10/16/20 Eric Margolis on Trump’s Supposed Middle East ‘Peace’ Deals

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Eric Margolis discusses President Trump's recent peace deals between Israel and some of the Arab states. First Margolis explains that these aren't really peace deals; what they do is simply make public the normalization of relations between countries that were already tacitly at peace. More importantly, they help further isolate the Palestinians from their supposed allies, which will most likely make it much easier for Israel to continue annexation in the future. Finally, these deals strengthen relationships between U.S. arms manufacturers and foreign government buyers, something that Trump...

10/16/20 Aaron Maté: OPCW Malfeasance and More ‘Russiagate’ Updates

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott interviews Aaron Maté about his testimony to the UN Security Council regarding the alleged chemical weapons attack in Douma, Syria in 2018. After the Trump administration authorized retaliatory bombing in response to the incident, the OPCW sent investigators to follow up on the claims of chemical weapons use. After a year, they released a report justifying the U.S. response. The trouble, as Maté explains, is that OPCW inspectors then started coming forward claiming that their findings had been altered or suppressed in order to paint a more favorable picture for the U.S. and its allies....

10/16/20 Andrew Cockburn on the Dangerous and Unconstitutional Powers of Modern Presidents

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott interviews Andrew Cockburn about the steady growth of unconstitutional powers that the federal government—and the president in particular—can summon during "emergencies." Some of these powers are well-known, like extraordinary law enforcement and surveillance techniques that have been justified by the war on terror and the war on drugs. Others are more secretive, and the American public has basically no way of finding out about such powers until the government decides to use them. Cockburn points out the ways that unprecedented powers have already been summoned during the covid...

10/15/20 Matt Agorist on Breonna Taylor and American Police Abuse

by | Oct 16, 2020 |

Scott talks to Matt Agorist about some recent cases of unlawful police killings and police abuse in this country, both the high-profile incidents and the ones that escape mainstream notice. Agorist reminds us of the details of the Breonna Taylor case, in which police officers who were actually looking for Taylor's ex-boyfriend fatally shot her in the middle of the night while executing a no-knock warrant. The ex-boyfriend, it turns out, had already been arrested by that point. One officer has been charged for recklessly shooting into neighboring apartments, but the rest of the officers have...

Police Officers Are Horrible People

by | Oct 15, 2020 |

Even the ones that aren't child-rapists or unarmed-black guy-killers are still rat-bastard scumbags not worth their fathers' spilled seed. Like these guys. And this one. Cops love to pretend that good people support them, and that the only people who don't are criminals. Well that's simply not true. They are lawless jack-booted thugs, despised by all good men and women. Anyone who doesn't hate them is either a damned fool or the lowest sort of boot-licking fascist themselves.
