Lithuanians Under Police
State Attack and the world under
Washington’s attack
By Paul Craig Roberts
According to news reports
https://ltnacionalistas.wordpress.com/angliskai/lithuanian-government-intensifies-persecutions-against-anti-imperialist-activists/
and to this appeal by Kristoferis Voishka

the pro-American government installed in
Lithuania is persecuting Lithuanians who
dissent from the anti-Russian propaganda
that is driving Washington’s NATO puppets to
war with Russia. Unlike their puppet
government, Lithuanians understand that war
with Russia means that Lithuania on the
front line will be utterly destroyed, a
result that would not bother Washington in
the least, just as Washington is undisturbed
when its forces obliterate weddings,
funerals, and children’s soccer games.
What is Lithuania? To Washington it is a
nothing.
Kristoferis Voiska runs an alternative
Internet news site in LIthuania. Not long
ago he interviewed me, and the interview
appeared in both LIthuanian newspapers and
on his Internet news program in video form.
I found him to be sincere and well informed.
I advised him that interviewing me would
bring trouble for him, and he already was
aware of that.
As I have said so many times, Americans are
the worst informed people on the planet. The
are unaware of the growing momentum toward
war with Russia. The presstitute media
throughout Europe, especially in the Baltic
states and Poland, is hard at work creating
in people’s minds the fear of a Russian
invasion. The orchestrated fear then
provides the basis for the American puppet
governments to beg troops and tanks and
missiles from Washington, and the US
military/security complex, counting its
profits, is pleased to comply.
But what Russia sees is a threat, not a
money-making opportunity for the US
military/security complex and payoffs to the
corrupt Lithuanian and Polish governments,
which are increasingly perceived as neo-nazi
like the government that Washington bestowed
on Ukraine.
The situation is dangerous, as I keep
telling you, a message that some are too
weak to accept.

In about one week I will be 76 years old. I
was born in 1939 as World War II was
unfolding as the direct consequence of the
Versailles Treaty that broke every promise
President Woodrow Wilson made to Germany in
exchange for the end of World War I.
I remember as a child Cold War nuclear
attack drills in elementary school during
which we would cower under our school desks.
We were issued dog tags with our blood type
just like the dog tags ripped by their
comrades off US soldiers killed in the war
movies by Germans or Japs (no longer a
permissible word) and sent home to the dead
GI’s family.
To us it was more romantic than scary. We
loved wearing the dog tags. I have no idea
what happened to mine. They must be
collectors’ items by now.
I have seen a lot. As kids playing war–in
those days you could have toy guns without
being shot down by the police who are
protecting us–we reveled in America’s World
War victories. We understood, thanks to our
parents and grandparents, that the Red Army
won the war against Germany, but we
Americans beat the heartless Japs.
That was enough. We knew that the US was
tough.
I was 14 when the Korean War broke out. We
expected to win, of course, and our
expectations, we thought, were proven
correct when General MacArthur’s amphibious
landings rolled up the North Korean army.
But what MacArthur and Washington had
overlooked is that China and the Soviet
Union were not about to accept a US victory.
Before Americans could cheer, the Third
World Chinese Army rolled in and pushed the
conqueror of Japan back town to the tip of
South Korea. It was a humiliating defeat for
American arms. In his dispute with President
Truman about the conduct of the war,
MacArthur, America’s most famous general,
was removed from command.
Washington accepted defeat in Korea and
again in Viet Nam where a 500,000 US force
consisting of US Army, Marines, and Special
Forces was defeated by a Third World
guerrilla army.
To these defeats we can add Afghanistan and
Iraq. After 14 years of killing, the Taliban
controls most of the country. Jihadist have
carved a new state out of parts of Syria and
Iraq. The Middle East reeks of American
defeat. Just like Korea. Just like Viet Nam.
Despite these facts insouciant Americans and
their crazed rulers in Washington imagine
that the US is a Uni-Power, the world’s only
superpower against whom no country can
stand. Arrogance, ignorance, and hubris are
leading the US into conflict with Russia and
China, either of which can destroy the US
with ease. And Europe as well. And the
stupid bought-and-paid-for Japanese
government, a total non-entity, a disgrace
to the Japanese people, a collection of
well-paid American puppets.
As Andrew Cockburn has documented, the US
military is lost in abstractions and is no
longer capable of conducting conventional
warfare.

Any American or NATO army sent to attack
Russia will be destroyed almost instantly.
Washington cannot accept the loss of
prestige from defeat and would take the war
nuclear. Life on earth would end.
The only conclusion that informed analysis
supports is that Washington is the greatest
threat to life on earth. Washington is a
greater threat than global warming.
Washington is a greater threat than the
exhaustion of mineral energy sources.
Washington is a greater threat than the rise
in world and US poverty from Washington’s
policy to enrich the few at the expense of
the many.
The only possible conclusion is that unless
Washington collapses from its economic house
of cards or is abandoned by its NATO puppet
states, Washington will destroy life on
earth.
Washington is the greatest evil that the
world has ever faced. There is no good in
Washington. Only evil.
