Former Treasury Official Concerned that the Government Has Become Unaccountable to the People

Interview with Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Former Treasury Official Concerned that the Government Has Become Unaccountable to the People


“Obama is a tyrant, a liar, a deceiver, a war criminal, a murderer, a servant of powerful private interest groups.”



Expectations for Obama (when he was first elected in 2008) were the highest in my lifetime. Bush was so awful, and Obama spoke so eloquently of human rights and ending Bush’s illegal wars, that even Republicans voted for Obama in his first presidential election. Considering the very high expectations for him, Obama’s current low approval rating is dismal.

One wonders why anyone approves of Obama.

He is a tyrant, a liar, a deceiver, a war criminal, a murderer, a servant of powerful private interest groups - who, in order to further enrich these interest groups, has brought more illegal wars to the world, who is trying to intimidate South American and Russia for supporting Edward Snowden. Snowden, of course, is the person who revealed the illegal and unconstitutional universal spying program that Obama is running.

So, only (the existence of) an unaware electorate can explain why Obama’s approval rating is not zero.

The American political system is no longer accountable to the people. It has achieved - through presidential declarations - independence of accountability to law, of accountability to the Constitution, of accountability to the people.

The Republican opposition is even worse. The Republicans essentially are a Nazi party – that’s what they are. They have no mercy for the poor, no mercy for the ill, they work to concentrate income and wealth in the top one per cent of the income distribution. And they hate the U.S. Constitution even more than Obama does.

So when you look at it, what choice do the American people have? They have just ‘worse’ and ‘worser’. It’s almost like having to choose between Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot.

The situation here is deplorable, and there is no accountability to the people by the government. And it’s not just at the federal level – it’s also at the state and local levels.

The fact that a majority of Americans, black, white and brown, STILL do not discern what is REALLY taking place in this nation screams of their personal self-centered lives and total lack of interest in everything outside their personal circle. It is all about 'me, myself and I.' Some will believe whatever they are told that will continue to provide them with freebies and excuses, whether right or wrong, to blame others for their self made situations. The train of destruction is running full speed at them while they stand on the railroad tracks reaching out for more freebies and handouts. They don't see what's coming at THEM. When enough Americans finally realize they have had enough of the tyranny, it will be because it has finally hit their own personal doorstep. The tanks will be there. The gun toting foreign troops hauling them off to the railroad cars and the camps will be the normal daily routine, and it will be too late. It may already be too late to turn this around. Not enough loyal patriotic upper level military, law enforcement, and employees of all the USA private corporation sub-corporations have the courage to take the necessary steps to oust the rogue traitors.
