Paul Craig Roberts has signed off, somewhat melodramatically, at a time when truth is needed. So he has been banned from main stream media; so what. Every truthsayer suffers thru history whether in the field of science or human rights. Some die for it. Look at what is happening to Martin Armstrong; is he “signing off”….no: he is smuggling out handwritten notes from solitary confinement.
Or is there more to this than meets the eye….when Max interviewed PCR recently it was clear he couldnt understand why PCR was being so reticent. Has someone got to PCR? Has he been threatened?

War, Racism and the Empire of Poverty
When Empire Hits Home, Part 1
by Andrew Gavin Marshall
http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=18263
”
This is worth repeating: the top 1% owns 40% of global assets; the top 10% owns 85% of world assets; and the bottom 50% owns 1% of global assets.
…
In 1995, “Federal Reserve research found that the wealth of the top one percent of Americans is greater than that of the bottom 95 percent.” Further, “Wealth projections through 1997 suggest that 86 percent of stock market gains between 1989 and 1997 went to the top ten percent of households while 42 percent went to the most well-to-do one percent.”[23]
…
It is to our own detriment that we fail to see the relationship between war and poverty both on a national and global level. War is the most violent and oppressive tool used by the powerful to control people and resources. The industry of war profits very few at the expense of the majority; it does not simply impoverish the nation that is attacked, but impoverishes the nation that is attacking.
…
The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous. Hierarchical society is only possible on the basis of poverty and ignorance. This new version is the past and no different past can ever have existed. In principle the war effort is always planned to keep society on the brink of starvation. The war is waged by the ruling group against its own subjects and its object is not the victory over either Eurasia or East Asia, but to keep the very structure of society intact.

Banks Buy Gold
…Central banks around the world added 425.4 metric tons of gold to their reserves last year, the biggest increase since 1964, according to the World Gold Council. That represents a 1.4 percent gain to put their holdings at 30,116.9 tons in total. The increase was the first since 1988. Central banks in India, Russia and China were among those boosting their gold reserves last year, as the precious metal jumped 24 percent, hitting a record of $1,226 an ounce in December. Central banks now possess 18 percent of all gold ever mined. “There’s clearly been a renaissance of gold in central bankers’ minds,” Nick Moore, an analyst at Royal Bank of Scotland, told Bloomberg. “It’s not just been central banks taking on gold, but a general shift for physical gold in the investment sector.” Many are now singing gold’s praises, with the precious metal up about 3 percent so far this year. “Gold is quietly, at the edge, becoming the world’s second reservable currency, supplanting the euro and rivaling the dollar,” money manager Dennis Gartman wrote in his Gartman Letter, obtained by Bloomberg. “The trend shall continue months, if not years, into the future.” – MoneyNews…

“Investors fear..” Use of the term “fiscal irresponsibility” is absurd. Completely absurd. Gangsters have utter control of the “markets” (Deep Capture). The banks are completely corrupt. Corporatism has reduced the “enlightened west” to a neo-feudal nightmare. Under those circumstances, “fiscal irresponsiblity” is nothing — absolutely nothing — but code for “fuck the workers, fuck the poor.. continue giving all the wealth to the miniscule few at the top of the pyramid”. Use of such Orwellian bullshit is both an intelligence test and a test of morality.. either one is an idiot or a swine. In some cases, one supposes, both. The very second I hear someone using those sorts of wingnut terms, the speaker is “plonked” into a sack marked “IGNORE”. In the context of today, using of such “motherhood” terms is in the same class as mutterings about “the Rapture” and “the Reptilians” and “UFOs” and.. etc.

An unprecedented 9.6 trillion yuan of new loans last year to industries from railways to real estate likely helped ICBC and Construction bank beat Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s profit of $13.4 billion.”

@ronron:
“Today, Americans are ruled by propaganda. Americans have little regard for truth, little access to it, and little ability to recognize it.”
Roberts indicated that he worked for Goldman Sachs when he was Assistant Treasury Secretary. Does that mean the Treasury Dept. is only a front for Goldman Sachs, ronron? Is that the truth? If we ‘recognize’ what Robert’s declares true, will it mean that the whole movement by Ellen Brown/Still/et.al. to disband the Federal Reserve and allow the Treasury, er Goldman Sachs, to coin our domestic currency is fallacious? Are we in danger of delivering our monetary policy to GOLDMAN SACHS?!!!
Or is the truer version of the story that the IMF wants to regulate our exchange rate function over our exports through some global regulator that will do away with dollar value/exchange/forex as we know it. The story being bantered about is a way to deceive the people into accepting the loss of any tie to export profit and to continue milking of the people by the ‘monetary authorities’. The issuance of a ‘national greenback’ will be under the control and profit of the usual suspects: and will not be in favor of the advancement of the people’s freedom.
Well? I mean, Roberts is holding the beacon torch for truth. But the truth coming out of the ‘patriot movement’ is not only inconsistent: it’s dangerous.
So, Greece gets bailed out. How will the hedge funds react to that?
And Goldman Sachs, Goldman is a powerhouse with connections all around the world as with top politicians gaining connections all around as well, it is a symbiotic relationship. JPM hires Tony Blair for his connections, China hires Goldman for their connections and so the story goes.
The magic of 51%
Don’t seem to be needing a voting machine to come up with that result… The Iraq election which occurred March 7 estimates 95 percent of the votes as been counted so far and only 11.000 votes separates the Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki from CIA friend and opponent Iyad Allawi where the difference is in favor of Iyad Allawi so far . . . but who cares, both are America friendly puppets right?

“The American corporate media does not serve the truth. It serves the government and the interest groups that empower the government.”
The government is a mole for Goldman Sachs according to Roberts. Isn’t that a bit of a fabrication? Doesn’t Goldman work hedge for both Germany and the US? The Council of Europe supports consistently the continuance of a voluntary coalition of the willing in wars for industrial profit and future colonization through NATO trans-atlantic alliance with the US force:
http://www.nato.int/docu/speech/2005/s050623b.htm
Why does Roberts ignore the G20 sovereign banks in his diatribe concerning truth? Why does he vaunt the Council of Europe and denigrate the American government?
Is Roberts unaware of what is going on in reality? Is he telling “the truth”?

Would you have liked Roberts is he said, “Canadians have little regard for truth,” ronron?
Why has this suddenly become an axiomatic declaration?
Who is the tome-holder of truth?
Certainly not Roberts. No one may hold “truth”, but one may have REGARD for it. (I personally don’t believe in one reticent pool of facts/dividends/attributes squired to a peg called truth). I maintain that truth is only the concensus of opinion or perpective.
But to say we have not regard for truth is to paint us amoral.

@ronron,..When you’re confused bud’,.always remember these words:
The aide said that guys like me were “in what we call the reality-based community,” which he defined as people who “believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality.” … “That’s not the way the world really works anymore,” he continued. “We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors…and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.”

Naturally, the educated man does not believe in propaganda; he shrugs and is convinced that propaganda has no effect on him. This is, in fact, one of his great weaknesses, and propagandists are well aware that in order to reach someone, one must first convince him that propaganda is ineffectual and not very clever. Because he is convinced of his own superiority, the intellectual is much more vulnerable than anybody else to this maneuver…

Roberts is promoting a new reserve system in his writing. That was the positive note clinker for the Council of Europe.
Now it seems we are moving with rapidity towards the day of the new reserve system. And Roberts claims we as Americans do not have regard for the truth. And then he enables the blanket of deception to continue over America as a means to enable the transfer of propriety over the reserve currency from the Fed to the IMF/BIS/?central bank regulator.
The hypocrisy of the entirety of his agenda is boggling. And his call to truth as some sort of enabling sword is nauseating.

@ snoot, Roberts can be criticized for a multitude of things those of us on the left find some of the History he cites (reworking the Reagan years and the Cold War) to be dubious as the editors of Counterpunch have pointed out on a couple of the articles they carried of his….so you criticism of his support of a new reserve currency is valid. His comments of Americans not believing in truth or whatever nonsense was just lazy writing…and unless you wish to spend all of your postings to correct every universal statement made by every writer or speaker I fail to see the point

But the story Kahneman recalls when asked about the economic models at the root of the current financial crisis is actually taken from history, not an experiment. It concerns a group of Swiss soldiers who set out on a long navigation exercise in the Alps. The weather was severe and they got lost. After several days, with their desperation mounting, one of the men suddenly realized he had a map of the region.
They followed the map and managed to reach a town. When they returned to base and their commanding officer asked how they had made their way back, they replied, “We suddenly found a map.” The officer looked at the map and said, “You found a map, all right, but it’s not of the Alps, it’s of the Pyrenees.”

It reports that a third of Iranians have internet access and the number of Twitter users in the country during last June’s unrest amounted to just 0.082 per cent of the population. “It’s clear that its influence in co-ordinating a serious challenge to a powerfully entrenched regime was wildly overstated,” the report notes. — The idea that Iran was undergoing a Twitter Revolution incorrectly characterised and even trivialised what happened last summer, says Parvin Ardalan, a leading Iranian women’s rights activist who attended the protests. “It was much deeper and wider than that. It involved people from every level of society,” she argues, adding that the focus on Twitter, Facebook and other social media helped bolster the Iranian regime’s claims that the protests were part of a western conspiracy to destabilise the country.’
The revolution was not tweeted

You guys read this book??
The Oil Card
Global Economic Warfare in the 21st Century
By James R. Norman
Challenging the conventional wisdom behind oil pricing, this compact book sheds an entirely new light on the workings of “free” commodity markets and oil industry supply and demand “fundamentals.” Its purpose is to look at the use of oil as an economic weapon.
The book assembles a now well-documented chronology of how the US and its allies, including Saudi Arabia, pushed down oil prices dramatically in the 1980s, and kept them low for a decade. It was a concerted and stunningly successful effort to break the former Soviet Union by depriving it of desperately needed hard-currency income.
It then raises the question whether those same price-control levers have lately been pushed in the opposite direction to rein in another target: the oil-short Peoples Republic of China. Contrary to popular perceptions, media commentary and official explanations, the book methodically lays out the geopolitical logic and the market mechanisms behind the stunning 12-fold run-up of oil prices from 1998 to mid-2008. It also offers an explanation for the sudden price drop from almost $150/barrel to under $100 as Russia again flexed its muscle by invading Georgia.

@Adam C – thanks for that link re: The Revolution Was Not Tweeted; I still have all sorts of video screen capture files I haven’t yet had a chance to post yet, but it was VERY clear that the Twitter revolution was totally fabricated and yes it is sad that real dissent was then lost and de-legitimized in the process

“The main lure is advisory work for the Polish government, which plans to sell stakes this year in its energy, insurance, chemical and phone companies to raise $10 billion to finance the widening budget deficit. The economy, the only one in the European Union to avoid a recession, and the Warsaw Stock Exchange, where the total value of listed companies has tripled since 2003, are also attractive, bankers said.”

@ronron – It is one of those “false confirmation” stories. The ABCnyheter.no site is basically reposting Julian Assange’s letter in Norwegian. Julian Assange says in his letter that he was followed and photographed in his stay at Iceland last week by both Icelandic police and US department of state and the news site is just repeating what he has written in the e-mail to them, and that is not a confirmation of his story.
This is something of a Jibber Jabber piece

Wow, IMF rejects gold purchasers
In an exclusive report, Kitco has just released yet another stunner in the world of precious metals. It turns out that Eric Sprott has attempted to purchase gold from the IMF, according to information provided to Kitco by Frank Holmes, CEO of US Global Investors. “I just spoke with Eric Sprott, who bid to buy [the IMF's remaining gold on the block] and they refuse to sell it.” As Kitco points out, “the IMF might be holding out for a bigger buyer or a central bank or for higher prices. But Holmes argues the IMF’s rejection of Sprott’s bid means markets are being manipulated.”

@WL … Why ?
I guess they have to find it first !
Actually, I think they’d just prefer to “write a storage note” .. and they guess ( probably quite rightly ) that Sprott wants physical delivery !
LOL !
Yes, Sprott has called their bluff…

Israel is playing with fire. If ever USA gets mad, or desintegrates, and dumps Israel, this country will implode. What’s the problem with this right wing extremist, this “Nathan-Yahoo” ? He doesn’t get it.
Israel is a small fragment of the empire. If ever USA implodes, Israel will have to fend for itself and it will be dramatic indeed for the israeli people. Stupid right wing fascist fron the Likoud. He doesn’t still gets it. They really don’t understand in Israel that their ally, the US Empire is on fire and sinking like the Titanic. There is like in Israel a total lack of political common sense.
