Geraldo Rivera: The Voice of Reason

Hey, you takes 'em where you can get 'em: ’50-year-old Palestinians… have never lived in freedom their whole lives,’ Rivera says on Fox, defending Tlaib by Phil Weiss. It is absolutely outrageous that two sitting members of the Congress of the United States of America, a country that gives Israel over $3 billion a year in aid, were denied entry into the country. I am shocked that the ambassador did not mention 52 years of Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. These are people who are being denied their human rights. They can’t freely travel. The fact that the congresswoman from...

Deputy Faked Being Shot by Sniper

Cops lie all the time. Because they're criminals. Also: The [apartment] building, which overlooks the sheriff’s station parking lot and is used by a nonprofit organization to house people with mental illness, is a safety hazard, [Lancaster Mayor R.

8/23/19 Peter Van Buren: the Hiroshima Myth

Scott talks to Peter Van Buren about the effects of war on American culture. They discuss the fact that America has been at war almost constantly for its entire history, ever since the nation was formed by overthrowing the British. Having an external enemy supposedly allows people to put their differences aside and feel unity as a country, but it comes at the cost of money, lives, and an ever-increasing encroachment of government power into the private sphere. Van Buren also discusses his recent article about the bombing of Hiroshima, and the ways the government and military sought to bury...

Pompeo Boasting The President is His Puppet On a String

New Yorker: In Washington, though, Pompeo has managed to maintain Trump’s confidence while remaining on speaking terms with a foreign-policy establishment that is deeply unsettled by the President. “He’s in a sense become the real adult in the room,” Ian Bremmer, the founder of the geopolitical advisory firm the Eurasia Group, told me. “It is less the case than he would like, but vastly more the case than anyone else.” Pompeo’s Republican friend told me, “He’s not an enabler of Trump. He does a lot to try to manage him.” Others believe that Pompeo is merely posturing. He is a politician who...

8/16/19 Gareth Porter Debunks the Claims of State Election System Hacking

Gareth Porter explains why the claim that the Russian government "hacked all 50 U.S. states" is false—namely, the states themselves know that their systems were intact! The narrative has nonetheless been pushed continuously, as democrats try to justify Hillary Clinton's 2016 loss by any means necessary. Discussed on the show: "U.S. States: We Weren’t Hacked by Russians in 2016" (The American Conservative) "Russia Targeted Election Systems in All 50 States, Report Finds" (The New York Times) Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state, and author...
