Scott interviews Wally Rashid about the Freedom Flotilla he is helping to organize, which is attempting to bring aid to Gaza by sea. That leads to a broader discussion about the ongoing crimes Israel is committing against the people of Gaza. They then talk about Congressman James Traficant, an early critic of US policy towards Israel, who was unfairly taken down by the Israel lobby. Traficant’s story is detailed in a YouTube series Rashid produced.

Scott’s first guest on Antiwar Radio this week was Connor Freeman, the Assistant Editor at the Libertarian Institute. They talk about the Ukrainian strikes deep in Russian territory, and the apparent green light Washington gave Kyiv to carry out more. Their reasoning?

Scott and Freeman talk about the danger of this mindset and also touch on the recent Washington Post story about the lack of evidence that Russia attacked its own gas infrastructure back in September.

Scott talks with Jeffrey Kaye about an article he recently published on the CIA’s effort to suppress reports about the use of bio-weapons by U.S. forces fighting in Korea. The agency went to great lengths to dismiss those rumors and claims as communist propaganda and the results of brainwashing. Then in 2010, the agency declassified documents that contained evidence of U.S. bio-weapons use in the Korean War. Kaye and Scott discuss the relevant history and why it’s important today.
