Paul Craig Roberts: ‘Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make insane’

We live in a society on the brink of collapse yet still led by arrogance. Our overlords in Washington, along with its many vassal states, have carved out for themselves elitist positions from which they act as the sole proprietors and definers of a global system they call “democracy.” From their haughty perches in D.C., New York, London, Berlin, Paris and Brussels, they sit in judgment of others who don’t meet their increasingly warped criteria of what such “democracy” entails.

Our puppet politicians, egged on by their CFR-trained and Trilateral-tainted handlers, pump their chests with false bravado. Russia is the cause of your pain. Russia is bad. Putin is evil, they tell us.

Putin, the evil dictator, must be taken out before he takes over Europe, they scream, while spewing out dictates to harrass their own populations: Don’t eat meat. Don’t use natural gas. Don’t drive cars. Don’t fly. Don’t grow your own food. Don’t use cash. Don’t buy guns. Eat our bugs. Drink our flouride. Breathe our chemtrails. Inject our genetically modifying poison. Take our digital ID! And, if you do nothing else, you must allow us to corrupt the minds of your kids with sexual perversions that would make the ancient Babylonians blush.

“China is not our enemy!” says Washington’s commander in chief. “China is a ‘competitor.'” At the same time, these globalist elites profited by outsourcing our industrial base to our competitor’s shores. At some point, never openly discussed in the captured media, even critical medications like antibiotics started being made inside of this competitor’s sovereign boundaries. They say we must stop China from taking Taiwan, where we foolishly outsourced our computer chip-making capacity.

“Israel is our only ally in the Middle East and the only ‘democracy,’ in the region,” they say. We must protect it from the Arabs while also funneling ever-more sophisticated weapons to said Arabs.

“Iran is evil,” they say, after taking out the main counterbalance to Iran in the region, Iraq, and empowering the Iranian militias who now control Iraq.

The boogymen have been chosen, the weaponry has been dusted off. Troops and ships are on the move. They’re ready to fight.

The propaganda scripts have been crafted, and the bought-and-paid-for Western media are eager to deliver them to the willfully blind with all the emotive nuances of a well-trained actor.

Amid all of this bravado and inside this hollow shell of a society rests a death wish. They have nothing of strength with which to properly fight the selected boogymen. Read the words of Paul Craig Roberts below and let them sink in. Then let your mind wander, slowly, back through history. We are Rome on steroids. And the internal rot that took hundreds of years to destroy ancient Rome will spread much faster in modern, technologically advanced Rome/Babylon.

By Paul Craig Roberts

The prime minister of formerly “Great” Britain, an Indian named Sunak, along with Scholz and Macron, the non-entities who head Washington’s puppet states of Germany and France, and the non-entities in Norway, Finland, Poland and the rest of the militarily and economically impotent puppet governments that comprise the American Empire, declare their preparation for war with Russia.

What a joke!  None of these territories–they are so over-run by third world immigrant-invaders that they no longer rank as countries, just territories open for the taking–have confident nationalistic populations willing to lose their lives in defense of their subservience to Washington and their domestic oppression.

Can anyone seriously imagine Sweden, whose military-aged ethnic males are afraid to prevent immigrant-invaders’ rapes of ethnic Swedish women because they would be arrested for hate crimes, forming an army capable of facing Russian troops?  Or Germans for that matter, a task beyond the Wehrmacht, possibly the finest army in modern history.  Or the French–a task beyond Napoleon. Certainly not the Italians, again over-run, or the Dutch lost in sexual and drug lusts.

Or for that matter Americans.  Americans, whose main fighting element–Southern White Males–are racially discriminated against by Biden’s black Pentagon chief, who has prevented their promotions because “there are too many white officers,” have ceased to enlist.  After all, what Southern “heterosexual white supremacist racist,” as the Biden regime describes its would be recruits, wants to be denied promotion because of his race and, because of his race and “sexual preference,” be lorded over by black female commanders and homosexuals, and soon by transgendered and illegal immigrant-invaders.

I am confident that it is impossible for any Western country to be capable of fielding an army that would not be wiped out instantly by a Russian force, a Chinese force, or even by an Iranian force.  The last wars that the US won were against Spain in the 1890s and against Japan in 1945. After a 20-year effort, the US military was driven out of Afghanistan by a few thousand lightly-armed Taliban, just as it was driven out of Vietnam. I regret that this statement hurts the feelings of those who thought they were fighting for something important, but they were deceived for the profits of the military/security complex and for Washington’s hubris.

In the entirety of the Western World the belief system has been destroyed.  The destruction of essential beliefs has been going on since the 1960s when university students began their chant “Western Civilization has to go.”

Well, it is gone. All that remains of America is an insane government with nuclear weapons.

  1. I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
    -Proverbs 8:12 KJV
    Modern English: I wisdom am also prudent and discover information about clever conspiracies.

    It is astonishing how often the narrative including among Christians is a deceitful contradiction of what God has said.

    A while back I heard a radio preacher saying that it was foolish try to identify the Beast since we won’t be here. Yet the Holy Spirit says: Here is WISDOM. Let him that HAS UNDERSTANDING calculate the number of the BEAST…. -Revelation 13:18

    Who will sound the alarm to all of the vulnerable souls? Not the Tares! For Messiah has stated that the Tares shall be gathered first! Therefore I pray that I should be left behind and be granted wisdom and understanding… and courage.

  2. There are noble men and women who are in our military no matter how in the minority they are. I have one such family member in the Marines. I practically begged him not to re-enlist, but he told me his reasons and I had to respect him. My heart worries for him and give him to God to keep him and all of these noble men and women safe, but these evil demons want to use them as pawns in their global chess game.

  3. Well said. Let’s not forget that even in all those refugees that are foisted upon us, there are still those who need a savior, Jesus Christ. These are the times when we can be most effective, especially as annihilation draws near. Reminds me of the preacher who was on the Titanic, and as he tried to stay afloat & alive in the ice cold water, he managed to bring another brother to Christ in those few short minutes, before they both perished, and were born into their true home. Blessings.

  4. Wonderful as always, Leo. Thank you. I always so look forward to your articles. And thank you to Paul Craig Roberts, as well. Such insightful commentary from you both on today’s world. Jesus is going to call us home any minute. We see the signs happening all around us, faster and faster.

    People have always wondered why, when Israel is under such overwhelming attacks in the end times, that America doesn’t step up to her aid. Her only friend in the world is not even mentioned once in the end time battles. And the answer has always been that America is somehow made unable or unwilling to respond. But, how could that be true? How could the strongest country in the world be brought so low we would desert a friend to fight for her existence alone? She won’t be alone, though. God is guarding her. And with no earthly friends helping Israel, it will be so obvious that it is God alone who brings her through the battles.

    And we see now how easy it was for America to be brought so low. It only took about 2 yrs. for o’biden to destroy the once greatest country in the world. Such is God’s word.

    Thank you again, and may God keep you safe and writing!

  5. very true “nothing new under the sun” here this has all been coming
    together since the early 1960″s. and now everything is in place for
    the final push knowing that the dumb’d down and the afraid will do
    nothing to push back.
    soon if the upcoming election is somehow postponed or worse, and
    the market crashes they will have all but won. the point of no return
    is probably much closer than people care to admit living in their own
    little dream lands.

    1. Our country has been deliberately broken, in all ways. Our fighting forces have been emasculated, our leaders aren’t, we have been bankrupted, and a very large portion of our population has been blinded to God’s truth. And those of us who do know the truth will be taken to be with our Lord soon, leaving those blinded ones behind to contend with their own evil they have brought on themselves. And every bit of it is God’s word.

  6. Even those masterminding this chaos seem bonkers. Not just the megalomania but the lack of motive. If Bill Gates wipes out most of the population how will his lifestyle be any better? He’ll “own” most of North America but what good will it do him? Not like he’s into nature hikes or camping. If anything, he would be more restricted in his own goods and services. Right now, he and others are hiding.
    My guess is the elitists themselves aren’t sure of what they’re doing. The demons just want to kill a bunch of us after luring us into horrible sin first. But God is only allowing it to encourage people to repent. Facing the consequences of sin can be a real help for that.

      to happen. We are seeing the “birth pains” play out now as they get
      closer and closer before giving birth to the final 7 years. Everything

  7. Most days I feel like everything I believed was true my whole life, is a lie. It is very difficult to remain “happy” and functional day to day when our once great nation is rapidly and irreversibly failing. The corruption and demonic forces have taken over corporations, courts, healthcare, the military and education… and many of the “evangelical” churches have adopted woke theology.
    The weather modification has also been relentless where I live. The once blue sunny sky is now a hazy white-grey with abnormal low dark clouds. The sky is littered with crisscross chem trails. I pray we will be taken home soon.

    1. I understand your point. My generation (Reagan was my President growing up) believed in our country as we learned about our founding, the Constitution and what our country was supposed to be. I truly believe that is what is keeping people from seeing reality. It would be accepting that what we grew up believing was and is a lie.

    1. this is a defeatist attitude. hope in the rapture but we are here and we still need to stay the course and resist. I would encourage you in that while we have our breath, we are pray and seek God to extend His undeserved mercy to our land regardless of how little chance we have. May I remind you of how the odds were stacked against the 13 colonies against the worlds largest army. I encourage you to widen and broaden your heart and mind to see a God who has the capacity to save.

    2. So many believe one politician can fix things, yet, if they try, they get bumped off like JFK and others before him or after working in gov. Majority always have put their trust in certain candidates to fix things. I talked to a lady awhile back who dropped out of several patriot org. one has been around 65 years and other one since ’72 that have accomplished zero. I explained controlled opposition and encouraged her not to join anything incl 501c3 churches or civic groups/vets org. all are compromised social centers, otherwise why would this country be in the mess it’s in? People in border states are afraid to org. patriot militias to stop the flow over the border as crime increases. Demand impeachment of Myorkas and others incl congress members as traitors? I doubt if the truckers did much of anything effective. Borders were leaking when Trump was in office and presidents in the past. Congress is all the uniparty and will stand up for agenda 2030 completely.

  9. Thanks, Leo.
    One of the problems totalitarians have – although they are too immature or deficient to realise it – is that they have no opponents, having destroyed or ignored such. Hence, they have no challenges or boundaries and are free to embark on the crazy path unencumbered by knowledge of the consequences of their deeds. Of course, reality will manifest as surely as night follows day.
    We do have some responsibility – we allowed creeping stupidity and immorality to gain too much ground – perhaps hoping someone else would intervene.
    Nevertheless, it’s always appropriate to assert ourselves and our values whatever the crazy ones desire.
    Stay strong and wholesome.

    1. All of this darkness and plans for a one-world government (but it will only last seven years), makes me look forward more than ever to our Lord’s reign on earth from Jerusalem.

      Isaiah 11:6-9

      The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
      The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
      The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
      And a little child shall lead them.
      The cow and the bear shall graze;
      Their young ones shall lie down together;
      And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
      The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
      And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
      They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
      For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD
      As the waters cover the sea.

      Zechariah 14:16

      And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

      Micah 4:1-5

      Now it shall come to pass in the latter days
      That the mountain of the LORD’s house
      Shall be established on the top of the mountains,
      And shall be exalted above the hills;
      And peoples shall flow to it.
      Many nations shall come and say,
      “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
      To the house of the God of Jacob;
      He will teach us His ways,
      And we shall walk in His paths.”
      For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
      And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
      He shall judge between many peoples,
      And rebuke strong nations afar off;
      They shall beat their swords into plowshares,
      And their spears into pruning hooks;
      Nation shall not lift up sword against nation,
      Neither shall they learn war anymore.
      But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree,
      And no one shall make them afraid;
      For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
      For all people walk each in the name of his god,
      But we will walk in the name of the LORD our God
      Forever and ever.

      3. Anna, we will have all of eternity to praise, worship and adore our Savior, Jesus Christ. When I first read the Gospel {[ in a Christian magazine, left in the employee lounge where I worked — 45 years ago ]}, my exact thoughts were : ” This is too good to be true. I didn’t know God was so nice ! ” Well, every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before…. Don’t you agree ?

      4. I know, His mercy is so humbling. Yes, spending time with the Bridegroom makes each day sweeter. Pretty soon, Zelda, there will be a wedding and a feast! Sometimes even the thought of His love is almost incomprehensible. It’s amazing that before we became born again and felt His presence for the first time, He was always there, wooing us, waiting for us to take that first step. But even earlier than that: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you…”

        He pursues each one of us with His love.

        ” Where can I go from your Spirit?
        Where can I flee from your presence?
        If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
        if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.”

      6. Good question! We’re still in the birth pangs, so I don’t know how much we’ll see. Looking at these scriptures below, the signs and wonders seem to precede the Lord’s return to earth at the end of the tribulation.

        Those blood moons we had several years ago were amazing. I didn’t see anything unusual on the astronomical chart for this year. You never know! We’ve had one or two close asteroids fly by that weren’t expected. There was a point too, where the moon and three or four planets were aligned last year or the year before – very unusual!

        Joel 2
        30 “And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth:
        Blood and fire and pillars of smoke.
        31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
        And the moon into blood,
        Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

        Matthew 24
        29 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

        Luke 21
        25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
