Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, who was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration and associate editor of the Wall Street Journal, made the remarks in an article published on Thursday.
"The suspects can be both guilty and patsies. Just remember all the terrorist plots created by the FBI that served to make the terrorism threat real to Americans," he wrote.
He said that the French economy is suffering from the US-imposed sanctions against Russia. "Shipyards are impacted from being unable to deliver Russian orders due to France's vassalage status to Washington, and other aspects of the French economy are being adversely impacted by sanctions that Washington forced its NATO puppet states to apply to Russia."
Dr. Roberts stated that French President Francois Hollande this week said that the sanctions against Russia should end. "This is too much foreign policy independence on France's part for Washington."
He added that the CIA has apparently resurrected a policy that it followed against Europeans during the post-WW II era when the US spy agency would carry out attacks in European states and blame them on communist groups.
Dr. Roberts said now the US agencies have planned false flag operations in Europe to create hatred against Muslims and bring European countries under Washington's sphere of influence.
He noted that "the attack on Charlie Hebdo was an inside job and that people identified by NSA as hostile to the Western wars against Muslims are going to be framed for an inside job designed to pull France firmly back under Washington's thumb."
The widely read columnist stated that the US "government tells Americans whatever story the government puts together and sits and laughs at the gullibility of the public."
I previously reached the same tentative conclusion. You should hear the talking heads on TV who having found these two guys guilty then analyse their motives in the light (darkness?) of the War on Terror paradigm.
Note that it does not matter what your views are provided that they lie within the paradigm. The paradigm is the belief these media priests are selling. This is how SoTT is constantly duped in certain areas and why they constantly output the false paradigm in these areas. They resell the belief and no amount of elementary logic can disuade them.
The outstanding question to me is only whether these two guys actually did the shooting. Of course we cannot tell as the killers were masked but they went to the wrong building so they don't look to have come from Paris or to have ever been there to plan the attack. All we really know is that the suspects were killed away from independent observers. They may have been tied up in this building for all we know. Who in the MSM has pointed this out? Who has refrained from calling them guilty?
Roberts is right on the Russian angle. This appeared to be the motive as Hollande was breaking ranks on the sanctions. They want him to tow the line.
