Key
points from the article by Paul Craig Roberts
“In an
article published by Op-Ed News, Eric Zuesse supports my reports of
indications that Washington is preparing for a nuclear first strike
against Russia.

“US
war doctrine has been changed. US nuclear weapons are no longer
restricted to a retaliatory force, but have been elevated to the role
of preemptive nuclear attack. Washington pulled out of the
Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with Russia and is developing and
deploying an ABM shield. Washington is demonizing Russia and Russia’s
President with shameless lies and propaganda, thus preparing the
populations of the US and its client states for war with Russia.”
“Washington
has been convinced by neoconservatives that Russian strategic nuclear
forces are in run down and unprepared condition and are sitting ducks
for attack. This false belief is based on out-of-date information,
a decade old, such as the argument presented in 'The Rise of U.S.
Nuclear Primacy' by Keir A. Lieber and Daryl G. Press in the April
2006 issue of Foreign Affairs, a publication of the Council on
Foreign Relations, an organization of American elites.

“Regardless
of the condition of Russian nuclear forces, the success of
Washington’s first strike and degree of protection provided by
Washington’s ABM shield against retaliation, the article I posted
by Steven Starr, 'The Lethality of Nuclear Weapons,' makes clear that
nuclear war has no winners. Everyone dies.

“In
an article published in the December 2008 issue of Physics Today,
three atmospheric scientists point out that even the substantial
reduction in nuclear arsenals that the Strategic Offensive Reductions
Treaty hoped to achieve, from 70,000 warheads in 1986 to 1700-2200
warheads by the end of 2012, did not reduce the threat that nuclear
war presents to life on earth. The authors conclude that in addition
to the direct blast effects of hundreds of millions of human
fatalities, 'the indirect effects would likely eliminate the majority
of the human population.' The stratospheric smoke from firestorms
would cause nuclear winter and agricultural collapse. Those who did
not perish from blast and radiation would starve to death.

Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev understood this. Unfortunately,
no successor US government has. As far as Washington is concerned,
death is what happens to others, not to 'the exceptional people.'
(The SORT agreement apparently failed. According to the Stockholm
International Peace Research Institute, the nine nuclear-armed states
still possess a total of 16,300 nuclear weapons.

“Washington
has begun the run up to the Third World War, and Europeans seem to be
on board. As recently as November 2012 NATO Secretary General
Rasmussen said that NATO does not regard Russia as an enemy. Now that
the White House Fool and his European vassals have convinced Russia
that the West is an enemy, Rasmussen declared that 'we must adapt to
the fact that Russia now considers us its adversary' by beefing up
Ukraine’s military along with those of Eastern and Central Europe.”
“Having
lost 'the war on terror' in Iraq and Afghanistan, Washington needs a
replacement and has set about resurrecting the Cold War. This is
probably how the armaments industry, its shills, and part of
Washington sees it. But the neoconservatives are more ambitious.
They are not pursuing merely more profits for the military/security
complex. Their goal is Washington’s hegemony over the world, which
means reckless actions such as the strategic threat that the Obama
regime, with the complicity of its European vassals, has brought to
Russia in Ukraine.”
“Russia
has witnessed Washington change the role of nuclear weapons in its
war doctrine from deterrent to preemptive first strike. And now
Russia listens to a daily stream of lies from the West and witnesses
the slaughter by Washington’s vassal in Kiev of civilians in
Russian Ukraine, branded 'terrorists' by Washington, by such weapons
as white phosphorus with not a peep of protest from the West.”
“The
movie, The Matrix, is a true depiction of life in the West. The
population lives in a false reality created for them by their rulers.
A handful of humans have escaped the false existence and are
committed to bringing humans back to reality. They rescue Neo, 'The
One,' who they believe correctly to have the power to free humans
from the false reality in which they live. Morpheus, the leader of
the rebels, explains to Neo: 'The Matrix is a system, Neo. That
system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what
do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very
minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these
people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our
enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to
be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent
on the system, that they will fight to protect it.'”
“The
Matrix even encompasses part of the Russian and Chinese population,
especially those educated in the West and those susceptible to
Western propaganda, but on the whole those populations know the
difference between lies and truth. The problem for Washington is that
the propaganda that prevails over the Western peoples does not
prevail over the Russian and Chinese governments.”
“How
do you think China reacts when Washington declares the South China
Sea to be an area of US national interests, allocates 60 percent of
its vast fleet to the Pacific, and constructs new US air and naval
bases from the Philippines to Vietnam?”
“Keep
that firmly in mind as Washington and its media whores continue to
beat the drums for war. Keep in mind also that a long history proves
beyond all doubt that everything Washington and the presstitute media
tells you is a lie serving an undeclared agenda. You cannot rectify
the situation by voting Democrat instead of Republican or by voting
Republican instead of Democrat.”
