The Collapse of the United States Is No Longer Avoidable

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Within the last few days two commentators I respect—The Saker and Dmitry Orlov—have written that the United States is now undergoing systemic collapse.

My view, reflected in my articles published over the years, is that the United States ceased to exist decades ago.  It is only the foundational strength of the country put in place by great men, such as Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and James Madison, that has kept the image alive of a functioning country. The house that sat on the foundation long ago washed away in the flood of anti-American propaganda from the self-hating white liberal elites who dominate education, media, and government. Today the statues of our great founders are themselves pulled down and desecrated by the ignorant products of American education.

Fifteen months ago, I posted a column, “Western Culture Has Died a Politially Correct Death” — https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/03/30/western-culture-has-died-a-politically-correct-death/ .  Nothing could be more obvious today.  George Floyd, a felon, misogynist woman abuser who killed himself with an overdose of Fentanyl, has been elevated into a national hero.  The police officer restraining him when he self-desructed is charged with murder.  Americans are so poorly educated that they do not know that a knee on the side of the neck does not obstruct breathing. Floyd couldn’t breathe because the fatal dose of Fentanyl was killing him. You can get the facts of the effects of Fentanyl from this official source: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/fentanyl 

Here is the medical examiner’s report: https://www.scribd.com/document/464269559/George-Floyd-Autopsy-FULL-REPORT#from_embed?campaign=VigLink&ad_group=xxc1xx&source=hp_affiliate&medium=affiliate 

Unless the false murder charge against the police officer is withdrawn, do not expect police protection from black and Antifa violence.

The fact of the matter is that the United States, its history, and all of its meritorious values have been denounced by white liberal elites as racist and evil. The charge is no longer limited to the South. It goes far beyond to the Founding Fathers, to the United States Constitution, to the national anthem, to mathematics, to science and the Englsh language, all of which, along with the concept of truth itself, has been defined as racist America.

The United States has lost its youth. Indoctrinated by their education to see white people as the source of abuse and oppression of other races, young whites have been deracinated. They view their history and culture as shameful.  The Pew Research Center found that only 17% of the Black Lives Matter protesters were black, whereas 46% of the protesters were white, largely Democrats under 30 years of age. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/06/24/recent-protest-attendees-are-more-racially-and-ethnically-diverse-younger-than-americans-overall/

Once the bedrock of a country is discredited among the young generation, the country collapses.  It is too late to do anything about it. The question is: who will survive it?

When considering the future of America, optimism becomes a theoretical construct. There’s nothing tangible that would give way to an optimistic perspective in our short, or long range models.
Opposition to the anti-white rhetoric being spewed by those who receive large salaries and bonuses and who enthusiastically prostitute themselves willingly to their media Zio- masters, is practically nil.
Moreover, the compliant white sheeple literally trip over themselves to don masks, gloves, football helmets, adult diapers, or anything at all that may be required by our overlords to just perform daily everyday functions.
The U.S. is dying, but the worst of it is that it is dying a pathetic death at the hands of its sworn enemies, without even as much as a whimper. Where’s the push back? Where’s the indictments? Where’s the 4D chess moves? Where is the resistance? Americans are so obedient it is absolutely scary.
People are willing to sit in a bubble and pull down their compulsory masks between bites when they timidly venture out to visit their favorite restaurant.
I’ve personally observed nearly catatonic morons wearing masks while driving alone in their vehicles.
I predicted that this would be our future when the vacuous throngs of unthinking, unknowing morons lined up with their belts, shoes, handbags, bottles, and anything else that had to be scanned in abject surrender, just to board an airliner. The sum of this sacrifice for the sake of “safety” was evident by the apprehension of exactly zero terrorists, that weren’t part of a black ops drill.
No one could have predicted that total obedience would be the catalyst to our undoing, but the verdict is now in. Compliance will inevitably result in your demise and the future for those who come after will be the darkest dystopian nightmare that could ever be conjured up by the most twisted, demented mind imaginable.
Perhaps a merciful end is actually best for us all, as this country has ceased to be a place where any sane individual would want to reside.
Say farewell to the America that we all have known and loved, as it sinks beneath the waves to oblivion.
Oh, but wait, the stock market is up.

When people, the average Joe, are so insouciant about using highly educated language by using words like, insouciant, we must understand, we, as a nation have reached a pinnacle of mass education. We have become so enlightened and insouciant to the issues that are instrumental to our own demise. We no longer see dangers ?

“People are willing to sit in a bubble and pull down their compulsory masks between bites when they timidly venture out to visit their favorite restaurant.”

—because that airborne or small spittle droplets floating around in air somehow avoid the utensils, your food, the drink, all the people and food in the kitchen, but yeah that mask is so god damned important because it is our ticket to control. We keep the morons in fear by the narrative / reminder of the virus so we can get approval of mail in ballots, not to be confused with absentee ballots. This allows us to have already printed up millions of ballots, already know who is dead democrat voters and we have spent 12 hour days signing, I mean forging signatures, now we have the legal right to ballot harvest and drop these ballots off the day of the election. Making it too late to question shit. And if they question shit after Trump is out we can just riot again. We got this. That is what these masks are about. And this fake assed virus. That is exactly what these marxist would be saying under water board discussions.

“I’ve personally observed nearly catatonic morons wearing masks while driving alone in their vehicles.”
—-these are the people that absolutely know it has nothing to do with masks and the fake assed virus. They know the real agenda. Or these are the real, real sheeple. And i mean sheeple to the max. These are the ones that will be dazed and confused when people of color come to chop their heads off. They will stare iNcredulously at them And say and do nothing, other than “i am on your side. I hate myself don’t you see. I fought for you.” And they take their last breath…..still not even understanding…..these people should be cannon fodder first for they are the biggest and most real enemy because they are too stupid to deserve to share earths oxygen. They are the purposeful enablers. The real culprits are the ones behind the education system and setup of rhe entire slow incremental ideology. Them and their spawn should be turned into small diced pig food. Their entire genealogy. When the day comes when there are no more hidden agenda and genocide is obvious. There will be beast never seen before created on both sides. I do feel few are ready for the type of beast that have been created on the silent right side. They will produce shock and awe globally. To teach the world a lesson in letting sleeping dogs lie. And a lesson will be taught as this is not going to just be swept under the rug. This fuckin cat is way outta the bag boys.

That is what is happening in the ATL. The zoo has overrun the city and the zoo keepers only respond when there is a major felony. If they find a crowd of “peaceful protesters”, they just drive on by like they were going to another more important crime. I do not think I could be paid enough money to go into a downtown area in a major city or into the city limits of a black run city.

Something to keep in mind is that the majority does not establish the big cultural changes. Rather it is the ten-percent or even less than that. It is discouraging right now to look around and see all the compliance and head-down shame the majority of whites exhibit. But the “GFY” few are white hot about now and it’s them who can turn things around. Maybe there can be a WHM: White Hot Movement.

For example, Gerald Celente is sponsoring a 4th of July “Occupy Peace” rally in Kingston, NY.

I do hope when the red team shows up they go for broke and completely wipe out these marxist, as anything else would not teach the lesson that needed to be taught. The world needs to understand to stop fucking with us. We also need to make it real fucking clear That no other nation or entity will take away our guns. This is why they cannot overtake us. This is the closest they have come and they are all in. If the dems win they will confiscate guns, then we are done for. This must be an epic battle. A show down of finality of Gun rights as this is the only country left with citizens owning guns and everyone in the world openly or secretly wants to be American or at least live here. . Do not fall for all that globalist propaganda bullshit. Everyone wants in here. None of them understand the foundation of their wants but it is the second amendment. Because it keeps the govts they are running from, out of the usa.

“Once the bedrock of a country is discredited among the young generation, the country collapses. It is too late to do anything about it. The question is: who will survive it?”

By and large it will be the smart people who survive. I think the silver lining in this crisis, as well as a possible flaw in the NWO’s plans for a One World Government, is that the smart people will survive at a much higher rate than the stupid people. The NWO wants to significantly reduce the world population, to roughly about 500 million. Given that the current world population is about 7.7 billion, that means they are planning to eliminate just over 7 billion people, probably by about 2030. Since the NWO always (at least so far) eventually achieves its goals, then it is a near certainty that they will be successful in their goal of population reduction. Eliminating 7 billion people will get rid of a lot of stupid people. Now obviously not all of those 7 billion are stupid, but the vast majority of them are.

Obviously there will be some smart people who will perish also, and there will be some stupid people among the survivors. But the smart people, especially those who realize that this scamdemic is just another step by the NWO to bring in their One World Government, will survive at a much higher rate than the stupid people. A world populated by about half a billion people with an average IQ significantly higher than the current average will be a formidable force, both because of their own superiority and because of the fact that they won’t be hindered by the billions of stupid useless eaters that currently populate the planet and do nothing except drain resources from the smart people and get in their way.

Now obviously the NWO doesn’t see things the same way I do. They certainly aren’t seeking to empower the half billion survivors. Their plan is for some combination of “The Hunger Games” and “1984”, with a very small number of elite at the top, and the mass of humanity (what is left after the depopulation) at the bottom in poverty, with an Orwellian technocratic police state keeping the masses at the bottom in servitude to the elite at the top. However, the globalists may be smart but they aren’t infallible. Their power is due not so much to the fact that they are smart, but due to the fact that the rest of the population is extremely stupid on average. The globalists rely on the ignorance of the masses to stay in power, in fact that is precisely why they devote so much energy to making sure the masses stay ignorant (especially via public schools and the MSM). But the globalists are extremely few in number compared to the world population. It is like the grasshoppers and the ants in “A Bug’s Life”. If a significant percentage (not a significant NUMBER, but a significant PERCENTAGE) of the population knew what was going on, and decided to take matters into their own hands, it would be extremely easy to take down the NWO. So what I see is a shift in the dynamic after the depopulation. A smaller population of smart people unhindered by the useful idiots criticizing everything they do and continuously obstructing them could easily take down the NWO. The result would be the closest thing to paradise that humans have ever experienced, at least in modern civilization.

I think you’re close but don’t quite get the difference between smart and wise. Where I work there are a huge number of brilliant PhDs from places like Harvard, Cambridge and MIT. Almost all of them are incredibly naive leftists. They have no clue what’s coming. I also know some people of at best average intellect that recognize the state the nation is in and have started to prepare for difficult times ahead. So which are the smart ones?

You’re right, but when I used the word “smart” I was referring to what you are calling “wise”. The people who I call smart have common sense. Many if not most of the people who are book smart (with PhD’s, etc) are very stupid when it comes to everyday common sense, and they will largely be among those who don’t survive.

Smart people do not make good sheeple slaves and are too aggressive to remain at the bottom of any hierarchy. This would put the 1% of that 1% at odds and they must become harsh dictators to remain in control as a democracy is not what the top are hoping for. The stupid sheeple are what keeps these in top power. When they wipe out 7 billion they useless eaters, just took out their own front line infantry keeping the generals safe. These generals are stupid wanting nwo with 500 million only. They shall pay a steep price

Many of us here have been here for 10 years or more. And we have spoken around this issue often. Prepped and shared ideas etc. Few of us really thought it become reality. Even those that wished it. But yet here we are. And the time to fight is now. However, what will happen is the marxist and 1% recognize the enemy, us, are gearing up for war and are resolute to the end results no matter. This is why I am 100% guaranteeing you Trump wins. It will force many battle ready to back down and stand down while these fuckers continue to work their marxist battles behind in secrecy changing laws etc. But they will not fight fair and will only fight on their terms , turf, a when they know they have the advantage.

Mark my words. Trump is in no matter what. They are scared of real patriots waking up more than they are of trump….

Unless you believe the Founding Fathers re-founded human nature itself, America-as-it-now-is was essentially inevitable. ALL political systems lead to oligarchy, the only question being whether the oligarchy has a significant sense of loyalty to the population it rules, or whether they are in the game only for power and wealth.

A “benign oligarchy” is IMHO workable, but NOT in a political entity of 300+ million of increasingly diverse individuals. The USA is never going to be Switzerland, but it will be Brazil.

Preventing the collapse at this point would be insane. These useful idiots cannot be reprogrammed in a camp with or without torture. That leaves two options.
1. The Franco option.
2. Sell the survivors into perpetual slavery at the southern border. Bounties for their capture to be paid from the sale.
Spare me the “We can’t stoop that low” meme. We have and are currently still doing this very thing in N. and Central Africa and the Middle East. It’s happening in this country as we speak and is a bigger money maker than illicit drugs. It’s what is going to be done to us if we don’t counter strike soon. Waiting for an election is a fools game and they are counting on that very thing.

There is a natural order to all things whether we perceive them or not. The reason we have arrived at this crossroads is because we have experienced a period of stability and peace for so long that the organism itself has grown soft from disuse. We all know this on some fundamental level, but we also incline in the direction of senescence and decay because that is the destiny of all life. This phase of our cultural dissolution is terminal- the West as we’ve understood it for hundreds of years- is dying. Something will rise to replace it, something that will thrive because it will feed on the remains of what went before it and it will necessarily be masculine in nature, it will be productive and it will flourish because it rejects the old culture, not because it clings to it.

This too shall pass and for those who intend to make it through to the other side it should be viewed with optimism and hope. Those of us moving into the back forty of our lives have been blessed to be both the recipients of the best parts of Western culture at it’s apex, but due to the confluence of numerous 4th Turnings and cultural collapses, we also have a front row seat for the climax before the new shoots take off. We get to see both the reaping and the sowing.

I regret that PCR does not know the young people I do. The generation that will shoulder this enormous burden of both burying the old as well as in helping to deliver the new are to me, inspirational. They are fearless of the kinds of things that easily break the average American, they see through the falsehoods easily, they are not deceived and they are drawn to the important parts of the past; agrarianism, locality, family and nature. These foundations will set them up for a future we could only imagine while we bid adieu to so many troubling aspects of post-modernity.

The statues have been coming down forever, and yet they will be raised again.

George Floyd a misogynist? Not sure about that. A psychopath? Maybe. A criminal? Yes. Women do not deserve the same rights as men and aren’t equal to men. God intended it to be this way. If you disagree well then you are another fool who fell for the communistic lie of equality. God made things in the universe to be different, if not, this universe would be in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium. There would be no differences at that point and no need for the greater or lesser. Watch Yuri Bezmenov’s warning to America. Wake up.
