"In the West truth is dying" - Paul Craig Roberts

This article of Paul Craig Roberts strongly resonated with me. Truth is a major victim under the Corporate State - as is common sense and a moral compass.

I liked that the author did not have an opinion about Guy McPherson but he does about Truth and how it is stymied and attacked.

Thinking Is An Expensive Occupation
Paul Craig Roberts


12 December, 2014


Raising unsettling questions and providing disturbing explanations seldom meet with accolades. For example, Guy McPherson is a University of Arizona scientist who has been studying human disruption of the environment and climate for 30 years. Many human caused disruptions have developed into local or regional disasters, but now the question is whether the planet itself is endangered. Is human activity bringing about human extinction?

This is not a welcome question, and those who explore it are branded as “controversial.”

Dahr Jamail interviewed Professor McPherson and asked him: “What do you say to people who call you extreme for talking about this?”

Professor McPherson answers: “I’m just reporting the results from other scientists. Nearly all of these results are published in established literature. I don’t think anybody is taking issue with NASA or Nature, or Science, or the Proceedings of National Sciences . . . the others I report are reasonably well-known and come from legitimate sources like NOAA [National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration], other NASA sources etc. . . . I’m not making this information up. I’m just connecting a couple of dots, and it’s something many people have difficulty with.”

In the West truth is dying, because anyone who departs from the official line is branded “controversial.” In other words, truth or the search for it is controversial. People who persist in chasing after truth or alternative explanations to the official line are discredited by those who are not served by the truth or alternative explanations. Whistleblowers, once protected by federal law, have been turned into traitors.

I have no position on the causes of climate change or Professor McPherson’s prognosis.

My point isn’t that he or the experts he cites are correct. The point is that talking about what is possibly a serious problem is stymied by name-calling and shooting the messenger.

I experience it all the time. For example, on December 3 in the London Telegraph, a reporter, Hamish MacDonald said that I am “controversial” for raising questions about “the US government’s reaction to the spread of the [ebola] virus” and for “questioning the official story of the September 11 terrorist attacks.” In other words, believe the official line because independent thinking is “controversial.”

It seems odd that a British reporter would settle on his own on me and on University of Illinois law professor Francis Boyle as examples of controversial bloggers. Perhaps he was handed the story by the CIA, as German journalist Udo Ulfkotte confesses he often was.

The absence of thought is how humanity walks into armageddon. But we mustn’t think or we are controversial. Not only must we not think, we must not report on the thinking of others. Like Professor McPherson who is “just reporting the results from other scientists,” I made myself “controversial” by merely reporting the findings of architects, engineers, physicists, chemists, first responders, pilots, and former high government officials concerning the destruction of three WTC skyscrapers and difficult flight maneuvers by inexperienced pilots. We are supposed instead to dismiss these thousands of experts and their professional experience as “conspiracy kooks” or worse. Remember, British prime minister David Cameron declared skeptics of the 9/11 official line to be as dangerous as Islamic State terrorists. http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2014/09/29/guest-column-peter-drew-cameron-tries-protect-us-uk-governments-truth/

In other words, it is controversial to report that a team of scientists led by a professor of nano-chemistry at the University of Copenhagen found reacted and unreacted nano-thermite in the dust of the destroyed skyscrapers and that Building 7 fell at free fall acceleration, hitherto associated only with controlled demolition.

I am certainly skeptical of the official explanation of 9/11. As a former government official, I find it difficult to believe that a few young Saudi Arabians operating without the benefit of an intelligence service could outwit the entire National Security apparatus of the Western world. Moreover, if such an implausible event occurred, there would have been demands from the White House and Congress for a thorough investigation of the failure. Instead, the White House resisted any investigation, and in place of an investigation, a political committee wrote down the government’s story as the unexamined truth. This is not a believable response to such a humiliating blow suffered by “the world’s only superpower.” Why is it controversial to make this point?

A spoon-fed, no-think society has been created for us, and no one is supposed to think. Reminds me of a science fiction story I read many years ago in which at some point in their development children were tested for the thinking gene. If they had it, they were put down in order to protect the society from dangerous thoughts.

Drawing on my education and experience, I look beyond the propaganda for the real explanations. I might not always be correct, but my inquiries are not agenda-driven in behalf of some interest or the other, whether material or ideological. In order to continue, I need your support. I am constantly attacked by trolls and Reagan-haters, and if the Western intelligence services are at work presenting me as a target for establishment-tamed journalists, trying to wake up an insouciant people is not a pleasant task.

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal. He was columnist for Business Week, Scripps Howard News Service, and Creators Syndicate. He has had many university appointments. His internet columns have attracted a worldwide following. Roberts’ latest books are The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism and Economic Dissolution of the West and How America Was Lost.

  1. If Zionist/Israeli propaganda can successfuly bamboozle most of the "believing" world into accepting the gas chamber & ovens hoax as both infallible religion & documented history; climate change denial is just another easy game to play.

    If Zionist/Israeli political power can legislate criminal laws in France, Germany, Belgium, Austria, Australia, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Poland, etc. making questioning the Holohoax into a criminal offense & jail innocent people for simply questioning it; should we be surprised at any modern propaganda success?

    I can question the infallibility of the Bible without fear of jail; but I cannot raise even the slightest doubt about the gas chambers & ovens?

    Voltaire's principle; "I disagree with what you say; but I will defend to the death your right to say it," DOES NOT APPLY TO THE REVEALED HOLOCAUST RELIGION?

    There is NO dispute that horrendous concentration camps existed.
    There is NO dispute that incarcerated Jewish people suffered miseries unto death, mostly from Typhus

    The DISPUTE is about the alleged gas chambers & ovens used by the National Socialists & German Military to murder 6 million Jews.

    Holocaust historian, Norman Finkelstein, knows the truth from his own parents, who were concentration camp inmates.

    Finkelstein’s brilliant documentary book, THE HOLOCAUST INDUSTRY, tells a truthful tale of the gas chamber hoax maliciously engineered to justify Israel’s vicious & unrelenting genocide & land theft against the innocent Palestinian People.

    French revisionist scholar, Robert Faurisson, has completely exposed the Zionist Holocaust Hoax.

    If such a gigantic genocide by the gassing & burning of SIX MILLION JEWISH PEOPLE was committed by the German National Socialist Government, there MUST be overwhelming scientific, empirical, material & physical evidence to substantiate it.

    IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR SUCH PHYSICAL & MATERIAL GASSING & BURNING OF SIX MILLION HUMAN BODIES WITHOUT GIGANTIC AMOUNTS OF PHYSICAL & MATERIAL EVIDENCE.

    It is claimed that the retreating German Army successfully destroyed every shred & trace of the “original” gas chambers, including the concrete foundations at Auschwitz, Dachau, & all other so-called "death camps."

    No physical or material evidence of any gas chambers was ever observed or found at Auschwitz, Dachau, Treblinka, or any so-called "concentration camp."

    Aerial photographs of the Auschwitz Camp taken for years do NOT show any alleged gas chamber buildings or evidence of blown-up gas chamber structures.

    Not ONE building or structure used as a gas chamber has ever been identified or documented.

    The gas chamber & oven exhibit at Auschwitz is a RE-CREATION, & has been thoroughly debunked by impeccable forensic analysis.

    Steven Spielberg’s preposterously fraudulent films ARE NOT EVIDENCE of anything, except Spielberg’s conscious & willful Zionist/Israeli lying.

    The BLOCKBUSTER film, “Schindler’s List,” is based on a fictional novel.

    There are more than 240 so-called Holocaust museums from Auschwitz to Berlin to Paris to Los Angeles to Washington,D.C. marketing ANECDOTAL PERSONAL ACCOUNTS OF GAS CHAMBERS & HORRENDOUS GENOCIDE against Jews.










    If such confirming material & physical evidence exists, why not simply present it? & end the dispute.

    Such evidence cannot be presented because such confirming material & physical evidence does NOT exist, period.

    The HOLOCAUST is now a "revealed" worldwide religion complete with sacred shrines, 240 museums, & infallible ideology.
