Paul Craig Roberts Interview [JULY 2014]

Theoretically, if he is right and what we need is a write down (Jubilee)
Then how do we pull that trigger? Whisper in the Presidents' ear 'executive order' the day before he leaves the White House?

(Do it mister President, go out with a bang, Elaine Stritch would!)

like Hedges & Chomsky, among others call it for what it is, inverted totalianarism. TY for pointing out that PCR served under Reagan and helped with the BS trickle down...maybe when reality shows the error of their ways some actually do love country and not what it has become. I don't know.

Though I have to take solace from men like Lawrence Lessig joining forces with Chris Hedges & others calling out this unsustainable hijacking of gov't, and pointing to solutions.

K & R.

Left & right need to unite to truly turn this around, we need a united force to say enough is enough, and this is one thing everyone is waking up to. We CAN end this stranglehold.

Today is also the day I would be banned for considering globalresearch as legit a source as US MSM, it seems.

We all know how fast that can be turned around.

No…. What we need on behalf of the United States is the urgency of Greece without the disparity and ducking bullets.

It's our money by way of our labor. This is the cry that comes too late as a result of being SO asleep for SOOO long.

Neo-feudalism apparently hasn't had the needed effect for the rest of us to wake up, yet. When you listen to the interview, you get the idea that the EU has reached that point, we are looking over the edge of the precipice. Now, if we'd only look back to history as explained by it's people (thank you, Howard Zinn), then perhaps we could all step up to a fine revolution, rather than a bloody one.

the issue, and it can be dealt with once we get past left/right, and understand this is the defining issue of our time. We either deal with it or suffer the consequences of unbridled greed.
