(Early

Sunday Release)

Former Assistant Treasury Secretary Dr. Paul
Craig Roberts is worried about nuclear war with
China and Russia. Dr. Roberts warns, “It’s clear
Russia doesn’t want war. China doesn’t want
war, but because of the recklessness of the Bush

and Obama regimes, both China and Russia have been upgrading their
strategic nuclear forces. Russia has not only been upgrading its nuclear
forces very rapidly, but Russia has been running its strategic bombers into
our airspace to test our reaction times. . . . What’s important is Washington
has telegraphed to two major nuclear powers, Russia and China, that it
intends to attack them, and that’s what the fools have done in Washington.
All the threat of nuclear war had ended when Reagan and Gorbachev made
their agreements, and now this fool in the White House has brought this
threat back.”

Dr. Roberts also thinks the new retaliatory sanctions imposed by Russia on
agricultural products from the West have countries, such as Germany,
having second thoughts. Dr. Roberts says, “We now have . . . the main

financial newspaper in Germany, it’s like the Wall Street Journal, come out
with a very strong statement from the editor in chief and say that the
direction that the United States was pushing things is contrary to common
sense, and contrary to the interests of Germany. . . . Therefore, this is a
break in the ranks, and this is probably the most important newspaper in
Europe.”

On the speculation of Russia invading Ukraine, Dr. Roberts says, “I think the
talk about Russia invading is the American military security complex, so they
can beef up their budgets and have more taxpayer monies allocated to the
military security complex. It’s propaganda. Dr. Roberts goes on to say,
“Russia is not going to invade anyone, and I don’t think they are going turn
off the gas, unless the Europeans allow themselves to be pressured again
into further sanctions by Washington. If that happens, I think the Russians
most likely will call up the European capitals and say look, you’re going to get
your gas turned off if you don’t find your own independent foreign policy and
deal with us like grownups.”

On the question of the economy failing, Dr. Roberts, who holds a PhD in
economics, says, “Whatever blows, it has to be something the government
can’t rig. The only way it could stop means the government can no longer
rig it. It is such a huge pile of cards that if they can’t keep it rigged, a lot is
coming down in a hurry.” So, what’s going to be the trigger? Roberts thinks
it will be when the world abandons the U.S. dollar. How long can the
economy be propped up? Dr. Roberts says “It will continue as long as it is
tolerated. When will it cease to be tolerated? I think it will be when there is a
general flight from the dollar. . . Once the general mood changes, and not
just by gold investors, and people cease to hold dollars, then this won’t
work. It will fail, and at that time, it will be almost impossible to get into gold.
There just isn’t enough to absorb a major flight from a currency as large as
the dollar. The dollar is just a huge currency.”

About the 4% GDP growth in 2nd quarter, Dr. Roberts says, “There is a lot of
pressure on them because that can be a black swan event. You get a
second negative quarter and you are talking about recession, and then you
got people asking why are stocks so high? Then, people start bailing out of
stocks, and since it’s rigged, you don’t know how big the crash will be. I don’t
know if we can expect an honest (GDP) number. I do know that nothing has
happened since the forces that produced the negative first quarter. There
has been no growth in consumer incomes. There has been no growth in
consumer credit. We see not only middle class stores like Sears, Macy’s and
JC Penny’s being closed, but now we see it’s the dollar stores that are
failing. That tells you people don’t even have enough money to keep the
dollar stores in operation. So, where did 4% growth come from?”

In closing, Dr. Roberts says, “China and Russia are not a threat, but the
United States and neo-conservatives say we are chosen by history as
exceptional and indispensable, and we have a right and responsibility to
establish our system over the world. This is the cause of all of these wars.
It’s the cause of all of this antagonism against Russia because they are a
rising power. How can you have hegemony if you have another rising power
or two rising powers such as China and Russia? So, we have to knock down
these rising powers. That’s what all the conflict is coming from. . . . They
are creating an ideology that is endangering the whole world.” Join Greg
