Yes they are, Willis Carto and the boys.
As I noted earlier, the references to Paul's regular participation at AFP I could find Friday were largely from blogs and Wiki, which I don't particularly find reliable. Links to what appear to be articles were dead. However below is an excerpt from the American Free Press Media Guide, my increased type size. If Ron Paul isn't an AFP columnist, he's being presented as one to advertisers. IMO an amazingly stupid association for a Presidential candidate.
Here’s a partial list of our best-known journalists:
James P. Tucker Jr. is well-known for his pursuit of the Bilderberg
Group, a coterie of powerbrokers, industry magnates, journalists,
media moguls and world leaders that meet in secret in a different world
venue every year. Alone among American newspapers, only AFP brings
you information on this shadowy cabal. Jim also pens our weekly
Spotlight on Congress feature which keeps you abreast of all the important
legislation before lawmakers and what it means to you. Jim was
recently featured on a History Channel documentary.
Mike Blair, best known for his ground-breaking work exposing the U.S.
government’s abandonment of American POWs and MIAs in Korea
and Vietnam, specializes in military affairs and domestic affairs. Blair
was cited by Project Censored for having uncovered the top “most censored”
story of 1990—a scheme to scuttle the Bill of Rights in the name
of “fighting crime.”
Christopher Bollyn’s coverage of the depleted uranium issue and also
his groundbreaking reports on Sept. 11, has gotten him a bevy of
admiring followers. Christopher, who is fluent in five languages, also
mans the international desk, travelling the world for on the spot coverage
in Europe, South America and the Mideast.

We are also proud to publish these columnists:
Rep. Ron Paul, a medical doctor, is a Republican member of the U.S.
Congress who represents the 14th District of Texas. Often called “Dr.

the Libertarian Party presidential candidate in 1988.
Paul Craig Roberts, Ph.D., a former editor at The Wall Street Journal,
is the author of several books. He has been associated with the

style has won him a host of devoted followers who relish his
