November 11, 2009 – Lew Rockwell – The Scott Horton Show – Episode 1028
Lew Rockwell, chairman of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, discusses the transformation of Armistice Day into a pro-war paean to active duty troops, the incalculable disaster of U.S. entry into WWI, the historical whitewashing of the Wilson administration’s fascistic actions and the government’s casual approach to killing – from capital punishment to war to health care.

Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses Iran's counter-proposal to the IAEA enrichment deal, the ambiguous meaning and political sensitivity of nuclear "breakout capability," continued defense of the 2007 Iran NIE by U.S. intelligence agencies, a new generation of efficient uranium centrifuges intended for use at the Qom facility and how the ever-increasing sanctions imposed on Iran by Congress are tantamount to declaring war.

Retired Air Force pilot Michael Bell discusses Wisconsin’s first-in-the-nation law requiring independent investigations of police killings; the police shooting that took his son’s life in 2004; the longstanding practice of cops being allowed to investigate and exonerate themselves; and how his activism got police unions, politicians and the public on board to get the law passed.

Scott interviews Jeb Sprague about his work studying U.S.-backed coups in Latin America, particularly the current one in Bolivia. Support for democracy and the rule of law is one thing, say Scott and Sprague, but it is quite another to demand that the military rush in to upend the normal political process, which is essentially what is happening now. Sprague advocates letting countries sort out their own political affairs, even when it leads to results that aren’t precisely what the political elite in the U.S. would have chosen.
Jeb Sprague is a Research Associate at the University of California, Riverside and previously taught at UVA and UCSB. He is the author of Globalizing the Caribbean: Political economy, social change, and the transnational capitalist class and Paramilitarism and the assault on democracy in Haiti and is the editor of Globalization and transnational capitalism in Asia and Oceania. Find him on Twitter @JebSprague.

Congressman Walter Jones of North Carolina joins Scott to discuss his co-sponsorship of H.Con.Res.81, the United States’s never-ending wars, and how Congress can take back its mantle. Jones explains why he blames Paul Ryan for the lack of a vote on H.Con.Res.81, how Congress has abdicated its responsibility on matters of war, and why issues of war and peace are the most pressing that are facing the U.S.

Wittner, Professor of History emeritus at SUNY/Albany, discusses why the US is “Still Preparing for Nuclear War” decades after the Cold War ended; President Obama’s empty promises on nuclear disarmament; why, contrary to popular opinion, the MAD doctrine does not lead to peace; and the catastrophic global effects of nuclear war.
