JFK Conference Update

by
Tomorrow night, Wednesday, at 7 p.m. Eastern, we continue with our ongoing online conference “The National Security State and the Kennedy Assassination.” The speaker will be Douglas Horne, who served on the staff of the Assassination Records Review Board in the 1990s and who is the author of the watershed 5-volume book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board. Horne’s book is what inspired me to write The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2. With Horne’s presentation, we now move into the autopsy part of the conference.

These four presentations will establish beyond any reasonable doubt that the autopsy that the U.S. national-security establishment conducted ...

Will Treason Mania Destroy America?

At the start of the Biden era, America is being torn apart by more allegations of treason than at any time since the Civil War. Historian Henry Adams observed a century ago that politics “has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.” And few things spur hatred more effectively than tarring all political opponents as traitors. The Founding Fathers carved the Constitution in light of the horrific political abuses that had proliferated in England in prior centuries.

No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.” After the end of Reconstruction, treason charges became relatively rare in American politics. Wars were probably the biggest propellants, with anyone who ...

Jacques Novicow, Sociologist of Peace and Freedom

One of the most important classical liberal crusades of the nineteenth century was to at least tame, if not end, the death and destruction of war. From time immemorial, wars have been the scourge of mankind. Huge numbers of ordinary people have been uprooted from their homes and families to be the human sacrifices in battle to serve the purposes of kings and princes, dictators and tyrants, and even democratically elected governments declaring that they represented the peaceful purposes of their citizens. It is one of the tragic failures of the classical liberal movement that its efforts to bring war to an end did not come to fruition. The liberals of that earlier time — liberals devoted to individual rights and personal liberty, to peaceful and voluntary human association both inside and outside of the marketplace, to impartial rule of law, and to constitutionally limited, representative government — were originally hopeful and confident in bringing an end to military conflict ...
