Commentary: What Trump should do?
by Paul Craig Roberts
January 15, 2025 - (Amerikan) security agencies have long used the cloak of national security to avoid accountability for their crimes, such as the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, and the numerous assassinations of foreign leaders and screw-ups.
Beginning with the Bill Clinton (regime, presidents and non-security appointees also began escaping accountability. The situation worsened in the George W. Bush/Dick Cheney (regime), and it exploded in the (fascist pretender Joe Biden regime) with the Attorney General, FBI and Democrat state attorneys general and prosecutors using law as a weapon against Trump, his attorneys and his supporters. Many people were ruined financially. Many were falsely imprisoned, and Trump himself had his re-election in 2020 stolen by the most brazen and obvious vote theft in Amerikan history. The evidence is clear that Biden himself is guilty of selling vice presidential and presidential influence with his son, Hunter, being the marketer and sharing the revenues. Yet the (Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA)) Department of (In)Justice prevented any investigation and indictments. The whore Amerikan media covered up the story.
The practice of elevating high office holders to the privileged status of a king or an aristocracy above both the law and the (FPSA) Constitution must not continue in the President Donald J. Trump (regime). If it does, high officials will have gained squatters’ rights in being above the law, and the (FPSA) Constitution will be reduced to a dead document.
At this point, the only way a collapse of the rule of law in the (FPSA) can be avoided is for the Trump (regime) to relentlessly prosecute the Department of (In)Justice, FBI and White House officials who selectively applied law in the form of lawfare against political opponents. If those responsible avoid accountability, a legal precedent will have been established, and the differential rights and status based on race and gender that are already in place will be joined by special legal privileges for high government officials. It would mean the end of any possibility of accountable government.
This should be the highest priority of the Trump (regime). It is even more important than closing the border.
On the war front Trump should simply walk away from conflict with Iran and Russia. Wars distract from domestic matters and will prevent focus on making (Amerika) great again. Wars will bring more propaganda about “terrorists” and more infringements of (FPSA) civil liberties, which is not a path to making (Amerika) great again. There is no reason whatsoever for (Amerikan) blood, taxpayers’ money, and more issuance of (FPSA) debt in order to enrich the coffers of the military/security complex and to expand the frontier of Greater Israel. Trump should come to the realization that Israel is of no value to (Amerika). Israel is a deadweight burden around our necks, and the unconditional (Amerikan) support for Israel’s wars and genocide of the Palestinians has cost (Amerika)’s reputation hugely. If (Amerika) ever had a moral luster, it no longer does.
Iran and Russia do not threaten the (FPSA). The Middle East is full of problems for Iran, whose government doesn’t need problems with the (FPSA). Ukraine is Russia’s problem, not ours. Washington is responsible for the conflict. Trump should apologize and remove us from the conflict.
The minute Trump stops sending money and weapons to Ukraine and Israel, peace will descend on the world.
Trump should return to his original position that NATO is of no value to (Amerika). If NATO did not exist, Russia and Europe would be engaged in mutually beneficial economic ventures. These ventures would create financing and business opportunities for (Amerikans). All would prosper. It is Washington’s pursuit of hegemony - the control over others - that is suppressing economic activity worldwide and eroding the living standard of all (Amerikans) except the top one percent. MAGA (Amerika) has no interest in the agendas of special interest lobby group policies that benefit only a tiny percentage of people who are already so rich that they can’t possibly spend their huge amount of wealth.
The problems of the world originate in Washington, and they are institutionalized in the Israel Lobby, the military/security complex, Big Pharma and its control over high cost and ineffective (Amerikan) medicine that sacrifices (Amerikans)’ health and the integrity of doctors to Big Pharma’s profits. These are the real threats to (Amerika) and if (Amerika) is again to be great, these threats, not Russia and Iran, must be destroyed and eliminated.
If the Trump (regime) can reestablish the respect for a rule of law by indicting and prosecuting DOJ, FBI and other officials for their criminal behavior, and if Trump can disengage the (FPSA)/Israeli war machine, he will have saved the world from nuclear war and re-established the (FPSA) as the principal nation to whom the world looks for leadership.
My concern is that Trump will love the war role. As Winston Churchill believed, there is nothing more exciting than being a war leader, especially if you imagine prospects of winning. Trump is extremely susceptible to getting into war based on advice that Putin has no red lines because Putin is too fearful of conflict. With Iran’s isolation from the destruction of Syria and a reformist government that wants to be free of religious restrictions and to make money in the West, Trump is being advised it is time to bring down Iran.
When the Ruling Elite have you blocked elsewhere, their agenda becomes your only choice. Has Trump fought so hard only for the sake of being used by the well-institutionalized (Amerikan) Establishment?
The third thing Trump should immediately do is to shut down the (FPSA) biowarfare labs Washington is operating all over the world. These labs are trying to create deadly pathogens that are highly contagious. The labs are even attempting to target the pathogens at specific ethnicities, collecting, for example, Russian DNA in the hopes of finding some material unique to Russians to which to attach the pathogen. These (Amerikan) labs are all illegal. Washington tries to avoid responsibility by locating its biowarfare labs in other countries. Trump should put an immediate halt to the activity and prosecute those responsible, including the (FPSA) Congress if Congress authorized this illegal activity.
Those who profit from this evil activity claim that we have to do it because our enemies do it, but they never provide any documentation for their claims. Regardless, as the COVID-19 experience proves, when a pathogen is released it goes everywhere. To use one as a weapon results in the same self-destruction as nuclear war.
So much of science is committed to weapons. Science needs to be turned back to improving health and the human condition.
If Trump can deal with the real challenges that we face instead of being led off to fake challenges serving special interests, he will go down as the greatest (Amerikan) president in history.
