Confronting the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger May 17, 2023 The ground seems to be shifting with respect to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Displaying little or no fear of either the national-security establishment or of being labeled a “conspiracy theorist,” an increasing number of people are now openly and publicly acknowledging what has increasingly become obvious: that the U.S. national-security establishment orchestrated and carried out Kennedy’s assassination as part of a national-security regime-change operation. This is a positive and healthy sign. Getting America back on the right track requires confronting this dark legacy of America as a national-security state. That includes confronting all of the Pentagon’s and CIA’s state-sponsored assassinations, but especially the Kennedy assassination. Libertarians can help lead the way out of this darkness by openly and publicly acknowledging and addressing what happened on November 22, 1963, and bringing the light of truth to the American people about this sordid event. That’s the purpose ...
Ukraine and the Cold War by Jacob G. Hornberger May 13, 2023 On October 25, 1970, a team of well-armed Chilean thugs attacked an automobile in which Chilean General Rene Schneider was traveling in downtown Santiago. Their aim was to kidnap and kill Schneider. Given that he was the overall commander of the Chilean armed forces, Schneider pulled out his pistol and fought back, but he was no match for the thugs. They shot him repeatedly, and a few days later, Schneider died from his wounds. What was unknown at the time was that it was the CIA that had hired the thugs to kidnap and assassinate Schneider. The CIA smuggled high-powered weapons into the country to enable them to kidnap and assassinate him. The CIA also paid them a large sum of money to commit the kidnapping and assassination. After Schneider’s death, the CIA secretly paid hush money to the killers in the hopes of keeping them from revealing the CIA’s role in the crime. Rene ...
Killing Communists with Impunity by Jacob G. Hornberger March 10, 2023 The New York Times recently carried an interesting article about the death in 1973 of Pablo Neruda, one of the most renowned poets in the world. Neruda was a Chilean citizen. He was also a strong supporter of Chilean president Salvador Allende, who the Chilean national-security establishment, with the encouragement of the U.S. national-security state, ousted from power in a violent coup in that year. The coup was headed by Chilean conservative military strongman General Augusto Pinochet. At the time of the coup, Neruda was suffering from cancer and was hospitalized. He died during the coup. The Chilean military-intelligence establishment claimed that he died from his cancer. There were always suspicions, however, that he had been murdered by the Chilean national-security establishment. Pablo Neruda The Times article describes a report from a team that examined Neruda’s remains. The team found bacteria within his body ...
RATO and NATO by Jacob G. Hornberger February 27, 2023 Let’s engage in some imagining. Let’s imagine that Russia and China form a new organization, called the Russia Asia Treaty Organization, or RATO. One day they invite Nicaragua, Venezuela, Chile, Guatemala, and Mexico to become members. All of them agree. The U.S. government objects. “What is the purpose of extending RATO to our part of the ...

The War on Consumption by Laurence M. Vance February 1, 2023 Although Americans believe that they live in a free country — some would even say the freest country on earth — that freedom is limited and relative. The Cato Institute’s Human Freedom Index “presents the state of human freedom in the world based on a broad measure that encompasses personal, civil, and economic freedom.” The United States ...
Was Martin Luther King a Russian Red? by Jacob G. Hornberger January 25, 2023 Today, federal officials stumble over themselves to show how much they revere Martin Luther King. They’ve even created a federal holiday to honor him. Not so back when King was alive, however. During that time, U.S. officials were convinced that King was a Red, and they were also convinced that the Reds, especially the Russian Reds, were coming ...
An Old-Line Conservative Weighs in on the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger January 13, 2023 E.

A Major Shift in the JFK Assassination by Jacob G. Hornberger January 6, 2023 President Biden’s recent decision to permit the CIA to continue keeping its 59-year-old records relating to the Kennedy assassination secret from the American people has brought about a public backlash that has not been seen since the enactment of the JFK Records Act in 1992. This major shift is a tremendously positive development in the JFK assassination.
How We Got a National-Security Police State, Part 2 by Jacob G. Hornberger December 1, 2022 Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 The coin of the realm in any national-security state is fear.

Good Riddance on the Tiny Red Ripple by Jacob G. Hornberger November 10, 2022 While we still don’t know how things are going to shake out with respect to control over Congress, conservatives and even some conservative-oriented libertarians are licking their wounds over the fact that their much-anticipated Great Red Wave turned out to be the Tiny Red Ripple. I know that conservatives and conservative-oriented libertarians don’t like hearing this, but ...
