The idea that the Jewish people should or would be restored to their homeland is not present in Christianity for its first fifteen hundred years. Both the Catholic and Orthodox churches saw the church itself as being a spiritual Israel, and that Jesus Christ had extended God's covenant with the Jews to all people.

Scott celebrates eleven years on the radio by interviewing Gareth Porter about Biden's first year in office. They discuss the negotiations between the Administration and Iran over a return to the JCPOA. Despite many crossovers with the team that reached an agreement with Iran back in the Obama years, Biden's people appear set on squeezing more concessions out of the Iranians. But Porter points out that, as he had predicted, the U.S. reluctance to return to the deal led to hardliner victories in Iran's last elections. But even with a more anti-American regime, Porter sees no evidence they'd actually produce a nuclear bomb. Scott and Porter also talk about Afghanistan and the humanitarian crisis the so-called champions of Afghan freedom seem completely uninterested in helping to relieve.

Gareth Porter joins Scott on Antiwar Radio to discuss his latest piece about the media's reaction to Afghanistan. Porter lays out how virtually the entire media ecosystem is arguing the withdrawal was done prematurely from both a counterterrorism standpoint and in terms of the evacuation of American citizens and allies. However, the media is ignoring the root of the problem was the overconfidence the U.S. Military and Intelligence Community had in the Afghan National Army. Porter argues that that is where the blame ought to lie, rather than squarely on Biden. Now Porter thinks we've reached an inflection point, with historic calls for those responsible for these disastrous wars to be held accountable.  Discussed on the show: Gareth Porter's page at the Grayzone “Afghanistan collapse reveals Beltway media's loyalty to permanent war state” (Grazone) news.antiwar.com — better than CIA briefings according to Chalmers Johnson “Surprise, panic and fateful choices: The day America lost its longest war” (Washington Post) “Top defense firms spend $1B on lobbying during Afghan war, see $2T return” (Responsible Statecraft) Joe Kent on Tucker Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state.

Scott interviews Gareth Porter about the tenuous and secretive relationship between the U.S., China and Taiwan. Since the Nixon administration, Porter explains, America has had an official, but mostly tacit, policy of supporting the "one China" principle—but U.S. officials rarely say so publicly. This has left an ambiguity surrounding Taiwan's status, and during the Obama administration one top Taiwan official in particular suddenly broke with America's longstanding policy of urging the Taiwanese not to push too hard against the mainland Chinese government. This encouragement has helped erode cross-Strait relations in recent years and has made Taiwan a potential hotspot for U.S. involvement in an open conflict with China. Such a conflict between nuclear superpowers, of course, would be utterly disastrous for all mankind.

Scott interviews Gareth Porter about his coverage of a recently-released document liberated by Daniel Ellsberg when he originally leaked the Pentagon Papers in the 1970s. This document, Porter explains, shows how in 1958 the military wanted to use tactical nuclear weapons against China over the offshore islands crisis. It was only Eisenhower's intervention that stopped the Joint Chiefs from going ahead with the plan, though ironically, it was Eisenhower's own efforts to combat the military-industrial complex by reducing conventional military forces that helped lead to an increased focus on nuclear weapons as a primary military tool in the first place. Ellsberg has released this document because the idea that the U.S. might go to war with China over Taiwan has thrust this issue to the fore once again. Nuclear brinksmanship, he says, remains one of the greatest threats not just to American national security, but to the very survival of the human race. The idea of an all-out war with China as in any way a legitimate possibility must be vehemently opposed before we ever come to the point of using nuclear weapons again.

Journalist Gareth Porter, whose work is featured at The Grayzone, Consortium News, and Antiwar.com, joins me to discuss this development as well as to cover the rocky history of U.S.-Iranian relations. During the course of our conversation Gareth and I delve into Iranian Foreign MinisterJavad Zarif conflicts with the late General Soleimani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and how Soleimani's death at the hands of a drone strike during Trump Presidency has effectively pushed many in Iran towards potentially voting for candidates that are opposed to negotiating a new deal with the U.S. In addition to this Gareth and I also delve into the history of the Iran nuclear program, Reagan vs. Iran, Soleimani vs. ISIS, Soleimani in Syria and Iraq, the tension between Shia principles and the IRGC, the JCPOA and Obama, and much, much more.

Gareth Porter discusses the recent announcement that the Biden administration will withdraw all U.S. troops from Afghanistan by September 11 of this year. This is obviously a violation of the May 1 withdrawal agreement made under the Trump administration, but Porter is optimistic that Biden and his team are serious about getting out by this fall. Scott and Porter also talk about the latest negotiations in Vienna regarding American sanctions and the Iran nuclear deal. Porter worries that the U.S. is taking too hard a line, thinking they can get away with continued sanctions, and that the negotiations may fall apart as a result. Discussed on the show: “Opinion | Is Leaving Afghanistan the Right Move?” (The New York Times) “Osama’s Prodigal Son” (Rolling Stone) “General: Afghan military will collapse without some US help” (AP News) “Vienna talks reveal Biden team’s attachment to sanctions that would torpedo Iran deal” (The Grayzone) “Israeli officials will object to restoration of Iran deal in D.C. visit” (Axios) Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state.

Interview #5,500! Scott talks to Gareth Porter about a range of U.S. foreign policy issues, beginning with the Biden administration’s announcement that it will withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11. To some extent, this is good news, but it obscures what the headline should be—that Biden has decided to break the Trump administration-brokered peace deal to leave by May 1 of this year. Since the Taliban have promised to start fighting again if that deadline is not met, staying another six months could seriously complicate things. Porter also brings us up to speed on America’s relations with Iran, Vietnam and China.

Interview #5,500! Scott talks to Gareth Porter about a range of U.S. foreign policy issues, beginning with the Biden administration’s announcement that it will withdraw all troops from Afghanistan by September 11. To some extent, this is good news, but it obscures what the headline should be—that Biden has decided to break the Trump administration-brokered peace deal to leave by May 1 of this year. Since the Taliban have promised to start fighting again if that deadline is not met, staying another six months could seriously complicate things. Porter also brings us up to speed on America’s relations with Iran, Vietnam and China.

Scott talks to Peter Lee about the ongoing Uyghur controversy in China. The Chinese government, he says, is trying to integrate their minority Uyghur Muslim population, as part of their larger project to urbanize and centralize China. There is growing concern, especially on the American right, that these efforts represent an outright genocide, with claims of mass forced birth control and up to a million people in detention centers. These fears, Lee says, tend to be exaggerated—though what the Chinese government is doing might be something more like cultural genocide. He stresses that it is important to acknowledge the horrors faced by many citizens of China’s authoritarian government, without using something like this as an excuse to advocate war.

Gareth Porter, independent investigative journalist covering national security policy since 2005 and recipient of the Gellhorn Prize for Journalism in 2012, joins us to talk about his recent article published on The Grayzone about how Pentagon brass has tried to sabotage peace deals with the Taliban and troop drawdowns in Afghanistan throughout the Trump years, how it continues to do so in the Biden administration, and whether we will see peace deal and a withdrawal of troops from the country in the near future. Dr. Katherine Blizinsky, Policy Director at the All of Us Research Program at NIH and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Rush University and Dr. Joseph Richardson, Professor of African-American Studies and Medical Anthropology at the University of Maryland College Park and the University of Maryland School of Medicine, tell us about epigenetics, how the theory was developed and how it has evolved, how it relates to the age-old debate of nature versus nurture, and how life experiences and trauma can have a longer term effect on our brain and in our evolution as human beings. Steven Grumbine is the founder and CEO of the nonprofits Real Progressives and Real Progress in Action, as well as the host of the Macro n Cheese podcast. He's also a leading activist and evangelist for Modern Monetary Theory. He joins hosts Michelle Witte and Bob Schlehuber to talk about the recent craze in non-fungible tokens, whether this is just another fad, how society ascribes value to things, and the gamification of life. We also talk about Rachel Maddow winning a Grammy for an audiobook pushing Russiagate, how there is very little real political discussion in the media and how it has evolved into pure infotainment. In our Working for the Weekend Section, the Misfits talk about NBC calling Biden the “father of immigrants,” Alexi McCammond’s firing over tweets deemed racist against Asians, and seven civil lawsuits have been filed against Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson alleging inappropriate conduct during massages.The Misfits talk about the tense meeting between the Biden administration and Chinese officials, and the newest spat between Biden and Putin.

Gareth Porter talks about the U.S. military's efforts to sabotage any attempt at leaving Afghanistan. The deal negotiated by the Trump administration made both the conditions and deadlines for withdrawal clear—but almost immediately, the military began claiming that the Taliban was somehow in violation of the agreement, and that America had to stay. Sadly very few people in power are willing to drastically change the situation in Afghanistan, and it looks increasingly likely that the Biden administration will simply try to stay the course. Discussed on the show: "How the US military subverted the Afghan peace agreement to prolong an unpopular war" (The Grayzone) "Russia Secretly Offered Afghan Militants Bounties to Kill U.S. Troops, Intelligence Says" (The New York Times) "A Secret Accord With the Taliban: When and How the U.S. Would Leave Afghanistan" (The New York Times) An Enemy We Created: The Myth of the Taliban-Al Qaeda Merger in Afghanistan Gareth Porter is an investigative historian and journalist on the national security state.

On COI #76, Patrick McFarlane – host of Liberty Weekly – returns to the show. Kyle and Pat discuss how members of the independent media, including libertarians, are pushing anti-China propaganda. A recent report used birth data to push the claim that the Chinese government was committing a genocide against the Muslim Uyghur minority. A recent article by Gareth Porter and Max Blumenthal looks at the data behind the claims. The figures, when analyzed alongside Chinese government policy, shows that a decline in birth rates is not due to an ongoing genocide. Kyle and Pat break down the details and other false claims against China. Pat explains how the anti-China myths make it into the American mainstream through the Epoch Times newspaper and the shady group behind it. Just before recording, the Pentagon confirmed Biden had ordered the bombing of Shia militias in Syria. Kyle breaks down the early reporting on the strikes and the dangers of Biden's escalation.

This week on CounterSpin: The New York Times tells readers Barack Obama was moved to negotiate a deal with Iran because of his personal “faith in diplomacy.” Is that an appropriate way to understand how these negotiations came to be? Our guest has an alternate view. We'll hear from investigative journalist Gareth Porter, author of Manufactured Crisis: The Untold Story of the Iran Nuclear Scare. Also on the show: Almost as disheartening as it is that this week marks the first time a sitting president will visit a federal prison is the notion that such symbolic acts — like that of commuting the sentences of a few dozen prisoners — might be mistaken for substantive movement toward fundamental change in the criminal justice system. How hopeful is current talk of “reform”? And should reform define the limit of the change we want to see? We talk with Mohamed Shehk of the group Critical Resistance about that.
