This Russia-based publication consistently pleads for world peace. It has noted Twitter’s abuse of journalism in suspending anti-war commentator, economist and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Craig Roberts for the story from which we quote. We Hold These Truths takes special note of this abuse because Twitter has been made famous among social media, for reason that it is our current President’s favorite communication tool, and this editor used to get two or three “Tweets” a week from him. I can not help but wonder if Twitter is reflecting a Presidential standard of censorship. Judge for yourself.       – Editor CE Carlson

“Roberts, former Asst. Treasury Secretary in the Reagan administration and former contributing editor at the Wall Street Journal has been an outspoken critic of neocon foreign policy and Washington corruption from a conservative viewpoint.
“The suspension came without warning and was noted by journalist Caitlin Johnstone and others Thursday evening:
“Roberts, 79, served in the Reagan administration from 1981 to 1982. He was formerly a distinguished fellow at the Cato Institute and a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution, and has written for the Wall Street Journal and Businessweek. Roberts maintains an active blog.
“He’s also vehemently against interventionary wars around the world, and spoke with Russia’s state-owned Sputnik News in a Tuesday article – in which Roberts said that President Trump’s decision to pull out of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) treaty was a handout to the military-security complex.
“The former Reagan administration official clarified that he does not think that the military-security complex itself wants a war with Russia, but it does want an enemy that can be used to justify more spending.
“Roberts also suggested that ‘The Zionist Neoconservatives are responsible for Washington’s unilateral abandonment of the INF treaty, just as they were responsible for Washington’s unilateral abandonment of the ABM Treaty [in 2002], the Iran nuclear agreement, and the promise not to move NATO one inch to the East.'”
