I don't think former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal PCR really needs you to advertise for him. He was carried by over 300 newspapers and just had to upgrade his server because his server couldn't handle the traffic his site was producing. Success is the best revenge.

I'm familiar with Roberts' resume, also familiar with his interpretation of America as villain aggressor. I invite OPP participants to do what I did when I ran into Roberts' postings by Pana...google Paul Craig Roberts and check out his current writings and judge for yourself whether they are anti-American and traitorous.

By the way Patty, how did you manage to post half an OPP page quoting Roberts' resume within fifteen minutes of my post you were reponding to?

Starving out the poor in Ukraine seem to be the plan of the IMF and the EU puppet countries of the west.
"According to a report in Kommersant-Ukraine, the finance ministry of Washington’s stooges in Kiev who are pretending to be a government has prepared an economic austerity plan that will cut Ukrainian pensions from $160 to $80 so that Western bankers who lent money to Ukraine can be repaid at the expense of Ukraine’s poor. http://www.kommersant.ua/doc/2424454 It is Greece all over again.

Before anything approaching stability and legitimacy has been obtained for the puppet government put in power by the Washington orchestrated coup against the legitimate, elected Ukraine government, the Western looters are already at work. Naive protesters who believed the propaganda that EU membership offered a better life are due to lose half of their pension by April. But this is only the beginning.

The corrupt Western media describes loans as “aid.” However, the 11 billion euros that the EU is offering Kiev is not aid. It is a loan. Moreover, it comes with many strings, including Kiev’s acceptance of an IMF austerity plan.

Remember now, gullible Ukrainians participated in the protests that were used to overthrow their elected government, because they believed the lies told to them by Washington-financed NGOs that once they joined the EU they would have streets paved with gold. Instead they are getting cuts in their pensions and an IMF austerity plan.

The austerity plan will cut social services, funds for education, layoff government workers, devalue the currency, thus raising the prices of imports which include Russian gas, thus electricity, and open Ukrainian assets to takeover by Western corporations.

Ukraine’s agriculture lands will pass into the hands of American agribusiness"......

Gee, Patty, posting more anti-American propaganda? Do you really think just because RWEs on OPP believe fantasies about Obama that they'll buy into your and Paul Craig Roberts'' 'America the Agressor' propaganda?

Patty

Funny how the anti rights people aren't bright enough to figure out that the more they try to stifle our 1st amendment rights the more we will speak out and expose them as the tools of the Wall street puppet government they are. Kind of sad to be so confused. I feel sorry for them.
