Why They Hated Kennedy, and Why They Killed Him by Jacob G. Hornberger February 22, 2022 While the decision to eliminate President Kennedy undoubtedly took place after his resolution of the Cuban Missile Crisis, it was without a doubt solidified when Kennedy ambushed his enemies within the U.S. national-security establishment with his Peace Speech at American University on June 10, 1963. With his Peace Speech, JFK was upsetting the Cold War apple cart that ...
The Evil and Malevolence of the Pentagon’s Brilliant Strategy in Ukraine by Jacob G. Hornberger February 18, 2022 The crisis in Ukraine demonstrates the sheer malevolent brilliance of Pentagon strategists. Yes, granted, it’s an evil strategy, but nonetheless one cannot help but admire it (in a negative way) for its sheer malevolent ingenuity. The strategy has involved maneuvering Russia into having to make a choice between two scenarios, both of which have bad consequences. The choices ...
U.S. Officials Are Lying Too on Ukraine by Jacob G. Hornberger February 17, 2022 U.S. officials are declaring unequivocally that Russian officials were lying when Russia stated that it was withdrawing troops from the Russia-Ukraine border. U.S officials say that it’s the exact opposite — that Russia is actually bringing more troops to the border. Russian officials might well be lying about Russian troop movements. It certainly shouldn’t surprise anyone, especially if ...
The U.S. Government’s Evil Actions Against Cuba by Jacob G. Hornberger February 16, 2022 While the CIA’s and the Pentagon’s assets within the U.S. mainstream press continue to portray Russia as the aggressor in the Ukraine matter, they continue to ignore, or, even worse, support, the U.S. government’s evil actions against Cuba for the past 60-plus years. It would be difficult to find a better example of evil, or to use ...
The Official Enemies Racket by Jacob G. Hornberger February 15, 2022 An essential element in any national-security state is the need to keep the citizenry afraid. If people aren’t afraid, they won’t be so eager and willing to continue flooding large amounts of taxpayer largess into the coffers of the national-security establishment. Therefore, central to any national-security state is the need for official enemies, rivals, and opponents. Fear was ...
Vengeful Thievery by Biden and the Pentagon with Afghanistan by Jacob G. Hornberger February 14, 2022 Throughout the invasion and 20-year occupation of Afghanistan, U.S. officials portrayed themselves as great saviors and benefactors of the Afghan people. Perhaps the best example of this phenomenon is the Pentagon’s application of the term “Operation Enduring Freedom” to its deadly and destructive operations in Afghanistan. There was also the supposed concern for “women’s rights” within the country.
A New Way to Fight the Drug War? by Jacob G. Hornberger February 11, 2022 A letter to the editor of the Las Vegas Sun yesterday shows how important it is to raise people’s vision to higher level — one that goes beyond reform and instead goes to the principles of a free society. The letter was written by a man named Michael Westerhaus. His letter brings up some of the ...
Obtuseness on Iran by Jacob G. Hornberger February 10, 2022 An op-ed in the Washington Post this week shows how obtuse some people can be when it comes to Iran. The article was written by a man named Barry Rosen, who is a former U.S. diplomat who was taken hostage in Iran during the Iranian revolution in 1979 and held in captivity for 444 days. Rosen ...
Assassination Hypocrisy by Jacob G. Hornberger February 9, 2022 On the morning of January 25, 1993, a man named Mir Amal Kansi appeared outside CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, where he began assassinating people who were driving their cars into the facility. He ended up killing two CIA employees and wounding three others. Four years later, FBI agents arrested Kansi in Pakistan and brought him back ...
Setting Up Crises in Afghanistan and Ukraine by Jacob G. Hornberger February 8, 2022 As I have watched how the U.S. national-security establishment has set up its latest crisis, this one in Ukraine, I couldn’t help but be reminded of how it set up a similar crisis in Afghanistan in 1979. Back then, the goal of U.S. national-security state officials was to goad the Soviet Union into invading Afghanistan. U.S. National ...
More U.S. Murders in the Middle East by Jacob G. Hornberger February 7, 2022 The U.S. national-security establishment and its acolytes in the mainstream press are celebrating the U.S. military’s murder in Syria of Islamic State leader Abu Ibrahim Hashimi Qurayshi. Mind you, they don’t call it murder. They call it a “targeted killing” of a “bad guy” or a “terrorist.” But murder it is because the U.S. military has no legitimate ...
Leftists Have It Wrong on Rights by Jacob G. Hornberger February 3, 2022 One of the central defects among leftists (that is, “liberals,” progressives, socialists, or interventionists) is their wrong-headed view of the nature of people’s rights. Their belief on this issue is one of the distinguishing characteristics between leftists and libertarians. Leftists believe that people’s rights come from the government or from the Constitution. As such, they view rights not ...
