The American Dilemma
Paul Craig Roberts

The problem that ethnic Americans face is that neither Republicans nor Democrats can represent their interest.

The Republicans represent Israel’s interest.  The reason for this is that Republicans tend to be more conservative, more religious, and more patriotic than Democrats and are often seen by their opponents as jingoistic. The Republican mentality toward Israel comes from the “Judeo-Christian ethic” and the long Cold War against the Soviet Union.

The Judeo-Christian ethic is an oxymoron.  God in the Old Testament is angry and vengeful.  In the New Testament he is loving and forgiving. The “Judeo-Christian ethnic” is a propaganda term that disarms Christians from seeing Zionists for what they are.

During the Cold War of the 20th century, there was much focus on the Middle East. Washington was determined to minimize Soviet influence and to control oil flows.  Israel was hyped as our ally, our base in the Arab Middle East against Soviet Communism.  Thus, for conservatives, Israel is just part of America.  

Two consequences are that conservative Americans are blind to Zionist Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians and to the fake “war on terror” which in actual fact was Israel’s use of American lives and money against Israel’s opponents in the Middle East.  Washington has spent the first quarter of the 21st century clearing away obstacles to Greater Israel.

The Democrats represent the interests of those who are alleged to be “oppressed by prudes and white racists.”  Democrats are the defenders of immigrant-invaders who enter our country illegally.  They champion “multiculturalism,” which is white replacement and a Tower of Babel. 

Democrats are the champions of sexual perverts.  It is more important to a progressive, liberal, leftist Democrat that a male who declares himself a female have access to women’s spaces and athletic competitions than for a criminal suspect to have a fair trial.  Democrats think that the most important civil right in the world is for biological males who self-declare themselves “transgendered” into females to take a woman’s place on a swim or soccer team and share the showers with the biological female members of the teams.  

The Democrats have no concern with the rights of the displaced real women to compete in sports.  Similarly, Democrats are concerned with the sexual preference rights of “minor-directed persons” (pedophiles), not with the sexual abuse of children.  Have you not noticed how vehement the Democrat progressive liberal left is in defending the rights of sexual perverts?  Indeed, you are not even allowed to use such a term as sexual perverts, because  sexual perversions have been normalized by the Democrat liberal left.  It is entirely possible that the Democrats will criminalize heterosexual sex, because it produces more “aversive racists,” thus perpetuating white racism.  Yes, laugh, but the prospect has already been explored in science fiction.

The consequence of the two parties’ indoctrinated biases is that it is impossible for either to represent the values and interests of the ethnic base of America.  By supporting whatever crime Israel commits, Republicans maintain their pro-Israel base at the expense of the moral values of their base.  Even red states such as Texas and Florida will not give you a state contract or job if you criticize or boycott Israel.

The Democrats, committed as they are to white replacement as all whites are aversive racists, refuse to protect American borders from immigrant-invaders.  Democrats are committed to emptying citizenship from meaning.

What is the result of the inability of either party to represent Americans?

If Republicans are in office, it means wars for Israel.

If Democrats are in office, it means open borders and wars against the family, wars against real Christianity not the fake Christian Zionist variety created by Israel, wars against normal heterosexuality, wars against merit and, thereby, the destruction of educational standards, and advancement based on skin color and perverse sexuality.  For the Biden regime the ideal candidate was a black transgendered. Biden’s black Secretary of Defense announced that there would be no promotion of white heterosexual males until “equity had been attained.”

Elon Musk was correct when he said that America needs a new political party, one independent of economic, foreign, and ideological interests.  But Musk did not say who would finance it.  It would take Musk’s entire wealth.  

The combination of the corrupt US Supreme Court ruling that it is legal for corporations to purchase the US government with campaign contributions and the stupidity of the annual subsidy of billions of US dollars to Israel, which is used by Israel to purchase the House of Representatives, the US Senate, the President and the  administration, make it abundantly clear that Americans have a government that is totally incapable of representing Americans.

Throughout the Western World it is not democracy that rules.  The Western World is ruled by vested interests whose campaign contributions determine policy.  When Putin and Lavrov negotiate with Washington officials, they are not negotiating with a government.  They are negotiating with representatives of the private interests whose money places Representatives, Senators, and Presidents in office.  

The two most powerful vested interests in America are the US military/security complex and the Israel Lobby. As they share the interest in war and its profits in terms of money and territory, peace faces a powerful counterforce as peace does not serve the interests of the two most powerful interest groups in the United States.

One wonders if Putin, Lavrov, Xi, and the Iranians will wake up one day and be capable of recognizing reality.

Supporters, Friends, Readers, the situation is worse than I describe above.  Here is some of the evidence from this morning alone of Western collapse following the destruction of its beliefs:

The Satanic British Prime Minister Said the British Flag Represents “Diversity,” Not Ethnic British People

The Evil Starmer Declared the Ethnic British people “Divisive” for Protesting the Overrunning of their Country and Mass Rape of their Women.  

Starmer alleges that it is Ethnic British who cause violence, not immigrant-invaders.

It is extraordinary that the British people elected an anti-British Prime Minister.  But maybe it is not.  The Americans elected two anti-American presidents, Obama and Biden, and are almost certain to elect another once Trump is gone. 

Every day it becomes more clear that there is not enough self-belief in the West for the civilization to survive. All white ethnic peoples are being submerged in Multiculturalism. A Tower of Babel has replaced ethnic nationality.  Restorative leaders such as Charlie Kirk are simply shot down.  Others are “cancelled” and disposed of via censorship, firings, and threats.  The British prime minister has now aligned the British government with immigrant-invaders and declared the British government to be in opposition to the ethnic British people.  

The Western World is over and done with.  The West’s last contribution to humanity will be nuclear war.

Satanic German Soccer Team Interrogates Star Black Midfielder for Expressing Sympathy to Charlie Kirk’s Family

Under pressure Felix Nmecha deleted what he wrote:  “Celebrating the murder of a husband and a father of two, a man who peacefully stood up for his beliefs and values, is really evil and shows how much we really need Jesus Christ.”

Germans objected, which shows how lost to Satan the Western World is.

Nmecha possibly faces “millions of dollars in penalties for social media posts violating the club’s values.”  Amazing, a member of a German football team faces millions of dollars in penalties for expressing sympathy for an assassinated man’s family.  Nmecha should find another team and another country.  Clearly a man of God does not belong in Germany.

Trump files $15 billion lawsuit against New York Times

The NY Times is “the worst and most degenerate newspaper in the history of our country, a mouthpiece for the Radical Left Democrat Party”– Trump

Trump is correct. The Democrats are cheering Charlie Kirk’s assassination.  Makes you wonder if they did it.

The Democrats are an anti-American party.  Democrats are the party of immigrant-invaders, sexual perversion, Antifa/BLM violence, and suppression of free speech.  America is doomed, because almost half of the American population agrees with the Democrats.  Notice that it is the most educated states that are the most anti-American.  It was the universities that destroyed the belief system.
