The Era of Tyranny Has Begun<\/em><\/h1>\n

Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org April 26, 2019<\/h1>\n

A fish rots from the head. In the Western world rot is accelerating. The rot in Washington is swiftly spreading to state and local governments and abroad to the Empire\u2019s vassal governments.<\/span><\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s attack on journalism represented by the illegal arrest of Julian Assange has now spread to France. The US government\u2019s policy of sanctions against sovereign countries that do not follow Washington\u2019s orders has spread to the state of New York, where the governor has threatened sanctions against financial institutions that do business with the National Rifle Association.<\/span><\/p>\n

In France the vassal president Macron has ordered three journalists, who revealed that Macron\u2019s government knowingly and intentionally sold arms to Saudi Arabia and the UAE to be used for the slaughter of women and children in Yemen, to report for police questioning. The report proves that Macron\u2019s government deliberately lied when it said it was unaware that French weapons were to be used for attack rather than defense use in violation of the Arms Trade Treaty of 2014. The journalists are under investigation by the French gestapo for \u201ccompromising national defence secrets.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, when the French government lies, it is a violation of national defence secrets to report it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The entire Western world is adopting Washington\u2019s approach to Assange and criminalizing the practice of journalism, thus protecting governments\u2019 criminality. If you reveal a government crime, as Wikileaks did, you will be prosecuted by the criminal government for doing so. It is like permitting a criminal to prosecute the police and prosecutor who want him arrested.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the First Amendment already under attack and targeted for elimination by Identity Politics for permitting \u201chate speech,\u201d with the 10th Amendment destroyed by the war criminal Abe Lincoln, and with habeas corpus and due process destroyed by the George W. Bush and Obama regimes, only the Second Amendment still stands, and it is under attack from New York governor Andrew Cuomo.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cuomo revealed that his threat of sanctions against financial organizations has the purpose of putting \u201cthe NRA out of business. We\u2019re forcing NRA into financial jeopardy. We won\u2019t stop until we shut them down.\u201d The tyrant Cuomo knows that the NRA cannot operate without a bank account and insurance coverage.<\/span><\/p>\n

To be clear, Washington\u2019s success in weaponizing government against the people has spread throughout the empire and down into the state governments of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we add to this the mass spying on citizens made possible by the digital revolution, we have as the result the death of liberty.<\/span><\/p>\n

To any longer speak of the \u201cWestern democracies\u201d is to mouth a falsehood. There are exactly zero Western governments that can be held accountable by the people. There can be no accountable government without a free press. There is no economic freedom or freedom of association when businesses are punished for having business relationships with organizations that are targets of government oppression.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cwar on terror\u201d was a disguise for an attack on the US Constitution, an attack that has succeeded. The worst act of treason in history is the US government\u2019s destruction of the US Constitution.<\/span><\/p>\n

The era of tyranny has begun. Elections cannot stop it.<\/span><\/p>\n
