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.
Sad but true. Paul Craig Roberts once contributed a lot to the field of economics. One of the very early advocates for supply side fiscal policies back in the 1970s.
The French even awarded him their Legion of Honor in 1987 for being “the artisan of a renewal in economic science and policy after half a century of state interventionism”.
But he sure looks like he’s been suffering from mental illness for some time. Maybe a form of paranoia.
