«Mund halten und Steuern zahlen, das sind die ersten Pflichten des Staatsbürgers. Die Mütter haben dann noch, wenn möglich, recht viele Kinder in die Welt zu setzen, damit der Staat ohne jede Verantwortung darüber frei verfügen kann und die heilige Staatsmedizin die nötigen Versuchskaninchen bekommt. Eine Mutter darf sich nur nicht einbilden, dass die Kinder ihr Eigentum sind.» (-Hugo Wegener)

The Ever Widening War
The Ever Widening War
Paul Craig Roberts
The Russian News Agency Tass reported on October 19: “France in discussion with partners about inviting Ukraine to NATO immediately.”
https://tass.com/world/1858603
This development which implies wider war is a consequence of Putin’s never ending war. Instead of reassuring the West and BRICS by limiting the scope of the conflict, Putin has caused consternation by the opportunity he provided Washington to ever widen the conflict. Who is going to back down? Russia or Washington?
There is reason to be concerned about Trump: “Trump claims he threatened Putin with strike on Moscow.” https://www.rt.com/news/606011-trump-threat-hit-putin-moscow/

The German government and legal system is so corrupt that Germany should be exiled from the Western world. How is Germany a free country when it kidnaps its own citizens, throws them in dungeons, and then looks for a reason for its illegal behavior? The German government is creating an image of itself with its persecution of Reiner Fuellmich as a reincarnation of Nazi Germany.
Here is Reiner Fuellmich’s latest report (October 15) on his barbaric prison treatment while the despicable government tries to concoct a fake case against him: https://t.me/ICICommittee/879
Fuellmich is a fighter and has not given in.
Fuellmich is a champion of those many who were injured and killed by the Covid vax. The German government acting as an agent for Big Pharma and the WEA is trying to destroy him.
Is Russia Finally Acknowledging Reality?
Is Russia Finally Acknowledging Reality?
Paul Craig Roberts
The Duran presented on October 17 an excellent discussion between John Helmer and Gilbert Doctorow moderated by Alexander Mercouris about how Russian military and civilian decisions are made. The knowledge I gained enables me to update my take on the situation, which I will now do.
The Ukrainian invasion of Kursk, which has been defeated, was a game changer and possibly will result in the termination of Ukraine as an independent country. The reason is that the invasion convinced the Russian public, the General Staff of the Russian military, and buttressed the case of Russian politicians that an independent Ukraine is inconsistent with Russian security.
Putin still says he is open to negotiations, but only if the other side acknowledges the reality on the ground, which Zelensky’s “Victory Plan” does not do. Zelensky says only nukes or NATO can save Ukraine. The Russians will not allow either.
If the Russian Army stops at the Dnieper River, that leaves western Ukraine as a US/NATO missile platform. Stopping at the Dnieper River leaves Putin no way to de-militarize and de-Nazify Ukraine. It would limit his declared goals only to preventing the Russian populations attached by Soviet leaders to Ukraine from being slaughtered by anti-Russian Ukrainian forces.
It seems that Putin overlooked that dispelling Ukrainian military forces from Donbas does not de-militarize Ukraine or prevent Ukraine from being a member of NATO. Putin will have reincorporated former Russian territory back into Russia, but western Ukraine would still be there as a platform for US nukes and from which to trade missile strikes with Russia as Israel and Iran are doing.
The question is whether Putin, who wants peace, will be content with liberating eastern and southern Russian territories of Ukraine, and, if so, whether the Russian public and the General Staff will permit him to leave a Ukrainian state in place or will they see a deal as merely kicking the can down the road.
There is also the question who Putin can negotiate with. Zelensky’s term as president has expired. On what authority is Zelensky still in charge? Putin cannot know whether a deal he makes with Zelensky will later be ruled illegitimate. One would think that Putin has learned from the Minsk Agreement, which was used to deceive him and to leave him unprepared for military action, and all Russian agreements with Washington–such as the promise that NATO will not move one inch to the East –that any agreement with Washington’s signature on it is worthless. So, how is it that Putin speaks of negotiations? Is Putin delusional and unable to learn from experience?
I see Putin as a successful leader. He has rescued Russia from demoralization from the Soviet collapse, which resulted in a once powerful state being dismembered, looted and embarrassed by its Jewish oligarchs and Washington.
Putin has rebuilt the Russian economy, despite Washington’s sanctions and Putin’s incompetent central bank director.
Putin has restored Russian pride, the Russian family, and civil morality.
He is a rare successful leader.
But as a war leader he has been Putin the Unready, caught off guard by the Georgian invasion of South Ossetia organized by Washington, by Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government, and by the West’s response to his Special Military Operation in Donbas. Putin has accepted insult after insult, provocation after provocation, thus ever-widening the conflict and inviting more conflicts elsewhere as in the Middle East.
It is unclear to me why Putin accepted Washington’s overthrow of the Ukrainian government. Did he simply lack the military resources to prevent it, or was he unable to understand what was happening? The conflict that occurred 8 years later was the consequence of Putin’s failure to read the writing on the wall.
Perhaps he was constrained by the treasonous class, the worshipers of the West, traitors I refer to as “Atlanticist Integrationists.” These traitors are now referred to in Russia as “the Fifth Column.” For the most part they are gone, except for the Russian central bank director, who continues to do Russia more harm than the West does.
I think the explanation of Putin’s behavior is that Putin understands that war between Washington and Russia means end times, and he wants to avoid that at all costs. Thus, his willingness to accept endless insults and provocations. But what Putin does not seem to understand is that Washington is relentless in its efforts to impose its agenda of Washington’s hegemony, and that Russia, China and Iran are obstacles in the way of this agenda and, therefore, are to be eliminated. Putin might regard such an agenda as preposterous, but it is nevertheless the agenda. Washington is yet to announce the abandonment of the Wolfowitz Doctrine of American hegemony and unilateralism. As long as this is Washington’s agenda, no understanding signed with Washington has any meaning. As long as Putin continues to accept Washington’s aggression, the aggression will continue.
Putin’s acceptance of provocations have gone so far that the West no longer believes his threats. Both the outgoing and incoming NATO Secretary Generals said that we need pay no attention to whatever Putin says as he never means it.
Did Putin understand that this was the price of endlessly accepting provocations? Did he understand that he was destroying the credibility of his warnings?
Putin, trying to avoid war, has repeated the same mistake in the Middle East.
I was heartened when suddenly Putin showed proactive capability and quickly moved the Russian Air Force into Syria, thus preventing the American war criminal, Obama, from invading Syria. I concluded, wrongly, that Russia had decided to bring Washington’s aggression to a halt. But it was only a one time deal.
Putin, trying to avoid war by leaving Syria, Iran, and Hezbollah without air protection, achieved the opposite–the onset of war. Now, according to reports, Putin is scrambling to get air protection to Iran before Israel blows up Iran’s peaceful nuclear reactors, thus spreading radiation over wide areas of Russia.
Putin and the Russian General Staff failed to comprehend what happens in the absence of countervailing power. The result is not a damper put on war but the outbreak of war, with Putin now having to issue hard warnings to Israel, warnings that might have no credibility in light of Putin’s past failure to enforce red lines.
Awareness is descending on Russia that the existence of Ukraine as an independent country is an existential threat to Russia. The liberation of Donbas does not demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine or replace Ukraine’s puppet government with an independent one.
Will the Russian public and the Russian General Staff permit Putin to agree to end the war simply on the basis of the liberation of Donbas, or will the Russian public and the General Staff insist that Ukraine’s existence is an existential threat to Russia’s existence and insist that the war continue until Ukraine is again a province of Russia?
The Russian Fifth Column is busy at work disputing Zbigniew Brzezinski’s conclusion that Russia cannot be a great power if Ukraine is not part of Russia’s sphere of influence. Will the General Staff and the Russian population agree with the Fifth Column or with Brzezinski? If they agree with Brzezinski, they will object to Putin merely kicking the can down the road with a peace deal. It will be unfortunate if Putin’s insistence on peace destabilizes Russia.

Is Putin the Chamberlain of Our Time?
Is Putin the Chamberlain of Our Time?
Paul Craig Roberts
Recently I asked a knowledgeable person about the absence of a Russian-Chinese-Iranian mutual defense treaty that would halt the move toward wider war in the Middle East. He said such a treaty was prevented by Chinese distrust of Russia and Russian distrust of Iran. It is extraordinary that distrust among obvious allies prevents the prevention of wider war that would become nuclear war.
It is extraordinary also that Putin doesn’t realize that his unwillingness or inability to act proactively has played into the hands of America’s hegemonic neoconservatives.
In Ukraine Putin’s pretense that he wasn’t really at war allowed the West to escalate the conflict until Putin had to warn NATO that it was on the verge of being at war with Russia.
In the Middle East, Putin withheld air defense systems and failed to protect the Muslims from air attacks, thus escalating the conflict. Apparently, Putin also caused Iran and Hezbollah to lose their strategic advantage by sitting on them, thus permitting Israel to decimate the Hezbollah leadership that twice repelled Israel’s attempted invasions of Lebanon.
Thinking about all the charges against Chamberlain for encouraging Hitler’s aggression, it was nothing compared to the US/NATO/Israeli aggression Putin has encouraged by doing nothing.
As I predicted he would, Putin found himself with his back to the wall in Ukraine and had to threaten the West with nuclear weapons. Hopefully, the West believes him, and, if not, that he doesn’t mean it.
Now Putin’s lack of proactive action finds him with his back to the wall also in the Middle East. If the reports below are correct, and I do not know that they are, Putin is forced to repair the damage resulting from his inaction by belatedly taking steps that the West will use to Russia’s propaganda disadvantage.
It is extraordinary that such a capable leader as Putin can be so inept in dealing with external threats.

It seems that under Trump’s appointee, Wray, the FBI is completely politicized. The agency is more dangerous to traditional white law and order conservatives than are criminals.
Elect Kamala and Install a Sociopath Regime
Elect Kamala and Install a Sociopath Regime
Glenn Greenwald — It’s Tuesday, October 15.
Tonight: Donald Trump gave a speech last week in which he denounced the warmongering of George Bush, Dick Cheney and Barack Obama as achieving nothing other than what he said was, quote, “leaving a bunch of dead people.” Meanwhile, Kamala Harris’s campaign apparently unsatisfied with continuing to drag around Dick and Liz Cheney, released a new ad featuring the wise words of John Bolton, the person who is almost certainly the most psychotic and unhinged warmonger to reach national office in the last several decades. Perhaps only John McCain and Lindsey Graham compete with him for that title. The Harris campaign continues to be shaped and driven by reliance on the support of some of the worst sociopaths of the D.C. swamp and the military-industrial complex. When one views the ideology and policies of the Democratic Party that all makes sense and we’ll examine all of that.
Then: Both public polls and campaign internal polls continue to show the worst nightmare possible for the Democratic Party and the Harris campaign, namely the ongoing migration of both Latino voters and even Black voters, primarily Black men away from the Democratic Party and toward Donald Trump. We’ve actually seen this trend for several years now, even as the national media spends every day calling Donald Trump a white supremacist, but it has intensified over the last year with more and more nonwhite voters, signifying that they don’t want to vote for the Democratic Party. While the Harris campaign reacts with desperate pandering or hectoring accusations of misogyny from Barack Obama, liberal media outlets like The New York Times do what they always do when they see nonwhite voters or other, quote-unquote, “marginalized groups” they believe they own failing to vote and think as they’re told to do, namely, they unleash deeply racist screeds, arguing that these nonwhite voters are not coming to their own conclusions because of their own faculties, but instead are being manipulated and hypnotized by much smarter and more conniving influencers. We’ll take a look at The New York Times latest attack, basically on the intelligence of nonwhite voters who refuse to do as they’re told.
And finally: Nick Cruse of the Revolutionary Black Out Network is one of the most vocal and incisive critics of the Democratic Party and its condescending tactics to deceive various groups of voters to believe that they’re on their side. He is a friend of the show, he’s been on before because of how great his commentary is, and he has a lot to say about Kamala’s latest, desperate last-minute pandering, including her brand new agenda for the Black man and the blatantly false gestures she and her campaign and followers are now making on Israel and Gaza. He’ll talk with us tonight about all of that and more.
For now, welcome to a new episode of System Update, starting right now.

How Do We Get Off the Road to Armageddon?
How Do We Get Off the Road to Armageddon?
Paul Craig Roberts
Two days ago on October 14 I posted my column about a new US Department of Defense Directive, 5240.01, that radically alters the relationship between the US military and American citizens. In the new directive issued one month prior to the election, the US military is authorized to intervene against American citizens and to use deadly force against Americans. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2024/10/14/the-biden-regime-has-just-issued-a-very-suspicious-directive-permitting-military-intervention-in-us-domestic-affairs/
I asked why such a drastic reformulation of long established policy unless the Democrats were setting up a coup in place of a lost election.
The dramatic change in policy requires more examination than my speculative question, but does not seem to be getting any attention.
One would think that those patriots who are convinced that the military will come forward at the last resort and save our freedoms should be alarmed by Department of Defense Directive 5240.01.
Those patriots who see Trump as America’s savior should be alarmed by his response. In a Fox Business interview on October 13, Trump was asked if he anticipated any chaos following the announcement of the election results. Trump said not from his supporters, a surprising statement if the Democrats steal the election. Trump thought that Kamala’s loss could result in disturbances from the woke left-wing, but “it should be very easily handled by, if necessary, by National Guard, or if really necessary, by the military.” So here we have it: Trump has bought into Directive 5240.01. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-says-his-supporters-wont-cause-election-chaos-5740625?autoemail=pcr3%40mac.com&utm_source=deployer&utm_medium=email&utm_content=&utm_campaign=new&utm_term=
Having accepted the directive, how can Trump complain if the directive is used against him?
It is only a few days before the presidential election and Trump seems again to be in the clutches of advisors composed of the ruling elites. Who are Trump’s advisors? Do they have any sense? Why is Trump aligned with Israel’s genocide of Palestine and attacks on Iran? Is Trump just another warmonger serving the military/security complex and Greater Israel?
Trump directs American hostility toward China, because of the lopsided trade deficit. But it was Wall Street that forced the offshoring of US manufacturing. The trade deficit results when the US corporations bring their offshored production home to America to sell. How can it be that Trump hasn’t a single advisor able to inform him of the real problem?
We have to be grateful for Trump. He realizes that America is in dire straits, and he alone has emerged as anyone willing to do anything about it. But Trump is a real estate developer. He does not know issues and their history. His first term proved him to be a poor judge of people as he appointed to his government the very people he had declared to overthrow, and they overthrew him. Judging by his positions on DOD 5240.01, China, Israel, he has learned nothing and has no better advisors.
In my opinion it is essential that Trump be elected, because it will give America four more years. But the result is unlikely to be renewal of our country. Simply, the can will be kicked down the road.
It is difficult to rouse the American people to the realities that they face. Americans are the most insouciant of all peoples. They exist surrounded by oceans and friendly countries devoid of military potential. Americans have ruled the world because World War II destroyed all rivals. Americans might be beginning an acquaintance with hardship, having lived on credit card and student loan debt, but despite the deceptions their government inflicts on them — 9/11, Muslim Terrorists and weapons of mass destruction, Covid pandemic, Russian invasion of Ukraine, Iranian nukes, Chinese threat, Trump insurrection, Putin’s resurrection of the Soviet Empire, the return of slavery by white supremacists– a large segment of the population still trusts the government that is destroying them.
So, what can be done?
How can an insouciant population deal with a ruling elite when the population doesn’t understand what is happening?
