The Long Sordid History of Pentagon Intervention in Iraq by Jacob G. Hornberger January 10, 2020 There is no reason for the Pentagon to be depressed, despondent, or angry over the fact that Iraqi officials are kicking the Pentagon out of Iraq. The Pentagon doesn’t belong in Iraq in the first place. First, it’s important to keep in mind that ever since the Pentagon and the rest of the U.S. national-security establishment ...
The Ongoing U.S. War on Iran by Jacob G. Hornberger January 9, 2020 The Washington, D.C., establishment and the U.S. mainstream press continue to express concern about the possibility that war is going to break out between the United States and Iran. That is ridiculous. What they don’t want to confront is that the U.S. government is already waging war against Iran and has been for many years. After all, how else to ...
Immigration Controls and Private Property by Jacob G. Hornberger January 8, 2020 There is a perception among some libertarians that simply by privatizing all property in the United States the issue of government-controlled borders would disappear. The issue would become, they say, simply a matter of each private owner deciding who comes onto his privately owned property. They conclude their argument by saying that there would be no “open borders” in ...
The Roots of U.S. Hatred Toward Iran by Jacob G. Hornberger January 7, 2020 Português A question that naturally arises but one that the mainstream press never asks is: What is the reason for the deep-seated hatred that the U.S. national-security state has toward Iran? No, the answer doesn’t begin with the fact that Iranian revolutionaries took American diplomats hostage during the Iranian revolution in 1979, ...
The Failure of Operation Iraqi Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger January 6, 2020 What everyone can agree on with respect to the current crisis in Iraq is that Operation Iraqi Freedom, the slogan that the Pentagon used in the run-up to its 2003 invasion of Iraq, has been one great big miserable failure. Despite Pentagon and CIA plans to convert Iraq into a paradise of freedom through massive death and ...
The Cause of America’s Dysfunctionality by Jacob G. Hornberger January 3, 2020 In analyzing the causes for the dysfunctional nature of American society (e.g., soaring suicide rates, especially among young people, massive drug addiction and alcoholism, and widespread violence, including irrational mass killings), among the things to consider is the replacement of America’s founding economic, monetary, and governmental system with a different system.
Concealed Carry in Texas Churches Saved Texas Lives by Jacob G. Hornberger January 2, 2020 Even gun-control advocates are admitting that if it hadn’t been for the actions of Jack Wilson, there would be more people killed by gunman Keith Kinnunen in the West Freeway Church of Christ in White Settlement, Texas. Kinnunen, who had a history of mental problems, entered the church with a concealed weapon, which he pulled out during church services. Within ...
God’s Way or Caesar’s Way? by Jacob G. Hornberger December 24, 2019 When God vested man with free will, He knew that when it came to charity, some people would choose to not help others in need. But that is the essence of freedom and free will — the right to say either yes or no when it comes to helping others. If God had forced people to make ...
Another U.S. Soldier Dies for Nothing in Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger December 23, 2019 If the latest U.S. soldier just killed in Afghanistan, as yet unidentified, was married, I can’t help but wonder what U.S. officials are going to say to his (or her) spouse and possibly children when they offer her the flag that draped his casket at his funeral. “He died protecting our freedom.” Or “He died for enduring ...
Social Security is Socialism by Jacob G. Hornberger December 20, 2019 Many seniors today have convinced themselves that Social Security, the program that President Franklin Roosevelt’s administration foisted on the United States in the 1930s, is a retirement program, one in which they have “contributed” their money during their work lives. They have this quaint notion at retirement that for their working years, U.S. officials were dutifully depositing ...
Pardon Assange and Snowden by Jacob G. Hornberger December 19, 2019 The Washington Post has just released a trove of previously secret records documenting that the U.S. war in Afghanistan has been based on a multitude of lies and deception. It is beyond dispute that the Pentagon and other elements of America’s deep state were determined to keep those records secret from the American people.That’s because it took ...
The Pentagon’s and CIA’s Destruction of the Bill of Rights by Jacob G. Hornberger December 18, 2019 Our American ancestors did not trust the federal government. That lack of trust is reflected first in the Constitution and then in the Bill of Rights. While the Constitution called the federal government into existence, it strictly limited its powers to those enumerated in the document itself.
