1/7/22 Bill Ottman on Alternative Social Networks and the Future of the Internet
Scott is joined by Bill Ottman, the co-founder and CEO of Minds — a blockchain-based social network. After Twitter banned Dr. Robert Malone for spreading alleged medical misinformation, many have been voicing frustration with the major social networks. And although some alternatives have been gaining in popularity, nothing has taken off as the new place as of yet. Ottman and Scott discuss the landscape of alternative social networks, the features these networks are offering and what we can expect as the internet continues to evolve.
Discussed on the show:
Bill Ottman is an Internet entrepreneur and freedom of information activist based in Connecticut. He is also the CEO and co-founder of Minds.

Ali Gharib, a New York-based journalist on U.S. foreign policy, discusses the hawkish turn taken by the middle-of-the-road think tank Council on Foreign Relations, the synchronized talking points of Iran war boosters that — like Iraq before — force antiwar opponents to prove a negative (or why the reality-based community is forever playing catch-up to history’s actors), solid economic reasons for a civilian nuclear power program in Iran and why Ret. Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerny is a warmongering lunatic.

08/05/10 – Rep. Barbara Lee – The Scott Horton Show
Rep. Barbara Lee discusses how how it felt being the only Congressperson (including Ron Paul) to vote against the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force, how the AUMF continues to be used for justifying all manner of military actions, the Constitutional duty of Congress to declare war, the failure of public schools to teach foreign affairs or geography well and the need to maintain sanctions and reestablish diplomacy with Iran in order to ‘play it safe’ on their nuclear program.

08/04/10 – Andy Worthington – The Scott Horton Show
Andy Worthington, author of The Guantanamo Files, discusses the last ditch effort of Omar Khadr’s military lawyer to stop his client’s war crimes trial, government use of the catch-all ‘material support for terrorism’ charge when all other crimes won’t stick and why the popular outcry for ‘tough’ military commissions trials for accused terrorists ignores the near-perfect conviction rate in federal courts.

Bonnie Docherty, Lecturer at Harvard Law School and Researcher in the Arms Division of Human Rights Watch, discusses the new international law banning cluster bombs (in the countries that ratified it), laudable U.K. actions on destroying cluster bomb stockpiles and advocating for universal abolition, the devastating civilian toll and glacial-paced removal of cluster bombs in Laos, the increased stigma on the largest cluster bomb manufacturing countries (U.S., Russia, Israel) and why these particular weapons are outdated Cold War-era relics.

08/04/10 – The Other Scott Horton – The Scott Horton Show
The Other Scott Horton (no relation), international human rights lawyer, professor and contributing editor at Harper’s magazine, discusses the only law explicitly defined in the U.S. Constitution: treason, why the founding fathers made treason prosecutions difficult by design, the very serious charges facing accused ‘WikiLeaker’ Bradley Manning (but treason and espionage aren’t among them), Mark Thiessen’s Washington Post op-ed on why ‘WikiLeaks must be stopped‘ and the double standard that allows pro-war pundits to leak government-favorable classified information without rebuke.
