It's Official: Washington Is Insane
By Paul Craig Roberts
In the 21st Century the 200-year-old propaganda that the American people control their government has been completely shattered. Both the Bush and Obama regimes have made it unmistakably clear that the American people don't even influence, much less control, the government. As far as Washington is concerned, the people are nothing but chaff in the wind.
Polls demonstrate that 65% of the US population opposes US intervention in Syria. Despite this clear indication of the people's will, the Obama regime is ramping up a propaganda case for more arming of Washington's mercenaries sent to overthrow the secular Syrian government, and for a "no-fly zone" over Syria, which, if Libya is the example, means US or NATO aircraft attacking the Syrian army on the ground, thus serving as the air force of Washington's imported mercenaries, euphemistically called "the Syrian Rebels."
Washington declared some time ago that the "Red Line" that would bring Syria under Washington's military attack was the Assad government's use of chemical weapons of mass destruction against Washington's mercenaries. Once this announcement was made, everyone with a brain immediately knew that Washington would fabricate false intelligence that Assad had used chemical weapons, just as Washington presented to the United Nations the intentional lie via Secretary of State Colin Powell that Saddam Hussain in Iraq had dangerous weapons of mass destructions. Remember National Security Advisor Condi Rice's image of a "mushroom cloud over American cities?" Propagandists lies were Washington's orders of the day. And they still are. Now Washington has fabricated the false intelligence, and President Obama, with a straight face, has announced that Syria's Assad has used sarin gas on several occasions, and that between 100 and 150 "of his own people" - a euphemism for the US-supplied foreign mercenaries - have been killed by the weapon of mass destruction.
Think about that for a minute. As unfortunate as is any death from war, are 100-150 deaths "mass destruction?" According to low-ball estimates, the US-sponsored foreign mercenary invasion of Syria has cost 93,000 lives, of which 150 deaths amounts to about 1/6 of 1%. In other words, 92,850 of the deaths did not cross the "red line." But 150 did, allegedly. Yes, I know. Washington's position makes no sense. But when has it ever made sense? Let's stretch our minds just a tiny bit further. Assad knows about Washington's "red line." It has been repeated over and over in order to create in the minds of the distracted American public that there is a real, valid reason for attacking Syria. Why would Assad use the proscribed weapons of mass destruction in order to kill a relatively small number of mercenaries when his army is mopping up the US mercenaries without the use of gas, and when Assad knows that the use of gas brings in the US military against him?
The Russians certainly know that Washington is lying. The Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said: 'The [Assad] government, as the opposition is saying openly, is enjoying success on the ground. The [Assad] regime isn't driven to the wall. What sense is there for the regime to use chemical weapons - especially on such a small scale?"
Here in America no one will ever hear straight talk like this from the US pressitutes. Orwel-lian double-talk is now the language of the United States government. Secretary of State John Kerry condemned Assad for harming "peace talks" while the US arms its Syrian mercenaries. Washington's double talk is now obvious to the World. Not only Assad, but also the Russians, Chinese, and Iranians, and every US puppet state which includes all of NATO and Japan, are fully aware that Washington is lying again. The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are trying to avoid confrontation with Washington, as war with modern weapons would destroy all life on Earth. What is striking is that despite 24-7 brainwashing by the pressitutes, a large majority of the American population opposes Obama's war on Syria. This is good news. It means more Americans are developing the ability to think independently and do not buy the lies Washington is feeding them.
Russia and China, having learned their lesson, are protesting Washington's assault on Syria that Washington pretends is a "civil war." If Syria falls, Russia and China know that Iran is next. Iran is Russia's underbelly-and-for China, Iran is 20% of its energy imports. Both Russian and Chinese governments know that after Iran falls, they are next. There is no other explana-tion for Washington surrounding Russia with missile bases and surrounding China with naval and air bases. Both Russia and China are now preparing for the war they see as inevitable. Washington's crazed, demented drive for world hegemony is bringing unsuspecting Americans up against two countries with hydrogen bombs whose combined population is five times the US population. In such a conflict - everyone dies.
