Inflation Is Caused by the Announcement of Its Arrival
Paul Craig Roberts
Publix’s latest back-to-back price rises have raised 12 ounces of Community coffee to $13.60 from $11, 12 ounces of Greenfield uncured bacon to $9.19 from $7.99. Seattle’s Best coffee held its price by reducing its offering from 12 ounces to 10. Just to fix a sandwich lunch at home today costs as much as to eat a gourmet evening meal at Claridges in London in 1963.
Today the nightly price of a room at Claridges is $2,258. On November 19 the price drops to $1,874. Today traditional afternoon tea at Claridges is priced from 95 British pounds ($128 dollars) and up per person. In 1963 the price of a full course evening meal at Claridges for two couples (4 people), with chocolate mousse and vintage port totaled 20 British pounds which was $56. So, in 1963 four persons could enjoy a full course meal at one of the finest restaurants in the world for half the price one person pays for an afternoon tea today.
I can’t imagine the price of the 1963 dinner meal for four that I participated in today. Looking at the restaurants bar prices, one fluffy margarita royal cost 2 British pounds more than our gourmet dinner for four.
The cheapest dinner menu today for four is 360 British pounds. Compared to the 20 pounds of my day, it is devoid of exotic offerings. No chocolate mousse. No vintage port. Today even Claridges offers a Signature Burger at 32 British pounds. A hamburger on Claridges’s dinner menu was an impossibility in 1963-64.
If you go to the a la cart menu, you can get a selection of oysters, tuna curdo, scallop ceviche, Cornish crab and a whole lobster for 185 British pounds, which is $250. If we add a starter of a half dozen raw oysters on the half shell at 32 British pounds and an iceberg lettuce and avocado salad at 22 pounds, and some miso glazed carrots at 8 pounds, we have a dinner for one priced at 247 British pounds or $336. For four people the bill today would be $1,344 compared to $56 in 1963, and the present day dinner doesn’t reach the level on the one I had in 1963, which came to 5 British pounds per person. There is no vintage port and no chocolate mousse.
I turned to Claridges’ current wine menu. There is no vintage port on the menu. There is no Veuve Clicquot champagne on the menu and no Dom Perignon. A bottle of Krug, Grande Cure is 450 pounds or $605. Apparently, not even oil sheiks and narcotics barons can afford vintage port.
I have used restaurant prices as an example of inflation, about which more I will write in a moment. It is not the British who sustain these prices. It is Arab oil barons and Afghan drug cartels, and perhaps CIA and MI6 agents on expense accounts hoping to infiltrate these organizations. The example shows not only a decline the quality of an evening meal that even Claridges can offer, but its inaccessibility to any but the rich. In 1963-64 when I enjoyed Claridges I was a graduate student on scholarship with wife at Oxford University. Imagine that today.
I used to write more about economics and inflation. But I found that economics was not a popular subject with my audience. As best as I could figure, the reason is that most thought economics was too difficult to understand. Moreover, they thought they knew enough. For Republicans the problem was the government spent too much and burdened the economy with too much debt. For Democrats the problem was that the rich had too much money, saved too much of it, and left the economy with insufficient consumer demand to maintain full employment. For one party the solution was to cut government; for the other party the solution was to increase it.
My economic lesson for today is that having lived for decades with economists’ explanations of inflation, there is one that they have overlooked. Inflation is caused by Wall Street, the Federal Reserve, and the media declaring its presence. Once inflation is declared, everyone has cover to raise his prices. This is our present cause of inflation. It is a way of boosting profits. Inflation is declared, using for example, Trump’s might be tariffs, and Community Coffee jumps from $11 to $13.60, bacon from $8 to $10. Organic eggs never came down from the virus that resulted in the slaughter, for some reason, only of egg laying chickens. Organic eggs are approaching one dollar per egg. I can remember when a dozen eggs cost 69 cents.
In past writings I have pointed out that the Bureau of Labor Statistics measures inflation in a manner than minimizes it. The same for unemployment. The numbers have little, if any, reliability. Yet markets are moved by the announcement of fake numbers.
This is endemic. What controls stock prices more than speculation about the Fed’s next move on interest rates? If the Fed is expected to lower interest rates, up goes stock prices. If the Fed is expected to raise interest rates, down go stock prices. Equity prices are determined by the amount of money chasing them, not by the soundness of the company’s position and earnings record.
How is it that despite what we constantly hear about the growth in knowledge and education, increasingly unreality is taking the place of reality?
Recently I read a scary article that children who spend their time in video games have difficulty in transitioning from virtual reality into real reality, which is perhaps a development that our masters intend.

The Power Resides in the Enemies of Truth
Paul Craig Roberts
RootsAction is an activist site founded by two progressives to defend the public interest from “an increasingly extremist Republican Party.” RootsAction believes that both parties are compromised by corporate money and power, is against the wars, and was endorsed by Barbara Ehrenreich, Cornel West, Daniel Ellsberg, and Naomi Klein, all principled persons whether or not you agree with them.
Some of the organization’s positions are reasonable–put limits on Super PACs to limit the amount of bought government; consider the risks of nuclear power plants–others are half-baked by ignoring the adverse consequences.
Therefore, I was surprised to receive from RootsAction an email addressed specifically to me, not a mass mailing, calling for Robert F. Kennedy’s removal as Health Secretary. Their case against Kennedy is that the limits he has put on the Covid vax, now proven to have caused more deaths and health injuries than Covid, and on other vaccines associated with the plethora of new childhood illnesses that did not previously exist, together with regulations to improve food safety, “is causing future deaths and suffering on a large scale.” As there is no evidence for this charge, the question arose in my mind whether RootsAction was being paid by Big Pharma as a part of Big Pharma’s policy of putting its profits ahead of Americans’ health and safety. Just as President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s uncle, was considered a risk to the power and profit of the US military/security complex, Robert F. Kennedy Jr is considered a risk to the power and profit of Big Pharma.
This suspicion increased when I saw that RootsAction was predicting future deaths from constraints Kennedy placed on the corrupt revolving door between Big Pharma and the CED, NIH, and FDA and cessation of federal funding for Big Pharma-serving propaganda.
How is it possible that RootsAction has learned nothing from the proliferation of scientific peer-reviewed studies documenting the disastrous effects of the Covid Vax, lockdowns, and masks? As the whore media continues to hide these established results from the public in exchange for Big Pharma advertising revenues, it is possible that RootsAction simply doesn’t know the facts.
The CDC directors and bureaucrats who were fired were fired for putting Big Pharma’s profits ahead of the public’s health. Many of them came from Big Pharma and many returned to Big Pharma.
The Covid Pandemic was an orchestration. Just as RootsAction disapproves, I assume, of the current orchestrations to promote wars, such as Iran’s alleged “nuclear weapons” and Venezuelan President Maduro’s alleged “narcotics cartel,” like Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction” and Assad’s “use of chemical weapons,” RootsAction should disapprove of Big Pharma’s orchestration to remove Robert Kennedy.
For many years my columns have emphasized the decline in the ability of truth to get a hearing. There are many reasons for this: The rise of ideological agendas for which truth is an obstacle, the concentration of the print and TV media in six mega-companies thereby making it possible to establish official narratives regardless of their truthfulness, and an insouciant and largely ignorant population without the interest and ability to examine the official narratives. Indeed, today in the US education consists of indoctrinating students with official narratives and cancelling those who challenge the narratives. The simple fact is that truth is disappearing, because it does not serve the agendas of the ruling elites.
This explains why it is so difficult for Robert Kennedy, Donald Trump with his mandate, and anyone else to set things right. The power resides in the enemies of truth.
Consequently, important issues, often crucial ones, are settled by canceling the narrative challenger, smearing him, arresting him on false charges, passing a law to protect the narrative, or simply by ignoring the challenge which is the whore media’s response to the Covid scandal.
Impossible you say? Think about the recent Russiagate hoax. The entirety of the Biden regime, Democrat Party, TV, print, and NPR media, liberal-left intellectuals and professors, RINO Republicans like Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, the Entire UK and EU press and public figures supported the Russiagate hoax. Yet, as we now know for certain, never was a greater lie perpetuated on the world. The only question remaining is whether those responsible will be held accountable or whether the ruling elite are just too powerful to ever be held accountable.

The Future of this Website Is in the Hands of the Readers
Paul Craig Roberts
September has arrived, and with it my quarterly request for readers support of the site.
Telling the truth, or trying to do so, is not a profession from which a person can make a living.
Most people don’t want to hear the truth, because it is at odds with their indoctrination and preconceived beliefs. Truth makes most people uncomfortable.
To tell the truth is expensive. The real facts are hidden. And a truth-teller is never welcomed in the circles that determine professional success.
Over the course of my lifetime I have watched respect for truth decline. It has declined in politics, media, medicine, education, scholarship, professional societies, and everywhere one looks.
Indeed, today in the “Free West” truth-telling is being criminalized. The criminalization of truth has reached an advanced stage in Britain. In America truth-telling was being turned into a criminal act under the George W. Bush, Obama, and Biden regimes. The fate of truth remains to be seen in the 2nd Trump regime.
Truth-telling does me no good. I do not benefit from it. For the worth of my efforts I rely on the extent of public support.
This leaves it up to readers whether the website continues.
Exactly How Does One Survive Absurdity
Exactly How Does One Survive Absurdity
Paul Craig Roberts
We live in absurd times. We are surrounded by violence, both real and virtual–the Israeli slaughter of Palestinians, the deaths in Ukraine, the violent movies and video games, the violence on the streets in America’s blue cities–but the presstitutes attach warnings to news reports of much smaller incidences of violence. We are supposed to be horrified by the beating that one individual receives but not by the genocide of the Palestinian people. American universities have banned protests in support of the Palestinian people, and in England you can be arrested.
We are supposed to be horrified by the “sexual abuse” of a male propositioning a female, but not by men’s access to women’s spaces and women’s sports, or by the plethora of young women’s porn sites or by their competitions to see who can have sex with the most men in a 24 hour time period.
As for Epstein, readers inform me that the Jews who operate the porn industry, are preparing the legality of adult sex with children. The Democrat school boards in the US are helping the advancement of pedophilia by teaching pre-puberty kids how to copulate and have oral sex. Pedophilia is today euphemized in the term “minor-directed persons.” Apparently, AI is an enabler of the legitimization of pedophilia, along with the grooming of young children by Democrat school boards. AI creates images of sex between adults and females with children’s faces and bodies that present young females as lascivious persons. As the images are not real people, they apparently escape the restrictions on child porn.
The American media has never been an honest, truthful one. But the large number of independent organizations meant that at least on occasion the truth found its way out. No more. Thanks to President Clinton, six mega-corporations owned or controlled by Jews control 90% of the American media. You hear what Israel wants you to hear.
You, dear superpower indispensable American are nothing but an Israeli puppet, indoctrinated and brainwashed to serve Jewish interests, or so say those who are not totally insouciant.
The plethora of virtual violence has numbed us to the real thing. American generals speak of winning nuclear war with only 30,000,000 American casualties, and the Zionist neoconservatives together with Netanyahu push for war with Iran, a war that would likely involve Russia and China.
Unless you are extremely dense, you can see where this is going to lead.

No Justice for Truth-Tellers
No Justice for Truth-Tellers
Paul Craig Roberts
This article is a report or summation of recent news reports about Tina Peters, a Mesa County, Colorado clerk, who was sentenced to prison for nine years for looking at the evidence and reporting Democrat vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Her “crime” was looking at the evidence, which scum Democrats, whore media, corrupt Democrat prosecutors and Democrat judge labeled “breaching the system,” which means looking at the evidence. Finding evidence of vote fraud and letting it out was her second offense. Democrats have made it illegal to reveal the truth about stolen elections if the truth implicates them.
A Democrat activist judge, Matthew Barrett, who seems to epitomize lawfare, sent Peters to prison for 9 years for blowing the whistle on the Democrats’ vote-stealing operation. To be sure the entire country understood his ruling was based on nothing but political pay-back, Barrett denounced the truth-teller standing in his corrupt court for insisting that she acted in the public interest: “I am convinced you would do it all over again if you could. You’re as defiant as any defendant this court has ever seen,” he continued. “You are no hero. You abused your position and you’re a charlatan.”
Barrett could not make it more clear: Peters was expected to be loyal and protect a crime. By truthfully accusing Democrats, she made herself a charlatan by failing to realize that Democrats are more important than mere truth and the integrity of elections. Stealing elections is absolutely the Democrats moral duty or the evil Republicans will gain office. How is it that people like Barrett don’t get pushed in front of a truck?
The principal function of Democrats is to steal elections so that racist white supremacist fascist white America, with open borders, can become a DEI Tower of Babel in which all sexual perversion is legalized and redefined as normal. Some of the crazed Democrats actually want to criminalize heterosexuals and to pass a law against marriage between a white man and women, which perpetuates “aversive racism” by producing white aversive racists.
Evidence has been revealed that clears Tina Peters. The evidence consists of correspondence between Jessi Romero in the Colorado Secretary of State’s office, and two employees of Dominion Voting Machines, machines that experts have said are easily hacked and, if my understanding is correct, can actually be set up to steal elections.
Sheriff Dar Leaf has referred the evidence for criminal investigation. He made it clear that the evidence was withheld by the Democrats from Tina Peters’ attorney. Thus the prosecution discredited the trial and conviction.
So here we have a patriot American imprisoned on totally false charges by a corrupt Democrat prosecution and a corrupt Democrat judge. President Trump cannot pardon her because she is imprisoned for a state crime.
This tells us what it means to live in a blue state. In every blue state to speak any truth that is unfavorable to Democrats is a de facto criminal offense. They will get you.
The Democrat Party is the Party for the Obliteration of Truth.
This fact is beyond the comprehension of the average insouciant American who can’t stop scrolling his/her cell phone long enough to participate in reality.
The inattentiveness and ignorance of the American population is the reason America is rapidly declining into tyranny, a process that the next Democrat regime will complete.
