In the Western World Government Only Serves Private Interests

In the Western World Government Only Serves Private Interests

Paul Craig Roberts

Despite Robert F. Kennedy being Secretary of Health, Pfizer still has its hold on the FDA, which reports to Kennedy.  The FDA has removed emergency use authorization for Covid “vaccines,” but the death shot is still authorized for those older adults and children as young as 5 who have even one health problem that puts them at high risk from the Covid virus, essentially an unknown risk that can be declared by any doctor on Big Pharma’s payroll.  https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/fda-revokes-emergency-authorization-for-covid-19-vaccines-5887018?utm_source=rtnewsnoe&src_src=rtnewsnoe&utm_campaign=rtbreaking-2025-08-27-3&src_cmp=rtbreaking-2025-08-27-3&utm_medium=email&utm_content=access0&est=pb9oU0opjlvl189sCTB0O6Zwwos9KGlGw3KbWXlK2ab8blUyLQqX2CmCyQ== 

This ruling is medically nonsensical for two reasons.  One is that the alleged “vaccine” is known to be ineffective in preventing Covid.  In other words it is not a successful vaccine under any conditions.  This has been admitted by the vaccine makers themselves and by Bill Gates, a heavy pusher of the “vaccines.”  The British “vaccine” maker even pulled the vaccine off the market.  The second reason is that the alleged “vaccines” have been proven unsafe.  Indeed, the “vaccines” are more dangerous than Covid.  Far more people have been killed and injured by the “vaccines” than by Covid.  I have provided many links to scientific articles in medical journals demonstrating the extreme danger of the “vaccine.”

Big Pharma has brought RFK, Jr., to heel.  Although the “vaccine” is no longer mandated, Kennedy says the Covid vaccines “are available for all patients who choose them after consulting with their doctors.”  But as Kennedy knows, the majority of American doctors are nothing but the brainwashed tools of Big Pharma.  

Big Pharma grants to medical schools gives them influence over the curriculum taught to doctors.  Big Pharma grants to medical scientists gives them control over what is published in peer-reviewed medical journals.  In my website’s archive is an article reporting that the editors of the two most prestigious medical journals, The New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet, both said that they had no confidence in the articles they published because 70% of them were written with grants from the pharmaceutical industry. Big Pharma even pays “medical scientists” to write against the natural supplements that do help us.

Once upon a time in America it was understood that enough money could buy integrity, turn lies into truth, and justify evil as public good. This realization on the part of the public could not prevent money from purchasing integrity, from turning lies into truth, and from disguising evil, but it limited it so honest truthful moral life could continue, at least partially.  But today all limits to the corrupting power of money have been removed.

Everything can be bought.  We even have the spectacle of young American women selling their pussy on the Internet.  And evangelical churches sell out Christ for Israeli money and turn themselves into Zionists.

Thomas Jefferson was always  in opposition to power centralized in the federal government.  He knew that the power would be privatized to serve the interest of the ruling clique.  When he returned from France he was astonished by the extent to which his colleagues had privatized the government.  Historians speak of corruption, which is their euphemism for the privatization of government to serve private interests.

The military budgets, which President Trump insists must increase in the European Union, threats of war and preparation for war are a huge profit-maker not only for the armaments manufacturers but also from the bribes to politicians that go hand in hand with arms sales. A more polite word is commissions. For the US, President Trump has requested a 13.4% increase in military spending. The US Senate has proposed a larger increase. 

Why?  We only have enemies of our own choosing. Russia, China, and Iran have no interest in war.  The reason is that they do not have the military/security complex that President Eisenhower warned us against as long ago as 1961.  This is America’s problem.  So far the US military-security complex has forced Washington to violate the George H. W. Bush administration’s promise not to move NATO to the Russian border.  The US military/security complex funds neoconservatives, their think tanks, university departments,  and publications and, thereby, funds their foreign policy objective of Washington’s hegemony over the world.  Such a foreign policy means war and nothing but war.

All of the meetings, talk, and commentary about Ukrainian peace negotiations is cover for continuing a war that Washington’s puppet state is losing.  There is still the prospect of European soldiers being sent to Ukraine’s defense with US weapons purchased by Europe.  The  US military/security complex is salivating.  The way Trump hopes to get out of the war is to turn it over to the EU with contracts to purchase American weapons.

Recently Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov, who has been extremely dense until now, realized and said that Russia was at war with an empire and that it would be a long war.  

The long war will be the product of Putin’s blunder in not quickly taking the conflict in Ukraine to victory.
