Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
At a time when the Western world desperately needs alternative voices to the neoliberals, the neoconservatives, the presstitutes and the Trump de-regulationists, there are none. The Western leftwing has gone insane.
The voices being raised against Trump, who does need voices raised against him, are so hypocritical as to reflect less on Trump than on those with raised voices.
Sharon Kelly McBride, speaking for Human Rights First, sent me an email saying that Trump stands on the wrong side of “America’s ideals” by his prohibition of Muslim immigrants into the US.
It is my sincere desire to provide readers of this site with the best unbiased information available, and a forum where it can be discussed openly, as our Founders intended.

So each time you visit the site, I would ask that you consider the value that you receive and have received from The Burning Platform and the community of which you are a vital part. I can't do it all alone, and I need your help and support to keep it alive.

My question to McBride is: Where were you and Human Rights First when the Bush/Cheney/Obama regime was murdering, maiming, orphaning, widowing, and displacing millions of Muslims in seven countries over the course of 4 presidential terms?
Why is it OK to slaughter millions of peoples, destroy their homes and villages, wreck their cities as long as it is not Donald Trump who is doing it?
Where does Human Rights First get off. Just another fake website, or is McBride seizing the opportunity to prostitute Human Rights First in hopes of donations from the DNC, the Soros’ NGOs, the Isreal Lobby, and the ruling One Percent?
Money speaks, and alternative voices need money in order to speak. As so many Americans are indifferent to the quality of information that they get, many alternative voices are thrown back to relying on whatever money is available. Generally, it is the money of disinformation, of information that controls the explanations in ways that favor and enhance the ruling oligarchy.
Is this the position in which McBride has placed Human Rights First?
Turn now to Truthout. This website says that Trump is demonizing Muslims by denying them immigration into the US. Where has Truthout been for the past 16 years? Did Truthout not notice that the George W. Bush regime said “We have to kill them (Muslims) over there before they (Muslims) come over here.”
Did Truthout not notice that Obama continued the policy of “killing them (Muslims) over there”?
How insane, how corrupt, does Truthout have to be to say that it is Trump who is demonizing Muslims?
Trump has not said that he wants to “kill them over there.” He has said that if the masses of peoples we have dislocated and whose families we have murdered want to come here, they might wish to exact revenge. Having made Muslims our enemies, it makes no sense to admit vast numbers of them.
According to Bush and Obama, we are supposed “to kill them over there,” not bring them “over here” where they can kill us as a payback for the murder machine we have run against them.
This is common sense. Yet, the deranged left says it is “racism.”
What happens to a country when the alternative voice is even more stupid and corrupt than the government’s voice?
When words lose their meaning, we are on the road to tyranny. As noted by Dr. Roberts, I am not sure what the “left” represents anymore. Modern liberalism is far removed from true liberalism or classical liberalism. To me a “neoliberal” is a fake liberal and constitutes a corruption of the word “liberal” to the point that it means almost the opposite of classical liberalism. Classical liberalism is a political ideology that values the freedom of individuals — including the freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and markets — as well as limited government. The same can be said about the “neoconservative” that is not conservative in any way, shape or form which is why it is abbreviated to “neocon” as in designed to con people. To me, conservative as the name would suggest is the conservation of the best in our civilization – our people, traditions, history, language, religion and way of doing things. It is the preservation of grace and harmony, all those attributes that preserve our people and make life worth living. Diverse, multicultural and multiracial societies are not harmonious or graceful, create tension and conflict, and ultimately lead to decline, violence and civil war.
In today’s world “left” generally denotes those with communist and Satanic leanings as well as those who outright embrace them and base all their life and beliefs on them.
Those with leanings and those who embrace are decidedly different, but both work in conjunction with each other and are om the same side of the political spectrum.
As for what the “right” is ……. well, that’s a pretty big tent and has a whole lot of differing ideas and philosophies in it, but I’d suggest it is the collective of everyone who opposes the left, even if they rarely work together, agree on issues, or support one another to any large degree.
“WDG”: Consider adding to your: “Diverse, multicultural and multiracial societies…” “…that do not assimilate…”
Some of this is now moot (at least for the time being).
Trumps common sense temporary immigration restrictions have been defeated in Court by the same Judge that shouted “Black lives matter!” from the bench in deciding another case last year.
The left is going to make sure this country doesn’t even make small changes to the “fundamental transformation” they have been instituting without opposition, they’ve gotten used to having their way without question and will not tolerate a challenge to it.
Be ready for them, be ready to protect yourselves from the predictable results as they continue to succeed.
the left think theyare right, theyhave never been right. lib is just a word but still means commie.
The left and right of what was once “OUR COUNTRY” have placed themselves in the shit hole of history and are in the process of finishing off the rest of us with what ever it takes !
Trump may turn things around a little here or there but as for a real fix to return to what was and what might have been , not likely !
To quote the late George Carlin :”The real owners of America threw average Americans overboard 30 (now 40) fucking years ago , they don’t give a fuck about you ! All the want is more for themselves and less for everybody else ! And they will get it all of it including social security after they finish wiping out pensions ! What “THEY” do want are people smart enough to run the machines and shuffle the paperwork but no ability to see how hard they are being fucked till their assholes bleed !”
That about sums it up now send your kid out there to get a leg blown off , they will call him a hero whoopie that don’t give us our kids back whole !
I have had a front row seat to what all these war mongering assholes want and get going back to Vietnam and not a fucking thing has changed ! As Schmedly Butler said “War is a racket” and nothing has changed !
He will not divide us! He will not divide us!
Just kidding.
