Meet Charles...

New York Times bestselling author Charles Goyette is known for his outspoken opposition to Washington’s elective and fruitless regime change wars and for his economic commentary.

His new book, THE EMPIRE OF LIES: Fragments from the Memory Hole, is described by the publisher as “The Shameful Story of the Deep State’s War Lords, War Lies, and Failed Foreign Interventions.” It is a non-partisan tale of personalities and political deceit, false flags and fake news, coups and Cold Wars, and inconceivable blunders that have cost American lives, rights, and prosperity.

Charles is the author of the New York Times and international bestseller THE DOLLAR MELTDOWN which has also been printed in foreign languages, RED AND BLUE AND BROKE ALL OVER, and the co-author of THE LAST GOLD RUSH... EVER!

In the years immediately following his presidential run, Charles joined forces with Congressman Ron Paul for the nationally syndicated radio commentary Ron Paul’s America, heard twice daily on 125 radio stations and on a sponsored long-form podcast.

He spent many years as an award-winning and popular Phoenix radio personality with America’s leading broadcast companies, including Pulitzer, Hearst Argyle, and Clear Channel. Charles was widely known as “America’s Most Independent Talk Show Host,” and was voted Best Phoenix Talk Show Host by listeners who couldn’t get enough of his “Fearless Talk Radio.”

Charles has also been a participant in the national political debate as a popular public speaker and has been called upon often to share his views with national televisions audiences, including on Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, PBS, CNBC and Fox Business Channel. He has appeared often on popular programs like Fox and Friends, the O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly, Stossel with John Stossel on Fox News, and FreedomWatch with Judge Napolitano on Fox Business; NOW with Bill Moyers on PBS; and on Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN.

 He has written for a number of magazines including The American Conservative and Gannett magazines, and for LewRockwell.com, The Libertarian Institute, CNBC.com, WorldNetDaily.com, and TheStreet.com.

Charles served as a news anchor with the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service and is a recipient of the Army Commendation Medal for meritorious service.

Goyette had long rejected the U.S. national security policy known as Mutual Assured Destruction or MAD, in which the civilian population of the U.S. was rendered defenseless as a matter of policy and held hostage in the nation’s nuclear strategy. Before the election of Ronald Reagan, Charles became a supporter of a new defense policy to end the Cold War standoff. After Reagan’s election, at the invitation of Reagan advisor General Daniel O. Graham, former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and Deputy Director of the CIA and the originator of the Strategic Defense Initiative, Charles became a member of the national speakers’ bureau of High Frontier, the leading public policy organization founded by Graham to promote what became known as Reagan’s Star Wars defense initiative.

During the Iraq war, Goyette became a regular contributor of geopolitical radio shows, commentary, and interviews to the leading website AntiWar.com.

Charles was a founding member and Director of the former Leonardo da Vinci Society for the Study of Thinking. The Society’s annual inductees included theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, creative thinking theorist Edward de Bono, physicist Fritjof Capra, inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil, biologist Lynn Margulis, and lunar astronaut Edgar Mitchell. He is the Friedrich Hayek Fellow at The Libertarian Institute.

Charles has written a limited series screenplay on the life of the famous American seer Edgar Cayce, as well as a reality-based political thriller, The President’s Wife.
