9/18/20 Peter Van Buren on ‘Election Meddling’ and the Shameful State of American Journalism

Peter Van Buren discusses yet another development in the "Russiagate" story, one that he says exposes the whole thing for what it really is. He describes the way "media watchdog" groups will discover small, insignificant websites, come up with an excuse for why they seem to be connected to Russia and then get large platforms like Facebook and Twitter to ban those sites in the name of truth and accuracy. Then mainstream publications like the New York Times will run stories about the bans, and Democrats who want to keep the narrative alive can point to the mainstream media coverage as evidence...

9/18/20 Dave Smith on the 2020 Election and the Death of RBG

Scott talks to Dave Smith about the upcoming election and the role of the Libertarian Party in presidential politics. Both agree that the right move for the Party, given that it has essentially no chance of winning the presidency in the near future, is simply to spread the message of liberty to as many people as possible, just as Ron Paul did during his campaigns. Instead, the LP seems more focused on saying the politically correct thing, not offending too many people and accepting a few percentage points at the ballot box. This strategy is sure fail in waking people up to the radical...

Cop Shoots Autistic 13-Year-Old Boy 12 Times

"I don't feel good." the mental toddler says. "Tell my mom I love her." That would be his treacherous back-stabbing betrayer of a mother who called the government death squad to deal with his temper tantrum in the first place. It is beyond lucky what a horrible shot this particular imperial stormtrooper is. The child is still alive. https://youtu.be/tKUnbgcDGQo

9/18/20 Gareth Porter: Another Blow for ‘Russiagate’ Truthers

Gareth Porter discusses the slow death of the "Russiagate" narrative, which has been allowed to live on mainly because of deliberate obfuscation by democrats and the mainstream media. Rarely do they lie outright about the facts, says Porter—instead they will cherry-pick statements from favorable experts and make vague references to incidents where some website or database was accessed by a computer somewhere in Russia. None of this is enough to prove actual Russian interference in the 2016 election, and probably isn't meant to be. But for those who already refuse to accept the results of the...

9/18/20 Muhammad Sahimi on Pompeo’s Dangerous Iran Failures

Muhammad Sahimi discusses Mike Pompeo's continual efforts to provoke a war between the U.S. and Iran, or to incite regime change from within. His "maximum pressure" sanctions campaign is part of the quest to attain one of these outcomes, a policy that Sahimi thinks is both doomed to fail and incredibly dangerous for America. The JCPOA, negotiated by the Obama administration, helped to take the excuse for war off the table, easing tensions between the U.S. and Iran. But President Trump withdrew from the deal almost right away, and his administration has been making aggressive moves toward...

9/18/20 Grant Smith on the Exaggerated Significance of Evangelical Zionists in America

Scott talks to Grant Smith about the role of evangelical Christians in the Zionist movement in America. Grant examines the premise that evangelicals are the most significant driving force behind American support for Israel, a popular notion ever since George Bush Sr. blamed his loss to Bill Clinton on his failure to appease evangelical voters on the issue of Israel. But Smith argues that their influence is overblown. He says that the power wielded by actual lobbying groups like AIPAC are still the overwhelming driving force in shaping U.S. policy toward Israel, pushing for things like...
