07/03/12 – Charles Goyette – The Scott Horton Show
Charles Goyette discusses how prosperity is an offshoot of freedom, how the state is hastening America’s economic collapse, why Democrats and Republicans are both “food stamp” parties; and why we need to be aware of the demagogues diverting public anger away from government and Wall Street, toward convenient scapegoats like gays and Muslims.

06/28/12 – Joe Lauria – The Scott Horton Show
Independent investigative journalist Joe Lauria discusses his article “What Russia Fears in Syrian Conflict;” the Western media’s practice of only telling the US side of the story in international conflicts; Russia’s concern of an Islamic government coming to power in Syria; why the usual reasons given for Russia’s support of Assad – the naval base at Tartus and arms sales – aren’t that big a deal; how short-term thinking in US foreign policy produces unwanted consequences; and NATO’s usefulness as a war-enabling mechanism when the UN Security Council proves uncooperative.

06/27/12 – Pepe Escobar – The Scott Horton Show
Globetrotting journalist Pepe Escobar discusses his article “Syria and Turkey’s Phantom War;” Turkey’s violation of Syrian airspace in a purposeful, measured provocation and test of Syria’s defenses; the near-invocation of NATO Article 5 and a wider war (an attack on one NATO country is an attack on all); looking for ways to bypass the UN on Syria, since China and Russia won’t let an interventionist resolution pass the Security Council; grand plans for NATO expansion in the official “Assured Security, Dynamic Engagement” plan; counterrevolutions in the Middle East and South America, as the US looks to rebuild its portfolio of client states; and how Qatar has become the new superpower in the Middle East, surpassing even Saudi Arabia.

Jacob Hornberger, founder and president of the Future of Freedom Foundation, discusses his article “Needed: A National Debate on U.S. Support of Dictatorships;” the 1953 CIA-supported coup in Iran, leading to the hostage crisis, 1979 Islamic Revolution, and poor relations to this day; the US-supplied Iraqi weapons of mass-destruction; the conditional US anti-dictator policy (cooperative dictators needn’t fear regime-change); why Americans may finally be catching on to the War on Terrorism farce; and cutting the federal budget by eliminating aid to foreign dictators.

06/25/12 – Philip Giraldi – The Scott Horton Show
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses his article “Terrorism Arithmetic;” the National Counter Terrorism Center’s annual Report on Terrorism, which statistically proves that Americans are more likely to be killed by televisions than terrorists; the political realities that push Democratic presidents toward ultraviolence (which Obama seems to really enjoy); how international terrorists groups like al-Qaeda have given way to small franchises focused on local issues; the mainstream media’s better-late-than-never reporting on covert US support for Syrian regime change; and the self-perpetuating cycle of US foreign policy, where a new intervention is undertaken to fix a previous botched job, ad infinitum.
