Trust me: YOU will be amazed by this 1.5 hr interview with Dr. Craig Roberts. Discussion about the US economy, China, Iran, 9/11 and Bush's "above the law" proclaimed power....

Please listen to this incredible interview - you will learn:

http://www.electricpolitics.com/index.html

Roberts was a high-ranking economist in the Reagan administration, and states unequivocally that Reagan would have been impeached if he had "done only a fraction" of what Bush has done over the past 4 years. He even states the Bush administration must be spying on the Democrats with the NSA program...and that Iran is likely a trap that could be Bush's undoing.

Like I said, this is an incredible interview with someone who has credability on lots of issues.

Just finished listening to the interview. God, that was depressing. Accurate, but depressing.

Reagan was a piece of scheisse. so why should I listen to this guy from the Scheisse administration?

The reelection of Reagan in 1984 was the End of Hope.

&$%& him. He just blamed Democrats for "Supply-side economics." #$*& HIM.

"I am uncontaminated by partisan politics," he essentially says. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

i listened to him - he writes for counterpunch so i knew what he'd say - but give the old curmudgeon a break. So why did those buildings - especially building 47 - fall like they did ??? Huh? I always dismissed this stuff and so does Roberts (mostly) - but didn't the Nazis burn the Riechstag ??? What makes you think that Cheney isn't as crazy as Hitler??
Jesus - now, just writing this makes me think that the knock on my door is not far off!!!

I like the way Dr. Roberts thinks. Thanks for that link, it was enlightening.

I like Paul Craig Roberts. It's interesting to read views from what we used to consider widely varying viewpoints and find that now they all sound remarkably sane and similar in comparison to the wild infantile rantings from certain leaders these days.

I relent. Starting around minute 30, the guy starts sounding like someone with a brain.

It's all that economics stuff that makes people crazy. It is, after all, a pseudo science.

so. listen. I said so.

Great interview. Thanks for the link.

Thanks.

He's confirming what I have already been thinking in regards to Iran - and other subjects beyond the scope of PO.com.

bwa in a way the two items are the same

don't fall for the common consensus, think, rethink
don't just assume that what's being told by 'everyone' is therefor the truth
no one knows for sure, but at least be critical

and no one can deny the fact that there are several indications that don't stroke with the official explanation, unless of course you're in denial
not unusual when confronted with compelling stuff

Good interview and scary obvious most of that stuff.

Those buildings came down like a controlled demolition and nothing is going to change my mind about that, not even being marginalized as a delusional Bush-hater!

911 is not discussed here VERY much. It erupts every once in a while but we are not inundated with it.

Besides it is in part related to PO policy making by the US gov. and others indirectly. Hint, War on Terror in Strategic Oil Rich Countries Smile
