Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron is Guilty Accessory to Murder of Breonna Taylor

by Scott Horton | Oct 1, 2020 | Blog

He should be imprisoned for the rest of his life along with his co-conspirators, the trigger-men, Jonathan Mattingly and Myles Cosgrove. New York magazine: It’s getting harder to deny the likelihood that Kentucky attorney general Daniel Cameron lied, and lied multiple times, when he explained why a grand jury decided not to charge any police officer with a crime for killing Breonna Taylor. Cameron’s office presented evidence to the jury, but the only criminal charges he announced last week were against Brett Hankison, the Louisville officer who fired blindly into Taylor’s apartment on March...

The ‘Black Bloc’ Anarchists Who Might As Well Be Working For the Republicans

by Scott Horton | Oct 1, 2020 | Blog

I feel sorry for the black people from the neighborhood who just want the cops to stop murdering them but who -- at least in many major cities -- cannot have a peaceful protest without white anarcho-communists coming and turning the place into a live-action Trump commercial. I used to know some of the left-anarchists who went to Seattle in 1999 for the WTO protest and such. They were good kids mostly, but they don't know what they're talking about or what role they're really playing. But they never started major riots or set fires the way these people are now. And of course the worse the...

9/28/20 Kevin Gosztola: Week Four of the Assange Extradition Hearing

by Scott Horton | Sep 28, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Kevin Gosztola is back for another update on Julian Assange's extradition hearing, where most recently the defense has been debunking the prosecution's claim that Assange engaged in a hacking scheme with Chelsea Manning. Gosztola says the defense was able to establish the baselessness of this claim, based in part on the fact that WikiLeaks had already published just about everything Manning leaked to them before the supposed hacking would have taken place. Gosztola fears that despite this small victory, the prosecution will simply move on to something else, given that their entire case seems...

9/25/20 Gilbert Doctorow on the US Government’s Provocative Russia Policy

by Scott Horton | Sep 28, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Gilbert Doctorow discusses the latest aggressive maneuvers being carried out by the U.S. government and its allies toward Russia. Doctorow says that the flying of planes near Russia's border just for intelligence gathering is quite common and relatively unthreatening—but lately America has been sending bombers to those same areas, which actively engage their weapons systems in a way that Russia can detect. Doctorow says that the only possible motive for doing this is to send the message that America is still in charge, and that our NATO allies, who accompany U.S. planes on many of these...

9/25/20 Jessica Katzenstein on the Militarization of American Police

by Scott Horton | Sep 27, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Jessica Katzenstein from the Costs of War Project about her recent paper on the effects of America's foreign wars on police militarization. She and Scott trace police militarization to the escalation of the war on drugs in the 1990s, when SWAT raids became especially prevalent. Today that trend has reached all-time highs, with Katzenstein estimating 60,000 raids per year. With so much military equipment being funneled to police departments from the military and Homeland Security, Scott describes the situation as hardly any different than a foreign army patrolling—and...

Breonna Taylor: The Stupid Cop May Have Shot Partner in the Leg

by Scott Horton | Sep 27, 2020 | Blog

Ballistics report doesn't support Kentucky AG's claim that Breonna Taylor's boyfriend shot cop A Kentucky State Police ballistics report does not support state Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s assertion that Breonna Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, shot a Louisville police officer the night she was killed. Cameron told reporters Wednesday the investigation of Taylor’s death March 13 had ruled out “friendly fire” from ex-officer Brett Hankison as the source of the shot that went through Sgt. Jonathan Mattingly’s thigh, prompting him and Officer Myles Cosgrove to return fire, killing...

Here the obviously compromised-by-Russia CNN "reporters" Jasmine Wright, Rachel Janfaza and Gregory Krieg say there are reasons for leftists to oppose Biden: Progressive activists are wary over criminal justice under a Biden-Harris administration They cite all leftie activists who say they are going to vote for Biden-Harris, but without enthusiasm.
