fthechance can you demonstrate the ability to comprehend what words like communism, socialism, republic, democracy, actually mean? Any sources or evidence to back up your labeling Scahill as a Communist? If I call you a programmed racist bigoted statist Trumptard it holds no weight without proof.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Jeremy Scahill and I would love for there to be many more TRUE journalists like him in the world. Keep up the great work, Jeremy!
Dear VICE; This is the first one of your podcasts I have watched. I accept that the framing of some of your other videos isn't geared for me but this is GREAT. I hope the rest are as great. Also, they do not have to be political in nature, just good questions and open conversation between someone exceptionally knowledgeable and someone knowledgeable enough to further the conversation. Bravo to both of these gentleman. Powerful VICE.
This interview is nothing but pure, unfettered, unadulterated logic. What he said at 6:50 in the video is what sold me. It's a great acknowledgement made by Jeremy that people on the left-side of the political spectrum who are very anti-war can also be quite brash and condescending when dealing with those opposed to their viewpoints. The whole problem is most people (on the left and right of the political spectrum) don't want objectivity. It's always easier to scapegoat others than to critically examine oneself. Yes, the rich and powerful elites definitely have a lot of blood on their hands, but us members of society who work for their corporations, buy their products, sit silently while watching TH-cam are by our very actions tacitly condoning the subversion of our democratic rights and freedoms. For those reading this; yes, I include myself in this guilt.
Unfortunately to much of the rest of the world the failure of US foreign policy is seen as a reflection of the collective ignorance of US citizens. As unless a gradual change of attitude is presented and seriously debated to challenge the current pathway the US will continue to stay on a path of self destruction. I'm glad that people like Jeremy Scahill exist and are courage enough to share a logical and unbiased perspective on the matter.
Excellent interview. I don't agree with some of Scahill's further left leaning political views, but he has a very agreeable position with regards to drone strike policy and war tactics, pre crime extra judicial actions.
Agreed, there's lots more to talk about, thankfully there is also lots more good material about this stuff on youtube with Jeremy and others on these wars.
I really enjoy hearing what this guy has to say. He makes some very good points and I'd like say I share a few of his opinions. I'll definitely give the documentary a watch.
1 quarter of the way through, simply put Jeremy is out standing when it comes to being factually unbiased, don't hesitaye to have him on plenty more times and perhaps provide him a spot in vice, hes truly the leading edge in truthful journalism, let me know any other journalists with the same free and unafraid perspective! hes worth all of cnn imo.
Scahill is an uncommonly objective and accurate reporter. I read his Blackwater book years ago, when nobody knew about Blackwater and their horrific practices.
very good interview, strange it came from reihan salam who is editor of the national review and who advocated for the Iraq war, is a libertarian or fiscal conservative so quite a contrast to the social justice/impartial human rights advocate of Jeremy scahill. regardless great interview. Jeremy Scahill one of the finest muckrakers of her time along with Dahr Jamail, Glenn Greenwald, Naomi Klein, Chris Hedges, Matt Taibbi, Max Blumenthal, Nafeez Ahmed, Jonathan Cook, and Chris Graham, all young I might add, who really are inspiring to a new generation of young people who want to dedicate their lives to real watchdog journalism and mythbusting that puts power into account.
Yeah. Holy shit man. i pause and realize theirs 40 seconds left, normally the last minute is blah blah here is my books nice to talk to you. this whole thing was incredible.
I like Jeremy,he is coneseure,he;s fair and he loves his country.He wants America to restore credibility globaly and the citizens to be free of the various interests
Accurate, fair and well put. The history of Smedley Butler tells the true story of how the U.S. arrived at its present state. How many Americans even know this mans name?
Finding the true power isn't necessarily important. If your government officials lack the power to do anything corrupt, then it doesn't matter how corrupt they wish to be. A truly libertarian nation need not fear its own government.
Re Jeff T. I agree with your post regarding the inability of people who adopt hard left right positions and are unable to look at issues logically if they do not sit within their left or right paradigm. You may enjoy the following quote from JK Galbraith.Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof.
See all those computers? They generate alot of heat, so unless their drop the temp of the entire room 10 or 20 degrees, which would necessitate the need of jackets; or put them in a both with it's own A/C pumped in, it won't help much.
He really brushes off the "better than bombs" question... I want to know about that. Is it a "better" practice? Are there more or less drone strikes than bombings from the US? Total collateral of both? Procedures to use both? Circumstances under which to use both? Are drones cutting back on bomb droppings? Should we even relate the two....
The thing about Exceptionalism is that I expect from other countries. I expect other countries to say, "The lives of my civilians mean more to me than your civilians. My interest outweigh yours. I protect my own against you." If people saw things from that perspective, we'd have a different world.
+harudossama You can love your country, but hate the government. Not very hard. All countries are led by bad leaders from time to time. Do you think Raif Badawi hates Saudi Arabia? More likely he just hates the twisted government and hopes eventually Saudi Arabia will enter the modern age.
harudossama in victimizing other citizens in other countries with our perpetual wars for the profiteers (defense contractors ) when evidence is ample wars are counter productive , we also become victims ourselves in USA when domestic social institutions are eroded . The beast of military industrial complex is enemy of the people .
He fails to mention this is not a 'traditional' war with a 'traditional' enemy. I understand questioning why we are still in Afghanistan or Iraq. But If you are comparing apples to apples, our enemies would love to kill as many of us as possible, their number one goal is collateral damage, so consequently in our efforts to erase these people, there is also collateral damage. And they often make themselves targets where that is not only unavoidable, but a strategy. War has changed. New reality.
I just pointed out that your reasoning for why one must support civilian bombs, tanks, etc. if they support civilian firearms was a non sequitur. I don't think you realize that that argument isn't sound because you just used it again. My position is that civilians should be able to lawfully possess small arms (rifles, handguns, and shotguns) through a reasonable process. If you have a sound argument for why I am a hypocrite for not wanting bombs to be acquirable the same way I will listen.
One man can drop a 5,000 lbs bomb from a million dollar jet 10 miles in the air. While another takes a vest with 150 bucks worth of homemade explosives and flips a switch. One is worshiped the other is demonized. But which is the coward?
A gun is a tool by definition. Merriam Webster: tool; a handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task; something (as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation or profession. What else would it be? I often hear people say that a gun is not a tool but rather a weapon as if they are mutually exclusive, which is obviously incorrect. A weapon is always a tool.
youngturks is more opinion based, I think "free" and "true" media and reporting would be something that's completely unbiased and down to the details, no skewing of information and data either, with actual reporting and less debating, and RT has some people I don't like because they let emotion get in their way of reporting, such as Abby Martin, nonetheless, they're the best I can find.
FED money printing is in effect taxes. It's taking value of dollars from anyone that owns dollars and giving it to the gov. in the form of dollars and when buying non-gov. assets (like banks financial assets or whatever else the FED buys in it's open-market operations) it's also sponsoring the owners of those assets.
jeremy the girl next door im afraid has connected with glen greenwald on youtube glen said i could contact him at least i think but this girl is good at spreading slaunder and i dont want her to do that to me i have not long since recovered from two breakdowns because of these families either side and they go to great lengths to descredit me and my family

Amazing interview.
Jeremy Scahill is a modern day hero.
Jeremy Scahill is a badass.
He's a COMMUNIST is what he is...
fthechance can you demonstrate the ability to comprehend what words like communism, socialism, republic, democracy, actually mean? Any sources or evidence to back up your labeling Scahill as a Communist? If I call you a programmed racist bigoted statist Trumptard it holds no weight without proof.
If there was an award for "best VICE podcast".
This podcast would win the award.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Jeremy Scahill and I would love for there to be many more TRUE journalists like him in the world. Keep up the great work, Jeremy!
Dear VICE;
This is the first one of your podcasts I have watched. I accept that the framing of some of your other videos isn't geared for me but this is GREAT. I hope the rest are as great.
Also, they do not have to be political in nature, just good questions and open conversation between someone exceptionally knowledgeable and someone knowledgeable enough to further the conversation.
Bravo to both of these gentleman.
Powerful VICE.
im surprised obama did not droned Scahill for making that movie
General Grievous what movie?

I love Reihan's technique. He keeps the his interviews focused and productive. Bravo!

That 83rd Chairborne division line made me burst out laughing.
This guy seems so genuine it's unbelievable. Not an ideologue but a searcher for truth and empathy.
I deeply admire this guy.
Thank you Vice and thank you Jeremy!
An intelligent, honest, and reasonable analysis
Thank you too all involved
My favourite Vice series by far. Reihan Salam is a great interviewer.
Love Jermey Scahill
Excellent interview. I don't agree with some of Scahill's further left leaning political views, but he has a very agreeable position with regards to drone strike policy and war tactics, pre crime extra judicial actions.

Long live Vice! One of the last bastions of true journalism.
God, I love this guy! He's brilliant! Jeremy is the voice of truth and reason.
"83rd Chairbourne Division"
😂😂👍
Great interview.
Excellent piece... Scahill rules.... Thanks Vice! All Americans should be forced to watch Dirty Wars
I really enjoy hearing what this guy has to say. He makes some very good points and I'd like say I share a few of his opinions. I'll definitely give the documentary a watch.

I love this series, I like the interviewer and I like the interviewee.
Cheers.
Well said to you as well. This guy is the model that anyone who wants to go into journalism should mold themselves around.
Jeremy Scahill James Bond of Investigative journalism

Nice, a lengthy somewhat serious piece from Vice. Gonna be an interesting watch as an aspiring journalist.
Jeremy Scahill is a good guy, I really liked this interview.
Scahill is an uncommonly objective and accurate reporter. I read his Blackwater book years ago, when nobody knew about Blackwater and their horrific practices.

Would love to see Jeremy Scahill and Michael Scheuer debate the War on Terror, moderated by Reihan Salam(sp?).
I like Jeremy,he is coneseure,he;s fair and he loves his country.He wants America to restore credibility globaly and the citizens to be free of the various interests
Accurate, fair and well put. The history of Smedley Butler tells the true story of how the U.S. arrived at its present state. How many Americans even know this mans name?
"...83rd Chairborne Division..." Superb pun, sir.
Great interview.
Excessive nodding.
Jeremy Scahill's intelligence level is seriously intimidating.

is that really what crosses your mind when you watch these videos?
This interview was way too short and I'm not being sarcastic. It was incredibly interesting.

who are some great journalist that i can follow on twitter?
I would agree with you there although I can't comment on that particular issue
Please get Eddie Morretti back.
I usually don't care for that tan guy's interview style...but, this was fantastic. Amazing what content can do for venue.
See all those computers? They generate alot of heat, so unless their drop the temp of the entire room 10 or 20 degrees, which would necessitate the need of jackets; or put them in a both with it's own A/C pumped in, it won't help much.

Jeremy Scahill, hella classy.
Jeremy Scahill is a fucking safe guy. Good interview.
I think he ][phoenixflip] is the aspiring journalist.
Wisconsin! That's where I'm from

I suspect most people know that deep down. But we know who has the power, it's not secret.
any one know what kinda watch that is?
is it truly sad when you hate your own country that you once loved?
harudossama so leave. not that hard
+harudossama
You can love your country, but hate the government. Not very hard. All countries are led by bad leaders from time to time. Do you think Raif Badawi hates Saudi Arabia? More likely he just hates the twisted government and hopes eventually Saudi Arabia will enter the modern age.

human being and drone pilot used together dont compute with me. to kill people from a position of total safety is dishonorable in the extreme.

"I take pride in not being a dick." Good sense of hum or, too!
btw, what does the term ,"military humanism" mean?
so true
Like I said: "To each his own". You prefer to remain ignorant and I support your decision.
youngturks is more opinion based, I think "free" and "true" media and reporting would be something that's completely unbiased and down to the details, no skewing of information and data either, with actual reporting and less debating, and RT has some people I don't like because they let emotion get in their way of reporting, such as Abby Martin, nonetheless, they're the best I can find.
If we are going to keep having "policies," we are going to keep going in circles.
I second that
FED money printing is in effect taxes. It's taking value of dollars from anyone that owns dollars and giving it to the gov. in the form of dollars
and when buying non-gov. assets (like banks financial assets or whatever else the FED buys in it's open-market operations) it's also sponsoring the owners of those assets.
