Washington Is Insane

Washington Is Insane

By Paul Craig Roberts

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.
