Una entrevista con Paul Craig Roberts. En sustancia: Trump va por libre, no sólo sin las bendiciones del Establishment corrupto (Partido Demócrata y establishment Republicano, grandes financieros, CIA, FBI, lobbies y magnates y sus peones, Clinton, Obama y demás) sino declarándoles la guerra por corromper la democracia americana. Le montan persecuciones judiciales, pero tiene tanto apoyo que quizá esto no baste y opten por asesinarlo como ya hicieron con Kennedy.

Against
the backdrop of a deteriorating domestic situation in the United
States, new criminal charges against Donald Trump, and the approach of
the 2024 presidential election campaign, the GEOFOR editorial board
asked Paul Craig Roberts, Chairman of the Institute for Political
Economy (USA), a PhD in Economics and US Undersecretary of Treasury in
the Reagan Administration, to share his views on the future of America.

GEOFOR: Donald Trump is facing new charges and, this
time, he is accused of holding classified documents. How dangerous is
the new criminal case for Trump?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: On the basis of the facts,
the case is not dangerous, because it is a fabrication. US presidents
have the right to declassify documents simply by saying that they are
declassified. All former US presidents have such documents. Otherwise
they would not be able to write their memoirs, because so much is
needlessly classified.
This prosecution, following Russiagate (now disproved by the Special
Counsel), two attempted impeachments that failed in the Senate, January 6
insurrection (a hoax organized by the FBI), and the New York State
prosecution for allegedly reporting extortion money to a porn star
(there is no truth to the allegation) as a legal expense instead of a
campaign contribution, has convinced Trump’s supporters, who are a
majority of voters, that these attempts against Trump are illegitimate.
Trump’s support among voters is now so high, helped by the Democrat’s
weaponization of law, that Biden has zero chance of winning the
presidential election if Trump is the Republican candidate. As more
evidence has been revealed that Trump’s reelection was definitely stolen
from him by the Democrat-controlled election procedures in a few large
cities in a few “swing states,” which are states that sometime vote
Republican, sometimes Democrat, Trump’s majority has grown larger.
The danger for Trump is the same danger that Nikolai Bukharin and the
original Bolsheviks faced from Stalin. Stalin controlled the
prosecutorial process. The Democrats in New York control the State legal
system and can bring as many false charges as they please. They will
have no problem selecting a jury that will convict. It is unclear
whether the Democrats intend to convict or just to prevent Trump from
running.
Similarly, with the Executive Branch in their hands, Democrats
control the Federal prosecutorial process. They are able to accuse Trump
of an offense which he cannot be guilty, while overlooking that Biden
has possession of classified documents dating from his Vice President
days (vice presidents do not have power to declassify documents) and
Hillary Clinton had classified documents on her personal computer while
she was Secretary of State, a violation of law. So Americans can see
that two Democrats who are actually guilty of violating law are not
prosecuted, while President Trump who has the power to declassify is
prosecuted.
It is important to understand the real reason for the seven year old
assault on Trump. Listen to Trump’s inaugural speech. He declared war on
the American Establishment, an elite oligarchy. He made an instant
enemy of the CIA and the security agencies by declaring his intent “to
normalie relations with Russia.” CIA Director John Brennan immediately
declared Trump to be a “traitor to America.” Why? Because to normalize
relations with Russia was to take away the enemy that justifies the
enormous budget and power of the military/security complex.
Trump also declared war on the Establishment in general, saying that
he intended to take power away from them and give it back to the people
where it belongs in a democracy. This was unacceptable to the oligarchy.
Keep in mind that most Republican politicians are also members of the
Establishment. They represent the interest groups, such as the
military/security complex, the pharmaceutical industry, agribusiness,
energy, etc., who make the campaign contributions that elect Congress
and the President. For example, the Republican leader in the Senate is a
known enemy of Trump.
The result is that Trump has massive support from the voters, but not
from the Republican Party. But it is not the people who have the power.
The media reports that Trump faces a 37 count indictment and 400
years in prison is propaganda aimed at convincing Americans that Trump
is a major criminal. But the 37 counts are all rewordings of the same
false charge of unauthorized possession of classified documents.
It is unclear whether a US president can be imprisoned. Federal law
requires all former presidents to have the protection of two Secret
Service agents for their lifetime. As it is impossible to put Secret
Service agents in prison, how can a former president be imprisoned?
What we are experiencing in the US is the rise of a Gestapo state in
which the current president, Biden, is grossly interfering in a
presidential election by prosecuting his rival who is without any doubt
far ahead according to all polls despite the propaganda against him that
is repeated endlessly by the presstitute media.
GEOFOR: The way Trump is running his campaign today
is impressive, and in comparison to Biden and the other candidates, he
looks at least decent. What do you think are Trump’s realistic prospects
in 2024?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Unless Trump is somehow
prevented from running–I do not rule out Trump’s assassination by the
CIA/FBI–and unless the Democrats are again able to steal the election,
Trump will win by the largest majority in American history. Polls show
that Biden is so far behind, that it is impossible for the Democrats to
steal the election. As Trump is unacceptable to the military/security
complex and the Ruling Establishment, he runs a high risk of
assassination.
GEOFOR: The 2024 elections are inexorably
approaching. In 2020, the presidential race took place against the
background of mass protests by the Black Lives Matter movement, which
was sponsored by the Democrats. In January 2021, Republican protesters
stormed the Capitol. What should America and the world expect next year?
How big is the risk of a social explosion in the United States on the
eve of or after the elections?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: Black Lives Matter is, in my
opinion, a Democrat/George Soros financed group of Brownshirts used for
political purposes. It is propaganda that “Republican protesters
stormed the Capitol.” Trump and his supporters were a mile or more
distant at the Washington Monument where Trump was speaking. As videos
of the Capitol released by House Speaker McCarthy clearly show, the
police opened the doors to the Capitol and escorted the few
“protesters,” many of whom were apparently federal agents, around inside
the Capitol. The one act of violence was the black Capitol policeman
who gratuitously for no reason shot a female military veteran,
apparently in order to create a news propaganda basis for violence and
insurrection.
As Democrats have shown that they have no integrity and no shame, and
as they control federal law enforcement and face no accountability from
the media, they can produce whatever violent events they think serve
their purpose. Such an orchestrated event could be used to provoke
violence from Trump supporters, but the Trump supporters are not
organized for violence. They have no Antifa or Black Lives Matter
Brownshirts. “White supremacists” are largely fictional. Oath Keepers
are military veterans focused on defending the US Constitution, not on
committing violence. There are no Republican groups looting and burning
business centers of US cities.
It is unclear whether an orchestrated false conviction of Trump or
another stolen election would result in a real uprising from the
American majority. As Trump’s supporters see him as the last chance for
America, they might simply conclude that the people are helpless in the
face of the tyranny and their own demonization that is rising in America
and walk away resigned to the rising Gestapo States of America.
GEOFOR: As always, we cannot but ask a question
about the economy. Fitch analysts stated in their recent forecast that
the U.S. economy will continue to slow down. The domestic political
risks are also taking their toll… How would you comment on such
assessments and what is your prognosis?
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: US economic statistics are
so manipulated that it is difficult to know what the situation is. The
central bank is trying to correct a decade of easy money with a
restrictive policy that is reducing the prices of existing assets,
endangering banks and commercial real estate, and adding to the debt
burdens of consumers. Additionally the US dollar as a result of
sanctions and theft of Russia’s central bank reserves is experiencing a
diminished role as world reserve currency. This diminished role
jeopardizes the foreign financing of US trade and budget deficits. As
long as other countries settled their trade differences in US dollars
and the Saudis billed in dollars for their oil, foreign central banks
had incentives to keep their reserves in the form of US Treasuries, thus
financing US trade and budget deficits. The move away from the dollar
means that the foreign demand for dollars is falling, but the supply
continues to increase as a result of US trade and budget deficits. The
implication is a decrease in the exchange value of the dollar. As the US
has offshored its manufacturing and is import-dependent, a fall in the
dollar’s value means a sharp rise in US inflation and a sharp fall in US
living standards. In other words, the prospects for the American
economy are far worse than a mere recession.
