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 Pentagon and the CIA were convinced would last forever. What was so significant about that speech? After the end of World War II, the U.S. government was converted from its founding system of a limited-government republic to a governmental structure called a national-security state. The justification for this radical change, which was accomplished without even the semblance of a constitutional amendment, was that the United States now faced an enemy that was said to be even more threatening than Nazi Germany. That new enemy was “godless communism” as well as a supposed international communist conspiracy to take over ...
The Cold War Racket Never Ended for the U.S. by Jacob G. Hornberger January 27, 2022 There is something important to recognize about the Cold War: It was not ended by the U.S. government. Instead, it was ended by the Soviet Union. If it had been up to the U.S. national-security establishment, the Cold War would have gone on forever because it is the best racket in U.S. history, one that continually expanded the tax-funded largess, power, and influence of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the NSA. In a sense, the U.S. national-security establishment considered the Soviet Union’s unilateral decision to end the Cold War a betrayal. The Soviets weren’t supposed to do that. The supposed international communist conspiracy to conquer the United States that was supposedly based in Moscow was serving as a fantastic boogeyman that was used to frighten the American people into supporting the continuation of the Cold War racket. There is something else to recognize about the Cold War: For the U.S. government, it really never ended. They weren’t ...
Where is JFK When You Need Him? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 26, 2022 President Kennedy had a unique way of viewing his communist adversaries during the Cold War. He would put himself in their shoes and try to figure out what was motivating them to take the actions they were taking. He would then attempt to fashion a solution to a particular crisis that satisfied the other side’s concerns. America’s Cold War generals lacked the mental capacity to think at that level. Their mindsets were always in terms of black and white: Communists are bad and cannot be trusted. There can never be negotiation with communists. Kill all communists. A good example of this dichotomy occurred during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which brought the United States and the Soviet Union to within an inch of all-out nuclear war. When Pentagon and CIA officials discovered that the Soviets were installing nuclear missiles in Cuba, their position was that Kennedy needed to ...
Clay Shaw, Liar and Perjurer by Jacob G. Hornberger January 3, 2022 In 1969, New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison brought a criminal prosecution against a man named Clay Shaw. In the trial, Garrison rejected the lone-nut theory of the assassination of President Kennedy. He alleged instead that Kennedy was assassinated in a highly sophisticated regime-change operation spearheaded by the U.S. national-security establishment. Garrison alleged that Shaw had played a ...
Max Boot’s Rant Against Oliver Stone by Jacob G. Hornberger December 22, 2021 Max Boot, a conservative who has long favored regime-change operations on the part of the U.S. national-security establishment, is going after Hollywood producer and director Oliver Stone. His beef with Stone? He’s upset because Stone has long maintained that the U.S. national-security establishment employed one of its patented regime-change operations here at home, against President John F. Kennedy.
An Incriminating Piece in the JFK Assassination Puzzle by Jacob G. Hornberger December 21, 2021 My immediate reaction to the National Archives’ very limited release of a few of the CIA’s JFK-assassination records is this: I’m not interested in seeing what they’re releasing. I’m interested in seeing what they’re still hiding. However, there was at least one document that they recently released that is incriminating. It’s a document that the CIA published ...
The Fear of Those Still-Secret CIA Records on the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger December 20, 2021 One of the amusing aspects of the ongoing controversy over those still-secret CIA records relating to the Kennedy assassination has been the reaction of lone-nut theorists. Hardly any of them, if any at all, are publicly calling on President Biden to disclose those records now rather than delaying disclosure for another year. What’s up with that? Surely, lone-nut ...
November 22, 1963 by Jacob G. Hornberger November 22, 2021 On this day 58 years ago, President John F. Kennedy was gunned down on the streets of Dallas. Almost immediately, federal officials enunciated what has become known as the lone-nut theory of the assassination. It holds that a supposed communist former U.S. Marine, without any ostensible motive, suddenly decided to kill Kennedy. Over the decades, however, as ...
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? By now, it should ...
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 ...
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 ...
