The State Is Insane

by Paul Craig Roberts: What
Is the Government’s Agenda?



In the 21st
century the two hundred year-old propaganda that the American people
control their government has been completely shattered. Both the
Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakenly clear that the
American people don’t even influence, much less control, the
government. As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing
but chaff in the wind.

Polls demonstrate
that 65% of the US population opposes US intervention in Syria.
Despite this clear indication of the people’s will, the Obama
regime is ramping up a propaganda case for more arming of Washington’s
mercenaries sent to overthrow the secular Syrian government and
for a “no-fly zone” over Syria, which, if Libya is the
example, means US or NATO aircraft attacking the Syrian army on
the ground, thus serving as the air force of Washington’s imported
mercenaries, euphemistically called “the Syrian rebels.”

Washington
declared some time ago that the “red line” that would
bring Syria under Washington’s military attack was the Assad
government’s use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against
Washington’s mercenaries. Once this announcement was made,
everyone with a brain immediately knew that Washington would fabricate
false intelligence that Assad had used chemical weapons, just as
Washington presented to the United Nations the intentional lie via
Secretary of State Colin Powell that Saddam Hussein in Iraq had
dangerous weapons of mass destruction. Remember National Security
Advisor Condi Rice’s image of a “mushroom cloud over American
cities?” Propagandistic lies were Washington’s orders
of the day.

And they still
are. Now Washington has fabricated the false intelligence, and president
obama has announced it with a straight face, that Syria’s Assad
has used sarin gas on several occasions and that between 100 and
150 “of his own people,” a euphemism for the US supplied
foreign mercenaries, have been killed by the weapon of mass destruction.

Think about
that for a minute. As unfortunate as is any death from war, is 100-150
deaths “mass destruction?” According to low-ball estimates, the
US-sponsored foreign mercenary invasion of Syria has cost 93,000
lives, of which 150 deaths amounts to 0.0016.

In other words,
92,850 of the deaths did not cross the “red line.” But 150 did,
allegedly.

Yes, I know.
Washington’s position makes no sense. But when has it ever
made any sense?

Let’s
stretch our minds just a tiny bit farther. Assad knows about Washington’s
“red line.” It has been repeated over and over in order
to create in the minds of the distracted American public that there
is a real, valid reason for attacking Syria. Why would Assad use
the proscribed weapons of mass destruction in order to kill a measly
100-150 mercenaries when his army is mopping up the US mercenaries
without the use of gas and when Assad knows that the use of gas
brings in the US military against him?

As the Russian
government made clear, Washington’s accusation is not believable.
No informed person could possibly believe it. No doubt, many Americans
wearing patriotism on their sleeves will fall for Washington’s
latest lie, but no one else in the world will. Even Washington’s
NATO puppets calling for attacking Syria know that the justification
for the attack is a lie. For the NATO puppets, Washington’s
money overwhelms integrity, for which the rewards are low.

The Russians
certainly know that Washington is lying. The Russian Foreign Minister
Larov said: “The [Assad] government, as the opposition is saying
openly, is enjoying military success on the ground. The [Assad]
regime isn’t driven to the wall. What sense is there for the
regime to use chemical arms–especially in such small amounts.”

Larov is a
relatively civilized person in the role of Russia’s main diplomat.
However, other Russian officials can be more pointed in their dismissal
of Washington’s latest blatant lies. Yury Ushakov, an aide
to Russian President Putin said: “The Americans tried to present
us with information on the use of chemical weapons by the [Assad]
regime, but frankly we thought that it was not convincing. We wouldn’t
like to invoke references to [the infamous lies of] Secretary of
State Powell [at the UN alleging Iraqi WMD], but the facts don’t
look convincing in our eyes.” Aleksey Pushkov, the chairman
of the Russian Duma’s Foreign Affairs Committee, cut to the
chase. “The data about Assad’s use of chemical weapons
is fabricated by the same facility that made up the lies about Saddam
Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. Obama is walking George
W. Bush’s path.”

Here in America
no one will ever hear straight talk like this from the US presstitutes.

Orwellian double-speak
is now the language of the United States government. Secretary of
State john kerry condemned Assad for harming “peace talks”
while the US arms its Syrian mercenaries.

Washington’s
double-speak is now obvious to the world. Not only Assad, but also
the Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and every US puppet state which
includes all of NATO and Japan, are fully aware that Washington
is again lying through its teeth. The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians
are trying to avoid confrontation with Washington, as war with the
modern nuclear weapons would destroy all life on planet earth. What
is striking is that despite 24/7 brainwashing by the presstitutes,
a large majority of the American population opposes obama’s
war on Syria.

This is good
news. It means more Americans are developing the ability to think
independently of the lies Washington feeds to them.

What the neocon
nazis, the bush/obama regime, and the presstitute media have made
clear is that Washington is going to push its agenda of world hegemony
to the point of starting World War III, which, of course, means
the end of life on earth.

Russia and
China, either one of which can destroy the United States, have learned
that the US government is a liar and cannot be trusted. The Libyan
“no-fly” policy to which Russia and China agreed turned
out to be a NATO air attack on the Libyan army so that the CIA-sponsored
mercenaries could prevail.

Russia and
China, having learned their lesson, are protesting Washington’s
assault on Syria that Washington pretends is a “civil war.”
If Syria falls, Russia and China know that Iran is next.

Iran
is Russia’s underbelly, and for China Iran is 20% of its energy
imports. Both Russian and Chinese governments know that after Iran
falls, they are next. There is no other explanation for Washington
surrounding Russia with missile bases and surrounding China with
naval and air bases.

Both Russia
and China are now preparing for the war that they see as inevitable.
Washington’s crazed, demented drive for world hegemony is bringing
unsuspecting Americans up against two countries with hydrogen bombs
whose combined population is five times the US population. In such
a conflict everyone dies.

Considering
the utterly insane government ruling in Washington, if human life
exists in 2020, it will be a miracle. All the worry about future
Medicare and Social Security deficits is meaningless. There will
be no one here to collect the benefits.
