Is President Trump A Traitor Because He Wants Peace With Russia?
The Democrats say he is

Paul Craig Roberts

The US Democratic Party is determined to take the world to thermo-nuclear war 
rather than to admit that Hillary Clinton lost the presidential election fair 
and square. The Democratic Party was totally corrupted by the Clinton Regime, 
and now it is totally insane. Leaders of the Democratic Party, such as Nancy 
Pelosi and Chuck Schumer, my former co-author in the New York Times, have 
responded in a non-Democratic way to the first step President Trump has taken 
to reduce the extremely dangerous tensions with Russia that the Clinton, George 
W. Bush, and Obama regimes created between the two superpowers.

Yes, Russia is a superpower. Russian weapons are so superior to the junk 
produced by the waste-filled US military/security complex that lives high off 
the hog on the insouciant American taxpayer that it is questionable if the US 
is even a second class military power. If the insane neoconservatives, such as 
Max Boot, William Kristol, and the rest of the neocon scum get their way, the 
US, the UK, and Europe will be a radioactive ruin for thousands of years. 

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi (CA), Minority Leader of the US House of 
Representatives, declared that out of fear of some undefined retribution from 
Putin, a dossier on Trump perhaps, the President of the United States sold out 
the American people to Russia because he wants to make peace: “It begs the 
question, what does Vladimir Putin, what do the Russians have on Donald 
Trump—personally, politically and financially that he should behave in such a 
manner?” The “such a manner” Pelosi is speaking about is making peace instead 
of war.

To be clear, the Democratic Minority Leader of the US House of Representatives 
has accused Donald Trump of high treason against the United States. There is no 
outcry against this blatantly false accusation, totally devoid of evidence. The 
presstitute media instead of protesting this attempt at a coup against the 
President of the United States, trumpet the accusation as self-evident truth. 
Trump is a traitor because he wants peace with Russia.

Here is Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer (NY) repeating Pelosi’s false 
accusation: “Millions of Americans will continue to wonder if the only possible 
explanation for this dangerous behavior is the possibility that President Putin 
holds damaging information over President Trump.” If you don’t believe that 
this is orchestrated between Pelosi and Schumer, you are stupid beyond belief.

Here is disgraced Obama CIA director John Brennan, a leader of the fake 
Russiagate campaign against President Trump in order to prevent Trump from 
making peace with Russia and, thus, by making the world safer, threatening the 
massive, unjustified budget of the military/security complex: “Donald Trump’s 
press conference performance in Helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of 
high crimes and misdemeanors. It was nothing short of treasonous. Not only were 
Trump’s comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of Putin. Republican 
Patriots: Where are you???”

NOTICE THAT NOT ONE WESTERN MEDIA SOURCE IS CELEBRATING AND THANKING TRUMP AND 
PUTIN FOR EASING THE ARTIFICAILLY CREATED TENSIONS THAT WERE LEADING TO NUCLEAR 
WAR. HOW CAN THIS BE? HOW CAN IT BE THAT THE WESTERN MEDIA IS SO OPPOSED TO 
PEACE? WHAT IS THE EXPLANATION?

The Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the North Koreans, as well as the 
rest of the world, desperately need to notice the extremely hostile reaction to 
peace on the part of the US Democratic Party, many members of the Republican 
Party, including the despicable US Republican Senators John McCain and Lindsey 
Graham, and the Western Presstitute Media, a collection of people on the CIA 
payroll according to the German newspaper editor, Udo Ulfkotte, and the CIA 
itself. 

Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and the rest of the 
corrupt filth that rules over us are all in the pay of the military/security 
complex. Just go and investigate the donations to their re-election campaigns. 
The 1,000 billion dollar budget of the military/security complex, amplified by 
the CIA’s front corporations and narcotics business, provides enormous sums 
with which to purchase the senators and representatives that the insouciant 
American voters think that they elect.

Do you know how large 1,000 billion is? You would have to live for thousands of 
years and do nothing for 24/7 except count to reach that figure. It is a sum 
that nurtures the recipients, and the recipients regard it as worth protecting. 

Therefore, the American public gets not representation, but lies that justify 
war and conflict. The military/security complex, about which President 
Eisenhower warned the American people to no effect, is in desperate need of an 
enemy. In obedience to the military/security complex, the Clinton, George W. 
Bush, and Obama regimes have made Russia that enemy. If Trump and Putin do not 
understand this, they will easily be made irrelevant. 

They both can be assassinated, and that is what the statements from Pelosi, 
Schumer, McCain, Lindsey Graham, et. al., repeated endlessly in the propaganda 
ministry that is the Western press, encourages. Trump can be assassinated or 
overthrown in a political coup for selling out America to Russia, as members of 
both political parties claim and as the media trumpets endlessly. Putin can be 
easily assassinated by the CIA operatives that the Russian government stupidly 
permits to operate throughout Russia in NGOs and Western/US owned media and 
among the Atlanticist Integrationists, Washington’s Firth Column inside Russia 
serving Washington’s purposes. These Russian traitors serve in Putin’s own 
government!

Americans are so unaware that they have no idea of the risk that President 
Trump is taking by challenging the US military security complex. For example, 
during the last half of the 1970s I was a member of the US Senate staff. I was 
working together with a staffer of the US Republican Senator from California, 
S. I. Hayakawa, to advance understanding of a supply-side economic policy cure 
to the stagflation that threatened the US budget’s ability to meet its 
obligations. Republican Senators Hatch, Roth, and Hayakawa were trying to 
introduce a supply-side economic policy as a cure for the stagflation that was 
threatening the US economy with failure. The Democrats, who later in the Senate 
led the way to a supply-side policy, were, at this time, opposed (see Paul 
Craig Roberts, The Supply-Side Revolution, Harvard University Press, 1984). The 
Democrats claimed that the policy would worsen the budget deficit, the only 
time in those days Democrats cared about the budget deficit. The Democrats said 
that they would support the tax rate reductions if the Republicans would 
support offsetting cuts in the budget to support a balanced budget. This was a 
ploy to put Republicans on the spot for taking away some groups’ handouts in 
order “to cut tax rates for the rich.” 

The supply-side policy did not require budget cuts, but in order to demonstrate 
the Democrats lack of sincerety, Hayakawa’s aid and I had our senators 
introduce a series of budget cuts together with tax cuts that, on a static 
revenue basis (not counting tax revenue feedbacks from the incentives of the 
lower tax rates) kept the budget even, and the Democrats voted against them 
every time. 

When the combination of tax cuts with defense budget cuts came up for a vote, 
the legendary senator Strom Thurmond, a 48-year member of the US Senate from 
South Carolina, tapped me on the shoulder. He said: “son, never set your 
senator up against the military/security complex. He will not be re-elected, 
and you will be out of a job.” I replied that we were just establishing for the 
record that under no conditions would the Democrats, who wanted more 
government, vote for a tax rate reduction even if there was a case that it 
would cure stagflation. He replied: “son, the military/security complex doesn’t 
care.”

My emergence from The Matrix began with Thurmond’s pat on my shoulder. It grew 
with my time at the Wall Street Journal when I learned that some truthful 
things simply could not be said. In the Treasury I experienced how those 
outside interests opposed to a president’s policy marshall their forces and the 
media that they own to block it. Later as a member of a secret presidential 
committee, I saw how the CIA attempted to prevent President Reagan from ending 
the Cold War. 

Today, right now, at this moment, we are faced with a massive effort of the 
military/security complex, the neoconservatives, the Democratic Party, and the 
presstitute media to discredit the elected President of the United States and 
to overthrow him in order that the utterly corrupt elite that rule American can 
continue to hold on to power and to protect the massive budget of the 
military/security complex that, along with the Israel Lobby, funds the 
elections of those who rule us. Trump, like Reagan, was an exception, and it is 
the exceptions that accumulate the ire of the corrupt leftwing, bought off with 
money, and the ire of the media, concentrated into small tight ownership groups 
indebted to those who permitted the illegal concentration of a once independent 
and diverse American media that once served, on occasion, as a watchdog over 
government. The rightwing, wrapped in the flag, dismisses all truth as 
“anti-American.” 

If Putin, Lavrov, the Russian government, the traitorous Russian Fifth 
Column—the Atlanticist Integrationists—the Chinese, the Iranians, the North 
Koreans think that any peace or consideration can come out of America, they are 
insane. Their delusions are setting themselves up for destruction. There is no 
institution in America, government or private, that can be trusted. Any 
government or person who trusts America or any Western country is stupid beyond 
belief.

The entire Russiagate hoax is an orchestration by the military/security 
complex, led by John Brennen, Comey, and Rosenstein. The purpose is to 
discredit President trump for two reasons. One is to prevent any normalization 
of relations with Russia. The other is to remove Trump’s agenda as an 
alternative to the agenda of the Democratic Party.

President Trump is almost powerless. Putin, the Chinese, the Iranians, and the 
North Koreans should recognize this before it is too late for them. President 
Trump cannot fire and arrest for high treason Mueller and Rosenstein.. And 
Trump cannot indict Hillary for her numerous unquestionable crimes in plain 
view of everyone, or Comey or Brennan, who declares Trump “to be wholly in the 
pocket of Putin,” for trying to overthrow the elected president of the United 
States. Trump cannot have the Secret Service question the likes of Pelosi and 
Schumer and McCain and Lindsey Graham for false accusations that encourage 
assassination of the President of the United States.

Trump cannot even trust the Secret Service, which accumulated evidence suggests 
was complicit in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and Robert 
Kennedy. 

If Putin and Lavrov, so anxious to be friends of Washington, let their guards 
down, they are history.

As I said above, Russiagate is an orchestratration to prevent peace between the 
US and Russia. Leading military/security complex experts, including the person 
who provided the CIA’s daily briefing of the President of the United States for 
many years, and the person who devised the spy program for the National 
Security Agency, have proven conclusively that Russiagate is a hoax designed 
for the purpose of preventing President Trump from normalizing relations 
between the US and Russia, which has the power to destroy the entirety of the 
Western World at will.

Here is the report from the retired security professionals who, unlike those 
still in office, cannot be fired and deprived of a careet for telling the 
truth:

Here is what the clued-in Russian Defense Minister Shoigu has to say about the 
aggressive actions of the West against the Russian homeland:

If Putin doesn’t listen to him, Russia is in the trash can of history.

Keep in mind that no media informs you better than my website. If my website 
goes down, you will be left in darkness. No valid information comes from the US 
government or the Western presstitutes. If you sit in front of the TV screen 
watching the Western media, you are brainwashed beyond all hope. Not even I can 
rescue you. Nor God himself.

Americans, and indeed the Russians themselves, are incapable of realizing it, 
but there is a chance that Trump will be overthrown and a Western assault will 
be launched against the handful of countries that insist on sovereignty.

I doubt that few of the Americans who elected Trump will be taken in by the 
anti-Trump propagana, but they are not organized and have no armed power. The 
police, militarized by George W. Bush and Obama, will be set against them. The 
rebellions will be local and suppressed by every violation of the US 
Constitution by the private powers that rule Washington, as always has been the 
case with rebellions in America. 

In the West, which the Russians are so anxious to join, all freedoms are 
dead—freedom of assembly, freedom of speech, freedom of association, freedom of 
inquiry, freedom of privacy, freedom from arbitrary search, freedom from 
arbitrary arrest, along with the Constitutional protections of due process and 
habeas corpus. Today there are no countries less free than the United States of 
America.

Why do the Russian Atlanticist Integrationists want to join an unfree Western 
world? Are they that brainwashed by Western Propaganda?

If Putin listens to these deluded fools, Putin will destroy Russia.

There is something wrong with Russian perception of Washington. Apparently the 
Russian elite, with the exception of Shoigu and a few others are incapable of 
comprehending the neoconservative drive for US world hegemony and the 
neoconservative determination to destroy Russia as a constraint on US 
unilateralism. The Russian government somehow, despite all evidence to the 
contrary, believes that Washington’s hegemony is negotiable.
