George Will’s Obtuseness on the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger January 5, 2021 In a small section of his most recent column, Washington Post conservative columnist George Will demonstrates the deference to authority that has come to characterize the mainstream media with respect to the JFK assassination. Will writes: For many years, some people insisted that a vast conspiracy, not a lone gunman, masterminded the 1963
British Judicial Cowardice on Assange by Jacob G. Hornberger January 4, 2021 This morning British Judge Venessa Baraitser denied the U.S. government’s extradition request for Julian Assange. That of course was the right thing to do. The problem though is with Baraitser’s reason for the denial: She says that there is a high danger that Assange will commit suicide if he is extradited. That was the justification she used ...
Don’t Let Cuba’s Tyranny Destroy Our Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger December 31, 2020 The noted author Alvaro Vargas Llosa has an excellent article at the Washington Examiner detailing how Cuba’s communist regime has used the Covid-19 crisis to expand its tyranny over the Cuban people. Much of what he details might sound familiar to Americans. He writes: “A common theme is that the people were arrested for ...
My Recent Experience with Immigration Control Tyranny by Jacob G. Hornberger December 30, 2020 Over Christmas, I visited my hometown of Laredo, Texas, which is situated on the U.S.-Mexico border. As I was leaving the city and driving north on IH35 toward San Antonio, I was reminded of the tyranny that comes with a system of immigration controls. The tyranny came in the form of a domestic—i.e., inside the United States—checkpoint, ...
Trump Can Still Partially Redeem a Failed Presidency by Jacob G. Hornberger December 29, 2020 With his pardons of Blackwater contractors convicted of the manslaughter of Iraqi citizens, Donald Trump has taken his failed presidency to a new low level. There is only one way that he can partially redeem four years of abject failure and destructiveness: Pardon Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. After all, what did Trump accomplish in the ...
Prepare Yourself for More Official Enemies by Jacob G. Hornberger December 15, 2020 One thing is for certain in a Biden administration, and everyone should prepare for it: More Big Official Enemies. Given that Biden is deeply ensconced in the mindset of the national-security establishment, he will automatically buy into and support whatever official enemies the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA proclaim are threats to “national security.” The ...
Call the ARRB Back into Existence by Jacob G. Hornberger December 14, 2020 The thousands of records relating to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy that the CIA has intentionally kept secret for almost 60 years are set, once again, to be released in October 2021. Congress, therefore, should call the Assassination Records Review Board back into existence to enforce the release of those records. The ARRB was ...
The National Security Establishment Is In Charge by Jacob G. Hornberger December 11, 2020 In the debate over whether a recently retired military man, Gen. Lloyd Austin, should be secretary of defense, the New York Times published an editorial yesterday emphasizing the importance of “civilian control” over the military. How quaint! Never mind that Times, by its own admission, endorsed President Trump’s nominee for secretary of defense, ...
America’s Life of the Lie by Jacob G. Hornberger December 10, 2020 Over the Thanksgiving holidays, I visited Luray, Virginia, a beautiful little town nestled in the Shenandoah Valley. Walking by the county courthouse, I noticed a plaque out in front, whose inscription exemplifies a root cause of the dysfunctional nature of American society. The plaque reads: Page County Veterans Memorial Those who have long ...
Fraud Asserters Perform a Valuable Service to America by Jacob G. Hornberger December 9, 2020 Ever since President Trump and his supporters began alleging that Joe Biden won the presidential election through fraud, the mainstream press, almost in unison, has been accusing them of subverting America’s democratic system. They say that Trump should simply accept the election results, concede the election to Biden, and congratulate him. Otherwise, they assert, allegations of fraud ...
Pearl Harbor and the Bay of Pigs by Jacob G. Hornberger December 8, 2020 U.S. officials have long criticized Japan for its supposedly unprovoked military attack on Pearl Harbor, which enabled President Roosevelt to fulfill his desire to intervene into World War II. As I showed in my blog post yesterday, the Japanese attack was hardly unprovoked, given Roosevelt’s actions that were designed to provoke Japan into “firing the first ...
A President Who Should Live in Infamy by Jacob G. Hornberger December 7, 2020 Today, December 7, is the anniversary of the “day that will live in infamy,” as President Franklin Roosevelt put it after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The mainstream editorialists and op-ed writers will undoubtedly cart out the standard tripe about how Japan initiated an unprovoked attack on the United States, which, they will say, totally surprised ...
