08/02/11 – Jason Mick – The Scott Horton Show
Jason Mick, writer for dailytech.com, discusses his article “Obama Admin. Fights to Renew Warrantless Wiretaps, Block Transparency;” the government abuses of the 1960s and 70s that led to FISA’s creation; why the US Senate is not privy to, and has effectively no oversight of, rampant Executive department wiretapping; the Bush administration’s “telecom immunity” deal that bought the silence of Verizon and AT&T; data mining “categories” instead of the digital records of individual suspects; and why, in spite of increasing government surveillance of private citizens, videotaping an on-duty cop beating up a homeless guy is often an arrestable offense.

08/01/11 – Robert Higgs – The Scott Horton Show
Robert Higgs, editor of the Independent Review, explains why the world won’t end if the US debt ceiling isn’t raised, administration scaremongering on US “default” even though there’s no risk of missing bond payments, the government’s ability to cut spending, revise budgets and sell assets to meet debt obligations, the backloaded “cuts” in the compromise deal that target projected increases in spending and don’t cut the budget at all, what a rating agency downgrade means, and how likely it is, and why stagflation (as bad as it is) is the best economic outcome we can hope for.

08/01/11 – Peter Hart – The Scott Horton Show
Peter Hart, activism director at Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), discusses the media’s warm reception to Treasury Department claims that Iran’s government is actively aiding al-Qaeda; the suspicious timing of these kinds of articles every time there’s a debate on withdrawal or troop drawdowns from Iraq; how the US condemns Iranian “foreign interference” in neighboring Iraq while ignoring the foreign US military’s continued occupation of the country; and the media’s failure to develop a healthy skepticism of “anonymous government officials” since falling for the Iraq War lies.

This interview is excerpted from the KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast of July 29th, available here.
John Glaser, Assistant Editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the mind-boggling number of ongoing US wars (6, 7, maybe 8?); how US aid to Colombia, supposedly intended to fight the war on drugs and leftist guerrillas like FARC, ends up going to government-connected right wing paramilitary death squads; Plan Colombia‘s gift to the military-industrial complex; the State Department’s heavyhanded, imperialist meddling in Haitian affairs as revealed by the WikiLeaks cables; and how the Arab spring has unmasked the real purpose of US foreign policy – supporting cooperative dictators and crushing democratic reform.

07/27/11 – Jeremy Sapienza – The Scott Horton Show
Jeremy Sapienza, Senior Editor at Antiwar.com, discusses the twisted MSM reporting on Somalia, such that most Americans have no idea the US is at war over there; how al-Shabaab grew out of the Islamic Courts Union’s youth movement to control most of the country; why Somalia’s famine is so severe (not from heat and drought) and who’s to blame; and the inevitability that someone in the “history began yesterday” media will advocate US intervention in Somalia to save the children from starvation.
