Will Truth Be Criminalized?? by Paul Craig Roberts

The Establishments determination to close down narrative-challenger Alex Jones has put Sandy Hook back in the news. As First Amendment protection is fading, I checked to see what I had written about Sandy Hook. I was relieved to see that I had only reported on the skepticism and asked questions.

My search of the IPE archives brought up my articles on other controversial shootings–Las Vegas and Orlando-and the Oklahoma City Bombing. The common thread in all of these incidents is that the narrative is established the minute the news is reported, and officials and media never vary from the narrative. As soon as it happens, the government and the media already know what happened. No investigation ever takes place. It was the same for President John F. Kennedys assassination, his brothers assassination, 9-11-01, the Gulf of Tonkin, Saddam Husseins weapons of mass destruction, Mr. Assads use of chemical weapons, the Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, etc.

Legitimate questions about the narratives are ignored by officials and media who seem to be involved in a conspiracy to bury the truth.

Skeptics, no matter how prominent or fact-based are demonized as "conspiracy theorists" unworthy of attention.

Clearly, the United States of America no longer has a media watchdog.

America has a propaganda ministry for official narratives.

What this tells us should shock every American, every United States puppet government, and Washington,D.C.s chosen enemies-Russia, China, and Iran-respect for truth is hard to find in the United States of American media and the United States of American government.

In the not distant future, it will become actionable to doubt the presstitues and the government on the grounds that doubt implies disbelief and disbelief is a crime or proves that you are a foreign agent.

Slander and libel will evolve to apply to media and government as institutions.

As we are so gullible, so trusting, we are going to be reduced to silence or praise. Silence will bring official suspicion. Praise of the false narratives will bring career success and rewards. This is the stark situation that we face.

It is unclear that anything can be done to rectify this situation.

Older United States of Americans generally are comfortable with the idea that government and media have integrity.

This is their picture of the bygone world that they grew up in.

Younger people have been indoctrinated in schools that government and media protect blacks, homosexuals, and transgendered from racist, homophobic and transphobic white people who use normality as an illegitimate standard of approval. Sodom and Gomorrah are approved, but not the white family unit.

Can we believe that there is a future for freedom in the United States of America when Democrats, media, CIA, FBI, and NSA can create a narrative of President Donald Trump as a Russian agent???

Can we believe that there is a future for freedom in the United States of America when the same collection of schemers can create a show trial of the President of the United States planning a coup by a couple of hundred unarmed supporters seizing the government of the United States by walking around in the Capitol and sitting in Nancy Pelosis chair??

Can we believe that United States of Americans sufficiently stupid to believe such implausible narratives have any possibility of holding on to their freedom??
