3/26/21 Joe Dyke on the Secret Talks that Nearly Saved Gaddafi
Scott interviews Joe Dyke about his coverage of the little-known secret talks between Norwegian diplomats and Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, which sought a peaceful end to the war there. Although Norway was a part of the group of countries that decided to begin bombing Libya, the talks remained mostly a secret, and the Norwegian negotiators even had to be evacuated right before the bombing started. According to Dyke's reporting, Gaddafi was open to a deal that would involve his stepping down peacefully in exchange for legal immunity. The Norwegian government, he says, tried to get Britain and...
3/26/21 Kalmen Barkin on Israel’s Uncompromising Parliamentary Extremists
Kalmen Barkin fills Scott in on the political situation in Israel, a country that in his words is in complete political deadlock. Leading right wing figures like Prime Minister Netanyahu have had trouble forming clear ruling coalitions recently, in part because of their unwillingness to work at all with Palestinians. Barkin says that Netanyahu is also trying to find a way out of his power sharing agreement with Benny Gantz, which he agreed to in order to form a coalition in the last election. Because of all this deadlock, Israel is facing yet another round of elections. This episode of the...
3/26/21 Jim Bovard on the Government Cover-Up of the Waco Massacre
Scott talks to Jim Bovard about the Waco massacre, and especially the second investigation into the government's actions, led by Senator John Danforth in 1999. After new evidence emerged that contradicted the official government story, another investigation was conducted, but Bovard says that its mission all along was really just to whitewash the government's malfeasance. Danforth was a moderate Republican and a darling of the establishment, who had his eyes on the vice presidency in the Bush administration. He did his cover-up job effectively, as Bovard outlines in a new piece; the horrific...

What I Told the Montana State Senate
Americans For Prosperity and Concerned Veterans of America had me out to give a talk to a committee of the Montana State Senate in Helena on Tuesday. Here is some of the audio. The first 15 minutes or so about how the corruption of the military industrial complex and the boom and bust caused by the pro-empire easy money policy is pushing American liberals toward socialism are unfortunately not included.
3/18/21 Daniel Davis: America Must Finally and Fully Withdraw from Iraq
Daniel Davis talks about the need to fully withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq. He traces the history of terrible decision-making there since 2003, which has encumbered America in an unwinnable war for almost two decades. Worse, we can't leave. Thanks to political pressure that threatens to blame any president for the temporary chaos that would result from a U.S. absence, no one seems willing to make the effort to pull troops out once and for all. Instead, says Davis, the U.S. will probably leave a small force in Iraq indefinitely, which does nothing to advance American interests, and only leaves...
3/18/21 Dave DeCamp on Biden’s Haphazard Russia Policy
Scott interviews Dave DeCamp about President Biden's Russia policy. In an interview with George Stephanopoulos, Biden notably called Putin a "killer;" his administration has also increased sanctions against Russia and instituted some export restrictions in response to its treatment of opposition leader Alexei Navalny. In response to these incidents, Russia has recalled its ambassador to the U.S. DeCamp points out that Biden's foreign policy isn't turning out to be all that different than Trump's—he has just managed to appoint people who are more popular with the political establishment, and...
