Scott, thank you so much for all of your interviews and commentaries. I will miss seeing them posted here. No one else in mass media has the insight you displayed on a daily basis, and no one outside of Jon Stewart displayed your level of snark. I will follow whatever future endeavors you may have. Good luck.

I'm at lost. I've relied on your show for years to get my knowledge about world politics and state of affairs. Now I really don't know where to turn to. I hope you can continue to do what you do best. I'm, or was, a donor. I'll pay a subscription if I do it Scott. Go to a Freemium model like many of talk radio are doing these days.

You're my daily bread, friend! Your due diligence, passion for liberty, determination to get it told the way it is, unfailing self-deprecating candor, intelligence and good humor–all in the cause of the simplest justice of them all, anti-war truth–make you impossible to let go. We'll hunt you down wherever your voice still rises. Best wishes!!
Andre
July 5th, 2012 at 1:16 pm
I’d be lying if I said anything less than I’m very, very disappointed about this.
Like many (most?) people, I have a lot more time to listen, than to read. If not for Scott having been here with his show, I highly doubt I would have ever accumulated enough information to end up being absolutely against the empire and ALL its foreign wars like I now am. Now that opportunity of seems lost to others, and that’s incredibly sad to me.
This in no way means I’m upset with the decision of antiwar.com. Lack of funds requires hard choices at times. But man, I am so damned pissed that the war pigs have scored another HUGE victory here.
Love ya Scott. You changed my understanding of the very meaning of life – for the infinitely better.
Thank You.

God damn it! I'm going to miss you Scott! You've been one of my most important standbys. I knew that if something major had happened in US foreign policy you'd have a timely guest on like Patrick Cockburn on Iraq or Gareth Porter on Iran & the IAEA. This is truly a devastating loss.
Good luck man, and hope we hear from you soon!

July 5th, 2012 at 2:01 pm
Damn what sad news… The best foreign policy/politics show on the air in any medium. Thanks to Scott I was introduced to Gareth, Glenn, Pepe and others. Because of AWR I gave a large (for yours truly) donation to AW.com. I'll gladly support your next endeavour .
Good luck Scott and may the wind always be at your back.

Suggestion — Have listeners pay to submit questions?
Scott has such famous guest speakers, would not listeners love to ask them some really tough questions to get their point across?
$50 for three questions, listener submits questions for Scott to ask when payment is made by credit card.
John Ellis
July 5th, 2012 at 2:23 pm
Listener ask questions — On the fly
Listeners could open a credit card account with Scott, then when a guest speakers says something controversial, then by Email or Twitter a listener could pin the speaker down.

Scott I love you man! I listen to every show you do and I'm so grateful for everything that I have learned by tuning in. I had no idea that antiwar.com was in some dire straits financially, else I would have stepped up. Get things settled with the website move and you can count on me for financial support in the future. The stuff you and your guests talk about and the articles that are posted here are too important not to continue. Stay free and stay smart, and above all else please stay in the business of keeping me from being a sheep. Thanks a million!

Awww, this sucks! What the Hell Antiwar.com? How can you let this go? This is the only part of the site that's reliably multimedia. How can this not draw people in?
Scott, there's got to be a better way to market your show. Work the phones and email and get sponsors. Not sure how high your overhead is, but you got to get some banner ads on your site. Figure out your prices, write up a rate card and then email that to potential sponsors. I gotta think there's a market for this.

July 5th, 2012 at 6:31 pm
This seems like a huge mistake by Antiwar.com. Scott's selection of high-quality guests, his erudition (by comparison to which most people conducting foreign policy interviews are kindergartners) and his unique interviewing style have made this program world-class. When I listen to other interviews on the same subjects they seem like pabulum by comparison. To think I used to find NPR substantive.
Antiwar.com, you don't know what you have here. You should be promoting it, not canceling it. I realize you may not have the budget for everything, but why throw out the crown jewel?
Shingo
July 5th, 2012 at 7:06 pm
I am shocked.
This show has become my go to source for infomation, as I don't always have time to read all the articles it covers.
And what have all these fund raising activities been about if they haven't included the cost of maintaining antiwar radio?
I for one would be perfectly happy ro pay a subscription fee for Scott's podcasts. They are invaluable and I personalyl don't know what I will do without them.
Please antiwar.com – have a fund raising drive just for Scott's radio program. I think you'll find that traffic to your web site is going to suffer becasue of this unfortunate descision.
Paul
July 5th, 2012 at 7:32 pm
NOOOOOooooo!
Scott, you are THE BEST radio host out there.
I don't mean that in any suckup political way. I'm talking raw talent, man you have it.
Your voice, interview style, and knowledge…it's such a freaking amazing combo.
Will follow your next moves closely and support any way I can.

What the hell?!!! Scott's radio show is my favorite part about antiwar.com! You can't get rid of him!
How was the cost not included in the recent fundraiser? What the hell did I contribute money for?!!!
If needs be, do like others have suggested and have a fundraiser just for this. To me, Scott is the voice of antiwar.com.
Seriously, just tell us what we gotta do!

While not sharing Scott's libertarian beliefs, I have become a big fan of his interviewing style. Scott has an superb knowledge of the issues, events and people and the ability to zero in on key questions. He makes the hacks, puppets and suckholes of the 'mainstream' media world look like…well, like hacks, puppets and suckholes. For such they are.
All the best with whatever the future holds.

dismayed, management has not shared with us such an unthinkable rearrangement was being conceived and how we could help rather then standby. I hope the management are aware of a better alternative.
whether in substance or style, obviously some big donor has been rankled by SH bold intellect. Is there a better de-coder of complex events available. lets hope this a temporary shakeup. Stay real Scott.
Claus Eric Hamle
July 5th, 2012 at 9:52 pm
Thanks so much, Scott. The US aims to replace MAD with Disarming First-Strike Capability according to missile engineer Bob Aldridge -www.plrc.org. The US Navy can track and destroy all enemy submarines simultaneously according to Bob Aldridge. Professor J Edward Anderson, "Deployment of anti-missile missiles in Eastern Europe is part of a first-strike strategy." The warheads on Minuteman-3 and Trident-2 are designed to minimize nuclear winter effects if used against missile silos according to Professor Paul Rogers. GPS (Navstar) was made to hit Russian missile silos accurately. The missiles will be operational by 2018. This leads to Launch On Warning by 2017 and increased risk of Accidental Nuclear War.

Antiwar.com should make other cuts at other places. The show was the only reason I came to the site or donated. It is a perfect format so I can listen to it while working or driving.
I seriously hope the antiwar guys reconsider and reinstate antiwar radio. Now with the show gone there is no reason for me to visit the site any more

Scott Horton’s show was the only reason I visited antiwar.com’s site, and thus might read some of the articles. It’s a serious mistake to cut this excellent, unique show. When cuts are necessary in hard economic times, it’s foolish (perhaps underhanded) to cut people that make your site more valuable, because, without Scott, antiwar.com will lose support and readership. The death of antiwar radio could mean the slow death of your site. Indeed, where has all the supporter funding gone towards, if not also to keep the very likes of Scott Horton on the air? This is an egregious error that the antiwar.com gods will regret.

This is just heartbreaking!
Your crystalline focus and your enormously humanistic sensibilities served as a sanity-sustaining vitamin regimen that I'd come to depend on in a most profound way. When I find myself drifting into that dreary place, where all seems lost and our future utterly without hope, your spirit and intellect and those of your extraordinary guests would lift my soul. I somehow knew that I wasn't really alone, and I knew that I was somehow in best company imaginable.
How can any of us ever really thank you, dear Scott?
Please…keep on keeping on, as we used to say!
With deep respect and admiration. -TT

People, instead of being sad that Scott is gone from AWC let us help make sure his independent show stays online. This does not have to be the end of it or even a particularly sad event, if we don't let it become such.
This goes particularly for all of you who said Antiwar Radio was your favorite part of AWC. You have the opportunity now to support specifically this show that has been your favorite part of this great site.

Scott, your effort to further the cause of peace is commendable. I am certainly saddened by the news.
Chin up and chest out bro, you service to our country is as commendable as any man who's fired a weapon. This aggression will not stand!
Walter Cole
July 6th, 2012 at 7:16 am
As with everybody else, I´m shocked. Your interviewing style is original, the way you have guests conform or not with a statement you make clears up confusion about the subject. You put everything on a friendly basis, like two friends talking about something exciting. Sometimes I´ll listen to an interview, one where I´m not truly interested in the subject, but find myself fascinated and learning even more. You sound so young, yet have the knowledge of six 80 years old, off the top of your head. You are very professional, and extremely dynamic.
If I hear about you popping up someplace else, I´ll jump right in to listen to you again, my friend.

this show is the most important part of the antiwar.com site I believe at least for me. I've been listening to it for years… I will still come to the site, but it won't be the same and if you do a new show please do a podcast/mp3 archive for it so can continue to listen and learn.

Scott,
I wanted to thank you for some of the best interviews I have heard anywhere. You always asked excellent questions (or at least I thought they were excellent because I wanted to ask the same thing). Your knowledge of world history is quite impressive, and were there any justice in the world, you would be a tenured professor at an Ivy league university. Instead, students at elite schools have to learn NOT to see what is really going on.
I wish you the very best.

If Antiwar.com let Scott go I might consider cutting my tie to anti-war. Scott was the most knowledgeable

You know, websites do have statistical trackers to see how much a page is visited or what is downloaded. Comments are only one superficial way to measure audience. Simply by visiting the pages and listening, the website can see that he had substantial following.

July 7th, 2012 at 8:49 am
I agree completely that Scott's show was the crown jewel of anti-war.com. I doubt that I would have consistently donated for several years had it not been for Scott's show.
Maybe the whole idea behind this is to sort of spin the crown jewel off from the non-profit operation–hoping that once its showcased in the for-profit marketplace Scott's talent and show quality would attract much more money in sponsorships than it currently does in non-profit donations?
What if Scott had high quality video production like RT or Alex Jones and did video-casts with people like Eric Margolis skyped in from the top of the world?
So I was thinking. There's talk that the Ron Paul Fest is going to have some Jumbo-Trons on hand at their Tampa Fairgrounds site so that they can simulcast Ron Paul's rally speech on the last evening from the USF football stadium. Maybe it would be a good marketing ploy to have Scott present the Ron Paul Fest with a proto-type of what he has to offer by putting some of his Asian correspondents up on the Jumbo Trons while itemizing all of the crimes of Romney and his foreign policy advisors across town?

July 7th, 2012 at 1:55 pm
Antiwar.com should be more forthcoming in explaining this decision, which has surprised and disappointed so many among their audience. Perhaps it's really necessary, but it's awfully hard to see why, with such a paltry explanation from Mr. Raimondo ("can't afford it anymore.") Wasn't the cost of the radio show considered when a target amount was set for fundraisers, and didn't Antiwar achieve their most recent fundrasing goal? The site overall is very worthwhile, indispensible even; but the radio show was the main attraction for me, and obviously for a lot of others. As several others have commened here, I doubt that the site can bring as much attention without it.
In any case, thanks for the fine work, Scott, and best of luck with the new site and whatever else develops.

Can independent Scott Horton Show continue to be imbedded on this AntiWar.com page?
His interviews frequently compelled me to re-read articles on the homepage, adding to the depth of knowledge & appreciation of the written articles.
Thanks for your consideration in advance.

I am literally speechless.
The methods of Anti-war are pure capitalist cost-cutting procedures that may cost a lot more than they think.

Scott, I was really surprised at the announcement of your leaving AWC. Your show was a key driving reason why I gave to AWC. I figured that, if I was going to listen to the podcasts, I should be fair ang give something in return. A quid pro quo of sorts. I so much enjoyed the podcasts, especially the Eric Margolis interviews. I can't see a replacement having the same rapport as you did with Eric and all your other guests. I anticipate that I'll still give to AWC, but, some of the $ is going to go to Scott's new site, wherever that may be. Sorry AWC, still luv ya but, Scott is worth something too.

This is just awful. Shocking. Scott, I've relied on your podcasts for years. You're like an old and dear friend, one who always will tell the truth, with humor and panache. I've gotten my husband hooked as well. Antiwar.com, why didn't you tell give us a hint in advance? Love your site, but Scott and his interviews were the main draw for me. He is irreplaceable. Darn.

All of us who have been complaining here: be aware that Scott is still going. There have been new interviews in the last few days, and you can find the archives here:

It's a bare-bones archive but it appears to have all the shows and that's what matters.

Gee whiz, with the departure of Scotty boy – who's going to assume the duties as 'gatekeeper' on AntiWar radio, to make sure that coat of teflon is regularly applied to the posteriors of the criminal, false flag terrorist sponsoring, 9-11 complicit never-to-be-mentioned certain Middle Eastern nation?

Well, I must say that I'm disturbed to see that my comments to antiwar.com about firing Scott Horton have been taken down in two places. My comments were not rude, crude, or offensive–just strongly disapproving of their decision to cut Horton. At least ten other comments have also been axed as well. For a site claiming freedom of speech and information, holding up the banner of speaking the truth and open debate, this is truly unacceptable. Can't stand a little disapproval? Shame on you! Talk about Big Brother. Perhaps my comments hit too close to home. This behavior does not speak well of antiwar.com.

And now my former comment has reappeared, as have the others that were strangely missing. So what is going on, antiwar.com? Having trouble with the website?

This is the most depressing news I've heard in months. I would definitely pay a subscription if the show was to come back.

Just adding myself to the list of disappointed Scott Horton followers. Best interviews and commentary I’ve found anywhere. Thanks so much Scott, really.

Scott, as one door closes another opens. Check out a site / system on the rise – Infowars.com and Alex Jones are looking for reporters of your caliber.
Really… check in with them and see where you can go from here.
Peace, Love and Freedom for all !!!

lol i loved antiwar so much i will even miss you John. You must have almost been up to one million negative votes. There is not a broadcast on this site that you havent commented on and been voted down on. I picture you standing on street corners with picket signs. But i am always curiously intrigued as to what your point is. Lets just hope that we can meet again on Scotts new site. Farewell comrade.

I can't understand why Antiwar.com would drop the best bit of the whole site!?
Scott's show, as another comment put it, is the Jewel in the Crown of antiwar.com.
It's a dumb move to drop Scott's show!

To be honest, I am very disappointed with Antiwar.com.
It was a huge mistake to cut Scott's show.
I think a lot of funding will shift over to what ever Scott pulls together on his own. He was the main reason many logged on to the site!
The lame excuse for dropping him being one of 'not enough funds!', is A CROCK, as the site will likely lose more funding as people react to this perceived injustice!

Are we all doomed?
Is Kissinger right who claims "Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world"?.
What happened to antiwar.com? It was one of my best sites.for peac-lovers….not anymore.

A truly sad event not just for people of the US but also the rest of us around the world, who learned so much from your articulate, incisive and thought provoking interviews. It's a poor day when such a voice is silenced and the likes of Limbaugh, Reilly and Beck continue to spew their ill-informed, spurious vitriol around the airwaves. Surely some radio station somewhere can afford to stump up to keep you going because, for me (and many others no doubt) you are invaluable. Here's to hearing you somewhere soon and thanks for everything…

Can someone please check on Scott??? IMPORTANT — Where is Scott and why do many links pertaining to his current activity fail including his whole domain? Attempts to post to his YT channel from multiple PCs and accounts fail. Can someone please GET A VISUAL ON SCOTT?

Decent interview. Sorry to see him go. I hope the man is able to collect as many donations as he can.
