1/14/22 Ken Bensinger on the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot and January 6th
Ken Bensinger of Buzzfeed News returns to the show to follow up about the 2020 plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer. Although the plot made national headlines when 14 militia members were arrested, Bensinger and fellow journalists dug deeper to find a large presence of FBI agents and informants involved than had gone reported. Further, some informants had apparently played a role in instigating the entire scheme. Bensinger explains the details and developments in that case, and he gives his thoughts and observations about the riot at the National Capitol on January 6th.

08/30/10 – Fred Branfman – The Scott Horton Show
Fred Branfman, author of the Alternet article ‘Mass Assassinations Lie at the Heart of America’s Military Strategy in the Muslim World,’ discusses several common-sense reasons ‘why they hate us’ (it isn’t our freedom), how the ‘McChrystal ratio’ exposes the bankruptcy of COIN strategy, the incredibly broad scope — both in number of forces employed and geographic space — of U.S. assassination policy, why (unlike CIA ops) these killings don’t require Presidential approval or reports to Congress, how Petraeus’s strategy seems focused on his short term career goals, why taking on 1.3 billion Muslims is national suicide and how the upcoming Republican midterm election sweep will hasten U.S. economic and societal collapse.

Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) discusses his article ‘Mosque Demagoguery Is Bipartisan‘ and the linkage between property rights and First Amendment rights, why the abandonment of the dollar will lead to an inflationary depression and why Dennis Kucinich’s anti-assassination bill is a redundancy (but deserving of support nonetheless).
