Why Doesn’t the CIA Just Destroy Its Secret JFK Records? by Jacob G. Hornberger November 17, 2021 With President Biden’s order granting the CIA’s request for continued secrecy of its 60-year-old records retailing to the JFK assassination — on grounds of protecting “national security” — the question naturally arises: Why doesn’t the the CIA simply sneak into the National Archives and just destroy its records and be done with it?

Will the CIA’s JFK Assassinated-Related Records Ever Get Released? by Jacob G. Hornberger November 11, 2021 By this time, it should be sinking into everyone’s consciousness that the American people are never going to be permitted to see the rest of the CIA’s 60-year-old secret records relating to the JFK assassination. Yes, I know, President Biden says that the new deadline for disclosure is December 22, 2022, which just happens to fall after ...
A “Deadly Attack” on the Capitol? by Jacob G. Hornberger November 10, 2021 Yesterday, I was listening to a classical-music station when NPR came on with the news. Addressing the controversy surrounding former President Trump’s efforts to keep secret his records relating to the January 6 protests at the Capitol, the NPR reporter referred to the “deadly attack” on the Capitol. I immediately thought to myself, “Well, that’s certainly an interesting ...
What If a President Is a Threat to National Security? by Jacob G. Hornberger November 9, 2021 Now that President Biden has granted the CIA’s demand for continued secrecy of its 58-year-old Kennedy assassination-related records, it’s worth asking some important questions, ones that hardly anyone ever asks: What if a president really does pose a threat to national security? What are the CIA and the Pentagon expected to do about it? What would Americans want ...

The LA Times’s Fallacious Article on the Minimum Wage by Jacob G. Hornberger November 4, 2021 Last August, the Los Angeles Times published an article on the minimum wage by a college intern from Duke University named Caroline Petro-Cohen. The article took California Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder to task for calling for an abolition of the minimum wage.

Interventionists Ignore 9/11 Motive to Our Detriment by Jacob G. Hornberger November 3, 2021 In the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, some interventionists are ignoring the most important factor in the Afghanistan debacle: what motivated the terrorists to commit the 9/11 attacks. Or, even worse, some interventionists continue to buy into the motive that U.S. officials ascribed immediately after the attacks: that the terrorists struck on 9/11 because they ...

The Silence of CIA Media Assets on the JFK Cover-Up by Jacob G. Hornberger November 1, 2021 One of the funniest aspects of President Biden’s decision to continue the CIA’s cover-up of the national-security establishment’s regime-change operation on November 22, 1963, has been the silent reaction of the mainstream media. Ordinarily, the CIA’s journalistic assets would have gone into action by now, publishing editorials and op-eds supporting Biden’s decision to grant the CIA’s demand for ...

The Evil Rot at the Center of the Empire by Jacob G. Hornberger October 27, 2021 Given President Biden’s decision to succumb to the CIA’s demand for continued secrecy of the CIA’s 60-year-old Kennedy assassination-related records, this would be a good time to remind ourselves of how President Kennedy felt about this type of secrecy: The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently ...

Hornberger October 26, 2021 With President Biden succumbing to the CIA’s demand to continue keeping the CIA’s records relating to the Kennedy assassination secret, the question naturally arises: What is the CIA still hiding? (See my blog post of yesterday entitled “Surprise! Biden Continues the CIA’s JFK Assassination Cover-Up.”) To understand what they are still hiding and why they are ...
