Paul Craig Roberts on Iraq and Afghanistan wars

[Saywhatyoumust]

This is the Bilderberg Group at work.

the "lawless one"

[ProsperityGlobal]

The US Elite want a Global War with Russia and China, I sometimes wish they would just get it over with.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

By any sensible measure and through any meaningful analysis, the US has fallen victim to very clever and powerful forces that dictate events from the shadows. And they have no intention of leaving any matters of substance to the common voter.

With a sufficient portion of our "elected leadership" bribed and coerced, the hidden agendas move forward.

"American democracy" is a shameful hoax and fraud of enormous scale - merely a disguise that our elite overlords hide behind.

[saynotonontruth]

They're not MY "overlords" - they might be yours, but they are not mine. I'm a sovereign individual and I answer to no one. As far as "hiding", they ain't much hiding going on EVERYBODY KNOWS THE TRUTH !

Bush and Cheney and that dirty little nazi who never showed up for his indictment by Congress - what's his name? - are all guilty of high crimes and treason - fraud perpetrated to start false GENOCIDAL WAR.

I read Cheney and Bush are afraid to leave the country lest they be arrested.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Good for you, on that "sovereignty" matter - and for not having to conduct your affairs with US treasury notes, (money), digital funds, nor paying US federal or state taxes.

And if "my overlords" and their agencies wish to make a case of the later, the "overlords" can have their way with you.

"Karl Rove" is likely the dirty little Nazi to whom you refer. And I couldn't agree more - also regarding the genocidal war.

Our "democracy" is but a carefully disguised corporatocracy, it's really true.

[salekh01]

Kill every jew and the muslims become catholics or christians. Stop toying with them and do it now! before its too late! it doesnt matter if you have start from scratch.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Yeah, that's a perfectly reasonable solution.

And if the extermination squads happen to find Jewish or Arab blood in your family tree, to whom will they send the bill for the bullet they put into your brain?

[salekh01]

KEEP THEM, BUT GET RID OF THOSE

[salekh01]

I guess your one of them.

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Brilliant, pithy retort -- ladened with insight and meaning.

[salekh01]

I am an actor

[MichaelRMcCoy]

disguised in daily life as a waiter, I imagine.

[salekh01]

many things

[salekh01]

not really , perhaps a blind man

[MichaelRMcCoy]

Simply a well-honed ability to separate wheat from chaff.

[salekh01]

or a disabeld

[gizmo2084]

Does anyone know the name of the legal counsel author that Roberts it taking about? i want to check out his book.

[saynotonontruth]

To RealNews: It's DR. Paul Craig Roberts. He's a PhD.

Good programs, RealNews. Thanks.

[Justinillusion8]

The truth is, no war effort should be supported. War historicly makes the wealthy even wealthier and the working class and poor are the ones that suffer on both sides of the conflict.

[scottgarren]

True. Bush was aggressive about an age old agenda of a New World Order and puppet Obama carries the torch with a new face.

[salekh01]

that nigger! lol

[Antiks72]

Yep, Bush and Cheney pushed the boundaries and were blatant about their violations. The Obama administration has taken note, and kept a lot of things in place. The Bush administration has set a precedent for presidential power.

[KatieRNBSN]

99.9% of Americans can't get over the idiocracy of the 9/11 conspiracy theorists. Because of this rational comment please do not attempt to explain now you're irrational thinking....Thank you

[YankeeClippa]

9/11 was a controlled demolition.. Fake attack on the Pentagon and a non crash in Pa. The conspiracy is the Gov't version.

[saynotonontruth]

@KatieRNBSN "It's not a conspiracy if it's fact and truth." The majority of americans think (and know) that 9/11 was perpetrated by the govt or insiders.

It's patently obvious. Anytime you hear the words "conspiracy theory" it's the govt trying to allay blame - away from itself. Govt is a culpable criminal, populated by criminals in genocide, sociopathy, psychopathy. War criminals, fraud (a felony in many cases), murder, theft, intentional deception.

Katie must be a govt shill.

[KatieRNBSN]

I support our war efforts however am not close minded and would be interested to know more about the pipeline Dr. Roberts discussed.

[justaoldslave]

Thanks Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, I personally want to say thank you. Your honesty is refreshing. I think we will have to start with building free press in the U.S. if we want any real change.

[iwantgmail]

In an age where you can conveniently find almost any piece of information, thanks to the Internet; It surprises me that people still rely upon a handful of people in the media to do their thinking for them.

For those who think that 9/11 was not an inside job, just write "WTC 7" on google videos, look at the collapse and tell me that it was not a controlled demolition!! Let's stop beating around the bush and call a spade a spade. 9/11 was an inside job.

[audas]

The truth is in the the fact that Obama did not prosecute.

The truth is the Bosh is a war crim.

[911truthncDotOrg]

Funny, 9/11 Truth is put on the table. Paul Jay ends the interview Quickly! HINT HINT!!

[stjimmy933499399493]

sigh. . . truthers

War profits

I remember i posted here, its gone now

War profits

[PersianPaladin]

Go to googlevideo and type "9/11 Press For Truth".

[USPrivate1991]

How do people figure 9/11 was inside ?

[PersianPaladin]

Exposed the 9/11 cover-up. We don't KNOW it was an inside-job, but the top-level elements of the US government have EARNED the title of suspect with regards to 9/11. They have repeatedly facilitated the success of the attacks by blocking investigations, silencing whistleblowers, etc.

Architects & Engineers For 9/11 Truth

ae911truth org

Forensic science is our witness. If we could EVER get a REAL investigation and NOT another cover up!

When has the US government been truthful about ANYTHING!

[55ella2007k]

Roberts is right: it sets a precedence for impunity + absolute lack of accountability, not terms of wrong decisions, but in terms of CRIMINAL actions. You cannot change the future without ignoring the past - but then again, perhaps this IS the exact intention: cementing impunity into place.

[jellybean2626]

nice interview Paul

cheers

[777CARL777]

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB!!!!

Hey, Paul Jay, why can't you investigate 9/11 with some journalistic integrety & you call yourself "Real" news???

[jperryam]

Major kudos to Paul Craig Roberts for telling it like it is. This country desperately needs more people like him.

[911PLANET]

Paul Jay is still too nervous about asking a direct question of his guest concerning the fact that 9/11 was an inside job. At least he let Roberts deliver his opinion reminding us the government lied about so many things about the war...why not 9/11?

[Alexander021]

All of americas gun-toting religious nuts should stand up against these retards.

[InTheSticks1881]

How can anyone not respect Mr. Roberts.

The man is brave to tell it like he sees it. I'm hearing more and more like him agree.

"I can't think of anything worse than to establish legally that the rulers are not subject to law."

I can. What's worse is for the leaders to financially bankrupt the Nation and then hand over control to the New World Order.

[tmcthree]

Oh dear, he sounded unfortunately like a "911 truther", towards the end...shame.

[sirellyn]

I find it just as irresponsible for blindly accept government findings on facts for 911 as subprime bankers blindly accepting loans that can't be paid.

There's a lot of very good questions about 911 that have not been answered, or answered well at all.

This may just be a fault of communication. But even in that case, there's not even an effort to supply good correction. On something THAT important.

Small wonder it feels like a kids oral presentation on a book they didn't read.

[VexRiot]

Possible edit at 9:37

Great ending. The 9/11 attacks are still being used to justify this war. I think Obama did so in his Afghan-surge speech. The 9/11 attacks were a false flag operation.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

No not really. Obama just realizes that to achieve peace we must use war. what a brave man who is willing to sacrifice for world peace.

[RCinPAWA]

Enlist.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

fuck no. that sacrifice must be made by low income people so we can keep the population under control and stimulate the economy.

[RCinPAWA]

Oh, sarcasm. My bad.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

no i am serious. i am an International Socialist. now that we have the white house the fourth reich will reign supreme. you may not have heard of the International Socialist movement. we are Nazis but not traditional Nazis. we do not see any one particular race as being more worthless than the other. we see all human life as having very little worth. the end result will the the evolution of mankind into a higher species.

[ruderevival]

haha very funny

[blackiron60]

Stop your bullshit! No real socialist would say what you say! The progressive advancement of human life means everything, it is worth everything, and untold thousands of socialists have given their lives to defend human life against the fascists, against the nazis, against the conservative reactionaries and the liberal hypocrits.  Remember that it was a red flag that was hoisted over Berlin when Nazism was vanquished. In short, shut the fuck up.

[RoyalDemonforChrist]

ok what is your point? socialists are dupes and always end up supporting fascists. maybe i am a fascist but all the ignorant american socialists dont knwo that. they will support fascism blindly because it has a happy socialist face. fuck them. 300 million dead for a Utopian world society is an easy sacrifice.

[jfcrow1]

Paul Craig Roberts is my Hero.

[kingbravewisdom]

Bloody hell

How greedy are these people?

Now they are gonna start new wars in pakistan and iran for oil

[GlobVetus]

hot potato .obviously. at the end.

but true

[phfrankh]

Going out on a limb, is it possible that Iraq were sold "weapons of mass dystruction" & that is why the "Governments" new they had them and wanted them back. but, the weapons were moved, perhaps, to a different country. Thats why maybe no weapons were found. Maybe there in Iran now ...or so they think.

Just speculating.

Also, was not the 4th ammendment put into the constitution in the event, of a Government turneing on it's own citizen's

[flyhead2]

If my auntie had balls she'd be my uncle.

I'm sorry but you aren't simply out on a limb, you're hitting your head on every branch as you fall out of the tree.

[phfrankh]

Ouch! ouh! doe! Well, anything is possible

when it comes to our Leaders!

[erwickline]

AWESOME, thx PCR for the no bs information.

We should listen to our elders. Especially the sane ones.

[anotherising]

I belive so manny troops is in afghanistan because it borders Iran and Pakistan, they just need a little even't and woop one more nasty war, and there goes more war profits, ofcause unless the US has a revolution first and overthrows the ''GOV'' but it really dosen't matter because the ''GOV'' is controlled by a third party, its so...i don't even know the words

[flyhead2]

Holy crap, I never expected Roberts to say what everybody knows, a real bombshell.

[hamletundone]

foul deeds will rise though all the earth o'erwhelm them to men's eyes

[flyhead2]

Reagan was a pretty sociopathic gangster choirboy too, but he never won a peace-prize.

[ZedAlfa273]

At 3:41, what does the American Media cover?

Everything except that which is relevant.

Google Search: "935 False Statements"

Was'nt much American Media coverage of that either.

And how about Cheney's admission of the fact that her ordered the CIA to lie to the House?

How much coverage of this has there been in the American Media?

The fox is guarding the hen house...America has become a failed state.

Good luck everyone.

[flimflamman]

We know why Iraq was invaded, as Fritz Hollings said, 'We invaded Iraq to secure Israel, and everyone knows it'.

[agitcam]

The hypocrisy of the leaders of the U.S. both presently and in the recent past is monumental. Obama is continuing to follow the path of Imperialism which is the path to destruction.
