   Interview with Paul Craig Roberts (rough transcription)    
      
   ‘US financial crisis deeper than debt ceiling’    
       
   Thu Oct 3, 2013 10:2AM GMT    
      
      
   [Excerpts]    
      
      
   Press TV: First of all, tell us what does this government shutdown in essence   
   mean?    
      
      
   Roberts: What this shows is that the superpower, the exceptional country, the   
   indispensable country is not even capable of governing itself and yet it   
   claims to know what is best for Iran, for Iraq, for Afghanistan, for Somalia,   
   for Libya, for Russia,    
   for China, for the whole world and yet it cannot govern itself.    
      
      
   Press TV: I mean is this how deep is this?  And then what about the American   
   people who are suffering because of this?    
      
      
   Roberts: The main point is that the real crisis is not the fact that the debt   
   ceiling has been delayed from being raised, it is the fact that there is a   
   huge imbalance now between the expenditures and revenues.    
      
      
   When you offshore a good segment of your economy, you have really hurt   
   yourself. You have deprived yourself of revenues in the long run and [then]   
   when you build in the costs of 12 years of war, you have really hurt the   
   expenditure side.    
      
      
   So, the real crisis is that the gap is so wide, there is really nothing they   
   can do..., they would have to be able to bring the jobs home, they would have   
   to be able to get rid of these [12 years of war] costs and there are powerful   
   vested interests    
   defending both things.    
      
      
   So, that is the real crisis, it is not the debt ceiling that is the crisis.

   As Obama's Asia 'pivot' falters, China steps into the gap

   [Excerpts]    
      
      
   President Barack Obama's cancellation of a trip this week to four Asian   
   nations and two regional summits due to the U.S. [World Tyrant] government   
   shutdown has raised further doubts over a policy aimed at re-invigorating U.S.   
   [World Tyrant] military and    
   economic influence in the fast-growing region, while balancing a rising   
   [Capitalist] China.    
      
   While U.S. [World Tyrant] and Asian diplomats downplayed the impact of Obama's   
   no-show, the image of a dysfunctional, distracted Washington [The World   
   Tyrant] adds to perceptions that [Capitalist] China has in some ways   
   outflanked the U.S. [World Tyrant]    
   pivot.    
      
   As embarrassed U.S. [World Tyrant] officials announced the cancellations last   
   week, [Capitalist] Chinese President Xi Jinping was in Indonesia announcing a   
   raft of deals worth about $30 billion and then in Malaysia to announce a   
   "comprehensive strategic    
   partnership", including an upgrade in military ties.    
      
   [Capitalist] China...has been the biggest trade partner of the 10-member   
   Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) since 2009, and its direct   
   investments are surging, bringing with them increased economic and diplomatic   
   influence.   
      
   [Capialist] Chinese companies invested $4.42 billion in Southeast Asia in   
   2012, up 52 percent on the previous year, according to [Capitalist] Chinese   
   state media citing the [Capitalist] China-ASEAN Business Council. Investments   
   into neighboring Vietnam    
   rocketed 147 percent.

   Sunday, 06 October 2013 14:38    
      
      
   KANDAHAR: Officials reporting from Zhiri district say that foreign troops have   
   suffered heavy losses in multiple IED attacks and 2 martyrdom strikes.    
      
      
   According to information, foreign troops were airdropped by helicopters at   
   02:00 am local time today in Sanzari region’s Anarak Dara area prompting   
   Mujahideen to immediately target them with IEDs.    
      
   2 other martyrdom seekers (Sanaullah and Fareed Ahmad, both from Kandahar   
   province) armed with explosives vests that were housed in an empty compound by   
   Mujahideen later struck the invaders one after the other as the enemy was busy   
   treating their    
   casualties from the blasts.    
      
   The twin martyrdom attacks and 10 IED blasts killed and wounded a total of 30   
   invaders that were later evacuated off site by medical helicopters, according   
   to witnesses who add that the body parts of the invaders are still scattered   
   around the area.    
      
   Mujahideen later recovered 2 enemy assault rifles, a rocket launcher, 3 night   
   vision goggles and other equipment.
