As well one should be because he's been off his rocker for awhile now. Roberts is a truther who blames the United States and Israel for virtually all the worlds "aggression" for the past 70 years. He's also a regular on RT, InfoWars, PressTV, Counterpunch, and all the other kook sites.
As to the gold stuff, the idea that he who has the most gold wins is silly. First, he has no idea if we have that gold or not. Second, goldbugs who sit around tracking which country is buying and which are selling are typically kind of crazy paulbot types. These are the people who are convinced fiat currency is a neo-con (aka Jew) conspiracy and most of our conflicts are about preventing countries from going to the gold standard.
Because Roberts served in the Reagan administration early on he has something on his resume the left and conspiracy types can point to and claim he's legit. Perhaps at one time he was, but it's clear Paul Craig Roberts has been off his meds for a very long time now.
they can also manipulate the price of gold by printing money to buy the gold they are dumping
it’s not their money. they experience no real loss... just the value of the dollar
” If what he says was true, the price of gold would skyrocket to $3000 almost immediately and it would keep going up.” -K5
I disagree, a bit. If the physical gold custody was fraudulent, there would be a huge difference in price between physical/tangible gold and paper/trust gold.
AFAIK - There is no real difference right now.
The paper/trust gold price would drop compared to the physical gold market (which may or may not rise in price.)
