The Ever Widening War

Paul Craig Roberts

Zero Hedge, normally a reliable site, reports that the US Department of Defense and the NATO Secretary General claim that 10,000 to 12,000 North Korean soldiers have joined Russian forces in Kursk to help drive out the Ukrainian incursion.  https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/pentagon-warns-no-limits-ukraine-support-if-north-korea-joins-war 

The Pentagon spokeswoman, Sabrina Singh, says that if these North Koreans do for Russia what French troops and NATO personnel are doing for Ukraine, the US will remove its ban on NATO firing missiles into Russia from Ukraine.  

As Putin has said, this would mean the US/NATO are at war with Russia, which, Putin has implied, means a nuclear response from Russia. Why Putin is OK with drones fired deep into Russia but not missiles is unclear.

What do we make of this report?  It strikes me as nonsensical and contrary to Putin’s abhorrence  of expanding the conflict.  It also strikes me as nonsensical that Russia cannot expel  Ukrainians from Kursk without North Korean reinforcements. 

There are two possible real explanations.  One is that Washington’s military/security complex wants to carry the war further into Russia, confident from Putin’s past non-response that Putin will do nothing about it, and the alleged Korean troops are an excuse.  The neoconservatives believe that Putin is nothing but hot air and that they can destabilize his regime by sending in missiles to kill Russians and destroy infrastructure all over Russia.  That Putin has been unwilling to use the available force that he has to end a conflict with a third world military with zero military technology of its own after three years suggests to the neoconservatives that Putin is so averse to war that he simply will not fight anything other than a limited military operation.  

The other explanation is that Putin is demonstrating to Washington that Russia, also, can bring in foreign resources to the conflict. The French send troops.  NATO sends “mercenaries.”  Washington provides weapons and people to operate them along with intelligence and targeting information.   If this is the explanation, assuming there actually are North Korean troops there, it shows that Putin has a defective understanding of the situation.

President Putin, you are at war.  You, Russia, China, and Iran are in the way of American hegemony.  American foreign policy has not repudiated the neoconservative doctrine that hegemony is the principle goal of US foreign policy. Therefore your support for peace negotiations is nonsensical.  Negotiations make no sense. They show you to be humanitarian but unrealistic.

Russia is in the way of Washington.  There can be no peace until Washington redefines its foreign policy goal, or Russia is broken up into its constituent parts.  While Putin speaks of peace negotiations with Ukraine, Washington is attempting to open a second front against Russia with a color revolution in Georgia.

Whatever peace deal Putin makes would have no more reality than the Minsk Agreement, Washington’s pledge not to move NATO one inch to the east, or any of the broken 20th century agreements.   Washington only respects force, and Russia has not demonstrated force.  Neither has China.  Neither has Iran.  The absence of countervailing power is building toward a major war.

Wikipedia Is Destroying Truth

Paul Craig Roberts

“Wikipedia Is Broken” — Elon Musk

https://www.rt.com/news/606733-wikipedia-broken-fascism-trump-musk/ 

Wikipedia is pure excrement.  Nothing it says can be trusted.  The reason is that anyone can use it to smear a person, totally misrepresent an event, falsify history, perpetrate lies.  Wikipedia is unvetted information.  The false idea behind it is that entries by experts implant the expert’s biases in the information, whereas open entry allows everyone to correct biases and move the entries toward truth.  The trouble with this supposition is that it assumes all are well meaning, but they are not.  My supporters found that every time they corrected a slur against me or a false accusation, the slur and accusation immediately reappeared.  In other words, to keep Wikipedia honest is a full time job.  The left-wing living off liberal foundations has endless time to corrupt entries in their war against those who do not share their destructive values and impulses.

The worst problem with Wikipedia is that it is free, whereas a real  encyclopedia is costly.  The consequence is that real reference works are dying.  Soon we won’t know anything.

People who donate to Wikipedia are destroying truth.

On November 5 the Decision Will Be Made between Freedom and Tyranny

Paul Craig Roberts

Democrats Continue to Block All Efforts to Restore Electoral Integrity.

Some Democrat courts rule contrary to the law on the books.

The Democrat Nevada Supreme Court ruled contrary to law that non-postmarked ballots that arrive 3 days after the election can be counted. This permits non-mailed mail-in ballots to be filled in after the vote count and used to reverse the electoral result.  The federal US Appeals Court for the fifth circuit ruled that the US Constitution requires ballots to be counted on election day.  The Democrats have declared the US Constitution to be a racist document that they will not abide by despite their oath of office to uphold the Constitution.

Democrat federal district courts required the state of Virginia to restore non-US citizens to its voter rolls. This allows the Democrats to vote the non-citizens. The Democrat Department of Justice (sic) required the state of Alabama to have non-US citizens on the state’s voter rolls. A federal judge dismissed the Republican attempt to have only US citizens on Michigan’s voter rolls.

The Democrat Pennsylvania supreme court illegally ruled that improperly cast mail-in ballots can be counted.

The Democrat district attorney in Philadelphia is suing Elon Musk in an effort to stop Musk’s support of the US Constitution.

Democrat states legalized street corner drop-in ballot boxes that permit anonymous individuals to stuff with fraudulent votes that the Democrats have ruled must be counted. 

O’Keefe Media Group reports that in totally corrupt Maricopa County, Arizona, Democrat election officials instructed poll watchers not to interfere with illegal ballot harvesting or to report any voting irregularities. 

American universities have produced a generation of Woke leftwing business leaders.  The consequence is that the business leaders are no longer Republican, and their money, especially that of billionaires, has gone to the Democrats.  The latest campaign filings  for the first half of October show that Kamala spent  $304.5 million on her election campaign which raised $295.3 million.  Trump came in with less than half of that. Trump raised $117 million and spent $143.7 million.

If these reported figures are correct and representative of the campaign, it means that American money is aligned with the revolutionary Democrat Party which intends to overthrow the Constitution and citizen rule.  Voters are committed differently, but the election is easily stolen from them. 

I agree with Elon Musk. If Trump does not regain office, America will never again experience a free election.  Voting will be used as a ratification for the one-party state.

November 5 is the day the decision is made between freedom and tyranny.  If tyranny wins, there will be no going back.

When Evil Is Allowed  In, Evil Stays

Paul Craig Roberts

On two previous occasions Israel sent its vaunted army into southern Lebanon only to be driven out by the Arab militia, Hezbollah, operating without tanks, without an air force, without air defense.   It appears that it has now happened again.  Israel has been stopped cold on the ground, causing the Israeli defense minister to announce an end to the ground operations.  The Israeli Army is only good at killing women and children from the air, as in Gaza.

Israel’s war against Hezbollah has been replaced with Israeli air strikes against civilian residential areas in Beirut, which provides more evidence that the only function of the Israeli military is to murder women and children from the air.  The obvious conclusion is that the Israeli military doesn’t fight; it commits war crimes against civilians.

The reason civilian neighborhoods in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon and not Hezbollah territory, are being destroyed from the air is that Iran and Russia permit it by not providing air defense systems to Lebanon.  

Iran and Russia are “maintaining peace” by permitting Israel to slaughter Lebanese women and children and destroy schools and hospitals from the air.  

It is a paradox that Washington, Putin, and Iran are equally indifferent to Israel’s slaughter from the air of civilians in Gaza and civilians in Lebanon. Any one of the three countries could stop the murder of civilians, but not one of them will do anything.

Putin has placed his bets on BRICS, but that is an economic organization that might or might not succeed.  Its success is handicapped by the fact that the Russian and Chinese economists are indoctrinated by the American neoliberals, and, therefore, are not merely worthless to their countries but positively harmful. 

If Washington wanted the Israelis’ murder of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians to stop, Washington would stop providing Israel with the weapons.  Clearly, Israel is doing what Washington wants.  But why do Russia and Iran want Palestinian and Lebanese civilians to be massacred when either country can stop it?  It is beginning to look as if it is not merely Washington and Israel that Satan has in his grasp, but Russia and Iran as well.

Every time Putin gets off-focused from Russia’s only threat–Washington–he finds himself with a mess on this hands.  With Putin focused on the Olympics in China, Washington sent the Georgian army into South Ossetia. With Putin focused on the Sochi Olympics, Washington overthrew the Ukrainian government and brought war to Russia.  Now Putin is focused on BRICS and Washington is stirring up a color revolution in Georgia to regain the former Russian province as another beached against Russia. The opposition parties and the President of Georgia do not accept the election results, which are favorable to Russia. See: https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/10/28/washington-brewing-more-trouble-for-russia/ 

I think that Putin by refusing to use power is losing credibility. I don’t think Putin understands the ideological character of the Democrat Party and the ideological woke liberal-left that controls it. If the Democrats manage to retain control over the government, I don’t think Putin is prepared for the consequences.  

Humankind, said T.S. Eliot, “cannot bear very much reality.”  That is as true of Russians as of Americans. Reality conflicts with hopes, aspirations, and plans, and when ignored upsets all of them.  Putin’s Ukraine conflict which has greatly widened, the brewing color revolution in Georgia supported by Washington, and Iran’s demonization and isolation are all self-inflicted  disasters caused by ignoring reality.

When powerful countries such as Russia, China, and Iran stand aside from genocide, they destroy their own reputations. The world is crying out for someone with the means to stand up for humanity, for justice, for truth, and there are no takers.

In Gaza children undergo amputations without anesthesia. The little water available is polluted. Everyone is sick. Washington keeps sending the weapons used from the air against purely civilian populations. Disease and starvation will finish the job for the Americans and the Israelis.  It is America that has enabled this genocide.

And Americans, in their insouciant existence, think they are the salt of the earth.

The Holocaust Narrative Is Protected but Apparently Unraveling

Paul Craig Roberts

Walt King documents in the  Unz Review, the inability of historians and chemists to find evidence that substantiates the Zionist narrative of the Holocaust.  https://www.unz.com/article/auschwitz-six-facts-and-seven-questions/ 

Apparently, there is scant  evidence  uncovered by any researcher that supports the Holocaust narrative.  Historians such as David Irving can document massacres of Jews, but they appear to be ad hoc operations, not an organized program.  As European historians are not permitted to investigate the Holocaust and report their findings, it is difficult to know whether the narrative is an imposition due to the ability of Zionists to weaponize European law or evidence-based.

The German military  in 1940 totaled 6 million, including army, air force, navy and Waffen-SS.  It required a vast military bureaucracy, enormous transportation facilities and fuel, enormous expense to move these troops.

It would have required an enormous bureaucracy, enormous transportation and fuel, and enormous expense to accumulate 6 million Jews from all over West and East Europe and the large area of Russia under German occupation, and send them to be exterminated at great energy cost and non-military use of soldiers greatly outnumbered on the Russian front.   The Germans had no such capability.  The Germans had to use horses to move their artillery. In the last month of 1941 and first month of 1942, the German Army lost 180,000 horses on the Russian front.  Wikipedia reports that “the German Army entered World War II with 514,000 horses, and over the course of the war employed, in total, 2.75 million horses and mules . . . Most of these horses were employed by foot infantry and horse-drawn artillery troops that formed the bulk of the German Army throughout the war.  Of 264 divisions active in November 1944, only 42 were armored or mechanized.” 

https://www.warhistoryonline.com/instant-articles/warhorses-of-germany-the-myth.html 

No sign of a Holocaust bureaucracy has ever been found.  Not a document, not a letterhead, not an order, not a uniform insignia, not a budget entry, not an appropriation.  Hitler repeatedly said “the Jewish question will be settled after the war.”

If the Holocaust narrative is true, investigation by historians would support the narrative.  By blocking investigation, Zionists show their lack of confidence in the narrative.

How America Was Destroyed

Hardly anything is left

Paul Craig Roberts 

Those who control the Democrat Party are concerned about Kamala’s election chances.  Little wonder.  She represents the most anti-American, anti-Constitution, anti-white, anti-peace regime in US history.  Top Democrats are concerned that Trump will not only take the swing states, despite the multiple theft mechanisms Democrats have in place, but also some blue states.  Polls are revealing that a majority of men of color see Trump as a leader of America and Kamala as a destroyer of America.  Those who control the Democrat party, most certainly not the people, are also disturbed by reports of the heavy early voting by Trump supporters.

Trump encouraged early voting, because in 2020 Democrats managed to prevent many Trump supporters from voting on election day.  The downside to early voting by Trump supporters is it gives Democrats an idea how many votes they have to steal in order to “win.”  It is a no-win situation for Trump supporters.  If you wait until election day, voting machine failure, closed precincts, and other excuses can be used to keep you from voting.  But if you vote early, you signal to the Democrats how many votes they have to steal.

They are well set up to steal them.  The Democrats in two swing states have already said that it will be days before they will have the vote count. These days are the time they need to produce the fraud that wins for them. A Democrat and a free election are mutually exclusionary. Arizona officials, for example, say it will take 2 weeks to tabulate the vote count. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/arizona-officials-it-will-take-nearly-2-weeks-to-tabulate-2024-election-in-maricopa-5746395?utm_source=RTNews&src_src=RTNews&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2024-10-23-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2024-10-23-3&utm_medium=email&utm_term=digital&est=AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAceE5JjMByMKG77wDxNBNQoYsGSf8AwYnR4TN9A%3D%3D 

The Democrats in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin say they are unable to declare election results for several days after the election. https://dailycaller.com/2024/10/25/election-results-possible-delay-2024/ 

Until 2020–the Big Steal–the US has not had a problem of producing a vote count on time.  Why do Americans accept the election theft implied by a delayed vote count with ballot boxes coming in by the truck loads long after voting is closed?

On October 14, I reported on this website that the Biden regime had issued one month before the presidential election a military directive 5240.01. The directive says the US military can be used to come to the aid of civilian police to quell domestic disturbance and can use lethal force against US citizens.  I provided a link to the directive. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/10/14/the-biden-regime-has-just-issued-a-very-suspicious-directive-permitting-military-intervention-in-us-domestic-affairs/ .  Fourteen days later I have seen no mention of this directive in the presstitute media.

Now ask yourself where the authority comes from for an executive branch cabinet department to overturn an act of Congress.  Where did the Biden regime Department of Defense get the authority to overturn American tradition and the Posse Comitatus Act? That there has been no protest against this illegal and unconstitutional Defense Department directive indicates how close the US is to a tyranny.

As we learned from the hoax “Jan 6 Insurrection,” it is a simple matter for those in authority to declare “insurrections.”  They can do it again.  It has now been admitted that 200 federal agents were at work on January 6 trying to orchestrate an insurrection.  Next time there will be 2,000.  As the Democrats are in power, they can create an “insurrection” prior to the vote count.  

I have noted that federal officials such as the Department of Justice (sic) and FBI have committed  felonies, as have top Democrats, and they can easily face arrests, indictments, and prison sentences for the felonies they committed.  They simply cannot permit Trump to regain the Presidency unless he agrees to give them a pass.  If he does that, he will not drain the swamp, and will come across to his supporters as just another fake. Deserted by supporters, he will be eliminated.

There is in addition to the DOD directive another suspicious development.

On November 5 there was scheduled to be a Homeland Security cyberattack simulation that could have melded into a real attack that prevented a vote count. Alerts given on alternative media of this scheme resulted in its postponement. 

The postponement was quickly replaced by a Ransomware attack Simulation on November 5  by Cybereason.  Cybereason is in international cybersecurity company founded by Lior Div Cohen, an expert hacker and former member of the Israeli Defense Forces in the cyber security unit 8200.  Dan Fournier explains here:  https://fournier.substack.com/p/national-cybersecurity-exercise-conveniently?open=false#§addendum-the-conference-is-now-postponed 

So, some of the swing states have said that election results will not be timely reported. When the results are misreported, the US military is there to use lethal force to suppress those who object. If Trump’s win is too lopsided to be subject to theft,  there can be a cybersecurity attach that prevents a vote count.  Putin and Trump can be blamed for an insurrection orchestrated by the FBI, and the Democrats will be declared by the American whore media as the winner.

This sounds far-fetched, but it isn’t.

The Democrat Party does not believe in the Constitution.  It does not believe in the country which it dismisses as racist. The Democrat Party is no longer a political party.  It is an ideological party dedicated to the elimination of merit and the imposition of DEI–Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.  The Democrats are totally committed to the demise of merit and its replacement with racial preferences.  Ever since Blumrosen at the EEOC stood the 1964 Civil Rights Act on its head and imposed the racial quotas  that the act strictly prohibited, equality before the law has been dying, year by year in the United States.

Today in America a white person especially if the person is heterosexual, is a second class citizen.  The 14th Amendment has been nullified by executive branch action. The 1st Amendment is in the crosshairs with Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, the Wall Street Journal editor, and numerous law school deans demanding its overthrow.

When they take away your free speech rights, truth is dead.

When truth cannot be spoken liberty is dead.

That is the future Democrats have for us.  A vote for a Democrat is a vote for your own slavery.
