For "breaking into" his own home, they had their German Shepherd maul him for two minutes and then laughed as he bled to death. And, of course, they all got away with it and they will all get away with it because they are government employees so they can do whatever they want.
Scott interviews Andy Worthington about his testimony in Julian Assange's extradition hearing. Worthington reminds us how important the revelations in Chelsea Manning's Guantanamo Files leak were, stressing just how much harm has been done to the dozens of men held, and often tortured, there—including the 40 who are still detained today. Assange, says Worthington, is not a hacker or a hostile intelligence actor; he is simply a heroic journalist working to expose government crimes to the people. Discussed on the show: "Rasul v. Bush" (Oyez) "The Guantanamo Files" (WikiLeaks) Andy Worthington...
An entirely innocent, unarmed man; a "pillar of the community" who had stopped to break up a fight. It is already a foregone conclusion of course that there will be no accountability whatsoever for this heinous murder because the guilty criminal perpetrator is a government employee, and they can all murder whoever they feel like murdering.
Danny Sjursen explains the complicated situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, a piece of Azerbaijani territory that has been under de facto Armenian control since the 1990s.

Both sides have fought over the territory for years, but an uneasy truce has held ever since the conclusion of a six-year war in the 80s and 90s. In the last few days, however, violence has broken out again, and Sjursen fears that war...

Scott interviews Jeffrey Kaye about his bombshell report on U.S. war crimes during the Korean War. For decades, Kaye says, the narrative advanced by America and the UN has been that although Japan, our ally, is known to have conducted experiments in chemical and biological warfare, any claims that the U.S. engaged in such activities are nothing more than communist propaganda. Even today, anyone alleging that America used such weapons in Korea is labeled a conspiracy theorist. But Kaye has now meticulously combed through a trove of recently-released documents from American intelligence that...
The first of Sheldon's two appearances on Roderick Long's Agoric Cafe is now posted. They discuss a variety of issues. Part two will be posted next Sunday.
Scott talks to Nicolas Davies about America's continuing role in the war in Yemen. Although the Trump administration has ended some of the more direct involvement like mid-air refueling of Saudi bombers, Saudi Arabia still very much relies on our help to wage its war against the people of Yemen, not least because of the fact that all of their weapons and equipment come from the U.S. Scott reminds us that Trump could end this war with a single phone call. Davies also describes Congress' efforts to stop American support for the war, all of which Trump has stymied. Discussed on the show: "Two...
