Paul Craig Roberts "Integrity has vanished from the West"
Paul Craig Roberts "Integrity has vanished from the West"
"Think about the alleged
poisoning of Skirpal by Russia. What can this be other than an
orchestrated effort to demonize the president of Russia? How can the
West be so outraged over the death of a former double-agent, that is, a
deceptive person, and completely indifferent to the millions of peoples
destroyed by the West in the 21st century alone. Where is the outrage
among Western peoples over the massive deaths for which the West, acting
through its Saudi agent, is responsible in Yemen? Where is the Western
outrage among Western peoples over the deaths in Syria? The deaths in
Libya, in Somalia, Pakistan, Ukraine, Afghanistan? Where is the outrage
in the West over the constant Western interference in the internal
affairs of other countries? How many times has Washington overthrown a
democratically-elected government in Honduras and reinstalled a
Washington puppet?
The corruption in the West
extends beyond politicians, presstitutes, and an insouciant public to
experts. When the ridiculous Condi Rice, national security adviser to
president George W. Bush, spoke of Saddam Hussein’s non-existent weapons
of mass destruction sending up a nuclear cloud over an American city,
experts did not laugh her out of court. The chance of any such event was
precisely zero and every expert knew it, but the corrupt experts held
their tongues. If they spoke the truth, they knew that they would not
get on TV, would not get a government grant, would be out of the running
for a government appointment. So they accepted the absurd lie designed
to justify an American invasion that destroyed a country.
This is the West. There is
nothing but lies and indifference to the deaths of others. The only
outrage is orchestrated and directed against a target: the Taliban,
Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Iran, Assad, Russia and Putin, and against
reformist leaders in Latin America. The targets for Western outrage are
always those who act independently of Washington or who are no longer
useful to Washington’s purposes."
