9/20/19 Christine Ahn on a Chance for Peace With North Korea

by | Sep 24, 2019 |

Christine Ahn joins the show for an update on the Korean peace process, now that John Bolton is out of the Trump administration. She thinks Bolton was a major obstacle to Korean unification, and that now Trump might go along with the negotiations between the North and South—something that recent American presidents have been unwilling to do. One of the democrats' favorite attacks against Trump, that he "sides with dictators," completely misses the point, says Ahn. In defying John Bolton to negotiate with Kim Jong-un, Trump is really siding with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and the vast...

Latest Trump Impeachment Scandal is Also Garbage

by | Sep 24, 2019 |

He's still guilty of genocide in an illegal war, so, you know, there's always that. But anyway, go read Reason this morning about the Ukraine nonsense. Short version: Biden and Kerry's sons were cashing in on their dads' connections in Ukraine and China, but there's no clear evidence of their fathers' corrupt interventions on their behalf in getting the "jobs." Biden pushed to get the prosecutor fired, but there's no clear evidence that was directly related to any investigation of Biden's son's firm. Trump pushed the new Ukrainian president to investigate Biden's son's firm, but there's no...

US Claims to Kill ‘Al Qaeda’ Fighters in Afghanistan

by | Sep 24, 2019 |

Yeah right. USA needs an excuse for killing 40 civilians at a wedding the day after killing 30 civilian pine nut-pickers. So: Al Qaeda! In this Fox News piece they don't even pretend the "al Qaeda" guys they killed were Arab friends of Osama at all. One was Pakistani. One was Bangladeshi. They say. Oh, see "AQ in the Subcontinent" counts if the US government says so. And since they need the safe haven myth as their excuse to stay, we'll be hearing more bs like this in the coming months -- and years.

9/20/19 Catherine L. Besteman on America’s Shadow War in Somalia

by | Sep 23, 2019 |

Catherine Besteman joins the show to share some of her research about America's covert proxy war in Somalia. American military intervention in Somalia goes back at least as far as the Bush administration's support for Ethiopia in its invasion of the country in 2006, and Besteman says this type of intervention has done nothing but empower groups like Al-Shabaab, which the U.S. supposedly wants to curtail. As usual, the mainstream media has little interest in covering what's really going on. Discussed on the show: "'Send her back' isn't just racist. It ignores the US's critical role in...

9/20/19 Gareth Porter on Why Iran’s Role in the Oil Attack is Beside the Point

by | Sep 23, 2019 |

Scott interviews Gareth Porter about his recent article for the American Conservative about why Iran's possible role in the recent Saudi oil field attacks is beside the point. Porter thinks it's pretty likely that Iran was behind the attacks, probably as a demonstration of their ability to seriously disrupt the global economy with very little cost or effort. But this should not in any way dissuade the Trump administration from trying to establish peace between the U.S. and Iran, and if anything, probably stresses the importance of doing so. Discussed on the show: "Why Evidence of Iran’s Role...

by | Sep 22, 2019 |

What did you think, that the government wasn't just waiting for a chance to kidnap your 6-year-old little grandbaby away so they can make their quota or whatever? Did you think they were going to take real good care of her? Snap out of it, this is the real world, not some TV show. The government hates you. They are out to get you. No law can protect you from their sloth and wrath. Try to stay out of their way. Like maybe don't deliberately send your helpless children directly into their vile clutches, for example.
