Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
On November 25 I predicted that the DOJ would never rat on itself. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/11/25/washington-the-cesspool-of-the-world-will-never-rat-on-itself/
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who is part of the problem, has proven me correct with his whitewash of the politically orchestrated “investigation” of President Trump for collusion with Russia to steal the US presidential election. No one in his right mind could believe such a ridiculous accusation was worthy of investigation, especially when there was not a nano-gram of evidence, as the Mueller report confirmed.
Horowitz even ruled that there was no FBI political bias despite the total proof of it in FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok’s emails with DOJ lawyer Lisa Page, showing the plot against Trump:
“At the heart of GOP lawmakers’ complaints about Strzok were a series of texts from Aug. 8, 2016, between Strzok and Page, his alleged mistress, in which Strzok wrote to Page, ‘We’ll stop’ a Trump presidency. Trump is ‘not ever going to become president, right? Right?!’ Page wrote. ‘No. No he won’t,’ Strzok responded. ‘We’ll stop it.’”

Horowitz, obviously a person very short on integrity or intelligence, declared this blatent bias to not be bias. So we have a DOJ Inspector General giving us Newspeak, the language in George Orwell’s dystopian novel 1984.
Horowitz’s real assignment was not to investigate, but to cover up the crime, which he did by finding that the FBI made a large number of “mistakes” that the FBI director promises new controls in place to prevent in the future. Thus Horowitz did his job. He converted crimes into “mistakes.” That is the way Washington works.
Will John Durham’s criminal investigation of the Democrats, CIA, and FBI for their Russiagate hoax, an investigation that should include investigation of the complicit Presstitute Media who are without any doubt accessories to the crime, also prove me correct?
When has the United States government told the truth about anything?
President John F. Kennedy’s assassination?
Robert Kennedy’s assassination?
Martin Luther King’s assassination?
The Gulf of Tonkin?
The USS Liberty?
9/11?
Saddam Hussein’s “Weapons of Mass Destruction”?
Assad’s Use of Chemical Weapons?
Iranian nukes?
The destruction of Libya and Gaddafi?
Russian invasion of Georgia?
Russian invasion of Ukraine?
Russiagate?
Impeachgate?
It is easy to add to this list.
America is ruled by lies. Truth is completely absent. And the American population tolerates it. Rule by lies is now the American Way.

A Government Of Lies
By Tesich, Steve
We’re all too familiar with the term “Vietnam syndrome,” but little has been said recently about another, far more disturbing and insidious syndrome that spawns ever more virulent strains of social decay: the Watergate syndrome. The revelations that President Nixon and members of his Cabinet were a bunch of cheap crooks rightly sickened and disgusted the nation. But truth prevailed and a once-again proud nation proudly patted itself on the back; despite the crimes committed in the highest office in our land, our system of government worked. Democracy triumphed.
But in the wake of that triumph something totally unforeseen occurred. Either because the Watergate revelations were so wrenching and followed on the heels of the war in Vietnam, which was replete with crimes and revelations of its own, or because Nixon was so quickly pardoned, we began to shy away from the truth. We came to equate truth with bad news and we didn’t want bad news anymore, no matter how true or vital to our health as a nation. We looked to our government to protect us from the truth.
The high crimes and impeachable offenses committed by Ronald Reagan and his Administration, which included our current President, in the Iran/contra scandal were far more serious and un-American than the crimes for which Nixon was kicked out of office. These latest crimes attacked the very heart and soul of our Republic. A private little government was created to pursue a private foreign policy agenda and thereby circumvent the law of the land, the Congress, the Constitution itself. This hidden layer of government, which diminishes democratic institutions to a series of front organizations, is a well-known feature of all totalitarian regimes. In all of them there is the so-called “front” government line, which means nothing, and there is the “party line,” which goes on behind the scenes. The line in this case was the Republican Party line, but it was no different in its implementation and in its implications from the Communist Party line of the pre-Gorbachev Soviet Union.
And yet, nothing happened. Nothing really happened. The Iran/contra scandal became the Iran/contra farce. President Reagan perceived correctly that the public really didn’t want to know the truth. So he lied to us, but he didn’t have to work hard at it. He sensed that we would gladly accept his loss of memory as an alibi. It had simply slipped his mind what form of government we had in our country.
When the war in the Persian Gulf began we not only accepted but embraced with patriotic fervor press censorship of it. We would see only what our government wanted us to see, and we saw nothing wrong with that. We liked it that way. Our government was looking after us.
The charade of truth took another step when the diplomatic cables of April Glaspie, U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, were declassified by the State Department. The justification for the entire war rested on the premise that war was unavoidable and that our Ambassador in the firmest of tones had warned Saddam Hussein not to violate the territorial integrity of Kuwait. Our State Department assured us that this was true. Our Ambassador, testifying in front of the Senate, reaffirmed the truth of this position.
It now turns out that it was all a lie. But the fact that the Bush Administration felt safe in declassifying those cables shows it was no longer afraid of the truth because it knows that the truth will have little impact on us. The Administration’s message to us was this: We’ve given you a glorious victory and we’ve given you back your self-esteem. Now here’s the truth. Which do you prefer? The implications are terrifying. We are being told that we can’t have both truth and self-esteem anymore. We have to choose. One excludes the other.
The implications are even more terrifying than this. We are rapidly becoming prototypes of a people that totalitarian monsters could only drool about in their dreams. …

So, were you around for any of these discussion during Desert Storm, PCR?
Your statement:
“We’re all too familiar with the term “Vietnam syndrome,” but little has been said recently about another, far more disturbing and insidious syndrome that spawns ever more virulent strains of social decay: the Watergate syndrome. The revelations that President Nixon and members of his Cabinet were a bunch of cheap crooks rightly sickened and disgusted the nation. But truth prevailed and a once-again proud nation proudly patted itself on the back; despite the crimes committed in the highest office in our land, our system of government worked. Democracy triumphed.”
Your statement is dead wrong. Nixon did nothing wrong. It was his underlings who were committing questionable “deeds”. Nixon “took one for the team”-nothing more.
Watergate was orchestrated by the democRATS who wanted Nixon out of power. “Deep Throat” was none other than Mark Felt, who was in line to become the next director of the FBI. When Nixon chose L. Patrick Grey instead of Felt, “all bets were off”. Felt went after Nixon with a vengeance. The rest is history.
Nixon’s “crime” was not stepping up to the plate and accepting full responsibility for the actions of his henchmen and apologizing to the American public. He lied and tried to cover it up.
Papa Bush lied to the American public with his “read my lips…” comment and was not re-elected.
B J Clinton lied to the American public with his “I did not have sexual relations…” comment and was impeached.
0bama lied to the American public with most of his statements, but he was re-elected because he was black and untouchable.
Congress lies to us daily and has had an approval rating in the teens for as long as I can remember, but Congresscritters get re-elected because “my Congressman is OK, it’s the others who are corrupt.”
Lies have long been a part of the District of Corruption and are routinely overlooked by those on the same side as the liar.
A whole lot of Bullshit has been going on since the country was formed. One freaking lie after another. Our military and our wars have almost all been bullshit. Ask Native Americans. Social security is in a lockbox!
This country was founded by ‘illuminated’ deists…..inspired by the father of all lies.

The truth ain’t in criminals.
The horrorwitz report is designed to negate a motive (political bias) and pin the blame on “mistakes”, which then make it next to impossible to prove intent, and then, there is no crime. This is classic lawyer maneuvering during the discovery phase to ensure no on goes to jail. If Barr or Durham wanted to prove bias or intent or motive, they will have to negate this claptrap report, before they can prosecute the true leaders of this attempted coup.
This is why both Barr and Durham made statements that they disagree with the reports conclusion, however, these statements are not facts that can be used in court, they are just Public Relations press.
The masses love being lied to by the Churches and the Government. It gives them cover not to take responsibility for their own lives
ZOG lies about everything (CPI, GDP, unemployment, chem-trails, GMOs, UFOs, the gold in Fort Knox, vote fraud, crop totals, race IQ and crime rates, etc) and the public swallows all the Official Lies like cake. I had an eye opener when the TV Weather Forecast was for a low of 39 degrees F at 5AM 4Dec2019; but I checked my outside tropicals at midnight and they were covered with ice. I read my outside thermometer and was shocked to see 26 F. Was the Weather Service incredibly stupid or lying? We can check weather ALL BY OURSELVES so I began taking a measurement every hour. The true temperature (at Zip 32344 at 4AM on 4Dec2019 was 20 degrees F but the US Weather Service reported 37 degrees F; there was frost everywhere and the cup of water I set on my porch at midnight was now hard ice. Wake Up Americans, TPTB lies are NOT because THEY are stupid! I called a friend in Tallahassee in the morning and asked him to look outside to see if there was any ice or frost, and he said a little; ie, the true town temperature was less than 32F yet the Weather Service official low was about 36F (do you believe in magic ice at 36F?). Rural air is always about 5 degrees F cooler than a City Heat Island air, but not 15 degrees. The facts are screaming that the Weather Service is as crooked as the rest of the Federal Government. Even though Tallahassee was below 32F, obviously WDC/NYC adjusted our official local temperatures above freezing. TPTB’s lying has become so pervasive that it even includes temperature. Let’s Boldly spread Truth, Justice and the American Way; and reject NYC/WDC and MSM lies. The Oligarchs are naked liars and crooks destroying America but half the people are such Useful Idiots they think TPTB Experts are like gods; the Conservatives are mostly sadly silent. We must pull the Curtain back and expose TPTB (ref the Wizard of Oz). They are stealing our children’s Birthright (Culture and wealth) while stuffing people’s heads with perversions and lies. “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. Prov29:2” We have an obligation to God and our children to not take it anymore.
The only good thing about this impeachment / investigation / Muller report – is that it exposes the sheer incompetence of these ass clowns pretending to be our elite ruling class.
It does, however I saw that when I was 15 years old.
