When historians in the far off future write about the decline and the fall of the American Empire, they will be quoting Pat Buchanan most of all.

Happy Birthday Pat Buchanan! You are sui generis. God bless and keep you!

I saw the D’Souza movie and hated it. It was a modge podge of disjointed historical events that D’Souza tried to weave together to make a propaganda film.

D’Souza never did explain why Hitler rose to power in Germany. The history of World War I and the horrendous Versailles treaty never entered into his research on how nations come to an end.

Dr. Boyd Cathey wrote a great critique of this propaganda film, and confirmed what I was feeling about that film.

Amen! Ron Paul is so right as always.

Anonsky, when was the last time you counted Putin’s money?

You are either very naive, or you are working for the Neocons. Ron Paul has called it exactly right. It’s just like those demonstrations in Ukraine where Victoria Nuland was plotting with Ambassador Pyatt on who their new government puppet would be and handing out cookies to the demonstrators. Never mind that Nuland bragged that the U.S. spent $5 billion on destabilizing Ukraine.

It also reminds me of the line we were told about how the Iraqi people would welcome us with flowers if we toppled Saddam Hussein. Chalabi was our man back then. How many times do we have to travel down this same path of lies?

That’s because he doesn’t have any political or philosophical moorings.

And I seem to remember reading that eleven of the twelve Russian Oligarchs are Jews. This probably has a bearing on why Putin is being so docile.

Yes, I think you are right about this. It appears that Putin is going to concentrate on doing what is best for Russia and Russians. Putin is going to leave Bibi to God.

I don’t think any of us knows how high Putin’s I.Q. is, but he has something even better than a high I.Q.—-Wisdom!

My above comment was directed at someone who had nothing good to say about Putin, like TKK and others.

For a look at the real Putin read Boyd Cathey’s article, “Examining the Hatred of Putin.”

Your statements about Putin need to be checked.

You nailed it! Minnesota is now the Somalian Capital of the World.

Right you are! Oprah will be the next POTUS. All she needs is the female and black vote to make it.

Yes, Putin defeated ISIS, and notice how he doesn’t brag about it. Like Ronald Reagan, he doesn’t care who gets the credit for something good that’s been done. Trump, on the other hand, is quick to claim credit for the good things that get done, and places blame on others when things turn out badly.

I read that Jonah Goldberg’s wife is Nikki Haley’s speech writer.

Boyd Cathey is one of my favorite writers. This column is superb and brought back my childhood with fond memories of Western movies and television shows. Oh for the good old days!

You nailed it!

You would like the book, “Liberalism is a Sin” by Fr. Felix Sarda Y Salvany.

I’m quite sure Kristol’s friend that served is Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

Rurik,

As I stated before there are the premillenials, the post millenials, the Amillenials, and you can throw in the Jehovah’s Witnesses and Latter Day Saints. There are differences in their beliefs of how the end times will be and what the end result will be.

It is difficult to sort it all out as to the variations in the different belief systems. I don’t have enough time or space here to go into it all, but I am Amillenial which means I reject the belief that Jesus will have a literal, thousand-year-long reign on earth. Jesus never disputed that Satan was Prince of this world. We know from the Book of Revelation that when war broke out in heaven, Lucifer and his angels were cast down to earth.

I can’t say enough good about David Currie’s book. He explains it better than anyone. I’ve read it three or four times and will probably read it many more times before I depart this earth.

You need to know that there are Premillenial Dispensationlists, Postmillenials, and Amillenials. They differ in their beliefs. I suggest you get a copy of David Currie’s book, “Rapture” with the subtitle, “The End Times Error That Leaves the Bible Behind” to get a full understanding of the Rapture peoples’ thinking. Currie was raised on the Rapture and came out of it. His book on the end times is the best I have ever read. He knows history, the Bible, and “The Works of Josephus.”

These people believe that they will be raptured up to heaven with Jesus right before the 7 year tribulation. They won’t be coming back to earth with Jesus after the Tribulation. They will be the new saints in heaven. After the tribulation, Jesus will return to earth and rule from Jerusalem for 1000 years.

You are mistaken in the premillennial, dispensationslist view of the rapture.

These people believe that the true believers (themselves) will be raptured up to heaven right before Armageddon, and then there will be a tribulation lasting seven years, and then Jesus will come to earth and reign from Jerusalem as an earthly potentate for a thousand years.

These people refuse to accept that Armageddon already happened in 70 AD when Titus destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple.

Me thinks you want to see Pat Buchanan condemned and ostracized.

Unfortunately, there are some loopy Catholics who read the “Left Behind” books and have bought into Zionism as have some other Christians.

God bless you, Tom. Your are a true Christian.

Prophecy—-When the Neocons eliminate Trump from office, and Pence becomes President, Pence will pick Sen. Tom Cotton to be his Vice-President.

“Let the media keep digging and digging and digging where they is no gold. Let them be distracted by Trump does something real.”

They will find Fools Gold.

Or how about the most recent example of the U.S. coup against the democratically elected leader in the Ukraine?

Stephen Kinzer’s book, “The Brothers” can give you several more examples.

Next up on Tucker’s show should be retired General Jack Keane who works for The Institute for the Study of War.

I totally agree with you.

Try reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church and you will see that real Catholics do know the Bible.

I have the names of the traitors all knitted in my scarf!

Madame De Farge

Trump’s gate keepers would make sure that PJB never gets near the President. I’m sure they make sure he doesn’t read PJB’s columns warning him of what dangers await him.

Yes, Pearl Harbor.

I have a friend whose husband was good friends with a fairly high ranked officer on a naval ship in the Pacific before Pearl Harbor happened. This officer told my friend’s husband that their orders from Washington were “to provoke an attack from Japan.”

All wars are predicated on lies.

He’d die trying.

Another possibility not mentioned by Ron Paul is that the U.S. wants to take the credit for finishing the war against ISIS in Syria when it is Russia that has really done the heavy lifting.

I’m thinking Liechtenstein would be the best place on earth. Check it out.

You nailed it! Cui bono?

Answer: Pence

Kelly Ayotte was one of the “Three Amigos” replacing Joe Lieberman. She is not to be trusted just as her pals McCain and Graham are not to be trusted.

American Exceptionalism is really national narcissism.

Wow! What a list! Thank you for telling it like it is. I could add some more heinous acts to your list, like the American sponsored assassination of our allies, the Diem brothers in Viet Nam.

Thank you for exposing American hypocrisy and hubris.

Yes, and Hillary is already running again for 2020.

“Rudy turned it down.”

Apparently so. The nerve of Rudy to think he’s qualified to be Sec. of State. It always bothered me that he was following Trump around on the campaign trail.

The names floated out for positions in Trump’s cabinet and other high government positions reads like “Who’s Who” in the G.W. Bush Administration. Apparently the Neocons are riding high wide and handsome once again.

I sure hope Pat Buchanan comes to his senses and realizes that he’s been had.

I voted for Trump based on Pat’s supportive columns for Trump. Now I am so nauseated I can’t eat or sleep.

Rudy Giuliani as Sec. of State scares me just as much as John Bolton does.

To reward Rudy for his loyalty during the campaign, Trump should make him Attorney General instead.

When I sent Trump $100, I put a note with it saying, “Please don’t make John Bolton Secretary of State. My fears were not unfounded.

That would be the Al Smith dinner—not Adam Smith.

And wasn’t it something to see Donald Trump go into that banquet hall, full of hypocrites, and speak truth to power!

I am disappointed in Putin for trusting the U.S. He should have known better.

Paul Craig Roberts lays it out so clearly.

” I can’t put my finger on what this other power is.”

The other power is the power of Satan! This is his kingdom.

Thank you. My hunch has been confirmed.

Sorry, I forgot that you indicated he was still alive. Is MEGA’s middle initial “A” and was he born in 1950?

Is MEGA still alive?

This whole thing smells of Allen Dulles. I agree that McCarthy and Forrestal were likely done in at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I wish someone, like Stephen Kinzer, would do a thorough investigation on the death of James Forrestal and write a book about it.

Buchanan may not be around to see the fall-out of unbridled immigration, but he cares about what will happen to America after he is gone because he is a patriot.

Mixing of the races leads to Balkanization. Like seeks like. People want to live with people like themselves in customs, values, religions, ethnicities etc. Forcing people to live with people they don’t want or like is a recipe for anarchy.

After seeing Michael Morell testifying on Benghazi and then again on one of the Sunday Talking Heads shows, the word that best describes Morell is “obsequious.” He’s another Sydney Blumenthal.

Great column by Phil Giraldi!

Yevardian: “I really don’t understand why Trump never made overtures towards Buchanan.”

Because Buchanan was smeared as being an anti-Semite.

Who would appoint Ted Cruz to the Supreme Court?

November 8, 2016

Vox populi, vox Dei.

I think Pat Buchanan is naive if he thinks the day of the Bildebergers is over. Satan is still Prince of this World.

In Bend, Oregon.

Read the books, “The Brothers” by Stephen Kinzer and “The Devil’s Chessboard” by David Talbot, and you might change your mind about Ike. His foreign policy was very duplicitous thanks to the help he got from the Dulles brothers.

Me too!

“Would he come to them and tell them what they wanted to hear, supporting free trade, cutting social security, providing more tax cuts for big business, repeal Obamacare, etc.”

I didn’t know that the insider Republicans were for cutting social security. That issue has always been a sacred cow for both Dems and Repubs. How about Trump’s stance on immigration? You didn’t mention that.

“It is true that Trump is more brash, crude, and outlandish in his public statements and his pandering to the ignorant ultra-conservative base in the US, when compared to Reagan.”

Define “ignorant-ultra-conservative base” please. I have a feeling that I am part of that group according to your definition.

I think this explains why there was a U.S. backed coup in the Ukraine. The former Ukrainian leader decided against the IMF plan, which would lead to austerity and confiscation of Ukrainian assets, and went with the better loan terms from Putin. That’s why all hell broke loose and Putin and Russia are being demonized constantly in the Wall Street Journal and other main stream media publications.

I like Buchanan’s sentence structure and format. Unlike most writers, every one of his sentences is pregnant with meaning and deserves to stand out alone.

For people with vision problems, his format makes for easier reading.

Buchanan knows how to write better than anyone.

tbraton,

As a former Minnesotan, who was actively involved in Reagan’s Minnesota campaigns, I can tell you that Reagan really did win Minnesota in 1984. There was massive cheating, and Reagan had a good case for challenging the vote, but being the gentleman that he was, Reagan did not want to rub Walter Mondale’s nose in his humiliating defeat and chose to let Mondale have his home state.

I heard Bob Beckel, Mondale’s campaign manager, admit on FOX that the Democrats stole Minnesota in 1984.

There is no one today, to my knowledge, that can stop the suicide of the American Empire. As long as truth is suppressed and the American people blindly follow those working to take down America, I see no hope. It appears to me that God has given America over to a base and stupid mind. See Romans 1:28.

Perhaps there is someone, years away, who will rise out of the ashes and lead an American rebirth. Stranger things have been known to happen.

” I wish American policymakers could get clear of these influences.”

Amen! I am with you Diversity Heretic!

These powerful voting blocs and donors have a stranglehold on America’s foreign policy, and I just don’t think we can get away from them until they have completely destroyed America.

Then, maybe we can rebuild.

“Europeans should be demanding to know why their governments provoke people in the Middle East with aggressive foreign policies, and then open the door to millions of them. Do their leaders just lack basic common sense?”

This paragraph says it all. Americans need to wake up and learn what the government has been doing in the Middle East—opening Pandora’s Box and wrecking havoc on Europe and the U.S.

Excellent article. Thank you for posting it, Ivan. I am reminded of when the cameras were turned on Rand Paul, and he wasn’t clapping enough when Netanyahu addressed Congress.

After hearing Trump’s speech before AIPAC last night, it is obvious to me that he has been co-opted by the Establishment if he wasn’t already a part of it.

Pat Buchanan is riding the wrong horse in this race. There is no horse to ride in this race.

Best of luck to you, Mr. Unz! I hope Californians wake up and come to their senses and vote for you.

I think Ron Paul was John the Baptist four and eight years ago–a voice crying out in the wilderness.

This gathering at Sea Island sounds like the clandestine gathering of elites at Jekyll Island in 1910 where they conspired to create the Federal Reserve.

Please God! Raise up a leader who can deliver us from these evil men who have a stranglehold on America!

I understand why PJB is sympathetic to Trump because of his stands on illegal immigration and lousy trade deals that have taken jobs away from Americans. But, after watching Trump’s debate performance last night and listening to his rantings today, I feel that there is no one I can vote for this year. I am packing it in and am no longer a participant in American politics because the nuts are running the asylum. We have no statesmen anymore—just pandering, shameless, self promoters. It is not the end of the GOP that concerns me but the end of America.

Yeah, well we aren’t going to get that from Trump.

“First off, trillions in loans to the 3rd World have been forgiven.”

I have a question. Were the trillions in loans to 3rd World countries forgiven by the bankers or were they forgiven by the taxpayers who paid the bankers?

You forgot to mention the fake eyelashes.

While I am not yet ready to support Trump, Boyd Cathey has written an excellent piece here articulating what happened to the Conservative movement since Reagan was elected. He has cut through all the subterfuge like a hot knife through butter. I always knew that something went terribly wrong once Reagan was given the GOP nomination, and my first insight into this was when Reagan considered putting Gerald Ford on the ticket as a “co-President” at the convention in Detroit in 1980. Reagan finally balked, but he put George Bush in as Veep instead. The Bushies then took over the reins of the government by making all the staffing appointments. Reagan was too overwhelmed by the Neocoms and his wife to be able to withstand what was happening in his administration.

I am not sure that Donald Trump won’t be co-opted by these same people as was Ronald Reagan. They are powerful, facile, and a scourge on the face of the earth.

Pat’s last sentence says it all. Peace is so fragile, and war is so appealing to the PTB and their dupes in the mainstream. Will we ever get our fill of war?

Not only did we wear scars from 1964, but some of us lost arms and legs in the 1976 battle between Reagan and Ford. Reagan was a superb candidate, and we, the grunts, finally handed him the GOP nomination on a silver platter where he didn’t have to cut deals with anyone. Yet, why did he contemplate putting Gerald Ford on the ticket as a co-President? Why did he feel that he had to compromise? When he came to his senses, he upchucked the Ford deal and put George H.W. Bush on the ticket. From that point on, the Neocoms, like maggots, crawled into the Reagan Administration and became firmly entrenched in the bowels of the government. We were “bushwhacked.”

Prisskins, have you given any thought to applying to Unz for a columnist status for yourself?

I agree with everything you said. My fear is that the Powers That Be (many of whom are Neocons) have the power to bring about an economic collapse should Trump win, and then he would get the blame.

Carlton, you nailed it!

I wish I hadn’t read this. Now I feel very blue going into Christmas.

I think Putin is smart enough to know that Israel is looking at Russia as a new host plant.

Let’s face it folks, Putin was right when he said, “The Americans have mush for brains.”

America’s foreign policy under the Democrats and the Republicans is run by the same people, the Neocoms. Obama is on television right now singing their mantra in regard to non interventionism and Syria. Presidents come and go, but the State Department and Military Industrial Complex stay the same.

Jeb Bush was on “This Week with George Stephanopolous,” and he was so smug as he insisted that Donald Trump would not be the Republican nominee. It was as if he had inside knowledge that something was planned to derail Trump. I’m sure the GOP establishment has something up their sleeves to make sure that Trump doesn’t win, the way they made sure that Ron Paul wouldn’t win.

Do you really think the “Conservative Media” is conservative?

Dr. Paul, would you consider having Stephen Kinzer, the author of “The Brothers” on your Liberty Report? His book on the Dulles brothers details how they started America on stealth interventionist foreign policy. The chapter on Iran is particularly revealing and dovetails with what you have been saying all along. This book explains why America is hated all over the globe.

Thank you for all the information you put out.

If anyone has any doubts about what James Petras has written, I implore them to read the book, “The Brothers” by Stephen Kinzer. It tells how the Dulles Brothers, John Foster (Sec. of State) and Allen (CIA), during the Eisenhower years, sowed the seeds of the unethical and evil covert operations our State Department and CIA are still engaged in, only at an even faster and more furious pace.

Once you have read “The Brothers” it will change your entire perception of America.

Petras’s article is right on target. The question is, how do we extricate our nation from these monsters that have set about making hell on earth?

I’ll bet we never see General McInerney on FOX again, at least not on this subject. He strayed from the Necom talking points and propaganda. General Jack Keane is still at it every day on both FOX News and Fox Business News. I don’t know how he can keep a straight face.

“This is called propaganda story preparation. Are they not good at it?”

You are so right!

I am in the middle of a book I cannot put down. It is titled, “The Brothers” by Stephen Kinzer. This book shows how the groundwork for our CIA and foreign policy was set in place by the Dulles brothers, John Foster, and Allen during the Truman and Eisenhower years These men set out in search of monsters to destroy and started with Mossadegh in Iran, which explains why the Iranians have a reason to hate the U.S. You can order this book from Amazon for $5.99.

Before every CIA covert operation in a foreign country, the leader of that country has to be lied about and demonized to the American people, just as Assad had been demonized. Propaganda story preparation that is most evil.

I highly recommend this book for those interested in understanding exactly what is going on with our shadow government and how it destabilizes countries that don’t knuckle under to U.S. demands.

Terrific article! James Petras has clearly stated what I have felt in my gut for so long but never quite knew how to put into words. FOX New and FOX Business News are the worst of the Troika. Every day it is a parade of the same talking heads telling us what to think—K.T. McFarland, Gen. Jack Keane, Lt. Col. Ralph (Barney Fife) Peters, John Walrus Bolton, Charles Krauthammer, Steve Hays, James Woolsey, and the list goes on and on. Never is there anyone to present the other side of the Neocon vision for the world. Makes me sick to my stomach.

As usual, Ron Paul is right. We will never hear any apologies from the culprits that have brought America low. And there will never, ever be any discussion or debate on the reasons for the policies that suck America into all the wars. The GOP debates are a farce.

Well, the Catholic Church has been around and growing for almost 2,000 years, and up until the Second Vatican Council she has been counter cultural. Once she began embracing the culture and the government her numbers started shrinking in vocations, parishes, and mass attendance in the Western cultures. The only real growth is in parts of the world that cling to the traditional Faith and teachings. But it’s not enough to offset the overall decline in numbers.

I don’t expect the Church to pull out of this decline because Jesus, the Prophet, said, “When the Son of Man returns, will He find any Faith?” He wouldn’t have asked that question if he expected to find a lot of people with faith within His Church.

Christ also said that His Father would have to shorten the days to the end or even the elect would be lost.

So I am expecting a much smaller but holier Church in the end times.

The Benghazi Committee should have heeded Judge Napolitano’s advice and had a sharp attorney questioning Hillary.

The one question I wanted answered was, “Secretary Clinton, what was Ambassador Stevens really doing in Benghazi?”

Only Congressman Pompeo even came close to touching on this question.

Quartermaster, have you done any research on what 7th Day Adventists believe, and how they view Catholics?

I’m praying that Vladimir Putin will deliver us from the Neocoms.

Now would you give us a critique of FOX News’s coverage and opinions?
