numbers of this one particular minority group. Unbelievably conceited and arrogant “self-esteem,” nurtured from childhood by the non-Irish overlords of our culture. Senseless and unearned pride from non-accomplishments. Hyper sensitivity over any perceived slight, colloquially framed as “dissing.” You don’t “dis” a Black person. In spite of their inflated self-worth, they can be deflated by the simplest critique. Well, more often driven to violence by criticism. Or even someone looking at them. Kind of like how Hillary Clinton and other elitists don’t want the commoners to gaze upon them. As with dangerous animals, it’s best not to attract their attention.

So what are we doing here? Why are we accepting the presence of so many tightly wound, ticking time bombs all over the country? Why is it so hard to stand up to them, and demand that they follow the same rules we all are forced to follow? Why do so many White prosecutors continue to permit violent Black offenders to go relatively unpunished for their crimes? And who steered all those anti-White Black prosecutors and mayors into positions of power? The George Soroses? Do I even need to ask the question at this point? So, we essentially have people from that magical Two Percent of the population, rigging things in favor of those from the often obnoxious second largest minority group in America. That’s right; Blacks haven’t even been our largest minority group for quite some time. That honor belongs to Hispanics. And yet you don’t see a single Hispanic weatherman on television. Somebody tell the advertising companies that the other 88 percent of aspiring actors would like to have a chance.

But those ad companies, like the television networks, film studios, record companies, and big social media platforms, are all run by the same intrepid non-Irish. You want to contend that powerful Jews haven’t engineered this absurdly over-the-top obsession with American Blacks? Then explain all those executives, and agents, and managers, who work “for” Black performers. None of them come from the Catholic Legion of Decency. The Dr. Frankensteins who created the angry and aggressive Black personalities that hold so many positions of ground level power today weren’t German mad scientists. Some of them originally came from Germany, but none of them sing Christmas Carols. Our only hope of stopping this madness is in Frankenstein’s monster turning on its creators. That appears to be happening to an increasing extent, as can be seen on so many Black podcasts. Can a scattered bunch of Boris Karloffs of Color do what millions of Americans can’t- hold Black people accountable?

From Martin Luther King to Muhammad Ali, there was always a Jew in close proximity, manipulating the situation. These ridiculous modern Black “stars” don’t install themselves. They’re installed by someone else. Someone with great power, standing in the shadows. Do you want to tell me that someone thought Whoopi Goldberg, for example, was ever funny? That Puff Daddy/P Diddy was talented? I’m working on my book about corruption in sports, and I’ll document how many unworthy Blacks have been elevated in football, basketball, etc. To “star” for teams that largely are owned now by members of that familiar Two Percent. Blacks aren’t elevated by crusading Methodists. They aren’t wildly overrated by those who rejoice at Easter. They are mostly managed by those who have a curious vested interest in their success. By the time he’s Bar Mitzvahed, what does a Jewish boy get out of a disproportionate number of Blacks succeeding in sports and show business?

I’ve written here before about all the high profile Jewish figures who have left scathing anti-White comments on the public record. About wanting us to be exterminated. Kind of ironic, isn’t it? These elitist Jews don’t appear to consider themselves White, which is decidedly odd. But it does explain their zealotry in relentlessly promoting Black figures. It’s almost like the passage in the Protocols of Zion that talked about ensuring that Blacks rise to prominence in all areas, especially sports and entertainment, wasn’t some “anti-Semitic” forgery. That almost sounds like a far-reaching conspiracy. Quick- call your local chapter of the Anti-Defamation League. Get some White fired. Promote some Black. It’s a simple game, really. Whatever you do, don’t demand that Black criminals be punished. Enable them. Emulate them. Indulge them. Even when they openly hate you. Whites will soon be a minority. Applaud on cue. And for goodness’ sake, please don’t have any White babies.

Let’s say some young White guy was playing his country music really, really loud in a public place. Do you think that everyone would just look away, or pretend not to notice? If an irate Asian began throwing things, wrecking some local fast food place, because they were out of hot mustard, do you think the manager would be excessively patient? Or the police when they finally arrived? And yet most Whites are terrified to face this reality. And petrified to state the truth; that however few Blacks are involved, ghetto misbehavior is a huge problem in this country. Without Black crime, what exactly would the U.S. crime rate even be? Sure, the Hollywood studios, run again by those noted non-Irish, would have you believe that Russian gangs rule the mean streets of our big cities. I think too many Whites actually believe this is true. Live in fear of being carjacked by a Russian. But to the nonstop stream of Black crime in those actual cities, they just shrug. And fawn over the Snoop Doggs of the world.

When Blacks play the “Knockout Game” and sucker punch old Asian ladies, it’s because of “White Supremacy.” When an all Black football team underperforms, it’s the fault of the White coaches. Blacks are never at fault. Unless they’re a Kanye West, and talk just a bit too much about how Jews have robbed them. Then they become figurative “White Supremacists” themselves, kind of like Shabbos goys. Blacks enjoy undeserved accolades, but are never accountable for bad acts. And continue to claim victimhood status, even as they harm others. In this, they are mirroring their masters, the collective Dr. Frankensteins. Who are supposedly the scapegoats of the world they appear to largely run. Rules and laws are for the peasants, the goyim. They control the horizontal and the vertical. Somehow, we can’t force them to diversify. If you’re not confronting the truth, you’re part of the problem. Fair is fair. Equality is equality. We have to stop acting like Orwell’s Proles, if we want to truly be free.

Can the Trump-Putin Meeting in Hungary Succeed?

Can the Trump-Putin Meeting in Hungary Succeed?

Paul Craig Roberts

The meeting between Trump and Putin in Hungary, assuming the pre-meeting negotiations between the envoys of the two presidents get that far, is likely the last chance for peace instead of war.  An agreement between the two presidents will require large adjustments in position for one or the other or both.

Either Trump would have to understand and accept that the solution is to get NATO off of Russia’s border and agree to a mutual security agreement between Russia and the West, or Putin would have to give up his goal of a mutual security agreement that brings an end to hostility, sanctions, and ceaseless provocations of Russia.  How likely are Trump’s envoys for Ukraine, Gen. Keith Kellogg and Steve Witkoff, and Putin’s envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, to produce that mutual understanding?

It is possible but unlikely.  The envoys on both sides have their own agendas.  They will be working to serve their agendas.  Kirill Dmitriev represents Russian business interests whose contacts are in the West and who have few, if any, with BRICS.

Kellogg has international business interests and will be serving those interests.  Witcoff is a billionaire real estate developer and at times seems to represent Israel.  

None of the three envoys has any comprehension of the depth and danger of Russia’s insecurity with missiles positioned on a long front along Russia’s border.  Dmitriev, like the American enjoys, wants concessions from Putin that will allow Russian business interests to be working with Western ones.  Consequently, they will be working for their interests and not for removing the threat that is Russia’s concern.

Perhaps if American foreign policy commentary focused on the real problem and spent less time demonizing Russia and “exposing” Russian military and economic vulnerabilities, something positive could happen.  But there is no sign of commentary that deals with the real situation.

Simply ending the Ukraine conflict and agreeing that the territory reincorporated into Russia is Russian does not end the security threat presented to Russia from having NATO and US missile bases on Russia’s border.

What is required is a mutual security agreement and the end to all provocations of Russia.

What Is the Real Reason for Sarkozy’s Prison Sentence?

What Is the Real Reason for Sarkozy’s Prison Sentence?

Paul Craig Roberts

I never cared for former French president Nicolas Sarkozy. Nevertheless, I see his conviction for campaign funding irregularities as a payback for something other than the official charge.  I am puzzled by, and have read no explanation of, why the establishment, including Washington, that selected him as France’s president after serving as a mayor for two decades, turned on its candidate.

The official narrative is corruption, a charge that could be applied to most politicians who enter the public arena to serve their careers and fortunes, not to serve a nebulous “public interest.” 

The charge on which Sarkozy was convicted is too commonplace to be taken seriously.  Declared by the presiding judge to be of “exceptional gravity,” it amounts to a promise to help Libya restore its standing in international affairs in exchange for political campaign contributions. It is unclear whether the deal was ever put into operation or is anything more than an alleged plot.

Exchanging political favors for campaign contributions is the way democracy functions.  The US Supreme Court has legalized the right of organized interests to purchase government favors.  We might reason that Sarkozy violated a norm by dealing with foreign interests instead of merely domestic ones.  However, President Trump openly brags about the $148 million that Miriam Adelson, America’s richest Jew, gave to his political campaign, along with 67 million from Paul Singer and $64 million from Michael Bloomberg. In exchange, President Trump diligently attends to Israel’s interest.

As for influence peddling, no charges have been brought against Biden, his son Hunter, or Bill and Hilary Clinton. 

The question before us is what is Sarkozy’s real offense that has caused him a five year prison sentence in solitary confinement?

I sometimes remark on the decline of the West to third world levels where the incoming government prosecutes the outgoing one.  The Democrats did their best to imprison Donald Trump and would have succeeded had he not won reelection.  Now the French have imprisoned a former president on nebulous charges. The tendency to ban or arrest political opponents is becoming characteristic of Western countries.  I see the weaponization of politics as further evidence that the West is in its end days.

The Digital Revolution Continues Its Massive and Inevitable Failure

The Digital Revolution Continues Its Massive and Inevitable Failure

Nothing is secure.  Nothing is reliable. Your identity and everything you have can be stolen.  No one will answer a telephone and will only call back recognizable numbers. Contacting a service provider is a time-consuming, frustrating nightmare.  All stored information is subject to being erased.  AI can create fake evidence against innocent people.  Those who control search engines control information.  Those who provide the data base control AI results.
