Actually Paul Craig Roberts is an attorney, and a former official in the Reagan administration... Deputy Treasury Secretary I believe.

Paul Craig Roberts is a guy who used to write for The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek. He's got a Ph.D in economics from UVA.

He was a deputy secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration.

Back then he claimed to be a conservative.

Then when he began hating America he starting calling himself a "palaeoconservative" or a "true conservative" - you know, like Pat Buchanan or Charley Reese.

The when he began writing for Marxist sites like antiwar.com and counterpunch.org he started calling himself a "libertarian" or a "palaeolibertarian."

He basically hates America, Jews, George Bush and free enterprise - the same stuff that palaeolibertarians, palaeoconservatives, Marxists, anarchists, neo-Nazis and jihadists all hate.

* John Craig Roberts is a former associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, former contributing editor for National Review, and was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan administration. Dr. Roberts is Chairman of the Institute for Political Economy and Research Fellow at the Independent Institute.

The above is from the end of the posted story. IMHO John Craig Roberts is a very dangerous individual as he appears to have the credentials which convey an air of legitimacy to what would otherwise be dismissed as the ravings of a crackpot.
