The Police Threat Is Too High
by Paul Craig Roberts | Jan 10, 2015 | Featured Articles

Regime Change in Cuba
by Paul Craig Roberts | Dec 19, 2014 | Featured Articles

Washington Is Destroying The World
by Paul Craig Roberts | Oct 7, 2014 | Featured Articles

Washington’s War Against Russia
by Paul Craig Roberts | Sep 15, 2014 | Featured Articles

by Paul Craig Roberts | Jun 29, 2014 | Featured Articles
The Cold War made a lot of money for the military/security complex for four decades dating from Churchill’s March 5, 1946 speech in Fulton, Missouri declaring a Soviet “Iron Curtain” until Reagan and Gorbachev ended the Cold War in the late 1980s. During the Cold War...
What Obama Told Us At West Point
by Paul Craig Roberts | Jun 2, 2014 | Featured Articles

Washington Has Discredited America
by Paul Craig Roberts | Dec 19, 2013 | Featured Articles
