The 2020s A Renewed Libertarian Movement
Can you believe it? It's been 20 years since the year 2000. 19 since George W. Bush decided to get the 21st Century off on the completely wrong foot, waging aggressive war in the name of liberty and self-government and discrediting both. But I have to admit, back then I thought things would be much worse by now: a broken economy, a lawless police state, the American people divided, hating each other instead of the corrupt power that oppresses them... Okay, yeah, it's pretty close to what I thought it would be, if in lesser degrees. But then all this just raises the question: what's the world...
12/20/19 Lyle J. Goldstein: The War in Ukraine Must End
Lyle J. Goldstein talks about the need for Russia and Ukraine to get along better, and in general for Europe to handle more of its military and foreign affairs without the involvement of the U.S. Much has been made in certain American circles of supposed Russian aggression in Crimea and Syria, two major pillars of the narrative that Russia is a dangerous enemy that must be met with strength. But these claims present a very slanted narrative, and are mostly used by those who want to keep the U.S. military involved in policing the entire world. Discussed on the show: "The War in Ukraine Must...

12/20/19 John Kiriakou on the Brutal CIA Torture of Abu Zubaydah
Scott interviews John Kiriakou about the history of the CIA's secret torture program. Kiriakou was involved in the 2002 capture of Abu Zubaydah, who was initially interrogated with some success by the FBI, before his interrogation was eventually taken over by the CIA. Zubaydah was the first victim of the CIA's torture regime, which, Kiriakou says, completely failed to produce any actionable intelligence. Kiriakou eventually blew the whistle on the program and served time in prison as part of a plea deal. Discussed on the show: "JOHN KIRIAKOU: Those Torture Drawings in the NYT" (Consortium...
