12/2/22 John Young on Cryptome, Wikileaks and the Persecution of Julian Assange

Download Episode.

Scott talks with John Young of Cryptome.org about his attempt to join the Julian Assange indictment as a co-defendant. Before Wikileaks published redacted versions of the State Department cables leaked by Chelsea Manning, Cryptome got access and published the entire collection of unredacted cables. Young believes that his inclusion in the indictment would weaken the state’s case against Assange. Scott and Young also talk about the early days of Cryptome and the state of classified documents on the internet today. 

Discussed on the show:

John Young is the cofounder of Cryptome.org, one of the earliest databases of classified documents on the internet.

08/22/12 – Giorgio Cafiero – The Scott Horton Show

Giorgio Cafiero of Foreign Policy in Focus discusses how Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan’s support for Syria’s rebellion has alienated Turkey’s own religious minorities; how Syrian President Assad uses the Kurds to retaliate and stir up trouble for Turkey; US interest in realpolitik, not humanitarian relief, in Syria; how a Sunni-dominated government in Syria would tilt regional power toward Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood, marginalizing Iran; why Syria’s rebels should have used nonviolent opposition instead of taking up arms; and the Iraqi refugees in Syria returning home – and not because Iraq is suddenly prosperous and safe.

Lew Rockwell, chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, discusses the government “gang of thieves writ large;” why “monetary policy” is just a fancy term for counterfeiting; the DHS’s new arsenal of hollow point rounds and bullet proof checkpoint booths; using laughter and ridicule to challenge unlawful authority; central banking and world wars; how government meddling increased costs in health care and education; and why Ron Paul’s epic speaking tour on liberty won’t end when he retires from Congress.

08/16/12 – Marcy Wheeler – The Scott Horton Show

Blogger Marcy Wheeler discusses Ecuador’s decision to grant diplomatic asylum to Wikileaks’ Julian Assange; consequent British threats to revoke embassy sovereignty and detain Assange by force; the broad assumption that US pressure is forcing the British overreaction; Sweden’s previous cooperation with CIA torture rendition requests; and why this is probably all about extraditing Assange to the US, where he’ll be put in Guantanamo or prosecuted under the Espionage Act.
