Hey, remember those Charlie Hebdo attacks? You thought they were perpetrated by radical Islamic terrorists?
Well, the Ron Paul Institute for Peace and Prosperity says you could be wrong. Here’s what one of their website’s articles has to say:
The Charlie Hebdo affair has many of the characteristics of a false flag operation. The attack on the cartoonists’ office was a disciplined professional attack of the kind associated with highly trained special forces; yet the suspects who were later corralled and killed seemed bumbling and unprofessional. It is like two different sets of people.
The article’s author – Paul Craig Roberts – also appears to be somewhat . . . interesting. He seems to be a bit of a ”9/11 Truther” who in November 2012 held al Qaeda’s link to 9/11 to be “unsubstantiated”. He also IMO seems to hold some other, er, interesting and decidedly non-traditional opinions – like saying in May 2011 that “there is probably more democracy in China than in the West.”
Predictably, Ron Paul is already doing damage control to head off blowback from Roberts’ article. He says he doesn’t think that even Roberts believes his own article – he just “wanted a discussion”.
Yeah, right. We’ve seen this kind of ridiculous, self-serving tap-dance before from Ron Paul. Specifically, we saw the same regarding those the racist materials in his 1990s newsletters that he seems to have approved, then later blamed on “staff”. Yet colleagues of Paul’s from that time say Paul routinely proofed those letters and personally approved their content.
The institute has your name, Paul – just like those newsletters did. And given your past actions, I’m not buying the obvious attempt at damage control this time around either.
Sheesh. I guess that figures. I suppose it’s too much to expect the Left to have all the fools individuals who see the world through “alternate perspectives of reality”.
