The Anti-Russia Paranoia by Jacob G. Hornberger November 8, 2022 Given the mid-term elections, the anti-Russia paranoia of U.S. officials has been at a peak. The feds have been scouring the Internet to determine whether the Russians are improperly influencing American voters into supporting candidates who refuse to adopt the Pentagon’s and the CIA’s extreme anti-Russia animus. The idea is that American voters, given that they are mostly public-school graduates, have extremely pliant minds that are overly susceptible to being molded into being pro-communist or pro-Russia dupes. For example, last July the Justice Department secured an indictment against a Russian citizen named Aleksandr Viktorovich Ionov who heads up an organization based in Moscow named Anti-Globalization Movement of Russia, which allegedly receives funds from the Russian government. The charge? Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen declared, “Ionov allegedly orchestrated a brazen influence campaign, turning U.S. political groups and U.S. citizens into instruments of the Russian government.” See what I mean? The minds of public-school educated Americans are ...
Fascism versus Socialism: Take Your Pick by Jacob G. Hornberger October 27, 2022 I was recently contemplating the run-off election for president in Brazil between right-winger Jair Bolsonaro and left-winger Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. I couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Brazilian people, given that their choice was between economic fascism, which Bolsonaro represents, and socialism, which Lula represents. What a horrible choice! Jair Bolsonaro. Creative Commons. But it’s not the only time that Latin Americans have been faced with such a choice. In fact, the entire modern-day history of Latin American countries has been a choice between right-wing fascism and left-wing socialism. One of the best examples of this phenomenon was in Chile in the early 1970s. The Chilean people were saddled with socialist Salvador Allende as president, who had been democratically elected. Then, in a violent U.S.-inspired military regime-change operation, Allende was ousted from power and replaced by the fascist right-wing military general Augusto Pinochet.
The Evil Within by Jacob G. Hornberger October 11, 2022 As I was reading an article in Sunday’s Washington Post about the alleged rape and torture of a Ukrainian woman at the hands of Russian troops, I couldn’t help but think about four things: (1) Abu Ghraib; (2) Gitmo; (3) the CIA; and (4) Chile. Yes, I fully understand that the purpose of the Post’s article was to get me to focus on the evil Russians. But it actually had the opposite effect. My mind instead shifted to the evil rot that exists within the U.S. government, more specifically, within the national-security branch of the government. No one should be surprised when authoritarian or totalitarian regimes commit evil acts. But when those evil acts are being committed by the U.S. government, it becomes time for the American people to take notice and to do something about it. Focusing on the evil acts of foreign regimes oftentimes serves as a way to avoid identifying and confronting the evil ...
Why the JFK Assassination Should Matter to Everyone, Part 2 by Jacob G. Hornberger October 1, 2022 Part 1 | Part 2 When I finished reading Douglas Horne’s book Inside the Assassination Records Review Board, I knew that the Kennedy assassination could no longer legitimately be considered a “conspiracy theory.” Horne’s book pushed the assassination over the line by establishing beyond a reasonable doubt that the November 22, 1963, assassination was, in fact, a regime-change operation ...

Why the JFK Assassination Should Matter to Everyone, Part 1 by Jacob G. Hornberger September 1, 2022 Part 1 | Part 2 As everyone knows, the term that is commonly used when the assassination of President John F. Kennedy is raised is “conspiracy theory!” It is a term that the CIA long ago advised its assets in the mainstream press to employ against people who were questioning or challenging the official narrative of the assassination. The ...
Moral Blindness on U.S. Evil by Jacob G. Hornberger July 29, 2022 One of the big problems we face in America is the unwillingness of all too many Americans to identify and confront evil within their own government, especially when that evil is centered within the Pentagon and the CIA, both of which are considered godlike by many Americans. As I point out in my new book An ...
Bribe Money for Ukrainian Officials? by Jacob G. Hornberger June 14, 2022 In my blog post of May 18, 2022, I raised the possibility that the $40 billion aid package that Congress quickly approved for Ukraine was going to be used, at least in part, to pay multimillion dollar bribes to Ukrainian officials. After all, why else would the members of Congress, as well as the Pentagon’s assets ...
Seven Days in May by Jacob G. Hornberger May 31, 2022 Yesterday, the Los Angeles Times published an op-ed entitled, “Why Does the Pentagon Give a Helping Hand to Films Like ‘Top Gun’?” by Roger Stahl, a communication studies professor at the University of Georgia and director of the documentary film “Theaters of War: How the Pentagon and CIA Took Hollywood.” The op-ed pointed ...
People Aren’t Losing Trust in the Supreme Court by Jacob G. Hornberger May 16, 2022 At a conference sponsored by three conservative organizations, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas claimed that people are losing trust in the Supreme Court. That’s not exactly true. That ship sailed a long time ago. The truth is that people lost trust in the Supreme Court when the Court decided to defer to the omnipotent power of the ...
Is It “Disloyal” to “Side with Russia”? by Jacob G. Hornberger May 2, 2022 Last week, I received an email from a conservative-oriented libertarian who suggested to me that it is disloyal to “side with Russia” because Ukraine was “just sitting there” when it was invaded by Russia. Are you kidding me? “Just sitting there”? As in just innocently minding its own business? I don’t think so. Sure, most everyone would ...
A Fraudulent Autopsy and a Fraudulent Film by Jacob G. Hornberger April 29, 2022 Those who have read my books The Kennedy Autopsy and The Kennedy Autopsy 2 know that the U.S. military establishment conducted a fraudulent autopsy on President Kennedy’s body on the very evening of the assassination on November 22, 1963. As I have emphasized for many years, no one has ever come up with ...
