Are You Ready to Die?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

In George Orwell’s 1949 dystopian novel, 1984, information that no longer is consistent with Big Brother’s explanations is chucked down the Memory Hole. In the real American dystopia in which we currently live, the information is never reported at all.

On April 26—16 days ago—Lt. Gen. Viktor Poznihir, Deputy Chief of the Main Operations Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces, stated at the Moscow International Security Conference that the Operations Command of the Russian General Staff has concluded that Washington is preparing a nuclear first strike on Russia.

The Times-Gazett in Ashland, Ohio, was the only US print media that a Google search could turn up that reported this most alarming of all announcements. A Google search turned up no reports on US TV, and none on Canadian, Australian, European, or any other media except RT and Internet sites.

I have been unable to find any report that any US Senator or Representative or any European, Canadian, or Australian politician has raised a voice of concern.

No one in Washington got on the telephone to tell Putin that this was all a mistake, that the US was not preparing a nuclear first strike on Russia, or ask Putin how this serious situation could be defused.

Americans do not even know about it, except for my readers.

I would have expected at least that the CIA would have planted the story in the Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC, and NPR that General Poznihir was expressing his personal opinion, nothing to be taken seriously. But apparently Americans and their European vassals are not to even know that such an accussation was made.

As I reported some time ago and more recently in my column about North Korea, the Chinese leadership has also concluded that the US intends a nuclear first strike against China.

Alone either Russia or China can destroy the US. If they act together, the destruction of the US would be redundant. What is the intelligence, if any, and morality, clearly none, of the US leadership that recklessly and irresponsibly invites Russia and China to preempt Washington’s attack on them with an attack on the US?

Surely not even insouciant Americans are so stupid as to think that Russia and China will just sit there and wait for Washington’s nuclear attack.

I lived through every stage of the Cold War. I participated in it. Never in my life have I experienced the situation where two nuclear powers were convinced that the third was going to surprise them with a nuclear attack.

I supported Trump because he, unlike Hillary, said he would normalize relations with Russia. Instead he has raised the tensions between the nuclear powers. Nothing is more irresponsible or dangerous.

We currently are in the most dangerous situation of my lifetime, and there is ZERO AWARENESS AND NO DISCUSSION!

How can this be? Putin has been issuing warnings for years. He has told the Western presstitute media on more than one occasion that they, in their dishonesty, are pushing the world to nuclear war. Putin has said over and over, “I issue warnings and no one hears.” “How do I get through to you?”

Maybe the morons will hear when mushroom clouds appear over Washington and New York, and Europe ceases to exist, as it will if Europe continues the confrontation with Russia as is required from Washington’s well-paid vassals.

Within the last several years I reported the Chinese government’s reaction to US war plans for a nuclear strike on China. The Chinese showed how their submarines would destroy the West Coast of the US and their ICBMs would finish off the rest of the country.

I reported all of this, and it produced no response. The Memory Hole wasn’t needed, as neither Washington nor the presstitutes nor the Internet noticed. This is insouciance to the thousandth degree.

In America and its subservient, crawling on their knees vassal states, the information never gets reported, so it never has to be put down the Memory Hole.

If you convince someone that you are going to kill them, they are going to kill you first. A government, such as what exists in Washington, that convinces powerful countries that they are targeted, is a government that has no respect whatsoever for the lives of its own people or the peoples of the world or for any life on planet Earth.

Such a government as Washington is evil beyond all measure, as are the media whores and European, Canadian, Australian, and Japanese vassal states that serve Washington at the expense of their own citizens.

Despite all their efforts to believe otherwise, the Russian and Chinese leaderships have finally arrived, belatedly, at the realization that Washington is evil to the core and is the agent of Satan.

For Russia and China, the Satanic Evil that rules in the West has reduced the choice for Russia and China to them or us.

I was thinking about getting a tee shirt that says “Nuke the swamp!”, but then I realized that all the swamp metaphors for DC are unfair to swamps. Actual swamps are beautiful.

If they only took out DC and NYC, the country would end up a lot better.

And Miami, New Orleans, Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago etc etc etc
Sick of hearing people say such ignorant, flippant comments like, “they should nuke DC and New York”…. the millions of honest, hard working people be damned right? As long as you killed a few politicians and bankers it would be worth it, right? Who cares about the blue collar families, the fact that 19 of the 23 counties within 100 miles of DC vote RED not globalist blue–they are just Acceptable Casualties and worth it, right? Because the government and bankers would never re-group in another city and have ready-made puppets to fill the empty suits of those nuked, right?

Meanwhile the Deep State controllers would just calculate their next move–they have no allegiance to the US or humanity in general and the loss of millions would just expedite their agenda.

actually when you look at how he attempts to use the word, it doesnt seem like he is using it correctly since it doesnt come close to conveying the type of description he wants to get across. he mustve had it come up on his desk word calendar and decided it sounded intelligent and now tries to fit it in where he can

He really should stop using that word in every article.

As far as Russia and China (can add Iran) is concerned, what I do notice is that the US is trying to surround them by having the countries nearby destroyed or allied with the US. Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Koreas, and Vietnam. It’s fairly obvious once you look at a map.

Americans have to wake up to the fact that the United States has evolved from a constitutional republic to an EVIL Empire, much worse than the former USSR, that is a grave threat to all mankind. The US has been taken over and is largely controlled by Satanic NeoCons – these are the neo-Bolsheviks -who are largely alien to the American people and our way of life. They now control the Federal Reserve, the monetary and financial system, the Main Stream Media, the Hollywood scum mill, Congress, the Whitehouse and most government departments and agencies, particularly the State Department, Department of Justice, CIA, NSA, FBI and Pentagon. Trump is no match for this evil force that controls America.

Yes the leaders (both governmental and cultural) of my beloved country are driven by evil impulses. The time and opportunity to stop them has passed, and now we await the reaping of what has been sown. I am sorry I have to continue to be associated with them. I have pretty well detached psychologically, but am still tied practically.

I watch and wait and try to live my little life with love and integrity. I know of no other way to cope. I try not to be insouciant.

Me too Gayle. I will take delight that this cool wet spring has given me the best cauliflower, broccoli and largest blueberries I’ve ever grown ( and I’ll be eating lettuce and kale until my skin turns green).
The usual groundhog and rabbit invaders couldn’t even clean me out this year. If enjoying what I can control makes me insouciant, the maybe I’ll get a t-shirt with that printed across the front.

The Us and China released a 10 point trade deal yesterday that will open Chinese markets to US beef, poultry, natural gas, agriculture, financial services and biotechnology in an effort to help reduce the massive trade deficit with Beijing. A massive psyop to fool the Chinese just before we bomb the shit out of them. Brilliant!

It may be “underwhelming” but it is the most progress since the 1999 deal. A good deal is usually one where no one is completely happy but at least it is a beginning and clearly not a prelude to war. Trump is a trader not a warrior.

PCR is certainly correct on a few things. We have pushed China and Russia together and together they can certainly overpower us in a nuclear exchange, even if we have superfuse technology and get lucky in a first strike with one, the other will get us. I do not see a NATO-like apparatus, so I wonder of Russia and China have a real war/defense alliance? China is building schools and hospitals in Africa instead of wars making them more welcome around the world, Russia and China are on a road to replace the US monetary system and replace EU and US coverage of Asia and Africa!, which may initiate the war as it has others. with an open border China, Russia or others could easily transport small nukes into the country and plant them in place giving them a huge first-strike advantage without warning. If the Israel nuke story about 911 is true then it has already been done before and it would be easy to copy. You would think that the large government spy operations would all know this and have pursued policies in this direction….

Has anyone debunked the skating ring he supposedly built? He’s still got that going for him.
Btw, wdg, I think you might mean “devolved” instead of “evolved”.
