Paul Craig Roberts on Empire, Official Lies, and Public Delusions —
22 May 2013 —
Paul Craig Roberts' personal history as a power-structure insider suggests that he should be on the side of those who run the US empire. And indeed, in many previous interviews he has often avoided the really difficult topics. But here he lets it all out, throwing a flurry of a bare-knuckle punches at the establishment. In a noteworthy moment, he explains why the official story of 9/11 cannot possibly be right. He also laments the delusional state of most people in the US, where even the most educated and politically active cannot wrap their brains around the true state of things. (GP comment: Interview is from late 2012 but is still 100% relevant.)
Charles Hugh Smith: Taking on Empire with Soft Power —
23 May 2013—
As the glove slips quietly off the iron fist of ruling power, Charles Hugh Smith thinks there is little to gain by confronting the corrupt ruling structure with violence-based tactics. Rather, he sees mass disengagement from the system as the way to bring it down. James Howard Kunstler adds that he hopes for the day when all US citizens with student debt will organize and choose a day to simply all stop payments.
Andrew Gause on Gold, Energy, and Collapse vs. Boom —
05 Jun 2013 —
Andrew Gause's topics include ... collapse or correction in gold; "paper gold" risks; privacy vs. tracking and control; the ups and downs of fracking in Texas. (GP comment: Gause is very good on financial matters; not so good on energy matters. The only way the US will be energy independent by 2018 is if fuel demand has fallen by 60%. And if something has caused that to happen, well, good luck to us all. )
