Prof. Jeffrey Sachs: We are on a path to WWIII | Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom

➡ The author, a Jewish professor at Columbia University, expresses concern about the current state of world affairs, particularly the escalating military actions and lack of public transparency. He criticizes the lack of choices given to the public and the suppression of free speech, especially regarding the ongoing conflict in Gaza. He also highlights the lack of accountability in the government, with closed-door briefings and confidential information preventing the public from holding their leaders to account. Lastly, he warns about the potential for a third world war, drawing parallels to the lead-up to World War I and expressing concern about the movement of NATO troops to Ukraine and Russia’s nuclear drills.

We are on a path to World War III right now. Nothing is explained. Nothing is told us and we have no choices. We’re not offered any choices. The CIA comes in, does the briefings, and off we go to military escalation. The public is profoundly unhappy and the students are getting beaten up. Faculty are getting arrested because you’re not supposed to speak about this. And then this concoction that this is about anti-Semitism, give me a break. I’m a Jewish professor at Columbia University. This is not about anti-Semitism. This is about a slaughter that is taking place in Gaza right now.

And the American people don’t like it. They don’t like our complicity in it and they are protesting it. That’s what this is about. But we don’t behave in any reasonable way right now, even to discuss these things honestly, to know the facts, to have hearings where our executive is called to account by Congress. This was one of the fundamental roles that Congress was supposed to play. It’s laughable to think that this is how anything works right now. It doesn’t. I know it doesn’t. There is no accountability whatsoever. There are closed door briefings. And then if you approach a congressman or senator, as I often do, they say, well, Jeff, I’m just not supposed to talk about such matters.

I’m sure you understand. In the meantime, we have our NATO allies talking about moving troops to Ukraine and Russia entering a tactical nuclear drills right now. This is crazy. This is what you read about on the path to World War I when a few people decided the fate of the world. And we had made a claim that because we are a republic, oh, it couldn’t happen here. But starting in 1947, it has been happening here repeatedly. That’s the year of the National Security Act. That’s the year when we went secret. And now we cannot hold our government accountable because everything is confidential.
