[Koran-Digital] Paul Craig : THE NEW TYRANNY: Does The West Have A Future?

THE NEW TYRANNY: Does The West Have A Future?



by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts



Global Research, May 10, 2012





Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral

conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence. Consider:



We have had a second fake underwear bomb plot, a much more fantastic one

than the first hoax. The second underwear bomber was a CIA operative or

informant allegedly recruited by al-Qaeda, an organization that US

authorities have recently claimed to be defeated, in disarray, and no

longer significant.



This defeated and insignificant organization, which lacks any science

and technology labs, has invented an "invisible bomb" that is not

detected by the porno-scanners. A "senior law enforcement source" told

the New York Times that "the scary part" is that "if they built one,

they probably built more."



Secretary of State Hillary Clinton declared that "the plot itself

indicates that the terrorists keep trying to devise more and more

perverse and terrible ways to kill innocent people." Hillary said this

while headlines proclaimed that the US continues to murder woman and

children with high-tech drones in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, and

Africa. The foiled fake plot, Hillary alleged, serves as "a reminder as

to why we have to remain vigilant at home and abroad in protecting our

nation and in protecting friendly nations and peoples like India and

others."



FBI Director Robert Mueller told Congress that the fake plot proves the

need for warrantless surveillance in order to detect--what, fake plots?

In Congress Republican Pete King and Democrat Charles Ruppersberger

denounced media for revealing that the plot was a CIA operation,

claiming that the truth threatened the war effort and soldiers' lives.



Even alternative news media initially fell for this fake plot.

Apparently, no one stops to wonder how al Qaeda, which has become so

disorganized and helpless that it is on the run and left its revered

leader, Osama bin Laden, in a Pakistan village alone and unguarded to be

murdered by US Navy Seals, could catch the CIA off guard with an

"undetectable" bomb, to use the description provided by Senate

Intelligence Committee chairman Dianne Feinstein, who was briefed on the

device by US intelligence personnel.



Notice that the Secretary of State has committed the bankrupt US and its

unravelling social safety net to the protection of "India and others"

from terrorists. But the real significance of this latest hoax is to

introduce into the fearful American public the idea of an undetectable

underwear bomb.



What does this bring to mind? Anyone of my generation or any science

fiction aficionado immediately thinks of Robert Heinlein's The Puppet

Masters.



Written in 1951 but set in our time, Earth is invaded by small creatures

that attach to the human body and take over the person. The humans

become the puppets of their masters. Large areas of America succumb to

the invaders before the morons in Washington understand that the

invasion is real and not a conspiracy theory.



On clothed humans, the creatures cannot be detected, and the edict goes

out that anyone clothed is a suspect. Everyone must go about naked.

Women are not even allowed to carry purses in their hand, because the

creature can be in the purse attached to the woman's hand.



Obviously, if the CIA, the news sources, and Dianne Feinstein's briefers

are correct that defeated al-Qaeda has come up with an "undetectable"

bomb, we will have to pass through airport security naked.



If so, how will this be possible? If each airline passenger must go

through a personal screening by disrobing in a room, how long will it

take to clear "airport security"? I doubt

there is any place in North or South American that the traveller

couldn't drive there faster. Or perhaps this is an answer to depression

level US unemployment. Millions of unemployed Americans will be hired to

view naked people before they board airliners.



As the Transportation Safety Administration division of Homeland

Security has taken its intrusions, unchallenged, into train, bus, and

highway travel, are we faced with the total collapse of the clothing

industry? Stay tuned.



A couple of years ago a noted philosopher wrote an article in which he

suggested that Americans live in an artificial or virtual reality.

Another noted philosopher said that he thought there was a 25% chance

that the philosopher was right. I am convinced that he is right.

Americans live in the Matrix. Nothing that they know or think that they

know is correct.



For example, our non-truth-telling "leaders" continually declare that

"Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East." This myth is one of

the many reasons rolled out to justify American taxpayers' declining

incomes being taxed to provide the Israeli government with the means to

murder Palestinians and steal their country.



Israeli democracy a myth you say? Yes, a myth. According to news reports

compiled and reported by Antiwar.com (May 8), the September 4 Israeli

elections have been cancelled, because the "opposition leader Shaul

Mofaz is joining the government."



Mofaz sold out his party for personal power, a typical politician's

behavior.



Mofaz's treachery produced protests from his followers, but, according

to news reports, "israeli police were quick to crack down on the

protest, terming it 'illegal' and arresting a number of journalists."



Ah, "Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East."



In truth Israel is a fascist state, one that has been in violation of

international law and Christian morality during the entirely of its

existence. Yet, in America Israel is a hallowed icon. Like Bush, Cheney,

and Obama, millions of American "christians" worship Israel and believe

it is "God's calling" for Americans to die for Israel.



If you believe in murdering your opponents, not debating with them,

dispossessing the powerless, creating a fictional world based on lies

and paying the corporate media to uphold the lies and fictional world,

you are part of what the rest of the world perceives as "The West."



Let me back off from being too hard on The West. The French and Greek

peoples have shown in the recent elections that they are unplugging from

the Matrix and understand that they, the 99%, are being put by their

elites in a position to be the sacrificial lambs for the mistakes of the

1% mega-rich, who compete with one another in terms of how many billions

of dollars or euros, how many yachts, collections of exotic cars, and

exotic Playboy and Penthouse centerfolds they have as personal possessions.



The central banks of the West--the US Federal Reserve, the European

Central Bank, and the UK bank--are totally committed to the prosperity

of the mega-rich. No one else counts. Marx and Lenin never had a target

as exists today. Yet, the left-wing is today so feeble and brainwashed

that it does not exist as even a minor countervailing power. The

American left-wing has even accepted the absurd official account of 9/11

and of Osama bin Laden's murder in Pakistan by Navy Seals. A movement so

devoid of mental and emotional strength is useless. It might as well not

exist.



People without valid information are helpless, and that is where Western

peoples are. The new tyranny is arising in the West, not in Russia and

China. The danger to humanity is in the nuclear button briefcase in the

Oval Office and in the brainwashed and militant Amerikan population, the

most totally disinformed and ignorant people on earth.
