Fear Rules
by Paul Craig Roberts
The power of irrational fear in the United States is extraordinary. It ranks up there with the Israel lobby, the military-security complex and the financial gangsters. Indeed, fear might be the most powerful force in America.

Broadbrushing all Americans as cowards is a bit much. My personal observation is that the greatest cowards, and not so coincidentally, also the biggest fools and idiots are racist European Americans, the so-called self-identified "whites" who employ an Orwellian Anglo-Saxon socio-racial cast designation now universally vilified, and rightfully so, under the current Zionist Jewish hegemony.
European Americans, although still a majority, are collectively a persecuted and hapless group. They have lost their culture, or never had one to begin with, and can only foolishly identify themselves by the color of their skin, a supposed "white". It's pathetic.
But not all Caucasians, only those of European origin, have been reduced to semi-human status. The exceptions are Caucasians who retain their ethnic culture, their ancestral culture. That includes many Hispanics, Middle Easterners, Hindus, etc., who although proud of their Caucasian race do not attribute to their race magical qualities of superiority over arbitrarily designated "non-whites" purely by virtue of their racial DNA.

It's funny how a nation that spends more on it's military than the rest of the world combined,who seemingly can't go more than decade without attacking someone feels so insecure and threatened. These same people so like to laugh at the cowardice of the French and any others not stupid enough to join us in our wars of choice and yet saw no difficulty in choosing a pres. and vice pres. who were draft dodgers in the only war they could of fought in. And, by the way, notice how we only attack those nations we know to be weak, while someone like North Korea, with an actual full blooded military does things far more provocative, and with total impunity, while we sit by doing nothing. Remember, rightwingers, Communist North Korea developed their nuclear weapons and missles under the cowboy's watch. Or maybe good ol George was a Communist plant, sent to weaken our military and economy while posturing as a good ol boy. If so, he sure as hell was successful.
