by Scott Horton | Nov 24, 2019

The Rule of Law or CIA Coup?
by Scott Horton | Nov 7, 2019
It's pretty obvious. Americans should support the impeachment and removal of President Donald Trump, but not for Ukrainegate. In fact, they should oppose his impeachment on Ukrainegate grounds completely. Trump’s real offense is waging an un-authorized,...
To End the Wars, Attack the Right From the Right
by Scott Horton | Oct 16, 2019
Sadly, the antiwar and anti-national security state inclinations of American liberals and progressives have weakened since the days of President George W. Bush. Partisan incentives during Barack Obama’s presidency combined with the FBI-CIA-Democratic Party-media plot...

Antiwar.com: Now What?
by Scott Horton | Jun 30, 2019
Reprinted from Antiwar.com. The question, “Now what?” seems appropriate today. First of all, R.I.P. Justin Raimondo. As Tom Woods said, Justin was the soul of this site. Despite popular misunderstanding, he was not the editor or webmaster (that’s me, Jason Ditz and...
Mueller Report: It Was All a Bunch of Nothing
by Scott Horton | Apr 20, 2019
Update: so no strangers around here get the wrong idea: Trump should be in the Supermax with Barack Obama for genocide in Yemen. Neither I nor the Institute have any partisan favor for or even against him. Just the same bias against all presidents, especially in...
