Most Americans don't understand what is going on in Syria, and those who
think they know believe its citizens are trying to overthrough the
(supposidly) represive government headed by (the democraticlly-elected)
Assad ...and that the Russians have been bombing the supposed freedom
fighters. All of this is propaganda spread by the crazed Americal
neoconsevatives who literally own the U.S. government and plan to
dominate the rest of the world ...or die destroying it (together with
all the rest of us) in a nuclear holocaust. Below, Paul Craig Roberts
explains what is REALLY going on in Syria and who is actually attacking
it. Hint: not Russia, who to the contrary is defending it from
ISIS/ISIL/Islamist State/ Daesh plus their providers, Washington, Saudi
Arabia, and Turkey. Read the history below to learn where things are
heading now.

Dear reader: This in my estimation is the most seminal article ever by
Paul Craig Roberts. Thus I've switched to large type, and I expect to
rerun it from time to time on my blog to catch the attentions of people
who miss it this time. The heart of this essay is that "Conspiracies are
real. There are many more of them than people are aware. Many
government conspiracies are heavily documented by governments themselves
with the official records demonstrating the conspiracies openly
available to the public." And "The charge, 'conspiracy theory,' is used
to prevent investigation." PCR then adds an enormous list of
distinguished scholars, and even former CIA officers, who are termed
"conspiracy theorists" because they easily see through the official
stories of false flag attacks created by the government to further
enable the military/industrial complex to carry out such unjustified
attacks in US and many countries abroad. PCR has the last word: "The

Paul Craig Roberts claims Michael Hudson to be "the best economist in
the world." I have always thought the two of them equal. Now I
understand the difference to be that Roberts studied classical economics
and put it to work back in the days of Ronald Reagan when the US
government was still 'of the people, by the people, and for the people.'
In contrast, Hudson did not plan to be an economist. However, having
learned from a friend "the flow of funds through the economic system and
explained how crises develop when debt outgrows the economy," He later
"learned more economics from his work experience than from his Ph.D.
courses," i.e., going to work on Wall Street and for several of the big
banks, finding "...that Western economies have been financialized in a
predatory way that sacrifices the public interest to the interests of
the financial sector. That is why the economy no longer works for
ordinary people. Finance is no longer productive. It has become a
parasite on the economy."
