An Ideal Foreign Policy

by Jacob G. Hornberger May 6, 2022

With revelations that U.S. national-security state officials assisted their counterparts in Ukraine to kill Russian generals and also to sink a Russian ship, it is becoming increasingly clear that the United States has been a combatant in the Russia-Ukraine war since the beginning and is simply using Ukraine as a proxy to destroy Russia and the regime of ...

What We Need is a New Direction for America

by Jacob G. Hornberger May 5, 2022

If John Kennedy were president today, there never would have been a Russian invasion of Ukraine. That’s because of two things: (1) Kennedy’s unique ability to step into the shoes of an adversary in an attempt to resolve a disagreement; and (2) Kennedy’s willingness to stand up against the Pentagon and the CIA and their fierce anti-Russia animus ...

Why the U.S. War on Cuba?

by Jacob G. Hornberger May 4, 2022

Amidst all the pontificating by President Biden, the Pentagon, and the CIA about Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, a question naturally arises: Why the U.S. aggression against Cuba?  Oh, sure, one can argue that a brutally enforced economic embargo by the most powerful regime in history against one of the smallest, most impoverished nations in the world isn’t ...

The One Positive Side of the Drug War

by Jacob G. Hornberger May 3, 2022

There is no question but that the war on drugs has produced death, suffering, ruination of lives, official corruption (i.e., bribery), violence, gang wars, drug cartels, drug lords, overfilled prisons, destruction of civil liberties, kidnappings, arbitrary seizure of assets, wasteful bureaucracies, and other nasty consequences. In fact, it is impossible to come up with any positive consequence of ...

Is It “Disloyal” to “Side with Russia”?

by Jacob G. Hornberger May 2, 2022

Last week, I received an email from a conservative-oriented libertarian who suggested to me that it is disloyal to “side with Russia” because Ukraine was “just sitting there” when it was invaded by Russia. Are you kidding me? “Just sitting there”? As in just innocently minding its own business? I don’t think so.  Sure, most everyone would ...

A Fraudulent Autopsy and a Fraudulent Film

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 29, 2022

Those who have read my books The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2 know that the U.S. military establishment conducted a fraudulent autopsy on President Kennedy’s body on the very evening of the assassination on November 22, 1963.  As I have emphasized for many years, no one has ever come up with ...

JFK’s Rejection of the Anti-Russia Animus

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 28, 2022

Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger is going ballistic over comments made by fellow congressman Rand Paul and Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson that supposedly suggest a support of Russia in the midst of the Russia-Ukraine war.  Never mind that neither Paul nor Tucker said any such thing. And never mind that the United States is ostensibly not ...

Is Putin Right About a U.S. Proxy War?

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 27, 2022

On the surface of things, it appears that Russia is at war with Ukraine. But Russian president Vladimir Putin is saying that in actuality it is the United States that is warring against Russia and is simply using Ukraine as a proxy to conduct that war. Putin, therefore, is also saying that given that the United States is ...

The NATO Lie

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 26, 2022

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has brought to the forefront the NATO treaty to which the United States is a party. President Biden and the Pentagon have steadfastly maintained that a Russian attack on any NATO member automatically obligates the United States to go to war against Russia. That, of course, would necessarily mean the virtual certainly of all-out ...

My 50-Year VMI Reunion

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 25, 2022

This past weekend I was at Virginia Military Institute celebrating my 50-year graduation reunion. It was a super nice weekend, not only for the memories it stirred up but especially for the opportunity to interact with guys with whom I spent four years at VMI. In fact I hadn’t seen many of them since graduation day back in ...

Ron DeSantis and the Charade of Free Speech in America

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 22, 2022

In his battle against Disney World, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has exposed the dark side of free speech in America. After Disney expressed opposition to a law in Florida popularly termed “Don’t Say Gay,” DeSantis went on the attack by securing the repeal of a special tax privilege that had been accorded Disney some 55 years ago. It’s ...

Remembering the Cuban Missile Crisis

by Jacob G. Hornberger April 21, 2022

George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Let’s remember the Cuban Missile Crisis in order to better understand the situation in Ukraine.  In 1898, the U.S. went to war against Spain in an ostensible attempt to help Cuba and other Spanish colonies achieve their independence. It turned out to ...
