So the GOP-dominated Senate Intelligence Committee says the CIA was right, says the Washington Post. Omitted so far from what I've read is any actual reason to believe so besides the old "Even Republican Senators are repeating CIA claims! Wow, they must be true!" There's a big recap of the decision to include the Steele Dossier as part of the January 2017 "assessment," most of which is blacked out. They cite RT coverage as somehow meaningful beyond showing "preference" for Trump On page 52 they finally let us see part of their argument, just the outline of it. Same old bullshit again. The...
Feds Continue to Steal Protective Equipment From Actual People
USA Today: Delaware medical supplier says FEMA seized 400,000 N95 masks, now he's out millions of dollars WILMINGTON, Del. – As pleas for protective masks continue amid the coronavirus pandemic, a Delaware supplier of medical equipment is disputing the legality of what he said were federal seizures of hundreds of thousands of N95 respirators.

4/10/20 Richard Booth on the Truth Behind the OKC Bombing
Scott talks to Richard Booth about his investigative journalism into the real story behind the Oklahoma City bombing and its subsequent investigation. Booth goes over some of the main holes in the official narrative, which was largely constructed in order depict Timothy McVeigh as a lone actor because his likely co-conspirators—members of a well-known neo-Nazi group—are suspected to have had ties as government informants. This is at best embarrassing, and at worst criminal. All of Booth's great work is now available at The Libertarian Institute. Discussed on the show: "The Ultimate Okalahoma...

4/17/20 Jacob Sullum on the Political Response to Coronavirus
Reason Magazine senior editor Jacob Sullum talks to Scott about some of the latest coronavirus news. He comments on President Trump’s headline-making claim that he has the sole authority to decide if and when the economy would reopen, which Sullum asserts really belongs to the governors. Trump has backed away from his claim, but he still appears to support making progress toward reopening businesses sooner rather than later. Doing so would probably be a good thing, says Sullum, since the economic toll of the current measures have already been devastating, and only continue to get...

Scott talks with Ramzy Baroud about the ongoing crisis for Palestinians in the West Bank, and in particular in the Gaza Strip, who face forced confinement and military occupation as parts of their daily lives. Baroud is reminded of the partial quarantine most Americans are facing today because of the coronavirus pandemic, and has been taking the opportunity to tell his story—and the stories of many like him—who spent their childhoods under a kind of quarantine as refugees. While sympathizing deeply with the hardships being faced all over the country, he and Scott hope that some Americans...
