OPINION ONLY
Craig R Smith
(Radio host and gold trader - Religious) — A radio jock from the Religious right of the Republican party. — This Craig R Smith seems to have had no involvement with the tobacco industry at all. He is included here mainly for disambiguation with the other Craig R Smiths.
 This Craig Smith is a right-wing talk-show host and self-publisher of book of financial advise which aligns closely with his gold trading business.
He appears to dabble in Republican politics but not to the extent of the Professor Craig R Smith of the Californian State University, Long Beach.
Most of his references carry long and elaborate puff-pieces and many articles attacking the much-despised liberals. These postings are generally little more than standard mouth-frothing right-wing diatribes, supplemented by more than a hint of self-satisfied religiousity. See this Craig Smith's website http://www.craigrsmith.com and articles at http://www.wnd.com/news/.
| PUFF-PIECE | Craig R. Smith is Chairman of Swiss America Trading Corporation, a national investment firm specializing in U.S. gold and silver coins. Mr. Smith founded the company in 1982 out of a bedroom in his home with $50.00. It has since grown into one of the largest and most respected firms in the industry known for its dedication to consumer education and safety.
Mr. Smith is an expert in many forms of tangible assets including; oil, precious metals and U.S. numismatic (collectible) coins. He is often sought after by the media for his common sense insights on breaking news, world events, and financial trends. Over the past two decades
Mr. Smith has been interviewed on over 1,500 radio and TV programs. He has also been featured in various print publications. These include: FOX News, CNN, CNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CBN, TBN, Time, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and Newsweek. Craig is a frequent guest on Fox's Your World with Neil Cavuto and Harvest TV's Money Moment. He also writes a weekly editorial for WorldNetDaily.com.
Mr. Smith's free market economic worldview offers audiences a breath of fresh air amid today's failed 'big government' approach. He believes we need a revival of self-government and free market principles to help rebuild the American economy; unlike the current administration's belief in multi-trillion dollar 'cradle-to-grave' government dependence. |
In his WorldNetDaily articles he figures as a first-order "Barack Hussein Obama"-hater and a Clinton-loather (of both kinds ... Bill & Hillary)
This is the quintessential Republican reptile who made Americam politics what it is today.
He is also not above using his columns in WorldNetDaily to promote his gold business. 
DISAMBIGUATION
There is endless opportunity for confusion here.
This is the gold trading Craig R Smith who runs a religious right radio programs and writes web blogs.
There is also a Democrat Craig T Smith — a former Clinton White House political director who was briefly the campaign manager for the Gore 2000 Presidential campaign from May 1999 and later became the vice president of Democratic Outreach at Voter.com.
Another is a staunchly Republican political operator and university professor, Craig R Smith who has spent his life defaming 'liberals' like Gore.
Another Craig R Smith is a famous US surgeon; another who is a professional baseball player; then there's an architect; Boston trial lawyer; President/CEO of Owens & Minor. etc..
The world is full of Craig Smiths.

1982: Established and became Chairman of the Swiss America Trading Corporation a buyer and seller of gold (including scrap). A later [2000] puff piece says: Craig R. Smith is Chairman of Swiss America Trading Corporation, an investment firm specializing in US gold and silver coins. Smith founded the company in 1982 out of a bedroom in his home with $50.00. It has since grown into one of the largest and most respected firms in the industry known for its dedication to consumer education and safety.
An expert in tangible assets, he is an author, commentator and frequent radio and television guest because he instantly engages audiences with his common-sense analysis of economic trends. He writes a weekly column for Worldnetdaily.com and Real Money Perspectives newsletter.
Mr. Smith's free market economic worldview offers Americans a breath of fresh air amid today's failed 'big government' approach.

1993 Mar 2: "Smith assisted the FBI with the Waco standoff" by allowing David Koresh of the beseiged Brach Davidian sect to deliver a message on his national radio program, America Talks on the Christian Broadcasting Network.
1997: He inspired the national launch of the Year 2000 National Educational Taskforce (Y2KNET). This taskforce distributed millions of free resources from the American Red Cross.
1999: He turned his attention toward protecting families from objectionable, pornographic and violent content on the web with a internet content filteriing program called We-Blocker. This program was made available free of charge to families around the country.
2001: He published his first book, Rediscovering Gold in the 21st Century: The Complete Guide to the Next Gold Rush
2005: Wrote with Jerome Corsi, his second book Black Gold Stranglehold: The Myth of Scarcity and the Politics of Oil . Apparently in this book "Smith and Corsi also expose the fraudulent science behind the belief that oil is a fossil fuel and a finite resource." [It was a gift of the fairies]
2008 Feb 12: Smith's article "Abuse of the presidency" published by the far right WorldNetDaily was in hot defence of President Dubya Bush, and fierce in its attack on Hillary Clinton. When people in America were claiming Bill Clinton ordered air strikes to deflect the Lewinsky scandal, I was very vocal with my criticism. Pundits were all singing the "Wag the Dog" song. The leaders of the Republican Party were not part of the choir.
One thing I can assure you: You won't see Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney acting like Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton or Al Gore. That is for sure. The Bush administration has too much respect for itself and the country for that to happen.
Decorum has been thrown out the window by a power hungry Democratic Party that will sacrifice anything to regain power. Even if the presidency, military and ultimately the country are the offering. It's as if Democrats suffer from Munchausen by Proxy syndrome. If they destroy the presidency, military and the country they will have something to fix once they take up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
He was calling for a constant attack on Democrat Presidents in retaliation for the treatment of Bush. See the complex story which is "unintentionally as funny as hell"
2010: Mr. Smith and his wife Melissa reside in Paradise Valley, Arizona.
2010: WorldNetDaily (WND) credits him as: Craig R. Smith is an author, commentator and popular media guest because he instantly engages audiences with his common-sense analyses of local, national and global trends.

2011: In his third book THE INFLATION DECEPTION: Seven Ways Government Tricks Us...And Seven Ways to Stop It!, (July 2011) Mr. Smith and his co-author former think tank futurist Lowell Ponte expose the long-unseen powerful forces behind the current economic crisis. http://www.craigrsmith.com/about.php

In the 1990s he had "The Lowell Ponte Show on the ABC Radio Network. which "discussed the consumer impact of FDA regulatory practices" [Which inadvertently provided exposure to the Citizens for a Sound Economy's pro-tobacco viewpoints.] He also ran a PBS West Coast Production Center.
His popular science book in 1979 entitled "The Cooling" explained that in this dawning of a New Ice Age "the cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people in poor nations... If it continues, and no strong measures are taken to deal with it, the cooling will cause world famine, world chaos, and probably world war, and this could all come by the year 2000."
