8/16/19 Max Blumenthal on Joe Biden’s Catastrophic Record in Latin America

by Scott Horton | Aug 18, 2019 | The Scott Horton Show

Max Blumenthal explains how the policies of the Obama administration, pushed by Joe Biden in particular, have fueled the migration crisis in Latin America we see today. Notably, America gave material support to the Colombian regime that massacred thousands of innocent civilians and dressed them as guerrilla revolutionaries in order to claim they were winning the war, and thereby get more aid from the U.S. Biden also supported brutal regimes in Honduras, El Salvador, and other countries, whose instability have caused millions of people to flee their homes for America's southern border. The...

Hamid Hayat Finally Free!

by Scott Horton | Aug 17, 2019 | Blog

Remember him? He was the 22-year-old entrapped by Robert Mueller's FBI into ... Actually, he didn't do anything at all! All that happened was the government informant who had infiltrated his family tricked him into saying some bs about loving Osama, before the actual cops coerced the youth into ridiculously claiming that his grandfather ran an al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan, where they all practiced terrorist poll vaulting in the basement. I am not making this up. The FBI did. The L.A. Times once published the video of the "interrogation." They gave him 24 years. It was, how do you...

Correction: Islamic State Population Size

by Scott Horton | Aug 17, 2019 | Blog

Thanks to John in the Reddit room for the heads up. I said on Tom Woods' show that the Islamic State, which controlled eastern Syria and western Iraq from June 2014-December 2017, was the size and population of Great Britain, but that's wrong. It was the size of the UK, but had a population of only six million. I thought I was paraphrasing Patrick Cockburn, but this is what he really said: "As the attention of the world focused on Ukraine and Gaza, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (Isis) captured a third of Syria in addition to the quarter of Iraq it had seized in June. The frontiers of...

8/16/19 Jim Bovard on Bill Clinton’s ‘Benevolent’ Murder of Serbian Civilians

by Scott Horton | Aug 17, 2019 | The Scott Horton Show

Scott talks to Jim Bovard about Bill Clinton's bombing campaign in Serbia twenty years ago, which at the time was widely heralded as a triumph of the "forces of good." It was also, apparently, something that Bill Clinton did as a way to appease Hillary after the fallout from the Monica Lewinsky scandal. The entire narrative of "ethnic cleansing" that was put forth as justification for American intervention turned out later to have been overblown, with, in actual fact, casualties (and some atrocities) on both sides of the civil war but little evidence for the purported one-sided genocide....

[Clapping Hands Emoji] This Is What Gun Control Looks Like [Clapping Hands Emoji]

by Scott Horton | Aug 15, 2019 | Blog

A totalitarian police state for black people -- and everyone else -- on gun possession charges. Think a liberal or progressive is capable of figuring out that laws aren't magic wishes, and that instead have to be enforced by cops, prosecutors and judges -- and that it might not be worth it? I guess not. According to 12up: "One has to hate that a father is being taken away from his family and placed behind bars, but the punishment does fit the crime -- despite what Telfair's jarring pleas might suggest." https://youtu.be/auQKuFUxA1k
