Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
Bannon is correct that the US media—indeed, the entire Western print and TV media—is nothing but a propaganda machine for the ruling elite. The presstitutes are devoid of integrity, moral conscience, and respect for truth. https://www.rt.com/usa/375271-bannon-trump-media-cnn/ Read the comments in which morons define freedom of the press as the freedom to lie to the public.
Who else but the despicable Western media justified the enormous war crimes committed against millions of peoples by the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes in nine countries—Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Palestine, and the Russian areas of Ukraine?
Who else but the despicable Western media justified the domestic police states that have been erected in the Western world in the name of the “war on terror”?

Along with the war criminals that comprised the Clinton, Bush, and Obama regimes, the Western media should be tried for their complicity in the massive crimes against humanity.
The Western media’s effort to sustain the high level of tension between the West and Russia is a danger to all mankind, a direct threat to life on earth. Gorbachev’s warnings are correct. http://time.com/4645442/gorbachev-putin-trump/?xid=time_socialflow_facebook Yet presstitutes declare that if Trump lifts the sanctions it proves that Trump is a Russian agent. It is paradoxical that the Democrats and the liberal-progressive-left are mobilizing the anti-war movement to oppose Trump’s anti-war policy!
By refusing to acknowledge and to apologize for its lies, euphemistically called “fake news,” the Western media has failed humanity in a number of other ways. For example, by consciously telling lies, the media has legitimized the suborning of perjury and false testimony used to convict innocent defendants (such as Walter McMillian in Bryan Stevenson’s Just Mercy) in America’s “justice” system, which has about the same relation to justice as genocide has to mercy. If the media can lie about world events, police and prosecutors can lie about crimes.
By taking the role of the political opposition to Trump, the media has discredited itself as an honest critic on topics where Trump needs criticism, such as the environment and his tolerance of oppressive methods used by police. The presstitutes have ended all chance of improving Trump’s performance with reports and criticism.
Trump needs moderating on the environment, on the police, and on the war on terror. Trump needs to understand that “the Muslim threat” is a hoax created by the neoconservatives and the military/security complex with the complicity of the presstitutes to serve the hegemony agenda and the budget and power of the CIA, Pentagon, and military industries. If the US stops bombing and slaughtering Muslims and training and equiping forces to overthrow non-compliant Muslim governments such as Syria, Iraq, and Libya, “the Muslim threat” will disappear.
Maybe Trump will add to his agenda breaking into hundreds of pieces the six mega-media companies that own 90% of the US media and selling the pieces to seperate independent owners who have no connection to the ruling elites. Then America would again have a media that can constrain the government with truth rather than use lies to act for or against the government.
This version reported by King World News has some delicious words from past journalists about how their only job is to lie for the rich: http://kingworldnews.com/paul-craig-roberts-an-ominous-warning-for-what-promises-to-be-a-very-dangerous-year/
“Trump needs to understand that “the Muslim threat” is a hoax…”
Not really a Muslim threat, but it is an Islamic threat. However, the ones carrying the disease are mostly Muslims.
PCR, before you call the Islamic threat a hoax, you should spend a year in Europe visiting all the countries in the EU.
and why did the Muslims enter Europe?
gee, you think it was because of our constant wars
Muslim same same Islamic.
Disagree – for example, some Muslims are Christian.
Not according to Merriam-Webster (or any other legitimate or even semi legitimate dictionary of the English language:
Definition of Muslim
1
: an adherent of Islam
2
: black muslim
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Muslim
If you don’t own a dictionary, definitions are easy to find on the internet.
Words have meanings, words have power: Use them correctly.
” … some Muslims are Christian.” —— kokoda the deplorable
Really??
In other news;
—- some squares are circles
—- water can be dry
—- sometimes blue is red
—- cats are dogs
—- bacteria are viruses
Well, I was going by the knowledge of having read that a small number of people practice both religions. Although, I don’t like to refer to Islam as a religion – it is much more than that.
Practicing both gets you a special place in the hearts of your fellow Moslems. They have a quick fix for apostates.
ROFLOL
“topics where Trump needs criticism, such as the environment” how so PCR? He questions the AGW agenda which he should. It is not science it is religion. CO2 is a necessary nutrient for all plant life both on land and in the oceans. Photosynthesis is not a debatable question it is scientific FACT…
Always have been the opposition. I go back to the Tet offensive of ’68 when Hanoi and General Giap threw everything including the kitchen sink at RVN and American forces. We kicked ass killing 10s of thousands of Viet Cong and NVA regulars. Yet Cronkite goes on the CBS nightly news and says the American embassy in Saigon was over run and woe, alas, woe is me. Cronkite tells Mr.& Mrs. John Q. it’s over. And they believed him. When in fact we had Ho Chi Minh on the ropes and he was goin’ down…..hard. 56,000 men of my generation died there. And Cronkite sold them out.
In Vietnam I figured out we were fight three wars: The war against the Communists (North Vietnam, the VC, China that used them as a surrogate), the race war of black against white, and the war of the news organizations against America.
You had to be aware of that or one of them would get you, and not just the one using the guns and mortars.
We won Vietnam both on the battlefield & at the negotiating table.
The Democratic controlled Congress surrendered it all,which led directly to millions of deaths & made all US killed/wounded meaningless.

The media is the head of the snake. I’m not surprised that they’ve decided to direct all of their fire right on top of them.
NPR has become my favorite thing to listen to on headphones when I’m riding the tractor or splitting wood because all they do is fulminate and whine and try to twist whatever they can to fit back into their Skinner’s box. I find myself laughing out loud all the time. They have completely lost control of the narrative and there doesn’t appear to be any plan to recapture it except to double down on more BS.
The time off the tractor and on the boob tube is CNN. They are the biggest pile of dung in the world.
Funny, Hardscrabble. I’ve been doing exactly the same thing while driving home. It is comedy. Last night the NPR guy had e.j. dionne and david brooks on, among others and eliana johnson from politico. They were tying themselves in knots with word jumbles that made no sense at all if you had the vocabulary to keep up. This moment is truly beyond their comprehension. Everything their secular religion has taught them, everything that gave them their smug superiority, is gone. And gone for good. And worse, is rapidly being exposed as a bunch of horseshit, totally fabricated nonsense. They weren’t the smart ones. They weren’t the moral ones. They were a bunch of gullible, useful fools. And while it is sinking in, it is incomprehensible to them. And so they squirm in intellectual agony, right there on PBS, for us to enjoy. I find it very satisfying to listen to.
Fake news, fake reality tv, fake food, fake government, fake press……………..
Is it time to walk away from this constructed BS and carry on with daily task of living in your own reality? In the sixties it was “Tune in , Turn on and get high”, now it should be “Tune out, Unplug , Turn off and get on with your life”.
Stucky remembers Jesus Christ is the Messiah . Praise the Lord. A Miracle for all to see.
A Muslim or a Jew can not be a real Christian since both religions reject the Divinity of Christ .

“…A Muslim or a Jew can not be a real Christian since both religions reject the Divinity of Christ .”
hey Einstein, they can be a Christian if they CONVERT to Christianity

The only good mohammedan is………..
Media, colleges,public school unions and administrations and the financial industry. It will take a real regeneracy to shake that combination off.
All MSM are CIA fronts used to perform psyops on the general population.
I can just barely make it through the local news, to catch a glimpse of the weather forecast, which has also become fake news, since they can’t forecast their way out of a paper bag.
Thankfully, there are still cartoons on other channels during the new time slot.
I don’t pay for TV signals,
I can’t imagine paying to be lied to.
I’m so scared (haha) because The LGBT Perverts have decided to become the Spearhead in The War against God, The Conservatives and Trump (Scornful men bring a city into a snare Pov 29:8). They do not understand that Dead Ahead is not (The Late Great Fake) Global Warming Scam but the Real Oligarch’s Anthropomorphic Dollar Crash (hyperinflation, the outlawing of cash, and The Beast’s Chip, Rev 13:16,17); big Muslim, Mexican and BLM uprisings (TPTB’s Planned Revolutionary Chaos, Martial Law and their Final Solution for the Useless Idiots…all opposed by Trump); the 206th year Solar Minimum (with the concomitant crop failures, major earthquakes and volcanoes, disruption of utilities and the supply chains). These will Not be The Best of Times for The LGBT Perverts to be Asking For It; they will get their payback “good and hard”…
hey moron, fucking moron! Trump held a rainbow flag at one of his campaign events.
My Dear Vet, I’m glad such a silly season act made you happy; and I think he did say he won’t change the LGBT’s status but thank God he isn’t a fudge packer like Hussein. PS: Gays can CONVERT too.
unfortunately there is no solution to your mental retardation

The difference between a reporter who goes out and investigates and a repeater who parrots deep state talking points is the same as between an Olympic wrestler and a WWE entertainer. The WWF was forced to change its name to WWE, perhaps CNN should have to do the same (for the same reason).
The ‘people’ rolled over and have been just as complicit in this as the media. By continuing to fly when an unConstitutional TSA was placed between you and your airplane ride. Instead of boycotting them until they returned to recognition of our protections under the fourth amendment. Just one example of many that make the average American as guilty as the lying media.
It would be nice to see Trump’s administration turn this around. We’ve already seen how willing the public is to stand up to these grievances.
