Recent Episodes of the Scott Horton Show
1/26/22 Darren Beattie on the Indictment of Stewart Rhodes and other Developments
Darren Beattie of Revolver News returns to the show. Beattie’s journalism has raised questions about the inconsistency of the Government’s investigation and prosecution of people who helped breach the Capitol last year. Since he was last on the show, these questions have really begun to make their mark on the national conversation. Beattie and Scott discuss recent developments including Stewart Rhodes’ indictment. And Beattie responds to some of the critiques Buzzfeed’s Ken Bensinger had of Beattie’s work on a recent episode of the Scott Horton Show.
Discussed on the show:
- Scott’s interview with Ken Bensinger
- “Meet Ray Epps” (Revolver)
- “Meet Ray Epps, Part 2” (Revolver)
Darren J. Beattie is a former White House official and the founder and editor of Revolver. Follow him on Twitter @DarrenJBeattie

01/10/11 – Nima Shirazi – The Scott Horton Show
Nima Shirazi, creator of WideAsleepinAmerica.com, discusses his catalog of the numerous failed predictions — primarily by the US and Israel — of Iran’s imminent creation of a nuclear weapon; how the latest Israeli estimate of a 2015 Iran nuke is explained, not by a longtime mistaken assumption about Iran’s nuclear intentions, but by the effectiveness of sanctions, espionage and assassination; the vastly overstated Iranian ‘breakout’ capability that could also be ascribed to well over 100 other countries; Israel’s genuine concerns of an emboldened Hezbollah and a ‘brain drain‘ of educated Israelis migrating to the US and Europe; and how Iran’s leaders are portrayed by Western media as irrational ‘mad mullahs’ that want to destroy the world and can’t be reasoned with.

01/10/11 – Tom Engelhardt – The Scott Horton Show
Tom Engelhardt, creator of Tomdispatch.com and author of The American Way of War: How Bush’s Wars Became Obama’s, discusses Tomdispatch writer Nick Turse’s updated estimate of just how many US foreign military bases exist; how the official DOD tally omits bases in Iraq, Afghanistan and most of the Persian Gulf; why, in the age of billion dollar embassies and $130 million fuel depots, the US ’empire of bases’ is not economically sustainable; and how your stimulus dollars are being used for building police forces (in Afghanistan).

01/07/11 – Edward Hasbrouck – The Scott Horton Show
There is also a KPFK 90.7 FM Los Angeles broadcast version of this interview here.
Edward Hasbrouck, global traveler, author and privacy advocate, discusses US citizen Gulet Mohamed‘s alleged abduction and torture in Kuwait, and how the US government blocked his return home (and violated international law) by adding him to the no-fly list; the questionable Constitutionality of an extrajudicial no-fly list immune from court challenge; how DHS sifts through extensive travel records (PNRs) and tells the airlines who they can and can’t do business with; and how airports have become law-free zones much like Guantanamo.

01/07/11 – Ali Gharib – The Scott Horton Show
Ali Gharib, New York-based journalist on U.S. foreign policy and LobeLog writer, discusses how American neoconservatives remain the hardest working warmongers around despite Israeli claims of success — via Stuxnet sabotage and assassination of nuclear scientists — in delaying Iran’s (alleged) pursuit of nuclear weapons; Jennifer Rubin’s venue-change from Commentary to The Washington Post, which <sarcasm alert> finally gets a pro-Israel perspective in mainstream media; and the WikiLeaks cable that shows internal Iranian politics prevented President Ahmadinejad from completing the 2009 low-enriched uranium swap deal.

01/06/11 – Danny Schechter – The Scott Horton Show
Danny Schechter, executive editor of MediaChannel.org, discusses his new article that revisits journalist Helen Thomas’s career-ending Israel gaffe; how selective quotation from the ‘gotcha‘ clip turned Thomas’s poorly phrased response into ‘proof’ of her anti-Semitism; the media hit pieces, gloating about Thomas’s exile, that make clear there is little tolerance in Washington for Israel-critics; and Schechter’s firsthand account — while working for ABC News in 1982 — of an Israeli campaign to stop the airing of an investigative news story about the West Bank.

01/05/11 – Fred Branfman – The Scott Horton Show
Fred Branfman, writer for Alternet.org, discusses how the WikiLeaks documents reveal, more than anything else, the ‘vast lying machine‘ of our government and military; why the Cablegate disclosures alone are enough to justify a new Nuremberg-style war crimes tribunal; how US military escalations in Afghanistan and Pakistan are counterproductive when considering (Ret.) Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s ‘insurgent math;’ and why the US government — not WikiLeaks — is a danger to national security and needs to be reigned in before another 9/11 attack makes the US a police state.

01/04/11 – Eric Margolis – The Scott Horton Show
Eric Margolis, foreign correspondent and author of War at the Top of the World and American Raj, discusses how the secession of South Sudan could jeopardize the entire African continent’s colonial-drawn borders; considerable US influence in South Sudan that almost guarantees the new nation will be yet another American protectorate flush with oil; why controlling the world’s oil supplies has been a US foreign policy goal since WWII, when Axis countries were irreparably damaged by fuel supply shortages; the increasing US/China rivalry in resource-rich Africa; fundamentalist Christian missionary groups competing with Islamic groups for conversions in Africa; the incremental US stealth-occupation of Pakistan that threatens to become the boggiest of military quagmires; and why the US stands to lose substantial influence in Western Europe should NATO fail in Afghanistan.
