Former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury on New Orleans: "Americans Are Being Brainwashed"
Mentality is "like that of the brown shirts that followed Hitler"


Steve Watson/Alex Jones | September 6 2005

Paul Craig Roberts has held a number of academic appointments and has contributed to numerous scholarly publications. He served as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Regan administration.

Roberts followed up his commentary Impeach Bush Now, Before More Die with an interview on The Alex Jones show on Monday 5th September 2005. The former Assistant Secretary had noted of the New Orleans disaster "If terrorists had achieved this result, it would rank as the greatest terrorist success in history." and went on to spell out how the disaster was left to happen. He succeeded these comments on Monday by laying out the facts again and asserting that the Federal government has been criminally negligent and should be held up to accountability.

Mr Roberts believed that such comments would bring him much criticism from so called Patriots (the flag waving kind), yet he was surprised at the amount of people who agreed and even informed him that it was far worse then what he'd gone on record with.

Roberts reviewed the way in which the federal government had slashed funding for flood prevention schemes and pumped everything into the war in Iraq and the war on Terror. He also went on to admit that the military was turning on the people, treating them as subjects, overturning the Posse Comitatus Act.

Roberts agreed that FEMA has deliberately withheld aid, and cut emergency communication lines, and automatically made the crisis look worse in order to empower the image of a police state emerging to "save the day". He even insinuated that the shoot to kill policy was part of the overall operation in order get an awful precedence set to aid the military industrial complex takeover of America.

"The power of the Federal Government is now greater than at any time, it'll never go back and the Posse Comitatus Act has been eroding ever since it was passed in 1878..." Roberts asserted.

Roberts further commented "There is no excuse for this, we have never had in our history the federal government take a week to respond to a disaster...this is the first time ever that the help was not mobilized in advance. The proper procedure is that everything is mobilized and ready to go"

Mr Roberts commented that the American people are being "brainwashed" and no longer believe what the founding fathers said over and over, that your worst enemy is always your own government and never confuse Patriotism with support for the government. He asserted that the mentality is "like that of the brown shirts that followed Hitler" and that the government is deadly dangerous, "you can't let the military take over policing".



On the question of where this is all leading and what the government is gearing up for, Mr Roberts suggested that "It does look like there is a push coming from inside the bowels of the police authorities and it seems to be independent of whoever the President is or who or whatever party is in office. It just gets worse and it's hard to say that it's Bush doing it, he may not even know what's going on... it's enough for us to say that New Orleans demonstrated massive federal incompetence, if it were laid on private people would be tantamount to criminal negligence... some kind of accountability has to be exercised"

The private corporations own and run everything and are turning America into a third world police state, when questioned as to how we can stop this Mr Roberts stated:

"The longer it goes on it will be harder and harder to stop...It depends on how much resistance or what kind of resistance they meet, but I think one thing we can do is demand accountability for this failure, do not buy the Karl Rove lie that this was a failure of State and Local Government"

Roberts urged listeners to look at the Patriot Act, which suspends Habeas Corpus, where they can now suspend you indefinitely, a massive erosion of civil liberties. He was quick to point out though that we should not assign the government omnipotence, we can make people aware of the situation and try to explain illogical actions that have no reasonable explanation.

Roberts read out an email from an emergency management official who said that the feds are involved in everything they do, everything has to be approved by the feds. FEMA sets the table, Mr Roberts suggested, every major agency in New Orleans has been federalized, the State and Local officials have no authority.

"They might screw up occasionally but why is it that NOTHING that was supposed to be done was done?" Roberts questioned.

"The whole problem is...failure, massive unacceptable failure, criminal negligence... it has caused the US it's largest and most strategic international Port through which 25% of all our oil and gas comes... look at the price of gasoline, this is a tremendous impact... I don't see how a recession can be avoided... We have lost our most influential port through what appears to be INTENTIONAL incompetence, it's very hard to understand"

Roberts went on to stress that this event is WORSE than 9/11 because it was announced days ahead of the event and contingency plans were intentionally ignored. The officials on the scene have said there was a complete stand down of the government and intentional incompetence. Furthermore they did nothing ON PURPOSE in order to provoke the resulting chaos and anarchy so they could say "look how out of control everything is - we have to have limits on freedom and troops on the streets."

i know...do i heed the warnings of the founders of this country about government and its nature, when i see the same tyranny today?

or maybe i should listen to the almighty psycho4bud...who tells me to shutup, the government cares, and to submit and ignore...

oh wait, that's right, alex jones invented the idea of the founders of the country...he once posted some stuff they wrote on his website.

not a hard choice.

PISSHEAD...let me make this easy even for you!

HOW WOULD YOU HANDLE THE SITUATION?

i would take out the military completely, it would be strictly a humanitarian effort, this isn't a war...and they have no business being there.

disarming everyone...fuck no...sorry, ain't going to happen, i want people to have guns, i know that means that not everyone is going to go around killing people...the criminals will still have guns...you bring in police, state police, police from surrounding states possibly...

don't worry though, it will never happen, you'll get your neo-con dream...and you have 2 choices to vote for too, the democrats and republicans are going to give the same thing...

i've read the executive orders on fema...and i don't like the direction and powers they're getting, i've read the executive orders to federalize the entire country...regardless of who's doing what...this disaster is being used as an excuse to do that, which is what you are not capable of understanding...i could go into too many issues here...and you ignored most of what paul craig roberts had to say, especially from the audio interview...so why do i even bother...?

i've worked 10 hours today and am tired, i hope this will suffice. i'll consider paul craig roberts words a lot more than yours though.

Wait a minute.

I thought the response was delayed because of beaurocracy - by the way, wasnt the Patriot Act and creating DHS supposed to fix that? That's what W is saying now.

Before that it was because help couldn't get to the stranded people even though hundreds of reporters and Harry Connick, Jr. found a way. But before that it was because they didn't know where the people were even though the refugees were all over TV. And before that it was because the states hadn't formally requested help.

So now it's because of gangbangers?

AWWWWW...now you hurt my feelings!!!
So you would just exchange the federal assistance from the National Guard and shit to state police. Good job.
You know, them boys carry guns also and don't take to kindly to gang bangers shooting at them either. Hey, that would give ya something else to bitch about!!! :D

if you're aching to get me to lust after shooting and killing people because they're looting, and to praise forced evacuations in areas that have minimum damage...it's not going to happen. if you desperately want to me to realize posse comitatus is worthless...again, not going to happen.

i'm pro-freedom. you're not living in a free country if you're shot because you're looting a walmart in a state that has just been devastated...

even when the POLICE ARE LOOTING TOO.

i answered your lame question...and that's the shit you give me? why do i bother?

No, No. It's not because of bangers. Hell, the STATE and LOCAL governments knew shit would eventually hit the fan. Where the hell was the planning from that level? You know why Houston was set up to accomodate the arrival of the New Orleans people? Because they know if that storm was to hit Galveston, it would be the same situation and they would be prepared! This isn't entirely the Feds fault by a long shot.
As for the bangers, fuck em'!!! :D

If they were just looting that is no cause for shots to be fired. If the cops/feds/national guard are fired on first...well, BANG BANG, there goes another piece of scum! :D

as it should be...

and i'm an honest person, but if i saw a guy raping a girl...or someone shooting someone else...i would do what i could to make sure that person doesn't get away with it. i would need a gun.

you don't have the freedom to just kill people, but i should be able to have that choice if someone threatens me or someone else.

Same damn thing the National Guard/ local police/ and state police are doing right now. Don't ya like their uniforms? What's the problem??? :confused:

i don't agree that that's all they're doing, that's my point...as i've said all along, they're extending those they disarm and forcibly evacuate into a wide net...not giving them the option of staying, even if their community sustained medium damage...and your house wasn't even flooded...

i hear stupid lies coming from people, namely the ones we're supposed to believe are our authorities and officials...i'm sorry, but when i see that word used, on fox and cnn, it's just blatant propaganda to me...these people have no authority over me, and they should have it over everyone.

that's rapidly not becoming a choice in this country...from traveling to opening a bank account to getting a prescription to what you buy at the grocery store to everything else...it's all becoming federalized...as the founders warned would happen...i can't ignore that.

just because everything has a fluffy display, and the graphics on fox and cnn look cool with moving backgrounds...to the 'official' seals and uniforms and institutions and cabinet departments and government departments...it's all just so fake...the emperor has no clothes.

No electicity, no food, no water, corpses floating in the streets. I think it's in the best interests of these people to leave. Sorry!! :)

It'll go as far as Hillaries lips to their news papers. Where was the state and local plan for this? They knew that this type of situation was a definate. Why weren't they prepared?
Sorry folks, I don't believe that the Fed needs to be there for all affairs. It is the responsibility of the local governments and state governments to take care of it's special needs.
Once again, that's why Houston was prepared to the N.O. people. They prepare for the same situation with Galveston.
