2020 Libertarian Party Stuff Will Not Be Covered Here
Because the Institute is a 501c3 and I have a conflict in that I am an unpaid adviser to Jacob Hornberger’s campaign for president.
So any interviews about this will have to be found at scotthorton.org/interviews and writings at scotthorton.org/stress.
Cop Kills Baby
Christopher Manuel is a child killer.
DAs and judges just laugh. Government employees can murder whoever they want. That’s the law.
The Cost Of The U.S. Terror War from 2001-2020 is $6.4 Trillion
The Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University released a report on the cost of the war on terror over 20 years since 2001: United States Budgetary Costs and Obligations of Post-9/11 Wars Through FY2020: $6.4 Trillion by Neta Crawford.
These wars, and the domestic counterterror mobilization, have entailed significant expenses, paid for by deficit spending. Thus, even if the United States withdraws completely from the major war zones by the end of FY2020 and halts its other Global War on Terror operations, in the Philippines and Africa for example, the total budgetary burden of the post-9/11 wars will continue to rise as the US pays the on-going costs of veterans’ care and for interest on borrowing to pay for the wars. Moreover, the increases in the Pentagon base budget associated with the wars are likely to remain, inflating the military budget over the long run.
How Could Afghans Support the Taliban?
Maybe it’s because the government we’ve built for them is made of mass child rapists.
What Trump Should Be Impeached For
This footage showing the unloading of a variety of US-made arms — which was filmed illicitly at the offloading site, then obtained and verified by CNN — is itself contentious. Multiple witnesses told CNN that Yemeni authorities, backed by the Saudi-led coalition, have been arresting and questioning those they suspect of leaking it to the media.
Using whistleblower accounts and port documents CNN has identified the ship which offloaded the US weaponry in Aden last week as the Saudi-registered Bahri Hofuf. Looking at tracking data, the vessel’s last recorded location was in the Saudi port of Jeddah on September 17, before it sailed to Port Sudan, arriving the following day.
After this, the boat’s tracking system was switched off, before it appeared again under the cover of darkness in Aden on October 29.

Impeachment Hearings
Wow. Kent making clear the importance to the establishment of bringing Ukraine into NATO ASAP.
He called the Ukrainian militias fighting the people in the east, who are backed by Russian help, “minutemen” like those who served George Washington in America’s War of Independence from Britain.
Hey, why not?
If there was any question here as to the real motives of the American coup plotters here, they’ve already been put to rest. To the Blob, the eastward expansion of America’s military alliance in Eastern Europe is a sacred duty beyond question. No president has the right to overrule their consensus about that. Especially not this freak. So they do what they must.
Taylor now begins the same schtick: Ukraine is so important to America’s “interests.”
David Stockman pre-ridicules this assertion here.
Taylor: Ukraine is America’s “front line” in the conflict with Russia. Garet Garrett laughing in hell.
Haha, he claims that Yanukovich fled “street protests.” Says Russia “invaded” Crimea. Says referendum was held at “riflepoint.” Claims Russia invaded eastern Donbass, no mention of defense from attack by Kiev. What a despicable/hilarious liar.
No mention of Right Sector or the Azov Battalion. Big surprise.
As far as his story about the pressure from Trump and all, I have no reason to doubt it. Just don’t give a damn.
