2/18/22 Ben Freeman on the Army of Ukraine Lobbyists in DC
Ben Freeman joined Scott on Antiwar Radio yesterday to discuss some analysis he recently published that looks at the Ukrainian Government’s lobbying efforts in Washington DC. Freeman combed over records and uncovered over 13,000 political activities that Ukraine reported carrying out in the U.S. during 2021. Among those activities were 2,000 contacts with American media and over 8,000 contacts with Congress. Freeman points out that, although he studies how foreign governments work to influence American politics, this effort by Ukraine is on a whole other level.
Discussed on the show:
- “Army of Ukraine lobbyists behind unprecedented Washington blitz” (Responsible Statecraft)
- Support KPFK
Ben Freeman is director of the Foreign Influence Transparency Initiative with the Center for International Policy. Read his work at AntiWar.com and follow him on Twitter @BenFreemanDC.

This recording is excerpted from the KPFK Gustavo Areano program of August 5th. The complete recording can be heard here.
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.

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.

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.

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.
