Walter Wallace’s Mother Called the Cops on Him

by Scott Horton | Oct 27, 2020 | Blog

Philadelphia cops killed a black man, Walter Wallace, who was, despite early reports that he was standing still, charging them with a knife. A massive riot has broken out in response. https://twitter.com/GoStonerLife/status/1320879409411350534 They almost certainly could have tried to tase him first. Instead they shot him 10 times to death. But guess who called the Nazi Gestapo White Supremacist Strormtroopers of Death to come and "help" Wallace: His own mother. Good old government. They're here to take real good care of us all, right? That's what it says on the TV. Lesson learned the hard...

Cops Kill Man

And lie about it and cover it up another black guy set up on some stupid drug sting but remember it doesn't matter because in America government employees can murder whoever they feel like. Got it?

10/23/20 Daniel Davis: Trump vs. Biden on Foreign Policy

by Scott Horton | Oct 23, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Daniel Davis is back, this time for a discussion of Trump and Biden's foreign policy positions in light of last night's presidential debate. Overall Davis thinks it's good that Trump hasn't started any new wars—unlike all of his recent predecessors—but is disappointed by the extent to which he has been unable to put his antiwar campaign promises into practice. Davis think Trump made good strides toward peace with North Korea, something that Biden predictably attacked him for during the debate. This is one signal that Biden, along with the rest of the establishment, would seek a return to...

10/23/20 Danny Sjursen on Nagorno-Karabakh and America’s Failed Afghanistan Strategy

by Scott Horton | Oct 23, 2020 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Danny Sjursen about the latest in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, where Sjursen says about 5,000 people have likely been killed. The media narrative about this situation, explains Sjursen, has always been that Russia is providing material support to Armenia, and encourages the fighting for their own geopolitical purposes. In reality though, Russia supports both sides to some extent, and really only has an interest in peace, since these countries are so close to Russia's own borders. Most of the existing peace talks during this decades-long...

Qualified Immunity: Your New Supreme Overlord Barrett: You Have No Right To Not Be Suffocated to Death by Your Security Force

by Scott Horton | Oct 22, 2020 | Blog

Read it and weep: If no court has ruled that you have the right to breathe, then no court can rule that you have the right to breathe. Neat trick. "the only right plaintiffs can assert would be the right of an out-of-breath arrestee to not have his hands cuffed behind his back after he complains of difficulty breathing. We find no Seventh Circuit precedent clearly establishing such a right."

Forget Firing the Prosecutor, Biden Overthrew the Government of Ukraine in 2014

by Scott Horton | Oct 21, 2020 | Blog

The reason Burisma hired his crackhead son is that they were in tight with the government he overthrew and so were trying to cozy up to the new powers in town. But anyway, here's the intercepted phone call between Robert Kagan's wife Victoria Nuland conspiring with the ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt about how to accomplish the coup, which was leaked two weeks before they went ahead and did it anyway. [Thanks Russia for the intercept! By the way, there are still 30,000 missing Hillary Clinton emails out there somewhere if you get a chance...] Nuland: So on that piece Geoff, when I...
