The corporate press, along with university professors, Democrats, intelligence agencies, Hollywood elites, blue check Twitter, Regime Libertarians, Regime Republicans, and k-12 school teachers often have no quarrels about saying Trump is evil. Usual reasons include: conspiring with Russia to steal the 2016 election, quid-pro-quoing Ukraine via phone, January 6th, and conspiring with Russia again in 2020 with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
Why focus on trivial (not to mention fake) nonsense when we have documented evidence that he took part in operations that murdered civilians?
Because the most evil things Trump did were also done by Obama, Bush Jr., Clinton, Bush Sr., and roughly every major empire politician since Ancient Sumer.
The challenge we face: Will we use our lives to play gotcha games and obsess over headlines which are irrelevant after two weeks, or will we call out the greatest evils in society regardless of the current perpetrator?
According to data gathered since the coalition’s inception in October 2014, the U.S.-dominated multinational force has been responsible for a minimum of 5,117 civilian deaths, with about 55 percent of them occurring during Trump’s administration.

A new Airwars investigation into the ongoing US counterterrorism campaign in Yemen has identified at least 86 civilians likely killed by US actions during Donald Trump’s presidency – though the US military has admitted to no more than a dozen deaths.

There will always be those who claim to have special rights over the rest of society, and the state is the most organized attempt to get away with it.

Earlier this month, I did a series of interviews covering a wide range of foreign policy topics with the great Reed Coverdale and David Spuria.
On the Naturalist Capitalist, Reed and I discuss the continuity between the Trump and Biden administrations, highlighting Washington’s aggressive polices that could lead to war with Russia, China, and Iran. We also have a conversation about early influences, as well as becoming libertarians and antiwar activists. We discuss the failures of the Trump administration, what happened to John McCain/Hillary Clinton style hawks, and how Bernie Sanders was always a fraud. Of course, we talk about neocons and in particular Josh Rogin’s Washington Post piece calling for concurrent confrontations with Moscow and Beijing.
This interview was conducted on August 14th.
In my interview with David Spuria, we talked about the Ukraine war, the risks of increasing sabotage attacks inside Crimea, and the possibility of disaster due to shelling aimed at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). We also cover Washington’s policy of attempting to bleed Russia in a 1980s Afghanistan style proxy war of attrition. We discuss Western interventions to thwart diplomacy and kill potential peace talks between Moscow and Kiev, plus some recent escalations with China. This interview took place on August 20th.
Scott Horton, our Director and host of the Scott Horton Show, will be on CSPAN2 Book TV discussing his new book Hotter Than The Sun: Time to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
This interview took place at FreedomFest last month and airs today (6:05pm EDT) and tomorrow (6:05am EDT). The video will be archived later at the CSPAN2 website.
Hotter Than the Sun contains interviews conducted over more than a decade with experts of all descriptions — including Daniel Ellsberg, Seymour Hersh, Gar Alperovitz, Hans Kristensen, Gordon Prather, Joe Cirincione and more — about the threat of nuclear war between major and minor powers, the nuclear arms-industrial complex, the nuclear programs and weapons of the so-called “rogue states” of Iraq, Iran, Syria, Israel and North Korea, the bitter truths and eternal lessons of America’s nuclear bombing of Japan in World War II and the dedicated activists working to abolish the bomb for all time.

Washington’s official propaganda outlet Voice of America reports on the new Orwellian named Pentagon agency tasked with reducing civilian deaths. The “Civilian Protection Center of Excellence” will receive a tiny fraction of the Pentagon’s $800 billion budget.
The announcement came a year after a US drone strike in Kabul annihilated an innocent Afghan family. The Pentagon initially claimed the bombing was “righteous.” It was later exposed that the strike killed an aid worker and seven children.
Reuters reports Senator Marsha Blackburn arrived in Taiwan on Thursday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi traveled to Taipei in August, setting off a massive escalation with China. Blackburn is the third Congressional delegation to visit Taiwan this month.
Beijing views the high-level visits from US officials as violations of its sovereignty. China’s military has conducted several unprecedented military maneuvers in response to Pelosi’s visit.
