Scholar, Academic, Journalist, Reagan Administration Assistant Treasury Secretary
We are quite fortunate to have Paul Craig Roberts as our guest on RichardGage911:UNLEASHED!
He is the well-known author of 10 books, including a severe critique of the Bush Administration, “The Neoconservative Threat to World Order – Washington’s Perilous War for Hegemony.”
He was no friend of the Obama Administration either. But we are lucky to have him on our side!
[1]He has been a long-time outspoken supporter of my efforts with the Architects & Engineers for 9/11 Truth, and that at considerable risk to his reputation. He wrote this landmark article in the OpEd News which branded him as a “conspiracy theorist’ by the mainstream media back on February 25 2010:
“The Washington Times is a newspaper that looks with favor upon the Bush/Cheney/Obama/neocon wars of aggression in the Middle East and favors making terrorists pay for 9/11. Therefore, I was surprised to learn on February 24 that the most popular story on the paper’s website for the past three days was the “Inside the Beltway” report, “Explosive News,” about the 31 press conferences in cities in the US and abroad on February 19 held by Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth, an organization of professionals which now has 1,000 members.
[2]I was even more surprised that the news report treated the press conference seriously. How did three World Trade Center skyscrapers suddenly disintegrate into fine dust? How did massive steel beams in three skyscrapers suddenly fail as a result of short-lived, isolated, and low temperature fires? “A thousand architects and engineers want to know, and are calling on Congress to order a new investigation into the destruction of the Twin Towers and Building 7,” reports the Washington Times.“
He has as well written very recently a flurry of controversial articles related to the Ukrainian conflict which have landed him further into hot water, including:
- A Quick Decisive Victory Can Prevent a Wider War [4] (2/27/2022)
- Difficult to Find a Way Out of the War that is Enveloping Us [5] (2/27/2022)
- The European Commission President Announces in effect that EU Is Joining the War Against Russia [6] (2/27/2022)
- A Wider War Is In Prospect [7] (2/27/2022)
And in this interview on USA Watchdog [8] he clarifies the history of Russia, Ukraine, the Minsk agreement, and the coup of 2014 that you will not see in the mainstream media. We will be discussing also in our interview with Craig as well – now that I am UNLEASHED!
