I Was Invited to a Lottery to Win a Meeting with Julia Roberts, George Clooney, and Joe Biden
Paul Craig Roberts
The movie actress Julia Roberts has sent me an email saying that if I send a donation to the Biden campaign I will be included in a lottery to be the one donor chosen to meet her, George Clooney and Biden. “We can’t wait to meet you,” she concludes.
I am amusing myself imaging Biden’s response to meeting me as the chosen donor. If Biden doesn’t know who I am, one of his aides is certain to whisper into his ear. Or would the aide? Biden would want to know “how did this guy get in here?”
Indeed, I wouldn’t get pass the front door. Demonized by PropOrNot as a “Russian agent/dupe,” and put on a new “enemies list” by “Data Journalism Agency” funded by Washington for my non-support of Western intervention in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, as I believe it is leading to nuclear war, the Secret Service would stop me at the entrance, and away I would go in handcuffs as an assassin planted by Putin to do in Biden.
The “come hither” from the actress got me to wondering why anyone wants to meet her, Clooney and Biden. I have never understood people’s adoration of actors and actresses or any celebrity. As for Biden, who would want to shake hands with a mass murderer, a person who has refused to defend America’s borders, a person who provokes Russia into war?
It wasn’t that long ago that many people viewed actors and actresses in a negative light, not just because of their loose sexual morality, but more fundamentally because they portrayed themselves in roles that weren’t them. They were people pretending to be someone else. This was seen as a lack of integrity, of character. Actors and actresses were chameleons and characterless.
Today we discuss how well this actress or that actor played being someone else. But what we admire today was once seen as the normalization of falseness.
Of course today we cannot conceive of this way of thinking. which is an indication that standards have changed.
Putin Still Does Not Understand
Putin Still Does Not Understand
Paul Craig Roberts
At the St. Petersburg conference Putin was asked if it behoved Russia to get the war in Ukraine over with before the West got more involved. Putin’s answer (below) indicates that he still has no clue that the war is widening into more casualties–now Russian civilians inside mother Russia.
“Regarding speed, regarding results. You said that I have a great responsibility. Yes indeed. Is it possible to increase the speed of solving the problems we face? It is possible, but it is directly proportional to the losses. And understanding my responsibility, I nevertheless proceed from what the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense propose. Speed is important, but even more important is caring for the lives and health of our guys who are fighting at the front. Therefore, combat work is underway, but since the beginning of this year, 47 settlements have been liberated, 880, in my opinion, square kilometers. We are gradually pushing the enemy out of the territory of Donbass and other adjacent territories. The General Staff and the Ministry of Defense have plans for the implementation and achievement of all our goals, and we are acting according to these plans. I am sure that all these plans will be implemented.”
Putin still does not comprehend that “saving lives” is actually going to lose many more lives by allowing the war to be widened into a general conflict.
