The Radicalization of Paul Craig Roberts
Dr. Roberts is an ideal media subject. His resume is impressive and impeccably "respectable." Any news magazine worth a damn would be all over him the way the tabloids are all over Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. After all, he's a Republican intellectual turning on a Republican President. But, no, they treat Roberts as a non-person. Why? Because he declares that we are living under a regime of liars who are getting Americans killed for their lies, an admission that would bring the apparatus of power that they wish to influence, not destroy, crashing down. They cannot dismiss the man's arguments, so they dismiss the man. They deploy their one weapon: the means to plant in the minds of millions of Americans, through repetition or utter blackout, the idea that Something is Very Important or that Someone is Deranged. In Roberts' case, it is the latter. After all, if there really were "something" to what he was saying, surely someone like Mike Wallace would investigate, no?

So what's up with Roberts? This:

Former Asst. Sec. Of Treasury Under Reagan Doubts Official 9/11 Story; Claims Neo Con Agenda Is As 'Insane As Hitler And Nazi Party When They Invaded Russia In Dead Of Winter'

Can Anyone Say “Controlled Demolition”?

Why Did the Trade Center Skyscrapers Collapse?
by Morgan Reynolds


To explain the unanticipated free-fall collapses of the twin towers at the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, mainstream experts (also see The American Professional Constructor, October 2004, pp. 12–18) offer a three-stage argument: 1) an airplane impact weakened each structure, 2) an intense fire thermally weakened structural components that may have suffered damage to fireproofing materials, causing buckling failures, which, in turn, 3) allowed the upper floors to pancake onto the floors below.

Many will nod their head, OK, that does it and go back to watching the NBA finals or whatever, but I find this theory just about as satisfying as the fantastic conspiracy theory that "19 young Arabs acting at the behest of Islamist extremists headquartered in distant Afghanistan" caused 9/11. The government’s collapse theory is highly vulnerable on its own terms, but its blinkered narrowness and lack of breadth is the paramount defect unshared by its principal scientific rival – controlled demolition. Only professional demolition appears to account for the full range of facts associated with the collapses of WTC 1 (North Tower), WTC 2 (South Tower), and the much-overlooked collapse of the 47-story WTC building 7 at 5:21 pm on that fateful day.
