Boiling Frogs: Paul Craig Roberts on Obama, Osama and the “hoax” of American Democracy; Will Durst on Wiener’s Mis-Tweet

Paul Craig Roberts, an outspoken former Reagan administration official, joins us for the latest Boiling Frogs interview, co-hosted with Sibel Edmonds.  [Be sure to see the update on Gulen’s US charter schools at Boiling Frogs Post.]  Will Durst comments on Rep. Anthony Wiener’s Twitter scandal, starting at 1:01:15

Paul Craig Roberts joins us to discuss the September 11 terrorist attacks as the defining event of our time, which has launched our nation on interminable wars of aggression, a domestic police state where the American President is a Caesar and completely above the law. He describes the US corporate media’s role today, which is to serve the government and the interest groups that empower the government, their astonishing blackout on legitimate investigations regarding 9/11 such as the demand for a new investigation supported by more than 1500 architects and engineers, and how currently the majority of Americans are ruled by propaganda and with little regard for truth and little access to it. Mr. Roberts talks about the conflicting, ever-changing and in many ways dubious accounts of the killing of Osama Bin Laden, the Military Industrial Complex’ need for the next ‘black hat,’ the question of China, and more!
